So there I was, on yet another djinn quest, when I get to this one that has faulty instructions. (Yes, I cheat and get the djinn locations off of the Internet. I'm sure you've done it once or twice, too. If you haven't, there's this wonderful web site, Isaac's Revenge, which you should know about.)
Garet: Are you getting to the point?
Any day now. So, the instructions for finding Sour are a bit annoying and I had to stop or I'd drive myself insane. Thus, here I am, working on my fic like a good little girl.
Garet: Right…
So, now back to the--
*suddenly The Rain Child runs up, a mangled floppy disk in her hand* Wait! Stop! Slow down!
Oh, hi, Rain Child! Thanks for reviewing my story!
The Rain Child: You're welcome. Garet! You owe me a new floppy disk!
Garet: Eep!
Wha? You mean he really did eat your floppy disk?
The Rain Child: Yep! He is so dead!
Don't hurt my snuggly wuggly!

"Don't worry about a thing," Orchid smiled. "I'll take care of Naomi and you'll have your flowers by tomorrow."
Garet sighed. "Thanks, Orchid. I really appreciate it. I'll be at Isaac's house if you need me."
Orchid shook her head. "Don't go there. Go straight home."
"Why?" Garet asked.
"Isaac's house is too close to Felix's," Orchid stated.
"Is that supposed to make sense?"
"Just do it!" Orchid shouted.
Garet lifted an eyebrow, but left anyway. As he walked up some stairs to his house, he shook his head, muttering about Orchid being insane.
"Bwa ha ha!" Orchid laughed as she walked down the road to Naomi's house. "Bwa ha ha ha!!!"
Naomi poked her head out of her window. "Hey, Orchid, do ya wanna come in? Akiko posted a new fan fic!"
***
Garet: Why are you putting Akiko and ff.net in your fan fic?
Don't ask. I love Akiko's fics! La la la la…Akiko and Elena rock! So does Midnight C! You guys are awesome!
Garet: Why are you shamelessly advertising some of your favorite authors?
Why do you ask so many questions? I just felt like it!

"Awesome!" Orchid cried happily, momentarily forgetting why she had come to Naomi's in the first place. "Really?! What is it about?"
"You'll love it!" Naomi smiled. "It's a Picard fic."
"Oh," Orchid sighed dreamily. "I love Picard!"
"Do you?" everyone's favorite Lemurian asked as he rounded the corner.
"PICARD!!!" Orchid tackled the poor blue haired guy and waved her staff around happily. "Picard, you're back, you're back, you'rebackyou'rebackyou'rebackyou'reBACK!!!"
Picard nodded. "That's nice. Can you get off of me?"
Orchid laughed. "Sure!" She jumped up as quickly as possible, accidentally hitting Picard with the heart end of her staff in doing so.
Picard stood up slowly, his vision blurry. The first thing he saw was Naomi laughing her head off at Orchid's antics. "Oh, Naomi! I never noticed how beautiful you are before!"
Naomi blinked. "Wha? What are you talking about, Picard?"
"Oh no!" Orchid cried. "I hit him with Aphrodite and now he's in love with you, Naomi!"
Picard took Naomi's hand and kissed it. "You must forgive me for being gone so long. If I could've, I would have come back sooner to see your radiance."
"Eww!" Naomi snapped her hand back. "Gross! I could stand it if Garet was doing it, but you…ugh! Orchid, how long is this going to last?"
Orchid furrowed her brow. "Usually it would wear off in a few hours if I'd just cast a spell…but I hit him with it pretty hard. He might be like this for five or six days."
Naomi's eyes grew wide. "But that means it might be like this on my birthday! I can't have Garet see him like this then! He might think I don't love him anymore!"
"Well…we could go see Felix," Orchid suggested. "He's a pretty smart kid and he might know what to do."
"I'll try anything!" Naomi shouted, trying to get Picard off of her arm. "He's too clingy!"
"He is not!" Orchid shouted indignantly. "He's cute!"
Naomi rolled her eyes. "No, Garet is cute. Picard is a bizarro-Garet, therefore he can't be cute."
"Not the bizarro thing again!" Orchid cried.
"Garet has reddish-brown hair, Picard has blue. Garet has brown eyes, Picard has gold. Garet is the Mayor's grandson, Picard is an escaped criminal. They are like, exact opposites!" Naomi exclaimed.
"Not the time, Naomi," Orchid sighed, grabbing her friend's arm and dragging her in the direction of Felix's house.
"Wait for me!" Picard shouted after them.

Garet: Good job. That made absolutely no sense.
Thank you, you're a wonderful muse.
Garet: The whole kiss the hand thing was gross. Just sick and wrong.
You're just jealous because you wanted to kiss my hand, but Picard beat you too it.
Garet: You wish.
Right, so review and read Alex (pen name of Akiko and Elena), The Rain Child, and Midnight C fics! They rock the world!
The Rain Child: I'm included!
Of course! You review! I love people who review almost as much as Garet!
Garet: Do you have any other shameless advertisements that you want to make before this is over?
Oh, yeah! Thanks for reminding me! Visit my web site!
Garet: Good job.
