Welcome back, everyone. Enjoy and review.

Once they had finished eaten lunch, Venus and Basil walked around town for a bit. Walking into a bookshop, Venus browsed through the books along with Basil. Basil was currently reading the novelization of the 1990 film "Dick Tracy", while she herself was currently reading "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland." Two books that were as different as could be: a novelization of a comic book noir film and a fantasy novel. Still, a person could read a wide range of books.

"So, how are things at A. Nigma?" asked Venus.

"Things are getting hectic with Chaz and the prank footage." Stated Basil. "I wasn't there for the prank, why should I care about why everyone is getting worked up?"

"Why are they getting worked up?"

"Some of the cool kids, my former clique, are feeling the footage will embarrass them! Well, I say let it! Its what they deserve for making me an outcast because I am interested in you. However, I must say that being branded an outcast was worth it."

Venus gave a small smile as she looked from the shelf she was standing before. Basil was looking at her as well, smiling just as small as she was.

"So… Anything you are looking for particularly?" asked Venus, blushing rather profusely.

"Just looking but finding some Burroughs novels would be good. I'm quite fond of his Barsoom novels. If it weren't for him there would be many works of fiction that never would have been. What about you?"

Venus gave a casual shrug. "I read a lot of things but I'm always on the look for good romances."
