"Now what?" Schuldich asked, staring at the map. "Well, find somewhere for us to go. Perferably a place that doesn't have a princess." Brad said. "Everyplace has a princess, Brad. Princesses are a dime a dozen, but there's only one prince. It's kind of romantic, jah?" Schuldich snickered. "I'm going to hurt you someday." Brad growled. "You can't, because you're the Prince. The prince is a pacific, you know." Schuldich grinned. "I am so going to hurt you someday." Brad glared. "Hehe. Ok, how about here?" Schuldich asked, pointing to the map. "... Schuldich, we can't go to a compass rose." Brad said. Schuldich glared at him. "Fine, if you're not going to listen to me anyway, YOU take the stupid map!" Schuldich exclaimed. "You've said that twice now." Brad said bluntly. "Shut the censored up and find somewhere to go." Schuldich grumbled. "Ok... how about... here?" Brad suggested, pointing to "A Place Somewhere Near the Beach."

"Oh.. beach.. with... women.. and bikinis..." Schuldich said, drooling on the map. Brad arched an eyebrow and handed the map to Schuldich, not wanting to be anywhere near it anymore. "Ok then... now that that's settled.. let's go." Brad said, and so our favorite duo (yeah, right) marched onward, ready to encounter any dangers that await them! HUZZAH!

Later...

Brad stared out at the ocean. "Brad.. there's no women here." Schuldich glared. "I never said there would be." Brad replied. "You SUCK." Schuldich mumbled. Brad shrugged. "At least there aren't any princesses." Brad said in relief. Schuldich magically pulled a flute out of his pocket and shoved it in Brad's face. "What the censored?" Brad asked. "All good Princes play flutes when they're at the beach." Schuldich said. "Yet another reason why I am not a prince." Brad glared. Schuldich sighed. "Fine, be that way." He mumbled, walking off. Brad shrugged and followed out of lack of anything better to do.

Soon, they came upon a person, sitting on a rock. "Brad! Lookie! It's a hot girl wearing a sheet! With a crab!" Schuldich exclaimed happily. ".. Schu.. .that's a man..." Brad twitched. "Who cares?! He's hot!" Schuldich exclaimed. Brad twitched some more, as the.. um.. guy... hung off him. "Let. Go. Of. Me." Brad growled. The man... princess... person... (Yohjiel) batted his eyelashes. "Shi-ne." The crab said. "... Did that crab just talk?" Brad asked. "Censored Brad, only HE can hear the animals talking. Princes can't do that." Schuldich said. Brad twitched. "That's it. I'm leaving." Brad said, walking off while dragging Yohjiel with him (he was latched to his leg by this time). "Wait!! You have to take.. him.. her... it... back to your palace and have dinner and then fight the sea-monster-lady played by Manx and stuff!" A yellow and blue fish named Tsukounder exclaimed. "Schu told me I can't hear animals. So I can't hear fish." Brad said over his shoulder, kicking Yohjiel off. "But you're supposed to live happily ever after so we can make a sequel!" Tsukounder exclaimed. Brad started screaming and ran off. "... ... I think he's hot..." Schuldich said in a disappointed manner, and followed Brad unwillingly.

Back in the forest...

"Censored Brad! We could have turned that into a nice long fairytale that would have actually have been ok!" Verie exclaimed angrily. "That was YOHJI KUDOU. Think about that! The Fujimiyas were bad enough but... KUDOU." Brad shuddered. "... I see your point..." Verie sighed. "And I'm not a Prince." Brad growled. "Yeah, yeah, you've covered that. Here, here's a brussel sprout. Now move on..." Verie sighed. "Fine." Brad mumbled, thinking that there had to be somewhere in this deity deleted forsaken world that didn't have a princess.

Since this chapter is um.. short, and I received a question from a wonderful reviewer (yes, review and you too could become a wonderful reviewer! Review today! ~logo that says "Read and Review" pops up on the screen~) ... a.. ha. Anyhow, yes, Shinigami does talk like Chichiri. And the reason for that is because my friend wanted to be in this.. and I let her. And she's Shinigami, and she's a rabid Chichiri fangirl. So she says "No da!" a LOT. And by a lot.. I mean... A LOT. So yes, that would be why Shinigami says "no da." .. Verbal exclamation marks hurt God. Kinda like saying "ka?" after everything. .. That kind of thing is just cool. Anyhow, that's why. Bwee ^_^
