"Hey Giroro, how would you like to have lunch with me? Everyone is gone and food would taste so much better if I had some company... I couldn't help but realize that you've been working out for a long time. You hadn't had something to eat have you?" Natsumi asked.

Giroro thought he was about to have a heart attack on the spot or that it was a dream. Maybe it was another tv show and there were cameras all around once again. "Keroro better not have something to do with this again! I'm already pissed off at him already," Giroro Thought. Maybe Kululu had something to do with this as well… It was too awesome to be true! He had to decline before it's too late or he'll regret it.

"S-sure, I'd l-love to," Giroro immediately said. What the hell? I was supposed to declined! Why didn't I? {because you want to eat lunch with her like you always dreamed. Hey your wish came true ya know!}

"Good, but you'll have to help me make lunch, so go ahead and get clean up then meet me in the kitchen," Natsumi winked as she grabbed the bag and started to walk to the kitchen.

"Of c-course I'll h-help you out!" again he said it too fast "besides as my dad used to say "you gotta work for your food if you want to eat" well something between those lines" Giroro explained. Natsumi turned around and smiled, then continuing to her distention.

As soon as Natsumi was out of the room his legs gave up on him and his whole body was shaking. 'Is this true? Is this really happening? This is the best day of my life! Get a grip of your self solider!' he yelled at himself as got his footing back and went to his tent to get clean up. {After his quick clean up later…} As soon as he was done he headed to the kitchen just like she requested.

"Giroro reporting to duty," he saluted.

Natsumi couldn't help but chuckle. He sure knew how to make her smile and make her feel safe whenever he was around. "You can start by chopping the veggies while I start to cut the meat" Natsumi instructed. Of course Giroro happily did the job without complaining. He did mention that he could care less where he was as long as his warrior princess was by his side. {which you happen to cross out in your journal}

"W-what are w-we making?" he asked.

"That's for me to know and for you to find out," she smirked. She was enjoying his help. He didn't complain nor look like he was dragging his feet while doing this. He looked as if he was happy just being here right next to her... Nah he couldn't be... Could he? {oh, looks like she's catching up}

{After what seemed to be a couple of hours the house was filled with a delicious scent of food made by Natsumi and Giroro. The table was set and the food has been served. Giroro had taken the seat right next to his beloved and had enjoyed his meal. There was little talk but it looked like none of them cared. It was such a cute sight. After lunch they started to clean up, and Giroro offered to do the dishes while she dried and put them away. By the time everything was clean and soon they headed to the living room}

"So what are you going to do?" Natsumi asked.

"Well its only 17:12, if you want I can start on dessert early if you won't mind if it ruins your dinner," Giroro suggested.

"Ruin dinner or sweet potato's... Do you really need to ask?" Natsumi teased him. Making Giroro blush even though she didn't noticed.

"Alright, I'll go ahead and start the fire then..." he started to head out.

"Wait!" Natsumi shouted after him. He stopped and looked at her confused. "uhh, if you don't mind, can I help?" she offered.

"its alright, but I'd..." be stopped him self before saying anything more... Should I risk it? "Irather have you keep me company while I do the rest," he blushed... He couldn't believe that he said it without stumbling on his words! A new record!

"... That was really cheesy of you" she laughed a bit, only trying to hide her blush. Why was I blushing? Was it because someone had said it to me for the first time? Yeah maybe that was it... I hope Saburo would say that to me one day' she thought about Saburo and try to imagine him saying something like that but instead Giroro's image had appear instead of Saburo. Wth? She wonderd.

Giroro was looking at her as if she was having second thoughts... Maybe he shouldn't have risked it... What noob move.

"Yeah, I'll meet you there while I dress for something warmer if you don't mind," Natsumi smiled

Giroro was shocked at her answer but he was extremely happy at the same time. "that's cool... Uhh.. Soo... Uhh.. Yeah... I'll meet you outside then.. Uhh.. Yeah" Giroro said as he scratched the back of his head.

"cool... See ya in a second," she heads upstairs.

"uhh Alright," Giroro responded as his face got bright pink and stumbled his way to his tent.

Natsumi was in front of her door and stopped right there. Her gut told her to run away and to stay away from there until Giroro was by her side."I'm just being crazy… I know that Giroro would be here right away if I was ever in trouble," She thought. She put her hand on the door knob and entered her room even though her gut was screaming at her telling her not to enter. The room was dark and her curtains were close. "Huh, I thought that I left my curtains open so there would be sunshine in here… then again I must have forgotten to open them since I left the house quickly so I wouldn't miss that sale…"She ponders. She enters her room and walks straight to her lamp. As she reaches for the switch the door behind her shuts making her yelp. Then all of a sudden she felt something grab her mouth making her unable to scream.

"Why hello sweetheart," a voice whispered to her ear making her shiver.

{Oh Snap…}

In the mean time Giroro went outside and quickly started to set everything fast so there wouldn't be any waiting. He was so excited that he made a couple of mistakes like tripping but he caught himself. By the time he was done and was out of breath... Strange, shouldn't Natsumi be here by now?" He thought.

{Maybe she is having a little trouble picking out something warm... You know how girls are trying to match their clothes... Even though I know what's really going on and stuff.}

Giroro looked around... Crap, I didn't realize I didn't have my guard up since Natsumi had come home... He didn't hear any screaming even if he did he'd know right away when she was in trouble even if it was a small tiny yelp. He looked at her window and realized that the curtains were close something that rarely happens when the sun's still out. He used his ears and heard someone... yelp? No, not just any yelp but her's.

Now he was for sure that something was wrong... He suddenly went to combat mode and started to dash to her room. Just as he was about to barge into her room a scream he vow he'd wouldn't ever forget, had came from the other side of the door. He tackled the door down breaking it and right in front of him was an alien from another planet.

His skin was green, the shape of his head was of a tear drop, with a blue and purple checkered suit with a silver tie. He would of look like a human if it weren't for his head, those... Bloody red snake like eyes starring at him... And his stretchy wiggly or snake like arm around… around HIS NATSUMI!

"Let her go or you're going to wish you had never stepped into the living world..." he pointed his gun at him, with the eyes of a killer.

Natsumi was too scared to say anything or even notice his eyes. 'Giroro! I knew he would come!' she happily thought.

"Really? You're going to challenge me? The amazing Rick! I'm twice your size for crying out loud! It'll take a whole army of your kind to kill me! Tell me your joking," Rick mocked Giroro. He saw a bright pink flash zoom past him as he suddenly felt a sharp hot sting on his left cheek. Had he just been shot at?

"this is your last warning!" Giroro barked. "let the girl go and you just might live afterward... This time I won't miss," he knew he should of just killed him. One of the biggest rules in the battle field was not to hesitate. It could cause your life. But he couldn't kill him in front of Natsumi's eyes, she was too innocent for this.

"You just shot me? Your going to regret that frog!" Rick slit his eyes as his face turned red. All of a sudden there was a sound of ripping clothes and a snake like arm like the one he was holding onto Natsumi had come out of the back of his back. He exhaled as he smirked showing those nasty yellow pointy teeth. Natsumi yelp as his new green arm covered in a yellow nasty slime was rubbing against her chin and cheek.

Giroro at that moment had enough! No one was going to touch his warrior princess! He was full aware that Natsumi hated slugs and slime. He then began to charge at Rick with his full speed. Rick's third arm was coming at him and was about to whip him. Giroro side stepped to the left and shot a bullet at his arm causing it to sizzle.

"you bas*erd!" he shouted. His arm regenerated with spicks on it. Instead of aiming for Giroro, he aimed for the light. As Rick made contact with the lights, making sparks fly everywhere causing the room to go dark. Because it was getting dark outside, and Natsumi having thick curtains to block out most of the light making her room completely dark.

"crap... I can't see a damn thing!" Giroro mumbled. 'good thing I know the layout of her room, I could use that as an advantage' he thought to himself.

"I may be new to this room but I have night vision," by the sound of his voice he probably had a smirk on his face.

"fu*ck" he swore. Wait a minute, I have my amazing hearing. He closed his eyes since they were no use and took a deep breath. He started to use his ears as he blocked out the noises outside Natsumi's room and forced on the foot steps and breathing... 'Heh, check mate' he thought. He then pointed his gun at that direction and shot.

He heard Rick swear. Meaning he had hurt Rick. But it was soon covered by a high pitch scream, causing him to panic. "Natsumi!" He shouted. All of a sudden he heard a snapping sound and felt great pain at his right side being pushed against one of her walls. "Arg!" he couldn't help but scream in pain as something point had stabbed both of his sides.

"Giroro! Ar-" she was cut off from the tight squeeze Rick was giving her, making her whimper.

"ha ha ha! Oh the beautiful sound of your pain!" Rick laughs.

"Natsumi... Hang on.." he said as he was trying to feel his surroundings... He felt the pain from his left side and noticed it was something that belonged to Natsumi but wasn't sure what it was. But it sure was fu*king pointy that it had to stab him making him bleed. To his right was Rick's arm with spicks! As Rick was laughing too hard he didn't realize that Giroro was holding onto his arm.

'Think! Damn it think!' he shouted at him self. 'you can't see, and before you are able to attack he's going to strike... A weapon that gives out light but what?'

"Giroro... Help..."Natsumi said weakly... She was too tired for some odd reason to try and with Rick holding her to tight, taking out the air in her making it worst.

"Natsumi... don't give up... Your a warrior!" Giroro plead... 'That's right! I forgot that weapon summoning I can use!' He summoned out that beam sword and activated bring out some light to the room enough for him to see.

"Where the hell did that come from?" Rick was shock. Next thing you know his hand gets cut off by his sword. As soon as he was free he began to run towards him while slicing his arm in half as he makes his way towards him. The Red frog jumps off the ground cutting off his other arm he was using holding Natsumi with. Rick lets out a horrible scream.

Giroro unwraps her from his arm and grabs Natsumi. Even for his size he was able to carry her without trouble for he was still in his combat mode and he'd risk anything to save her. While Rick was still in pain, Giroro ran to the window using his sword to break the it, and jumps out of it, and landed on the edge of porch. He took out a grenade and throws it inside the room. 'She's going to kill me for destroying her room... Im sorry, I'll make it up to you sweetheart...' Giroro thought as he jumped off the ledge.

Giroro then summoned out his flying machine to help him with the landing. He would of used it to flee and find a safe place for Natsumi but Kululu hadn't updated the system so he is unable to carry something heavy without crashing down on him. As soon as he touched the ground there was an explosion at Natsumi's room. He didn't bothered to look back as he started to run towards the front door.

"Natsumi! Speak to me! Are you alright!" Giroro shouted

"Giroro..." she smiled for a bit and looked up while still in his arms. "wh-what happen to my room?" she wandered

"I'm sorry I'll make it up for you, I promise... I had to blow it up with him in there..." Giroro explained.

"I'll hold you up to your promise," Natsumi mumbled. She was too tired to be mad.

"stay with me! What did he do to you?" Giroro panicked

"I don't know... I felt something poke me at the back of my neck... And I feel so... tired..." Natsumi drifted off on her words... "But I hurt... I feel as if... I'm burning inside... It hurts..." she whimpered.

Giroro set her on the ground as soon as they reached the front yard. He knew it wasn't the comfiest place but he was worried about her and wanted to check it out before it had gotten worst. He turned her neck so he could have a better view. If it was earlier he would have been blushing and maybe having a noes bleed but right now wasn't the time. He then noticed there was some black liquid oozing out.

"HE injected something in you! I have to get it out! I don't want to find out was he stuffed into you! But how?" he was looking around. That's when it hit him:

when he was with his older brother taking a walk out in the woods for some training he was bitten by a poisonous bug on his wrist. His brother moving fast he killed the bug and grabbed his wrist. He couldn't tie it up so the poison wouldn't spread and take him to a hospital since they were so far and by the time they got there Giroro would have been dead. So instead he leaned in and started to suck out the poison and then spit it out on the ground which was some very light green mixed with his saliva. Little Giroro Felt better as he saw his older brother rise his mouth with some water from his water bottle.

"Hold on..." he leaned in forward and put his mouth on top of her small wound, being careful not to bite her with his pointy teeth. He started to suck and had tasted a bit of her blood but also some sour disgusting unexplainable taste. He spat it out and went for another go.

Natsumi was feeling less tired as the pain had left... Instead she felt something warm against her neck.
