Disclaimer:
Albel: Great…we have to do this thing again…
Nel: …
Albel: I told you this was a waste of time fool
Kikeri Ki: HEY! No changing the subject Albel!
Nel: besides that's your line in the game you moron
Albel: …
"So when do you plan to return the moron?" Albel asked as Cliff started mumbling to himself
"As soon as he gets some memory back…" Nel replied
"…You should NOT have pushed him out of that window"
"Well he was going to attack you!"
"True…but still"
"Caller number one, lonewarrior666," Nel changed the subject quickly
"Yeah Albel, Why did you pick a sissy girl top for your outfit?" Lonewarrior asked
Albel's eye began twitching, "Because it goes with the sarong,"
"Well ok…but why did you choose purple for a color? Why not something more manly like green or black,"
Nel giggled as Albel began twitching even more, "Because I don't like green or black," he finally answered
"Then why not something more girly like pink?"
"BECAUSE I WON'T WEAR PINK!" Albel finally snapped
"I can answer that question about pink…the store ran out!" Nel laughed
"Damn it!" Albel picked up his katana
"Drop it skirt-boy," Nel warned
"Next caller" Albel said dejectedly
"Hey It's me again!" a familiar voice was heard
"Oh god it's Aleu again…" Albel muttered
"So what's up?" Nel asked
"Well this question is for you…"
"YES! Finally! No more being tormented!" Albel exclaimed
Nel gave him a funny look, "Ok so what is it?"
"What in the hell did you do to Cliff?" Aleu asked
"Uh…funny story…"
"He was coming after me and she pushed him out the freakin' window," Albel explained in Nel's silence.
"ALBEL!" Nel yelled
"What? It's the truth!"
"But now they'll think that I'm a bad guy!"
"Heh…actually that's kinda funny" Aleu laughed
"So…anything else?" Nel asked
"Yeah I've got a couple dares for you guys…"
"Oh Lord…" Albel moaned
"Ok!" Nel snapped her fingers and again they were standing in the arena of the last chapter,
"How the hell do you do that?" Albel exclaimed
"…anyway what's the dare?" Nel asked
"First I want you guys to dance the tango," Aleu said evilly
"O.o" Nel and Albel looked at each other funny
"Oh come on!"
"…fine…" and the two began dancing…awkwardly
"Hee…this is funny," Aleu was laughing away somewhere in the cosmos
"Anything else?" Albel asked in a strangled voice
"Yeah I dare you guys to make out for two minutes!"
"O.O"
"Yeah that's right I went there," Aleu cackled evilly
"…uh…" Albel looked fearfully at Nel who eyed him warily
"…ok…uh…this is VERY awkward…" Nel said carefully
"I'd say…maggots these days…" Albel murmured
"We did find out that we both have feelings for each other…"
"Yeah……I guess"
"But we did say that we weren't going to date…"
"Uh-huh…"
"So what do we do?" Suddenly Nel felt his lips on hers, and they stayed locked together for two whole minutes before breaking apart breathlessly.
"HA! That was awesome!" Aleu giggled
"…What the hell was that?" Nel asked shocked
"Bah worm…I can't stand losing a dare," Albel muttered
"Uh………" Nel, still shocked, snapped her fingers and they appeared back in the studio.
"Ha you guys made out!" Cliff laughed as they zapped into the room
"…so you're finally back to normal?" Nel asked
"You bet! The shock of you two kissing will smack you right out of amnesia!" Cliff explained
"Uh…" Nel pushed the laughing blond Klausian out the door and down three flights of stairs.
"Violent today aren't we?" Albel asked
"…Next caller…" she murmured
"Hey, this is Epiclesis, and I just saw Albel in comic when he was 15. You were wearing pants…what made you go girly?"
"…I like my look…" he growled
"Whatever girly man, but here," Suddenly a book appeared out of nowhere, titled, Insults for Idiots. Albel stared at it, as Nel began snickering
"What's this for maggot?" he asked
"You need some new insults, yours are freakin' lame!"
"Bah…"
"See!"
"……"
"and my last question," By this time Nel was on the floor laughing her head off, "Did people mistake you for a cross-dresser when you were little?"
Albel's eye was twitching madly again, "No…people treated me with respect,"
"Unlike here," Nel giggled. Albel glared at her
"Next caller" he grumbled
"Anarchy Sky you're on the air," Nel sang
Albel gave her a queer look, "What is your problem?"
"Oh just the fact that you get annoyed so easily is very amusing!" she laughed
"Hey you guys…Uh Albel, if you're so strong and tough then why do you always end up as the beating stick? Or more specifically Nel's beating stick?" Anarchy Sky asked
Albel's eye twitched, "Because Nel is a freakin' battle mode lady…she'll kill me!"
"But…don't you have a katana?"
"…"
"Heh…he never thinks about his katana at the times that I threaten him," Nel laughed
"Yeah that's right keep laughing…" Albel muttered evilly, pulling out his katana
"KI-YAH!" Nel yelled and out of nowhere she kicked his sword out the window
"Where the hell did that come from?" Albel screamed
"……" Nel glared at him
"Well…you guys just answered my next question…Nel apparently does have ninja skills…" Anarchy Sky murmured
"Oh crap…" Albel muttered
"Anyway…Albel…when you were growing up were you the effeminate male friend of all the girls?" Anarchy asked
"…no…" Albel said hastily
"Yeah you were! I remember!" Nel reprimanded him
"You were NOT supposed to tell!" Albel groaned
"…So you were…did you wear pink ribbons in your hair?" Anarchy asked the last part of the question
"NO!"
"Uh yeah you did…" Nel reminded him
"Shut up woman!"
"I have a really great story about his pink ribbons too…" Nel started
"Any more questions?" Albel interrupted her
"Yeah, Nel do you have sweet guitar skills?"
"Um…what's a guitar?" Nel asked
Suddenly Fayt ran into the room and threw Nel a guitar, "Remember Nel I gave this thing to you and you just started playing!" Fayt yelled
"…This is a guitar?" Nel looked confused
"Sweet is she any good?" Anarchy asked Fayt, he nodded
"Yeah she started playing 'Stairway to Heaven' the first time…I'm not sure how…" Fayt scratched his head
Nel sighed and began playing the song. Eight minutes later she was done and she handed the instrument back to the blue haired boy.
"Any thing else?" she asked
"Nope,"
"Ok then maggots…who's next?" Albel asked and then groaned as he looked at the caller ID,
"Blue Persuasion you're on the air!" Nel said
"Um…Albel do you remember this picture?" Blue faxed a picture of Albel a young boy…dressed in his purple skirt and 'normal' clothing…but with pink ribbons in his hair. Albel blushed furiously
"Where-did-you-get-that?" he asked through clenched teeth
"Oh they're floating all over the internet!" Blue laughed
"Hmmm….i remember that day…" Nel started to go into a flashback
FLASHBACK!
A young Nel Zelpher is playing in a sand box at the Kirlsa playground. Suddenly a young boy in a purple skirt and crop top, and his braided hair bound in pink ribbons walks up to her.
"Hi!" he squealed
Nel looked over the boy with a weird look, "Uh…hi?"
The young Albel laughed gleefully and started playing in the sand
"Uh…are you a girl?" Nel asked unsure
"Mr. Zelpher says I am…but my daddy got mad and said I was a boy" Albel answered
"Uh-huh…why do you have pink ribbons in your hair?" Nel asked curious
"I like pink!" Albel giggled
"…O.o…so why isn't your skirt pink?"
"Because I like purple too!" Nel rolled her eyes
"So what's your name?" Albel asked
"Nel Zelpher,"
"Oh…my daddy said not to play with Zelpher's…"
"Whatever," Nel went back to playing in the sand
"But I don't care what my dad says I'll still play with you!" Albel grinned
"Whatever floats your boat kid," Nel said
"Do you want to go pick some flowers?" Albel asked
"No,"
"Well do you want me to braid your hair?"
"No"
"What are you doing?"
"Playing in the sand…will you leave me alone?"
"Sure!" Albel was quiet for a few moments, "Do you like ponies?"
"Shut up will ya!" Nel stood up and pushed Albel down into the sand and left.
"Oh…nice to meet you!" Albel giggled
Meanwhile the two kid's fathers were standing nearby. Glou looked mad and Nevelle was laughing his head off.
"Glou I told you your kid was a pansy!" Nevelle laughed
"…Shut up and go back to Aquaria, Zelpher," Glou muttered and then pulled Albel out of the sand and dragged him down the street.
END OF FLASHBACK!
"…That was a bad day…" Albel muttered
"It was real easy beating you up too…" Nel laughed
"Anymore questions?" Albel tried to change the subject
"Sure pretty pony Albel! I've a question for Cliff, How could you forget Mirage?" Blue asked
"Just a moment" Nel walked down the stairs and brought up a dazed Cliff,
"Um…I forgot her because someone," Cliff glared at Nel who looked innocently at him, "Gave me amnesia!"
"Ok! Nice talking to you Cliff!" And Nel promptly pushed him back down the stairs
"Sorceress Myst you're on the air," Albel said
"Hey this question is for Nel but I must talk to her in secret," Sorceress Myst said. Shrugging Nel picked up the phone and walked out of the room to hear the secret message. When she came back she was grinning
"What are you going to do to me?" Albel asked warily
"Oh…nothing…hey is that Shelby falling out a window?" Nel pointed out the window
"Where?" Albel looked eagerly out the window. Suddenly there was a thud and Albel was a victim of the Male Mind Control Device of the previous chapter
"Sweet! It works!" Nel grinned as she pressed a button on the remote control and Albel started doing back flips.
"Well we know he's not gay because that helmet only works on straight people…now you should think of something funny and humiliating for him to do,"
"Well I don't know if this is humiliating or not…but…" Nel grinned evilly and suddenly Albel ran out of the room. He came back holding the king of Airyglyph
"Hey what's the meaning of this Albel?" The king sounded shocked. Albel said nothing and quickly pulled the king's robe over his head, stole his crown and yelled "I'm king of the cheese ball!" and then swiftly jumped out the window…pulling the king with him.
"Wow…that was…interesting," Sorceress Myst said
Nel was laughing her head off, "God he is never going to live that down!" she held up the mind control helmet (which she snuck off his head as he fell out the window,) and hid it before the door opened. Albel looked furious as he sat down.
"Any thing else," he grimaced
"Yeah Nel, give Albel a kiss on the lips!"
"WHAT?"
"You heard me; it should be easy for you two."
"…" Nel made a face but kissed Albel. After a few seconds they pulled apart, blushing.
"Jeez Zelpher I didn't know you felt that way!" Albel grinned wickedly
"Shut up you kissed me too," Nel said, and Albel shut up
"So…Albel…did you enjoy that kiss?" Sorceress Myst asked
"…Maybe…" Albel said blushing
"Aww! You two are so cute!" the caller said
"Yeah…anyway…next caller," Nel blushed red
"Hey this is lil creator again and I'm just wondering if you will actually marry Albel and have kids with him," lil creator said
"Um…" Nel glanced around, "Well at the rate things are going then probably yes," she blushed
"Well what are the kids' names going to be? And you can't choose, Nevelle, Glou, Clair and Mirage," lil asked
"Um…" Nel started not knowing what the answer would be
"Damon Crosell, Albel of course," Albel said mockingly, reminding her of Chapter 2
"Ha, ha very funny," Nel said sarcastically, "seriously I think I would name them after my friends…but who knows,"
"Ok then…well Albel, I heard that Target is having a sale on pink skirts…I mean sarongs…" lil said
"Really?" Albel looked pensive (A/N: ha! I learned what pensive means…I love that word…)
"You cannot leave this show to buy skirts you moron," Nel warned him pulling out a dagger
"…Fine I'll wait until after…"
Nel gave him a funny look, "Uh…Next caller, looking to be someones pet,"
"Yeah, well my first question, Nel when are you and Clair going to come out of the closet? It's obvious you two love each other!"
"Uh…we're just friends…" Nel said weirdly
"Surrreee…Albel, can I be your pet?"
"What?" Albel looked confused
"You pet! Please?" they begged
"Uh…no?"
"Fine…" a sighing sound was heard, "well then my last question, Albel why do you have a claw instead of a fake arm?"
"…I like my claw…" Albel said
"No he just likes to feel big and strong so he has to have a claw," Nel said mockingly
"Damn you wetch!"
"Next caller, shinigami 656," Nel said giggling
"Ok then, Albel why are there lots of pictures of you making out with Nel on the internet?" shinigami asked
"…how come I don't know about these things?" Albel said angstly
"Because you suck at computers," Nel explained
"Do not!"
"Do so; do you even know what a URL is?" Nel challenged him
"Yeah! Unusually Rotten Log!" Albel answered superiorly
"Oookkkk…you just keep telling yourself that," Nel said rolling her eyes
"Well there are loads of those pictures because a ton of people have too much time on their hands," Albel answered the question
"Ok, so is your hair originally black and blond?" shinigami asked another question
"Yeah…not sure why…" Albel became pensive again
"Because you have no idea how to use hair dye," Nel giggled
"…Damn it Zelpher must you always aggravate me?"
"Yep,"
"Next question, Nel, if Albel asked you to marry him, would you say yes?"
"at the rate things are going today probably yes," Nel said sighing
"Yeah I mean we've kissed at least twice today…" Albel said
"Speaking of which…I dare you guys to share a kiss!" shinigami grinned
"Lord…" but they both began kissing again
"Is everyone HAPPY now?" Albel asked
"Sure…well I gotta go, I love your outfit by the way," shinigami added as the phone went dead
"…someone loves my outfit!" Albel grinned happily (or happily for him anyway)
"Wow…one person out of 1000000," Nel said sarcastically
"………" Albel glared at her
"Deathblade Prime you're on the air!" Nel said laughing at Albel's frustration
"Albel…" Deathblade began but Albel interrupted him
"Is this going to involve me getting hated in some form?" Albel asked warily
"Unfortunately probably not," Deathblade answered
"Good…ask then,"
"Has anyone tried to glue an oven mitt to your claw?"
"…yes…Peppita has tried twice…"
"Heh…she needs better superglue" Nel laughed
"Anything else?" Albel growled, glaring at Nel
"Yeah, what kind of hard liquor do you drink?" Deathblade asked
"Ye Olde Cyder," Albel answered promptly
"Wow you knew that right off the bat," Nel noted
"Yeah well I like the stuff," Albel defended himself
"Bet you could use a keg of that right now," Deathblade said
"You have no idea," Albel muttered
"So…have you two ever had the urge to beat Lasselle into a bloody pulp?"
"All the time," they both answered at the same time
"…jeez you guys must really hate him"
"He's annoying!" Nel exclaimed
"Ditto," Albel said
"Well I must leave, but before I forget…Nel, Tynave will…" suddenly there was a knock on the door, "well that must be her, never mind then," and the phone went dead
"Lady Nel! These arrived for you!" Tynave said and dropped a plain box onto the desk. Inside there was a silver dagger with runes on the blades that…
"Oh crap those things shoot lightning," Albel groaned
Nel grinned, "Oh this show will get very interesting soon…" and she put the dagger back into the box for safe keeping.
"Last caller, Albel The wicked one," Albel said and then stopped, "Hey that's my name!"
"…" Nel sighed as Albel started to rant, "Shut up skirt boy!"
"Albel…why are you so cute?" Albel the wicked one asked
Albel grinned, "Well it is a Nox family secret and I must tell no one!"
"Two words, Plastic Surgery," Nel answered rolling her eyes
"Ha, ha very funny," Albel muttered
"Do you have a brother?" the caller asked
"…no…I had only my parents," Albel said trying to get people to feel sorry for him
"And all those girls that tagged around you just because you were the only boy they could get to come to a slumber party," Nel reminded him
"Thanks a lot," Albel mumbled
"Well that's all the time we have for today. Tune in again to Elicoorian Radio!"
"But really please DON'T!" Albel added
"Lightning Blast!"
"AHHHHH!"
