Sorry for being sooo late! I could say I was busy with school, but the truth is I was a little lazy, but here's a new chapter! Yay!

Chapter Twelve: The Weirdness Continues…

Capturing Steiner was the easy part, putting him in a dress was a totally different matter all together.

After stuffing him Aiko's old bride's maid dress, the two females look at him, debating on his appearance.

The dress was short sleeve, so his arms were exposed, making him look very unfeminine. Thank Goddess the dress reached his ankles, 'cause he hadn't shaved in a good while.

"You make one ugly girl," Nami stated.

"Shut up," Steiner muttered. Feeling obviously embarrassed and displeased after being stuffed in the dress; this was giving him a serious wedgie.

Aiko tapped her chin, musing. "It needs something."

"I have just the thing." With that, Nami walked to one corner of the room where her bag had been momentarily discarded, after briefly searching through its' contents, she pulled out a mass of brown hair or, as some would call it, a wig.

Steiner grimaced noticeably, but no one was going to help him out of this situation.

"I am not wearing a wig! Especially, one with a bow!!" Indeed, the wig did have a bow, the only good thing about the bow was that it was black, but that make up the fact that it was still a bow, in Steiner's eyes, at least.

"If you complain one more time, I will put makeup on you." Nami threatened, and she probably meant it to.

That shut him up real quick.

After putting on the finishing touches, (Such as shaving his legs, ouch) they were ready for part two of their plan.

Location: Blue Bar, Objective: Marlin, Percent of failure: pretty big.

The Blue Bar that night was filled with its 'regulars', Rock, Kassy, (Patrick had already drank too much.) and Marlin.

Outside both girls stressed that he had to do anything, and they meant anything to let Marlin know that Aiko had never kissed him, and that he was, pardon my French, a jackass.

After his briefing, he was shoved into the bar, tripping ungracefully on the hard wooden floor.

Sitting at the counter with to empty glasses in front of him and starting on a third, Marlin did not notice this entrance and only saw 'Aiko' standing like a shy flower that was still a bud, waiting to bloom. Either love is blind or he is really drunk, maybe even both.

Steiner decided it would be best not to speak and merely indicated with his index finger for Marlin to come closer, Marlin did so, quite happily.

Alright, what now? Steiner thought. After a momentary inner debate, he decided to just wing it.

"Well," He began, sounding terribly high-pitched and so different from Aiko. "I heard that you've been telling everyone you…kissed me. And…I find this to be very untrue!"

Outside, Aiko slapped her forehead.

"Well, this is more amusing then I thought it'd be," Nami commented quietly.

Back inside the bar, Marlin looked confused, hurt even. But soon his brain fogged with alcohol came up with a plan about how do deal with this.

"Then let's make it true." He said, leaning in with his lips puckered out, ready for a kiss.

I am so not going yaoi with this guy! Steiner mind rushed as he thought of what to do, he had to be quick, and the lips were coming closer! So, he did the first thing that came to mind.

He slapped him.

Everyone inside and outside the bar was shocked, even Nami was a bit surprised. Marlin stood holding his increasingly reddening cheek and staring at 'Aiko' stupidly.

Steiner then decided it would be best to leave now and stumble out the bar door.

The bar was quiet for a long while after that, until Rock decided to express his opinion.

"That was harsh, man." He breathed. Marlin then told him where shove it.

Griffin and Kassy shook their heads at the antics of the young ones. When would they learn?

The trio walked too Turtle Swamp, thinking it be the best place not to be eavesdropped on, not even by Ruby.

"Well, I think that went well. Don't you?" Steiner said, grinning.

"You don't want my opinion." Nami stated coolly.

"What are you talking about?! I was great! I should become a great actor!" He roared proudly.

"You couldn't play a female correctly. How can you even hope to play the hero properly?" What she said was true, no doubt about it, but Steiner only growled at her.

Aiko, who had been biting her cheek to keep from laughing at the scene, finally let out a small giggle at the two. They fought like a married couple, no, more like how her brother and she fought, like siblings.

"So, how do you two know each other?" This question had been on her mind for awhile, how could two people so different, know each other so well, it seemed?

They both exchanged glances with each other, seeming to debate on whether to tell her or not.

"Well…" Steiner dragged out the word, as if he wasn't sure where to start.

But there was always Nami who got immediately to the point.

"We're siblings."

Hehe... Were yo expecting that, Awesome Rapidash-san? I promise to explain more in the next chapter about how I came up with this, and so will Nami and Steiner, 'kay? See you next chapter! Oh, and... review!
