Well. A sixth ep. People may find that my writing is deteriorating since the first few eps. I will be trying harder this time.
Please R+R.

Tiger sat under the tree where, in his youth, she had taught the current Fuhrer, Faust the tenth. She was dressed in her usual Garland army uniform. With its long tails and large hat.
This morning, Faust had instructed her to be here two hours after their talk.
(I wonder what he wants to ask me?) She thought, as she sat there. She waited patiently until she saw the Fuhrer walking towards the tree. He was dressed a suit akin to the one his predecessor wore. He strode over to her and stood next to her.
"Tiger... do you know why I asked you here?" he said. She shook her head. He offered his hand down to her. She took it and she got up. "I have dreamed of this day for many years."
"Master?" she replied, not knowing what he meant. "What do you mean?"
He smiled at her.
"This..." he bent down on one knee and pulled a small red box out from his pocket. He opened it to reveal a gold ring laced with diamonds.
"Will you do me the honour of marrying me?"
Tiger was stunned. She looked at Faust. His eyes full of love.
(What do I do in this situation? I love him... but I'm only a Marionette. What do I do?) She looked at her master again.
"I... I..." she started. Faust looked at her.
"What's wrong?" he asked. His voice showing genuine concern. Tiger stared at him.
"I... I..." she stuttered, and then collapsed. Faust quickly caught her.
"TIGER! What's wrong?" he cried out. She didn't answer him. The vents on her arms opened and let off a large amount of steam. They closed and she opened her eyes slightly.
"Master..." she whispered. "I... I, I am confused. I..."
"Don't speak." he whispered. "Lets get you home." he picked her up and held her close to him. Tears began to well up in her eyes. "Your just tired. A nice lie down will make you all better."
They neared the palace. It was only noon, and everyone was milling around aimlessly. As soon as Faust entered the palace a servant came running up to him.
"Fuhrer? Do you require assistance?" he asked.
"No thank you," he said as he walked past the servant. He stopped and turned his head. "On the other hand... could you prepare a hot meal for the both of us?"
"Y, yessir!" he replied. He ran off towards the kitchens to prepare the meal. Tiger was carried upstairs and to her room. The door was open and they entered. Luchs and Panther were not there, most likely Panther was training and Luchs was talking to the HBC Main Computer. (It had its own AI, and the two spent hours discussing different topics.)
Faust laid her on her bed and sat next to her. He held her hand and sighed.
"Are you going to be ok?" she tried to sit up. It pained her, but she managed it.
"Yes Master." she replied weakly. "I am sorry about this..."
"For what? Being exhausted?" he laughed. "Its ok. But you didn't answer my question out there..."
A tear formed in he eye. Her mind old her that she was only a machine and machines can't marry humans... but her body and soul (Maiden Chip) told her that she loved him and wanted to be with him.
"Lord Faust... I, I love you. But my entire being is in conflict." she started to cry. Faust wasn't expecting tears and I took him a moment to respond. He hugged her tightly to him and stroked her hair, in an effort to calm her.
"Hey... what's wrong?" he soothed. "C'mon now, tell Me." he ran his fingers through her red hair as she began.
"My... Mind tells me that as I am a m, machine... we can never be together." she closed her eyes in a futile effort to hold back the mounting tears. "But my heart tells me that it's natural when a man and a woman fall in love. The my mind replies that I, I'm not a woman... just a M, Marionette."
Faust hugged her tighter. He whispered in her ear again.
"And that's what made you collapse... an emotional overload?"
"Yes master."
"I see... and what do your feelings tell you to do now?" she wrapped her arms around him, and hugged him back.
"That I should never let go," she cried into his neck as he kissed her forehead.
"So is that a yes?" he whispered, kissing her ear.
"Yes Master... with all my heart." she continued to cry. "Why am I crying still? I do not understand." Faust smiled at her comment.
"Because your happy." he said. She was confused even more now.
"But If I a, am happy... I should n, not be crying."
Faust held her at arms length and looked her up and down. Even when she was crying, she still looked fantastic.
"Yes, you should cry. It's good to cry occasionally." he pulled her back to him. She expected him to hug her but he kissed her. The kiss was long and passionate. They sat on Tigers bed, kissing for a while, until there was a knock at the door. Faust broke the kiss, annoyed at the interruption.
"Enter." he commanded. The servant who had made the meal entered the room, with one of those two tier trolleys. He bowed, and scurried off about his other tasks. Faust left the bed and walked over to the trolley. "Hmmm, lets see now..." he lifted the lid off of a large tray.
The smell reached his nose, then all the way over to Tiger.
"Smells nice... what is it master?" she sniffed to smell more of the haunting aroma.
"Roast chicken." he retrieved two plates from under the trolley and dished out the food. Roast chicken, roast potatoes, vegetables, stuffing and gravy. "Here you go..." He handed her a plate of food.
"Thank you," she said as she accepted it. They ate in silence, and then Faust spoke up.
"Have you any ideas for the big day?" he asked, finishing off his chicken. "I have some plans... Ohh, in all this fuss, I forgot to give you the ring." He reached into his pocket and pulled out the little red box with the diamond ring in. He slipped it onto her finger. "Now its official."
They finished their meal, Tiger blushing throughout. Faust wheeled the trolley back to the kitchen, but not before giving his bride-to-be a passionate kiss. While he was out of the room, Tiger had a chance to sit back and think.
(This is nice.) She thought as she slipped off the bed and into the en-suite bathroom. (To think... the master all to myself.) She smiled rapturously, and began to run a bath. She poured her favourite bubble bath into the hot water and watched it expand into a large foamy mass. She turned off the hot tap and let the cold run for a minute more. She wondered what her master was doing. She turned off the cold tap, and took off her uniform, letting it fall to the floor around her feet. The air had a nasty chill to it so she leapt into the soapy water.
(This is wonderful... mmmmm.) She moaned slightly, (Not like that!), as the water caressed her skin. She closed her eyes and thought about her wedding day.
* A cool autumn evening ceremony, a brilliant sunset view lighting the sky. A large marquee in the flower garden, with floral displays on every one of the highly decorated tables. Organ music filling the large tent as she was led down the isle to a smiling Faust, with Panther and Luchs as her bridesmaids. After the ceremony, they would go out into the garden, and everyone would toast the new royal couple. And the last thing she thought, was of them kissing. *
("BANG! BANG! BANG!") Came a knock at her door.
"TIGER?! Are you all right? Answer me! I'm coming in." came the worried voice of Faust. Tiger woke up with a yelp as the lock on the door bust and Faust falling into the room. He looked towards the bat tub. His face turned as red as a ripe tomato. He turned away and managed to stammer out a vaguely coherent sentence.
"Ummm, I... Urrrrmmm, I'm s, sorry." he muddled. "When you didn't a, answer... I, I was worried."
She also went red. She hopped out of the bath, and onto the cold floor. She grabbed a pink towel from the radiator and wrapped it around her.
(He was worried about me.) She dreamed happily. (I didn't realise I was asleep...)
"You can turn around now," she said bashfully. He did so and was confronted with the most wondrous sight ever. (Even better than when he had seen all three Saberdolls in their nightclothes.) Tiger stood there with her pink towel wrapped around her. Water glistening on her exposed flesh. She was blushing almost as much as he was.
"I'll be w, waiting out t, there..." he stuttered as he went into the bedroom. Tiger couldn't suppress the embarrassed smile she wore on her face. She towel dried her entire body, and put her uniform back on. (She had only put it on this morning, so it wasn't dirty/smelly.) She walked out into the bedroom, and walked over to her master, who was looking out of the large window overlooking the flower garden. He heard her coming and turned around.
"I'm sorry for the intrusion..." he started.
"No, Its my fault master." she smiled nervously. "I really shouldn't fall asleep in the bath..." she moved closer to him and hugged him around the waist. He did the same and kissed her forehead.
"I had an idea about the wedding." he smiled. She looked up into his eyes and he looked back. "How about this weekend?"
"That soon?" she was shocked that it was going to be that soon. But she wanted him so badly. "So... I'd better get a dress ready then?" she leaned up and kissed him on the lips. Their tongues met and duelled for a while. The rest of the day was spent on affairs of state, while when the sun set, Faust and Tiger sat in Faust's study discussing wedding plans.
The morning soon came, and Tiger awoke in the study, on a leather sofa, entwined around her sleeping master.
(I can't wait... he's mine.) She rolled the idea around in her head again. (I love you... Master.)
