Joanne looked up from her Nintendo 3DS. "Alex, what the heck is this game that you've got me playing?" she shouted, exasperated. "I have all my units fighting together for the stat bonuses. I level up my supports for all my characters, and suddenly, the Exalt's brother and I are walking in on each other naked? Explain this!"

Alex glanced up from his computer. "Oh, I forgot to warn you. That's the support system of Fire Emblem: Awakening. And no spoilers, but it gets very important later on."

"What do you mean?" she furrowed her brow indignantly.

"I mean…" Alex drawled. "If you keep fighting next to that Ylissean prince, you might find yourself permanently stuck with him."

She chewed her lip, annoyed. "But I don't want to marry Chrom! If anybody, I'd want to marry Gaius. Mmmm. That bad boy attitude and that body of his…" she trailed off, lost in thought.

"Ugh," Alex rolled his eyes at his sister's words. "Spare me from your adolescent fantasies. Anyways, again, not trying to spoil things, but if you want to marry Gaius, you might want to hurry."

"Fine, fine. I'll go and get him to fall in love with me now." Joanne huffed and went back to playing. After all, according to her brother, there was no time to waste. There were weddings to plan and matches to make!
