"Close the gym today." Blue slurred to PB as she sat in the dining room trying to recover from the hangover. After Mateo left, the night was a blur. She didn't even think Kaos came to the room, but then again, she didn't remember how much she drank either.
"Gotcha." PB smiled as she ate shoveled another spoonful of Count Chocula into her mouth. "You know, Kaos told me that you still haven't answered him."
Blue just glared over at her assistant. "Let's think about this. I've lost Mattie and my son because of him and his daughter, and you think I'd give him an answer." She laughed half heartedly. "Oh yes K! I'm gonna marry you, just so I can be Satan's Bitch once and for all!"
PB laughed. "You already are his bitch."
"Just shut up." Blue rubbed her temples. God, this was going to be a long day.
"Mommy?" Alissandra trotted up to Blue and jumped up on her mother's lap. "Where did Damian and Unca Mattie go?"
"To visit Ele and Tura."
Kaos smiled as he entered the room. "I'm so sorry doll. I didn't know they would get this upset about this."
Blue shook her head. Perhaps Ele and the rest of the world was right about him. Maybe he was fully aware of what his actions would do to the rest of the gym.
"I think you know full well what you're doing to me."
Kaos stopped, taken back by her words. "Excuse me?"
"Honey, leave me alone." She sighed, setting Ali on the ground so she could stand up.
"Blue, what's wrong?"
The blond shook her head. "Everything."


Mateo silently chewed his breakfast, staring at Ele's Angel of War. The bishie had already threatened to kill him twice that morning, yet Mateo still couldn't control that deep seated paranoia.
"Get over it Mattie." Ele smiled as she walked over to the table and sat down. "I can't believe that you and Kitty-"
"Believe it." He glared over at the gym leader. "Let me know what you want me to do around here. I will not be a freeloader, like some bishonen are."
"You can always help in the kitchen." A Quatre smiled as he refilled Mateo's glass. "I've heard that you're a wonderful cook."
"Merci." He smiled as he sipped from the glass of water. "If it would not be a bother, I would gladly accept that job."
Damian laughed as he lit a cigarette. "Thank God. I don't think I could have traveled as a trainer using him as one of my bishies."
"D," Hotura smiled as she pulled the cigarette from Damian's mouth. "This is a non smoking gym."
"And I wouldn't battle for you either, kid." Mateo laughed half heartedly as he stood up from the table, carrying his plates toward the kitchen.
"Good morning!" Kei smiled as she walked in the room. "Kitty called today, and she wanted to see if you were doing all right guys."
"Hn." Mateo set the plates down. "Madame commence à soigner une fois je pars." (Madame would start to care after I leave.)
Ele and Kei just looked at each other.
"Did anyone here understand a word of that?"
Ele giggled. "He's talking about Kitty."
Mateo just rolled his eyes as he walked from the dining area. This might not be as good of an idea as he thought.


Blue walked down the streets of Heighton with her old Kojiro. It was amazing that the bishie had lived so long, since he was her very first bishonen of any type. He was her best, and most used, friend of all her bishonen. He didn't battle any more; the stress would kill him. He used to watch over the chibis, but now that Kaos was around, Kojiro was out of a job.
"Koji, what do you think I should do?" Blue sighed as she flicked her cigarette.
"I think you should stay with the one that will calm you down enough so you stop smoking Miya. You're going to kill yourself with those."
Great. Another lecture. That's just what Blue needed.
"Tell me what you like and dislike about each of them."
"Mattie's stubborn, egotistical, and way too sarcastic."
Kojiro smiled as he ran a hand through his greying hair. "So he's too much like you. Now what do you like about him?"
Blue closed her eyes. "He was the first bishie that I caught for the gym, and we just know each other so much better than any of the other people in the gym. He knows my fears, and he's always been there to comfort me. But he's just so damn stubborn at times!"
"Now what's good and bad about Kaos."
"K is just the opposite of Mattie. He's just so naive, pure, and caring. He doesn't want to hurt me in any way. And the relationship that I'm having with him is perfectly legal with the IBL."
"Miya, we're talking about Kaos here. Ka-os. Think about his name for a minute."
"Names don't mean anything Koji."
"Then why did you change yours so many times? And why did you settle on Blue? I liked Miya so much better."
Blue stopped, grabbing Kojiro's arm, and pulling her friend in to a hug. "I'm not Miya anymore."
"So then you evolved, Miya. And think about it, when you evolved, you changed. You know the same thing happens to us when we evolve. We change. He's not the same Nick you knew honey. He's Kaos now."


"So what are you going to do if she says no?" PB smiled as she stood polishing her boots.
Kaos laughed. "You're hilarious. You know I'd just stay here anyway."
"You know she's going to be pissed if you stay after she says no." PB tossed the rag over her shoulder. "Besides, she's going to kick us both out if she says no, so I don't really want to see that happen."
"What she doesn't know won't hurt her."
PB giggled as she walked out of the tack room, and headed up the stairs to her living quarters, motioning for Kaos to follow. "I guess you're right. She hasn't figured it out yet anyway."


"Davis!" Alissandra screamed at the chibi as he clung tightly to his soccer ball. "I wanna play!"
"It's mine Ali!" Davis whined back. "If you wanna play soccer, Sora and Rika have a girls game going on over there!" He nodded in the direction of the other chibis, which were already kicking the soccer ball around on the field.
"Yeah Ali!" a chibi Tai walked over to the arguing chibis. "Me, Davis, Ken, Matt, Takado, and Henry were gonna play a game anyway, and we've got enough people!"
"I'm telling my Daddy about you!" She whined as she kicked chibi Ken in the shin after he walked over to see what was happening.
"Oh no you're not." The Ken growled as he lept at the girl. Of all the chibis in the gym, she had to kick the next candidate for Kaizer.
"DAADDYY!!!" Alissandra screamed as the purple haired chibi knelt on top of her, continuously using his fists and his small, but powerful for a chibi, fury attack.
"He's not going to save you now." Ken growled, continuing his attack.


"Heighton View Gym, this is PB speaking."
"Hey PB." Damian smiled as he heard the assistant's voice on the other end of the phone. "Is Mom there?"
"No, she went in to town with Kojiro this morning."
"Ok. How's everything going there."
PB smiled. "Much better than expected."
"Did she answer him yet?"
"Nope. No answer."
"Good. Thanks a lot."
"No problem D."
PB smiled as she hung up the telephone next to her bed. Everything was going much better than expected, especially for her. She was secretly hoping Blue would say yes to Kaos's proposal, but she couldn't push her friend in to anything.
"Who was that?" Kaos asked as he emerged from the bathroom- his hair and wings still dripping from the shower that he had just taken.
"Damian. He wanted to know if Blue made up her mind."
"I do feel bad for the poor kid." Kaos chuckled as he spread his wings and flapped them a few times, trying to dry them out. "I still forget about these damn things."
"I don't know how you could." PB sat up in the bed. "They're only sticking out of your back and as long as you are tall."
He shrugged, still trying to dry his wings out. "Well, I'll just let Blue take her time. Besides, it's nice to have Mattie out of the gym."
