Lyle's POV I was currently sitting on the sofa watching the TV, when I heard the doorbell rang. I quickly got up to open the door, and I was shocked to see the Luna. Rose Thorne, with her long black hair that reached her waist and deep brown eyes that exuded kindness. But what captured my attention was Adrian's head who was shaved clean. Courtesy of his mom I presume. "Lyle!! Honey, you look much much cuter with your new hairstyle!" Luna Rose exclaimed giddyly while pinching my cheeks. "I don't think the same can be said for me." Muttered Adrian under his breath. I quickly invited them inside and told them to make their self at home. "Mom! The Luna is here for a visit!" I called out to her from the living room. Only a matter of seconds, my Mom came running downstairs from Her and Dad's room. When she saw the Luna, she engulfed her in a hug and then vowed her head in submission. Mom and Rose are close since Both their husbands are best friends. "What brings you here Luna?" She wondered. Luna made a "psh" sound and made a dismissive motion with her hand. "I told you many many times Carla, call me Rose. We're close enough to address each other with our names." Luna insisted to Mom, who cackled. "Of course, Rose." She gave Luna a genuine smile before leading them to the living room and invited them to sit down. "We came here because Adrian has something to say, Right son?" Luna turned to Adrian giving him a pointed look that says 'apologize now or else I'll remove your eyebrows next'. He walked towards me and I instinctively wrapped my arms around myself and wiggled deeper in my seat. He frowned and I briefly saw a flash of hurt in his eyes or else my mind is playing games with me.  "I um...I-I... I'm sorry." He apologized awkwardly while scratching the back of his neck. I averted my eyes from his gaze and refused to look at him. I mean, he's always bullying me since we were little. There was a heavy tension in the air, followed by uncomfortable silence. "No." I huffed and whipped my head to the side. I folded my arms across my chest and pouted my lips to let him know that I'm angry. He grunted and took a step towards me. He grabbed both sides of my face to make me look at him. I was shocked by his actions and thought he was angry. I closed my eyes expecting a punch but then I felt soft, wet lips against mine that sent sparks throughout my body. I pulled away and looked at him in shock and utter embarrassment. I was sure I looked like a tomato with how red my face and ears were. "W-Wh...Wh-...Wha-Why?!" I stuttered, unable to form words at the moment. He looked at me curiously and c****d his head to the side. "There, Now we've made up!" He grinned at me triumphantly before I looked at Mom and Luna who were both surprised. "A-Are y-you Crazy?!" I shrieked at him while putting my hands to my heated cheeks. I could practically hear my heart beating loudly against my chest. "Um no? I saw Dad do that when he made Mom angry. After that they were back to normal and were all lovey dovey." He said nonchalantly. After that, I heard Mom laughed and Luna said "Oh boy" before she face-palmed herself in embarrassment. "You are such an i***t!" I got up from my seat and ran upstairs, but before I reached my room I heard Adrian asked his mom, "Did I do it wrong?" He asked and both of our Moms just laughed louder at his question. "Oh my God" I whispered against my breath and sunk myself deeper into the sheets. After a couple of minutes I willed myself to sleep. ~~~ When the sun peeked through my window, I stretched my limbs and got up. Events from the other day played inside my mind and my cheeks began to turn red but I pushed those thoughts aside and shook my head. I got up and made my way to the kitchen. I was greeted by the smell of eggs, bacon, ham, and sausage. When I reached the kitchen, my whole family was seated already. Sensing my presence, they all turned their heads towards me and gave me warm smiles. "Good morning, honey." Mom greeted me and kissed the top of my head, followed by a series of 'Good Morning' from the rest. "Good morning." I replied to all of them, giving each a hug before I sat down in my seat. Dad gave me a plate full of food and I thanked him before eating it. We were all pretty silent when we were eating, making me wonder if something was wrong. Mom decided to break the ice and spoke up. "Lyle, how would you like to go to Italy? Hm?" She offered out of the blue. "We're going to Italy?! That's so cool!" I answered enthusiastically, jumping in my seat. "But, it will only be you and Mommy." She smiled sadly, making me halt my excitement. "Dad, Dustin, Jake and Xavier won't be coming with us?" I asked her looking puzzled. She shook her head slowly and heaved out a sigh. "No honey, they'll stay here to take care of the pack, so that bad guys won't go in. Mommy needs to handle our business in Italy remember? So I want you to go with me." She coaxed while combing my hair with her fingers. "When will we go back Mom? How long will we be there?" I inquired while looking at her eyes. "Hmm, I don't know for sure honey, but we will be back during Thanksgiving and the holidays to spend some time with your Dad and Older brothers." She reassured me. I turned my head towards Dad and my Older brothers who smiled at me, and nodded their heads in understanding. "It's okay pup, we can always video chat each other to keep in touch. Besides who's gonna protect Mom if she's alone right? So she's going to rely on you." Dad encouraged me and ruffled my hair. "You're also going to come back during Thanksgiving and the Holidays so you better bring us presents all right?" Dustin reminded me and poked my sides causing me to giggle. "Yeah! You better! Because we're gonna work really hard to become warriors!" Jake exclaimed and Xavier nodded in agreement. "Okay! Okay! I will! I will bring you guys tons of presents!" I told them while making big gestures in my hands. "We'll leave tomorrow, so that you can pack your toys and say goodbye to your friends." Mom added and my eyes widened as I thought of what I will say to them. "Can I go see them now? I need to tell them everything." I impatiently told Mom. "Don't worry, the Alpha and Luna already informed them that we are to leave tomorrow. Go spend time with them." I quickly ran out of the house after hearing her words and went straight to our favorite spot, the tree beside the river. We spend most of our time hanging out there and goofing around. As I neared the river, I saw Malcolm and Chelsea sitting on the tire swings we made. As soon as they saw me they stood up and called out to me. "Lyle!!" They shouted in unison. When I reached them I quickly gathered my breath and heavily panted. "Is it true you're going away tomorrow?" Chelsea asked me, her voice small and filled with sorrow. "Yeah, Mom and I will leave tomorrow morning." I replied and gave her a sad smile. "When will you be back?" Malcolm asked. I looked at him and I was met with hopeful but sad eyes. "Mom said she doesn't know how long we'll stay there but, we're going to come visit during Thanksgiving and the holidays." I explained to him, giving them reassurance. "We're going to miss you so so so so much Lyle." Chelsea's eyes began to water and she hugged me bawling her eyes out. I also began to cry and next thing we know, we were all huddled up beside the tree, crying. "How about we spend the rest of the day having fun, rather than wasting our time here crying." Malcolm joked, making us giggle and nod in agreement. "Let's go play!!" Chelsea chirped happily. We went to the playground and spent some time playing in the water. By the time we were finished, the sun was already beginning to set. We lay there on the Riverside in silence, enjoying the sunset, and each other's company. "I guess it's gonna be a long time before we get to play here again." Malcolm said while stroking my hair. "Yeah, but I'm still gonna come back though." I muttered softly while closing my eyes to enjoy the breeze. "But it won't be the same when you're gone. We're gonna miss you." He pointed out. "Hhmm" I hummed at his statement knowing he's right because that's exactly how I'll feel when we go to Italy. "You better bring us souvenirs! Because if you don't, we won't talk to you again!" Chelsea immediately spouted. "What is up with you guys and presents?" I mused, to lighten up the mood. "It's about to get dark now, we should head back." Malcolm reminded us and we stood up from the ground. After a few moments of struggle between ourselves, we started to head home. "Bye guys! I'll see you tomorrow before we leave!" I waved at them from a distance which they returned. While I was walking back home, I enjoyed the quiet and beautiful scenery surrounding me. Until, "WWWAAAHHHHH!!" Adrian decided to scare the life out of me. My heart almost stopped beating due to my shock. Adrian just laughed hysterically at me and I scowled at him. "Man! You should have seen your face! HAHAHAHAHA!" He burst through another fit of laughter. "Why are you here Adrian?" I questioned him while raising one brow. "Well..... They said you'll be leaving so, I got you a goodbye present. Here." He handed me a box, and I just looked at it suspiciously. "Oh come on, just open it. It's also a peace offering!" He exclaimed while flashing his white teeth. I carefully took the box from his hand. 'Maybe he can really be kind sometimes.' I thought to myself before I opened the box. It proved me wrong. "AAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!" I squealed when the frog leaped outside the box and into my hair. I screamed hysterically and quickly shrugged it off my body vigorously. Then, I turned to Adrian who was literally on the ground, holding his tummy and dying out of laughter. I growled at him and stepped on his stomach, causing him to choke before running off. 'I swear! He doesn't have one good bone inside of his evil body!' I seethed at the thought of him. When I got to the house, dinner was already prepared so we all ate and chattered, making it more enjoyable. After I finished eating, I quickly went into my room and packed all the things I needed to bring tomorrow. 2 whole hours have passed and I'm done picking out and packing my favorite toys. I was tired so I showered and went to bed, letting sleep consume me. --- We were already at the airport together with my whole family and the Thornes, to bid goodbye to each other. "You take care there buddy." Dad said to me and ruffled my hair. My eyes began to water, and I quickly engulfed him and each of my older brothers in a hug. They all told me they'll keep in touch so I don't need to worry. Dad pulled Mom in a hug and kissed her forehead. She then, gave all my older brothers a kiss on the head. "I'm gonna miss you so so much Cutie!!" Luna Rose fussed over me and pinched my cheeks, Again. I went over to Malcolm and Chelsea's side and gave them a tight embrace. We rocked back and forth before letting go and by that time, there were tears flowing out of Me and Chelsea's eyes. Malcolm decided to keep up the tough guy act and fought his tears from falling. "We're gonna miss you, princess." Malcolm joked, to lighten up the mood. I elbowed him on the side knowing I hate that nickname and humphed. "It's time to go honey." Mom called out to me. I went over to her side and collected my luggage. I glanced at my family and friends one last time and gave them a small smile. Before turning my head back, I saw Adrian snickering and mouthed the words 'Bye Angry Bunny'. I glared at him, then made our way inside. After a few minutes, we were seated in the plane. When our luggage was instructed to be put on the Cargo Hold, I noticed a small white plushie attached to the side of my bag. I picked it up and I saw that's it's a little bunny rabbit with furrowed brows, squinted eyes, and it's flashing it's teeth. I tilted my head to the side, confused as to why it looks Angry. Then, I noticed there's a note underneath. Bye bye Angry Bunny ~~ - A.T I quickly crampled the piece of paper and threw it. I turned to the Bunny and glared at it, before I humphed in my seat realizing I probably look like it. Give me a break! *Airplane takes off*
