I undo my makeup and go to Trisha's. I find her talking to Veronica.
"Hi Trisha! Hi, Veronica!"
"Hello Aurora! Did you see the parade this morning? The leaders of 1969 were so cool!" responded Trisha.
Veronica sighed, "Aurora, help me, she's fangirling way too much."
"A-ahahaha... anyways, I have some news for you Trisha! While I was working in the palace I overheard that the Lightning God that you've been talking about are going to spend the day with a girl tomorrow."
"E-eh? What a lucky girl, awww...." Trisha states in jealousy, not knowing it's her....
Veronica stares at me and says, "You really have a talent for eavesdropping."
She's a sharp one. I smile, "Well I can't help hearing these things... they're interesting. Anyways, Veronica, how are things going at your place?"
She perks up and takes the bait, "Oh! Our restaurant is filling up pretty well because the troops have arrived. They always eat out. It's great!"
"Wow, that's great."
We talk for a while and then I head back to the palace. It's nice to talk in an informal way without worry. I'd better enjoy these moments before they find out.
Finally, the day has come! I put on my 'pig' makeup and wear some comfortable clothes for spying. I laugh excitedly as I bounce from tree to tree, branch to branch, roof to roof, until I find myself in a comfortable spot to spy on Trisha and Ryan. I stare down at the door as Trisha opens the door to run some errands. About 10 meters away, I spy Ryan and the others walking towards her, wondering which house it is.
"Hehe I feel like I'm watching a performance!"
Ryan and Trisha finally talk and I stare quite intently.
"Excuse me, are you Trisha?"
"Y-yes," she blushes, "How can I help you?"
"U-um I'm assigned to spend the day with you..." he raises his hand to his head and looks away.
Trisha turns beet-red and turns around in embarrassment.
Justin buts in to clear the awkwardness, "Well, the rest of us need to get going..."
They walk out of the scene and I change my position to a tree to get a closer look.
I feel a tap on my shoulder, "Leave me alone," I respond immediately, unconsciously.
Wait I'm on a tree right? I look back and see the Wind Whisperer, Kyle. I open my mouth and scream accidentally, but he covers my mouth.
"Shhh"
I then see Justin and Dylan in the background, on the roof I was on before. The Wind Whisperer princess-carries me to the roof.
