The sun had spread all over the lands. The breeze yet still would become cooler. Summer and spring had for sure passed, and fall followed by winter was here. It was the morning of the first meeting.
I woke up at 6:00 and decided to have my morning tea on my balcony. I stared at the sky for a long time, but eventually, it was time for me to start drinking my tea. I drank a few sips when people started coming one by one. They all were new faces. From above, all I could tell was that they knew each other. Some who were walking alone, while others walked in groups.
I thought of maybe going down and greeting them, then I decided to wait for a little to finish my morning tea. While I was sitting, some of those who arrived notice me sitting on the balcony. Most of whom had noticed bowed with their head as a sign of acknowledgment, but there was that one person in a group who kept on jumping up and down while waving. He was far so I couldn't see who he was, but what caught my attention, even more, was that before he saw me, I would have said that he was the head/leader of the group he was walking with. After seeing me, his attitude changed in a matter of seconds. It was childish but friendly. I had to smile at him.
I finished my tea, changed my shoes and walked my way out of my wing to the stairs. The stairs to the main ground-floor hall came from 2 directions and then joined at the ground-floor.
Many new faces gathered there. It was most crowded then; for the first time since I came to the Golden House.
I walked down the stairs. Lowell was standing on the edge of the last stair. "You don't seem well. Are you fine?"
"I don't know. I just woke up today feeling a bit dizzy. I think it will get better soon. You don't have to worry."
I was still speaking with Lowell when I heard running steps, and from nowhere someone, I did not know, jumped on my back. "At last my one- and only - dream came true." He was heavy.
"Today, I can't even express to you how happy I am. This is definitely a dream came true."
He was a young man with very beautiful platinum silver hair, not long, not short a little under his ears' curve. He had a perfect line that separated the front part of his hair equally. His eyes were a soft hazel color; they matched his hair tone perfectly. How could I have known this guy when I never saw someone with his beauty ever before? But not speaking about his looks, his voice and smell were familiar; he smelled like 'Mr. Smoker (the smell of cigarettes). "I, Alden Silver, am in the Golden House beside Asami," he started dramatically crying.
"ALDEN SILVER, stop freaking the girl out. You freak!", a girl with a new face to me pulled him away; she too had silver hair and very strong charisma.
"Alden Silver..." I could not believe what I was hearing. This young guy who just jumped on my back was actually 'Mr. Smoker'. "How could he be 'Mr. Smoker'?" I asked myself loudly full of confusion that could be sensed in my voice.
"I have told you countless times before that I'm in my 20s."
"You look so different."
"You were surprised? I didn't mean to freak you out. I'm sor..."
"I feel less guilty now for all that I had said to you."

[Alden's point of veiw]
She, Asami, was Asami that I had always known. I worried about her getting into a shock after seeing me like this, but she seemed fine.
Lowell did seem tried a little, but she still was doing her job perfectly. She may be out of this world most of the time with her dramatic attitude, but she always was serious during such matters.
"Everyone on my list is here now except the two 'Black'(s). Has anyone seen them?"
"I met Ash Black the other day. He said he was coming. Let's wait for few more minutes..." Asami spoke
"Okay, then. Le..."
A voice from the assembly rose, "We're here. Ash Black and Leala Black."
