Chapter XV: Memories and Plans

Morning came. Onmaen and Zilch have decided to go visit Nix in the Schneere Manor. The two met up in the park.

"Oi! Zilch!" Onmaen shouted. The girl waved back and walked towards him. "Hey there."

The two walked through the group of children playing and gazed at the perfect sky.

"Seems ironic, doesn't it?" Zilch said. "Bad luck always follows us, and here we are looking at the perfect sky."

"Yeah." Onmaen replied. "Hey listen... I got to tell you something..." he looked sideways. "What is it?"

"Well, it turns out that Lexi was Nate's Ex." he replied, still avoiding eye contact. "Oh? Really?" Zilch asked. "Yes. Worst part is... I saw them kissing."

"No way!" Zilch replied. "I don't know what to do. You gotta help me." Onmaen looked at Zilch, eyes filled with desperation.

"Sure. What are friends for!" she beamed with a smile. And they reached the manor.

The manor was as usual flawless. The butler already let the two come in and pointed to where Nix's room was located.

The two carefully climbed the stairs, although it almost took them an eternity to do it.

They were in front of Nix's Room.

*knock*

"Hey Nix... It's us..." the two came in carefully opening the door.

"Onmaen! Zilch!" she replied.

She was not in a good shape. She was in her bed, obviously still exhausted from what happened. Her eyes were red, evident that she hasn't gotten much sleep. Or she was crying. Or both.

The three took sometime to chat and so on. It was touching how they never got to communicate these days. It's just that love was always in the way.

"You know what will be a great idea?" Onmaen asked excitedly. "How about we three go out tomorrow! No worries! No lovelife! Just the three of us getting back together!" he smiled.

"That'll be great!" "No problems here!"

"Okay then! We'll meet at the park at nine. Is that okay?" he once more asked again.

"Sure."

A few more laughs, jokes, conversations were made before the two went out of the manor.

"I wish we had more times like these." Zilch said with a smile. "Yeah! How come we never do stuff like that anymore?" Onmaen asked. "Love. And a little bad luck." Zilch replied.

And the two walked laughing.
