Forgiveness and Partnership.

"What're you waiting for?" Asked Master Sylvia as her voice came out from near the bottom of the stair-case she had walked down. 

Everyone exchanged glances for a moment until John took the first step forward. 

"If you're afraid, you guys can stay back. You don't have to force yourself to come, I'll be back soon." Said John as he gave them a smile 

He began walking until two voices called out to him. 

"Wait, we're coming." Said Ariel 

"What's the rush? We were just surprised." Said Serena 

Lydia who saw this, also nodded. 

"I'm working for you now, so I'll follow you anywhere." She said with a determined look 

Seeing this, the forced smile John had forced, became slightly less strained and more genuine. 

"Is that so..." John muttered 

He then looked at the three who were heading towards him as he said 

"Haha, my party sure is nosy, not that I mind." John whispered to himself
