The sun was about to touch the horizon with its fading light coloring one side of the street in gold. A lonesome girl was making her way through the crowd. Stellar didn't look where she was walking - she simply didn't care for that. She was on a the type of mood in which she was ready to kill the first one who would dare to step on her way. Maybe it was written all over on her face because no one tried to come near her.

Stellar didn't notice that in her search she was moving in an expanding spiral direction from the place where she saw her sister for the last time. It was a long day and she didn't have any money, so the only thing left for her to do was to continue walking. Now, she was ready to do anything for her own credit card.

When she understood the senselessness of her search, Stellar stopped and leaned against the banister that separated the road from the sidewalk.

‘I can’t do anything by myself.’ she thought. ‘April is much better with knowing her way around in this city, so I’ll let her come to me!’

With this decision the girl started to wait of what was going to happen next.

The day was almost over. The windows rejected bright glares on the by standers. With each passing minute, the splashes of sunlight became more and more red. The heat of the day hadn’t disappear yet from the city. At the same time, the night wind had already brought along with it the long-expected coolness. It was the favorite time of the day for the citizens to take a walk. A lot of people came out from their homes to enjoy the evening sun.

However, Stellar did not notice the beauty around her. She was walking again, looking only on the ground. For the first time in her life, she felt what was it was to be really alone. Despite it, that feeling was nothing compared to the problem where to go for the night.

Suddenly she felt a gaze on herself. She slowly raised her head and met a glance from the statuesque young man. She saw an endearment and concern in his narrowed blue eyes. Unlike the majority of the other people here, his hair was in a blue-green color.

'I must say it really suits him,' Stellar said to herself.

The girl continued watching him, trying not to show any sympathy.

"April." The blue-eye guy called out with some hesitation in his voice.

"Oh no." Stellar was confused, "I'm her sister!"

"A sister! I didn't know that she even had a sister! A twin sister!" it seemed like he was more delighted than surprised.

"Well, yes..."

"And where's April?" he interrupted Stellar.

"You see... I'm lost! Well... We were shopping. I was in one shop while she was in another. And I can't find her since then!" Stellar was really close to break down in tears.

The guy comforted her on his shoulder so no one could see her tears. Stellar quickly calmed down. Back on Lavana, there wasn't a single person who would dare himself of touching her even with one finger, but now, everything was different. She didn't bother to move away from him. With some delight, she even noticed how strong his arms were.

"Come on," he said, "My name is Jesse Blue."

"I'm Stellar..." she was ready to add her royal title, but swallowed it in the last minute.

Jesse had gently pushed her before him.

"You'll need some kind of a place to stay for the night. I have rented a suite at the hotel nearby and will be honored to offer it to April's sister." He sweetly smiled to Stellar.

"But where will you stay for a night?"

"Don't worry, I have many friends here to whom I can turn to. I'll go to someone."

"I feel uneasy about it..."

"It's really okay! It's my pleasure to render you this small favor."

Stellar preferred not to argue anymore. After all, it ended up for her own good. For some time they were walking in silence.

"Do you know her well?" Stellar then broke the long pause.

"Who? April? Yes of course! For some time we were really close friends."

"Hmm, strange, she never told me about you. I even thought that she didn't have any other friends except for the Star Sheriffs."

"Because of them April had to break up with me. The truth is... She was forced into do so where in reality, she never wanted to leave me in the first place. I'm telling you, they’ve done a number on her head." complained Jesse.

"Really? But it seamed like they liked her a lot and she likes them, too."

"Don't know, don't know." Jesse didn't want to press it any further on her.

"Although I have to admit it... April had never told me anything of how she used to live before she met Saber Rider, Colt and Fireball."

"It’s because she doesn’t remember it." the guy argued.

"What do you mean by that?" Stellar sharply stopped and looked at him.

"They have done something to her. Now, she doesn’t remember what was earlier in her life. I'm the only who knows the truth! But, there isn't a thing we can prove that!"

"But what about our father!? Didn’t he notice anything?" Stellar continued to pester him.

JB: "Commander Eagle? He hoofed me out when I’ve told him that."

St: "That’s not possible..."

"It happened!" Jesse answered sharply.

Silence took over.

"What do you do for living?" Stellar changed the subject.

"Well, I'm a designer. I’m creating machines, space ships and other first to need basis for the New Frontier. I design them and then look over the fabrication team of the production of the first prototype.

"That’s great!" now she was feeling easier with this situation. "Will you help me to find my sister, Mr. Blue?"

"Call me Jesse, okay? It wasn’t the answer to the question but Stellar took it as such.

"Okay, Jesse. So, what do you think, where we should start searching?"

JB: "When and where did you see her last?"

St: "Four hours ago. I think the street was called Freedom Street."

JB: "Four hours you say? Hmm... That's a long time ago. She could be anywhere by now, and I see that you are too tired to look for her any further today. Besides, it will be dark soon. I’ll take you to the hotel now. There you can get some rest while in the meanwhile I will make a few calls and find out where she could be. Who knows... She might circling the city looking for you right now?"

"Hardly. I feel that something has happened to her. She would never leave me wander off by myself. She would wait for me no matter what! I feel that she’s in trouble. You see, we can feel what the other twin feels when we are close enough."

‘Cripes! The deuce they are! Interesting, do they have a telepathy as well? I hope not. Otherwise she wouldn’t allow me to come close to her.’ Anyways, this consideration had puzzled Jesse Blue, if he made a single mistake now, the whole plan would fall down the drain.

"But I can’t make out where she is!" Continued Stellar. "You must help me!"

JB: "Certainly! After all April is my friend too. Don’t worry, I’ll take it from here now. I’m not the last man on this planet. Believe me, we’ll find her!"

Stellar allowed him to take her to the hotel. Only when she was left alone she understood what it felt like to obey to a complete stranger. However, she didn’t feel uncomfortable about it. She believed Jesse and hoped for his help. Following her new friend’s advice, she went straight to bed and forget all tensions of the day.

As soon as her head touched the pillow, she was already asleep.
