Chapter 2: Oddball

Previously, Glenn and Marcy had discovered a spy snooping around Viper Manor, and took a trip to Home World Arni Village. Have they found the spy?

"Ha, ha! Like, you almost blew yourself, right there. Never mind I, like, said that, you did blow your cover!" Marcy laughed. The girl raised her eyebrow.

"So, what if I did blow my cover. You don't have any proof now do--" she stopped, and looked around at Serge and the others staring at her.

"Tho, you have been thnooping around Viper Manor!" Poshul said. The girl gave up.

"Yeah… so I have. And what're you gonna do about it?" she asked. Glenn scratched his head.

"Uh… nothing much. I guess just say stop it. Heheh… if you keep it up, Karsh is liable to chop your head off… just a warning there… heheh…" Glenn said. Then he redefined the word "spy" in his head. "Wait a second… just what kinds of things do you see when you spy!?"

"Err… Riddel making an idiot out of herself in her room. She is a really bad actress, y'know that? Um, I saw you blow your cover about your little 'bar incident' to Karsh the other day--" she started.

"What?! Y-you saw me tell him about that?!" Glenn shouted. The girl smiled.

"Of course! I'm sure everyone already knows that you're a 20-year-old drinking at a bar! It's okay, though. I'm only 18, and I've done it a few times myself…" she said. Marcy started laughing.

"You'd better pray Cecilia doesn't know that! That barkeeper will make sure that she doesn't see you there again!" Marcy laughed. (Cecilia is the barkeeper in Termina. Didn't know her name, so that's the name I gave her). Glenn began to grit his teeth.

"Never mind that. What is your name?" he asked.

"My name is A-chan, however I prefer to be called by my nickname April. I'm also called 'Chan in some cases, but I'd rather you stick to April, mmmkay?" she asked.

"Ho-ho-ho, I dun think so. Where you are going, you will be known as #107765, got it?" Glenn said, dragging her by her arm out of Lizard Rock.

"H-hey, now! You aren't gonna take me in, are ya?!" April asked. Glenn smirked. "What would you do if I said… um… you're cute?" she said in a small voice. Glenn's face went red.

"Heheh… oh fine. What would you think of me if I took you in? You'd probably think I was a dirty, stupid, idiot dragoon, so fine. You're off the hook," Glenn said. Just then, a strange, yellow marshmallow thing of some sort came diving from the sky and whammed into the side of Serge's head, knocking him out.

"Whoa…" he said as he went down.

"Serge!" Leena cried. She went over to him. She picked up the "yellow marshmallow". It was rather large to be called a marshmallow, though. Then, it sprouted two feet, pink leaves on top of its head and a pink leaf for it's tail and two brown eyes appeared.

"What the hell-- I mean heck is that!?" Una shouted, quickly covering up her swear, which she knew Leena would scold her for.

"Una! Watch your language, please!" Leena said. Una rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Hey! It looks like a puffy yellow marshmallow! Hee! Look, it does! A garden marshmallow colored for a kindergarten girl!" Erica said, patting the creature.

"My name is Otch," it said.
