"You son of a bitch!" Loke shouted as he chased Gray's nude form through the streets.

"Geeze, man," Gray said as he leaped over a blast from Loke's magic ring. "What did I do?"

"The girl, you buffoon! Do you have any idea who she was?"

"Um." Gray considered the possibilities. She had been blonde, tall, and... "Nope," he admitted as he ducked under another burst of magical power. "No idea."

"She was Michelle Lakes!" Loke shouted as he lashed out with his left first. Gray narrowly avoided the punch.

"Who?"

"Top model for three years running?" Loke said incredulously. "Voted sexiest woman alive by Citizen magazine? Incredibly famous celebrity? How can you not have heard of her?"

"I dunno," Gray said as he created an ice ramp to climb up onto a rooftop. Loke followed him up it.

"Two months!" Loke wailed. "Two months of wooing her. And just when I'm getting somewhere, what happens?"

"Look, I needed some underwear," Gray said. "I can't just run around naked!"

Letting loose with a cry that hovered between rage and despair, Loke slammed his ring into the roof between them, setting off an explosion that sent pieces of shingles flying in all directions.
