"So, Midnight, Onyx." Gil became incredibly serious. His face looked as if he was about to head to war against an enemy he could never beat. "Are you ready to taste the best delicacy of the harvest festival? It comes right from the fields, dried, popped with heat, caramelized with sugar, and dusted with a little salt. It\'s kettle corn and it is only made this time of year.." 

Midnight and Onyx were frozen on the spot where they stood. If they had not been out on the streets someone was sure to have wondered what was wrong. Luckily, they were in their own group pulled away from others. 

"Sister and I would like it all." They did n it beat around the bush. They requested all the kettle corn in the city. 

"All of it? Do you know how much that would be? It would be coming out of your ears! Walker, Midnight, Onyx, and I are heading out to go food hunting. We will see you when we see you." This has been the plan afterall. They were going to split up. It seemed that Gil wanted to have some time to bond with Midnight and Onyx anyway since he didn\'t have a dance partner for the night. 

Lisa was giving Walker serious puppy dog eyes and he knew what it meant, "You can go with Gil if you want. I won\'t stop you. But Gil is responsible for Walking you home later and if he doesn\'t then I will freeze him in a block of ice and push it in to a magma fissure." Walker\'s perfect smile and piercing gaze got Gil to wave in acceptance. 

"Yes! I will make sure I bring some home for you guys too. I love you!" At that Lisa hugged Walker and followed Midnight. She was bravely leading the group of four even though she had no idea where the food she was so set on trying was sold. 

"We are heading to the square now, correct? I have a friend waiting for me." Su was fidgeting a bit which painted the picture for Alice and Walker. She had made plans with her musician friend and she didn\'t want to openly admit it. 

"We can\'t leave your dance partner waiting. Come on!" Walker and Alice grabbed one side of Su each and dragged her toward the square. They were not going to hold Su up from her date that she was excited and obviously embarrassed about. 

"And here, we are!" The smell of fire smoke and the warmth of the bonfires was enough to set the square aside and brighten things up. The crackling of the fire was just barely loud enough to be heard over the sounds of the music and people starting to dance. "Now, go find your musician. I mean friend." Walker smirked when he saw Su reacting so strangely compared to how she would normally act. She was always so calm and cool that when she was flustered it was all too cute. 

"Look." Alice pointed to the far end of the square where some familiar faces were enjoying the music. Su and Gil\'s parents were dancing and sharing drinks with a few other friends. They may have moved in to a mansion but they were not people to forget those that they were friends within the lower tier. It was just another way for all the people to be united. 

"It looks like the whole family will be here soon. I bet we will be way too caught up with everything if we don\'t take the time to ourselves now." Walker extended a hand to Alice and motioned for her to dance with him. "I can\'t promise I can dance very well with a partner but I will do my best." 

The look on Alices\' face said that she was not used to dancing properly as well so they could be fools dancing together to their own beat. With Alice\'s hand in his, Walker moved to the square and started to dance side to side a little enjoying the warmth of the fire and the time they had. "A lot has happened lately. It\'s good to be home." 

"I\'m glad you\'re back" Alice moved closer to Walker. At first, he thought she was making a move in the moment but he saw that she had goosebumps on her arms. His breath showed slightly too. It had gotten fairly cool all of a sudden. 

\' ??? quest- Assist

Requirement:

Dance with the right partner

Reward:

One time use skill.\'

A small breeze drifted through the square and every fire flickered slightly. It was a strange moment and everyone around felt it. However, it was nothing to stop the joy and dancing going on. The sun may have fully set but the festivities were already here and there was nothing to stop anyone. 

Walker had no idea who he was supposed to dance with. As far as he was concerned, Alice was the right person. But the quest that had shown up was not fulfilled. It also was full of missing information only showing the requirement and the reward. He didn\'t know who he had to assist until Alice stopped her movements and appeared sad. She was looking at a certain girl in a blue dress.
