Penguin: Okay, before you kill me, I- *gets shot dead*

Kaite-chan: Hello! I'm one of Penguin-senpai's (very few) friends, and I bludgeoned her with a cactus until she wrote a new chapter! Yay me!

Anyway, from now on, I'll use violence to get Penguin-senpai to update, so hakuna matata, readers! Well, I'm sure Senpai has some bull-shit excuses (lies) for not updating, so- *uses mermaid magic to revive Penguin*

Penguin: *glares at Kaite-chan* As Kaite-chan was saying, I have excuses for not updating: Summer started, writer's block, and a Narutard-phase, pretty much. So, gomen for not updating; I'll try to do so more often. Bye!


Okay, walking through this dark forest was really boring; so boring, in fact, that Inner and I started playing 20 Questions. Sadly, the only thing she ever thought of were Black the sex-god, White the sex-god, and those damn ab-obstructing shirts. Not very fun, I can assure you.

I sighed boredly and shortly played with Black of the Hotness's whip like a cat toy; I say shortly because 1: it wasn't above me, and that's really the only way those toys are fun; 2: it was kinda heavy and not bouncy at all; 3: there was a metal, slicey-thing on the tip, and I couldn't concentrate on not hitting it through Inner's rant about Mr. Smex White and Sr. Sexy Black's hotness.

I sighed, again, and tried to tune her out, but all I could hear was, Black and White are hot, and you know it, bitch, and BLAH BLAH BLAH INNER-TASTIC HOTNESS-RANT.

Inner.

-I mean, come on, they're twins! And sooo hot, and-

Inner.

-with whipped-cream and-

Inner!

-yellow submarine-

Inner!

-Mickey Mouse-

INNER!

...

Inner?

... Yes?

SHUT THE HELL UP!

She pouted moodily, kicking the ground childishly and muttering a petulant 'fine'.

I rolled my eyes and noticed that I had walked into a clearing. It was grassy, and oval-shaped, and... clear? Well, you get the picture, hmm? Anyhoo, on the other side of the oh-so-clear clearing, I spotted something shiny, and, as everyone know, a Jezebel must go after a shiny, no?

I skipped over with a grin (Inner finally shut up!), skidding to a stop right in front of the shiny. Bending over, I picked it up and noticed that it wasn't just a shiny; it was a ticky shiny! But, it wasn't ticking... I was just about to shake it next to my ear when someone slammed me into the tree located oh-so-conveniently in front of me. The person-man-alien-rapist-thing flipped me around me around, taking advantage of my dazed state and pushing an arm against my neck-chest-area; he had effectively pinned me to a tree, my feet dangling about a foot off the ground, in four seconds.

Snaps to him.

"What were you planning on doing with that clock?" I blinked at his obviously stupid question; it was this way for several reasons: it was a ticky shiny, not a dumb clock, I was obviously planning on shaking it next to my ear (before he had so rudely interrupted by ramming into me like a raging ostritch), and I couldn't answer because Inner was ranting about how sexy his voice (and face) was.

Honestly, some people are so weird.

Anyhow, I stretched forward and licked his nose, effectively silencing Inner (What... the hell?) so I could chirp: "Nothin'~!" I smiled innocently and set out some shoujo sparkles, too.

He seemed to sigh in relief as he let go of me. "Phew, well isn't that a good thing~! Well, I'm Ace~!" He put the clock into a pocket on his jacket... thing and outstretched a hand to me. I, being awesome (Pfffft!), grabbed it and did that cool-guy, manly fist-bump. Yeah.

"Nice to meet ya', Ace! I'm Jezebel!" If this guy wanted a clueless and cute idiot battle, he'd get one, dammit! Even if our squiggle supply is low... ~! Maybe we can just steal his! MWUAHAHAHAHA!

... I... you... No, Jazz, just no.

Screw you, Inner.

Ace hummed and leaned down to my eye-level. "Say, Jezebel, you wouldn't happen to be a foreigner, would you?" he asked, stroking his chin and squinting at me.

I remembered White calling me an outsider, and a foreigner sounds like it's the same thing. I beamed at the realization that, yes, I was a foreigner, and, yes, I probably had mass amounts of man candy to ogle. Me gusta. I realized that I should answer (No shit, Sherlock.) and replied with a happy "Yes. Yes, I am."

Really, Jazz, a Phineas and Ferb reference?

Yes, Inner, really.

She rolled her eyes and muttered about me being challenged. Bitch.

Anyway, back to Ace. He grinned at my answer, grabbed my hand, and started leading me off to somewhere, calling "Well, then, you should meet my buddy, Julius~!"

I immediately thought of the purple-haired suitor in Harvest Moon: Animal Parade. I almost giggled; he had always been one of my favorite characters, and meeting him would've been awesome. Sadly, though, Ace's Julius probably wasn't a fashion-savvy game character. Le sigh.

I shook my head; thinking about things back home would not help any home-sickness that may develope.

What's there to complain about; we got man candy, girl. Inner said, eyeing Ace and licking her lips. Now that I took the time to look at him, he was rather handsome... or sexy... or rapeable... or bangable...

Oh, dammit, he was just like the Jokers! With that lightly tanned skin, chocolatey hair falling boyishly into thos blood red eyes, that grin that seemed to hide a thousand secrets.

... You sound like porn! She then cackled at me while I pouted and fretted over what I was going to do; my teenage hormones would barely stay in check with just Black, white, and Ace; there was no chance of me living through this!

Everything's gone to hell in a hand-basket with a big "Fuck you!" bow, hasn't it? Inner mused sagely.

You're not helping!

I wasn't trying to.

Obviously.

She hmph'd and looked away from me; she was probably pouting... again. I mentally eye-rolled and stuffed the hand that wasn't in Ace's in my pocket. Surprisingly, I felt a smooth, glassy-feeling... thing. I fished it out from the marshmallows and was surprised to find a small, crystalline vial, about four inches long, with a strange, reddish-purple liquid being held in it by a heart-shaped stopper.

"Ace?" I called to the man a few feet ahead of me.

"Hmm?"

"What's this?" I asked, holding it out in front of me. He turned around and looked surprised to see the... thing in my hand.

"You haven't taken it yet?" he asked, looking mildly surprised.

"Taken what?"

He ignored me and grinned like a creeper. "You probably won't drink it willingly, right?"

"Uh, no." I mean, even Ace had to know that drinking strange liquids is a no-no. Seriously.

He grinned even more, grabbed the vial, and pulled me into his chest.

My eyes widened. "Hey, buster, back off, will ya-"

I was cut off by Ace kissing me. It was rough, and, as I figured out a moment later, he had done it to force me to drink the liquid.

That bastard!

Shut up and let me enjoy this!

I ignored Inner (as per usual) and started pushing against his chest. His response was to grab both of my wrists in one hand and back me into a tree, pushing me up against it and pinning my wrists above me. The worst part was that I had already drank... drunk... drinked? Whatever.

Anywho, I had already... consumed all of the liquid and he was now just exploring my mouth with his tongue. I went into rage-mode and bit his tongue. He opened his eyes and backed away, still holding me to the tree by my wrists. Once he registered what had happened, he smirked and said slyly "My, Jezebel, I didn't know you were so fiesty."

"Just shut up and take me to Julius." I murmed petulantly. I mean, really, he's ballsy enough to make out with me (when we just met, I might add) and accuse me of being fiesty when I bit his tongue to make him stop! I think not! You never show your balls to Jezebel Marie Anderson, for she's always ready to deliver a swift kick.

Ace brushed off my comment and laughed, grabbing letting me down from the tree (yet keeping hold of one of my hands) and (hopefully) leading me to Julius.

I grumbled and angsted as I let him drag me along. I really am too lazy.


Penguin: Whew, done! Again, sorry for not updating. Kaite-chan will make sure I'm better about it, for cereals.

Anyway, hope ya liked it!

Huggles and glomps,

Penguin~
