There was a loud, rapid knocking on the door. Aya opened it, only to find Howl standing in the doorway.
"Howl! How are you?" Ayame asked excitedly as he motioned for Howl to come in.
"Oh, ok. But Sophie is cleaning the castle so she kicked me out. Said I make more of a mess in a minute than Markl does in a week." Howl sighed. "So I thought I'd stop by and see an old friend!"
"Well I'm glad you did! Its been so long since we've hung out and chatted. Come in and sit down." So the two of them sat down and began talking.
"Oh I know how that is! Mine is always saying 'Don't touch that, you'll break it!', and, 'Go away, I'm trying to finish this!' Believe me I know how it can be!"
"Yeah but it seems all Sophie does any more is clean! Its just so…." Howl sighed. "I don't know what to do…" Howl hunched over and the room got all dark, shadows moving around in an eerie way.
"Umm…Howl…..are you o…kay…." Aya noticed that Howl's skin seemed to be glistening so he childishly poked his friend's shoulder, only to draw back in disgust when his finger met a disgusting, green slime.
"Eww….Howl what is this stuff…..Howl?" Aya stared at Howl for a while, but Howl didn't move. "OHMIGOSH HOWL ARE YOU ALRIGHT!" Aya spazzed. The lights came back on, the shadows dispersed and Howl sat up with a huge smile on his face.
"Haha I got you!"
"Oh Howl! You and your tricks!" The two of them laughed for a good ten minutes. "Btw Howl, I love what you've done with your hair!"
"Oh really, thanks." Howl grinned. "And you know I love the way you've decorated your shop! Its so-well put together!" The two of them did not know that, while they were talking, they were also being eavesdropped on. Moments later, however, the culprit came into the room.
"What are you two ladies talking about?" Yuki asked from the doorway.
"Oh Yuki!" Aya rejoiced as he jumped up and ran over to his brother. "This is my friend, Howl!" Howl came over to the two.
"Hello." he said to Yuki, then turned to Aya, "So this is your brother?" Aya nodded proudly. "Wow…" he started and the two began to fawn over him. Aggravated, Yuki stormed out of the room while Howl and Aya continued talking excitedly.
Rito-Chan: Actually I think now I would be Suku-Chan or something like that(I changed chars), but I think I will just stay as Rito-Chan. Here anyway. So anyway I hope you enjoyed this one shot. It was kinda lame, I may change it around a little later. But for those of you who have seen both Howl's Moving Castle AND Furuba, don't you agree that they would be perfect friends! Lol ^_^
