I thought it would be cute if Fang had her own person to call her own so I'm introducing my own OC for this story. It happened right after my story of mistletoe mayhem. Hope you enjoy :)

The quiet surf of the waves, seagulls flying over the water, a nice cool breeze flowing through her hair. Fang was indeed having a good time by herself. She was used to being a loner. Someone who liked the quiet. Sure she enjoyed the company of Vanille and the company of her new friends. Plus all the new pranks she gets to pull, but after the last one, she needed to get away and relax. Not so that she could recuperate or anything, she just needed to stay alive. She had fun, but with all fun come a price and this one meant leaving town for a few days…maybe a few weeks…month tops! You can never tell with her.

Fang stretched out in the sand, soaking in the sun. She flipped over to her stomach to tan her back, like she really needed to, she just enjoyed it. "This sure does feel nice." She whispered. She was then startled by her phone as it went off.

"Hello?"

"FANG! Are you alright? Is everything ok? We haven't heard from you since Lightning chased you from the house. I was getting worried." Vanille was obviously worried about her good friend.

"I'm fine Vanille. I just thought I would take a little vacation. You know, get away from the cold, and enjoy the warmth of the sun, relaxing on a beach checking out the cute guys." Fang noticed one running fetching the volleyball where they were playing their game. He was a looker.

"Well next time tell me at least. I honestly thought you were a goner. Lightning was really mad at you."

"As she should be. It was pretty funny if you ask me." Fang started to chuckle from the memory. The look on lightning's face was priceless.

"Anyway, when do you think you will be back? You've been gone for a week now."

"I'll be back soon. Just want a few more days here enjoying the rays. What's been happening back at home?" Fang was a little curious as to how everything was between the two.

Vanille sighed. "Well Snow started to train Hope so that he can tell his crush that he likes her."

Fang laughed. "Snow sure does like to poke his head into everyone's business, trying to be the hero." She sat up, she felt like someone was watching her.

"Ya well, poor Hope looks as if he could collapse any minute."

"He's a tough kid, he will make it." Fang kept looking around, she didn't notice anything that could be dangerous, but you can never be too careful. "Besides, Lightning would stop it before anything gets to serious. She is still there right?"

"Ya, why do you ask?"

"Just curious. Hey Vanille I have to go, but I'll talk to ya later. Ok?" Fang stood up stretching. Her deep blue bikini showed off her tan really nicely. She pulled her hair out of the pony, letting it fall on her back.

"Sure thing Fang. I'm just glad to know you alright." Fang could hear the relief in her voice.

"Thanks Vanille, that means a lot."

"No problem, see you when you get back." She was back to her chipper self.

"You to. Later." Fang hung up her phone and packed up her stuff. She tied the deep blue cloth around her waist and headed to her hotel. If anything she would know if someone was following her. She was just sad that she didn't get to play volleyball with the hunk from earlier.

After the beach Fang didn't notice anything suspicious. It was probably just one of those creepy freaks that will sit at the beach just to watch the people. Fang sat in her hotel room staring at the ceiling.

"This is so boring. I need to go out and do something fun." She sat up and sighed. "Maybe I'll go to the game room and play some of the arcade games. Thanks to Snow, I have plenty of cash to spend." She had an evil grin to her face.

She checked herself over, ruffled her hair a bit and set out for the arcade. When she got there, she noticed a lot of kids were over at one of the counsel. She got a little interested and thought she would check out what the commotion was. When she got over there, there was a man who was about her age playing a shooting game…he was really good. The machine kept making noises that signaled another alien was dead. This guy is really racking up the points.

Fang pushed her way so she could stand at the side of the machine and to get a better look at this guy. He was tall and lean, but not too skinny. His long shaggy hair and he tied it in a pony in the back. Fang studied the man; there was something about him that made her want to know more.

"So you play this game a lot or are you just that good." She smirked crossing her arms leaning against the machine.

The guy looked from the screen to her. He was about to look at the screen when he took a double take and just stared at her. "Huh?"

"Hey mister look out!" A boy called out pointing to the screen.

He immediately turned his attention back to the game but within seconds he was dead and it was game over. "Shoot, I was so close to beating the high score to."

"To bad mister. Looks like you suck." The boy ran off before anyone could say or do anything about it.

"Well who asked you!" he called out to the boy as he ran.

Fang smirked. She might have just found her entertainment for the night. "That was real mature."

He turned his head remembering the fox who was standing in front of him. "Do you need something?"

"Hm? No. nothing really. I just saw all those kids around you so I thought I would check to see what the big deal was." Fang stated boringly.

"Ya well you can leave now. Because of you I lost the game." He whined walking to a new machine.

"Really, I was the one that made you lose? Who was the one who took his eyes off the game?" Fang followed trying to provoke him.

He stopped dead in his tracks, but then continued to walk in silence.

"What, no comment. I must be right then."

"Ya, well no one asked you." He threw in a quarter in the basket throw. Releasing the basketballs to throw into the net.

"You like using that line don't ya." She now leaned up against another machine.

"Will you just leave me alone? You're disrupting my concentration." He kept throwing the basketballs but kept missing.

"I bet you I'm better than that then you are." She smirked.

He stopped throwing and turned to her. "You're on. You shoot on you end while I shoot in mine. We'll see who is the better one here." He tossed her a quarter. "I'll treat you to a free loss. Don't be too disappointed when you lose." He was both annoyed and angered by her.

"Gee thanks. I'll try my best against you." She said sarcastically.

"We put the coins in at the same time. Highest score wins." He said confidently. This game was in the bag. "3…2…1."

They both put in the coins and watched as the balls dropped. Fang immediately grabbed the first one and started throwing them as they came. Each shot; she made it into the basket. The guy would look over and miss each time he did. Fang glanced over and gave him a smile. His cheeks grew red but he quickly shook it away. When the game was over, Fang had won by a thousand points.

"Good game. Too bad you lost. Now what was that about me losing?" Fang sang out proudly.

He narrowed his eyes at her. "Never mind. I'm done. I think I'll go back into my room. See ya." He started to walk out of the room.

She walked right behind him. "Well if you're that much of a sore loser then go ahead. I would rather spend my time playing an expert unlike a guy like you." Fang turned around stopping in front of the air hockey table.

He sighed. She was challenging him basically to a dual and he would not let her get away with it…even though she was attractive, but annoying. "Fine, I'll play more if you want me to, but this is the last game."

Fang shrugged. "Fine with me. I'm just happy I'm going to play against someone who might be as skilled as I am…if you would just stop checking out the girls.

He rolled up his arm sleeves. "Alright that's it. You're going down."

"I would like to see you try." Fang narrowed her eyes. She ran her hand across the air hockey table. "I challenge you to this."

"Then get to your place so we can start, unless you're really not all that good..." She grabbed her pusher and waited for him to make his move.

The guy seemed to get red in the face. Fang probably hit a nerve or something. Good this should make things easy. Fang tossed the little round red puck on the table and watched it glide. She hit it smacked dab in the middle at him. It was so fast he could barely block it. He managed to get a piece of it and it went back to Fang. She was ready for it and smacked it back at him. It was so fast and so hard the puck flew off the table.

"Wow. You're really good." He stared at her with amazement.

Fang looked at her hand inspecting her nails. "Really. I thought I was only mediocre." She teased. "Anyway, grab the puck so we can get this game going."

"Oh, right." He was snapped back to reality and fetched the puck. He came back with a new determination in his eyes. "Are you ready for this?"

Fang saw the fire in his eyes. "Now this I'm going to like." She got herself ready.

He hit the puck and it wildly at Fang. She hit it back without any problem. But the difference now with this game was that the guy was now playing his best. They battled each other for about five minutes without a point. They were equal in skill. Soon the whole arcade came to watch them play. A heated battle between two strangers. They were the talk of the hotel. After about thirty minutes of playing and ten dollars in quarters they were tied. The time counted down from two minutes.

"You put up a really good fight, but it won't save you." He teased

Fang smirked. "I have dealt with more danger then you have ever seen in your life. There is no way you're going to win."

He shot the puck making it bounce off the walls. "Really? Then you won't mind if I ask you out for a drink after this."

"Only if you win."

"Then I won't lose." He smirked shooting the puck with speed.

Fang blocked it and hit it toward the wall. It bounced off just right where it went for his goal. He tried to block it but lost. Fang stood up proud but her lovely opponent hung his head in defeat. Everyone around the table cheered. "Don't beat yourself up over this. You played really well."

"Not well enough." He went to go shake her hand. He stood just a little taller than her. "Good game." He stuck out his hand.

Fang grabbed it and shook it. "You did better than I thought. Thanks for the entertainment. I was getting really bored and you saved me."

He chuckled some. "Well in that case, even though I lost can I still ask you out for a drink?"

Fang tilted her head in thought. "Well I guess if you really wanted to. You would have to pay for mine as well."

"Now that's something I can do." He picked up his coat. "The bar and grill is across the hall."

The two walked on over to the bar and sat at the high top table. There was a crowd of people but not too many at the bar. Well it was only four in the afternoon. Still a little early for anyone to be really drinking.

"So I never caught your name. I'm Barret Grainer. I'm a substitute teacher." He nudged her playfully.

"The name's name's' Oerba Yun Fang, but just call me Fang." She smiled deviously. Without him knowing she was already unscrewing the top to the salt and pepper.

"Wait, are you Pulsian?"

"Yep. You got that right. Nice guess."

"Well I am a school teacher. I've studied a lot of the Pulsian history. How you escape?" he was now interested.

Fang sighed. "It's a long story for another time. It's not something I go around telling random people."

"Ok, ok. I was just asking." He was getting lost in her eyes. "Anyway, how long are you going to be here for?"

"Whenever I decide to go back home. I have a very angry person who wants me dead so I'm waiting for it to die down at home." She winked.

"Now you have me confused." He was getting a little worried of what he had gotten himself into.

"I just pulled a small prank on my friends and one of them doesn't really like what I did. Nothing too big. She just needs to learn to let up every once in a while."

Barret sighed in relief. "I thought I just might have gotten myself into trouble."

Fang smirked evilly. "But you just did."

So question should I add another chapter or just finish this one? I'm kinda stuck. If I did another chapter it would be a prank they pull off together. What do you think? I need feedback!
