(Charles notices Y/N wandering throughout the hallway with a lost look on their face, and decides to help them. He quickly notices who Y/N is, and remembers some past memories regarding them... 3rd POV, Fluffy. Hope you enjoy!)

   Charles readjusted his bright top hat, sighing tiredly as he walked down the halls to the Orion Lounge.

   He had just finished a stressful, tense mission with Sledge Macrush and Hanz Spearman, where the two couldn't stop whisper-arguing over which was better, sledges or spears, while Charles tried to calm them down by averting their attention to the mission. The three somehow managed to succeed, but they were very frazzled. Sledge and Hanz being more angered than frazzled.

  'Honestly, why'd Henry have to put me with those two?' He thought to himself as he walked through the halls, passing a few Toppat Members heading to their own missions. 'He knows Hanz and Sledge have bad chemistry. I'm not good at weathering the mood.' He sighed.

   As he peacefully walked the halls, his mind began to wander to his memories. He held many painful ones, but also happy and optimistic ones. He liked to himself that the bad times were temporary, and good times would come soon.

   He could remember everything, ditching the government to work alongside the Toppats for better pay, working as an agent to gather info from the government for the Toppats, having a celebration for Henry's first week as the Toppat King... He sometimes regretted leaving, but it was his choice to do so. And in reality, if he had not done so, he would not have been able to help Henry and Ellie, or meet them...

   He had a small feeling that he would meet them again someday. It had been over a year since they have talked, but he had a small feeling that they would show up someday. After all, Y/N L/N is his childhood friend, and he can't help but miss them with a heavy heart.

  'Who knows where they might be,' He looked around the halls gingerly, catching a few Toppats arguing with one another, and some simply conversating or relaxing after their missions. 'Y/N is a grunt here... But I haven't seen them. I've asked around too, but all the leads I got were false. I'm seriously getting worried here. Just where--'

   Almost miraculously, a young lady/man with a I/D/H (Insert Design Here) Top hat walked out into the halls, their eyes clouded and almost lost. Charles smiled happily, he knew that clouded look from anywhere.

  "And I thought grunts would be smart," Charles said out loud, catching the young lady/man's attention. "With that lost look on your face, you seem to be a new grunt. Just where are you headed?" He walked up to them, his cheeky smile clear as the cosmos outside the windows.

  "Oh, I'm looking for somebody with red headphones like your's..." They said, looking around, like they had been snapped out of some dizzy spell. "I think they're near the Orion Lounge, but I don't know where it is."

   He clicked his tongue. He knew Y/N was a little oblivious at times, such as ignoring his painfully obvious hints years ago, (like him giving them a bouquet of roses and a plushie he gave them from a franchise called 'San-X' with a cute brown bear as it's main mascot,) but not this oblivious. Well, he didn't really care. He was just happy he was finally able to meet them.

  "Well, I think I may know who you're looking in terms of details," Charles said, locking eye contact with them. "Would you know someone called Charles Calvin?"

  Y/N's eyes widened, like they had gotten some sort of blast from the past from the name. "Yes, yes I'm looking for Charles Calvin," They exclaimed happily, before realizing something about the Red-dressed Toppat Member before her. "And... you look just like him!"

  "You're correct," Charles grabbed their hands and smiled brightly.

  "Sigh, you're such an idiot, ghosting me like that. I was really worried about you..."

  "I'm sorry, a lot of things were happening and the climax had hit it's peak there. Why don't we go on a ride on my copter sometime, as an apology?"
