Grazia

Astrix and Gwayne appear looking over the large city sitting in one of the balconies of the large building as they sip on a drink while chatting.

Astrix sips on her drink as she looks at the city sighing wistfully "I really like this city, the people and especially this view"

Gwayne cuts saying "I sense a but coming"

"But I don't know,I really want to see what's beyond it you know, see more places, more things and explore new places but above all I just...." she lets out a heavy sigh with her once cheerful face turning to a frown before she continues

"I just want my family to be together"

Gwayne looks at her with a sad pitiful face as she pats her back saying "I know, you're doing everything you can for their sakes and besides your brother's here too,atleast both of you are still together"

Astrix sighs getting back to her former self before she says "yeah, that's the silver lining in all this"

She smiles once again saying "I can't wait for us to be sovereigns, I know it's going to be amazing, we'll finally be able to move on with our lives, leave verizonia and see different cities, explore all of grazia, explore other planets and not just be stuck in one city"

"Yeah, that's the dream" gwayne says before her face falls saying "the very far, very hard, excruciatingly painful to reach dream" as she lets out a sigh.

Astrix smiles at her as she says "It is just as you said but we all knew it wouldn't be easy, a goal being hard to reach means it'll be all the more worth it"

"So cheer up gwayne, we'll reach the pinnacle, become sovereigns and it'll be glorious" as astrix finishes her sentence gwayne is beaming at her and they both smile and laugh a little before a voice says "ah, I knew I'd find you guys here"

They both turn at the same time to see kelvin walking up the stairs to them with a little boy that doesn't look a day over five year old sitting on his shoulder bouncing up and down as he hums a tune.

Freya and griffon are walking upright behind him as freya says "so this is where you two lovebirds are hiding"

Gwayne is flustered and her face goes red as she tries to counter "uhm, I, we.. we're not.. uh.. uhm" but nothing comes out but gibberish as astrix intervenes saying "we're enjoying a lovely view here freya, nobody's hiding"

Freya laughs a little before saying "you're no fun astrix"

Astrix ignores the remark as she smiles and turns to kelvin taking the boy bouncing on his shoulder and put him on the ground patting his head before she says "have you been good gray?"

Gray applies enthusiastically "yes, bro kelvin and bro griffon and sis freya gave me lots of treats for being a good boy"

"That's great then, you'll get a lot more treats now" astrix says as she ruffles his hair as he shouts "yayyy" while laughing.

Griffon steps up to the balcony saying "this is really a great view, the place has been in such a disarray lately I think I'll catch a break here for a little while"

Kelvin says "me too" with a smile as he goes to the balcony standing close to freya who turns and smiles while batting her lashes before she turns back looking at the city below.

Kelvin has an awestruck look on his face as he stares at her for a moment before he shakes his head finally speaking "hey gwayne, shouldn't you be more involved with whatever they're doing inside? They're preparing for your birthday right?"

Gwayne replies "my birthday isn't until next week kelvin"

Kelvin is shocked a little as he replies "oh.. uhhh.... yes, I knew that.... aren't they preparing so early though?" He asks as he regains his composure.

Gwayne replies with a blank expression "It's not for me, It's to celebrate rionel's arrival or him coming back I guess?"

Astrix says "like a homecoming then"

Gwayne replies with a smile this time "yes,exactly... a homecoming"

Kelvin who went silent for a second finally speaks up saying "hah, rion coming here? They better stop wasting their time then, there's no way rion is coming"

Gwayne looks at him as she replies "only he is coming though, dad already told mom that they they're on a ship heading to grazia, they'll probably be here soon"

Kelvin is stunned once again before he lets out a laugh saying "I still can't believe it, I wonder how dad did it though, he did the impossible, how did he even get him to leave his lab, leave his company" he goes deep in quiet contemplation before he continues "hah, it must be a robot, rion probably made a robot who looked like him and made him go with dad"

The others all stare at him before griffon asks "is your brother coming here really that unbelievable?"

Kelvin replies "If you know him the way I do then yes, it will be very unbelievable"

Griffon then says "well, your dad is a sovereign so wouldn't it be possible to bring rionel along if he really wanted to?"

Kelvin replies quickly "no, dad wouldn't that, no matter how much he wants to bring him here"

Gwayne nods in agreement saying "yes, dad will wait a thousand years for his approval if he has to" muttering under her breath "even if that means leaving us"

Freya looks at kelvin with a smile as she says "well, nobody knows him here apart from you so care to tell us why it's so unbelievable?"

"Well I told you he built his company at fifteen right?"

"Well then be seated and get ready because it's a long story" kelvin with a dramatic expression.

Astrix rolls her eyes as she says "how dramatic" as the others concur all except freya who says "well, I like drama and a dramatic flair is cute."

Kelvin smiles warmly at her before gray who was sitting with astrix runs up to kelvin shouting "yayyy story time, what story are you going to tell us kelvin?"

Kelvin replies in a low voice "I'm going to tell you a story of my jerk brother called rionel.
