HOLIDAY SPECIAL
VALENTINES
all right everybody, since today is Valentine's day, I have a special treat for you. This Chapter does not really flow with the rest of the story. It probably won't make any sense, but it should be cute and entertaining. And guys, I'll try to put a fight scene in, here and there, but be warned, it will be . Giggles!

P.S. I finally got around to asking a guy to Sades and guess what! He said yes. ^_^ hehe!

Valentines Day!
This is one very long long long day. But I will record it all, Holidays are special, you know. When I woke up this morning, I saw the door suddenly slam shut and a scattering of feet running down the stairs. It made me laugh. Someone must have been watching me sleep and then fled when I opened my eyes.
Then I looked on my table. It was covered with red hearts and candy and flowers. There was very very much of it, it made me smile. I looked at all the little valentines. There were more than I could count and they read: From Muto, From Sebastian, From Cecile, From Juan, From: Martha, From: Watari, From: etc. I got one from every single one of my tenants.
However, Cecile gave me five, and both of the flower sets were from her. I blushed and set them by the window.
My stomach began to growl, so hungrily I left my room and clumsily tripped down the stairs. I didn't hurt myself, no, but a Zexen woman, I believe her name is Sanya, was there to greet me. I stood up, yawning and rubbing my head and suddenly she leapt at me! I was taken quite aback and tried to run away, but she was too fast! She had me in her arms squeezing me tightly. I feel, Diary, if I'd endured it any longer, I'd have died!
Thomas! Good morning! She cried.
Not Good morning,
What?! What's wrong, Thomas, don't you appreciate being loved? She said, suddenly very angry.
Of course I do, but you've never even spoken to me before, I command you to release me!
Oh what's wrong, Thommy, You know you love me, You waaaaaant me!
No! No I don't! and finally I tore from her grip and ran outside as quickly as I could.
(And now for something Thomas didn't write, and something he doesn't know: After Thomas ran screaming out of the castle, Cecile came laughing around the corner giving Sanya a high-five. Both of them were laughing hysterically. Did you see the look on his face?! HAHAHAHA Sanya was laughing so hard that tears were streaming out of her eyes. Cecile said, Yeah! Bahaha! Man, that was a good one! Thanks Sanya, your a great Actress! I couldn't have done it myself. Hey! Lets go trick him again! I'll never forget that face! AHAHAHAHAH Cecile went out of the room laughing, almost cackling, feeling very pleased with herself that she had played such a nasty little trick on her loved one. Poor Thomas! What will she do to him next?)
Please resume:
I was still very hungry, diary, so I made my way to our inn, and asked Sebastian if there was any room left. Why yes master Thomas, but it is reserved for the Lady Cecile. Shall I replace her spot with you?
Oh no no, don't do that. I will eat elsewhere.
Very well then,
No no! Cried Muto, leaping out of his seat, and running to Thomas, nearly knocking him over, No, Master! Sit in my seat, please!
I smiled at Muto and he wagged his tail and left. So I went to Muto's seat. There was a duck and a Lizard sitting on either side of the spot and as soon as I walked in, they immediately began brushing the seat off. Muto sheds, very very much. said the duck and the Lizard laughed.
So ravenous was I, that I began to dig into the food, quite unpolitely, but the duck and the lizard were laughing and quite enjoying it, for they abandoned the etiquette of their own people and began to eat rudely as well. As were most of the guests when I saw them. It was then that I noticed that the only empty seat was right across from me, and the door opened. I righted myself and sat tall and dignified and put little on my plate. Ladies despise sloppiness.
Cecile sat happily on the chair and looked surpised to see me there. Hello, Master Thomas! She chirped. I looked upon her hair, it was braided in circles about her ears and it looked quite beautiful. She placed her helmet upon the table. My, I'm hungry! She said, eyeing the food and almost forgetting me. And suddenly, her fork flew to her plate and then to her mouth and she ate just as quickly as I had. When she was finished she leaned back and sighed and after five minutes, she grabbed her helmet, leapt up out of the seat and dashed out the door. What an odd girl Cecile is. Sigh......
But I had been done for quite sometime. So I got up and left the tavern and all the people there to their food, jokes, and idle chat.
As soon as I walked out, Martha beckoned to me. she said waving. Go find Piccolo and ask him what his fortune is! She was laughing so heartily (which such a laugh is a bit uncharacteristic of her) that I obeyed and peeked into Piccolo's tent.
He was sitting there happily, smoking away on his pipe. Hello my boy! he said smiling. Would you like to hear your fortune told?
No Sir, actually, I'm here to ask you what YOUR fortune is.
My fortune? My fortune is that you say? And piccolo stopped in thought for a bit and turned very very red. Martha, you devil - woman you! he cried out and I left the tent only to here more of Martha's cackling and laughing.
Today had turned out quite odd today, and laughing at myself I trumped down the stairs to visit some other tenants. I saw Mio and Mike playing a card game, they were sitting in the grass actually flinging bits of flowers at each other. Then Mike took Mio's hand and she looked very surprised indeed and flushed very red.
Mike asked producing a small red box, Mio, will you m....
Will I? Mio was looking very very pleased.
Will you give me another back rub! Mike said thinking he was very funny.
Mio cried. You big jerk! and she threw another flower at him in indignation and laughing, they tussled in the grass.
I walked away from them, laughing at what I'd over heard. How clever Mike is. I tried not to think of Cecile.
Then I saw Watari ride by on a horse chasing after our rancher. Hmmmmm. And a Karayan man speaking softly to a Zexen woman. I saw Toppo crying, apparently he likes Nei but she does not return the love. I felt as If I was going crazy so I turned the corner and ran into a tree, and the tree through an apple at me. And Someone was laughing and I felt a bit angry so I chased after whoever it was that was laughing.
And then I ran into a very large man with a sword. Are you pickin' a fight here in these parts? He asked me.
I said but it was too late.
said the large man and a sword fight was at hand.
I'd rather not describe it for I lost miserably and I got back up off the ground and continued my search, more out of boredom than anything.
(Cecile laughed again. The Big man was yet another practical joke of hers. Thank you sir, You gave Thomas an awful fright! She cried laughing and the big man laughed as well and left the brush. Then Cecile ran off again.)
Finally I heard no more footsteps, just very heavy breathing. Another apple came flying at me, but I dodged and dove into the bush from whence it came. I cought someone and we tumbled down a hill. At the bottom of the hill, I opened my eyes and saw who I'd ensnared in my arms.....Cecile!!!
Cecile was giggling like hyena and she hugged my stomach (for I was so much higher up on the hill) and she said, I'm sorry, Thomas, I've been playing practical jokes on you all the day long.
I looked at her and could not be angry. I hugged her back and said, That's ok, ..... I suppose. But uh...... I think she was going to kiss me but she didn't.
She stood up and ran back up the hill. I sat there forlornly watching her go.
By then the sun had began to sink behind the mountains so I trudged back to my quarters.
Cecile was at the foot of the steps saying goodnight to me, I smiled and then I went to my room. I'm going to sleep very hard, today was very odd.
