Chapter 5 - Ch-12<Meeting old rivals>

Lauran was waiting for boys to come and said, "Hey! What is taking you all so long? We will be late!". The boys come after few minutes and Bolt said, "They converted me into a model. Let's go now.". The others looked away as Lauran was glaring at them. 

The winter scenery was beautiful and looked like a paradise. The thin mist and snow glittered as the sun came out from behind the clouds. The aroma of bakeries filled the air. The children entered the net café and sat in the middle row. Very few people were there in the café and Lauran logged on the galactic heroes, waiting for boys to come with snacks. 

Bolt was taking candies, when a coin slipped from his hand. He bent to pick it up, but some one stepped on it. He backed down and stood up, looking at the face of that person. "Oh! Isn't it the abandoned freak? What are you doing here?", said Ben, leaning against the glass of the vending machine. His friends (minions) surrounded bolt. 

Gathering up courage, he spoke, "This is a place where every teen comes to play with their friends or make some. Now excuse me, I need to take jumbo marshmallows and other candies for my friends and myself. I suggest that you should also go with your group and enjoy the day. The winter break is short.". He takes the candies and Ben stops him by coming in front of him. Ben talks trash about him and his group says, "Boss, look around.". He turns around and sees Kaya and Luke. "Your highness and your grace! It's a plea-". "Bolt are you okay? Did he hurt you?", said Luke. "no, he did not. Lets go. Lean will hit us if we are late.", said bolt. Those two follow him and ben is angry. 

"Bolt! You okay! You look like someone has seen a dead body.", said Lauran, standing up and grapping his wrist. "I am fine. Just met old bully's.". "Do you want me to skin them?", said Luke. Bolt said, "It's okay. I won't let them get over me. If they try to bully me, I will fight back .". "I can teach you how to use a dagger. It will be a good defense technique.", said Hennery.

 After some hours of playing Minecraft and Galactic heroes, they leave the net café and were going to a restaurant. "Hennery bumps into a group leader and their eyes meet. 

"Hennery! How come someone like you be here.OH! Greetings your highness, why are you hanging out with a looser like him. He-", said Daniel. "Who are you calling a loser?! You really have guts to say such a thing to a Lady's knight. Besides, it's kaya's choice. Who are you to tell a prince what to do?", said Lauran, cutting his line off and shielding Hennery. 

Kaya, Bolt and Luke came forward and glared at Daniel's gang. "Jeez, I was joking! So you all go to Zondora. Well let's meet next time and get ready to be crushed.", said Daniel and walked away. 

Hennery, who was frozen, fell on his knees and Kaya picks him up. "It's okay. He is a jerk. Sorry, for letting him say that. He is from the opposition party and a very influencing person. It is a prediction that he may take the throne, if I failed to rise as a good ruler. I came here to have a normal teenage, but it looks like the noble blood always catch up to me.", said Kaya. 

"Hey, it's okay. We will figure it out as a team. Dad also went through similar situation. He said that it was hard but his friends and trustworthy people helped him. Now, he is who he wanted to be. Just follow your heart. Besides, I also have to take my throne back. My people are suffering from corruption and only I have the power to save them. We all have some issues but it can be solved, together as one. Don't be afraid from past to catch up, let's enjoy the time we have now.", said Lauran , smiling and patting the shoulders of Kaya and Hennery.

"Lean, are you a god in human form? You always radiate warm energy and shine whenever there is a problem. Not to mention that you always know about the situation.", said Luke. Kaya glared at him. She laughed and said, "I just know how to handle the situation. Also, I am a commander's daughter and a princess. It's just in my genes.". 

The boys felt happy and relived. Luke said, "Well, then let's go to KFC for celebrating. We have become an official group. Besides who knows what the future holds?". "Whoa! Even Luke can say something sensible", said Kaya. "He is right. We can not predict the future but we can prepare for it. Whatever it holds, we will come over the situation.", said Bolt. 

"Let's go back to the tower. It has started to get cold. I don't want to get scolded again.", said Luke. "You mean suspended? You are a trouble maker. Does any want burgers or pizza?", said Kaya. Luke at first agreed but then started to shout at him as he was insulted. 

On their way back, they got burgers. The boys were talking about going to ski, but then Hennery said, "I think you all are forgetting that we have our exams next month and our practical exams are going to start as soon as the vacation over. Did you complete your work? I remember than your science practical files are left to complete. I can help, if you need". "I will draw the diagrams , but not all. Haikai is hosting a new year party for ladies and I have to go there. I don't want to but I need to build my own fraction of nobles to support Kaya and myself. Also I don't want any of you interrupt it. You will cause a big distraction. Also I want to take revenge on her. How dare she talk bad about Bolt. in the library, she talked bad about you That time I wanted to cut her tongue.". "Calm down, Lean. We will not come . And I will also try to build my own fraction I nobles and take Daniel down. the nobles like them don't know what they have got themselves into. The only why to make people of empire feel secure is the crown. I will not lose it to people like him.", said Kaya. 

They go to the tower in silence. In the study, after eating burgers, Kaya, Bolt and Luke knell in front of Lauran and Hennery. "Please help us, Lady Lauran and Sir Hennery. We will not interrupt the party.", said Luke. "I should have not mentioned it. Well, get up, we will help you. ",said Hennery. 

They all settle down and complete the files. it took them four hours to do as most of them were empty. "All right! Now as most of the work is complete. Help me design the outfit that I will wear for the party.", said Lauran, getting up from her chair and garbing a note pad. "How about a suit? It will show your authority.", said Luke. "Nah, a simple elegant dress might be good. but as it is winter a suit is best. Tomorrow we are going to buy a suit.", said Kaya. "Yeah, but any one of us also need one as a dance partner. I don't know how to dance so I can't come, even if I wanted.", said Bolt. "I can not come. My chemistry file is left to complete.", said Luke. "I will keep a eye on Luke, so Kaya only you are left.", said Hennery. 

"Okay, then. Me and Lauran are going to the party.", said Kaya. "Okay! Let's go to sleep. Tomorrow will be a long day. And There is a shop where I want to go tomorrow too. You will like it Kaya. It is a cool shop.", said Lauran. 

Everyone goes to their rooms and sleep, but kaya takes his dairy out and writes down what had happened today. "I have a feeling that Hennery and Lauran are also from real world. Hennery had always been on Kaya's side and did not new about Lauran, until he joined Alex. Arron came early. I need to keep him safe. Kaya was a tyrant, but I am not him. I will change his fate. I did not knew that Luke was a goofy character. I had cancer in my previous life and did not get to enjoy life. This time I will. I will not let Haru and Karina die. It lead Kaya and Gary to become tyrants. They both cared deeply about them. Also I have my first true friends. Everyone abandoned me in my previous life , let's hope it does not happen this time.", thought Kaya and went to sleep. Hennery, on the other side was planning to strengthen the bond between the team and prevent certain deaths as for him, he had traveled back in time. He is completely un aware that kaya and Lauran are from a different dimension, where there are just a story.

Lauran wakes up as she gets a sudden realization. "Oh! No! Hennery and Kaya are from the real world! The story is completely changed. I will ask them tomorrow. It is a big trouble. We three are living our second lives. Are we cats?", thought Lauran.
