Kiti's family was celebrating. She had just gotten the news that she had been accepted to do the voice of Alien Invader #12. After squealing for several minutes, her younger brother Jays, decided that they should go for ice-cream to celebrate. Mom had agreed, and pretty soon everyone exept Ken (who was out with his college friends) had descended on a local ice-cream store. As Kiti and her Mom sat down at one of the booths, laughing and joking loudly, Jays and Dad went to the front to order, every once in a while clarifying what someone wanted from across the room.

Yumi and her little brother walked into the ice cream parlor, her brother still had some tears in his eyes. Yumi pulled a wade of money from her pocket, walking to the counter she ordered what she wanted.

"Now what do you want?" She said looking down at her brother with a smile "Get what every you want." She said trying to make him somewhat happy.

"I want..." He paused looking at the selection, "that." He said pointing at something on the menu. Yumi told the employee that would be all and paid, she let her brother choose a table by the window.

Yumi couldn't find words to talk to her brother so she looked at the window while he swung his feet under the table.

Jiro walked into the parlor accompanied by no one. He looked around without interest at the crowd already there. He noticed one group that were chatting noisly. His self was quiet, and he kept his head pointed more downwards. He guessed that it was a family together. Well that's why he was there. He was getting ice cream for his family: Ax.

He waited at the end of the line, leaning against the wall, his eyes half closed and now paying attention only to the line ahead of him. Occasionally he flashed a glance in Yumi's direction, her blonde hair catching his eyes. Catching sight of the younger boy, he wondered if she was babysitting, or prehaps that was her kid which would be odd. Blinking, he went back to watching the slow moving line ahead.

Yumi looked around the place, trying to find something to take her mind off earlier events.

"Sissy" Her brother said quietly, while playing with his ice-cream. "Do you think mommy is OK?" Yumi looked over at him and smiled.

"Don't worry about her, she will be all right." She said in a soothing tone. "Just eat your ice-cream, and try not to worry OK?"

He gave an OK and took a spoon full of ice-cream in his mouth. Yumi took a lick off her ice-cream cone.

I'll drop him off at his friends or at Kyo's, Then I'll go home a check on mom. I hope she alright. Yumi though as she looked out the window.

Jiro didn't catch what the boy had said due to shock of Yumi's blunt question. "Well...uh....I guess you'll have to see yourself, eh?" he said with a nervous laugh.

"Heh, I guess I will." She said stretching her arm behind her head.

Looking down at her brother then at Jiro. "Well, I got to get going, maybe I'll see you around." She let her arms drop and grabbed her brothers hand.

She headed towards the ally.
