FE Frog: Was I the only one affected by that little shut down on Fanfiction? I meant to have this out 5 days ago! Anyway. This chapter, in my opinion, isn't the greatest. It just spruces up for the plot, really.... Filler. HAte those. But, it does have some meaning, so it's... worth reading, if you like this story.

Thanks be to.......
God- for always being there for everyone!
spygirly- Well, just for being there and giving me some critic!
Percussion Obsessed- (I was gonna PM you back, but they had the little shut down thing for logging in...) Giving me some ideas and stuff.
FireEdge- I tried even harder to get rid of typos her. Although, i make so many, i probably missed some.... :(
Rini Tsukino- More... what's the word I'm looking for? SHit... Hate it when i do this.... Uh.... Inspiration! That5's it! FOr inspiration and just reviewing altogether!
chayaa-chan- I explained the country-accent part a little but here. It's going away. You know, oddly, I have the same problem with my french. i hate speaking french 'cause I speak it with a german accent! Weird.
Arbella-Scott- Virtual school? Huh? Anyway, I'm glad you liked that line! It just popped into my head at some random point, so I put it in.
and finally! Chef Collette!- Glad you liked the chapter!

Obviously I don't own it. Who does other than Intelligent systems and Nintendo? it'd be pretty cool if someone who did own it wrote something up for it though....

Anyway. My birdies come back in! They don't really have any meaning in here, just for one of those side jokes. You'll see what I'm getting at near the end. Now... Have fun reading!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!1

Nephenee was in her room, hunched over the laptop. Yeah, you probably guessed it. Studying.

It had been 4 days since her last encounter with the blue haired god in the grocery store.

Now she was focused on schoolwork. That's the reason she came, no? Calill didn't think so. Big cities to her meant big hunks to flirt around with.

Nephenee looked up at the sound of a knock on her door, "Yeah?"

Marcia came in, closing the door behind her.

"Can I help you?" Neph asked, slightly confused. Marcia wasn't around as much as the annoying Calill was, therefore, the turquoise haired girl wasn't as accustomed to her.

"Calill's done it again."

"Done what?"

Marcia sat down on the small, messy bed in the middle of the room, "She went out last night with Largo, then decided to invite him here for dinner!"

"And?"

"Largo isn't coming alone. He's bringing his roommate along."

Why was Marcia so worried? There wasn't much that could go wrong… Okay, Largo was pretty loud-mouthed, just like his friend, but other than that… Nephenee shook her head and began typing something into the small computer.

"Nephenee… Could you please cook! Calill's food is horrible, and I don't know how. Please…"

"Now I see what this is about. Is that all you wanted?"

She smiled and nodded.

Nephenee closed the laptop and got up from her chair at the desk, "Fine. What do you want to eat?"

The pink-haired girl thought, "Uh… Can you cook salmon?"

"I guess."

"Good. That'd be perfect. Calill loves salmon."

-oOo-

Nephenee pressed some buttons on the oven interface. The fish was almost ready. She turned and got some plates out of the cupboard and set them on the table. 4 places.

"Aren't you missing someone?" Marcia asked from the living room. She watched as Nephenee put the cutlery beside each plate, "There are two people coming, not one."

"I know. I don't want to eat with you guys."

"Don't you think that's a bit much? Why are you always avoiding everyone?"

Neph bit her bottom lip. Why did she avoid everyone? It all started when she had the thickest accent in school. She never raided her hand to answer a question, worrying that somebody might here her. She never talked to Now, the accent slowly faded… She was shy nonetheless.

She went back into the kitchen and checked on the fish. Okay… Looks good so far!

A bang on the wall made her jump.

"What on earth was that?" Marcia asked.

Nephenee went to the door and looked out into the hall. The same tanned man from the plane was knocking on the door the dorm next door.

"Naesala… Hurry up! We'll be late!" the dark haired guy hissed.

"One moment, Tibarn!"

Nephenee blinked. Again?

The man saw her, "Sorry 'bout that. Am I bothering you?"

"N-no… There was just a bang on the wall… again."

"NAESALA!!!!"

Nephenee quickly slipped into her own dorm again.

"So… did you find the culprit?" Marcia asked, her eyes glued to the page pf a book.

"Yeah. Just these two guys I saw on the plane."

"Names." She demanded.

"Tibarn and Naesala, why?"

There was a chuckle, "Those guys aren't exactly noble… They're royal. I wonder what they were doing out there?"

"One was in the room. The cause of the bang."

Marcia nodded and put the book down, "Naesala, I'm guessing. Yeah, he's known for that. Quite the ladies man. The other…" she sighed.

"Geez, this school is crawlin' with royals!" Nephenee turned the oven off, and pulled out the big lump of tinfoil.

"That smells good!" Marcia sniffed. She sat down on a chair, "Yup. This is a school for the rich. Even Daien's here!"

"Don't they have their own University?"

"Yeah, but this one's better."

Nephenee rolled her eyes, "That makes sense all right…"

"What is that I smell?"

The two girls in the kitchen cringed.

Calill poked her head through the doorway, "Nephenee! Is that… salmon?!"

"Of course not…" Marcia muttered.

The blonde raised an eyebrow, "I didn't know you could cook so well."

"She can cook better than you!
Marcia chuckled.

Nephenee let out a little laugh as well.

Calill ignored her, "Our guests are here, so you finished right on time." She went into the cupboard and grabbed an extra plate.

"What do you need that plate for?" the turquoise-haired one asked.

"Marcia forgot to tell you that I invited two people, not one, dear."

She paled, "I'm… Not hungry…"

"Don't be ridiculous. Bring that out!"

Nephenee quickly grabbed the hat she had put on the counter and slipped it on. She took the platter and went into the dining room, her head down.

The room grew hotter. Nephenee was sweating as she brought the fish into the dining room/rest of the apartment-dorm. Her gaze wandered under the rim of the hat and at the two people who had come. Largo and…

Marcia dove forward to catch the platter, making a lucky save, "Nephenee? Are you alright?" She asked as she stood.

The farm girl didn't hear anything around her. Why, Goddess? Why must you curse me so? she thought when her eyes met the blue ones of that perfect man.

Geoffrey chuckled, "Well… I believe you forgot these at the grocery store." He held up a carton of eggs.

Her face went beet red. Her brain was telling her to flee. Run as fast as her legs could take her! But, that was the problem. He legs were to busy trembling to even think of moving.

"You saw each other at the grocery store?" Calill asked with a little smile that showed she was thinking up a plan.

"That's not the only place. I keep bumping into her."

Largo hit him on the back, "Maybe something's a-coming!"

His comment only made her face turn more red, if that was even possible. She gulped and forced herself to sit down. Brave. Be brave. They're not making jokes about you. Nobody ever was. Brave… brave… brave… What the hell? I can't be brave! No… I have to… UGH! Her face changed in expressions as she fought herself in her head. Once she finally came back to reality, she found everyone staring at her strangely.

"Are you okay?" Marcia asked again, this time sounding as though she already knew the answer.

"Uh… I… don't know." Neph blinked and averted her gaze to her pre-served plate. She swallowed hard, even if there was nothing in her mouth.

Calill, who was unfortunately sitting beside her, yanked the hat from her head, "A lady does not wear her hat at the table."

She let out a squeak. She was embarrassed, in front of the man she had dubbed perfect, along with her two friends and some other guy she hardly knew. She had nothing to cover her face with. All this came together as one. Blackout.

-oOo-

Nephenee rubbed her head as she sat up. Her vision was blurry at first, but as she focused she could see she was still in her own home. She was lying on a couch in the living room. A wet cloth lay in her lap.

"Finally! Neph, you had us scared!"

The turquoise-haired girl looked into s pair of large, blue eyes. No make-up surrounded them, so it was obviously not Calill.

Marcia held out a glass of water, "Drink up." She grabbed a half-eaten apple from the table.

Nephenee drained the glass with ease.

"Sho… Wha happen lash nigh?"

Nephenee blinked.

The pink-haired girl quickly swallowed, "What happened last night? You just fainted right there, right after Calill took off your hat."

The farm-girl felt her cheeks turn pink and she looked down.

"You really need to buck up."

"I know…"

"Why are you always so shy?" Marcia put a hand gently on the other girl's shoulder.

"I… It's the way I talk."

"What's wrong with the way you talk?"

Nephenee sighed, "I used to have a real funny way of speaking. My parents would tease me sometimes, only jokingly though… Then, some people did comment a few years back… Also, my face. It's not as pretty as the other girls…"

"That's all? Nephenee! You're face is beautiful! You're voice, it makes me think of the goddess herself. You're not that bad." She leaned in, "You're better looking than Calill."

Neph smiled, "You're just saying that."

"Maybe a little, but you are beautiful, and I can barely hear an accent in your voice." She pulled the farm girl into a hug, "Is that the only reason you fainted?"

"No…"

"Why else?"

"Geoffrey."

Marcia raised a pink eyebrow, "Geoffrey? Why'd you faint because of him?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. I had to sit beside him on the plane, then he came with the laptop, then I saw him at the grocery store, and now Calill invites him for dinner!"

"You saw him on the plane?"

"Yeah… I had to sit beside him…"

Marcia chuckled, "Calill would be jealous alright!"

"Why?"

"She's had a crush on him since grade 2!"

"Wow…"

"Yeah. So, no worries. Be yourself. Don't cover up that pretty face of yours. Don't be afraid to speak either. You're fine the way you are."

Nephenee smiled once more and hugged her friend, "Thanks."

"No problem! Now… Oh shit! I'm late!" She bounced up from her seat and rushed to her room, coming back out as soon as she left and closed the door behind her.

Nephenee tried to remember if she had a class too. She bounded to her room and clumsily put everything into her bag. I'm late! Shoot!

-oOo-

The people sitting near the door looked back as she entered.

The teacher looked over the rim of his glasses, "Please try not to be late again, miss."

"Sorry, sir!"

"And take off that hat."

This time, Nephenee took it off with pride. She caught a few men around her sneaking a glance and smiled. Marcia was right. Her hair was even up in a ponytail instead of draped over her face.

On the way out of class, someone tapped her on the shoulder. She turned around and let out a squeak. Not so confident then, eh?

"Are you alright?" the blue-haired man asked.

"Uh… Yeah." Nephenee felt her knees trembling again at the sight of him. It was Geoffrey again. But did she tremble in fear, or was it something else? Maybe something more than what she had ever anticipated? Was it… No…

He smiled, revealing those perfect white teeth once more, "Good to hear. I was worried about you." And he left.

She watched him leave, her cheeks turning red once more. But she couldn't help but smile a bit. You silly girl. You have fallen in love with him.

FE Frog:Two chapters ago it was about like-personalities. This time, it's about names. Has anyone ever actually tried looking up their names? I jsut got into it after seeing them in some books and stuff.

Gawain comes from the Knights of the round table. Him and his brother Gareth, who is also a chartacter from the games, are nephews of the King. Titania is orginally Shakespearean, and was used for the "Queen of Fairies". Lethe is a river that flows through the underworld, Hades, in greek mythology. In the new Fire Emblem game, SHadow Dragon, they have an Artemis and an Athena, which are both greek goddesses. Lyre is something like a scale... It's a constellation, i think. What else have I seen? Umm.... Right! Rhys is a.... wizard or something in a book i read, but I doubt they got that from there. That book was prbably published afterwards. Hmmm..... Rogth! Micaiah is some dude (yes, i said dude) in the hebrew bible, also known as Micah. Dorcas is another guy from Shakespeare, actually, in shakespear, it's a girl. Merlinus sounds alot like Merlin, so I would assume they may have gotten that from the story of King Arthur aswell. So, as you can see, many of the names weren't just taken from nowhere, they had some origin.... I don't know if you guys knew this already, i jsut thoguth it'd be cool to point it out. And, jsut so you guys know, i don't actually read Shakespear. i only found those bits in movies and stuf that invovled shakespear's stuff. The king arthour bits are from the book 'A Perfect Gentle Knight' where there's lots of bits from there. Two of the characters called themselves 'Sir Gareth" and 'Sir Gawain', so.... yeah. Anyway, if you find anything else, tell me 'bout it! I'd like to see what other names there are in the game. I've seen more than just these ones, but I'm in a rush to get this up.

Anyway, i hoped you liked it! The review button is right there, and i've recieved many-a0hit on this thing (not anywhere near the amount for Annoying Shinon, but it's still alot). BYES for now! Ze frog is out.
