*sigh*….oh…..hey…..I'm back…..*sweat drop*.

Sorry…..but I feel like playing a new game that I never played or heard about….. but I'm not sure which one… does anyone have any suggestions?

flyboy179: I'm still thinking about the Tlachtga support.

Sketchy Tetra: I have an idea about how to get M.I.K.E to appear in the story, I just hope it's not too cheesy.

LoneArtist: yeah, you're probably right. As for your request, I think I can pull off something.

2lazy2signup: sorry…. But the requesting was over…..although I did technically do your request with chapter 13.

Musicstarnc: I guess I'm just going to have to check out your story every time a new chapter shows up* grin*.

sembiring kembaren: heh. I grew up pretty fast too…I still remember that time my mom grounded me for swearing at a spoiled bully in school…..*chuckle* Good times, Good times.

Anyway, this chapter follows from one of my more popular chapters.

Gale and Valerie C support.

Valerie:…..oh…..no…..this…. I ….. I don't even…..how can it come to this?

Gale: hey! Valerie! Where are you!

Valerie: Gale..? hmm…. Maybe he can help me?

Gale: sheesh! She calls me over when the bar is closed and then she doesn't show up. Just where is she?

Valerie: WHY, hello Gale! SO good of you to come at JUST the right moment!

Gale:*blank stare*….what's with that sickeningly sweet smile… just tell me what you want already.

Valerie: *sweat drop* heh, sorry… anyway, change in plans! I'm going to have to ask you to do something different for me this time.

Gale: you do realize that you still didn't tell what you wanted in the first place, so a "change in plans" sounds pretty pointless.

Valerie: I understand. But this is far more important than beating up a bunch of stalkers.

Gale: * glare* again! I'm getting quiet bored of your "over-enthusiastic" fans! I still have some bruises from valentine's day! …. And now that I think about it, you still haven't paid me back for all that mess!

Valerie: *sweat drop* sorry….. I never thought that some of them were crazy enough to challenge a highlander.

Gale: challenge? More like ganging up in groups of twenties and trying to kill me!

Valerie: I'm sorry about all the trouble. I'm also sorry about not paying you back yet…..but I really need your help this time, and if you help me than I swear you will get your reward immediately!

Gale: hmm….. how about telling me what kind of reward you're talking about.

Valerie: *smirk* first. answer this question. Are you in love with a certain woman?

Gale: wha-? What kind of question is that!?

Valerie: just answer! That way, I can tell if the reward is going to be of use.

Gale: tch! ….. well…. I MIGHT have someone special in mind.

Valerie: we are talking about a woman, yes? I don't think the reward will help with a man.

Gale:*horrified* IM STRIGHT!

Valerie: *giggle* I was just joking….. so, are you going to help me or not?

Gale:*grumble*.

Gale and Valerie B support.

Gale: wait. So YOUR trying to impress someone?

Valerie: yes…..he's a really sweet and kind protector….*sigh* if only I wasn't so blind all this time.

Gale: I see….. but what does escorting you to this….."herb house" got to do with anything?

Valerie: near the labyrinth. There is a small herb shop for adventurers….. and it just so happens that they have a secret recipe for losing weight and attaining a perfect female figure.

Gale: is….. is that why you usually eat all these sweets without gaining any weight?

Valerie: but wait! There's more! If you drink them with tea regularly, then your skin will slowly lose ALL THE OIL! And then, there will be no man that can resist you!

Gale: in case you haven't noticed. I'm not a woman…. And why are you talking like a salesmen?

Valerie: oh, hush now. These herbs are going to be your reward, so you might as well learn all you can about them.

Gale: huh? What? How come you just decide that!

Valerie: just think. Whoever you have your eye on will have a figure as perfect as mine.

Gale: I like her figure just fine… and I don't just like her looks, I like her personality too.

Valerie: oh, really….. so you won't try to get her in… a certain outfit?

Gale: what… what kind of outfit?

Valerie: oh….nothing much….. just the female dark hunter outfit.

Gale:*blush* that's as good as asking her to strip for me!

Valerie: *smirk* but don't you want to see her in her most "natural" state?

Gale:*blush* enough about my crush! Let's talk about YOURS! Why are you trying to do this anyway?

Valerie: I want to ensure that he won't find any reason to say no to me…..

Gale: hmm….. so he's not one of your crazy stalkers?

Valerie: of course not. I wouldn't have fallen for him if he was only after looks.

Gale: but aren't you just worrying about looks right now?

Valerie: oh, look! Were here! And without meeting any monster too!

Gale:*sigh* I'm not sure if this is a good idea….

Gale and Valerie A support.

Gale: hmm…. Maybe I should just leave, I mean, this is another guilds base….. but I have a strange feeling … I wonder how she's doing right now?

(Valerie walks out of the door slowly)

Gale: oh! There you are! So how did it…..go?

Valerie:*sigh* ….. he said he….. already had someone else.

Gale: oh….. I'm sorry to hear that.

Valerie: *sad smile* it looks like he finally got that medic he was hoping to impress….

Gale: huh? You mean… you knew he liked someone else?

Valerie: yes….. I was apparently too late in telling him my feelings.

Gale: that's kinda shocking…. I didn't think anyone would refuse you.

Valerie: I know….. and I tried to look so irresistible…. But he still chose that other woman..

Gale: you know… I had a feeling something was not right, it just looked like you were trying too hard.

Valerie: heh….. I guess I was just " too skin deep" for his taste.

Gale: that's not entirely true. Your always so nice to the other explorers, be they men or women. That's also one of the reasons why you have a lot of admirers.

Valerie: Gale….. that's so sweet of you to say…. Alright! Next time I won't hesitate!

Gale: wow. What's with the sudden determination?

Valerie: I won't let another wonderful man escape my grasp! The next time I meet someone like him or you….. I'll put on my most honest smile! … and my most charming dress.

Gale:* sweat drop* I'm not sure if you learned anything yet…. But I suppose it's an improvement…..wait? what do you mean " him or you"?

Valerie: *giggle* well…. You are rather charming and gallant.

Gale: *blush* sorry, but you're a little late.

Valerie: *smirk* heh. I wish you luck in your love journey, young highlander.

Gale: *grumble* sh-sh-shut up!

Sorry for the long wait.

I think I finally know what to do about M.I.K.E.

Again, if any of you know some good games, please tell me.

Please review, since I might be gone for a while.

Dreadgar out!
