"Aster, I can't believe that you would sneak out in the middle of the night, trying to change your records in the record book?!" Lake explained, her voice reaching a high pitch every time she screams (A/N: Like me) , then she glanced at Aster who was sitting down in front of the desk, staring at the floor, his eyes full of guilt and a bit of... sadness. Lake sighed and took a deep breath before exhaling and calming down. She held his shoulder and said softly. "Look, I know you are going through a lot of times and it sucks, I know, but it's better because it can help you learn your mistakes and improve."

Aster didn't say anything, he just looked away from his tutor, ignoring her speech of understanding. Lake noticed it, sighing as she let go of his shoulder and turned around, facing the other way from him. Silence ruled the area, until the archer spoke. "You don't know what it's like..."

"Excuse me?" Lake raised an eyebrow, turning her head around as she asked, her arms crossed in front of her chest as she glanced at him. Aster sighed, still looking away from the other troll. "At least you have parents who gave you support, even from your childhood. I never had that, except Teddy, but he never showed me love in any way. If only I had parents like yours, Lake..."

Tears started to fill the grayish blue troll's eyes, he tried not to sob or cry in front of Lake, it was all moving too fast. Lake heard him and her expression softened, her parents' beautiful smiled and faces showed in her head, she could already hear their voices. She cried a little too, but she wiped it away and looked at him. "Hey, hey, just because you don't have parents, doesn't mean no one supports you. I support you, Lily supports, the principal supports you, we all do. You just have to understand..."

Aster didn't reply and stayed silent, slowly failing himself to hold his tears of sadness. Lake sighed and rubbed her arm. Cmon Lake, he learned his lesson...

"You can leave now, Aster. Don't worry, I won't tell the principal." Lake said, and Aster looked right up at her, his face brightening as he heard so, he slowly stood up and quickly headed to the door. He reached his hand out to the doorknob, but he hesitated and turned around to see Lake thinking of her parents, crying a bit as she did so. Aster ran up to her and tackled her in a hug. Lake's green eyes widened as she saw the other troll hugging her, a smile shined on her face as she wrapped her arms around him and hugged him tightly.

Lily peeked from the door, seeing them embracing each other and their smiles were so bright and happy. Finally, Aster let go and waved at her, before walking away and exiting through the door, passing Lily who entered the room and approached Lake. Lake saw her and she smiled a bit. "Thanks for telling me, Lily."

"No worries misses Lake. And thank you for making Aster happy. He really deserves it. You will help a lot of people soon." Lily smiled, while Lake glanced at the other troll and saw her mother's figure, she quickly looked away and rubbed her eyes, then she glanced back at Lily who waved at her. "Well, see ya Miss Lake."

And as she left, Lake waved back with a confused look on her face. She sounds just like your mother, Lake... just like your mother...
