Charon already had breakfast set up. "Uzura! Haven't seen you in a while!" "Charon-san. Zura!" "Charon, you could have kept her downstairs. I don't like waking up to drum banging." Fakir looked down at Ahiru. "Neither does Ahiru." "Well Fakir, if Ahiru doesn't like it, then I must listen to you!" Charon gave Fakir an amused glance.

Fakir couldn't hide his surprise at Charon's sudden statement fast enough. "What?! What's wrong with caring for a friend?" Fakir quickly looked away. "Quack?" "Here Ahiru, have some bread rolls." Charon turned to Fakir. "We're out of rolls." Can you go down to the town and get some? Besides, it'll do you good to get out. All you do now is write and go to the lake." "What's wrong with going to the lake?! Ahiru likes- A lot of creativity could be found at the lake." "Right Fakir, just get going." After a hasty breakfast, Fakir goes to town, reluctantly, for shopping. Ahiru of course goes with him, but Uzura also follows.

"Yes Uzura! Go with Fakir! We have to get the story moving along don't we? The Prince and Princess appear in one of his gears. I think it's also time for you two to drop in also!" Drosslemeyer now has only his brown-crazed eyes showing. "Let the fun begin!"

Fakir was now in town, trying to shop without the ever-present fangirl troupe following him. "Now Ahiru, if we just go in quickly, buy quickly, and leave quickly, everything will be okay. Ughh. What am I saying?" Fakir now remembers the last time he got caught in the "vicious" clutches of the troupe. Ahiru was almost trampled! His best cloak was also ripped in the process. "Now if we just draw no attention…" "FAKIR-ZURA! WHY ARE YOU HIDING BEHIND THE CART-ZURA?" "Who invited her to come along?!" "Quack!" The ground began to rumble. "Earthquake-zura?"

All of a sudden all the girls at Kinkan Academy were closing in on Fakir. "FAKIR-SAMA! OH FAKIR, GO OUT WITH ME! FAKIR!!!!!!!!!!!" Before he knew what happened Fakir was trampled by the Troupe. Ahiru also flew out of his hands. Luckily, she was caught by an old friend.

"Okay girls, let Fakir breathe, a certain Prince Mytho said. "LOOK! IT'S MYTHO! AIIIIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!" Rue just glared daggers at the girls. "He's mine." "Alright girls, come on." Mytho was shooing them away. "Fakir's already taken." "WHAT!!!!!!!!!????? NO!" Pike and Lillie were part of the group. "Who's the girl? I'll fight her!" Lillie proclaimed. "Uhhhh." Mytho seemed lost for words. "Uhh. Oh! A girl named Ahiru!" This time, both the girls AND Fakir yelled, "WHAT???!!!"

Eventually the girls left. "You know they'll come back." Rue told Mytho. "Yeah, but for now he's safe. Fakir? Are you okay?"

Fakir had kept the same position since Mytho mentioned Ahiru. Red blushed face, slight eye movement. "Fakir? I was only kidding. I had to think of someone." Rue smiled sweetly. "Of course, it could be true Mytho. Maybe our Fakir does LOVE little Ahiru." Rue continues to annoy Fakir with this. "Fakir and Ahiru, sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I." "Take, that, BACK!" Fakir had Rue pinned against a wall. "Now Fakir, calm down, Rue obviously didn't mean it." "Yeah Fakir, I was only kidding."

"Now let's get your shopping done. Rue and I didn't come here out of the blue! "Ahiru was now looking at Fakir. "Quack?" Why did he take what Rue said so seriously? Even I knew Rue was making fun. Uzura scooped up Ahiru, and went off to follow Rue, Mytho, and Fakir.

That's all the time we have for today. What story is awaiting us? A happy story? A sad story? Or maybe...
