Mini Isaac and Mini Mia are sobbing in the corner.

Lord Cynic: (Groans) "What now?"

Mini Garet: "It's the last chapter for their larger selves to confess their love for each other."

Lord Cynic: "Hmm... maybe I shouldn't get their hopes up..."

Mini Jenna: "What would've been a good idea... but then Mercury Matchmaker would be messed up."

Lord Cynic: "Oh yeah... noodle crackers!"

Minis: (sweatdrops)


Mini Sheba: "Lord Cynic doesn't own Golden Sun. Oh, that goes for Because of You by 98 Degrees, too. He owns a silver plate, though..."

Lord Cynic: "No I don't."

Mini Sheba: "Oh, well, whatever."

Cynic: (glowers)


Final Chapter 12: "Night Five" a.k.a. "Judgement Night"

The next day, Isaac didn't come out of his bedroom much at all. After last night's humiliation, he couldn't build up the courage to leave the safety of his room.

"He's being a wuss," Ivan said, as everyone sat in the TV room (well, Ivan, Felix, Jenna and Mia, anyway; Piers was still on Jupiter, and Garet and Sheba were in the pub).

"Not true," Mia whined, and eyebrows were raised. "While you people left earlier this afternoon, Isaac snuck out of his room into the kitchen."

"I knew he couldn't go all day without food," Jenna muttered, as Felix channel surfed out of boredom.

"Oh, no," Mia corrected her. "He was calling a repairman to remove Piers' boat off the room of this house."

"Where is our sea-worthy friend, anyway?" Felix asked, having finally discarded the remote to a nearby chair. He sweatdropped when Jenna gave him a death glare.

"He's on a different type of journey," she said bluntly.


Piers paced endlessly across the surface of Jupiter, pondering a way to get off the unfortunate planet (oh... uh... sorry...). Suddenly, he got an idea.

"Why didn't I think of this before... Taxi!"

Out of nowhere, a big yellow taxi (A.N.: "ERR... sorry!") zoomed in front of him. A wild ape sat in the driver's seat, looking disgruntled.

"Hurry up and get in," it growled. "I have a poker game with Donkey and Diddy Kong to get to after my shift."

Piers sweatdropped, but uttered, "Vale," and got in the car. The primate taxi driver slammed the accelerator, and the taxi sped off the face of the planet.


"So, who's the repair guy?" Felix asked, breaking the awkward silence.

"Some guy called Jason Powern," Mia said, trying to remember. "I was hiding in here when Isaac made the call, so that's all I heard."

"Fair enough," Ivan and Felix murmured, then Ivan asked, "So, after that, Isaac shut himself back in his room?"

"Well, no," Mia corrected again, but her cheeks had a noticeable pink tinge. "He made an enormous subway sandwich first, then shut himself in his room."

"Told ya!" Jenna declared suddenly, bowling everyone over and folding his arms in triumph. Mia, Felix and Ivan lay crumpled on the floor, wearing exasperated faces.


"You missed a spot."

Garet growled as he mopped the floor while Sheba barked orders at him. People drinking at the pub watched in amusement as the short blonde girl ordered the tall guy with taller red hair around like a butler.

Why did I come of all places, Garet thought bitterly.

"Because you're flat broke," Sheba said, quite literally reading his thoughts.

Darn her mind reading abilities.

"I heard that," Sheba said, shooting a bolt at Garet's behind. Drinkers watching laughed rudely as Garet hopped on the spot, rubbing his burnt backside. "Oh, that's right. I read that, not heard it," Sheba said, smirking broadly.


"Oh Mia, I love you so, but I can never tell you how I feel."

Inside his shrine, Isaac kneeled in front of his enlarged picture of Mia, clutching his lock of his angel's long blue hair. Candles lit around the room flickered, and the blonde mop on Isaac's head was styled with 'borrowed' hair gel. (A.N.: "Well, honestly, you didn't think he actually returned it, did you?") He was dressed in a tuxedo, and in respects looked like a blonde penguin.

"I just don't know how to express my love," Isaac said, but his eyes were getting droopy. "Don't know... tell... Mia... I love... her..."

Soon, he drifted to sleep. However, as he lay on the shrine floor, the ring on his wrist glowed malevolently.


"Nearing Vale," the ape driver grunted, as the Great Healer's shrine came into view.

"Nearly there," Piers said, sitting back in his seat as a familiar wind blew.

The taxi was passing over a tree when the wind became dangerous. It blew the taxi around wildly, and Piers groaned.

"Not again," he moaned, but the winds of Jupiter were not on his side. Instead, it tossed the vehicle around like a child with a toy. Soon, the taxi was blown backwards and wedged onto the roof of the Great Healer's shrine.

"What the -" The Great Healer walked out to find a distraught Lemurian, a swearing ape and a smoking taxi on his roof. "Oy! What're you doin' on me roof!"

"The wind caught us," Piers explained tiredly.

"Bugger," the Great Healer swore. Someone shouted, "Howzaaaaaaaaat!" inside, and the Great Healer swore again and stomped inside.

"Oh damn, the poker game!" the ape growled, and it teleported out of sight, leaving Piers stranded.

"Somebody get me off here!"


"Did I hear something?"

Mia looked around in a panic, making everyone raise eyebrows.

"Did... did I hear something?" she repeated.

"Okay," Ivan said slowly, "first of all, no you're not. Second, we're starting to think you're getting paranoid. Finally, we're also starting to think you're wanting an excuse to check up on Isaac."

Mia's face went from confusion to a frown then to a bright red.

"Seriously though," Jenna said, as Mia turned away to hide her flushing face, "we are starting to think you're becoming jumpy."

"What do you mean?" Mia asked with typical innocence.

"We all know you like Isaac," Felix said, making Mia go red again. "Well, everyone except him, of course."

"I... I don't know what you're talking about," Mia said breathlessly.

"Oh, hey there, Isaac!" Ivan said suddenly. "We were just talking about you."

"Eep!" Mia dived desperately behind her chair. Felix and Jenna sniggered quietly as Ivan continued.

"Y'know, Mia was just dying to tell you something. Right, Mia?"

She was just dying all right. She crouched further behind her chair, dreading the idea of admitting to Isaac this way.

Not this way, she thought to herself. Isaac would never believe me. He would never think that someone like me could love him.

Ah, said a voice inside her head, but you'll dread not telling him at all, won't you?

You're right, Mia thought. I've got to face my fears.

To everyone's surprise, she stood up and spun around. Eyes closed, she spilled her guts.

"I love you, Isaac. Ever since we met in Imil, I've felt something about you that I've never felt about anyone else. Your leadership skills, your courage, your gentleness, all of those and even more make me feel this way. I don't care if you don't feel the same way, but I couldn't live without telling you this."

She started to run to him, but she tripped over her chair and fell onto her back on the floor.

... Ooh, bad fall, the voice inside Mia's head called Fizz said, and she disappeared from sight.

When Mia opened her eyes, she didn't see Isaac. Instead, she saw Ivan, Jenna and Felix almost wetting themselves laughing. After she understood what was going on, she became angry. No, that's an understatement. She became enraged. Flames surrounded her body, and the other three jumped back in alarm.

"How dare you!" she shrieked. "How dare you play with my feelings for Isaac!"

"N... No need to be angry about it," Ivan stammered nervously. "We... were just having a little fun."

Felix and Jenna looked at him in horror as Mia's eyes bulged.

"A LITTLE FUN?" she screamed, and lightning crackled outside.


Piers looked up from his position on the Great Healer's shrine.

"Looks like a storm's a-brewin'," he said casually. "I just hope I don't become a victim..."

He regretted saying that when a lightning bolt shot at him, sending him flying.

"Wahahahahahahahahaaaaa!"

Ding

"BUGGER! The cable's out!" roared the Great Healer from inside.


"What do you mean, a little fun?"

Lightning struck again as Mia approached the now trembling trio. Her eyes, usually a calm blue, glowed a vicious bright green and her blue hair stood on end. Despite their fear, the trio saw an uncanny resemblance to Evil Isaac, but that made their fear intensify.

"We... we didn't mean it like that," Jenna said awkwardly. "It's just that -"

"It's just what?" Mia spat.

Jenna started to talk again, but Felix stepped forward.

"Are you angry at us, or angry at yourself?" he asked.

"Felix..." Jenna moaned.

"We don't make fun of you because of your crush on Isaac," he continued, ignoring Jenna. "In case you don't notice, you're petrified of admitting your feelings to him. Because of how he'll react."

"What are you getting at?" Mia asked, but her voice cracked and she started to turn back to normal.

"But you are, aren't you?" Felix pressed on. "You're afraid of what Isaac will do if he rejects you. If he doesn't return your feelings for him."

"But... but..." Mia spluttered, but she quickly regained her composure. "You three don't know what it's like to be in love! You don't understand!"

"Yes I do," Jenna said quietly, and everyone spun around to look at her.


"Psst! Granite, Flint, wake up!"

The Venus Djinn known as Granite woke up to find a blue beauty prodding him awake.

"Ohhh," he groaned sleepily. "Please tell me this isn't some wonderful dream... oww!" he yelped, as his blue beauty accidentally poked him too hard.

"If this was a dream, I'd still be asleep," Flint grunted, getting up. Tonic and Fizz stood before the two brown Djinni. They looked like they meant business.

"What can we do for you ladies?" Flint said, unusually pleasant. Fizz looked at him strangely.

"We have a favour to ask of you," she said. "Right, Tonic?... Tonic?" Fizz looked around, confused.

"Heh, Fizz looks like she's lost a child," Flint said, smirking. "Y'reckon, Granite?... Granite? Hey, Granite!" Now it was Flint's turn to be confused. "Hey, where'd they go?"


"When the moon hits your eye, like a big pizza pie, that's amoré..."

From inside Isaac's wardrobe, Granite sang to his Djinn love, Tonic. Tonic herself had love hearts for eyes as Granite sang to her with an unusual tenor voice.

"When the world seems to shine, like you've had too much wine, that's amoré..." Granite stopped mid-song, hesitant. "Um... I've forgotten the rest."

He rubbed the back of his head embarrassingly as Tonic giggled.

"I've got some Italian for you," she whispered gently, bringing Granite closer. "It's a nice-a place, ah shut up-a you face."

(A.N.: "Sorry about that... I watched a car commercial too many times.")

"Oh, so -" Granite started to apologise, but he became caught in Tonic's passionate kiss.

"Awwww, how sweet," voices taunted.

Granite and Tonic froze in mid-pash and looked up. The other 16 of Isaac and Mia's Djinni were gathered in the doorway of the wardrobe, and every one of them wore identical sinister smirks.

"Mmf..." Granite mumbled, then removed his lips from Tonic's. (A.N.:"... Bear with me and pretend they're humans." "Erm... hey, guys."

"Hi, girls," Tonic squeaked. Flint and Fizz stepped forward from the pack, same devious grins on their faces.

"We had a feeling you two would hit it off," Fizz said, making Granite and Tonic go whatever colour Djinni do when they're embarrassed. "However, we have business to take care of."

"Um... that's right," Tonic said sheepishly. Fizz cleared her throat, but Bane, Sap, Sleet and Hail continued to smirk at the increasingly embarrassed lovey-dovey Djinni.

"Now," Fizz began. "Granite's singing exhibition (Granite opened his mouth in horror) has given me a good idea for hooking our two human lovebirds up. Gather around, everyone..."


"Isaac, Garet and I have been close friends for a long time, way before the Golden Sun. Before the storm, where Isaac's dad and our (referring to Jenna and Felix) parents were lost, the guys and I used to have so much fun. That is, before the storm came..."

Jenna had started her story, and everyone present was crowded around her. Mia and Ivan had intrigued looks on their faces, but Felix wore a look of loathing, wondering whom it was Jenna was attracted to, and wondering if he could legally kill him, whoever he was. However, for now he kept his anger to himself.

"After the storm, where I thought I'd lost my darling brother," Jenna said, feigning sweetness, "I had to look to Isaac and Garet for comfort."

Ivan raised an eyebrow, and Felix clenched his fists.

"As the years passed by, I looked up to Isaac and Garet, having no other family to comfort me. During the years before the Golden Sun, I started to think of them as more than just friends."

Jenna took a deep breath before continuing. She sounded as if she has forever wanted to get this off her chest.

"I've always made fun of your crush on Isaac," Jenna said, looking at Mia. "Well, it hasn't been just for fun..."

Mia frowned, but otherwise there was no reaction from the other two.

"I once had feelings for Isaac," Jenna admitted. "His gentle smile, his calm nature, pretty much the reasons you listed, Mia."

Her over-protective brother had a throbbing vein in his temple, but no one took any notice.

"When Kraden and I were captured, I thought of Isaac and Garet all the time. Obviously, I thought of Isaac more. However, there was, and still is, something about Garet's clumsiness that makes him attractive. Plus, there's something about that hair, I dunno..."

Unknown to Jenna, she was starting to blush. Ivan smirked, Mia became surprised, and Felix's vein bulged.

"However, any thoughts of a future between Isaac and me vanished when we reunited in Contigo." She was looking at Mia again, a look of regret on her face. "I saw the way you and him were looking at each other. I knew right there that I was too late."

Despite himself, Felix's expression softened. Mia, on the other hand, started to glow crimson.

"I had to accept the fact and if Isaac wasn't attracted to me before, he never would be. It tore me apart, but fortunately for me, by then my attraction to Garet had grown."

Jenna blushed again, but Felix's vein throbbed again. Unknown to him, he was sub-consciously ripping the arms of his chair to pieces.

"I'm sorry if I've made you feel bad, Mia," Jenna confessed honestly. "It's just my way of accepting that he can never be mine."

"Well, I'll try to take it in good humour from now on," Mia said.

The two girls hugged, but it was short-lived when Ivan cried out, "Holy Eclipses, Felix! What did you do to the chair!"


"Closing time, Garet!"

"At last," Garet said, dropping his mop.

"C'mon, Broom Boy," Sheba said, leading the way. Garet growled, but followed her out of the pub. However, as soon as Sheba closed, the door, they saw Piers still flying overhead, yelling in pain like Mario with his butt on fire.

"We saw nothing," Sheba said quickly. Garet nodded, and they walked back to Isaac's house.


"What did you do to the chair!"

Mia, Jenna and Ivan stared at Felix incredulously, whose hands still clawed onto what was left of the arms of his chair.

"Um... I dunno," he mumbled absent-mindedly.

The other three fell down in stupidity.

"How do you expect to explain this?" Jenna screamed, sending Mia and Ivan smashing into a wall and Felix toppling over the back of his chair.

"Well," Felix said slowly, poking his head out, "I'll just say Isaac had another accident."

Mia, Jenna and Ivan fell down in stupidity again. However, before Jenna could scream again, Piers came flying through an open window. He collided with a table and rolled into the kitchen, rolling into a garbage bin. Sweatdropping, the other four rushed into the kitchen to help him out.


"Jupiter!"

Mia, Felix and Ivan stared at Piers in disbelief. Jenna simply sat as the kitchen table in silence. Her eyes were closed and her arms were folded in apathy (Classic Kai Hiwatari pose).

"How'd you end up there?" Ivan asked.

"Um..." Piers thought back to before he was dumped on Jupiter...


"What do you mean, I'm 'kind of short'?"

Jenna towered over Piers, which looked funny as he was at least 8 inches taller (I think). She had a death glare to combat Mia with.

"Did... did I say short?" Piers said nervously. "I meant... um... vertically challenged."

"That's still short!" Jenna screamed and she summoned a Rising Dragon under Piers (don't ask how).

"What the -" Piers looked under him in time to be caught in the dragon's mouth. "Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa!"

Ding


"Oof!"

Piers landed on the hard ground... of Jupiter.

"I guess that's the last time I intentionally anger Jenna," he said, looking around. Suddenly, his mobile phone rang.

"Tell anyone about this and Jupiter will be Isaac's house compared to where I'll send you!" Jenna voice hissed. Piers sweatdropped heavily.

"But she's 5'3''," he said with a hint of spite in his voice. He looked around again. "But how do I get off here!"


"Aha! So that's how!"

Everyone jumped when Ivan suddenly pointed at Piers. However, while he pointed at the bewildered Lemurian, he was looking straight at Jenna.

"... What?" Jenna asked impatiently, opening an eye.

"You put him there!" Ivan declared, making Mia and Felix sweatdrop.

"... So?"

Everyone else falls down in stupidity.

"What for?" Felix asked in astonishment. Jenna glared at Piers, who shrank in fear.

"No one, and I mean no one, calls me short and gets away with it," she said. Felix became surprised.

"But, a lot of people we know are short," he said, and counted off his hand. "Ivan -"

"Hey!"

"Truth hurts, deal with it," Felix said before continuing. "Sheba, that weird girl who found us in Champa, looking for Isaac..."

"Feizhi?" Mia corrected, frowning a little.

"Yeah, probably," Felix said, waving a hand dismissively. "Anyway, in case you haven't noticed, Jenna, you're only two inches taller than Ivan and She -"

"What's that supposed to mean?" Jenna shrieked as Sheba and Garet entered the house. Garet started to backtrack, but Sheba grabbed him by the collar.

"Jenna's about to bite Felix's head off," she whispered to him. "Doesn't that seem a tiny bit appealing to you?"

"... Good point," Garet said, and stayed to watch Jenna approach her shaking brother.

"You're going to rue the day you called me short," she hissed, building a fireball in her hand. Unfortunately for her (and Garet), Mia's Djinni popped up out of nowhere.

"Hey girls," she said, as Fizz and Tonic sat on her shoulder. "What's up?"

"Hurry!" Fizz said. "Something's happened to Isaac!"

"What!" Mia bolted upstairs without another word.

"Huh? Mia!" Sheba called as Mia disappeared up the stairs. "C'mon guys," he said to the others, and ran up the stairs. Ivan and Piers followed quickly.

"Darn," Jenna and Garet said at the same time, and they started to follow the others. However, before Felix could breathe a sigh of relief, Jenna turned around and hissed, "I'll see to you later!" then ran upstairs.

"Why me?" Felix asked himself, and then went to join the others at Isaac's bedroom.


"Okay, what's happened?" Mia asked her Djinni when everyone was gathered outside Isaac's room.

No time for chat, Fizz chirped. Just hurry and see what's happened to Isaac.

Mia looked at the others nervously, but they simply shrugged. Taking in a deep breath, Mia opened the door, but before she could walk in the lights in Isaac's room flashed on. Everyone except Felix sweatdropped when they took in the sight before them: Isaac's shrine to Mia had not been turned back into his proper bedroom, so everyone could see the tribute to his blue-haired beauty.

Mia was already burning red, so when Isaac stepped out as a Slayer (thanks to his Venus Djinni), she would've melted into the floor in embarrassment. Isaac's ring was still controlling him, but no one seemed to notice this as Mia's Djinni transformed her into an Angel (so, really, she was Isaac's angel after all).

Mia wasn't the only one who was positively stunned. Garet and Jenna eyes were wider than dinner plates, Sheba's trademark smirk had disappeared off the face of the planet, and Felix, Piers and Ivan's mouths gaped open in shock. They all stared bewildered at Isaac, who still stood before them, dressed in leather armour, which included the sheath Mia bought him.

"What's going on?" Garet muttered to the others, but no one gave an answer they understood. He didn't have to wait long though, because music started to play from inside the room. A microphone mysteriously appeared in Isaac's hand, and he started to sing a song.


You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (It's all) It's all because of you


Baby, I really know by now

Since we met that day

You showed me the way

I felt it then you gave me love I can't describe

How much I feel for you

I said, baby, I should have known by now

Should have been right there whenever you gave me love

And if only you were here

I'd tell you

Yes, I'd tell you (oh, yeah)

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (It's all) It's all because of you


Honestly, could it be you and me

Like it was before neither less or more

'Cause when I close my eyes at night

I realize that no one else could ever take your place

I still can feel and it's so unreal

When you're touching me, kisses endlessly

It's just a place in the sun where our love's begun

I miss you, yes I miss you, baby, oh yeah

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (It's all) It's all because of you


If I knew how to tell you what's on my mind

Make you understand

Then I'd always be there right by your side

You're my sunshine after the rain

You're the cure against my fear and my pain

'Cause I'm losing my mind when you're not around

It's all (It's all) It's all because of you


As the song finished, a rose was conjured in Isaac's hand and he offered it to Mia. She took it with trembling hands, still not quite believing what was happening.

"Mia, my love," Isaac said (still under the influence of the ring), taking her hand, "when we met on that fateful day in Imil, I felt something special about you. Your lovely blue hair, the smile you gave when you treated the sick old man, the caring nature in which you treated him, they set off fireworks in my heart. We didn't even know each other, but I knew you were the one I was destined to give my heart to."

Isaac took a deep breath before continuing.

"When you told us how Alex betrayed you and broke your heart, I swore to myself that I would never try to make you sad. It tore me apart every time you stayed awake at night, crying because Alex turned his back on you. However, my love for you strengthened through the knowledge that you are also passionate and unselfish, willing to put the needs of others before yours... even if it cost you your life."

For the first time, Isaac's voice cracked and his eyes avoided Mia's. Mia tried to tilt her head to meet Isaac's eyes, but they remained looking anywhere but at her.

"You remember our fight with the Fusion Dragon, don't you? I thought I'd lost you when you were knocked out by their Outer Space attack..."

Garet and Ivan remembered this all too well. When Mia collapsed, Isaac turned into a psycho. Even without Feizhi's ring, he became a maniac, thrusting his sword at the Fusion Dragon with no regard for the consequences. Soon, the Fusion Dragon was no more, but Isaac was only concerned for Mia. He repeatedly used Revive to try and bring Mia back to life, but she remained unconscious. However, just as Isaac started to shed silent tears, Mia finally opened her eyes. She never saw the tears, but it was then that Garet and Ivan realised Isaac's greatest strength, all in one.

"But now," Isaac continued, finally looking back at Mia, "you stand here before me, the love of my life, and just as I promised on the Lemurian boat, I promise to make you happier than you've ever been. I love you, Mia, and nothing, nothing in this would will tear the love I have for you... even if you don't feel the same way."

Mia let these words take full effect on her, and she fell into Isaac's arms, weeping in joy.

"Oh, Isaac," she sobbed, "I never knew you felt the same way I do about you. When you asked me to join you, I felt some kind of overwhelming happiness, more than I'd ever felt with Alex. I cried at night not only because of what I'd lost with Alex, but also because of what I'd gained while travelling with you, Garet and Ivan. I gained battle experience, Psynergy skills and travelling knowledge, but there was something else more important. I gained friends, companions I could rely on, and who were more caring than Alex ever was. However, it was you, Isaac, who always drove me to keep going. Even through the hard times, you showed me the way."

Mia finally lifted her head, and two pairs of sky blue eyes met.

"You've already made me happier tonight than I've ever been," she said softly, "and I feel there's only one way to repay you for everything you've done for me..."

Before anyone knew what was happening, Mia held Isaac closer to her, and they engaged in a long, heartfelt and passionate kiss. The guys hooted and the girls high-fived each other as the ring's effect on Isaac started to wane, and Isaac's eyes fluttered as he and Mia released.

"I love you, Isaac," she said warmly, looking into Isaac's eyes again. Isaac was flabbergasted, but his surprise quickly turned into swelling compassion.

"I love you too," he said, and they shared another kiss. No one else was around (they were all looking for places to puke), but the two lovebirds didn't care less even if they were.


"How the heck..."

Jason Powern stared at the wedged Lemurian boat in disbelief. His glasses hung precariously on his nose while he surveyed the beached sea vessel, frowning slightly.

"Not much is he?" Jenna muttered to Mia.

"I dunno," Mia asked, side glancing at Isaac. He caught her eye and grinned.

"He got the taxi off the Great Healer's roof, didn't he?"

"You're right," Mia said smiling, but her brows furrowed for a moment. "I wonder how it got there in the first place."

"So do I," Isaac said, brows furrowing in suspicion. Everyone else present (Dora, Garet, Jenna, Felix, Sheba, Ivan and Piers) scratched their heads in confusion - except for Piers, who tried to look as confused as the others.

"Well, Jason said finally, "this shouldn't take very long. Sit back and watch a master at work." However, he immediately tripped over Sheba's 'coincidentally' placed foot and fell into the well. "Waaaaaaaaaaaa..." Splash.

"Er... whoops," Sheba said sarcastically, smirking. Everyone groaned in exasperation.


Two hours later, Jason was rescued, dry, and has removed the boat from the roof of Dora and Isaac's house. He didn't stick around for long afterwards, fearing that he might fall into the well again. When he left, all eyes were on Sheba, who said, "Well, he wasn't very careful was he?" Everyone fell down in stupidity.

"Guess you'll be sailing off again, Piers?" Garet asked him as everyone recovered. Piers nodded.

"Now that my boat's free, I guess so."

Everyone nodded and Piers climbed aboard his vessel. As the wings flapped, everyone waved to him. Smiling, he waved back, and soon the boat was airborne. A few seconds later, it, and Piers were gone.

"Everything's back to normal," Isaac said, putting an arm around Mia's waist. Mia smiled up at him.

"It's better though, isn't it?"

"Of course."

Isaac and Mia looked into each other's eyes then kissed each other amorously. Everyone immediately ducked to puke again, except for Dora who smiled serenely.

"I'd better get a bigger bed for your room, Isaac," she said. "I want grandchildren as soon as possible."

Everyone ducking fell over, and Isaac and Mia froze in mid-kiss.


Meanwhile, aboard Piers' boat...

"Nice to be sailing around again," he said to himself. "Nothing but peace, quiet and solitude..."

Little did he know, someone was hiding in his cabin. The person looked exactly like the travelling Lemurian.

"That's what you think," the person said, smiling malevolently. However, as the boat clumsily collided into some mountains, the person stumbled and fell backwards into the (unflushed) toilet.

"AAAAAAUUUUGGGGHHHH!"

The End


Lord Cynic: "At last! Baka!"

Mini Jenna: "... Baka?"

Lord Cynic: "It's my fave Japanese word. Baka Bakura!"

Others: "... HUH?"

Lord Cynic: "Er... nothing..."
