"I bet you don't remember me." -- "Only every other memory."

[singularjustice]

Who: N and whoever!
Where: Plaza.
When: Saturday Afternoon.
Style: Either or!
Status: Open.

[ There is a tall boy standing in the plaza, tea-green hair blown back behind him as a large white dragon blows warm air around him, just enough to work on drying his soaked state.

N knows he has been gone for some time. It is like waking up from a very deep sleep, where the dreams you once had were fading blur, yet it was obvious hours upon hours had passed.

He was wearing his old clothes again. He remembers the wind whipping his hair, Hilda's calls before he leapt to Reshiram's back. That memory seems so close and yet so far away.

The boy pushes it out of his mind. It does not matter now.

N is home. ]

Haro! Tieria!

[ N laughed, reaching his hands out for the purple robot. Why did it feel like it had been so long? ]

[by_my_will]

It is good to see you are safe.

[Haro flapped happily, bounding up into N's open arms.]

I believe someone else will be happy to see you.

[It had been a surprise to Tieria, but the blue Haro that had been Setsuna's had come back the day N disappeared. But, it had seemed almost lonely with just the purple Haro to keep it company... like it had grown accustomed to the pets and Pokémon that N had around.

For now, it was sitting next to Tieria's feet, watching the purple Haro and N interact.]

[singularjustice]

-- Haro.

[ N beamed brightly, shifting the purple one to one arm and holding out his now free one to the blue robot. ]

You're not mad at me, are you?

[by_my_will]

Not mad! Not mad!

Haro... [Tieria shook his head and picked the blue one up instead.] It is alright.

[Having had the two of them for a while, Tieria was able to find out just how much they knew about home. It was limited information on Celestial Being, so he wasn't quite so upset about them wandering about and talking to people.

Or "living" with other people. If N wanted to take the blue one back again, Tieria didn't mind.]

N! N! [It flapped at him and then went over to see him.]

[singularjustice]

[ N laughed then, catching the Haro in his free arm. ]

I am glad to see you again! All of you!

[by_my_will]

Where have you been?

[The two Haros flapped happily at the attention from N.]

[singularjustice]

...is it strange to say I do not know?

[ N's smile falters for a moment. ]

I think I went back to Unova. But I don't think any time passed... yet I still feel like I've been gone.

So sorry for my slow! Sakura-Con ate my brain.

[by_my_will]

That is strange. I wonder what it means.

[Tieria looked thoughtful about it for a moment.]

Do you remember traveling at all?
