Chrono: Huh… I feel different, like something changed.
Me: Something DID change in you.
Aion: Ooh—did you turn him into a girl?
Chrono and Me: (glare)
Me: Not. At. All. You all are no longer a General/None genre story. You are now a Humor/Romance story!
Azzy: Why did you just change it now?
Me: Eh heh… 'Cuz I just remembered?
Azzy: Oi…
Me: You know, I feel different, too!
Satella: Vat did you smoke zis time?
Me: Hey, whaddya mean "ZIS time"? I have never done anything unlawful… concerning drugs. What I meant was—hooray! I finally did instant messager! Twice! And lost a ton of sleep in the process.
Chrono: So THAT'S why this chapter took so long.
Me: You'd better believe it.
New Guy: Wait, I feel different too. But I just came in, so the genre thing wouldn't affect me. Neither would AIM.
Me: Eh heh… Yeah… You're different because your eyes are now the correct color.
New Guy: They weren't before?
Me: No. They're gold, not blue. Go back and check, I fixed it. (thanks to Dethfan88 for that).
Others: (stares)
Me: WHAT?
Chrono: You ACTUALLY put an effort into something…scary…
Me: Y'know, I'm GLAD that this chapter puts you to shame.
Chrono: Wait a minute—what?
Me: Here we go—next chappie!
Chrono: I have a bad feeling about this…

The boy smiled at Rosette, making her blush. He lifted his hand in a small wave and said to her "Hey, what's up?" Rosette practically fainted. She stumbled to one side, threatening to fall over.
'W-what's wrong with me?' she thought, 'Why do I feel so floaty all of a sudden? Why is it that the ground feels like it's disappearing from under my feet?' Rosette's mind swirled with flustered ideas. Being so distracted with all these new feelings, she began to lose her balance for real and topple over.
"Hey!" shouted the boy as Rosette began to faint. He dropped his school bag and dashed over to her just in time to catch her before she hit the ground. Rosette's vision blacked out and she lost all her senses. But the last thing she saw was the boy's concerned golden eyes.

"…s…iss…"
Rosette could hear a faint voice reaching out to her.
"…Miss? Hey are you alright?"
She slowly opened her eyes to find that gorgeous boy leaning over her.
"Are you okay?"
"!" Rosette quickly sat up. "W-what happened? Where's the bus? Oh no! Did I miss the bus? Tell me I didn't—please!"
"Hey, hey," said the boy, waving his hands at Rosette. "Calm down, you were only out for a minute."
Rosette sighed in relief. "Good,"
The boy chuckled. "You gave me quite a scare. Do you have a fever or something?"
Rosette stared at him. "Fever…? Well, my brother is sick with one, but I'm pretty sure that I'm fine."
The boy held his chin, thinking. "Then why did you faint like that?"
Rosette blushed, she didn't want to tell him that it was because he was so cute; that'd seem like she was a stalker or something. "Hey," shouted someone coming out of the building behind them. "I saw what happened," he said. It was a small boy, a grade schooler, with big glasses and black hair. "Hey lady, have you eaten today?" Rosette shook her head. "Case closed, then! You were just really hungry!"
"Go to school, Jimmy!" shouted the cute boy.
Jimmy stuck his tongue out at the boy and said "why don't you make me, metal head?"
'Metal Head' clenched his right fist and shook it at the smaller boy menacingly. "I could if I wanted to." Jimmy took a step backwards, muttering something about being late, and then dashed off down the street. The cute boy sighed.
"…Metal head?" asked Rosette after a moment.
The boy turned to her and laughed nervously. "It's a nickname that some of my neighbors use."
"How come?"
"'Cuz I'm always blasting heavy metal music at three in the morning." Rosette giggled; the boy smiled. "Oh, by the way, my name's Edward."
"I'm Rosette, Rosette Christopher." said Rosette, holding out her hand.
"Charmed to meet you, Miss Christopher," said Ed, taking her hand and kissing it lightly. Rosette's face went bright red; he's so suave! "?" Ed looked up, then back at Rosette. "Looks like the bus is here," he said, standing up and helping Rosette up as well. He went to pick up his bag, and still holding Rosette's hand, boarded the bus.
Rosette looked around. 'Grr…only one seat left.' She sighed. 'Guess I'll have to stand, again…'
"Here," said Ed, motioning to the open seat, "you sit—I'll stand." Rosette, blushing all the while, did so.
'Eeeeekkk!' she squealed mentally, 'Omigosh, he's such a gentlemen! Hm…I could get used to this…' "So, uh, Ed," asked Rosette, he turned to her and smiled.
"Yeah?"
"How come you were at the bus stop? I've never seen you there before."
"Oh, well, I'm a new student at Seventh Bell—actually, more like a transfer student. You see, my brother's already a senior there, and we live with my uncle, Roy, and he decided to move closer to the school so my brother could get there easier. I guess I just got caught up in it all, so now I'm going there with him."
"So…why didn't you just come here in the first place?"
"Well…let's just say that the entrance exams didn't go as planned."
"Huh? Whaddya mean?"
"Eh heh…all I'll say is: a doodle of a dog chasing its tail ISN'T the answer to 'who was the general that led the Roman army to victory against Carthage'."
"So then how'd you get in this time?"
"A little less doodling and a lot more writing goes a long way." Rosette laughed. "Hey," said Ed, getting Rosette's attention, "we're here."
Once the two had gotten off the bus and through the front gates, Ed still refusing to let go of Rosette's hand, Rosette finally thought of something. "Hey Ed, what's your class schedule like?"
He finally let go of her hand and thought for a moment. "I think I have first period with Señor Ricardo, and then second period with Mrs. Grace."
"…You mean, like, Spanish and Global History?" he nodded. Rosette had to try with all her might not to scream. 'This is heaven!' she thought, 'The universe DOES like me, it really DOES!' She suppressed a giggle before asking "So…what do you have third period?"
"Miss Hendric's class, I think."
"Oh…" said Rosette, slightly disappointed. "And after that?"
"St—"
Ding Dong Ding Dong! (get to class or we'll release the hounds!)
"Oh, see you in a little bit!" called Ed as he ran for the front doors.
"Yeah…" sighed Rosette dreamily.
X
"Tenemos una estudiante nueva hoy. Se llama Eduardo." announced Señor Ricardo to the class. Rosette showed a very big smile when Ed walked in. 'Yes,' she thought, 'today is going to be a VERY good day…'
X
"Alright, class," said Mrs. Grace, turning to face her students. "You all have a test over the Catholic Reformation in two days, so we're going to be spending today and tomorrow reviewing." Rosette looked around the classroom, scanning every face, but she couldn't see Ed anywhere. She sighed and slumped down in her desk, thoroughly disappointed.
"Psst," she heard behind her. "Hey Rosette," it was Chrono, "what's wrong?" But before Rosette could answer, Mrs. Grace whipped around and chucked a piece of chalk at Chrono, hitting him square in the head and leaving a bright red mark.
"Quiet, you!" she yelled.
X
Ding Dong Ding Dong! (change classes)
Rosette walked out of Miss Kate's classroom in silence. Mary, Anna, and Claire soon caught up with her, but they also said nothing. After a few moments Rosette decided that it was time to speak again. "That was disturbing." she said.
"I know…" said Anna.
"Mundo creep-ola." said Mary.
"I miss the old Kate." stated Claire. The girls thought back to the good old days, the days when Miss Kate would lose her temper over the tiniest things, but more specifically; Rosette. Oh, how she used to nearly snap students' necks, or dish out three chapters worth of homework in one night. That gnarled face, those fists of death, just thinking about it made the girls nostalgic. But now, (shudders), now Miss Kate was so happy, nothing made her snap! There hadn't been an assault in three days! The only questions the girls could think of were: What was she smoking? Where'd did she get it? And how could she afford for it on a teacher's salary?
Anna stopped and grinned wickedly. "Oh girls…?" she cooed. "Do you remember who's in our choir?" Mary and Claire's faces lit up. "Chrooonnnoooo!" they sung together. The three girls began to giggle madly, quickly scooting along to the choir room. When they arrived, they swung the door open and rushed over to the rock star; chanting their love of him. Rosette sighed.
"Gets old after awhile, doesn't it?" asked someone behind her. Rosette whipped around, making herself dizzy, and the fact that who she saw was drop-dead-gorgeous made her even more dizzy. Ed waved at her. "'Sup?"
Rosette turned bright red; she felt those butterflies begin to flutter around in her stomach again. "Uh—h-hi!" she stuttered. Ed chuckled.
"Sorry," he said.
"Eh? For what?"
"I think I told you that I had Mrs. Grace second period. My teacher's name is actually Miss Trace."
"Th-that's okay!" squeaked Rosette, still a little flustered. "It's your first day—I couldn't expect you to know your schedule already!"
Ding Dong Ding Dong! (start class, or we'll dock your pay!)
"Quiet down everyone!" yelled Steiner, walking in at the last moment. "Now, I believe that we have yet another new student with us. Would you please stand up, Mr. …uh…"
"Elric," said Ed, rising from his seat, "Edward Elric." He grinned broadly at the class, making most of the girls blush. But then Aion, being the glory hog that he is, nudged Genai and Viede and made them do a Kodak-moment-dazzle-grin with him, effectively drawing the attention of the girls back to them. Ed huffed and flopped back down. He leaned over to Rosette and whispered "self-esteem issues, much?" Rosette giggled.
Chrono glared at the boy sitting in front of him. 'Is this guy the reason why Rosette seemed so distant today?' Chrono shook his head. 'Nah…he's just a new kid and Rosette's just trying to make him feel welcome.' Chrono nodded in agreement with himself. But when he saw the boy lean over to Rosette and whisper some remark that made her giggle, Chrono clenched his fist. 'Just trying to make him feel welcome…' he told himself.
"Oh no…" mumbled the teacher, riffling through his tot bag. "Where is…?" he groaned, starting another search through his belongings. Steiner sighed. "Well class," he began sadly, "it seems that I have misplaced my lesson plans…again."
Ed once again leaned over to Rosette and whispered "Is he senile or just stupid?" He then pointed to Steiner's roller-chair that was sitting opposite the desk. On it was the manila folder that teachers keep lesson plans in. Rosette quickly buried her face in her hands; shoulders trembling, trying very hard not to crack-up.
'Just trying to make him feel welcome, just trying to make him feel welcome…' Chrono kept repeating in his head. He opened his eyes and glance over at Rosette again. The new kid was leaning over to her and grinning while she was trying her best to stifle a laugh. 'Just trying to…' "That's it!" yelled Chrono, quickly rising to his feet and slamming his hands down on the table. The entire class turned and stared at him.
"What do you mean?" asked Steiner, utterly confused.
"What he means is," said Shader quickly, covering for Chrono's blunder. "He's going to sing to make up for the lost lesson!"
"WHAT?" shouted Chrono, whipping around to Shader.
"Brilliant idea!" said Steiner.
"YAY!" cheered the class.
"But—But—" stuttered Chrono. "SHADER!" he whispered angrily, "I'm not going to sing!"
"Deal with it!" she whispered back. "You're the one that started this!"
"How about 'rewrite'?" suggested one of the girls.
"Yes," said Shader, trying to keep her cool. "Why don't you sing 'rewrite' for us?"
"No way!" spat Chrono.
"Do it!" hissed Shader.
"Sing, sing, sing!" chanted the class while Chrono tried to get out of it. The students started to become impatient; a thick feeling, like the one before a riot, began to seep into the air.
"Hey," said Ed, standing up and picking up one of the guitars from its stand (the choir room they were in was also the band room). "You wanna hear 'rewrite', right?"
"Pfftht!" snorted one of the boys. "Like you can sing it—it's THEIR song!"
"Oh yeah?" taunted Ed, beginning the intro to the song.
Rosette sat back in her chair, curious to see how Ed would do.
kishin da omoi o hakidashitai no wa
sonzai no shoumei ga ta ni nai kara
Rosette leaned forward, propping her chin in her hands. 'Wow…' she thought, 'he's really good…'
tsukan da hazu no boku no mirai wa
"songen" to "jiyuu" de nujun shiteru yo
Chrono growled. 'Show off…'
yugan da zazou o keshi saritai no wa
jibun no genkai o soko ni miru kara
Ed glanced down at Rosette and she smiled up at him and gave him a thumbs-up. Ed winked, making her blush. Chrono clenched his fists tighter, forcing himself to stay seated this time.
jiishiki kajou no boku no mado ni wa
kyonen no KARENDAA hidzuke ga nai yo
Ed slammed a few cords, going into the chorus and getting his audience riled up.
Keshite! RIRAITO shite!
kudaranai chou gensou
wasurarenu sonzai kan o
kishikaisei!
RIRAITO shite!
imi no nai mousou mo!
kimi o nasu dendouryoku!
zenshin zenrei o…
kure yo…
oohhh…
He ended the song short, but the class loved it nonetheless. They cheered and wooted for him. Ed even got a little silly and took a goofy bow.
"Alright, Ed!" cheered Rosette, whistling. Ed stuck his hand behind his head and laughed; Rosette giggled along with him.
The entire class wanted an encore! They refused to stop clapping until Ed played another song. They were shouting things like "You rock, Ed!" "That was awesome!" and "You're better than Chrono!" Even Shader was chanting for him.
Speaking of Chrono, though, he had given up on being mad. Instead, he quietly got out of his seat and slinked away into the hall with his backpack. He sat down outside the closed door to the choir/band room and waited for the bell to ring. Unfortunately, before it could, Chrono had to listen to Ed play another song for his adoring fans. Thank goodness it wasn't one of the Sinners' songs this time.
As the minutes ticked away and Ed was done performing, Mr. Steiner finally found his lesson plan and begun a shorted version of it. No one seemed to notice that Chrono was missing, but he was glad that they didn't. He didn't want to go back in there and have to watch Rosette laugh and smile at whatever that Elric guy said. Chrono drew his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs, burying his face. 'Why?' he thought. 'Why does Rosette smile so much when she's around him? Didn't she know that I was right there? Did she even care?' Chrono held his legs tighter—it made his stomach sick to think about Ed with Rosette. Tears stung at the corners of his eyes, but he held them back. 'Why can't she laugh like that for me?' He heard a small crash from inside the classroom and the entire class crack-up. But above everyone else's voices, he heard Ed and Rosette the loudest; and a single tear slipped down Chrono's cheek.

Ding Dong Ding Dong! (change classes, you scallywags!)
The door to the choir room swung open and the students begun to pour out; all chatting and complaining about their next class. Chrono lifted his head a little just in time to see Rosette walk out with Ed; holding hands. They didn't even see little Chrono down there on the floor. He wanted to cry again, but resisted it when he heard a voice address him. "Chrono?" it was Shader. "What'cha doin' down there?"
He shook his head and stood up. He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and muttered "I have to get to class."
"But," started Shader as he walked away, "we have lunch next…"
X
"So…" started Rosette, sitting down at one of the tables with her lunch tray, "when do I get to meet your brother?"
"Hm?" Ed looked up at her with his fork dangling from his mouth. He shrugged. "I haven't seen him all day." He said, taking his fork into his hand.
"Hey, Rosette?" asked Anna, sitting down beside the two. "Didn't you say that Joshua was out sick today?" Rosette nodded. "That's weird…I could've sworn that I saw him while on my way to the cafeteria."
Rosette blinked. "Huh?"
X
'She likes Ed…She likes me. She likes Ed…' thought Chrono as he picked off petals from a dandelion. He wasn't hungry; he wasn't even in the cafeteria. He had decided to go outside and hide in one of the nooks of the outer walls where no one would find him. 'She likes Ed…She likes me. She likes…' Chrono stopped before he could pull the final petal off. He grunted and crumpled what remained of the flower in his hand and threw it away. 'What does some stupid flower know about this?' he thought angrily. 'Nothing! That's what! …Just like me…I don't know what's going on either…' He raised his hand and placed it over his heart, which for some reason, ached like it never had before. He felt tears threatening to fall again. He shook his head roughly. "No!" he told himself. "I'm not going to cry! If Rosette likes someone else, that's fine with me! It…really…is…" His arms went limp and his chest felt squeezed shut, making it seemingly impossible to breathe. "It…is…" he repeated. He bit his lower lip, forcing back tears once more. He moaned. "Why, Rosette? Why are you doing this to me?"
X
"Welcome, students," greeted Mr. Remington, "to another lesson on poetry." No one groaned or complained. When it came to Mr. Remington's class, poetry was always welcomed. Somehow, he made it fun. "Edward?" asked the teacher. "I understand that you're a new student. Would you care to read some free verse for us?" Ed nodded, and Remington gave him a moment to compose something. Edward then stood up, cleared his throat, and began.
Her sweet smile brightens the room,
Her beautiful eyes sparkle cornflower blue
Her golden hair glistens in the country sun
She is my one and only.
When Ed sat down again, the class, and even the teacher, applauded him. Rosette smiled at him with sparkly eyes. "What's gotten into you?" she shook her head and said "nothing," quite dreamily.
Chrono didn't look up. He tried to tune out everything around him; focusing only on the groove that he was engraving into the desk with his pencil. Chrono sighed, it was times like this that he hated being in five of Rosette's classes. The lead of his pencil snapped. 'Five…?' he asked himself. 'Oh no… that means that next period I have…'
X
"I want three laps out of all of you today—no exceptions!" yelled Coach Gilliam as the gym class lined up at the starting line. "You all are going to run the mile in two days, so consider this practice!"
Chrono groaned; this is exactly why he hadn't wanted to come back to school. If there was one thing more horrible than dieing, it was physical education. Gilliam blew his whistle, signaling the class to start. The all broke away from the starting line in one huge group, slowly spreading out into their own speed limits. Chrono was of course dead last. He looked up a ways to the upper-middle section of the group where Rosette was keeping her pace nicely. Chrono smiled, Rosette was always trying her hardest, but he knew that eventually she would get tired and drop back to where he was, just like she had yesterday.
"Woohoo!" cheered Rosette, "Way to go, Ed!"
Chrono scowled. Why did she have to say that? Why couldn't she just let him forget about the last several hours of his life? But nevertheless, Chrono glanced up at the front of the runners. What was Rosette talking about? Ed wasn't in the lead!
"Hey, Slow-poke, what's up?" asked Ed as he dashed by Chrono.
Chrono stared…and stared…and…you get the idea. 'HE LAPPED ME!' he screamed silently, 'he actually lapped me!' Chrono, now with a strange new feeling of power, began to speed up. This was awesome! The wind whipping through his hair, the exhilarated sensation, the fact that in mere seconds, he'd no longer be in last place! "Ack!" Chrono tripped; a sudden pain in his side; the remainder of the runners slowly escaping him.
"Hey," asked someone approaching Chrono. "Are you okay?"
Chrono looked up at the person; it was Ed; which means that he had lapped Chrono—again. "Perfectly," grunted Chrono. Ed shrugged and continued his running. Chrono lay on the ground for a few moments, watching others run passed him, beginning their second lap.
"Great work, Elric!" congratulated Coach G. "I've never seen a better time, especially for someone with your condition! Which means…" he began irritably, "that the rest of you need to pick up the pace! This guy's from a different school! Which means that I've been going easy on you!" he blew on his whistle and the class groaned.
X
Eventually, Chrono had gotten back up and finished his three laps. And by the time he crossed the finish line for the final time and collapsed from exhaustion, everyone else had long since finished. As he lay on the ground panting, he once again heard Rosette praising Ed. "I don't have the energy for this…" mumbled Chrono, slowly sitting up.
"Hey Rosette!"
"Yeah?"
Chrono turned to face Rosette again to see Anna running up to her.
"I just saw him again!"
"What're talking about?"
Anna tsk-ed, but continued nevertheless. "Joshua! When I came out of the restroom just now, I saw him!"
"Are you sure it was him?"
"Yes!"
"Coach G.?" called Rosette. "May I go to the restroom?"
"Are you done with your laps?" Rosette nodded. "Then, sure, knock yourself out."
Rosette then dashed off towards the building with Anna and Ed behind her. "Mind if I come?" asked Ed.
Rosette blushed and shook her head. "No! Not at all!"
Chrono watched the trio running towards the school, but was too tired to follow.
X
Rosette burst through the side doors and ran straight for the restroom, stopping in front of them. "Where did you see him?" she shouted. Anna pointed across the hall to the black-box theater. "Wait a minute…He doesn't take any theater classes, so why—"
"I'm telling you I heard someone out here!" came a voice from the theater room.
"It's a hallway, Joshua, of course there's going to be someone out there."
Joshua came out of the theater room and stared at the three people in front of him. "Oh, hi Rosette!" he said smiling.
Rosette rushed up to him like she was going to kill him, but instead only got up in his face and shouted "Why are you here? You're sick—you should be at home resting!"
"But I HAD to come! I would've been thrown out if I had missed—"
"WHAT?" she screamed. "Thrown out of WHAT?"
"The play. Today's the first practice and if I missed it, I would've been thrown out."
"Your health is more important than a stupid play!"
"Who is it, Joshua?" asked a small voice. Then, from out of the theater stepped a large suit of armor.
Said suit looked over at Ed and waved. "Hi, Brother!"
"AL!" screamed Ed. "What the hell?"
"Y-your brother is a s-suit of armor…?" asked Rosette, extremely confused.
The suit laughed and shook its head. He reached up and opened his chest plate, revealing a boy no older than 14. "It's just a costume for the play!" he said smiling.
"B-b-b-b-b-but…!" stuttered Rosette. "I thought you said your brother was a senior!"
"He is," huffed Ed. "Stupid S.O.B.'s smarter than hell." The boy in the suit laughed.
"And he's still taller, too…" said Rosette, stunned.
Ed twitched. "WHO'RE YOU CALLING SHORT?" he screamed. "MICROSCOPIC? OR—"
"I-I didn't say any of that!" cried Rosette.
Al laughed. "Don't worry, he always gets like this whenever someone mentions the 'S' or 'T' words. He's just short-tempered is all."
"I AM NOT SHORT!"
"See?"
Rosette and Anna laughed as Al flopped one of the armor's hands down on Ed's head. Ed turned slowly and looked up at his brother. "Y'know…that thing's REALLY heavy."
Al laughed. "Sorry…"
Ding Dong Ding Dong! (go home so we don't have to pay the teachers anymore!)
Rosette glared at Joshua again. "Hurry up and get ready. When we get home I'm going to make you—"
"You're one to talk." said Joshua.
"Huh?"
He pointed at her clothes. "You still need to change."
Rosette looked down at her outfit. "Oh CRAP! I'm going to be late, late, late!" she screamed as she ran off back to the locker rooms with Anna.
On their way, they passed Chrono. Rosette, being too distracted by her lateness, didn't say anything. Anna blushed and said 'hi'. Chrono grumbled something like a hello and continued walking. Anna's face went bright red. "Did you hear that?" she asked Rosette. "He talked to me! ME!" she giggled. Rosette ignored her and Anna growled. "That was rude, y'know! You can at least say 'hi' to the one and only Chrono!"
"Huh? Did you say something?" asked Rosette looking back at her friend.
Anna groaned. "Never mind…"
X
Chrono walked up to the two Elric siblings and glared at Ed. His hands were stuffed in his pockets and he refused to remove his scowl from his face. "Hey," he said darkly to get Ed's attention.
"What do you want?" asked Ed.
"…Stay away from Rosette, or else."
"Or else what?" taunted Ed, cracking his knuckles.

Azzy: Wow…that ending sucked.
Me: Who cares? I delivered a long chapter this time, so it doesn't matter.
Azzy: So…shorts chaps mean good endings and long chaps mean crappy endings?
Me: Pretty much.
Azzy: Oi…
Me: Oh yeah! Now, for 5 points, what—
Fiore: There you go with the point thing again. What's up with that?
Me: Guh? Didn't I already explain?
Others: NO.
Me: Oh, then let's do that now, shall we? Alright (clears throat and prepares to do advertisement) Have you ever wanted to read/see the Sinners' in bunny suits? Or for Joshua to get jiggy with Az?
Rosette: No!
Joshua: Yes.
Me: Then this is your chance! Consider it a contest—
Azzy: You're not allowed to do contests.
Me: —an opportunity, I (as have been proven by adding Ed) can and will do any weird thing that comes to mind. So, I've set this thing up where I ask questions and you all answer for points (as in last chapter I had the 20 point question where I'm glad a lot of you answered). First to 100 points (and maybe 2nd and 3rd, who knows? I'm making this up as I go along) gets to tell me what they want to see in the story, and I make it happen!
Chrono: There has to be a catch. What's wrong with this offer if you win?
Me: Well…I'd definitely say that Rose/Az "action" is prohibited…along with any dude on dude stuff. Other than that, pretty much anything goes.
Chrono: Even bringing in non-Chrono Crusade characters?
Ed: I'd say that'd be a YES.
Chrono: Hey…What're YOU doing here? This is CC characters only!
Ed: You've been proven wrong many times, and this is one of them.
Chrono: Grr…
Me: Quiet, yous! (smacks with newspaper) Anyway, as long as the request isn't too far out there (and that'd have to be pretty far) or exceed the rating, then its good!
Azzy: And if it makes no sense to the authoress, then she'll ask you for another idea! Even pan out the chapter it'll be in with you!
Me: Hey! Someone's finally catching on!
Azzy: That's because I'm a teacher…THAT and you wrote me to do so.
Me: Ahh…I love my job!
Azzy: Do you get paid?
Me: …CRAP! Anyhoo, I'll keep track of this on my own so you don't have to. And you can send answers via e-mail, personal message, or review, that's all 'cuz I'm too lazy for anything else. And once the chapter that the question was in is no longer the most recent update, the question is null and void, but feel free to answer it for fun anyway.
Ed: So…how many got the 20 pointer?
Me: Five. Now, here're the questions for this chappie:
5 points: What is the name of the show (Japanese or English) that Jimmy is from?
10 points: What is the name of the play that Joshua is in?
15 points: (Riddle) What starts with the prefix of "prefix" and ends in a sad emoticon? (Hint: Joshua loved it in ch. 4 (pt. 5))
Chrono: Are those supposed to be hard?
Me: Not if you were paying attention. And if 'ya need to look back at previous chaps for answers, go ahead, I can't stop 'ya.
Satella: Vat if we find zis to be a horribly stupid idea and a complete vaste of everyone's time? And zat you shouldn't be so lazy and come up vith your own ideas?
Me: Then say so. If everyone (or just a lot of people) don't like this idea, then I'll scrap it. Other than that, one last thing (bows down to Ed)
Chrono: What the hell are you doing?
Me: When I tacked him into the story, it was a spur of the moment thing. But now I realize that he makes every random idea I have fit. You are the glue of this story! (bows again)
Ed: Uhh… You're welcome?
Me: Now people—review!
Azzy: You don't have cosmic power to make them, you know.
Me: Hey, can't an authoress try?
Azzy: Oi…
