He smiled happily at her. Aerius missed her a lot over the year.<br/><br/>"Hey", he laughs, "Didja miss me?"<br/><br/>Aerius embraces her in a friendly hug and lets go immediately. He looks her over and whistles, "Wow! You have grown-up so much, Cupcake. I think I have to call you just Cake now."<br/><br/>Cupcake is a nickname he'd given her when they met. In 7th grade, he saw her in the hallway and he wanted to make friends with her since he was the new kid coming from Britain. He didn't know her name but Aerius really wanted to talk to her. He looked and saw a giant cupcake on her backpack and decided to us that characteristic to catch her attention. Everytime up until he really learned her name he called her Cupcake and it stuck.
