Lily229

Hey Nelson, it’s nice meeting you. Where are you at right now? I’m meeting with a few people in the spam zone, perhaps you could drop by and say ‘hey’. Her name is….

Lily’s fingers hovered over the tiny keyboard. Her heart was beating fast. Exactly how many people knew of Rose? She chewed on her bottom lip as she continued.

Rose. Her name is Rose, and she’s my YOUNGER sister got it? Anyway, see you around the Forum Nelson.

Lily hesitated to hit ‘send’. How can this be? She thought. How could only telling two people get around so quickly? I thought I’d have more time then this. She let out a sigh and clicked the ‘send’ button. Her PM box screen appeared once again. In the bottom corner it showed the time. “Oh crap!” cried Lily, jumping up from her chair.

The doors flew open as she dashed out of the room. I’m late to meet Sakura. Thought Lily as she ran down the Spam Zone hallway and into the main hallway. She heard soft footsteps running toward her.

“What’s the big idea? Trying to escape or something?” said Mini coming up behind her. “I told you, grandpa won’t do anything to you.”

Lily shook her head. “No, I have a friend to meet and I’m running late. I’ll apologize later.”

Before Lily could leave, Mini grabbed her hand. “Do you really?” she asked, quietly. “Do you really have someone to meet?”

Lily raised an eyebrow at her and took her hand back. “Yes, I have to meet a friend of mine. What’s the big idea trying to stop me? Is this some kind of interrogation?”

Mini threw her hands up to her chest and stepped back. “Sorry. Go on, go meet your friend.”

“Thank you.” Said Lily as she began her dash to meet Sakura.

Mini watched Lily run away through narrowed eyes. Tenten ran up behind her. “Hey, where did Lily go?”

“Come on,” replied Mini, keeping her eyes on Lily. “She’s going somewhere, I want to make sure it’s where she says she’s going.” Tenten nodded and together they chased after Lily.

Lily slid on the heels of her feet as she turned the final corner. “Sak….!” She cried as she slid onto her side, landing hard with a thud. Sakura was in a ball by the window, her head in her knees. “Sakura!” Lily cried once more, making Sakura lift her head up and look at Lily.

“Lily!” she cried standing up and running over toward her. She bent down and helped Lily up onto her knees. “Are you ok?”

Lily dusted herself off. “Sorry I’m late, something came up and I lost track of time.”

Sakura looked at the ground and put on a soft smile. “It’s ok, I was worried that I had missed you. I had just gotten here as well. My mother made me stay home and do some chores for her before I could come back.” She looked out the window it was growing dark outside. “I wasn’t really suppose to come out here anyway, but I snuck out if only for a minute. Then I saw you weren’t here and I had thought I had missed you, and I…well….I…”

Lily blinked at her for a second then put on a soft smile. She patted Sakura’s head, making Sakura turn to face her. “You didn’t have to, I don’t want you getting into trouble Sakura.”

“But I wanted to come back, Lily!” she cried.

Lily shook her head. “No more buts. Now come on,” she said taking Sakura’s hand and lifting them both up to a standing position. “I’m taking you home and we’ll come back tomorrow and hang out.”

Sakura blushed and slid her hand into Lily’s. “Thank you, Lily.”

Lily flashed her a peace sign and smiled. “No problem, Sakura. That’s what friends are for.”

“I can’t believe you lost her, Tenten.” Replied Mini leaning against the wall. She had her right leg propped up and her arms crossed.
“Me?!” cried Tenten. “You’re the one who wanted to follow her in the first place.”

“Curiosity is one of my better features.”

“It also killed the cat,” she snapped. “I missed talking to Shino because of this. I was so close to making a break through too.”

“No you weren’t, Tennie.”

“Shut up.”

“What are you two doing?” asked Ph3 coming up behind them. She balled her hands into fists and put them on her hips. “Well?”

Mini smiled. “Just checking out the new girl is all. But Tenten over there lost her.”

“I didn’t lose her!”

Ph3 narrowed her eyes at them. “With how things are going now, stalking a member is not the smartest thing to do. People are already whispering about revolting, we don’t need anymore trouble you hear me?”

The girls nodded as Lily and Sakura turned the corner. “Oh, hey guys.” Said Lily.

Sakura took a small step behind Lily. Mini saw this and smiled. “Who’s the girl Lily?”

“This is Sakura,” she said with a big smile. “I’m taking her home. We can hang out when I get back.”

“No thanks” replied Mini, yawning. “It’s getting late and I’m hungry. Tenten and I are going to Ph3’s for a bit to hang out tonight. Stop by if you want to.” The three girls turned and began walking down the hallway. Without turning around, Mini stuck her hand in the air and waved.

Lily looked over at Sakura. “I didn’t see Shino with them, I wonder if he did die and they really did leave him there.”

“Shino died!?” cried Sakura.

“Not really. He just goes really quiet so we say that he’s dead, I guess.”

“Shino scares me.” Replied Sakura, quietly.
