*"Blue?!"*

Red was having a lot of trouble processing this. He was so happy to see Blue, he really was! But at the same time... Just like Red, Blue had grown. And he had grown a *Lot.* He was a lot taller than Red now, and he too had apparently experienced appearance changes. While Red had acquired freckles, red eyes, and ginger hair, Blue's hair and skin color had darkened to quite a beautiful brown tone and... His *Eyes* Were so *Blue.* Red couldn't stop looking at them.

Oh goddess. His crush had *Not* Gone away. It was just as bad as before. He was so stunned he almost forgot to hug back. So he did... And realized Blue's *Muscles* Had also grown. 

Correction. His crush on Blue was not the same. It was so much worse.

*So many emotions were going through your head at once when you saw Red again. You had to lean down slightly to really get a look at him but that was okay. Youre just happy hes safe and hes here! Right now! In front of you! Isnt this amazing??*
*Tears began to well up in your eyes. You had forgotten how much you had missed this little runt.*

"Yes, Red its me. I swear it is- i- I missed you so much- Im so happy to see you."

*Your hands were on his shoulders as you took a moment to get a good look at him. A few tears rolled down your cheeks and blurred your vision a little, but you could still see just fine. Red looked a lot different than you remembered, which you expected. You __would__ say that he was just short, but you hadnt really noticed that you... Got pretty tall didnt you? No ones said anything about it before so you guess you never gave it much thought. That didnt matter though.*
*You could clearly see that Red's appearance changed. His hair was a soft orange color, and his eyes turned into a lovely shade of red that complimented the freckles on his face. He was... Very pretty... Beautiful, actually.*
*Well, you mean it in just- you- youre just ACKNOWLEDGING his changes. Nothing more. He looks nice. Thats it. Yeah.*
*You began to choke and as you wanted to tell him more. Goddesses there was so much that had happened, so much you wanted to say, but that all caught in your throat. You quickly gave up on speaking for a moment to simply go in for another hug. You held him tightly in your arms and let it all go completely, allowing the tears to flow freely and soak a tiny bit of Red's cloak.*

"Youve changed so much i- It-its so great to see you again-"

This time Red really did return the hug right away. He closed his eyes and smiled. He *Had* Changed a lot... And so had Blue. Stronger but somehow softer. The tears were a bit surprising, but certainly not bewildering. Just like Red, Blue had grown up. While Red became braver, Blue had opened up. He felt... Proud.

"I think we both have changed, Blue. I have so much to tell you, I've been so many places and seen so many things! It's so good to see you again."

Red sniffled a bit himself as he pulled back slightly, looking at Blue with slightly watery eyes. "I just feel like... I also *Missed* So much. You have to tell me everything! What happened to you three? I remember Vio leaving while you and Green stayed... What's been going on? How is Zelda?"

Red knew he was asking a lot of questions... But he felt bad for having missed so much happening in Hyrule. In his travels in other lands – Holodrum, Thundramali, Labrynna – he had been gone for too long.
