"What if, I mean, maybe I should go ahead and tell everyone my story. T-that'll help my condition a lot right?" Asuka stuttered nervously, though I could tell in her eyes that she wanted to do this.

I smiled approvingly, "You should go for it. They'll listen. We all want to help you." With that, we headed back toward the group. I couldn't wait to hear the story, and maybe by telling it, Asuke would come out of her shell a bit. I mean, maybe she'd come to be a bit more outgoing and not as timid.

"Hey, guys," I got everyone's attention as I walked over to Kara to see how she was feeling. "Asuka's got something she wants to tell everyone. It's really important, so you all better pay attention and be quiet. LEt the girl get through this."

I took a seat next Lucy, Sky, and Zero. Asuka sat in front of me as the rest of the group crowded around us. Asuka gave me a nervous glance; I winked, signifying that she could do this and that we would all be here for her. Io glanced at me and I smiled. Asuka could do this.

The suspense was killing me. I hated waiting.
