Hey guys! Happy first week of school for those who are still stuck in school like I am. If you are not, you're probably worrying about taxes and life and stuff, so you have it a lot harder than I do and I shouldn't complain. Anyways, besides my odd start, it's time to be happy because it's a new chapter! I don't think there are any new characters in this chapter, but a couple gets together! I will go more into detail about plans I've changed below, so if you're curious to what I'm doing, read below! Happy reading!


The week was finally coming to a close, and fortunately, Tharja had that Friday off. After the past week of discovering three more children and taking two of them in (Nah was staying with Robin and Sumia until she could find a better living arrangement, but she hung out at the Exalt's house until school was over), she felt like taking a much needed break.

The dark haired woman decided to start looking for Halloween costumes for Orie so that she could take her trick or treating for the first time. Tharja was trying to convince Frederick to ditch the Band camping trip in order to be there for her, and for the most part, she was winning. The only problem was that they would need a chaperone to fill in for him, and while they'd ask Emmeryn any other year...

Tharja signed and shut her laptop, trying to think of a reasonable adult to look after the herd of kids. There was always Miriel, but she had her own child to look after. Philia had quit after Emmeryn's death and moved to find another job because she said it'd feel wrong to work for someone else while in the same office. She groaned and slammed her head on the counter, cursing for the thousandth time that her husband chose to be a band instructor for a group of kids with parent problems.

She was about to give up and wait to hear back from Frederick when something caught her attention; was someone cooking? The dark haired woman got up from her seat and wandered into the kitchen, surprised to find Noire pulling a cake out of the oven," You there."

"Eep?!" Her daughter nearly dropped the pastry, catching it in the nick of time. Unfortunately, the pan was still hot. She let out another surprised squeak and threw the dessert on the counter before running her hand under cold water," M-Mother!" Her face burned bright red when she realized the spectacle she had just performed in front of her mom," D-Did you need something?"

Tharja rose her eyebrow and motioned towards the cake," What are you doing? Are you trying to distract me?"

Noire blushed and hugged herself, wincing when she forgot about her burnt hand," Did I? I'm sorry, I didn't intend to, I swear."

"Why are you baking a cake, then?"

"Oh. That," The brunette fiddled with her sleeve, trying to find out the right way to explain the situation to her mother," Well, you see-"

Tharja groaned, not prepared to take on a full explanation," Nevermind, I don't care. Doesn't matter," Why did it have to be on her day off? Usually, she'd be relaxing, but now she had to make sure the house didn't blow up because of the extra four kids that weren't in school yet. She also wasn't quite used to the idea that her infant daughter was suddenly a nineteen year old-

Nineteen year old? That made her a legal adult. Tharja smirked," Actually, I have something I need you to do."

Noire perked up," R-Really? What is it?"

"The band is camping out on Halloween, and I need you to chaperone," Before she could think to protest, her mother cut her off," Don't make plans."

With that, the woman was gone. As soon as she left the kitchen, Noire cursed as quietly as she could and waved around her burnt hand. She was hoping that it would be different in the future. She didn't want to be as intimidated by her mother as she used to be, but now, she had just let the woman walk all over her.

"Hey, Noire! I'm here to put some cake in my belly!"

Noire squeaked again," Eep! O-Owain!" She turned to the familiar white haired boy and relaxed," Hello."

He hopped down the stairs and strolled up to her," Whoa, it smells amazing in here! It's making my mouth water."

The brunette rubbed her arm (with her good hand) shyly," I hope it's all right. Some of these proportions are a bit tricky," Her eyes trailed to the sink, which was filled to the brim with different measuring tools," If you want to wait a little bit, I can frost it for you."

"Nah, that's okay," He pulled two plates out of the cupboard along with two forks, handing one of each to Noire. Said girl took the cake knife out and carefully sliced to pieces before placing one on each plate," Bon appetite!" Owain didn't waste any time in digging in, taking a huge piece out of his cake," By the juggled axe of Kieran! This is amazing!"

Noire released the breath she didn't realize she had been holding," R-really? Oh, I'm so glad. I was positive I'd mess it up."

"It's like a lightning bolt of flavor from a fluffy nimbus of perfect texture!" He declared before scanning the area and whispering," Is this your mother's recipe? It tastes like magic!"

"N-No, not really. My mom isn't much of a cook," The brunette turned to the cookbook that he had helped her retrieve from the top of the fridge a few days ago," I just l-lit up once I saw this. I'd always wanted to try it, but...," She sighed, thinking back to the days that she had to scramble in order to get food," Well, we never had the ingredients."

Owain chuckled," Ha! Tell me about it! I spent most of my time in the future eating bugs," He took another bite and asked," So what do you call this delicious morsel, anyway?"

Noire opened her mouth to answer, but nothing came out. She quickly moved to retrieve the cookbook, frantically flipping through the pages," I...I don't know. The recipe never mentioned a name. It just says that it's chocolate cake."

"Then I must give it one!"

The nineteen year old tilted her head," Er...You will?"

Owain shrugged happily," Sure! If neither the book or you don't have a name for it, I doubt anybody does. I may as well give it a new one!"

"I...I suppose that's okay," There was no harm in letting the eccentric boy name the pastry. She was surprised that she didn't expect it from him, seeing that he named all of his weapons (even the sticks that he picked up).

The white haired boy beamed and took another bite, chewing slower than he had before with his eyes closed. Once he swallowed, the words rolled off of his tongue," A harmonious clash of sweet and bitter rise up through a field of earthen brown...A single whole, when sliced, shows two tiers joined by icing, as two hearts by love...It's coming to me...Brace yourself! It's...coming...to...me...!" His eyes flickered open and he pointed to the dessert," Behold! The Garden of Eternal Devotion!"

Noire gaped, shocked at how easily he had made his sentences flow. She had only heard phrasing and words like that in old legends and stories. It brought her back to before her father died; he would read her a new story every night, spinning unfathomable tales that would bring her far away from the wretched situation they were in. Hearing it again caused her heart to stop and her eyes to subconsciously close as she tried to grasp memories that were just out of her reach," That's...That's beautiful, Owain," She starting clapping, only to wince slightly. Darn her for constantly forgetting her burnt hand. She brushed off the brief pain and tried to cover her tracks with a smile," You're a poet! You just...poemed!"

"I did? I mean, um...," He adopted his colorful personality again and laughed it off," Ha ha ha! Of course I did...," Owain's eyes fell on her bright pink hand," Hey, did you burn yourself?"

"N-No-I mean, yes, but it doesn't hurt badly."

He rolled his eyes at that and gently took her hand in his," It may not hurt now, but it could get infected. It's best that we wrap it up quickly before it gets worse," Owain smirked," Fear not, milady! I will wrap thy wound!"

Without warning, he grabbed her waist and hoisted her up onto the counter. Noire let out a mortified squeak, embarrassed that she had to be pampered like a child," Eep! Owain, are you sure you know what you're doing?"

"Of course I do!" He replied, pulling a first aid kit out from underneath the sink," My mom was studying to be a doctor, remember? I learned my fair share of medical...stuff...," The white haired boy took her hand back and gently cleaned it before wrapping it in gauze," We need to share your cake with the others! I'm sure they'd love it, but we'd better eat it all before the others get home from school. I'm not sure there'd be enough unless you'd make another."

Noire shifted, thinking over her next words carefully," Um, so if I do...will you name it again? L-like before? I mean, like a poem?"

This time, Owain was the one to blush. His ears turned slightly pink, and he cleared his throat uncomfortably," S-sure, why not?"

"Is that cake I smell?" The two were pulled away from their conversation by Morgan and Nah, who were eyeing the dessert greedily," I don't suppose you're going to let us have some of that?"

Noire giggled and pulled an additional two plates out of the cupboard," I don't see why not!"

The rest of the day passed by rather easily, with the four kids enjoying the cake and chatting about school that they were going to start attending next week. While Morgan and Owain would be in the same school, Nah was going to have to start middle school, and Noire was going to take online courses while looking after her younger self for her parents.

Eventually, the rest of the family returned home from school. Chrom greeted Morgan by ruffling his hair before dragging himself upstairs to "get his homework out of the way". Lissa, who had brought Maribelle over to try and guilt her into finally asking Gregor out, followed her brother's suit. That left the other future children to hang out in the kitchen. Emmy sat herself next to Nah while Lucina stood between Owain and Noire. Frederick was the last one to entire the house, looking tired, yet motivated. He pressed a kiss on his daughter's head to greet hr and leaned into the living room," Tharja?"

The woman wandered into the kitchen and kissed her husband's cheek," I've got good news."

"Really? So do I," Frederick smiled," Ladies first, darling."

"I found a chaperone for your silly camp tradition."

The brown haired man blinked in surprise," Oh, have you? That's odd; I have also found someone willing to look after them. Do you remember Priam from two years ago? He was the senior soloist in the winter concert, and now he is the assistant basketball-"

"I don't care; is he over 18?" Frederick nodded," Good. Luckily for you, I've found someone over 18 that will be able to help him," She nudged her daughter and smirked," Noire here is going to chaperone."

The father rubbed his chin thoughtfully," Yes, I think that with the combined authority of the two, I should be able to stay for Halloween. After all, this isn't a school sanctioned event, which means that the teacher does not have to be present. Noire, are you sure you're okay with this?"

This was her chance to stand up for herself. Sure, she didn't mind the whole concept of camping with her friends and the younger version of their parents, but she needed to grow a spine in order to-

Her thoughts were cut off by the warning glare Tharja was sending her," I-I'm looking forward to it," Dammit! She was so close to finally taking a stand, and once again, she was shot down by her mother. Lucina rose her eyebrow questioningly at her friend, but Noire only shrugged in response. As much as she was hoping for her relationship to be different with her parents, it looked like some things would always stay the same.

As soon as Sumia discovered that both of her best friends were going on their first dates, she made it her mission to help them have the best possible times they could. That was why she forcibly grabbed the two of them after school and declared that they were going shopping.

While Cordelia was super excited, Robin couldn't be more out of her element. Was she supposed to wear a skirt or a dress? Did she have to wear heels in order to be closer to his height, or was he okay with her wearing her usual sneakers? Where were they going? Should she dress up or dress casually?

Eventually, these questions lead into deeper, more intrusive ones; would Chrom accept her if she wore the wrong thing? What if she embarrassed him in public? Did he wish she was more affectionate? Robin groaned and buried her face in her hands while waiting for Cordelia to exit the changing room, already coming up with several ways she could bomb the date.

"Nervous?"

The white haired girl wearily glanced up at Sumia, who was giving her a comforting smile," How'd you know?"

She giggled," I've been on dates before, Robin. The first boy I actually dated was Stahl in 6th grade since he asked me to the middle school dance. That night went oddly, though, and we agreed to remain friends. It was just too weird to date someone who was my friend."

The drum major felt as if her best friend had unintentionally stabbed her," B-But Chrom is my friend. Does that mean our relationship is destined to fail? Oh gods, it does! What was I thinking?!" She pulled her cellphone out and started to dial," I need to cancel this before I ruin-"

"No!" Without warning, Sumia slapped the phone out of her hands," You and Chrom are different! Your friendship is so strong that it bloomed into something deeper! Don't compare yourself to my sixth grade self!" She softened and placed a hand on her friend's shoulder," You don't actually think you and Chrom are destined to fail, right?"

Robin bit her lip and pulled at the edge of her sleeve,"...N-No, I...I don't know, Sumia. Do I really deserve him? He's a sweet guy that will probably come across a girl that is much better suited for him-"

"Robin..," The clarinetist took her best friend's hand and squeezed it," I know that you're nervous for this, because this is the first step that solidifies your guys' relationship. But take a moment to think about it; You two are inseparable, and even when you fight, it never lasts long. You're always there for each other, no matter what's going on in your own lives. You said you loved each other as well, which is a huge commitment for a high school relationship," Sumia's eyes sparkled," I have no doubt in my mind that you deserve each other, and you should feel silly for questioning it in the first place."

The white haired girl let out a shaky laugh and raked her free hand through her snowy locks," I know you're right. I guess I'm just nervous like you said."

"Hey, if it makes you feel any better, I'm positive that Chrom is just as anxious as you are. Just you wait; Saturday night is going to be one of the most memorable nights of your life!"

"I need your help!"

Lissa, who had been in the middle of confronting Maribelle about her feelings, turned to her older brother and raised her eyebrow," What's your problem, big bro?"

The blue haired boy collapsed on her bed and began nervously drumming his fingers on his knees," I'm going on a date with Robin tomorrow night, but I have no idea what to do! I don't want her to have a bad time, but I also don't want to go over the top! What should I do?!"

"You should do something romantic," His sister stated," Duh."

"Lissa, darling, that will not help your older brother woo Robin," Maribelle tutted," I suggest that since she doesn't seem to be the...classy sort, so you should do something simple, yet nice."

Chrom nodded carefully," Elaborate."

The blonde pursed her lips thoughtfully," There are several paths you can take in order to win her heart. Most romantic cliches involve picnics, but that doesn't seem very fitting for you. I suggest you do something simplistic, like stargazing."

"Ooh, yeah! That's totally romantic!" Lissa agreed.

The blue haired boy felt a heavy weight be taken off of his shoulders," And you two are sure she'd like it?"

"Absolutely!" His sister affirmed.

He bit his lip," I'll keep that in mind, but I don't want it to turn out boring. That, and I'd have to take a crash course in astrology," Chrom joked," What about you, Lissa? Have you been on any dates with...him?"

Lissa rolled her eyes at her judge mental brother," If by "him" you mean Henry, then yes, I've been on three dates with him. He's a huge history nerd, so we like to visit museums."

"Really? He seems like the type that'd take you to a blood bank."

"Hey, I shot that idea down when he suggested it!" Lissa defended," Look, if you want to impress Robin, you're going to have to do something unique. She's not just any girl, so this can't just be any date."

The blue haired boy rubbed his forehead," Ugh, why do girls have to be so cryptic?"

Maribelle narrowed her eyes menacingly," What was that?"

"N-Nothing!" Chrom turned back to his younger sister," What are some "unique" places I can take her?"

"Just bring her someplace she's never been."

"That doesn't help!"

Lissa groaned," Do I need to spell everything out for you? Gods, boys are so stupid," She took a deep breath and talked in her most simplistic voice," You could go to a cafe, a concert, a garden, a cute shop, the beach, a chocolate factory, ect. ect. Pick one."

One of her ideas combined with Maribelle's clicked together, and for the first time since he asked her out, a smile spread across Chrom's face," I think I have an idea. Thanks guys!"

Friday had an odd turn for Libra when he discovered that Panne was given a suspension in her English class for starting a fight. At first, he brushed it off as a rumor, but when she didn't show up for band, he learned just how true the gossip was. That was why he was awkwardly standing at her door, hesitating to knock. Would she be in a bad mood? That wouldn't be too surprising, due to the elements of her suspension. Just as he was about to leave, her door opened, and Panne herself ran straight into him," What-Oh. It's you."

Libra straightened up, deciding to skip pleasantries and cut straight to the point," Panne, I just talked with Chrom after band class. I heard that you were involved in an...altercation with some of the other students."

She visibly darkened at the memory of the encounter," I don't see how that's your concern," The dark haired girl replied coldly.

Panne moved to shut the door, but he stopped it," Isn't it, though?" This seemed to catch her attention, so he continued," The next time you find yourself in a situation like this, please, let me know. You needn't fight for my sake. I can express my own displeasure."

She grimaced,"...You heard, then?"

"Indeed. A little bird told me the cause of your scuffle," He mentally thanked Chrom for giving him the information," Apparently you intervened when someone began telling cruel jokes about me?"

Panne crossed her arms huffily, trying to protect what little pride she had left," Hmph. Perhaps I was just in the mood to hit someone that day."

The boy tilted his head in confusion, baffled at why she wouldn't trust him. After all, he had trusted her ever since she told him the history of her tribe. Had he done something to deter her away? Libra sighed," You always insist on hiding your kindness and denying your compassion. I would dearly love to see you embrace these traits more openly."

"I didn't ask your opinion," Her eyes fell onto the ground after she realized the harsh bluntness of her words," I apologize. It's just that…Speaking with you made me feel better," She began to clench her fists, hardening up to the outwardly cold person he was used to," And hearing those students angered me. That is all. Now we're even."

Libra smiled warmly, catching the brunette off guard," You amaze me, Panne. The light within you shines so brilliantly. Never losing its purity of character or allowing the world to dim its luster... I thank the gods and the exalt for granting me the chance to bask within its glow."

"You're insane...And a terrible flatterer."

"Apologies. Have I embarrassed you?"

He watched as her cheeks started to tint pink," ...Hmph."

Libra only realized at that moment that he had feelings stronger than he was used to for this strange girl. Was it because they shared a horrible experience, or was it because she defended his pride when she didn't have to? The blonde man fiddled with his class ring, ultimately deciding that if had feelings he could act upon, it was going to be now or never," Panne. There is something important that I would like to discuss with you. Might I–

"Speak your business."

"Very well. I would like to ask only that you listen and give me a fair chance," He quietly slipped off his class ring and took her hand in his, pressing the small item into her palm,"...And that you accept this ring."

Much to his surprise (and horror), she didn't say anything at all. She only closed her fist around the object and stared at him intensely, causing his insides to churn. Was she mad? Was he being too forward? Libra gulped," Er, Panne? Thank you for accepting the ring, but, um...Have you nothing to say?"

Panne merely shrugged," You asked me to listen."

The religious boy closed his eyes in frustration and pinched the bridge of his nose," Of all the times to start doing as you're asked..."

"Come again?"

"N-never mind. I retract my prior request for listening. Please, speak your mind. Be frank," He added nervously.

With a straight face, she simply stated," I feel like leaping across a mountain range."

Libra blinked, unsure of how to take her reply," ...Is it safe to assume that means you're happy?"

"That's not it," He felt his heart stop, but luckily, Panne had more to say," Something greater. I suspect this is...bliss."

He nearly collapsed in relief. Honestly, he hadn't expected it to be this hard to confess his feelings," Well, I'm blissful to hear it! And relieved..."

Panne slipped the ring on her finger," What made you think to give me this?"

"...Greed, I fear. I succumbed to my baser inclinations. When presented with your brilliant light, I knew I had to have it all to myself," While his words were poetic, the deliver was a bit jumbled and definitely full of nerves.

The brunette cracked a tiny smile," That's quite the desire, to have driven a man of the cloth to fall from grace. Perhaps I should be the one thanking your gods."

Libra nodded awkwardly," Mostly I feel like thanking you, Panne. So, are you willing to try this? I am fairly new to it as well, so it will be a trial and error experience."

Panne chuckled softly," I suppose it will be an enjoyable experience, nonetheless. I accept."

Since the weekend was finally here, Lucina decided to pay Inigo another late night visit and talk to him about Morgan. He would be elated to discover that her brother was alive, but he would also be just as confused about the whole ordeal as she was. Maybe he could help her figure out what was going on.

The blue haired girl took a deep breath and stepped inside the abandoned building, retracing her footsteps to find Inigo's usual spot. Although the snow had melted as soon as it had touched the ground that week, it was still bitterly cold. She hoped that he was okay and not sick, because if something was wrong with him, there was no way she would leave him to make his condition even worse.

Her eyebrows furrowed when she reached the spot that Inigo always was; his backpack and sleeping bag was still there, but there was no sign of the boy. She immediately jumped to the conclusion that he was dead, but shooed that notion away as quickly as she could. Lucina couldn't risk being emotional at a time like this, and she knew that he could take care of himself.

She had to be calm so that she could find him before someone else did. The last place she saw him was near the beginning of the week, when he and Gerome came from school and he stayed behind. What did that mean for him? She assumed that after finding out he wasn't in their school, they'd let him go.

What if they turned him in to the police? He was too young to go to jail! They wouldn't do that, right? Lucina searched her brain for any rumor of a boy being thrown into jail, but thankfully, nothing came up. A story that unique would definitely make the news, after all, so she wasn't too nervous.

So where did Inigo end up? He wouldn't disappear without telling her because he'd know how much he'd worry her if he did so. Dammit! It seemed that he had just vanished off the face of the planet right after she had found him!

"Luci?"

The bluenette flipped around, horrified to find her younger brother standing behind her," M-Morgan? What are you doing here?!"

The fourteen year old blinked," Uh, I was going to ask you the same thing. It's midnight, Luci. Why are you in an abandoned building full of homeless people?"

"Did you follow me?"

Her little brother seemed to be getting frustrated at how much she was avoiding his questions," Of course I followed you! I was worried when I saw you leave the house alone. Is everything okay?"

Part of her wanted to tell him about it, but an even larger part of her firmly protested against it. She had lost him before, and she didn't want to risk putting him in danger again," I'm fine. I was just looking to see if an old friend of mine was still in town."

Morgan noticed his sister's nerves and patted her arm reassuringly," Don't worry, Luci! I'm sure that you're friend will come back soon!"

As anxious as she was about the entire situation, Morgan's smile was too infectious to brush off," Heh, I guess you're right. We better head home before someone wakes up and finds out that we're gone."

"Yeah, dad would have a heart attack if he realized we left this late at night," The blue haired boy laughed. The two siblings exited the building as quietly as they could and started the trip back to their house. On any other occasion, Lucina would be elated to having quality time with her brother. Yet today, it felt so wrong. How was he alive? Why didn't she have any answers? While she was stuck in her thoughts, Morgan spoke up again," Speaking of dad, did you know at he's going on a date with mom tomorrow?"

His older sister nodded half-heartedly," I did. Dad tried asking me for advice, but I didn't know what to tell him. I've never been on a date myself," She added softly.

Morgan beamed," Hey, we should go on a date!"

"W-What?!" The blue haired girl turned fire hydrant red," That's impossible and inappropriate-"

"No, not like that!" He chuckled," I meant that we should have some brother-sister-bonding time! There so much stuff I want to try out, and I'd love to do it with you!"

Lucina faced her brother and bit her lip," I dunno, Morgan-"

"It'll be fun!"

"But-"

"Come on!"

She held her hands up in defeat," Fine. What do you want to do for our "brother-sister-bonding time"?"

Morgan grinned wider than she thought would've been possible," Yay! You said yes! I know exactly what we can do! You can pick some activities, and I'll pick some, and when tomorrow night rolls around, we can go on a bunch of adventures! The one rule is that we're not allowed to tell each other what we've picked. It'll be a surprise!"

Much like his smile, his enthusiasm was contagious," Okay, it sounds like fun."


Next week's chapter is the Saturday that we've all be waiting for! It's an OliviaxLon'qu auditon day, a Chrobin date night, and a blueberry sibling adventure! I'm not sure how many chapters it'll take up, but at the most, it'll be two. Anywho, let's talk about this chapter! So, I've been thinking a lot about NoirexOwain, and I don't actually think I'm going to go through with it in this story (sorry about the misleading ship moment at the beginning, I thought about what I'm doing with them later in the story and changed it after I wrote that part). The main reason I'm changing things around is because of A) Noire is four years older than him and going to college and stuff, and B) Spoilers I wish I could tell you about. It'll be weird, and it's non-accessible couples that will be there, but I like the way they're going. Tharja has a weird relationship with Noire in comparison to Orie, which I will go deeper into later in the story. Hehe, Robin and Chrom are both so nervous about their dates (I think that I wrote those parts because I had no idea what kind of date they'd go on until I finished writing the entire chapter and went back to add more into Chrom's part). PannexLibra is a thing now, which means that a cute little Yarne is coming in the future (maybe with another future child *wink wink*)! Finally, we've got exposition for Lucina and Morgan, and Inigo has vanished from his home in the abandoned building! Where has he gone? Just kidding, we all know where he and four other kids are. Review time!

Golden-Lightning: I almost put Severa in this chapter, but I didn't want her to show up so soon after her parents got together. It'd be a weird coincidence. That only means that she'll show up really soon, though! Yay, I'm not the only undergrad on this website (not that I would be. It'd honestly be ever weirder if I was...)! The Lon'quxOlivia part will most likely be the most interesting part of the next chapter, because we're going to get some background on Olivia's past! I love reading reviews because I love getting to talk and interact with you readers! It helps me see what I should write next and sometimes, it gives me ideas! Thank you!

Amy47101: Haha, I totally saw Ricken as being the one kid that followed Chrom around like a puppy, begging for him to let him help. I like to think that Plan B was Gaius's idea, and as soon as Stahl shot that down, Gaius just knowingly winked at Vaike. It's a punny world after all (these just keep getting worse and worse). Speaking of puns, Chrom actually made a joke today (Really? He seems like the type that'd take you to a blood bank). Aww, that'd be adorable! Then, as soon as Minerva 1 and Minerva 2 discover each other, they just stare at each other while being incredibly weirded out. It'd be just like when Chrom met Cobalt (lol)! Oh my gosh, I lost it when I read your Gregor rendition of the scene! It made me regret all of my life choices, haha. Yeah, I've heard of that too, but Anna has a man in this story (and future offspring)! On the bright side, I've found someone for Priam! I'm going to have to make up their supports, but I already have a ton of ideas. There is a ton of stuff in this story, so it's not hard to miss stuff. Still, blue haired Laurent would be precious! That's where I got the name! I used to be a huge Fairy Tail fan, and when I was going through my notes of characters in the story, I realized that I gave _ a child! I didn't really give it a second thought until after I posted it and was like: Oh...Yeah, I guess they share a name. Oops.: Thank you for reviewing!

EcoMagic: I'm glad! I agree, it always makes me sad whenever a writer has to stop their story. The beginning turned out to be much funnier than I thought it was, which is good! I have to balance out my depressing parts with light hearted parts. Poor Chrom, his life is so chaotic at the moment. I'd hate to think what would happen if he was alone in all of it. Well, I can tell you that Emmeryn is not coming back to life. I've always found that a little weird, and I feel that it takes away from the impact the story has. Other than that, you'll have to wait and see! Thank you for reviewing!

supersoldiers3: I felt exactly the same! The good thing is that I like all of my classes this year! One of them is a bit stressful right now, but I'll fall into the swing of things eventually. Olivia x Lon'qu is my second favorite pairing in the entire game (aside from Chrobin of course), but they're the oddest to write because they're so dang shy! It'll take them awhile to confess (or will it?). Severa will not be in the next chapter, but she will be in it soon! That's okay! I think the first time I ever posted something on this, the same chapter appeared twice...I hope that this chapter was worth the wait! Thank you for commenting!

Guys, this is chapter 29. There are 10 pages per chapter. If you put that all together, that means that next week will be the 300 PAGE MARK! WOOHOO! YAAAASSS! Along with that, we are also almost at 100 REVIEWS! DOUBLE WOOHOO! DOUBLE YAAASSS! Seriously, you guys have been so supportive, and I can't wait to reach this mark with you guys! I think that the longest thing I've ever written was just over 300 pages (it was a made up story that dragged on really long and was horrible), and with the direction that this story is heading, I'll easily break that record! I'M STOKED! I may or may not write a one shot (if I have freetime, of course) when I break that record. It'd be about my favorite playthrough (that wasn't my RobinxChrom playthough, of course), so it'd start Tanith! Tell me if you guys are interested in that or not. Alright, I think that's all the news I have, so I'll see you guys next week! Thanks for reading!
