FE Frog: Yaay! I finally posted up again! My beta can't beta me anymore, so I'm doing it myself! There may be a change in some things, so... yeah. As title of chapter suggests, yes, I'm hemophobic (afraid of blood) but only when it's another human being. Like... i don't know any examples. Just, I won't faint (sadly) but I'll only want to puke. And, as title also suggests, annoying comes into play. I did promise some SHinon-'love' with the rubber chicken, so that also comes in! He may be a little OOC... Only when he's asleep. Cheez, did I ever have fun writing that! Anyway... I'll let you read now.

And you guys do know I don't own this, rigth? Good.

A few days past. To be specific, 5. It was two days before my birthday… On Earth.

I woke up, for starters. Nothing irregular there. But… Mist wasn't sitting on her bed, waiting for me to wake up as usual. For the past 4 days, 'I'd' wake up, and then she would… wake me up.

I got dressed and went downstairs. On the way, I passed Boyd.

"Have you seen Rolf around?" he asked me, before I had a chance to ask him my question.

"No. I was about to ask you if you'd seen Mist." My shoulders dropped as I realized what was happening, "Shit." It was chapter two. With the revenge of the bandits' thing, this included kidnapping innocent little kiddies.

"What's wrong?"

I opened my mouth, but Rhys (?) burst in screaming, "MIST AND ROLF HAVE BEEN KIDNAPPED!"

Who knew such a frail guy could get so worked up? It seemed as though everything was opposite now that I entered.

I sighed, "I knew it. They were out picking flowers or something."

Ike charged in, "Mist?! We have to help them!"

"No duh. But I wouldn't think that's such a great idea…" I thought, "Did Titania leave?"

Rhys nodded.

"Good. Then we wait."

Ike gave me the are-you-insane?! look and I rolled my eyes. He shook his head, "If we wait, they could be in serious trouble."

"If we don't, you guys could be! Hasn't it occurred to you that Titania may just be getting reinforcements or something?" I asked, as if they were stupid. In a sense, they were.

Oscar joined in, "But if we do wait, they could get hurt. If we go, the reinforcements would be our backup."

"Sure! You guys go ahead." I leaned against the railing pole at the foot of the stairs, "I'll just watch as you 4 get told off by the boss."

Rhys shuffled his feet and muttered something like, "Titania did ask us to wait…"

Everyone stared at him.

Boyd chuckled, "Hey, Meia! Since you seem to know everything, maybe you could come along and tell us whether we'll win or not? Give us some pointers."

"I'd be glad to, but you see, I got yelled at from my Mom enough back home, I'd rather not get yelled at by a male version that's just 2 times as big. And plus, Greil's got an axe." I sat on the first step and waved, "Have a nice trip!"

-oOo-

I don't know how I ended up on the back of Oscar's horse. They managed to get me to follow them into the deep, dark forests of battle. The idiots! First off, they didn't listen to me and my warnings. Second off, they bring a totally, well… semi-totally, inexperienced combatant with them! I sighed as we reached the fork in the road.

"Great." Boyd huffed, "A split in the road!"

"Take the left fork." I groaned.

"How'd you know the bandit stronghold was that way?" Oscar asked from in front of me.

I sighed again. This was going to be a loooooooooooooong day. I looked down at Ike and Boyd's waiting expressions, "What? I just know!"

The younger boy's shook it off and we continued on our way.

"So…… Why did you bring me again? If you haven't noticed. I don't use weapons!" I complained as Oscar's horse bumped me up and down along the rough road.

"Neither does Rhys, and we're used to protecting him. You can just stand on the sides." Ike called back.

I sighed, "But…"

"Hello?!" Someone called in the distance. Great…. We're here.

Ike tensed, Boyd followed and Oscar's horse took a step back in surprise.

"They're waiting for us." Boyd whispered.

"Good one! Since they were, why are we whispering?" I asked sarcastically. I tended to do that a lot.

"Because, it gives us the element if surprise."

I laughed, "Not with you around, loud-mouth."

I could feel the horse shake as Oscar suppressed a laugh.

Boyd gave me a dirty look before we continued in. Me? I just smiled to myself. At least something good came out of this little…. Excursion.

We made it to the bandit hideout. One of the brutes was standing on a large rock, watching for anyone. They expected us, or at least someone along those lines. That much was obvious.

"Why do you drag me into these kinds of things?!" I whined as we neared.

"Shut your trap!" Boyd snapped.

I just rolled my eyes and slouched in the saddle.

Okay. We were now 50 feet away from the small rock the bandit was standing on, and he hadn't seen us yet. It was only when Ike stupidly stepped on a rather large stick that he realized we were even there. A/N: Just so you know. Script is a little fuzzy. 1. Haven't played for awhile. 2. New character means somewhat new quotes.

"Ha! So ye DID come!" the bandit laughed in a slightly slurred voice. Maybe he had been drinking earlier…

I rolled my eyes.

"Where's yer red-headed friend?" the bandit asked, wiping his mouth. Cause god knows how much he spat as he talked in his messed up voice.

"She didn't come with us." Ike said, in a more boring voice than his father could ever hope to conjure up. Like father, like the better at it son!

The bandit wiped his nose with the back of his axe, "Why would she send a bunch of litter (supposed to be spelled like that. Little.) kids? Hmmm?"

I closed my eyes, this guy was drunk, ugly, stupid and nasty! It's called Kleenex!

The bandit raised his axe without further explanation and a whole other bunch came out of the bushes.

"Great… I told you this wasn't a great idea." I sighed, "But as long as he's the only one that needs to see a doctor, I'm sure it won't be too bad."

Ike looked up, "You should stay with Rhys. He'll be safe behind us, and that means you will too. He can heal you if you DO happen to get hurt."

I looked at him with the biggest, innocent eyes I could muster, "Now, you won't actually let them hurt me, will you?"

"We'll try not to." And with that, Oscar shoved me off his horse and those three were off.

I fell into the brambles, flat on my bottom. "Ow…"

"You okay?" the priest asked, offering a hand. Like he was strong enough to actually help me up…

"Definitely. Cause being shoved off a horse by someone who's supposed to be gentle is perfectly okay…" I rubbed my butt, "That actually hurt."

-oOo-

Several minutes later…

"You feeling alright, Rhys?" I asked. The guy was shivering, his mouth twisted into the obvious curl of fear.

"O-Of c-course I-I a-am." He stuttered.

"Sick?"

"N-No…"

"Scared?"

"Very much so."

I nodded, "They won't let you get killed. At least… I never tried for them to get you killed. You end up being such a powerful unit if worked on."

Rhys gave me the strangest of looks.

"Never mind."

-oOo-

I watched. It was more fun to actually control the game, rather than have Rhys hyperventilate next to me.

"Get over it, Rhys. Obviously, you've been sick too long." I sighed. His only answer was more heavy breathing.

It only got worse when Boyd came over with a big gash in his arm. Even I shuddered. You see, I'm no good with war. I'm, literally, hemophobic, at least to human blood. I swear, I can watch a dissection (on a movie about animals…), but can't come to look at anyone's blood but my own.

"Is something wrong Rhys?" Boyd asked, totally unperturbed by his bloody arm.

I looked like I was about to hurl. Rhys somehow overcame that feeling and healed Boyd's arm.

"You okay, Meia?" Rhys chuckled.

I took a deep breath, "I'll make it through. What about you? You looked pretty awful yourself a few seconds ago."

He shrugged, "I'm fine now."

"Is that some kind of priest thing? One moment afraid of your own shadow, the next you're as fit as a fiddle?" I asked, trying my best to avoid eye contact with the rest of the battle.

Oscar rode up; his horse's leg was bleeding heavily, while Oscar's own was cut. He was panting heavily.

I turned away again while Rhys quickly healed him up.

A few moments later, I felt a tap on my shoulder, "It's okay. He's gone."

I turned my head to see Rhys all happy as can be. I smiled too, but that only lasted until I saw a flash of red hair in the bushes.

"Rhys? Ike? Boyd? Oscar?!" It was Titania, "I thought I asked you boys to stay by the fort!" She looked around and spotted me by Rhys, "Meia?! Why are you here?"

My eyes widened in horror, "I… They asked me too!"

Titania shook her head, her mane of crimson hair swooshing around, "There's nothing I can do about it now."

-oOo-

The last bandit was down. It was enough blood to last me a life time! But, somehow, I made it through.

"You okay, Meia?" Oscar asked after Ike slew the last bandit, "You look a little pale."

I looked up at him, "Ya think?"

Ike called.

Oscar quickly looked back, "Sounds like we're ready to save them." He took off, me following behind on shaky legs.

Another icky looking bandit was by the shack, Rolf and Mist by his side.

"Let them go." Ike said sternly.

The bandit laughed, "Drop yer weapons and I'll think about it!"

I rolled my eyes. No point in telling them what will happen. As long as Shinon stays true to the plot line.

Everyone dropped their weapons.

"Now that yer out of the way, I'll start with the greenie!"

I bit my finger, trying so hard not to laugh.

"Rolf!" Everyone yelled, but it was too late… For the bandit.

Rolf collapsed to the ground.

"Is he…?" Boyd started, but didn't finish.

Mist smiled, "Nope! He just fainted."

Ike looked around, "But who shot it?"

"Who else could make a shot like that, right between the eyes?" A mysterious voice goaded, "Nobody, that's who!"

"Shinon!" Titania shouted.

Said sniper rushed out from the bushes, the blue gilded tank hurrying out behind him.

"Slow down, will ya, Shinon? It's hard in this armor!" Gatrie huffed. His blue armor rattled as he wheezed.

"You brats safe?" Shinon asked sarcastically.

"Rolfie here's fainted, but Mist's as peppy as usual." I snickered.

Shinon rolled his eyes at me.

-oOo-

Back at the Fort…

I waited outside the mess hall, listening as Greil yelled at Oscar, Ike, Boyd and Rhys. Ike had tried to tell him that I had come along as well, but Greil didn't care. He accused them of bribing me to come instead.

"They're in a shit load of trouble." Shinon chuckled as he passed me.

I looked back, surprised. Shinon never talked to me… "I tried warning them. I knew Titania was out to get help."

The sniper's eyes squeezed together in an accusing squint, "I've heard you sort of… tell the future or something."

"I guess you could call it that." I scratched the back of my head nervously, "You want your fortune?"

"I don't think so. It's a bunch of baloney if you ask me."

"Did I ask you, though?"

He sneered before rushing off. The guy's ruder than the game suggests. I thought. So much for Mia. I thought of my attempt to put them together. Now that I've actually met him… It seemed impossible.

"Hmph…"

I looked back to see Mist leaning against the wall, "How can Rolf put up with him?"

"How can anyone?"

Mist shook her head, "You're lucky. He's in a good mood right now."

My eyes widened, "Wow…" I looked back to where he had disappeared to, "Never thought him to be that bad."

"You don't have to live with him every day. Luckily, though, Gatrie manages to set him straight." Mist said.

"Well, on a lighter note, he won't be around too much longer."

"And there you go again! How do you know these things?" she asked, rather desperately.

I thought for a moment. Again… What was I supposed to say? "Uh…….."

Ike and the others filed out of the room.

"Trouble? I told you so!" I said triumphantly.

"No. I have another mission tomorrow!" Ike announced.

"Pirates Aground… Right." I sighed. Not so psychic after all.

I watched as Ike left… And then saw his head peep through the doorway, "Wanna come?"

I smiled sweetly at him, "I don't think so."

"Whatever." And he left.

-oOo-

I sat in the quiet mess hall. I don't really know why.

My eyes began to droop, so it was time to go bother somebody. Maybe Shinon was out practicing… Oh, wait… It was getting late. Maybe he's asleep. Maybe… Perfect! I snuck up the stairs and down the hallway.

The moonlight poured in through the window, casting an eerie glow across everything. I tip-toed into the room and began searching for something. Like I'm telling you people what! Just wait…

"Mph…"

I froze, turning my head slightly in the direction of the sleeping sniper. He had turned over, now facing me. He pulled the blanket up, but tucked it behind a fuzzy figure. I squinted to get a better view of the item, but couldn't see. I quietly tip-toed closer and observed it. Wasn't that adorable! It was a small teddy bear!

I bit my lip, trying my best not to let out a sound of laughter.

His eyes flickered as a small snicker exited my mouth. I slapped a hand over my face, making an even louder sound.

"Huh?" he sat up and looked around.

Shit! I thought and began running over several different curses in my head. Then I wanted to laugh even harder. That looked soooo wrong. A grown man, in his late twenties. That was the 1st wrong thing about this. #2. He was bare from the torso up… at least that's all I could see was his upper body. #3. His long, red hair wasn't tied up, so it just looked weird in that sense. #4… He had a teddy bear. And #5… He was practically awake! If he caught me now… In his room trying to attach a rubber chicken to his bow… And, now the most recent,. #6. I just dropped the chicken and it let out a squeak.

"Who's there?" he continued looking around, but didn't see me after I hid under the bed. I quickly pulled the chicken under too.

Feet were right in front of me. I held my nose. When was the last time anyone in this world used soap? Ew! Maybe I smelled bad too then! Gross.

My face was distorted now. From the 6 reasons this was going horribly wrong, to the fact that his feet smelled like cow crap… seriously. And now that maybe even I smelled from lack of body wash. The Earthly kind. A hot bath just didn't cut it.

"Aw, shit. Door's open." I heard him grumble. He got up to close it.

#7. Why wasn't there anything covering his calves? Good thing I couldn't see past his knees! That would scar me for life!

"Come on, Mr. Foozles, I'm sure it wasn't anything serious."

I bit my finger hard, to the point I tasted my own blood in my mouth. This was just too funny.

Gentle snoring was all I could hear now. Phew. I climbed out from under the bed, being as quiet as possible not to make a sound. I avoided looking at him at all costs, instead going to find his bow. I finally found it, unstrung it, and attached the rubber chicken as the string instead. A one time use, so I had to think of something worth doing. I put my hand on the door handle, but looked back at the teddy bear. Sure! Why not? I looked around, found his quiver, and swapped it. The teddy was old… Oh well.

I opened the door and left.

Phew… I'll be in a cheez-full of trouble tomorrow! But if he does threaten me, I always have my backup plan! Mr. Foozles.

FE Frog: Was that ever long! Maybe the longest chapter so far! Like it, hate it? I hope you laughed at it, in a good way. Has anyone ever tried imagining Shinon without his ponytail? When it's down? It'll be worse than Lucius from the back! Or, if you're my sister, you'd laugh like a lunatic while imagining him... With a mushroom cut. Actually, alot of looks would 'suit' him. Like a mohawk, or maybe Devdan's-Danved's style. Wow... Sorry, I'm slightly hyper right now, if you haven't noticed. Writing this stuff always makes me like that, but it gets funnier that way! Well, I'll let you go now. Don't forget to read my other story, Just a Small Town Girl. Neph and Geoffrey. Not too fond of the pairing, but I think it's cute the way I did it! I've never seen a modern day romance between them, so... Yeah.
