And now for some random stuff which has two obvious references that I just had to put in. ;)

Random Moments

The battle between the two beauties was almost at an end.

"It's over, my rival!" Celica declared. "With this last strike, I will end you here and now!"

"Nooooo!" Shina whined. "I still have...so much to live for!"

"Meet your maker! Hiiiiiyah!"

"ARGH!"

'Game over...Player One...Wins!'

"No way...I lost that one?" Shina asked as she put the controller down.

"Hmhm, so close and so far." Celica replied she put hers down as well. "Guess Al's choice to get a Switch for our apartment was a great idea."

"Yeah, this game was really good. Although correct me if I'm wrong, but Al won this as part of a competition prize, right?"

Celica nodded. "Yeah, she took part in a dance contest at her school and she won...somehow."

"Hmm, I wonder where she is right now."

Al was in town and was looking forward to getting an ice cream from the vendor near the shopping mall.

"I want an ice cream!" She declared happily.

"What's the magic word?" The ice cream vendor responded.

Al's eyes suddenly glowed yellow and a green flame appeared around her. "SUCIMAERCECI SUCIEME!"

Suddenly, the vendor turned into an ice cream and Al grabbed it with a hand, just before it hit the ground.

"Wow...it really worked." She said. "Actually, I'll have an ice lolly instead...maybe chocolate."

That was the first of many crazy moments witnessed on this day, but not the last.

"Wait, where did Clea go?" AL asked to no one in particular.

"Come on, babe!" A customer whined. "Can't your lower the price a little, I'm not made of money."

"Sorry, but I didn't get to where I am by being cheap." Clea replied. "That's my final offer or you can you forget it."

"Tch, can't believe you won't let me have that muffin plushies for less than you're selling." The customer sighed. "What time is it anyway?"

"IT'S MUFFIN TIME!" The muffin plushie yelled.

"Actually, it's 12:30." Clea corrected.

"SOMEBODY KILL ME!"

The customer blinked in horror. "You know what...that muffin plushie...I don't need it. Bye!" He then ran away as fast as his legs could carry him.

Clea sighed. "There goes another potential deal. I should've given this to Lily before I got here, where is she right now?"

"Goodness me, I never thought waiting in line would be this frustrating." Lily said as she tapped her foot near the checkout at a music store. "Why is it the employees here are on short supply?"

"Hey come on, give me a chance at least." An employee replied as he stood behind the cashier desk.

"Hmm, this young man has black hair and wears glasses. And I thought I saw a black cat looking through the window, but I must be seeing things." She muttered before looking at him. "Oh, don't mind me, it's just this that I'm wanting to buy."

The guy nodded and the purchase was made before Lily left the store with an audio CD she bought.

"Alright, I should have the entire collection of Love Songs that Shina has been looking for. Now to travel back home and hide it away so it can be a surprise."

"Oh, hi there, Lily." A voice greeted.

"Hm?" She looked to her left to see one of Arata's friends. "Oh, hello there Sumika, what brings you here today?"

"Just a little errand for Rin's sake. What about you?"

"Well, I just bought an audio CD for Shina, she has been looking for a collection of love songs now that she has her first love."

Sumika smiled. "I see, looks like Arata finally made the move. I'm happy for him."

"I believe that we all are. Although I cannot help but feel somewhat jealous that Shina has found love, but the rest of us have yet to do so."

"I know that feeling, but you shouldn't rush it. You should let it take it's time. Before you know it, you'll have someone to love too."

"Hmm, I believe you're quite right. Now then, I must be going back home, you take care, alright?"

Sumika nodded. "Sure, you too."

Lily smiled and left the shopping mall.

"Shina, you are a lucky girl..." She sighed. "...good thing I didn't have those kinds of feelings or this could've gotten really awkward."

"Ah...ACHOO!" Shina covered her mouth as she sneezed.

"Are you catching a cold?" Celica asked.

"No, I think someone was just talking about me."

"Wow, that's really creepy."

Shina wiped her face with a tissue. "It's okay, it happens sometimes. Anyways, shall we play another game?"

"Sure, how about this one with the sport games on it?"

"Okay! Let's have more fun until the girls came back home!"

Celica got the console starting up again and resumed with thier gaming.

Yeah, this one was kind of a filler chapter of sorts, which means that it'll time to wrap up this story soon.
