Future Dragon: Rose Long (Season Two)
Chapter/Episode 6: Friend or Slayer?
Inside Rose's new room, Joel watched as Rose went into a coughing fit, coughing about five times. After the fifth cough, Rose slowly set her head back down on the pillow. "What happened next?" Joel suddenly asked, making Rose slowly turn her head to the side.
"You said..." Joel continued. "...That things got worse after that day. What happened?"
"It was about a month and a half later..." Rose told him. "...Two weeks away from the Graduation Rite and a week and a half away from the day that the names of the students that would be allowed to go would be announced..."
FLASHBACK
Rose was in the library in the Huntsclan Academy, sitting across from Teresa, who was hunched over, writing a paper. Rose's mask was on the table and she had her nose in a book. However, Rose slowly lowered the book as she stared at her friend.
"Hey, Teresa?"
"Yeah?" Teresa responded, looking up from the paper that she was writing.
"I honestly don't get it." Rose said as she closed the book she was reading, setting it down next to her mask. Putting her elbows on the table, she intertwined her fingers.
"What don't you get?" Teresa asked, giving Rose a quizzical look.
"You writing this paper." Rose told her.
"I have to write it to pass a class..."
"I know." Rose nodded. "But the paper you're writing is about how to slay a dragon. I'm surprised you're not puking chunks right about now, to be frank."
"I'm trying not to think about it." Teresa shrugged. "I'm not going into any graphic detail or anything, I'm just listing the ways that you can slay a dragon." As she said this, she looked back down at her paper. "In fact, I'm almost done."
"The teacher isn't going to like that." Rose shook her head. "It is about the teachings, but it's about which one of the teachings you would use. The teacher will want graphic description. They are training us to be killers, Teresa. We aren't getting out of here until our hands have permanent blood on them..."
"Then I don't want out of here." Teresa said, throwing her pen down on the table as she sat back in her chair. "I'm not going to become a killer, Rose. It's wrong. We're different, Rose. We know better."
"I didn't use to..." Rose admitted sadly.
"But you do now." Teresa told her. Then, somewhat of a crooked smile crossed her face. "I guess we'll be living here forever..."
Rose just stared back at Teresa as she said this, an unreadable look on her face. Finally, Rose sighed as she pulled her hands apart. Then, before Teresa could react, Rose reached out and snagged the paper away. Pulling it back over to her space, Rose looked down at the paper and read it. Teresa just stared at her friend with a nervous look on her face.
Finally, Rose lowered the paper. "Well, I have no doubt in my mind that the teacher will hate this." She told Teresa. "Teresa, I don't want you to stay here forever." Rose shook her head. "This isn't the place for you."
"This isn't the place for you either, Rose." Teresa returned. "The fact of the matter is that we're both stuck here. We're both marked."
"I'll tell you what, Teresa." Rose said. "I will write this paper for you. I'll type it up on one of the Hunts-computers. Then, you can be considered for the Graduation Rite."
"I don't want to slay any magical creatures, though..." Teresa leaned forward in her chair.
"You won't have to." Rose replied handing her friend back her paper. "You just go and don't slay any magical creatures. And if any of your superiors seem to be watching you, just pretend to be trying. All me doing the paper for you means that you will never have to write this paper again..."
LINE BREAK
Rose sat at one of the computers at the Hunts-library, typing at the keyboard. Briefly, Rose stopped to read over what she had just written. Nodding with satisfaction, Rose returned her fingers to the keyboard and began to type again.
LINE BREAK
Rose knocked on the door to Teresa's shared quarters twice before she pulled her hand away. Rose then took two steps back as the door to the room opened, allowing Rose to see Teresa. "I...I finished the paper..." Rose told her, holding out the typed report, which was stapled together in five pages.
"Thanks..." Teresa didn't know what other to say than this as she reached out and took the paper.
"No problem..." Rose shrugged. "...That's what friends are for..."
Teresa smiled as she nodded. "Do...Do you want to come inside?" Teresa finally asked, indicating to the inside of the room with her thumb. "My roommate is at one of her classes. We could...go over the paper or...talk..." She finished as she lowered her hand.
"That sounds..." Rose tried to think about it quickly. "...Nice..." She finally decided, nodding.
Smiling, Teresa turned around and walked back into the room, followed by Rose. Seconds after the girls entered the room, the door closed.
LINE BREAK
Three knocks came from out in the halls and could be heard from inside the room. Seconds later, the door opened and #56 poked his head into the room. "Knock, knock." He said, walking into the room, only to find #666 lying under the covers of the bottom bunk, caught in a coughing fit. "You okay?" #56 asked as he started to walk toward his friend.
"I'm sick, you moron!" #666 growled, turning his head to the side once he finished coughing.
"Oh..." #56 said as he stopped right at the side of the bed. Then, he put his hands on his hips and smiled. "...So, does that mean that I have to wait until tomorrow for you to help me again?"
"Help you?" After he said this, #666 was hit by another series of coughs.
"Yeah..." #56's smile faded as #666 stopped coughing after a few seconds. "...You said that you would help me get rid of Huntsgirl to protect your image."
"I did it so I wouldn't have to write that paper..." #666 moaned in correction.
"Well, you haven't helped me since we were sent to the kraken pit..." #56 told him sat down on his knees and leaned against the side of the bed. "...Maybe...you'd be willing to start helping me again..."
"I'm sick..." #666 repeated in a growl, rolling his head to the side. "...I haven't been helping you because I've been so busy. I was in the hospital for some time, then I had to make up work for my classes. Now-"
"Now you're sick..." #56 finished for him.
"Very good..." #666 rolled his eyes.
At this moment, #56 suddenly gasped and turned his head to the side when he heard two knocks against the door. "May I come in?" Came a male voice. With wide eyes, #56 returned his attention back to #666, looking down at him, as if waiting for an answer.
"Open the door..." #666 told him.
Nodding, #56 climbed to his feet and turned around, quickly walking over to the door. #666 watched as #56 reached the door and opened it, allowing another trainee to walk into the room, heading for #666's bed. The trainee's hair was not visible, but his green eyes were easy to see. In his hand, he held a notebook, which he handed down to #666 as he reached the bed.
"I brought you your homework for Fight Training class..." the trainee said as #666 reached up and took the notebook.
As he took the notebook, #666 glanced at his shoulder, finding the patch with the number 73 on it. "Thank you, #73." He said. "You can go now..."
There was no denying the disappointed look on #73's face as #666 said this. "Oh...okay..." He said, nodding slowly. "...We...Well, I just wanted you to know that I think it's a shame about what happened. During the training courses in our classes, you always seem to be the most skilled. Then, the Huntsgirl came and she showed you up. It's...really a shame..."
With this said, #73 turned around and started to walk away. However, he gasped as #666 lashed out with hand, grabbing $73's wrist. "You think it's...a shame?" #666 asked, lifting his head up from the pillow.
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
In Dragon Slaying 101, Rose and Teresa were sitting together as the robotic-armed instructor passed back papers. Teresa held her breath as the instructor finally reached the table she was sitting at with Rose, setting down the paper. As Teresa looked down on it, her eyes widened as she found that it was unmarked.
Looking back up at the instructor with wide eyes, she was surprised to see that there was a look of pride in the instructor's eyes.
"Well done, #101!" He told her. "That was the most detailed, skilled and professional paper that I have read yet for this course in all my years!"
"Th...Thank you, Master..." Teresa said, her tone hushed out of shock.
"You keep this up, #101..." The instructor continued, wagging his robotic finger in Teresa's face as Rose turned her head to the side to look at her friend. "...And you will be going to that Graduation Right..."
"Y...Yes, Master..." Teresa managed again, nodding once.
The Huntsclan instructor then turned around and walked back to the board. As soon as he reached it, he reached down and picked up the piece of chalk. He then turned around to face the class. "And now class, for today's lesson..." He said. "...Is there a weak spot in the dragon's armor of scales?"
LINE BREAK
The door to #666's quarters opened as #73 slowly stepped inside. "You wanted to see me?" He asked as he closed the door behind himself, starting to walk over to the bed. #666 rolled his head to the side as #73 reached the side of the bed.
"You wanted to see me?" #73 asked.
"You said it was a shame that Huntsgirl is making me look bad..." #666 rasped before he started to cough. #73 looked down, watching until #666 stopped coughing. "...Well #56 thinks so too. He pestering me. He wants Huntsgirl out of the way..."
"He does?"
"I'm not going to go into much detail..." #666 said as he slowly started to sit up. Once he was sitting up, he pushed himself to the side so that his legs were now dangling over the side of the bed. "...But I made a deal with him. A deal to get rid of Huntsgirl. Unfortunately-" Once again, #666 was cut off by a series of four coughs and he brought his arm up to his mouth, #73 taking two steps back.
As soon as he finished coughing, #666 lowered his arm. "Unfortunately..." He continued. "...Because of the circumstances I have been in lately, I have not been able to help him. I'm still not. I was wondering...if you would be willing to help me out..." As he said this, a small grin spread onto his face.
LINE BREAK
Outside the room, #56 was walking down the hall, headed for the door to #666's quarters. He reached the door and reached out to grab the knob, only to freeze when he heard voices. His eyes widening, the trainee put his ear to the door and listened...
"What would be in it for me?" Came the sound of #73's voice.
"It depends on how you get rid of her..." Came #666's reply. "...If you run her out, which I don't find possible, you get all the glory for yourself should anyone see you..."
Hearing this, #56's eyes widened with horror. However, he still continued to listen as #666 continued:
"...If you kill her, which is probably your best bet, your risk will be higher. For that..." His voice faltered, almost as if he was thinking about what to say. After a few seconds, he returned to the conversation: "...You will get to spend time with me and #56 for the rest of the time that I am here before I leave after the Graduation Rite. That should help your status after I leave..."
Hearing his "friend" say this, #56's eyes widened even more as he ground his teeth. "No..." He growled. "...I have to be left the most popular student after he leaves!"
LINE BREAK
Back inside the room, #73 just stare at #666 as the ill trainee sat on his part of the bunk-bed. Finally, he nodded. "Okay." #73 said. "I'll do it."
"Good." #666 nodded as he hopped off of the bed, slowly turning around.
"Wh...What are you doing?" #73 asked as he watched his fellow trainee kneel down and reach underneath the bed. Finally, #666 pulled his hands out from underneath the bed and got to his feet, turning around to reveal a sheathed dagger.
"Do with this what you will..." #666 told him.
LINE BREAK
Having had enough, #56 grabbed the knob of the door and opened it, bursting into the room, just in time to see #73 walking out of the room. #56 turned his head to the side as #73 started to walk by him, eventually leaving the room.
With #73 gone, #56 narrowed his eyes and clenched his fists as he turned his head back to normal, watching as #666 lied back down on his back on the bed, rolling his head to the side. "Why did you do that?" #56 demanded, his teeth clenched.
"Do what?"
"You got him to dispose of Huntsgirl!" #56 exclaimed. "You were supposed to do it! We had a deal! You get to slack off and still get to graduate while I get credit for getting rid of her! You promised me that I would get credit..." He pointed at his "friend" accusingly.
"You said you want to be the one to get rid of her, you dolt..."
"And by that, I meant that I want the credit." #56 corrected.
"Well, things changed when we both decided that Huntsgirl has to be killed..." #666 said as he slowly sat up, keeping his head turned so that he could look at his fellow trainee.
"No!" #56 spread his arms out in a dramatic fashion. "This wasn't part of the plan I won't have this!" #56 then whirled around and started to storm out of the room.
LINE BREAK
Class had ended and all of the trainees were exiting Dragon Slaying 101. Rose and Teresa were the last ones to exit and they started to walk down the hall together; Teresa sighed as she looked down at the paper that she held in her hands.
"What's the matter?" Rose asked, turning her head to the side.
"Nothing." Teresa shrugged off Rose's concern before she stopped walking. Even though she was looking right at her, it took Rose a few seconds to realize that Teresa had stopped walking, so she kept walking on for a split second after Teresa stopped.
"What is it?" Rose asked after she stopped and turned around.
"I already told you that nothing's wrong." Teresa said before she sighed again. "Rose, I'm going to go back to my quarters and think about this..."
"About what?"
"About...About the Graduation Rite." Teresa confessed slowly. Shaking her head, she took a step back. "I have to think about how this is going to play out. How am I going to make this convincing?"
"Okay..." Rose said uncertainly. "...Will you be feeling better by lunch?"
"Yeah, I should be feeling better..." Teresa nodded as she took another step back. "...I'll see you there..." Then, she turned around and started to run down the opposite side of the hall.
Rose was left watching as her friend ran away, disappearing from sight. Sighing, Rose slowly turned around and then started to walk down the hall.
LINE BREAK
Rose continued walking down the halls of the Academy until she reached the doors that led to the quarters of many trainees. However, as she walked, Rose could see Huntsgal walking down the opposite end of the hall.
For a moment, Rose thought that perhaps they would cross paths, but to Rose's surprise, Huntsgal stopped at one of the doors and opened it, walking inside and closing the door behind her.
Somewhat curious, Rose started to pick up her pace, eventually breaking out into a full run until she reached the door, putting her ear to it, just as she heard Huntsgal's voice: "Any sign of him?"
At first, Rose didn't know what Huntsgal was talking about, but then the response she got surprised her, making Rose widen her eyes. It was not what was said more than it was who said it: "Really, Huntsgal?" It was The Huntsman.
LINE BREAK
Inside the room, Huntsgal was standing in front of The Huntsman, who had just gotten up from his desk to face her. "You come here every day, Huntsgal." The Huntsman pointed a finger at her. "Every day for the last five years..."
"Can you blame me?" Huntsgal put her hands on her hips. "The one person who knows the truth was banished! He should have been killed! Your act of mercy can come around and bite me!"
"It's been five years, Huntsgal!" The Huntsman exclaimed, turning back around and starting to sit back down in his chair. "He hasn't returned to spill your secret. You have nothing to worry about..."
"And what if he does return?" Huntsgal persisted.
"Then you can slay him!" The Huntsman growled in annoyance, turning his head to the side. "You can run him through like you did to my partner five years ago!"
LINE BREAK
Hearing this, Rose's eyes widened and she gasped. She still tried to press her ear back to the door again, but her eyes only widened even more as she heard the sound of footsteps. Quickly, Rose pushed herself away from the door and started to run down the hall, just as the door opened and Huntsgal stepped out.
Huntsgal turned to the side and closed the door as she started to walk down the hall. However, as she stared down the hall, she could see Rose still running down the hall, quickly turning and running down a new hall. Huntsgal thought nothing of it at first and she started to walk down the hall.
However, after a few seconds, Huntsgal's eyes widened as she realized what could have happened. "Huntsgirl..." Huntsgal whispered.
LINE BREAK
Leaning against the wall of the hall she had just entered, Rose breathed heavily, to the point of near panting. As soon as she had caught her breath, Rose stepped away from the wall and started to walk down the hall, only to stop when she heard quick footsteps coming from behind her.
Slowly turning around, Rose's eyes widened and she gasped as she saw that Huntsgal was standing in the hall, hands on her hips. "Hello, Huntsgirl..." She said.
BLACKOUT; COMMERCIAL
BACK TO THE STORY/SHOW
#73 was walking down the halls of the Academy. He stopped when he reached the end of the hall, leading to another hall that was ongoing. Right across from #73 was the large room that contained all the Huntsclan artillery. The doors were open, but there were no Huntsclan soldiers inside.
#73 knelt down onto his knees and reached into the black pants that were part of his uniform, pulling out the dagger that #666 had given him. "I seriously doubt that this will work against the Huntsgirl..."
#73 then got back to his feet and started to walk toward the entrance to the artillery room, completely unaware that from behind, #56 was jogging down the hall from behind, heading after #73.
LINE BREAK
"Huntsgirl..." Huntsgal took a step closer to Rose, who took a step back herself in defense. "...You weren't eavesdropping, were you?" The tone in Huntsgal's voice was dangerous, the look in her eyes told Rose that the older soldier was prepared to kill. Again.
"I...I don't know what you're talking about." Rose lied, taking another step back, trying to hide the fear in her eyes.
"I can tell that you're lying..." Huntsgal said calmly, taking another step toward Rose. "...Do you know how I can tell? I can tell by your stammers. I can tell by that look in your eye..."
"Well, I don't see what the problem is." Rose tried to sound more courageous than she was feeling as she took another step back. "Huntsmaster is on your side. He'll let you get away with your crime..."
"Unless you go blabbing." Huntsgal said dangerously as she took another step toward Rose.
"No one would believe me..." Rose shook her head as she took yet another step back. "...I'm just a disgraced apprentice..."
"You'd be surprised at what this clan would take seriously." Huntsgal said as she took yet another step toward Rose. "Which is why I'm sure Huntsmaster will understand why I had to kill you..." With that, she grunted as she started to run toward Rose.
Gasping, Rose spun around and started to run down the hall as quickly as she could, Huntsgal right behind her.
LINE BREAK
Entering the artillery room, #73 looked both ways, taking in the entire room before he threw the dagger that he had received across the room. Then, he started to walk across the room, stopping in front one of the shelves, where there was a line of staffs.
"Perfect..." #73 said as he started to reach for one of the staffs, just as #56 ran into the room.
Hearing the footsteps, #73 quickly pulled away from the staffs and whirled around, only to sigh with relief when he saw that it was #56. "Oh, it's just you..." He said.
"Yeah. Just me..." #56 replied darkly.
"I'm doing you a favor, you know?" #56 said, slowly starting to turn around to grab the staff again.
"No." #56 growled, starting to take steps toward his fellow trainee. "You're not..." Then, he started to run toward the trainee. Just as #73 was about to pull the staff off its hooks, he grunted as #56 hit him from behind, pushing him against the rack.
As they both fell back, the staff hit the floor and rolled across it while #73 struggled under #56's weight. "Get...off of me!" #73 grunted as he brought up his arm and elbowed #56 in the neck. Grunting, #56 flew off of #73's back and fell back onto his own with a grunt as #73 managed to get to his feet.
Quickly, #73 rushed over to the staff and once he reached it, he bent over and picked it off of the ground, turning around to look at #56. "You're crazy!" He told his fellow trainee before he turned to the side and started to walk out of the room.
#56 turned his head to the side to watch #73 leave before he gritted his teeth, rolling over onto his stomach as he looked at the shelf next to the one that held the staffs. On the shelf were two large silver cannon-like devices.
LINE BREAK
Leaving the artillery room, #73 turned and started to walk down the hall, clutching the staff tightly. However, the trainee was completely unaware that right behind him, #56 rushed out of the artillery room, clutching the cannon-like device.
At first, #56 was facing the wrong direction, but he quickly spun around and now looked at the leaving trainee. "HEY!" He shouted.
Down the hall, #73 froze and gasped as he turned around to see #56 lift up the cannon, firing out a green net. #73 could only grunt as he fell down to the floor on his back, trapped in the net, the staff hitting the floor beside him.
Shocked, #73 could only look up as #56 walked up, stopping in front of him, dropping the cannon at his side, right on top of the staff.
"Why are you doing this?" #73 managed.
"Disposing of Huntsgirl is my job..." #56 told him. "...You stay out of my way." Then, he swiftly turned around and started to walk away.
LINE BREAK
Rose was panting now, but as she glanced behind her shoulder, seeing Huntsgal close behind her, not even breaking a sweat, she knew that she had to run faster. Turning her head back to normal, Rose quickly turned down a new hall and started to run down it, Huntsgal right behind.
"Okay, think, Rose!" Rose said to herself as she continued to run. "How can you lead her into a trap?"
However, no plan could come to her, and with every step that she took, exhaustion only served to take more of a hold on her. However, she knew that she had to keep going.
Seeing another new hall in the distance, Rose prepared herself for another turn. Swiftly, she turned and ran into the new hall and continued to run down it, only to gasp and come to a screeching halt when she found that the hall was a dead end.
Her heart pounding, Rose slowly started to turn around, but she was stopped when Huntsgal flew into her after jumping into the air, kicking her in the side. Grunting, Rose turned back around as she was thrown off her feet, grunting again as she hit the ground on her back.
Opening her eyes, Rose found that Huntsgal was standing over her, kneeling down on her before Rose could even start to sit up. Quickly, Huntsgal brought her hands down and wrapped her fingers around Rose's neck, starting to strangle her.
Her eyes wide with horror, Rose reacted quickly and brought her hands up, trying to push away Huntsgal's head. However, this only caused Huntsgal to tighten her grip, making Rose gasp out in shock as she quickly brought her hands back down, grabbing Huntsgal's wrists. As Huntsgal strangled her, Rose kicked out with her feet and tried to force her body up, but Huntsgal held on tight, keeping her down.
"Shh, it won't be so bad..." Huntsgal whispered. "...Just give in and go to sleep..."
Gasping out in pain, Rose squeezed her eyes shut, wanting to fight despite her strength slowly fading. Soon, her grip on Huntsgal's wrists started to slip. It was looking like there was nothing Rose could do to save herself..."
"Huntsgal?" came an unfamiliar voice.
Gasping, Huntsgal released Rose and straightened up, turning her head to the side to see two Huntsclan soldiers walking down the hall, headed for Huntsgal and Rose. "Huntsgal?" the first hunter asked again. "What are you doing?"
Taking this time for her advantage, Rose quickly sat up and she slammed her hand and wrist into Huntsgal's masked face, making Huntsgal grunt as she was thrown back, freeing Rose's lowered body.
Watching this, the first Huntsclan soldier turned his head to the side to look at his companion. "Call The Huntsmaster." He said.
LINE BREAK
Rose and Huntsgal were now sitting against the wall while the two Huntsclan soldiers stood over them. As Rose struggled to regain some normalcy in her breathing pattern, Huntsgal turned her head to the side and glared at her. "When Huntsmaster gets here, it'll be over for you..." She growled.
Rose, however, ignored this as she continued to try to keep her breath. As she did this, she stared down the hall, finally being able to see The Huntsman turning and walking down the hall. The two soldiers turned around when they heard his footsteps and they stepped to the side, allowing The Huntsman to stop in front of the two soldiers sitting in front of him.
"What is the meaning of all this?" The Huntsman demanded in a harsh tone.
"Huntsmaster." Rose quickly said, beating Huntsgal, who started to move forward. "I heard Huntsgal..." As she spoke, she slowly got to her feet. "...Talking to someone on my way from my class. She said that she killed your old partner five years ago."
The Huntsman just stared at Rose for a few seconds before he finally spoke: "She was...talking to someone?"
"Y...Yes, Huntsmaster..."
"Did you recognize the sound of the second person's voice?" The Huntsman raised an eyebrow at her, also crossing his arms.
"N...No, Huntsmaster." Rose declared as quickly as she could, slowly shaking her head once as she hoped that her old master bought her lie.
The Huntsman just stared back at Rose for a few seconds, not even blinking. At first, Rose could feel her heart sinking, that terrible thought that The Huntsman didn't buy her crossing her mind. However, The Huntsman the quickly turned around to face the two soldiers, who were now standing at each other's sides.
"Take Huntsgal down to the dungeon." The Huntsman told them. "It appears we have finally found our assassin..."
"No, no, no, no..." Huntsgal pleaded as she started to stand up, the two Huntsclan soldiers walking by The Huntsman, walking over to her. "...Huntsmaster, please..." Huntsgal begged as the soldiers reached her at one side each, each soldier taking one of her arms and pulling it behind her back. Then, they started to force her away.
"Huntsmaster, please..." Huntsgal tried as the two soldiers walked her passed The Huntsman. Huntsgal fought against her captors and she turned herself around to face The Huntsman. "...Huntsmaster, you-" She tried, but The Huntsman quickly lashed out with his foot, kicking her in the stomach before she could finish, making her grunt and hunch over. The Huntsman then turned around to face Rose as the two soldiers proceeded to drag Huntsgal away.
LINE BREAK
About a good hour later, Rose was lying in the Hunts-hospital, under the covers of the bed, her quarters cut off from others by curtains. Rose stared up at the ceiling as she breathed normally, only to turn her head to the side when she heard footsteps, seeing Teresa walk in.
"Hey." Rose gave her friend a small smile.
"Huntsmaster just told the entire school what happened..." Teresa seemed to be in awe. "...He seemed pretty ticked off that one of his trusted subordinates would do such a thing..."
"Something tells me that's not why he's angry." Rose muttered, looking back up at the ceiling.
"Are you going to be okay?" Teresa asked.
"Yeah." Rose said, rolling her head back to the side. "I'm just taking it easy. I've been told that I'll be able to leave and go back to my classes first thing in the morning..."
"Well, that's good." Teresa smiled.
"Yeah..." Rose replied, once again returning her gaze up to the ceiling.
END FLASHBACK
"From that day on..." Rose told Joel. "...The Huntsman was suspicious of me. About one thing or another, The Huntsman thought that I could have been against him."
"He never found out that you lied, though?"
"Not that I know of." Rose sighed. "In fact, by the time of the announcements for the Graduation Rite a week and a half later, he seemed to have completely forgotten. But I'll never forget what happened in those few short days..."
BLACKOUT; END EPISODE
A/N: Okay, reviewers. Tell me what you think, because I'm not so sure with this one. This one has the chance to possibly become my least favorite episode. So, tell me what YOU think with a review.
