(1st Person PoV)

"You are mean," I deadpanned and Kaoro just glanced at me. "So?" He asked and kept on walking, leaving the store that we were at previously. I had nothing to respond with but I just kept on glaring.

Eventually, we made it to a sports store. Little 5 was the name of the store and the two of us walked in only to immediately stop as a rack fell in front of us. A person wearing a yellow jacket was on it and stared at us. Small marble balls rolled out from the rack and then a grin broke out on the person's face.

"Yo," he said and I nearly fainted. "Kennedy! I told you that the rack couldn't handle you," a voice said and a girl with a white and black dress appeared, walking very elegantly.

"Wow...I'm unimpressed that you're stating the obvious," the person, whom I assume was named Kennedy, rolled his eyes. "Well you should have listened to me," the girl flicked her black hair back. "Yeah yeah, whatever," they got up and looked at us.

"I can tell from your faces that you must be wondering who I am. Well today, I'm feeling quite generous but don't get used to it. I'm Kennedy Miles Astrik, Ulimate Chocolate Maker," he said.

"Chocolate Maker?" I asked, tilting my head. "It's exactly how it sounds, pretty boy! Clean your ears," Kennedy demanded. "Oh but please do it somewhere else. I don't want my dress getting dirty from earwax," the girl added.

"I don't think they meant it literally. It's just that he needs to pay attention more," Kaoro explained, coldly. "I was just double checking to make sure that I heard it right!" I shouted, blushing with embarrassment.

"Oh ok then. Now as I was telling you, Kennedy, that rack couldn't hold you," the girl said, moving fast from the conversation. "Ugh, you're such a nag," Kennedy rolled his eyes. "I don't care that I'm a nag, you should have listened to me," the girl insisted. "How much are you going to keep this up? I heard you already, god!" Kennedy huffed.

"Well, now I suppose you have learned your lesson," the girl shrugged and Kennedy grumbled something unpleasant under his breath but it was in a language that I didn't quite understand.

"So what's your name and talent?" Kaoro asked, crossing his arms. "Hmm? Oh me? My bad, I forgot to tell you," the girl giggled.

"I'm Tomoe Nakamura, Ultimate Fashion Icon," she said, flashing her brilliant white teeth as she smiled at us.

She must be the Fashion Icon that the forms were talking about! I thought with a jolt. Kaoro and I introduce ourselves to the two.

"Your talent is lame," Kennedy told Kaoro and his hand went over to the hatchet that I forgot he had. "Don't insult his talent. He wouldn't be here if he wasn't recognized by Sora Academy," I told him while Kennedy made an unamused look at me.

"And you're even lamer despite having a cool talent. What a waste," he scoffed and I felt my fist curl up, my fingernails digging into my palm.

"Th-that's enough already," a new voice spoke up softly and I turned my head around to see a girl wearing a brown dress with a criss cross design. She had a guitar case as well. "And what are you going to do about it?" Kennedy asked.

"Telling how mean you sound," the girl said, shyly. "Ha! You're just as lame as everyone else here. Well this is getting boring so bye bye now!" Kennedy waved and with a final crackle, he left.

"Oh sheesh, they never listen do they?" Tomoe asked with a bored sigh. "He's definitely a problem. I'll have to keep an eye on him," Kaoro said, not keeping his hand off his hatchet. Something about that is making me uneasy.

"A-are you alright?" The girl asked me and I let my fist go. "Y-Yeah...I guess," I admitted. The girl didn't seem to believe me but she didn't ask any more questions.

"Well, I believe that there's one more person here. I already met them so I'm not going to stick around here. I'll be at the Macy-Penny if you need me," Tomoe waved and left.

Kaoro turned to the girl and asked, "do you know where this other person is?" The girl took notice of his hatchet and squeaked out, "yes." She seemed nervous about it. "Where?" Kaoro asked and she immediately pointed to the shoe area. He immediately went over there.

"Sorry about him," I apologized with a bow. "He hasn't tried to use that hatchet has he?" The girl asked and I shook my head. "As far as I know, no," I replied and her shoulders relaxed a little. "That's good...oh uhh...s-sorry, I forgot to introduce myself. I'm Taito Namiki, Ultimate Guitarist," she said.

"Oh, cool talent. I'm Kuro Tamashi, Ultimate Coder," I told her and she gave me a small smile. "You have a cool talent too," she said. I then turned my head towards the direction where Kaoro left.

"I should probably check on what Kaoro is doing," I muttered. "Oh! Let me go with you," Taito said and I nodded.

As soon as we got there, Kaoro was looking at a person who was hopping from one bench to another. "Ah, new people. Hopefully you're more of a talker than this guy," the person said, whirling around to face us while on top of the bench. They placed their hands behind their back and gave us a wide grin.

"Hi...what's your name and talent?" I asked. "I feel like I have said it a million times today but since I don't know ya, I can tell ya! I'm Misao Natsu, Ultimate Daredevil!" They explained.

"Ultimate Daredevil?" Taito asked, confused. "I do all sorts of stunts! Surely you have seen me on YouTube or something?" Misao asked, doing a spin while spreading their arms out. We shook our heads and they pouted.

"Awww! Well, here's to a blossoming to a brand new friendship!" Misao exclaimed and Kaoro frowned at this.

"Who said that we would be friends?" He asked. "Sheesh, you must be fun at parties. What about you? Will we be friends?" Misao asked. "Umm...sure I guess," I said and they jumped in the air, happily.

"Yahoo! A new friend! And what about you?" Misao asked Taito and she flinched. "Umm, ok," she said and they jumped in the air again.

"New friends! New friends!" They cheered. Well this was a fresh new start.

A/N: sup fellas, it's been a while. I changed it from On Hold to Slow Updates as well. Haven't forgotten about this dw. We're almost done with the prologue so we'll hopefully be getting into Ch1 who knows when.

Can't guarantee the time though.

Cya in the next one -Flare
