Chi: Ugh, it is totally not okay how long it took me to update. -~- Especially since I know I finished this chapter a while back and apparently I didn't post it. Sorry 'bout that.
Chelsea: I'm still trying to get over the fact we're still alive after the place exploded in the prologue.
Chi: No thanks to you. -.-
Chelsea. D':
Chi: Okay, so I will write more I promise! My brain keeps wandering off and escaping it's prison. So, on with the story! I hope you like it and I apologize for shortness!
July 27
"HELLO! FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO DON'T KNOW ME, I'M CHELSEA ERIC! PLEASED TO MEET YOU!" Chelsea cheered loudly with a wide grin. John watched the scene from farther away. Madoka, Yasuhara, Masako, Mai, and Ayako were formally meeting Chelsea. Monk, Naru, and John already had the introduction. Monk and John were okay with the hyperness. Naru... that didn't work out very well.
"Chelsea Eric, as in the author?" Yasuhara asked curiously.
"YUP! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU KNOW ME!" Chelsea gripped Yasuhara in a very friendly hug despite him being a stranger.
"Try not suffocate them. Were heading towards our next case!" Naru snapped at her. Chelsea let go with tears welling up in her eyes.
"BUT NARUUUUUUUUUU! If I do hurt anybody I can fill in! Besides you just need Ayako here!" Chelsea gripped Ayako tightly.
"So Ayako will be useful for once!" Monk teased.
"So how do you know Naru?" Mai asked before Ayako could say anything. Chelsea gripped Mai's hands and sparkled.
"You must be his current assistant! I was Naru's very first assistant in SPR. But due to certain circumstances, I had to leave. I hope we all get along just perfectly!" Chelsea explained with a smile. Naru felt agitated with the girls attitude. Monk was snickering. Lin turned to Naru wondering how on earth the narcissist had put up with the energetic girl. Lin had only known her for a short period of time. Originally, Naru's parents had Chelsea with him temporarily until Lin could get there. Chelsea had left two weeks after Lin had arrived.
"What do you mean that Naru only needs me?" Ayako wondered. Only Naru and John knew the details.
"YourdealingwithasiteboundspiritthatwillkillachildinthreedaysbecausesaidchildwillcallanotherchildawitchandAyakoisbestwithsiteboundspirits! Thank you for your time!" Chelsea exclaimed her words blurring between one and another.
"It's a site bound spirit." John translated.
"How does she know? We aren't there yet!" Ayako exclaimed.
"Chelsea is one of the few people who can use a portion of a God, Goddess, or Demons powers. She mostly uses the Gods and Goddesses from mythology since they were a religion once. It's helped her become more aware of ghosts. Where their from or why their there. She also has a weak ability to have visions. Although their rare and usually don't mean anything." Monk explained.
"Wow! But wouldn't that require a lot of strength and energy?" Madoka inquired smiling.
"IT DOES! BUT I HAVE WAAAAAAAAAY TO MUCH ENERGY! AT LEAST THAT'S WHAT EVERYBODY ELSE SAYS!" Chelsea jumped up and down excitedly.
"I can see why." Masako said quietly.
"ANYWAAAAAAY, IT'S BEEN FOREVER MONK!" And with that, Chelsea threw herself on top of Monk giving him a tight hug. "If you'll have any questions, I'm happy to answer!" Chelsea offered without letting go of Monk. Yasuhara pulled a book called, 'Angels of Heaven, Angels of Hell' (John's favorite book).
"Would you mind signing my book?" Yasuhara asked.
"SURE THING! You know this is my favorite book that I've written so far! But I'm working on a even better book! WE'LL RULE THE UNIVERSE MY FRIEND!" Chelsea grabbed Yasuhara in a teddy bear side hold laughing maniacally. A loud crash and Chelsea was unconscious in the ground. Naru found himself happy that he would not have to deal with the excessive energy she held. With some good luck he actually might make it to the church before she woke.
"I am so sorry!" A boy stood over Chelsea with a frying pan that had been severely abused (from Chelsea's fatal cooking attempts). He had a British accent.
"Who are you?" Yasuhara was the first to question him.
"I'm Gale Hirick. In the one who keeps her from doing stuff like she just was. I swear, one these days she'll be kidnapped if this keeps up! For Christ's sake! She could talk you to death or worse!" Gale complained.
"Uh, it's alright. Besides I'm used to it so if we need to I can calm her down." John assured him. Gale gave a poker face before bowing down.
"Teach me wise one how I might calm the girl!" Gale begged and it was truly a sight to behold. A small snap turned everyone's attention back to Chelsea who held up a camera and drinking a sugar-free tea.
"That IS sugar free, right?" Gale looked at her.
"HEY! My assistant should be more respectful! I mean look at Mai here! She's been with Naru for longer than me and he's actually PAYING her!" Chelsea exclaimed waving her hands.
"I fired you and you kept coming back." Naru pointed out.
"... I fail to understand what your point is," Chelsea retorts. Gale groaned.
"It doesn't surprise me that she stayed." John laughed nervously.
"Shouldn't we be going?" Masako asked bitterly. Chelsea looked over at her curious before smiling softly and giving her a tight hug.
"Don't worry! Your only worry about Naru is Mai! Remember? I'm taken, duh!" Chelsea assured her before disappearing into the car.
"How does she do that?" Yasuhara wondered as they all climbed in. Only the ones who could stand Chelsea dared to be in the same car as her. Chelsea was surprisingly calm and focused on writing a book and switching between a stack of books she had put in when nobody was watching. Chelsea moved quickly from writing to drawing sketches and taking pictures of these sketches and emailing them to somebody. Upon arrival all the things she had brought disappeared and Chelsea started shouting with glee.
"I'M BACK!"
Not to John's surprise, a mob of kids appeared squealing with delight. Naru was the first to comment, "At least we won't have anybody bothering us."
By some miracle, Chelsea heard this and gave a sneaky grin and grabbed Naru, "Kids this is my close friend Naru! He is going to play with us! At least he will if he doesn't want any injuries..."
Naru twitched before whispering, "I will sue you if you don't let me go."
Chelsea offered her own fight, "Yes, and I have a lot more people on my side. Besides someone needs to keep the children at bay."
John stepped in here, "I can help out while Naru works on the case."
Chelsea considered the offer before shrugging and letting go of the narcissist, "Fine. Besides it's been awhile since we did get to go and do something together!" Chelsea gently offered her hand to John who accepted before the two were playing with the children.
Monk laughed, "Just goes to show how differently she treats people she does and doesn't like."
Masako looks over the building. A dark spirit fades in and out. Chelsea looks over, a worry knit tightly on her features. She looks back to the kids before leaning over and kissing John on the cheek.
