Sorry I couldn't make this in time...I was watching Fairy Tail and I just finished baka and test season 2. All I have to say is that Aki should really just choose minami already...seriously just look at himeji's cooking! But let's forget this and hope you have a great 4th of july

It was another day at the campsite, he was once again smoking. "Cruz what did I tell you about cigarettes?" Setsuna asked bored of asking the EXACT same question over and over. "Oh, let's see...yada-yada-yada, blah blabbiddi blah, so stop" he answered while blowing out a cloud of smoke. "Honestly, men. They never act smart now do they" Setsuna asked. "Fine, I guess we don't. Then next time I won't save you from almost getting fired that time" he yelled and gave her an evil glare. She began to pout and finally said in defeat "Fine, you win"

Cruz's dream

He was in the middle of nowhere, there was no light, nobody, nothing but him. "Where am I?" he suddenly began to feel the hem of his scarf being pulled. (He never stopped wearing the clothes he wore when Mio died in 'Could you be the one?' and when he washed them he went out naked). he turned his head and saw a little girl standing there with tears flowing from her eyes to her chin and dropping to the ground, wait ground? He searched all around him and he found himself in a dark alley. "What's going on?"

"Mister?" he paid his attention back to the girl, she looked so horrified. "Please, I'm begging you, please don't rape me" she was filled with worry and caution. Cruz didn't know what she meant so he knelt down to her height so he could talk to her, but just as he did she took a knife out of his pocket and stabbed him deep in the stomach. Her tears instantly stopped, and she grinned like the devil himself and glared at him like she had stabbed someone before without hesitation. "you aren't ever going to wake up from this dream" she said laughing maniacally. Then he blacked out.

Cruz woke up in a bed in a dark room, he tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain flow through his entire body. His muscles instantly lacked energy, and suddenly he fell back onto the bed. He then remembered what had happened and looked at his scar. "Shit, now everyone's gonna get the wrong idea at the base. Wait, oh yeah this is a dream" he remembered. He heard a door open and in came the little girl. He gave her a pissed off look, "Listen, I don't like you and you don't like me but let's make an agreement. I let you go and you can get out of this dream and you come back every night with some weapons and ammunition" the little girl said. "And why should I help YOU?" she started to get mad now "Because, I know where Adam Blade is"
