Lances POV
Nam was back. Something I had been having a hard time fully realizing.... Four years.... Four years, she looked the same, the same beautiful girl I had fallen in love with. Yes, love, but I had had my chance and blew it. I let out a sigh and stretched out on my bed staring up at the ceiling dotted with fake stars. I had done her wrong twice.... I was lucky to get a second chance and I blew that too. I wouldn't even try a third time, 'Third times the charm' said a voice in the back of my mind. I grumbled at the voice to shut up for once to my avail. Love... Something I had never understood before... Before her, a few memories of when we were together haunted me. I let out another sigh then heard a knock at the door "Come in" I said looking over at the door to see the figure of my torment standing there "hey" I said quickly sitting up
"Hello" she said a bit timidly, of all the things that woman was timid was NOT on the list
"Something wrong?" I asked sitting up running a hand through my hair in a vain attempt to make it look half decent
"Well" she was hesitant, for a moment I thought it wasn't really her but studied her worn features a moment my eyes coming to rest upon the scar on her cheek. That scar had so much history to it, besides just being her first battle scar. But I won't go into the rest of it "Yeah, I guess you could say that" I gave her a questioning look
"Wanna come in?" I asked standing up, she nodded and entered the room "So what's bugging you?"
She hesitated a moment which told me in the four years I hadn't seen her she had really changed... "Worried about Danny" I gave her a questioning look and she continued "He's never been able to settle down and grow roots... And he's been even more withdrawn then usual..."
"And you think it's because he wants to be a normal kid?" I wondered briefly why she was talking to me about this as to Justin. Those two had always been really close and Danny had always looked up to Justin, and no that isn't meant as a pun. She nodded "Why are you asking me this as to J?"
A small smile crept across her face "So you do still have some perception"
"Is this supposed to be some sort of test?!" I asked feeling a little embarrassed
Her smile widened "Very good. I don't mean to be a bitch about it, but I have to do my job and see how far you guys of slipped"
"Slipped?" I blinked feeling just a tad lost "Care to elaborate on that?"
"Sure why not?" there was the Naomi I knew "PG asked me to see how you Justin and Archer are doing work wise" I cringed knowing we had all let our skills "slip" as she put it, PG, for those of you wondering, is our boss. "I'm personally really surprised at how far you've all slipped, and, the biggest shock of all, you've kept it together the best"
My eyes widened "What?!"
She nodded "It's true, Justin and Archer could still kick your ass but not as easily" she perched herself on my window sill her legs dangling down, now, personally I've always been a leg man and she has some of the finest legs I've ever seen... Eh heh, sorry about me little hormone ranting there... "You still have a thing for legs don't you?" she asked noticing my staring and almost drooling
"Maybe" I said going rather red
"You do, you're practically drooling Lance" she said coolly "And either that's a gun in your pants or..." she let her voice trial off causing me to go a brighter red "Well, I'm heading off, good luck getting back in shape for the tournament"
"Tournament?" I hated never knowing what was going on
"Have you not even been keeping up with what's going on at work?" she asked exasperatedly, I nodded sheepishly and she sighed "It's the world martial arts tournament, I assumed you'd want to compete" She sighed as she saw the look on my face "You all suck!" she proclaimed heading out. I sighed then a thought struck me, why was she looking down there?
DT's POV
I looked out at the water from a lower branch of a tree when suddenly I heard the sound of chopping. 'Now who would be stupid enough to try to cut down a tree with me clearly in it?' I looked down to see TW chopping at the tree, well, that answered my question "TW" I said looking down at him "Why are you cutting down the tree?"
TW looked up at me "Because Kuriboh is stuck n it, stoo" he replied as if I should of known, well, I didn't even know he was in the story so how could I of known his Kuriboh was here? And for those of you wondering, stoo means stupid, he has a speech impediment.
"And how was I supposed to know this hmm? I didn't even know you were in the story!" I proclaimed hopping out of my tree after pulling Kuriboh out and handing him to TW who happily hugged the furry creature
"Well you were takin too long to put me in so I snuck in" he said simply
"How? I thought I had this story guarded!" I sighed and wondered how many more people had snuck in with him "This is supposed to be a mushy romance scene TW. Now, I can't have it with you"
"Why not?! Is TW not sexah enough to be you're LOVA!" His face was going redder then his hair
"That's right" I said simply leaning back "Has to be with Craig or the plot won't work either"
He sighed "Can I at least get a LOVA?" I wondered why he said LOVA in caps and pondered the question
"Hmmm..... Maybe Tea....." I said before hearing a few screams of terror at the mention of her name from the Kuriboh "Or Kuri" I added on
"Hmmm, KURIBOH!!!!" He then dipped the large fur ball back and frenched it passionately. I wondered if that counted for the romance scene and made my escape leaving the two LOVA's alone. Now where to? By the water was my preferably area for a romance scene but since TW and Kuriboh had stolen it I'd have to fine another, but where? The basement? No, the woods? Well, knowing TW those aren't going to be too safe. So where to have the romance scene so I could end this chapter? I heard a loud crash and saw MP hiding in a tree
"MP! Run TW and Kuriboh are making out around here some where!" I warned my friend
Her eyes widened in horror and the two of us made a daring escape to the house where she ran head first into Archer sending them both flying back. I decided to leave the two alone and see what happened. Deciding that seeing as there was a romance scene and one potentially about to happen that I wouldn't witness I could end the chapter.
DT: Well, that didn't work quite how I had planned....
Justin: I liked it, 'cept TW kissing that poor Kuriboh.....
DT: And I didn't even use your character in this chapter! Next one will be more around Aeris Archer and Nam, maybe Damon instead of Archer, and no I don't know where I'm going with any of this! MUWAHAHAHAAAA
Justin: Ra help us all, review and save me
DT: Review, but don't save him
Justin: I'm so unloved :(
