On the next day, 8:15 AM.

“........”

The boy slowly opened his eyes, his body function began to start working again.

Syd Barrett yawned, rubbed his eye gunk out the face, and tried to get up from the Sofa bed. But can't. Because Toshi objected him from doing...

Syd heard the voice of a news reporter on a smart TV, he gazed over the room and found that only Roxxy has already awakened. Jody was not here. The rest was still sleeping.

Syd proceeds to push Toshi out the way, but accidentally, he pushed too hard Toshi fell down the Sofa.

“ Cunt. ”

Toshi's body hit the ground loudly. But that wasn't enough to wake him up.

“........”

Roxxy gazed over the sound her brother just made before gazed back to the TV.

Syd carried Toshi up and put him back on the Sofa properly.

Walking by the TV to wash his face, his ears kept receiving the news...

“ // This morning in Los Angeles, The police department had officially announced they had captured the serial killer of 5 victims. The suspect later confessed he's the Ability user. With the power to turn anything into a liquid, he claimed that he hid the body he killed and the gun he used in a jar storing in a sewer inside the house// ”

[*** The conversation below is spoken in the Thai language. Since, as we know, the siblings are half breed and they usually speak Thai when they're alone***]

“ Using that ability to hide the evidence?... That's smart.”

Said Roxxy.

“ Hmpf.. I could do that.”

Syd said from the toilet.

“ But only just 10 minutes.” The girl bluffed.

“ At least I don't have to keep it under the ability range like this fool.”

Syd grabbed the short towel, wiped his face, walked to Roxxy.

He stood beside her.

“ People is getting crazier these days. ”

Said the girl.

“ It is what it is. We're just lucky we're on top of the pyramid.”

“ Yeah... But honestly, I kinda feel sorry for those who do not have it (The Ability). This world will be pure hell for them...”

“ THAT has nothin' to do with us.”

Syd jumped on the couch, sitting next to her.

“ You're complaining like you don't know Thrak. There's no fuckin' way you can equalize everybody. Those are just fanciful dogma... or maybe politician's speech”

“ uh, Big bro, you're talkin' big, aren't ya?”

“ I dunno. WHO starts all this tho?”

He then proceeds to throw the towel on her head before began rubbing it over and over.

“ What the hell, Bro. Stop! ”

Roxxy tried breaking out, she's giggling because Syd knew her ticklish spot. It's around her neck.

“ Then say ‘ I apologize for dissing you’ ”

“ In hell, Dumb ass.”

Roxxy tried pressing her laugh, pushing him out, but couldn't help.

“ Syd! Stop. I'm gonna fall down the couch.”

“ Oh... Right.”

“ *Panting* --”

“ but I don't fucking care.”

“ Wha-? AAAAAA---- Syd! You'll shred mama's amulet!”

“......”

He stopped.

Roxxy raised back up, sitting straight.

“ Yet again, the amulet's protected me from the threat.”

“ It only protects you 'cuz it's mamas. Ain't no supernatural shit.”

“ Also counts.”

“ Ey, You have another ticklish spot under your feet, I remember.”

“ I'll fuckin' freeze you before you do that.”

Roxxy put the towel away.

“ No, don't. It's already cold enough in here. I'm not white people, I'm not immune to anything below 15 degrees Celcius *yawns* ”

Though he said that, he still has white blood inside his body...and another half is Asian.

Roxxy shook the head. Adjusting the amulet to make sure it's ok... Before she turned her face over the door and realized Jody Johanson was already standing there with the textbook.

“ ! ”

Which raised her embarrassment so high she changed her facial expression because she does not prefer someone to see this side of hers. She knew both Toshi and Sera were heavy sleepers. If not interfere with them, they'll get up on 11 at the least.

This side she wants to show only to her family...

“ uh...”

Hearing Roxxy's unnerving voice, Syd turned over and saw Jody too.

“ Lovely family. Even though I didn't understand a single word.”

Said the American, she stepped inside.

“ What the hell, I thought you said you'd go to gym.”

Said Roxxy, switching back to English.

“ Yeah. But after I finished reading this.”

Jody showed them the textbook of aerodynamic.

“ Hey. You didn't tell me that!”

“ Don't worry.” she said, “Nothing is embarrassing about that.”

As if she read her mind.

“ I often do that with Joel (Jody's sister) when we're kids...”

A bit of sadness in Jody's voice.

“ *Yawns* I was gonna say that. Looks like this cracker predicts what Imma 'bout to-MmMm”

Jody used her 2 fingers acting as a pincer to zip his mouth shut.

“ MmM-- Get yo hand outta me! The fuck... ไอฝรั่งเหี้ยนี่...”

“ What was that?”

“... What?”

“... The last one. What was that?”

Her soothing voice made the boy uncomfortable.

“ What was that What?”

The boy still acted like nothing happened. Which he aimed just to make Jody mad.

But the result still the same as she always did before. Syd cannot make her mad. On the opposite, Jody grins like she was having fun.

“ The last word you said... It wasn't English. I thought I heard the word ‘Farang’ ... You're cursing something at me? That's very bad. I'll be sad you know? ”

“ Go find out yourself! ไอฝรั่งหน้าส้นตีน ”

“ What did he say?”

“ He said “This fucking farang.”... And the other one was “This foot face farang.”... Which has the same meaning as fuck face.”

“ AYO, Why you tell her, man??????? AAAAAAA---”

Jody rubbed on his head, another hand pressing his shoulder down. Basically did what he did to Roxxy.

“ Just wait for the time I learn your language.”

“ Learn the language that has one of the most complicated writing system and pronunciation? I don't think so-”

Jody released him and sat next beside the boy.

“ Anyway. I have something I'm not quite sure I truly understand in Aerodynamics. I wonder if you could help me out.”

Jody put the textbook down on the table.

“ Fuck you, help yourself.”

“ Can you help me out?”

“ I'm busy right now. Like for real.”

“ You ain't doing anything. Can you help me out?”

“ Yeah. I'm busy. I'm watching a new episode of dragonballsuper.”

“ Wait? Ain't it suppose to be power rangers? Like that time...”

The boy quickly lifted up index finger between him and Jody. A sign that inform Jody to shut the fuck up and don't say a thing.

But too late...

“ Power rangers?” The youngest girl repeated, “ Big bro, You said you quite that thing long time ago.”

“ Yes. I quite that long ago. That's what I'm sayin'. This cripple is talkin' pure bullshit, man. ”

“......”

“ No. No you don't.” Roxxy Barrett accepted the fact and looked a bit dissappointed. Which is intended to fool with her brother.

“......”

“ Aight. I'm out.”

Syd Barrett stood up and walked away, but Jody pulled him back.

“ Or maybe we'll forget everything if you help me out? What do you think?”

Jody asked gently.

Seeing her brother acted different does put a grin on Roxxy's face.

“ das how you beg for help? ”

“ I didn't beg. Just...ask.”

“ Aight. G. I'm out.”

“ Just kidding, Syd. Come back.”

Jody pulled his red shirt.

“ Why don't ask others why me?”

“ I just wanted to learn with the great grand master. That's all.”

Jody grins.

“ *Sigh* Bitch ass, bull shit. WHERE?”

“ aaaw. Thank you very much.”

“ Make it quick. oi-! ”

Syd saw Roxxy about to walk away, he paused her from doing, said to her in thai.

“ Tell nobody about this shit”

“.....”

Roxxy didn't reply, she made a troll face at him then left.

He can hear her saying “Dumb ass” over and over again even without opening a mouth and that's damn hell aggravating.

.

.

1 hour later…

.

.

“ Alright... I kinda get it a little more... Thanks, Syd.”

She closed the book.

“ A little more? Maybe you suck.”

Syd stood up and jumped over the couch.

“ *Yawns*... I never know you wear glasses.”

“ Only when I spend a long time using my eyes.”

Jody took the glasses off.

“ Let's go to the gym. I see this place has it under this floor.”

Jody asked him out.

“ Wha? Yeah, we have it but Why me?”

Syd seemed too lazy to go out.

“ Because you're the only one available to ask out.”

“......”

Syd gazed over the room and realized the girl was right.

“ I'm too lazy. You go. I'm gonna watch Broly beats Goku's ass, man.”

“ I'm not familiar with anyone here. It's uncomfortable to go there alone.”

“.......”

(... Huh... She has a solid point here...)

“ Don't you worry if anything will happen to me?”

“ Bullshit. Jody. You're a fuckin' Elementalist. What they gonna do? It is they that Should be afraid of you. Motherfuckers even already know the new Elementalist is legit... Damn woman. The fuck.”

“ Come on. Let's go.”

“ FUCKING. CUNT.”

He got dragged along anyway...

.

.

.

.

.

At the gym, lower floor, arrived by elevator. Surrounding by many exercise facilities, Syd Barrett in his casual red clothes from last night, wearing cheap exercise shoes, waiting for Jody.

There're also others with them too. They all agents and staff minding their own business in the background.

“ Why the fuck wouldn't I say no...”

He questioned himself.

“ Come on, Syd.”

Jody came up behind from the locker room, tapping his back. She gazed over the place and noticed that they both are the center of focus from everyone here, however, people tended to leave a space for them. Although it wasn't obvious, she felt that people here are intimidated by a person she brought along.

“ Do whatever you want. I'll wait here.”

“ Oh please. You're already coming this far. Come on. Let's work out. I don't want to be alone.”

“ Like yourself 2 years ago?”

“ Ouch. That hurts.”

Jody then proceeds to pull down the outer coat zip, showing the blue sports top, revealing her shoulder which has a little bit of muscle structure showing that she did exercise this part of her body well and nice shape belly which can easily attracts all eyes around there even Syd Barrett.

“.......”

The boy went stunned for a second.

“ What? Are you amazed with my body or? ”

“ It's just the instinct.”

Syd gazed away.

“ Oh, it really is.”

“ Yeah. So as the instinct to snap your legs too.”

*Chuckles*

“ Do you often exercise?”

Jody asked while she went for a dumbbell, began to work with it.

“ Working as an agent always using a body. No need.”

“ So. No then.”

“ then What?”

“ Well. I just wanna say you should go work out. It's addictive and will make you feel good. And it's benefiting.”

“ First, you conquer my fridge. Then you force me to be Vegan. Then you're draggin' me out for fitness? What the hell. Jody you so British you're colonizing my life. ”

“ I ain't taking over your fridge. And I just advised you to eat more veggies. I bring you out because I rarely see you exercise. That's all.”

Jody changed the dumbbell to another hand, continued working out.

“ If you tell anyone like that, they'd think I'm a manipulative girlfriend. You know?”

“ Bitch ass, Bullshit. I never let someone like you be my partner.”

“ Shhh...”

Jody used her 2 fingers as a pincer, shutting his mouth again.

“ You're cuter when you swear less. You know that?”

“ FUCK you.”

Syd flashed the middle finger, walked over to the bar, and worked out. He pulled up and down like it's so normal to him that he showed no sign of tiring.

“ Oh. You can pull up a lot.”

Said the girl.

“ Of course.”

“........”

Syd jumped down, twisted his body to left and right.

“ Your turn.”

“.......”

Syd found it surprising that Jody could also do many pull up like him. She remains no exhaust regardless of how many sets she pulled up.

“ Wow. Impressive for a civilian... You do pull up a lot? ”

“ Yes. Since I'm...a ‘Cripple’, I mainly using my arms in daily life. So I need it strong.”

She intended to heavy the word Cripple. The word Syd always brings up to insult Jody, to make her mad but fails regularly.

The girl even flexed him a muscle. It's not big and obvious, but still an observable figure of pre-shape muscle.

“ Agh. Stop flexing.” said the boy.

Jody slowly released herself down the floor.

“ I wanna do a running track over there. Can you use your power to swap my legs with this... dumbbell?”

“ I wonder what you can do in life without me.”

“ Well, plenty... Of the activity that requires no legs.”

“ I won't argue with that. Lmao.”

“ Aww. You're making fun of me. I think I should record a voice clip and put it on Twitter.”

“ So that I'll suffer from a cyber-depression like you did? Hell no.”

The boy and the girl interact while he's swapping the property of her legs and dumbbell.

“ Ten minutes. Tell me if it's time out. Alright.”

“ Yes.”

Seeing the evil grin, Jody knew what he's planning to do.

“ Syd. Don't ever think of not telling me the time so that I'll break my legs.”

“ Wha-? I ain't thinking of that.”

“ Ok. Good. I trust you. Good boy.”

The boy got rubbed in the head without realizing it.

“ Fucking. Stop. Shit.”

“ 10 minutes per set. We'll do four.”

“ “We”? Whaaa?? You run yourself!”

Realizing himself again, Syd was on the running track next to her.

*Beep*

“ Just fucking go.”

- 40 minutes later -

“ Phew. It always refreshing after exercise, ain't it? ”

“ Yeah, yeah. Whatever.”

Syd panted lesser than Jody because his body was used to this kind of thing. But overall, we can say that both are tired.

“ Enough? Satisfy? ”

“ What? You're tired, big boy?”

“ Lesser than you, Lizard.”

Jody chuckled and brought a water bottle, drank it, and handed it over to Syd.

“ Naw.Naw. naw... I don't want to drink from the same bottle as you.”

“ Why not?”

“ I dunno... I despise cracker, I guess?”

“ For real.”

“ I think a boy and girl shouldn't drink from the same ... bottle where our lips touch... You know...that's kinda...”

“ Kinda what?”

“ You know what I mean.”

“ No, I don't~ ”

“ Fucking weak ass cracker. You definitely know what I mean.”

“ Then what? just that silly reason? Go on I don't mind. Water is very important to the body.”

Jody still insisted.

“... Yeah... You're right...it's 2019 anyway...”

The boy took it from her and drank it.

Suddenly, Jody felt immense terrifying energy coming from behind her. Like someone was menacingly staring at her with vengeance. But as Jody turned around, She found nothing...

(..........)

“ Syd... I have something very important I have to tell you...”

“ What?”

“ Remember that time I broke your bedroom door at night?”

“ Yes. I'll charge you weak ass. Don't even think of not paying it.”

“ That's not the point...”

“ Then what?”

“ Remember the red hair lady I told you? ”

As she mentioned about the ‘Red hair’ lady. There's a slight change on his face that she didn't catch.

“.......”

“ I see her again. But this time was here. Last night. Not just only me. But also Sera too.”

“! ”

“.... I don't think it's my hallucination anymore. Sera SAW it. And she can describe literally as what I see. So... Syd, Do you have ANY idea what exactly is that? ”

“......”

“ I don't know... I never see it.”

“ Really? ”

“ Yeah.”

“.......”

*Intensive glares*

.

.

.

.

.

Roxxy Barrett went back to her room because she has been called, she found that someone is holding an expensive suitcase, standing in front of her room. Roxxy knew by the uniform he's wearing. He's one from the public relation. Which is the unit formed up to back up and assist the Thrak's agents.

“....”

The man spotted her coming. He knew that she was the one he had to deliver this suitcase to.

“ Ice Cube. ”

“ Yes.”

“ You have a parcel delivered this morning.”

He put it down in front of her room.

“ Whose?”

“ Miss Anong.”

“! ”

“... Alright. Thanks.”

The man smiled at her, he nodded and walked away.

“.....”

After deciding the size of it. She thought it won't be troublesome to fit in there...So She decided to carry the suitcase back to the patient ward.

*Door swings open*

In the room, She saw that Sera and was already awake. But she still looks sleepy. Maybe she ‘just’ awake.

“ You're a heavy sleeper.”

“.......”

*rubbing her eyes*

“ 11 ?... *Yawns* ... Heavy my arse...”

“ Well...to my standard, it is.”

“ Don't care.”

The British girl stretched wildly, yawned, her hair is messy but the weird thing was the make-up was still fine.

“ Yo, you're wearing make-up even asleep???? ”

“ You'll never see me without it on. Never.”

Roxxy just realized... She had already memorized Sera as someone who has strong black make-up...she can no longer remember how's her original face... Wait... Hey, She's NEVER seen it since she knew Sera.

“ Wait a second... I never see your bare face before.

“ And you never will.”

“ Come on, mate. Why is it so much concern?”

“ You'll understand when you turn 18.”

“ Don't talk like you're older than me. 2 years? Doesn't count.”

“ Whatever...”

“ If you keep wearing it all the time, they (The boys) will continue making fun of you though...”

“ I don't care about these monkies. Their voice means nothing to me.”

“Yeh, yeh... Don't let me see you gettin' triggered then.”

Sera saw the girl carrying a suitcase in, she questioned.

“ What's that? ”

“ It's from mamas.”

Sera showed curiosity towards it.

“ What's innit? ”

“ Snacks.”

*Door swings open again*

Appeared Jody Johanson coming back from a workout. She had a towel hanging on the shoulder.

“ Where had you been!? ”

Asked Sera.

“ Gym.”

“ There's a Gym in here??? ”

“ Where's Syd?”

“ He'll be following up. He said he's gonna text Denji about Mickey's condition.”

“ Oh...”

Jody sat on a couch on their opposite side, facing them. She seemed curious about the suitcase too.

“ You're gonna open it or what?”

“ What the fuck, Sera. It's not even yours...”

“ Jeez, I'm not gonna steal your stuff.”

“ Not mine. It's for Me and Bro.”

Sigh...

But she opened it anyway.

*Click* *Click* *Click* [Unboxing sound]

Inside, there're many packages of snacks to enjoy that both Sera and Jody haven't seen before. They're so many colors and some they didn't recognize what it was.

“ Your mother sends this to you like every week?”

“ ...Month”

Roxxy corrected the Blonde girl.

“ It's like you're studying abroad. You know, people back in your hometown send this so you wouldn't feel like home's far away...”

Roxxy explained.

“ Yeah. I understand.”

“.......”

“... What are you smiling at, Jody?”

“ I just thought your mommy is cute. You know she even sends her kid's snacks... Mine never does that...”

“ Well, I can share it with all of you. There're lots of Australian and Thai snacks here.”

Sera eyes spotted something in the case,

“ There's a note.”

She pointed out.

“.....”

Roxxy picked it up, turns out there're three notes.

“ Huh... Strange...mom usually don't do this...” said the girl.

“ She texts instead?”

Asked Sera.

“ No. She does nothing. Just sending it to us...”

“ Hey...wait...”

Carefully considering each note, they spotted that there's a text written on each note.

{ To Jody Johanson }

“ ! ”

“ It's for me...” said Jody.

“ Yeah...it seems...”

Roxxy handed that note over to the American.

The other one has it too.

{ To Seraphina Gilmour }

“ Sera... This one's for you...”

Roxxy handed it over to The British... Both girls now holding a note that contained the message from Ms.Barrett...

It was so unnerving. To be honest.

“.......”

Sera quickly folded it open.

Dear Seraphina Gilmour.

I have been aware of the fact that my son, Syd Barrett, had brought you into this operation he's been appointed. And I also acknowledged that you do a load of goods and play the most important part of the team such as healing the injuries of my son, my daughter, and his allies after they may or may not encounter the enemies out there. I have received information about your ability and everything. Please keep yourself reminded that their lives are in your hand. I'm sincerely thankful for your cooperation whether it's against your will or not.

I will not forget what I owned you.

In the future, If we have an opportunity to make a contract with the “Gilmour” family, I insured with my name you'd received the best proposal that many business partners are killed for it, I make my pledge.

Best regards,

Anong (Toyah) Barrett.

“... She knows my family? Huh...It seems she likes me... ”

Said Sera.

“ What did it say? ”

Roxxy took a peek at the note.

Sera handed it to Roxxy then gazed at Jody, however, the American didn't look good at all...

“ ? ”

The British girl peeked on the note in Jody's hand.

To Jody Johanson.

I do believe gibberish is unnecessary for you. So I'll get to the point right ahead.

I have been reported that my son had intentionally chosen you to join the mission in London in exchange that he'll teach you his swapping technique. And the fact that you are “ The Wind ” and the second Elementalist that has been discovered. Whether it's the fate that draws you to my son or not, right now you are Thrak's people. You are one of his kind. Many eyes have been watching you. And I know every move you made so as your history record which helps me catch a glimpse of your psychological background. With all my respect, I acknowledge your potential. But your eagerness is something that you should be aware of. I do not have anything to say about what you and lady Gilmour are currently performing behind my children. But I do believe we both know what we're discussing on this point. And I also believe that instead of retreat, you will continue to move forward with a swelled eagerness more than before. Your curiosity is colossal, however it may bring uncomfortably to my daughter especially the subject she is unwilling to discuss. You and lady Gilmour are her first girlfriends she ever has.

I understand that someone with a mysterious background appeared to hook your inquisitive, but one should have a line that they shouldn't cross.

The one last thing I have to say is, Regardless of your ability upgrading, regardless of whatever people named you, there are so many people out there who know tricks and have higher experience than you. Please carefully lookout for your overconfidence and destroy it before it destroys you. Both of you.

Thank you for assisting my son and daughter and their allies. It would be harder for them without you. I have been called, We all have been called. We'll soon meet in person.

Best regards,

Anong (Toyah) Barrett.

Sera's face turned out to be not good after she read the message.

It impacted both, but Jody the most.

“ Jody...? Sera...? What does my mom say? ”

“....She-”

Jody paused the British,

“ She said she's thankful.”

“ Oh... I see...”

Jody folded it and kept the note with her. Sera then realized that the second note wasn't just for Jody. But it's for both of them.

The note Sera received was just a surface of the iceberg. But this...this one with Jody is the real thing here...

Both knew by the look in the eyes of each other.

(...She's warning us...in many ways )

“ If I remember correctly... The internet just said your mother's an ex-miss universe right? What is she doing now?”

“ She's the CEO of that business written on the internet.”

“ How about your dad? I know you've told me they're no longer with each other now...but isn't he's the one forming the organization?”

“ It's a long story... But let just said the real leader is my mom. Okay?”

“ Alright...fine...”

Sera scratched her head.

“ What that note said?”

Jody pointed to the last note in Roxxy's hand.

“ Nothing much...”

“.....”

“ Mind if...? ”

“ Yeah. Sure...”

On Roxxy hand, it may be the shortest note. Because there're only one sentence was written.

{ Tell your brother to eat more veggies.}

That's it.

The timing was perfect. Because the time they finished reading the sentence was the same when Syd Barrett in a new outfit swung the door open and spot the familiar suitcase on the round table. He immediately knew that it was what his mom used to send to him.

“ YOOOO! What the fuck, YOOOOO!!”

Syd rushed towards them.

“ Mom sent us a new set of snacks.”

Syd quickly checked inside the suitcase, found bunches of his favorite snacks to enjoy. Sera was standing beside him...and she saw something familiar were placed inside it.

“ Hey, excuse me. But...is that... Strawberry milk?”

Asked Sera.

“... Yeah. you got a problem? ”

Syd replied as if he knew the girl must have something in her mind, something that he doesn't like, “ I don't wanna share this with you. Go away. Go away.”

“ Come on, Syd. It's not like we can finish all this by ourselves. We can share. This time mother sent more than usual. She definitely expects us to share it with them.”

Said Roxxy.

“ It's a kid's milk why should I ?”

Sera said that without knowing it. She said without knowing that it triggered Syd.

“ Say What BITCH? Tell me what you drink then? Those fat ass-high calories ass-expensive tasteless little ass Starbucks?”

“ WHAT! HEY, Why are you mad?! WHAT DID YOU SAY???? Hey! At least I'm not a kid trapped in an 18-year-old like you! Fucking grow up! ”

Those two started fighting.

“ Yeah right. So you basically admit that you once got outsmarted by a kid and that kid almost burnt you to crisp? Huh, bitch? ”

“.......”

Sera couldn't argue with that.

“ Fuck you. Dick head!”

Sera lifted a middle finger.

“ You WHAT? CAN'T FIGHT BACK HUH, FAT BITCH? ”

*** GASP ***

Sera was totally shocked.

If the word “ You're like a kid” is a great detonator to Syd Barrett's bomb. The equivalent to Seraphina Gilmour is being called “Fat”.

“ YOU CUNT ! ”

Sera knew she couldn't fight a trained force like him, but being called “Fat" by this kind of creature is also unacceptable. She didn't think. Her body reacted out of instinct. Sera pulled his collar and about to punch him, while the boy also guarded up and about to counter-attack...

“ Hey. Hey.”

Palms being tapped on both's shoulders.

It was Jody.

Somehow, as she speaks, her gentle charisma had brought those two to cool down in a sudden.

“ Hey. Look. You both need to be cool, alright? Sera.”

“ ..... What? ”

“ See, my boy here, ” Jody double-tapped on Syd's shoulder,

“ He likes strawberry milk so much that he can die for it. I was at his house, I've seen it. Sera. It's no joke. And I was the one who always bought them for him. Every day after school. You wouldn't be pleased if someone comes up and insulted your favorite drinks, would you?”

“ THIS BITCH WON'T LISTE-”

“ Sh.”

“........”

“ Syd. Let me talk.”

Jody continued with Sera.

“.... But I just said it's a kid's drink?? What's wrong with it??? He out of nowhere mad at me! ”

“ Sera. Sera. Calm down...”

“.......”

“ That's the point. You said it's a kid's drink. That's why he's angry. Because strawberry milk ain't for just a kid. I also like strawberry milk because I drank it with him too. And Syd hates to be called ‘Kid'. You remember? ”

“ Oh...”

Sera had completely forgot that time Mickey told her how much Syd Barrett abhor being called ‘kid’

“ YOU WHAT? Bitch?? ”

“ Hey, Syd. Calm down.”

Jody said,

“ We all have sensitive spots, do we? Sera. Why do you start a fight?”

“ Lemme guess... He called you fat?”

Roxxy took a guess. And she's right.

Sera was shy to admit, she nodded instead.

This time Jody turned back to Syd Barrett,

“ Syd. Do you know calling a girl ‘Fat’ is the last thing you should do? ”

“ Then what? bitch deserved it.”

“ Stop calling Sera bitch. Syd, That's not cool at all. That ain't something a mature would do. You're mature, yes or no? ”

“ Yeah. I fucking am. ”

“ Yes. Yes, you are. Sera just didn't know you're sensitive with the word ‘kid’. Why wouldn't you give her a chance?”

“.......”

“ Syd. This girl right here is the same person who saved Mickey's life. Don't you remember? ”

“......”

“ Do you really want to fight with someone who is the most important member of the team? ”

“........”

“ Look. Both of you. I understand your mood is not stable right now... Because of the current situation. We all are nervous about Mickey... But we shouldn't throw this at each other. Don't you two agree? ”

“.......”

“ Can you promise you wouldn't get mad at her calling you ‘kid’ like this time again? Syd. She is one of our friends. If she were someone who we don't know, hell I would join you clapping on her. But it's not, isn't it? ”

“ .......”

“ Sera... These boys may often roast you. But they did it with no threat, surely I think they all just lonely and excited to have a friend who is a girl. That's all.”

Jody then rubbed on both shoulders.

“ Even though British and Aussies are located on the different parts of the globe, at least you two have the same queen. Now I want you two to apologize. Sera, you go first.”

“ What?!....”

Sera was embarrassed, “ why me? ”

“ Because you are the first one call him ‘Kid’...”

“ Wha-??? That's-”

“ (**Whisper to Sera's ear**) Actually Syd was shyer than you. he would prefer getting a bullet in the head than doing this. Please, Sera.”

“..... Shit... Damn...”

Sera gazed on the ground, this is pretty akward.

“ Alright. ALRIGHT. I'm sorry...”

What??? Didn't quite hear ya???

That was the sentence Syd had planned to say, he grinned... Then he started saying...

“ Wh-------”

Syd Barrett instantly get squeezed on the cheek by Jody, zipping his mouth before he actually said it.

Seemed like the American knows what he's about to say. Her eyes were telling him that whatever was on his mind, vanish them away.

“.... Fuck...-Tch ”

Syd walked back. He's like he's having a very hard time pressing something down. He clenched a fist tightly.

“ I.... (Fist Clenching) Accept....”

He pointed at her face, looking away,

“ Your Apology....”

He bit his lips hard.

“ Hehe, Good. Good boy. That's what grown man do.”

Jody pats his head. Syd moved his head away from her.

“ Now your turn. Say it to her.”

“ What?? I thought this has already ended."

“ No. No. You need to apologize to her too. Because you're going mad without realizing she didn't know. You even call her fat.”

“ Jody stop mention that word please”

Said Sera.

“ Right. Whatever. Can you do it? Just say. Sera... I'm sorry. It's not hard.”

“.....grrrr.....”

“ gggggrrrrrrrrr.......”

“ Syd? Oh my... You can't do it? oh..that's very sad-”

“FUCK! I'm SORRY! I'm SORRY!!!!! ”

“ Too aggressive. Say it again.”

“ No. Fucking. Way.”

“ Okay. You're not a man, Then.”

“ Ugh....”

“.......”

“ I'm sorry. For calling you... FAT bitch.”

He looked so broken at this point. Because in his life, he never has to be a person who said he's sorry. And it's very prestige tearing.

“... O...Okay...”

“ See? You can do it! Very very good boy.”

“ Hey! Don't fucking touch my hair! Fucking cracker! ”

“ Hehe...”

“ I'm done! Fuck! ”

With embarrassment, Syd Barrett took a gallon of strawberry milk out of the suitcase and about to walk to the sofa to enjoy it alone, Jody quickly pulled him back.

“ Wait, Syd.”

“ WHAT????”

“ Don't forget to eat more veggies.”

“ The fuck??? You're forcing ME. TO BE A FUCKING VEGAN AGAIN??? . FUCK YOU American shit! I HATE Americans. FUCK YOU! I'LL NEVER EAT YOUR SALAD AGAIN. GO FUCK YOURSELF.”

“ Yo. Calm down.This time I didn't say it.”

“ WHAT?”

“ Here. It's your mom's note ”

Jody handed a note over to Syd Barrett.

“.......”

“..............”

“ So this is a weird coincidence. Just as I thought. You are veggies hater.”

“ SO AS fucking Americans. This must be fake. Mom never left notes. You're fucking bullshit.”

“ Big bro.” Roxxy said, “ It's actually mama's note.”

Syd couldn't believe it... but it happened. Roxxy nerver speaks bullshit.

“........”
