Previously… On The Gang…
It was on a brisk February morning. It started with Steven Cooke and Kandy Potter, reuniting, after Miranda Maynard slayed a dragon in Argos.
But that's not the whole story. If you recall, Steven Cooke and Asahi Sakurai are preparing for The Gang's World Tour, starting in England. With help from Steven's sister, C.C., Seina Katsura, and Kandy Potter, they were able to prepare for the show. However, when Kandy and Steven were on a date in Hyde Park, Kandy met Jamie, her former crush who is, in reality, a werewolf, who admired her, but loved her. But trouble ensues, as Jamie was being hunted by a man, following their departure from their date, months ago. The reason why he wanted him dead is because he is a rare blue fur timberwolf that killed many, all around England. The group agreed to protect Jamie, at all costs, so he wouldn't die at his hands. However, two things are troubling for Jamie.
One: he has to endure a full moon, which is coming up, and that could be a problem
and Two: He has Asahi Sakurai in his arms, kissing and touching each other, after Asahi felt infatuated by him
Now, with the story continuing, how will Asahi explain about her sudden unexpected lust she has for Kandy's penpal-slash-crush? And, also, will Kandy learn the truth? More importantly, will this affect Steven Cooke and Kandy Potter's relationship?
The Gang in:
Wolf in London's Way (Part 2)
Somewhere… at a four-star British Hotel…
In Steven's room, Kandy turned on the water and started the shower. She said, "Well, as long as my skin is washable. Daddy knows how to clean up my perks."
She stepped inside, about to take a shower.
Meanwhile, Steven Cooke was waking up, with just his pants on. He moaned, "Huh? What happened?"
He looked at the bed and saw that Kandy has disappeared. He heard the shower running and heard her singing. He said, "Oh… She's taking a shower. I guess some electric devices can be cleaned, in any way. Of course, I wonder if she removed some of those cinders and ashes in her, from that battle."
He got up from bed and went to the bathroom. He said to himself, "I better surprise her. I needed to tidy up, myself."

At another room, in a huge king-size bed, Asahi and Jamie were kissing and grasping onto each other, making out, but not making love. He unbuttoned her blouse, halfway, and rubbed her chest onto his bare chest. He was already in his pants, while Asahi was in her white blouse and purple jeans. He grasped onto her head and locked lips with her, while stroking his fingers into her long black hair.
"Oh, Jamie…" she whispered, "I love you…"
He said, "You think it is okay? You are human, right."
"I don't mind if you bite me. Just don't. I wish to be immortal, but on music-wise."
"That's an old wives' tale. But only if I bite you, as a wolf, you'd be one. But I am self-cautious."
"So… Bite me…"
"No… But I will hold you…"
He kissed her again, as he grasped her hip. She squealed, "Ooh! You're a feisty beast…"
She held his head and pleaded to touch her. He didn't. He grabbed the covers and draped them over. They started laughing, as they continued, with a few of their clothes on the floor.

At Steven's Room, Kandy finished her shower and draped a towel over her body. She stepped out, as Steven was brushing his hair with his comb. He turned to Kandy and smiled, "You had a nice shower, Kan-Kan?"
She shrieked, "AAAAAAAAAAH!"
She yelled, as she grabbed a shampoo bottle and threw it at him, "Steven! What are you doing? Get out of here!"
He pleaded, "OW! Sorry! I didn't know… OW!"
She screamed, "Darn it! Sexy Steven, you should've known better than to try and see me in a shower!"
"Kandy, you know well that Steven Cooke is no pervert!"
"Well, you should've waited! I am using this bathroom, so wait your turn!"
He was pushed out, with her towel still on. She scolded, "Besides, I'd rather be sensual to you, when I feel like it! But because of Jamie, I'm not in the mood!"
She slammed the door, as Steven sarcastically jeered, "What's biting her servos?"
She opened the door again and said to him, "Also, sorry…" and then shut it again.

Back at the other room, Asahi and Jamie held onto each other, from under the covers. She declared, "Jamie… That was the most fun I had with you…"
He replied, "I know. Just don't tell Kandy about it. Okay?"
"I won't. But she may know, soon."
"I hope not… I still like her, but-. Wait, you love me?"
Asahi blushed, as she touched his face with her fingers, "Sorry… You are simply like a hot guy. And you're such a great wolverine."
Jamie said, "You said it. But let's keep it a secret."
They kissed again, until they stopped.

"I don't believe it!" Seina barked, as she was with Cecelia, in the dining hall, "There's NO way that these two are a couple!"
Cecelia told her about Asahi and Jamie. She replied, "I know. They came late, when they were returning. There's got to be a reason. I mean, this isn't like those Twilight movies. It's real."
Seina remarked, "Yeah, but this is Asahi Sakurai we're dealing with. She's the definition of "Teacher's Bummer in School"."
"Teacher's Bummer in School?!"
"NO class. Asahi is dull as driftwood. She may be a classy and hot idol, but she is a very shy girl."
"She's not shy, when Steven and his friends met her. She only joined The Losers, because Farra is pregnant. I'm proud of that. Asahi is a wonderful pop idol… but overall, I don't believe a word about her, dating Kandy's ex."
"Well, where's the proof to it?"
"I have none. But they were lying. They came late, and all of a sudden, they felt awkward."
"Awkwardness… It leads to trouble."
Cecelia then asked, "So, what about you? What do you think about all this?"
Seina said, "Well, I don't approve of Steven dating Kandy… but I do approve of Jamie dating Asahi. After all, he left her, only because that gun-toting maniac is after him. In fact, the Covert Squad has had many tabloids of this beast. But none of them are true."
"Which tabloid did you read?"
"The Miyagami Gazette, The New York Times, USA Today, but they never made the front page."
Cecelia remarked, "Maybe it's in the UK. The guy said that he hunted Jamie down, following their first date."
Seina thought, "True… I wonder what he wanted from him."

One hour later, Steven left to go to breakfast, as Kandy was going to see Jamie. However, she found a "Do NOT Disturb" sign on the doorknob. She thought, "Huh? Do NOT Disturb?!"
She said, "It must be his mood swings. He is a beast."
Steven called, "You coming, Kandy?"
Kandy called back, "In a minute, Sexy Steven! Save me a plate!"
She held the doorknob and turned it. It opened, as she thought, "Oh. It's unlocked. I guess he was expecting me."
She entered the room and looked around. It was clean. She then said, "Hmm… If he were on a wild feral temper, this room would be trashed."
She called out, "Hello? Jamie? Miss Seina? C.C.? Asahi? Anybody?"
She then found a cloth on the ground. It was red.
"A red cloth," she said, "Huh? I recognize that one… It's from Asahi's huge bow on her head."
She entered the bedroom and saw Jamie, sleeping with Asahi. She smiled and said, "Aw… They're sleeping. I guess they were resting up. All the messy hair and clothes. Honestly."
She was about to set the blanket on them, but she then noticed Asahi's blouse, all messed up and unbuttoned. She then saw Jamie, whose shirt was on the floor, as he was sweating a bit. She then tried to figure it out. She stomped her foot and was angry.
"What the Wha!" Kandy yelled, as Jamie woke up.
She scolded, "Jamie! WAKE UP! Why are you sleeping with her? Don't you like me?"
Jamie moaned, as he stretched, "Kandy?"
He gasped, "NO! It's not what you think! Miss Asahi, she-."
Kandy cringed, "Jamie… How could you? I thought you like me…"
He replied, "No, it's okay. She came on to me. She suddenly felt intimate about me. I mean, I'm not those average men you see, you know."
Kandy glared, "Oh, really?"
He got up from bed, as Kandy barked at Asahi, "GET UP! You home-wrecker!"
Asahi moaned and said, "Oh, Miss Kandy…"
She got up, as Kandy scowled, "Miss Asahi! Did you make a pass on Jamie?"
Asahi pleaded, as she understood what she said, "No, please! It was an honest mistake! I told him not to go, all the way, but…"
"You were gonna have sex?"
"NO! I'm not! He just felt scared about the hunter! If he dies, how will he ever find love?"
"But I love him!"
She then barked at the robot, "I love him! You hear me? All these years you had Steven Cooke, yet you neglected him!"
"I was WORRIED about him! If he died, I'd be heartbroken, and Sexy Steven would mend my shattered heart, over death… But YOU?! You had to make out with him?"
He confessed, "No, let me explain."
Kandy yelled, "Stay out of this!"
She turned to Asahi and scolded, "How could you do this to me? I love Jamie! What does he have for your taste?"
Asahi responded, "He's too perfect. I felt uneasy for him, but my heart just opened. I swear, it'll never happen again."
Kandy growled, as she grabbed her arm and was about to slap her, "You clueless skank! YOU CANNOT TAKE HIM!"
Asahi turned away, as Kandy held her hand in anger.
She halted and cringed, "No… I can't… I can't hurt you. Even if you slept with him, I still love him. But I was stuck in Argos, during Miss Miranda's Holiday. But Steven Cooke is still… OH!"
She sobbed, "I'm so confused!"
She smoked from her head, as she shook a bit. He calmed her down and said, "Kandy, calm down."
She cried, "How can I? My first love is dating my boyfriend's bandmate!"
Jamie said, "It's fine. I'm really sorry. If you want, you can hang with me, before the full moon, tonight."
Kandy nodded and said, "I'm sorry. But I'll protect you from that bad man. How's tonight at 8?"
Jamie smiled, as he held her, "You got it."
Asahi asked, "What about me?"
Kandy said, "You can hang with Sexy Steven. I figured I wanted to say something about Jamie, alone."
Asahi nodded and said, "Okay. And also, I'm sorry about dating him… He's so… well-toned."
She pouted, "But… He's really not my type."
Kandy said, "That's fine by you… Now, please leave!"
Asahi left the room, as Kandy hugged Jamie. She responded, "Jamie… Don't ever leave me, again. I just want to see you back, because you were the one for me."
He patted her head and said, "Well, yes. But you're happy with another. It was only a date in Argos."
"But…"
"But nothing. After that date, I wanted to see you again. But he chased me out of Argos. And then, all around England. The guy kept me away from being together with you, only for personal game."
Kandy sobbed, as she started crying, "Oh… Jamie… I was worried sick…"
She wailed, as he held her tight, still crying.
"Jamie… No… Just please stay out of trouble."

That afternoon, Asahi was sitting in the stairway, as Cecelia and Seina returned.
"Oh, Asahi," Seina asked, "What happened to you?"
Asahi wiped her tears and said, "Well… It's about Jamie and me…"
Cecelia smirked, "Lemme guess… You're dating the werewolf?"
Asahi gasped, "How did you know?"
Cecelia gasped, "Huh?"
She cried, "Then it is true! You're in love with him!"
Seina cringed, "No way, Asahi. It's scary, when you think about it."
Asahi replied, "I'm sorry… I should've been honest to you. It's because… I have time for being in the spotlight, but never in the world of romance, unlike you two."
Cecelia blushed, "At least I have a boyfriend."
Seina jeered, "A Jailbird?"
C.C. glared, as Asahi continued, "It's fine. Kandy and Jamie deserves one night. I'll be in Steven's room… But the minute she and him are done, I want him. I don't really care if he's a wolf or not."
She left to Steven's room, as Cecelia thought, "Uh… Was it something I said?"
She asked, "Wait, didn't she say tonight?"
Seina smiled, "It is going to be a full moon, tonight, honey… And all Kandy and Jamie need is love… That's all it needs."
She and Cecelia gasped, as they figured it out, with their eyes wide open and frightened, "FULL MOON?"
Tonight was the full moon. Moon plus werewolf equals TROUBLE!

(Kandy): And now back to "The Gang"…
Outside the hotel, the man with the rifle fell asleep, in his pick-up truck, as he was still waiting for Jamie to return. The sky began to turn dusky, as he was still out. So far, after his affairs with Asahi, he never left the hotel. He woke up and moaned, "Unh… Wha… Huh?"
He grumbled, "Did I miss him?"
He drove off, looking for Jamie. But he didn't know that he was still inside.
One hour later, as the sky was pitch black, Kandy and Jamie sit by the balcony, admiring the night sky.
Kandy said, "It won't be long, before you change."
Jamie responded, "And soon, I may leave the hotel… just to hide."
"Well, Miss Miranda told me that it takes about 28 days to have a Full Moon. One night is good enough."
"Well, yes."
Kandy turned to him and said, "You know what? I was thinking… Steven Cooke was a great guy, but I'm better off with you. He may act like a pushover, but he's a good friend. I wanted to stay with you, since you're back, and I'm here in London."
He said to her, "Oh, you don't want that."
"I do! Jamie, you bite your tongue and listen to me."
"I am."
She kneeled down and held his hand, "How about this? Once that mean hunter is dealt with, I want you to marry me."
He gasped, "K-K-K-Kandy?! Are you being ridiculous? You have a boyfriend!"
"I'm not. I am sorry…"
She turned away and whispered, "Once the hunter is gone, I'm breaking up with Steven… and to have time with you."
She then scolded, "But you are NOT to date anybody else, until then. Miss Asahi is nice and cute, but she's too ambitious!"
Jamie barked, "Are you kidding? She is not! She only made a pass at me, because I'll die, soon!"
Kandy sobbed, "WAIT! She said that she didn't!"
Jamie said, "If it makes you feel better, we didn't have-."
"NO! Don't say it!"
She then shivered in jealousy, "What does Asahi have that I don't?"
He hugged her and said, "Kandy… You know we are of two different worlds. But I can never marry you, since-."
"If it's about kids, we'll adopt. I'm cool with that. Steven told me so, in the first place, after our argument, a while back."
"No, I mean…"
He turned away, as the moon showed a bit, with the clouds moving away.
"Jamie?"

POUND! POUND!
"STEVEN! STEVEN!" Cecelia shrieked, "GET OUT HERE!"
She started to panic, as earlier this afternoon, she found an article that Seina kept.
Seina said, "It's weird, though. A lot of people in England were scared of a werewolf."
She held up a news article that says: "Brighton Wolf Attack kills 6 people – A mysterious blue wolf appeared, mauling six people, four teenagers, a mother, and a father, during a nightly drive to Birmingham. The rumored blue wolf was spotted down the road, wearing tattered beige pants, and with a furry coat, according to a resource from a hunter, who had been searching the elusive werewolf, in the beginning."
Seina said, "Well, the other day, I've heard of Kandy, and this guy I know of has tracked her down. I had the Covert Squad visit England, after we met him. And they told me that he heard of Kandy, because he loved the wolf. And most importantly, he came thoroughly prepared, with silver bullets."
Cecelia asked, "Any PARTICULAR reason WHY he's after him?"
Seina said, "Oh… It's sad to say, but… The hunter was angered by the way that a gynoid and a lycanthrope are a couple. Plus, Kandy Potter is one of Argos' greatest heroes. And, if possible, he said that if she tried to protect him, he'll dismantle her, out of his own anger."
"Why that… heartless loser!" Cecelia shouted, and then gasped, "OH, NO!"
She ran off, as Seina followed, "WAIT! I didn't tell you what happened next!"
Cecelia cried out, "Steven! OPEN THE DAMN DOOR!"
Steven opened it and asked, "C.C., what's wrong?"
Cecelia trembled, "Is Jamie with you?"
Steven replied, "No. He's in the other room with Kandy."
Seina pleaded, "We have to warn Kandy! She's in danger."
Steven asked, "How so?"
Cecelia showed the same article, as Steven read it. He gasped, "No way… Since when?"
Cecelia said, "I don't think you need to know… But that guy we met… He wants to kill him, tonight!"
Steven said, "Well, I don't believe it, but Asahi will have to stay here, just to be sure. Kandy told me that-."
"I heard," Cecelia replied, "And I'm sorry you had to hear it."
"No. Steven Cooke is glad. Besides, Kandy deserves me, rather than Jamie. Let's face it, homies. Jamie needed to be free, and escape from death. In the eyes of everyone, he's considered a freak, but in the eyes of Kandy, he's nice and very shaggy."
Seina pleaded, "Even if it were true, we must warn Kandy."
Asahi appeared and asked, "What happened?"
Cecelia ordered her, "Listen, Wolf-Lover! You are to stay here, and make sure no one gets hurt, in this hotel."
Steven said, "She's right! Asahi, you are in grave danger, because-."
Asahi said, "WAIT! You're saying I am in love with a deranged wolf? No way! I love him, and Kandy does, too! But there's no way that I'll stay and watch the hotel, for any survivors!"
Seina nodded, "You're right… Besides, Kandy cares for Jamie."
Steven said, "He may be a weirdo, but he's still our friend."
Asahi nodded and replied, "Steven… I would ask you this… If Jamie survives, I was wondering if I would ask him for-."
SMASH! ROAR!
Kandy shrieked, from the other room, "AAAAAAAAH!"
Steven cried, "KANDY!"
They all ran to the door, as they tried to open it. The door was locked. Asahi replied, "Uh, Kandy said that she locked the door, so I wouldn't get in."
Cecelia cried, "NOW she tells us!"
Steven slammed the door, trying to break in, as Kandy was screaming in fear. She witnessed Jamie, growing large and turning into a wolf. His fur grew from all over, as his shirt was ripped off, expanding his upper body. His face turned into a wolf's, as his hands became claws. Kandy shrieked, as the Jamie Wolf approached her.
"No… Get away…" she sobbed, "HELP! STEVEN!"
Steven called out, "HANG ON, KANDY!"
Jamie sniffed at her and started to feel happy. He recognized her.
"Kandy…" he snarled.
Kandy was in tears, as she held Jamie, "Jamie…"
She hugged him, as Jamie growled in happiness. However, the door began to pound. Steven was pounding the door, as Jamie leapt out of Kandy. He escaped through the balcony and dived off six stories. Kandy pleaded to him, "JAMIE! WAIT!"
She whimpered, as Jamie escaped through London. Steven broke the door down, as Kandy was on her knees. She was sobbing, as Steven held her.
"Jamie… He thinks you were hunters." She whimpered, "I… I lost him."
Steven pouted, "I'm sorry…"
Cecelia jeered, "You idiot."
Asahi asked, "Where did he go now?"
Kandy said, "I think he went that way…"
The girls agreed to find Jamie. Asahi chose to stay, and try to find the hunter.
"If you see him, distract him," Cecelia said, "More or less, make sure he doesn't find out!"
They ran off, as Asahi returned to her room. But as she got in, the hunter was inside, sitting on the chair. She gasped and said, "AH! What are you doing here?"
The hunter said, "I came in, as soon as you guys left. I returned to the hotel, after a drive-by, and I heard a smashing sound. It was that wolf, on the sixth floor. Now, we have him cornered."
Asahi said, "Why would you hurt him? He hasn't done anything wrong!"
"That wolf is a menace, all around England! I refuse to have him be free, while having to date a robot girl! He killed, on his feral stages, but he'd never kill friendly blokes, like you."
She snuffed, "Well, be that as it may… I don't want anything to happen to him. Steven and Cecelia ordered me to have you with me, without violence. Once we rescue Jamie, you won't hurt him."
He glared at her and said, "You're in love with the wolf, are you?"
Asahi gasped, "Uh… Uh…"
He replied, "I sense it in your feelings. You have a shaken feeling."
She answered, "It's true… It's all true… I kind of love him, but he belongs to Kandy."
"Well, I may hire you, to help. I believe I cannot shoot the beast, meself. So, I figured that you will do it."
Asahi trembled, "No. I won't help you…"
The hunter replied, "Then… Then I'll tell the world that you once dated a ferocious beast and hid it for so long."
Shocked by blackmail, Asahi agreed to join in the hunt, by force. But as she left with the hunter, she thought, "I'm sorry, Kandy."

Outside the dead of night, in London, Jamie continued to scamper off, as many townspeople were screaming, seeing a huge monster running around the streets. Steven, Kandy, Cecelia, and Seina chased after him, but they lost him, through a dark forest.
Cecelia moaned, "This just isn't my day…"
They entered the forest, as they called to him,
"Jamie!"
"Hey, Jamie! You there, Homey?" Steven called out
"Jamie! It's all a mistake!" Kandy called.
"JAMIE! Here, boy!" Seina cried.
"Here, freaky wolf!" Cecelia called.
"Please ignore that remark, Jamie! WHERE ARE YOU?" Kandy shouted.
They continued to walk, as Jamie was hiding in the forest. Elsewhere, the hunter and Asahi were on the other side, waiting for the wolf to come out.
"Now, remember," he told her, "You see him, you aim at his heart. Got it, duck?"
Asahi nodded, as she held up a rifle. She nervously said, "Okay… But I detest guns."
The hunter left and called, "I must get another can of lager. Watch for the werewolf! And also, watch my supply bag. There're some silver bullets for you to load."
He left, as Asahi went to the hunter's bag. She pulled out a bag of silver bullets and gasped. She then placed the small bag in her pocket and put another bag inside. She whispered, "Kandy, I'm sorry… You'll thank me, later."
What did she put inside the bag?
XXXXX
Hours later, the others were exhausted, as they gave up looking for Jamie.
"It's no use," Seina said, "He's long gone…"
Kandy sobbed, "Jamie…"
Steven said, "Chillax, Kandy. He can't have gone too far. Jamie is only hiding, until the day comes."
Seina remarked, "Hang on… I see a town, from here."
They ran to a town, as Jamie was heading there. They saw him, about to enter a city.
"THERE HE IS!" Cecelia cried, "After that wolf!"
Jamie dashed off, on all fours, as the others went after her.
"Jamie! Come back, Jamie!" Kandy cried.
When they arrived, Jamie stopped by the rural city, as Asahi was confronting him, holding a rifle at him. She winked at Jamie and whispered, "It's fine. Don't worry…"
He snarled, "Asahi? Why?"
She responded, "I'm sorry… He forced me to. But the minute I fire, you must-."
The hunter returned and said, "Good work, milady! You have him cornered. Now, off with you. Waste the wolf."
The wolfman growled, "Why? Why do you want Asahi to kill me?"
The hunter shouted, "WHY? I know legends like you! You, a werewolf, can only be killed by a silver bullet, and it must be performed by someone who loves you! And who would ever love you, other than that robot girl of yours? She does. She confessed that she does, and now, she will do it, for me."
Asahi pleaded, "Jamie… I'm sorry… Please run…"
Jamie growled, "You jerk! How dare you use an innocent girl to shoot at me?"
The townspeople appeared, as they hid, seeing Jamie. Asahi aimed her rifle at his heart and said, "Forgive me…"
The hunter shouted, "Yes. Now we have you cornered. No one, not even your friends can save you."
Jamie was traumatized, as he couldn't move. Asahi's finger was on the trigger, as she shivered, "I… I love you… Jamie…"
Steven and the others arrived, as Kandy saw Asahi with a rifle, about to kill Jamie.
"ASAHI! NOOOOOOO!" She shrieked.
BANG!
She missed. She let out a tear and reloaded the rifle.
"Asahi…" Steven said.
Cecelia barked, "You traitor! Why are you doing this?"
Asahi said, "He forced me to, out of blackmail. He said if I don't kill him, my love for him will be announced in the news."
Cecelia growled, "You bastard!"
The hunter smiled, "What can I say? I'm a lot of things. Besides, I'm aware of the fables of these timberwolves. They can only be killed by silver bullets, if they are werewolves. Miss Sakurai loved him, other than Kandy, who would refuse to fire a gun."
Kandy barked, "In Argos, guns are illegal, unless for activities, like target practice and hunting. Pistols are for regulation use only! NOT for murder weapons and firing at people!"
Steven said, "YOU, however, are a bad man! You use guns for sport, which is professional."
The hunter smirked, "Except that she's using it."
Kandy pleaded, "Sir, if you stay away from him, would you leave him alone?"
The hunter said, "Sorry. It's out of me hands. Asahi, you may. And this time, don't miss!"
Asahi pleaded, "I'm sorry, everybody."
She aimed her rifle and said, "Goodbye, Jamie…"
Kandy cringed, "No… Asahi…"
Steven said, "No."
Seina prayed, "Asahi, don't be foolish."
She aimed the rifle and trembled.
"GO ON!" The hunter shouted, "SHOOT HIM!"
She put the rifle down and was crying, "I… I can't do it!"
She wept, "I wanted to help, but it's wrong. Even if they know, it'd be ridiculous. I mean, it's right, if it were an anime episode, but not here!"
Asahi ran to Jamie, as she hugged him. She whispered, "I'm sorry… I didn't want to hurt you."
Seina sighed, "Oh, what a relief."
The hunter picked up the rifle and shouted, "Oh, GIVE ME A BREAK!"
He aimed at Jamie, as he fired.
Asahi shrieked, "NO!"
BANG!
He shot at the wolf, at the heart. He fell dead, as Asahi fell, too, as she was shot in the waist. She was out cold, as Jamie was not moving. However, there was no blood. Cecelia and Kandy ran to them.
"ASAHI!" Kandy shouted, "Jamie! Asahi! NO!"
She shouted at the hunter, "Do you realize what you've done?"
Asahi started to bleed from her waist. She lifted her head up and looked at Kandy. She winked, and then fell dead. Kandy sobbed, as she held Jamie tight. The townspeople were aghast, as the hunter killed not only Jamie, but an innocent woman. He dropped the rifle and was in fear. He then said, "I… I didn't mean to, but I did say that no one must interfere."
Cecelia was in tears, as her eyes trickled with tears, "You bastard! You killed her!"
Steven said, "Asahi's dead, isn't she?"
Kandy sobbed, "Yes. I looked at her face. She wasn't breathing…"
The hunter was horrified. He bowed, as he said, "Forgive me… I really didn't want her dead."
Seina glared, as she approached him, "True. But you did shot at me, the other day."
She called to the people, "Does anybody want to take that wanker into custody?"
Two English Bobbies appeared and grabbed him. One officer asked why they are arresting him. She replied that he shot at a werewolf, but he killed Asahi.
"OH! Trying to shoot at an innocent girl, huh?" The officer asked.
The hunter replied, "True. But, it was an accident!"
Cecelia shouted, "UNTRUE! This loser said that he'll shoot at anybody that will protect Jamie!"
Kandy sobbed, "She's right!"
She stood up and called to the people, "Do you see why I love him? It's because of people like him that makes our romance as a tragedy! He wanted to end my love for Jamie, all because he has killed many people! But he's not a mean guy! Even as a wolf, he's nice! He told me so, but he would never kill a soul! He did kill, but I don't believe him! I NEVER BELIEVED HIM!"
Seina asked Cecelia, "Should we tell her?"
Cecelia whispered, "If she doesn't know, we're better off."
The townspeople were moved, as Kandy continued to pleaded, "Jamie is wonderful! Where were you, when you wanted to care for him? He has no family, no friends, and no life! Why can't you see that? He's… He's so…"
She shook and sparked, as she had tears in her eyes, "But now… He's dead… And I don't know why… but…"
She collapsed and smoked from her body. Steven ran to her, as she was shut down. He cradled her and said, "KANDY! KANDY! WAKE UP!"
He hugged her and said, "See what your violent hunting skills has done? You broke her heart, and her circuits! YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELF!"
The hunter was upset, as he pouted, "You're right… I shouldn't have been so reckless. But Kandy's breaking down was her doing. I inadvertently killed your friend… and her boyfriend. You're right. If you love him, it's like… well… It's like you wanted to protect him."
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry. I should've known from the start, after I was thinking about killing, other than love. I only want him dead, because he's a scourge of destruction. But both the robot and girl loved him, and I was a fool. Mister Cooke, please forgive me for hurting Jamie and Asahi. Also, please give her my regards."
He then barked, "But I'd like to know… What do you like about this android?"
Steven smiled, "Isn't it obvious? Steven Cooke likes honest people… including the ones that say that they love you."
He hugged a motionless Kandy, as the officers took the hunter away, "Alright, sonny, let's go. It's the pen for you."
The hunter asked, "Wait… Let me apologize to the robot, if she wakes up, for hurting the wolf."
Cecelia said, "Once she's fixed, she'll come visit you. Of course, she won't forgive you, for killing Asahi."
The hunter said, "Thank you."
The officers took him away, as one of them addressed to the people to clear the area.
As everyone left, Steven kissed Kandy on the lips, and started to cry. Kandy's arm tugged at his sleeve and opened her eyes. She whispered, "Steven…"
Steven laughed, "Kandy…"
They hugged, as Cecelia smiled, "It's a miracle. She's alive!"
Kandy said, "C.C., I only shorted out, after I was hurt. But then I rebooted. What happened?"
Steven said, "I'll explain later, babe. Right now, let's go home."
Kandy gasped, "What about Jamie? He's dead, isn't he?"
Asahi moaned, as she was motionless, "Are they gone?"
Everyone gasped, as she and Jamie got up. Seina gasped, as Cecelia was confused.
"JAMIE!" Kandy cheered.
She hugged him, as he said, "I'm fine… Asahi played that hunter for a fool."
Cecelia cried, "But that's impossible! Asahi, we saw you dead!"
Asahi smiled, "Well, I knew he would kill him. So, Jamie and I orchestrated this plan."
She explained about what she did.
Asahi dug through the backpack of the hunter and pulled out the bullets. She placed them in her pocket and replaced them with blank cartridges. After that, she reloaded the rifle with the blanks and tossed the bullets into the trash.
When Asahi was shot, she fell to Jamie and whispered quietly, "Play dead…"
She fell to the ground, as they pretended to die.
Cecelia cried, "But… You were bleeding!"
Asahi smiled, as she showed a blood pack in her blouse. She smiled, "Never underestimate an actress from Japan. It worked. We got him for murder."
Seina scolded, "That was careless and stupid of you!"
Kandy barked, "You guys… You got a hunter in jail, after he was reckless for hurting Jamie, and thinking he killed you!"
She then smiled, "But… Thank you."
She hugged Asahi and said, "You saved Jamie. So, thanks."
Asahi smiled, "I'm happy for you. But, can you ever forgive me for kissing him?"
Kandy nodded, "Yes. It was wrong, but I forgive you."
She hugged her and laughed a bit.
Jamie left, as Asahi followed, "Hang on! He's getting away!"
Kandy called to Jamie, "Jamie! Could you wait, out there? I need to speak to you, alone. Asahi will keep you company, but I need to speak to Steven, alone."
Jamie said, "I'll be waiting."
He left, as Asahi said, "Good luck, you two."
Steven asked, "So… What do you want to talk about?"
Kandy said, "Listen, Steven… I know we have been for a while, but…"
She pouted, as Cecelia and Seina went far away.
"We'll be far away," Cecelia said, "Go on."
Kandy said, "Thanks."
She replied, "I don't wanna go back. I have found Jamie, and I am happy for him, now. He's alive and he's back with me. But…"
He patted her head and said, "Well, I understand. Steven Cooke knows when to release someone. You deserve him, more than me."
He hugged her, as Kandy said, "I'm so sorry…"
Cecelia gasped, "They're breaking up?"
Seina giggled to herself, "Yes!"
Kandy kissed him, and then said, "I'm sorry. I must see Jamie. For now, we're done. It's over."
She left, and then said, "Goodbye, Sexy Steven… I'll never forget you."
She went to find Jamie, as Steven was hurt, emotionally, "Darn… I never knew I was dumped by a robot."
Cecelia patted his shoulder and said, "It's okay, Steven. She was good for you, but she found another flame…"
She held him, by the back, and said, "It must've hurt."
He said, "It does…"
Seina then turned her smile into a frown. She said, "Poor Steven…"

Asahi was with Jamie, as she petted him on his blue fur. She said, "So, what will happen now?"
Jamie said, "Well, since the moon is still out, I figured I hide here… and then, leave."
Asahi gasped, "Huh? Why?"
He replied, "It won't be long, before more hunters hunt me down. I belong to my own kind. You see, I am a rare wolf, but…"
Asahi cried, "YOU CAN'T! WHAT ABOUT KANDY?"
She started to produce tears in her eyes, "What about me?"
She cried, as Jamie held her, "It'll be fine… Only…"
Kandy arrived and called to him, "JAMIE!"
He arrived, as Jamie asked, "Kandy? How did you do?"
She was sad. She said, "Well, I wanted to see you again. Steven and I broke up. So, I figured that we can get married now."
She kissed him, but he stopped her. He said, "Kandy. No. It's over. As much as I love you…"
Kandy glared, "Is it because of Asahi?"
Asahi wept, as she cried, "He's leaving! He doesn't want to be here, anymore!"
Kandy gasped, "Is this true? You're joking!"
He replied, "No. I'm not supposed to be here. I act nice towards the people I know, but… Deep down, I'm still a freak."
Asahi continued to cry and sob, as Kandy pleaded, "No. NO! I won't lose you, again! I fear that you may get killed! I am glad you are back, and now we can be together, forever…"
She sobbed, "But now you're leaving me? What will I do? I broke up with Steven Cooke, just for you! Please, don't leave me! You can't…"
He held her tight and said, "No, you must. You see, it wouldn't stop. I'm a blue timberwolf, who is on the endangered species list, but on full moons; you're a robot, with so much heart. If I stay with you, I'd only put you in danger, along with your friend."
"I don't know."
He said, "Look at me. Kandy… Look. I love you. But I cannot stay with you. No matter what, I'll always remember you."
She replied, "Jamie… Forgive me… I know now that it wasn't meant to be…"
They kissed, one last time, as Asahi continued to cry. They stopped, as Kandy said, "Go. Go now, before I change my mind."
Jamie said, "Kandice… I'll always love you… Asahi… take care of her."
Kandy sobbed, "I do, too… I love you, Jamie…"
Asahi sobbed, "Goodbye, Jamie…"
Asahi grabbed his arm and said, "Will… Will I ever see you again? I love you, too!"
Jamie kissed her and said, "Maybe someday… but it's doubtful that I'll visit you."
Asahi smiled, as she wiped her tears, "Jamie… Thank you for the time we had…"
He ran off, on all fours, and disappeared into the forest. Kandy waved goodbye, as she dropped to her knees. She whispered, "Goodbye… forever…"
She placed her hand on her chest and sobbed a bit. Asahi said, "Kandy… I am truthfully sorry."
"Why are you apologizing? You loved him, too, but he was hunted down, by many people that want him dead. He was the first true love I ever had."
"Yeah, but… I did cheat on you."
"He wasn't my boyfriend. He was a crush I had. So, it didn't matter. You wanted him, be my guest."
"But, he is gone."
The wolf howls, as Asahi was saddened, "I'll miss him, too."
She started to cry again, as Kandy hugged her, "Aw, there, there… One day you'll find the one you love."
"You're right… I hope I will, one day…" Asahi asked, "What about you? You and Steven broke up."
Kandy said, "You're right. I should go apologize to him. He's probably at the hotel."
They left to the hotel, as Asahi held herself and said, "Goodbye… Jamie…"
Kandy then groaned, "I can't believe I was dumped by a lycanthrope!"
Back at the hotel, Steven was by the entrance, feeling upset.
"Dumped," he thought, "Now I know how Seina felt."
Kandy arrived, as Asahi went inside. She wanted to speak to him, alone. Meanwhile, Seina and Cecelia were listening on, as Cecelia prayed, "You robot… Please don't break his heart, any further."
Seina smiled in joy, "One last reunion… Now I can ask him to date me, again."
Kandy said, "Steven…"
Steven griped, "Kandy! Why are you here? You said we're through!"
"Yes, I know… and I'm sorry…"
"What happened to your wolf boyfriend?"
"First of all, he's not my boyfriend! And second, he's gone. He left me, only for his safety. I mean, he's a wolf, hunted down by people, and he loves me. But he told me, for my safety, he must leave. He's right. If he's dangerous, as he said, I don't blame him. Jamie is nice, but is still a unique man. I'll never find anyone like him."
She held Steven and said, "I'm sorry I worried over you, and everything that you went through. Please forgive me…"
"Why are you apologizing?" He asked, "Asahi saved you and him. But… She did love him, too, right?"
"Yes."
"That's nice."
He then said, as he wiped her tears, "Steven Cooke will never find another one, like you. I'm sorry…"
Kandy sobbed, "Sexy Steven… Give me another chance."
He turned away, as Kandy was crying. She sobbed, as he thought to himself.
"Kandy… You said that you wanted to see him, but…"
He asked her, "Tell me this! Who do you love more, Steven Cooke or Jamie? Steven Cooke will know if you're honest."
Kandy replied, as she thought for a while, "I… I…"
She smiled, as she wiped her tears, "I love you, Sexy Steven… You were the only one for me, when Jamie was gone. Jamie was my first true love, but he left me, because he's a wolfman. And when you came, my heart was beating for you… and you admitted that you care for me, as an honest girl, rather than a robot. It was like a magical time together… and now… Now I realize that you're the one I love."
Kandy smiled, as she held his hand, "So, tell me? Do you love me?"
He thought hard and said, "Steven Cooke will say this… If it happens again, you let me know. And also, I don't think I may want you, as my girlfriend."
He walked away, as Kandy was sad. She said, "Then… it really is over."
Cecelia sobbed, "No, Steven… Don't…"
Seina giggled evilly, "Now's my chance!"
But then, Steven stopped and turned to Kandy, who was crying. He held her arm and requested, "Kandy Potter… When I said that we're not boyfriend and girlfriend anymore, I meant it. But only for this…"
He held up a diamond ring and said, "Kandy… I'm saying this, since this could be the right moment. Steven Cooke knew this day would come… and hopefully to have Seina leave me alone."
He kneeled down and asked her, "Kandy… Will you marry me?"
Kandy was in tears, as she sobbed, "Sexy Steven… I… I don't get it…"
Steven said, "All I am asking is this. Steven Cooke wants you to be his wife. And after thinking about it, during our trip, and meeting Jamie, I was wondering if you'd say no, so we'd understand."
Kandy took the ring and said, "You want the answer, like that?"
"Yes."
Kandy put the ring on and said, "Steven…"
She hugged him and cried, "Yes! YES! I WILL MARRY YOU!"
They began to kiss, as Kandy laughed, "Sexy Steven… I love you…"
"And I love you, Kandy…"
They continued to kiss, as Cecelia was moved in tears. She whimpered, "Steven… You have made me happy… I'm proud of you, bro."
Seina became angered, because of what transpired, as she banged her head on the wall, many times.
"NO! NO! NO! NO! NO!" She wailed, as Cecelia was annoyed.
"Loser." She huffed.
Steven and his friends finished up the stage, for The Gang to perform in England, coming up. Steven then got a message from Percival that he, Peter, Mizuki, Heather, and Michelle are coming, next week, for a press conference. He decided to stay, until The Gang arrives, before returning to the US. Kandy then said, "It's finished!"
The stage was all steady, with streamers all around. Kandy only finished up the banner, which said "The Gang – in The U.K.".
"I always wanted to see them perform, on the place that started it all," Kandy smiled.
Cecelia said, "They started in Manchester. But you're right. It was just us three."
Steven asked, "Uh, what about Seina? She was supposed to help me with lights."
Cecelia nodded, "I got this. I'll head up the rafters and see if the lights are set up, before the teamsters arrive."
Steven smiled, "Thanks, Sis."
She glared at her brother and added, "But that is it! Next time, find your own help! I've had enough adventures from you!"
She grumbled away, "I never should've stowed away, in the first place…"
Kandy asked, "What's wrong with her? Kandy Potter thinks she is being a bit jealous, since we're engaged."
Steven barked, "Oh, bite your tongue, robot!"
They laughed, as they shared a kiss together. Cecelia looked on, as she was climbing the ladder.
She smiled and said, "I have got to get new friends… But all in all, a happy ending."
She continued to climb up, as they kissed.
At the hotel, Seina was eating some ice cream, still in lovelorn.
"My darling Steven Cooke… engaged," she sobbed, as she saw Steven and Kandy tie the knot.
As she continued to eat, Asahi appeared and said, "Hi. You have a minute?"
Seina said, "Sure. I'm just in sadness, as my crush has a gynoid for a fiancé."
She growled, "Shitface… I hate you…"
Asahi asked, "Why are you eating ice cream?"
Seina replied, "Every time I see Steven with Kandy, I feel heartbroken. When he dumped me, I resorted to this. They say that ice cream is good for break-ups."
Asahi requested, "Then, can I have some? I made out with Jamie, but… He's gone."
Seina gave a small carton of chocolate ice cream to Asahi and said, "Knock yourself out."
They had ice cream together, as Asahi said, holding up a small portion.
"Farewell, my blue wolf…"
Seina giggled, as Asahi had some ice cream.
"Welcome to my world."
"Thanks. Only… don't tell the other Gang members about it." Asahi remarked.
"Oh, I think they might not believe you." Seina replied.
"Okay, then."
