THE ESTATE OF NIBIRU-MUL PRESENTS

ELIWOOD'S NEW GIRLFRIEND

PART I

It had been a year since Roy had defeated Zephiel and Idenn and saved Etruria. He was now the marquess of Pherae, taking over for his father Eliwood. Roy and Shanna were a happy couple, even though some did joke about the two having practically the same haircut.

Eliwood was feeling much better. He felt kind of awkwards being 38 years old and already having a daughter-in-law. He was helping out with his son at first, promising to work hard to restore Pherae from the war. But after a while, Eliwood started to feel lonely. His wife Fiora had died ten years ago, and a decade without his beloved marchioness had taken a toll on him. When he was not busy he decided to go soul-searching.

But one night, Eliwood had announced a big surprise that would surely enrage Roy.

Roy was in his bedchamber, coloring a picture that he drew of himself playing with his father. Not long after he had finished the picture, a servant notified Roy that Eliwood wanted to speak to him. It was something very important that Roy needed to know.

"What could it be?" Roy asked himself.

Roy picked up his picture and went to find Eliwood. Eliwood was in the kitchen, eating some dinner rolls and drinking ale. Roy walked inside.

"Dad, what did you want to see me about?" asked Roy. "Is it about me sneaking food at night? If it is, then I'm sorry - sometimes I get hungry late at night."

"No," said Eliwood. "You're not in trouble."

"Well," said Roy, "is it about me playing practical jokes?"

"I said you're not in trouble," said Eliwood.

"Then what is it?" asked Roy. "What do you want to tell me?"

"Okay..." said Eliwood. "It's just...well...you see...about my nights out in town...well..." Eliwood was hesitating to tell Roy, since he wanted to tell Roy the truth about something that could upset Roy. Normally Roy didn't get upset about these things, but still... "Roy...I have to tell you something...I...I have...a new...a new..." Eliwood was trying to spit it out, but he couldn't.

Then, suddenly, a hot flash came over Eliwood's face. "I HAVE A NEW GIRLFRIEND! THERE! i SAID IT! GODS DAMN IT!"

Roy froze for a minute and looked around. He couldn't tell if Eliwood was serious. Then he burst out laughing.

"No, really," said Roy. "What do you want to tell me!"

"That's what I wanted to tell you," said Eliwood. "I have a new girlfriend."

"Come on," said Roy.

"It's true," said Eliwood.

"No, it's not," said Roy.

"Yes, it is," said Eliwood.

"No, it's not!" said Roy, shaking his head.

"Yes, it is!" said Eliwood exasperatedly. "I recently started dating this woman named Isadora. Her husband Harken died several years ago. She doesn't have any kids, unfortunately. I met her a long time ago. We saw each other again a few months ago and we've been dating each other."

Roy felt shocked. He tried to change the subject.

"Well..." said Roy. "I made you this picture."

"Aw, thanks, son!" said Eliwood, taking the picture.

"And now I have to go see my wife," said Roy.

Roy walked quietly out of the palace kitchen. He first walked quietly, but as soon as he was out of Eliwood's sight, he started to run. He made his way to the library, where Shanna was busy reading a book. She was surprised to see Roy running.

"Shanna!" said Roy.

"What is it, dear?" Shanna asked Roy.

"I have some terrible news!" said Roy.

"News?" asked Shanna.

"It's about my dad!" said Roy.

"Your dad?" asked Shanna.

"You might not believe this..." said Roy. "It's...uh...something bad...I think it's...extremely horrible..." Roy was sweating. This shocked Shanna, who was not used to seeing Roy getting all sweaty.

"What is Eliwood doing?" asked Shanna.

"ELIWOOD HAS A GIRLFRIEND!" said Roy. "He can't be doing this to me!"

"Shouldn't you be happy?" said Shanna. "She's the first woman to come around since your mother."

"I don't want him to have a girlfriend!" said Roy. "It's completely disrespectful to my mother's memory!"

"Roy," said Shanna, "after that dreadful war last year, I thought you'd be happy that Eliwood has found someone new!"

"But he said he'd never get married again!" said Roy. "It's so unfair! He lied to me!"

"Stop acting like a spoiled brat, Roy," said Shanna.

Roy growled and stomped out of the library. He went to his bedchamber.

"I know he's my husband," said Shanna, "but sometimes he can be such a kid..."
