Glad

"Welcome home Lyra," Arion said as he was about to leave at the same time and she smiled.

'I am home," she replied.

"You are going to get sick in those clothes, go get change and join me when you are done okay?" he asked.

"Sure, I guess," she replied as she rushed off to her room to get changed.

"I wonder what he wants?" Lyra asked herself as she took her clothes off and then changed into her casual clothes, which were a jeans and top.

"Arion..." she called out as she came to the living room in the castle and looked around but saw he was not there.

"Where did he go?" she asked as she kept on looking and bumped into Sylas.

"Ah, sorry," she said as she looked at him and he smiled.

"It's fine, I know you have been living here for years so there is no chance you are lost, what's the matter?" he asked.

"I am looking for Arion, he asked me to meet back with him here and now he is nowhere to be seen, creepy," she responded and someone started laughing then she turned around and saw Arion standing by the front door.

'Why did you trouble her like that?" Sylas asked as Arion walked up to Lyra and looked at her then smiled.

'You are so cute, sorry Lyra, come on let's go," he said.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"We are going to have ice cream, also I have to meet with a friend at the studio, wait a minute this was not right of me to do, do you have plans?" he asked.

"I have to start preparing for the dressing competition," she responded and both of the brothers stared at her in shock.

"You are joining a dressing competition?" Sylas asked.

"Yeah why?" she asked as she downed her head and he sighed in relief.

'That's good, you are growing, is it something you want to do though?" Arion asked and she looked at him as he smiled brightly for they were happy she is doing different things.

"Yes it is," she responded then Arion patted her on the shoulder.

"Just come with me to have ice cream then?" he asked and she smiled.

"Are you trying to get to know your little sister better because your elder brother said you should or because you want to?" Sylas asked and Lyra's eyes widened as she looked at Arion.

"Not because he said so, I want to because she is my little sister, not the same scared kid that came here a long time ago, she has changed and I want to get to know her," he responded.

"I will come along with you, I have time to spear," she said and Sylas smiled as he stared at his siblings smiling face.

"This is what he wanted huh?" he thought.

"I will go with you to the studio too," she said as Arion stared at her.

"Okay, thanks, come on," he said as he walked away.

"Bye," she said and Sylas smiled.

"Take care," he replied as she got into Arion's fancy car and left with him.

Arion noticed her staring at the water drops on the windshield while they were driving.

"Are you still attached to water?" he inquired, and she smiled.

"Yeah, I guess I still do, I guess old habits die hard," she replied.

"It's not a bad habit, but you should be a little more careful," he said.

"Yeah, I know," she admitted. "Are you doing another track today?" she inquired.

"I wrote a new song a few days ago; it's mostly about my childhood with you guys; I'll be releasing it soon; I'll have one more concert before the big one that I invited you to; you can come to this one as well if you want," he replied.

"I'd love to, thank you Arion," she said, smiling.

"With the competition, exams, and graduation following, will you be able to attend the concerts and our parent's party?" He inquired.

"It's your mom's birthday, I'll make time, the term is slowly passing, I'll manage," she replied as they arrived at a circular glass building in a lot and he parked then got out.

"Come on, I would like to introduce you to a few of my friends as well," he said, and she quietly followed him into the building.

"Your highness, you are late," a man said as he approached Arion, then smiled brightly at Lyra.

"Is this your sister?" he asked as he approached Lyra, who drew back.

"Shon, don't make her feel awkward," he advised.

"Ah, sorry your highness, you are really beautiful," the guy said, and she smiled and then thanked him.

"Don't mind him, Lyra; this goofy nerd's name is Shon, and he's my manager," Arion explained.

"Nice meeting you,' she said.

"Likewise, my lady," Shon said as he walked away, and they followed him into the elevator, which took them to the second floor then they got off and Arion took her into his recording room.

"Your highness," the others in the room said as they rose and bowed.

"No need to bow, nice to meet you all," she said, and they all smiled brightly as a girl approached her.

"Your highness, my name is Nila; please let me know if you require anything," she said.

"Thank you, but I don't," she said, and Arion smiled.

"Come on guys, we don't have all day, you can dote on her later, let's get started now," Arion said as he entered the closed-off area within the room, sat on a stool, and placed his mouth by the mike, before smiling.

"I am lucky, even though sometimes I wonder about where I belong, I am glad I have them as siblings, I address his parents as mom and dad, they have been nothing but nice to me even though a few of the other family members are pain," she thought as he began singing and she sat down, closed her eyes and listened.
