A/N: This chapter is a little short, but I tried to make it extra funny. I hope you find it entertaining. I'll try to post another chapter tomorrow.
To the readers of my other fic, Shinigami Alchemist: I'm really sorry, I've been putting off writing the next chapter to that one because this one is funner to write XD. But I'll try to get a chapter up tonight or tomorrow.

Dinner that night was an awkward affair.
Esther had requested that she and Ion dine privately, but she knew, just knew, that they were right on the other side of the grand hall's door listening in.
So they didn't really talk to each other because of that.
That, and the fact that they were about fifty feet away from each other, one on each side of the table, and couldn't say anything understandable without screaming.
"So…" Ion said, looking down at his plate.
"WHAT?"
"I SAID, 'SO,'" Ion screamed in reply.
"'SO' WHAT?"
"Never mind…"
"WHAT?!?!"
Ion banged his head on the table. Bang… bang… bang…
The affair after dinner was much better, except neither knew what to say as they walked through the darkened palace gardens. The conversation went a little bit like this:
Ion: So…
Esther: …
Ion: These are lovely gardens, Esther.
Esther: … blush …
Ion: Uh…
Esther: … sniffle
Ion: looks at Esther Esther, I'm sorry, don't cry! It's all my fault. I'm stupid, I ruined our friendship, I-
Esther: It's not that… sniffle
Ion: blinks
Esther: It's just, we walked into the onion garden, and I've always had sensitive eyes… wipes nose
Ion: hits head on tree repeatedly …
Upon return to the palace, they managed to get lost. Usually this would be very romantic, and any girl would just love to get lost in romantic, dimly lit gardens with the boy she loves.
Well, apparently, not this young couple. Because if they did, the conversation wouldn't have gone like this:
Ion: I can't believe we're lost…
Esther: It's getting kind of cold.
Ion: I know, I'm getting cold too.
Esther: I'm freezing! Can I use your coat?
Ion: blinks But I'm cold too!
Esther: You're so insensitive!
Ion: What? I'm just cold!
Esther: rolls eyes You don't get it! headtree
Ion: blinks
Eventually, an entire guard squad came looking for them, and they were safely returned to the palace.
