A/N: Hey! I'm new to this community, so this is my first fanfic.

Disclaimer: I have no idea why everyone is posting this on their stories, but it should be obvious that I own all of Zatch Bell and related merchandise, movies, including fanfictions.

Yes I do :D

Anyway, enjoy reading. And also I have been playing NFS lately, mind the references.

The hallway of the school was suddenly filled with not only the ring of the bell, which mark the end of the school day, but also the cries of the blonde-haired mamodo.

"ZAAAAAAAAAAATCH~"

He knew that voice too well. There was no mistake it was her. Instinctively, he ran. As fast as he could.

"Run. Just run. All you need to do is run. Do not let the stares of others slow you down. If you do, you DIE."

No matter how this seemed disgraceful for a king, it was necessary for his "survival".

"ZAAAAAAAAAAATCH~"

Again. He knew that she was chasing him as well. Zatch could sense she was just a few meters away from him, but just to make sure...

He turned his head back.

The turquoise short-haired girl was indeed just right behind him. Obviously for Zatch it was simply too close; he needed some personal space, especially for that girl.

"I see.. the exit!"

He quickly shifted his speed to Gear 6, and nitrous-ed out of the school compound filled with other students. By diving into the crowd, he successfully avoided "death". Penny simply knocked through the helpless children, and soon vanished into the horizon.

"Phew. Now I just have to return home, quickly. Before she finds me again. Now if Tia was here, Penny would be much less destructive today. Now, where did she go.."

-Start of flashback-

"So you're really going there, Tia?"

"Well, I was kind of forced to go, but I have friends with me. All I have to do is just help underprivileged people for 3 days. Don't worry so much, Zatch. Are you afraid that you will miss me, hmm?"

"Ah.., it's not really that.., but.. her.."

"Hehe. Zatch, when she tries to assault you, just run, okay? After 3 days, I'll be coming back; it will be fine."

"Uhh.. I hope I'll be fine, I guess."

-End of flashback-

Zatch started to miss Tia, actually. During class he had to endure the endless flow of redundant questions from Penny, and he had little people to play with him when he was free(rarely).

"Oh well. Just 2 more days, Tia will be back. But for now, I have to escape!"

Zatch hurriedly ran back to the palace, where security was tight, meaning that Penny would have little chance of sneaking inside to disturb him.

Back in the palace, life was pretty much like a routine: Earth's law class, governmental issues, and other kingly chores. Soon, it was already night, and Zatch was exhausted like any other day. As he reached for the bed, he beloved Vulcan 300 was next to it, laying on the table, as if it was trying to tell Zatch something important.

Zatch held Vulcan by his chopstick arms, and responded,

"Vul-can, do you want to tell me something?"

"What? Why do I need to get flowers?"

"But I will be picking up Tia from school, I don't need flowers for that kind of thing."

"Hmm.., flowers do make girls happy. Unuu, let's go find flowers tomorrow okay?"

After the one-sided conversation, he placed Vulcan onto the table, jumped onto the bed, and slept.

Dear diary,

Man today sucked. It's been one day since I'm away from home. Anyway, today I had to do most of the boring and tedious chores like cleaning up the people's homes. Well, that included brushing, scrubbing and a lot more pointless things. Kolulu, a great friend of mine, was partnered up with me to stay in one of the inns there. The inn was horrible; I don't think anyone who comes here ever thought of returning. The walls of the inn had cracks running through, the toilets were seriously awful and the room was really.. well to put it simply it was pathetic. Ugh, but it makes sense though, it being a very poor village.

To be honest, I do miss Zatch. I mean, he usually makes my day by making me laugh, except him being so oblivious. He can't really tell that I lik-

"Tia, you can use the toilet now."

Kolulu walked out of the toilet, and was ready to sleep. Upon seeing Tia's surprised and shocked expression, she walked over to her.

"What's wrong, Tia? You look as if you saw a ghost. I hope you aren't referring to me, right?"

"Ah.., was I? Sorry Kolulu."

"Eh? What's this, you brought your diary along?"

Tia immediately closed her diary, quickly grabbed her toothbrush and rushed into the toilet, her face red with embarrassment.

"I swear I will strangle her if she reads me diary.."

"Huh. Maybe she isn't used to the conditions here. I guess I'll get some sleep first.."

After spending a few minutes getting ready for bed, Tia stealthily continued to log her thoughts onto the diary.

He can't really tell that I like him. Though I'm not entirely sure that this liking towards him has matured into love. I hope not. I don't want to ever feel the pain of being in love again; falling for that idiot, and he betrayed my feelings towards him. He put the Demon Battle over me. But it was due to him that I found Zatch, I can't really blame him for the cause of my misery during the battle. Sigh, let's stop this pointless flashback, and get back to topic. Actually, every time when I close my eyes to sleep, it seems Zatch is always right in front of my eyes, with his cute smile on his face. That image will brighten the darkness in my eyes, and put me at ease. It's like, I feel that Zatch is always by my side, protecting and comforting me...

Oh man. It's really late now, and tomorrow will be much more suckish than today. Gotta sleep now.

Tia put her diary into her bagpack, and climbed onto the hard, wooden bed. Pulling up an uncomfortable cotton blanket, she started to recall her memories of her trying to impress and making Zatch happy.

"Yeah, I probably do love Zatch.."

"Zatch.."

"Uhhh.., did.. you say.. something, Tia..?", Kolulu asked in a semi-sleep state.

"…, nothing, I didn't say anything."

"Oh..., good night.."

"..Good night.."

"Yeah, now isn't the time to think about him. I've got to sleep."

A/N: Yup. This is the first chapter. Please rate/review, commenting a "nice lol" would be great. :D
