It will help if you have read Third and The Portal of EPICOCITY!: Pandasan. (It was supposed to be Panda-san, but it won't let me have a hyphen in the title. Grr!) If you haven't... *shrug*

I meant to write this quite a while ago, but I forgot. I also forgot to do anything for Valentine's day. (I was a little distracted. ^w^)


We Need to Talk

Me: Take a seat.

Near: ...

Me: Have a seat.

Near: *sits down*

Me: Take a seat.

Near: I'm sitting.

Me: Good... *tents fingers* good.

Near: *blank faced*

Me: Near, we need to talk.

Near: What about?

Me: I'm sick of the sight of you.

Near: How is that?

Me: Writing Third, I got bored with you.

Near: You got bored with me?

Me: Yes. Whenever I was about to write for you to do something, I'd think, "wait, that's actually more of an L thing to say." All that stuff about how you're not like L wasn't planned. That was just me spouting out random junk. Hopes the one who didn't want to believe it.

Near: You prefer L to me?

Me: Frankly, yes.

Near: Might I ask when you got sick of the sight of me?

Me: Oh, I don't know. Chapter five? Chapter Six? I don't think I consciously began to grow tired of you until chapter six.

Near: So, where does that leave us?

Me: Beats me. It's not like you did anything while you had the chance. *holds nose in air*

Near: …

Me: You don't care. You just think I'm some obsessed otaku.

Near: Well, I've seen that you have a ridiculous crush on at least one guy from every anime and manga you watch or read.

Me: Not EVERY one.

Near: Name one where you don't.

Me: Lucky Star.

Near: Okay, name another one.

Me: I... Uh... Give me a second... The Melancholy of-

Near: Koizumi.

Me: Zero no-

Near: Saito.

Me: HOW DO YOU KNOW SO MUCH ABOUT ME?

Near: Do you have any other poor excuses?

Me: … School Rumble! Ha!

Near: You neither read nor watch School Rumble. You read half-way through the first manga volume and got sick of it.

Me: ...Special-

Near: Tadashi.

Me: RAGH!

Near: Keroro Gunso – Saburo. Code Geass – Lelouch and Suzaku. Tokyo Mew Mew – Ryou and Kisshu. Not Aoyama. You think he's boring.

Me: He is My Master! You can't really say I have a crush on the pervy guy in that. (His name escapes me.)

Near: …

Me: Crap! I hate yooooooooooooouuu!

Near: Do you like anyone in real life?

Me: *blush*

Near: *smirk* What's that?

Me: What's what?

Near: That card up there on the shelf? Is it a Valentine?

Me: No!

Near: It has a love heart on it.

Me: Don't touch it!

James: Near, if I'm not aloud to tease her about it, then neither are you.

Me: XP

Near: Very well. I do have one last question.

Me: Does it have anything to do with the card?

Near: ...Not anymore it doesn't.

Me: Okay, then. Shoot.

James: *pulls out revolver*

Me: Not you! Go away!

James: *pouts and leaves*

Near: Can I have an example of when I annoyed you?

Me: I don't remember. It was some conversation I needed you to have with Hope, but I realised that you wouldn't actually do that. It then occurred to me that you weren't as interesting as L.

Near: I see, and I completely understand.

Me: You think I'm completely bonkers, don't you?

Near: To be perfectly frank, yes.

Me: Fair enough. You can go now.

Near: I'll do that then. *snatches my card and leaves*

Me: Hey!

Hope: *chicken wings Near in the throat* Here you go. *gives me back the card*

James: *shoots Hope and Near*

Me: *glares at him*

James: What? You broke up with him, right?

Me: *sigh*

James: *shoots me*


Me: I know it's rubbish, BUT I DON'T CARE WHAT YOU THINK!

James: Good, because everyone hates you anyway.

Me: Not everyone. *points to card*
