March of Queen Delia
(It's decided that A Pokemon Fairy Tale will be continued, but
under a different name. The story is now divided into 2 parts. The
first part is how Ash and Misty fall in love with each other- "A
Pokemon Fairy Tale." The second part, "March of Queen Delia" is
all about the queen's reaction towards Ash and Misty's love. Hope
you enjoy this story! Well and do write some ideas about what the
next chapter should be in the review! Sorry that this took SO long!
I can't believe that grade 8 is that much harder than grade 7…
Anyway, I did receive letters hurrying me up, like "can't you write
faster!!!" I actually don't mind any of those. I just write in the
speed of supply and demand. If you want me to write faster, do e-
mail me or tell me that in the review. If you want me to write
faster, then I'll write faster…)
Ch.3
"Forget me," said Misty, "Just return to the palace and
pretend that we've never met before,"
"Misty, are you out of your mind? You know what you're
talking about?" said Erika, almost in a tone of scolding. After all
these work and she's giving up? Misty was determined, clearly
knowing what she was doing. Ash knew that she was serious too,
but he didn't know how to face it. Misty's sisters just do their usual
chores, listening to the conversation, and didn't want to participate
in the debate. Ash was in a shock that would never heal. He looked
at Misty, who was staring at nowhere, giving him no clues on what
to do.
Ash and Misty were out at the beach again. There were no
more guards searching for them anymore due to the storm last
night. Misty was facing the ocean, feeling the salty air on her face,
and looking out at the peaceful sea. In the far side stood the palace,
where it all begins. She regretted of ever entering that place, what
is used to be full of hopes and dreams. She would never know Ash
or Princess Erika or anyone from the palace, and would just
continue their poor but peaceful life.
Ash was quickly trying to think of something to say. This
long and what seemed like never-ending silence made them
nervous.
"Just leave…" said Misty, facing the ocean, pointing towards
the end of the beach where the palace is. Another word, telling him
to go back.
"Why? After so many things that we've done, we're giving
up already? That's a little foolish,"
"How long have we known each other? Not very long…"
Ash tried to counter that with something like "we've known
each other for a long time," but after he seriously counted… He
has nothing to say. He can't believe it but she was right… His love
for her was more than time could measure, and how long they met
meant nothing to him. Time is just a stupid number meaning
absolutely nothing.
Back at the Pallet Palace, Queen Delia was waiting
impatiently. Gary and his Alakazam were working overnight trying
to find Prince Ketchum and Princess Erika. Gary could feel the
queen trying to hide her anger. This will be the perfect opportunity
for him to revenge. Prince Ketchum won't be so happy after this
one. If he couldn't beat him in a match fair and square, he would
do anything to win…
It had been an awful long time after Prince Ketchum and
Misty left the slums. Daisy was beginning to be worried for her
little sister. However Princess Erika was calmly sitting on the
chair, enjoying a nice cup of tea, showing no signs of worrying at
all. Lily was out to buy something, but had never returned. Daisy
thought that she used shopping as an excuse to go outside and look
for Misty. They didn't have much money, and certainly didn't have
the cash to go on a shop-a-thon. But there was no need of excuse.
Daddy and Princess Erika won't stop her, and she's sure that
Violet was just as worried. She looked out through a hole in the
broken roof. The sun was just starting to set already, meaning that
it's pass noon. Misty and Ash left way before the sun is close to
noon, and that means they've been out for a long time.
"I'm going to go look for Misty!" Daisy said but then Erika
grabbed on to her hand, not allowing her to go any further.
"What're you doing!" asked Erika, and Daisy didn't
understand it. Of course when someone is lost, it's common sense
to find him or her.
"Don't look for them… they must decide all by themselves
and none of us will bother them!" Erika replied strongly, staring at
Daisy. Daisy sighed, then sat down and continued to wait.
Then there were sounds at the bed. Erika looked at it and
Misty's father finally woke up. Erika was slightly shocked at his
appearance. She had never seen someone as messed up as he was.
He had long hair that was all hung down like vines and tangled,
even more tangled together than her Tangela. His face was white,
but not ordinary white. It's white enough to make Beedrills run off,
crying for help for ever seeing this horrible thing. Erika covered
her mouth to stop herself from throwing up. He stood straight, and
slowly walked towards Erika. The princess turned around away
from Misty's father and looked at something else.
He put one of his feet up on the table, an act that Erika
disgusted but kept quiet. He lazily demanded something by
mumbling some words. Erika grabbed Lily when she walked by,
and asked,
"I thought you say your father is a handsome young man
before, what happened?"
"Oh… After mother dies from an unknown disease, father
blamed it all on Nurse Joy and the doctors for not trying their
hardest to save mother… Then he was driven to gambling and
drinking and lost all the money… He had been like this ever
since," replied Lily. Then Misty's father noticed someone beside
his 3 daughters was in the house.
"Wh… who are you!" He said like a drunken man, shouting
at Erika. Daisy who was by his side told him quickly about what
happened.
"Part of the royalty… Then GET OUTTA THE HOUSE! It's
all you guys fault, keeping all the country's money and spending
them in useless ways… They should give out their money equally
and share with everyone! If they don't keep all those big bucks
then… then "she" won't die! It's you royalty's entire fault!
Especially you princesses and queens!"
Erika couldn't stand it being insulted if she didn't do
anything wrong, and stood up and smashed the table.
"It's not anyone's fault that your wife died! As what Nurse
Joy said, it's an unknown disease. No one could help that! Maybe
you should act like a man again instead of bossing your 4
daughters around like a useless bum in the house!" Then the
argument raged on and on until Daisy calmed her father down and
Lily asked Princess Erika to go outside to have a walk.
Gary smiled evilly as his prized Alakazam finally found the
target…
"We need time to be alone for awhile…" Ash was thinking
about Misty's words. He agreed to her that they needed time to be
alone and think clearly. He sat on the beach, looking out to the sea.
If they were going to stay together, there would be lots of trouble.
Mostly because of his mother not understanding him… If only she
won't be so stubborn! He grabbed a pebble from the sand and
threw it as hard as he can into the water. He soon realized that the
sun was setting. He looked at the beautiful sunset and admired it.
Several Pidgeies (I think that's Pidgey's plural form since words
ending in y usually add ies to it. Or it may be Pidgeys… I don't
know which one is right) flew across the sky was orange, and there
was not a single clouds in the sky. What a beautiful sunset… Ash
wished that his lover would be with him right now. He wondered if
Misty was also looking at the sunset…
"Pika pi!" said Pikachu as he jumped over the short fence and
entered the beach. Ash lightly laughed and hugged Pikachu. He
didn't spend much time with Pikachu after so many things
happened. Pikachu must be worried since he's out so long. He
patted his Pokemon on the head, which Pikachu enjoyed. He then
sighed and looked at the palace.
"I wonder what happened at the palace…" said Ash. Pikachu
heard him, and then ran off by itself…
Joe was soon healed and was up and around again. He now
worked in the kitchen with everyone, including Duplica who
demanded to switch department. She didn't want to work in the
halls by herself without Misty with her. Meowth was now the chef
and everyone else was below him. James sent out his Victreebel
and watered it, but then was once again bitten by his Pokemon. Joe
was used to all these things. Sometimes Jessie would come around,
scold the group a little, and then leave. But things were very happy
now.
"Still I wonder where Misty went," said Duplica as she
washes the dishes.
"Same as Princess Erika, and Prince Ketchum, they were all
gone…" said Gisele. They were all gone on the same night, and
they should be related since Princess Erika was running up and
down the palace from the top, where Prince Ketchum lives and
Misty's room. Some of the Queen's servants said that Princess
Erika also left the dinner table very early that night. One mystery
leads to another.
Gisele stood in the hallway, peeking out to see if Jessie was
coming, as gossiping about the royalties was a big crime here, and
may result in lost of jobs and a fine of money, or seriously, go to
jail. James finally got out of Victreebel's mouth and join the gossip
group in the middle of the kitchen, so was his feline friend.
"Who's that new dude in the castle anyway?" asked Meowth.
He saw that blue shirt guy somewhere, but he forgot where.
"He looks like that trainer who lost to Prince Ketchum at a
Pokemon match. It's a very exciting battle and the Prince's
Pikachu won. I think his name is Gary Oak, grandson of the
famous Pokemon researcher," said James reading from a book.
They chatted for a while, and Meowth noticed that there are not
enough ingredients in the kitchen for enough food. They would
have to go to the storage room and get more food. They headed out
to the storage room. Then they heard someone giving commands.
Everyone hid behind the boxes of food and listen to a guy in blue.
"Okay troops! Prince Ketchum is now in a beach not to far
away from here, I want you to bring him back alive!" Then the
soldiers marched off secretly out of the castle through the storage
room door. Then Queen Delia came in, and talked to the man
quietly. They tried to get closer, but James tripped over a box.
"Who's there!" said the man in blue. They tried to run but
then were stopped by a psychic attack from the man's Alakazam.
"Put them in jail for now, and we'll deal with them later…"
said the queen, as soldiers came and carried them off to the Pallet
underground jail.
A mouse shaped figure peeked at what happened in the
storage room from a door. He slid out skillfully out of the room, so
quietly even the man in blue's Alakazam didn't notice it. It then
ran off to report to his trainer.
Misty was out of the city, about 50 meters away or so from
the south side Pallet city gate. She stood on a small hill and looked
at the sky. It's wonderful. She closed her eyes, listening to the
waves gently crashing against the shore and the wild Pokemon
running to and fro. She tried to forget about her problems, but then
no matter what she does she couldn't forget them. A Furret walked
by, picking up apples under a tree. Misty noticed it and looked at
it. She threw out some food near her and attracted the Furret to go
closer to her. The Furret quickly got to her side and started eating
the nuts. Misty sighed,
"I'm sure you don't have near half as much problem as me.
You just have to eat and sleep, eat and sleep…" Then the Furret
ran off back into the woods, running away from her side.
"Wait! Don't run away!" Misty said. Run away… that
sounds a lot like her. She's running away from her problems.
Maybe she would get away this time, but she'll have to face it
tomorrow. Why not just face it now? But she didn't want to. Why
can't Ash understand? What she's doing now is good for the both
of them. She then started heading back into the city.
Pikachu was swiftly running for Misty's house, sometimes
using agility and quick attack to hasten the speed. He ran through
the slums, hoping that no one is following him. Then he saw a
group of soldiers riding on Ponytas marching towards somewhere
in the slums. Pikachu gasped. What if… what if they were heading
to Pikachu's destination? What if that Alakazam used his psychic
power to find Princess Erika, Miss Misty and his master? Pikachu
then was forced to take a different route to the house.
Erika was helping the Waterflower sisters a little in the
house, helping them doing simple housework. She wasn't use to
doing these works herself. Servants were the ones to do it in her
mind. But it's only helping friends out, and there's nothing much
to do either. Only Daisy was at home. Lily was out to work while
Violet was buying some stuff for dinner tonight. Erika was used to
the house now, with those sewer rats and the environment. Then
there's a knock on the door. Who could it be? Lily, Violet and
Misty should all have a key. Only Ash doesn't, and he should be
with Misty, she thought. Erika looked at Daisy, who's "serving"
her dad right now and was busy. She decided to answer the door
herself.
"Pikachu!" warned Pikachu as he jumped through the hole in
the roof and stopped Erika from opening the door. But it was too
late as the soldiers barged in. Erika and Daisy gasped. How did
they know that Erika is here?
"Princess Erika, why do you come back to the castle with us
now?" said the commander of the group. Pikachu stood by Erika's
side, preparing to attack if the soldiers decided to play rough.
"No way! How did you find me here?" questioned Erika,
hands behind her back, grabbing one of her own Pokeball on the
table. Daisy pretended to be quiet, with Dewgong in hand just in
case something happened.
"Sorry, princess, but in that case we'll take you back by
force!" Then they released their fire Pokemon, just in case if
Princess Erika decided to fight back, fire will have an advantage
against her grass type. Vulpix, Growlithe and Charmeleon were
ready for action, as they slowly approaching Erika. Erika put down
her Pokeball, knowing that her Pokemon don't stand a chance. She
didn't want her Pokemon to get hurt, and decided to give up. But
then Pikachu used a Thundershock and backed off the fire
Pokemon. Daisy used Dewgong and assisted Pikachu.
"A rebellion! So this lady here was part of the rebellion
group that captured the prince and princess!" said the commander,
and ordered the Pokemon to take down the rebellion (Daisy)
member first, and then they'll rescue the princess. Vulpix used a
Confuse Ray, and confused Dewgong. Pikachu used a Quick attack
and tackled down Growlithe who was using a Take Down at Daisy.
Soon Dewgong recollected itself and used an Aurora Beam and
blasted Vulpix. Charmeleon was storing energy then used a
Flamethrower, which greatly damaged the house. The house
caught on fire easily, and there were no ways to run but the door,
which was blocked by the several soldiers. Pikachu then used a
Thunder and fainted all the Pokemon. The soldiers were forced to
retreat.
"We won't forget this, you rebellions! Queen Delia will soon
send hundreds of troops to find you terrorists!" Then they quickly
left the place. Daisy, Erika and Misty's father escaped out of the
house. Lily and Violet were on their way back, and used their
water Pokemon to help them put out the fire.
The fire was soon put out, but the house was burnt to the
ground. They were sad that the house was burnt down, but it's glad
that no one was hurt, and the other buildings nearby didn't caught
on the fire. Erika then worried about Ash and Misty. The castle
probably found them also. Then Erika and Pikachu immediately
ran off to find Ash and Misty.
"Pikapi! Pika!" screamed Pikachu as he ran along the beach
towards his master. Ash was still in the beach, staring at nothing,
only thinking about the same thing over and over and over again.
Ash picked up Pikachu and looked at him. His eyes were worried
and his ears were down, what usually happens when Pikachu is sad
or worried. Then Pikachu start doing this sign language stuff,
moving his limbs trying to tell a story. He tried the best he can to
tell his master to escape, pointing at the stairs. But unfortunately
his master got the wrong message, and had no clue what he's
talking about. Sometimes Pikachu just wished he knew how to talk
human.
"What are you trying to say, Pikachu?" said Ash, scratching
his head in confusion. Pikachu then jumped up and down and ran
around wildly, shouting out some warning of some sort.
"Doduo! Doduo! Doduo!"
A herd of Doduos were marching somewhere. The sound was
still faint, but then it's getting clearer and clearer every time… as if
they were marching towards him.
"Get out of here!" Erika shouted, as the soldiers arrived the
beach. Ash wanted an explanation, but there's no time for it. They
just ran out towards the city gate. But Doduos were much faster,
and the soldiers near the city gate stopped them, surrounded.
"Now, Prince Ketchum and Princess Erika, why do you guys
have to help those terrorists and stand on their side? Come back to
the castle, the queen misses you two," said the soldier-in-charge.
They sent out their Pokemon, meaning that they would take them
back no matter what, even if it contains force.
"Weepinbel, let's go!" Weepinbel stood near Erika,
protecting its master. Pikachu was all charged up, ready to use a
Thunderbolt to begin the battle. But they were outnumbered
greatly, and this would be a tough battle. Then the Raticates and
Doduos charged, and the battle begins.
Misty was approaching the gate now, and saw a Pikachu used
a tackle at a Raticate, which she believed that the Raticate
belonged to the gate guards. She wondered who dared to fight
against soldiers of Pallet, as the Pallet army was one of the
strongest army in the world, with many varieties of types of
Pokemon.
"Weepinbel, acid," Misty heard a familiar voice using a
Weepinbel and fought off a soldier. That Weepinbel was certainly
well train to be able to beat an armed (not guns, but older weapons)
soldier. Then a very familiar face was escaping from a fury attack
of a Doduo. It's a very young and handsome man. Then when she
got closer to the gate, she could see that… it's Ash!
"Starmie, Hyper Beam!" Misty threw out her best Pokemon's
Pokeball. Ash was almost hit by that Doduo, and then rolled to the
side when he heard someone used Hyper Beam. Erika also quickly
takes cover with Weepinbel, and allowed Misty to have a clear
shot at the soldiers and blasted them.
Soon the soldiers were gone, and the Waterflower sisters
with their father came to the gate and met up with them. Their
"hideout" was gone now, and had no place to go.
"Well, you two figured it out yet?" said Erika, staring at Ash
and Misty. Things were too far to stop now. The castle thought that
there are terrorists starting things, capturing the prince and Princess
Erika. Things were too far to stop now.
"There's no turning back now… Misty. Now we can't go
back. Mother will kill us even if we say that we say that nothing is
going on. Let's go," Ash said, slowly grabbing Misty's gentle
hands. Misty blushed, but didn't seem to have signs of reject,
taking it as a "yes".
"So where should we go now? We're homeless now…" said
Misty, after a quick recollection from the lost of words. Princess
Erika then suggested.
"We'll go out of Pallet, and head for my hometown, Celadon
Castle!"
Well that's all for this chapter. I apologize again for such a
late chapter. Hope you'll accept my apology and forgive me! Well
at first Fanfiction.net seems like it's down forever, but it's finally
up and around again. This chapter (IMHO) isn't that bad, stay in
tune for the next chapter (estimated date for next chapter: Sept.19)
(It's decided that A Pokemon Fairy Tale will be continued, but
under a different name. The story is now divided into 2 parts. The
first part is how Ash and Misty fall in love with each other- "A
Pokemon Fairy Tale." The second part, "March of Queen Delia" is
all about the queen's reaction towards Ash and Misty's love. Hope
you enjoy this story! Well and do write some ideas about what the
next chapter should be in the review! Sorry that this took SO long!
I can't believe that grade 8 is that much harder than grade 7…
Anyway, I did receive letters hurrying me up, like "can't you write

speed of supply and demand. If you want me to write faster, do e-

Then there were sounds at the bed. Erika looked at it and

closer to her. The Furret quickly got to her side and started eating
the nuts. Misty sighed,
"I'm sure you don't have near half as much problem as me.
You just have to eat and sleep, eat and sleep…" Then the Furret
ran off back into the woods, running away from her side.
"Wait! Don't run away!" Misty said. Run away… that
sounds a lot like her. She's running away from her problems.
Maybe she would get away this time, but she'll have to face it
tomorrow. Why not just face it now? But she didn't want to. Why
can't Ash understand? What she's doing now is good for the both
of them. She then started heading back into the city.
Pikachu was swiftly running for Misty's house, sometimes
using agility and quick attack to hasten the speed. He ran through
the slums, hoping that no one is following him. Then he saw a
group of soldiers riding on Ponytas marching towards somewhere
in the slums. Pikachu gasped. What if… what if they were heading
to Pikachu's destination? What if that Alakazam used his psychic
power to find Princess Erika, Miss Misty and his master? Pikachu
then was forced to take a different route to the house.
Erika was helping the Waterflower sisters a little in the
house, helping them doing simple housework. She wasn't use to
doing these works herself. Servants were the ones to do it in her
mind. But it's only helping friends out, and there's nothing much
to do either. Only Daisy was at home. Lily was out to work while
Violet was buying some stuff for dinner tonight. Erika was used to
the house now, with those sewer rats and the environment. Then
there's a knock on the door. Who could it be? Lily, Violet and
Misty should all have a key. Only Ash doesn't, and he should be
with Misty, she thought. Erika looked at Daisy, who's "serving"
her dad right now and was busy. She decided to answer the door
herself.
"Pikachu!" warned Pikachu as he jumped through the hole in
the roof and stopped Erika from opening the door. But it was too
late as the soldiers barged in. Erika and Daisy gasped. How did
they know that Erika is here?
"Princess Erika, why do you come back to the castle with us
now?" said the commander of the group. Pikachu stood by Erika's
side, preparing to attack if the soldiers decided to play rough.
"No way! How did you find me here?" questioned Erika,
hands behind her back, grabbing one of her own Pokeball on the
table. Daisy pretended to be quiet, with Dewgong in hand just in
case something happened.
"Sorry, princess, but in that case we'll take you back by
force!" Then they released their fire Pokemon, just in case if
Princess Erika decided to fight back, fire will have an advantage
against her grass type. Vulpix, Growlithe and Charmeleon were
ready for action, as they slowly approaching Erika. Erika put down
her Pokeball, knowing that her Pokemon don't stand a chance. She
didn't want her Pokemon to get hurt, and decided to give up. But
then Pikachu used a Thundershock and backed off the fire
Pokemon. Daisy used Dewgong and assisted Pikachu.
"A rebellion! So this lady here was part of the rebellion
group that captured the prince and princess!" said the commander,
and ordered the Pokemon to take down the rebellion (Daisy)
member first, and then they'll rescue the princess. Vulpix used a
Confuse Ray, and confused Dewgong. Pikachu used a Quick attack
and tackled down Growlithe who was using a Take Down at Daisy.
Soon Dewgong recollected itself and used an Aurora Beam and
blasted Vulpix. Charmeleon was storing energy then used a
Flamethrower, which greatly damaged the house. The house
caught on fire easily, and there were no ways to run but the door,
which was blocked by the several soldiers. Pikachu then used a
Thunder and fainted all the Pokemon. The soldiers were forced to
retreat.
"We won't forget this, you rebellions! Queen Delia will soon
send hundreds of troops to find you terrorists!" Then they quickly
left the place. Daisy, Erika and Misty's father escaped out of the
house. Lily and Violet were on their way back, and used their
water Pokemon to help them put out the fire.
The fire was soon put out, but the house was burnt to the
ground. They were sad that the house was burnt down, but it's glad
that no one was hurt, and the other buildings nearby didn't caught
on the fire. Erika then worried about Ash and Misty. The castle
probably found them also. Then Erika and Pikachu immediately
ran off to find Ash and Misty.
"Pikapi! Pika!" screamed Pikachu as he ran along the beach
towards his master. Ash was still in the beach, staring at nothing,
only thinking about the same thing over and over and over again.
Ash picked up Pikachu and looked at him. His eyes were worried
and his ears were down, what usually happens when Pikachu is sad
or worried. Then Pikachu start doing this sign language stuff,
moving his limbs trying to tell a story. He tried the best he can to
tell his master to escape, pointing at the stairs. But unfortunately
his master got the wrong message, and had no clue what he's
talking about. Sometimes Pikachu just wished he knew how to talk
human.
"What are you trying to say, Pikachu?" said Ash, scratching
his head in confusion. Pikachu then jumped up and down and ran
around wildly, shouting out some warning of some sort.
"Doduo! Doduo! Doduo!"
A herd of Doduos were marching somewhere. The sound was
still faint, but then it's getting clearer and clearer every time… as if
they were marching towards him.
"Get out of here!" Erika shouted, as the soldiers arrived the
beach. Ash wanted an explanation, but there's no time for it. They
just ran out towards the city gate. But Doduos were much faster,
and the soldiers near the city gate stopped them, surrounded.
"Now, Prince Ketchum and Princess Erika, why do you guys
have to help those terrorists and stand on their side? Come back to
the castle, the queen misses you two," said the soldier-in-charge.
They sent out their Pokemon, meaning that they would take them
back no matter what, even if it contains force.
"Weepinbel, let's go!" Weepinbel stood near Erika,
protecting its master. Pikachu was all charged up, ready to use a
Thunderbolt to begin the battle. But they were outnumbered
greatly, and this would be a tough battle. Then the Raticates and
Doduos charged, and the battle begins.
Misty was approaching the gate now, and saw a Pikachu used
a tackle at a Raticate, which she believed that the Raticate
belonged to the gate guards. She wondered who dared to fight
against soldiers of Pallet, as the Pallet army was one of the
strongest army in the world, with many varieties of types of
Pokemon.
"Weepinbel, acid," Misty heard a familiar voice using a
Weepinbel and fought off a soldier. That Weepinbel was certainly
well train to be able to beat an armed (not guns, but older weapons)
soldier. Then a very familiar face was escaping from a fury attack
of a Doduo. It's a very young and handsome man. Then when she
got closer to the gate, she could see that… it's Ash!
"Starmie, Hyper Beam!" Misty threw out her best Pokemon's
Pokeball. Ash was almost hit by that Doduo, and then rolled to the
side when he heard someone used Hyper Beam. Erika also quickly
takes cover with Weepinbel, and allowed Misty to have a clear
shot at the soldiers and blasted them.
Soon the soldiers were gone, and the Waterflower sisters
with their father came to the gate and met up with them. Their
"hideout" was gone now, and had no place to go.
"Well, you two figured it out yet?" said Erika, staring at Ash
and Misty. Things were too far to stop now. The castle thought that
there are terrorists starting things, capturing the prince and Princess
Erika. Things were too far to stop now.
"There's no turning back now… Misty. Now we can't go
back. Mother will kill us even if we say that we say that nothing is
going on. Let's go," Ash said, slowly grabbing Misty's gentle
hands. Misty blushed, but didn't seem to have signs of reject,
taking it as a "yes".
"So where should we go now? We're homeless now…" said
Misty, after a quick recollection from the lost of words. Princess
Erika then suggested.
"We'll go out of Pallet, and head for my hometown, Celadon
Castle!"
Well that's all for this chapter. I apologize again for such a
late chapter. Hope you'll accept my apology and forgive me! Well
at first Fanfiction.net seems like it's down forever, but it's finally
up and around again. This chapter (IMHO) isn't that bad, stay in
tune for the next chapter (estimated date for next chapter: Sept.19)
