Karana Belle: Okay sorry it took so long to get another chapter up but I had other stories and they needed to be updated and then I had to visit relatives on Saturday, I wasn't even on a computer the whole day! Reviewers:

Lily (Lena) Evans—oh! Now I know what you're saying, sorry but I didn't know that she wrote the book after the first game, but don't worry that book will have no more reference (hopefully) in this story!

Sendoh1027—I am trying VERY hard to make them longer, but it is really hard for me! (Don't know why...) Yes, You can ask me a favor and I will do my best to do or answer it!

kaio—yeah I was thinking of making them kiss, but I wanted the story to be longer! But don't worry they will eventually kiss...sometime.

It's Crazy What A Book Can Do

Chapter 3

It was loud in Hai Yo's restaurant, no it wasn't another person trying to compete, it was because Shu had brought Apple there so she could eat and they could talk. Many of Apple's friends had come into the eating area to talk to her; after all they haven't spoken with her for two years.

At this moment Leona was talking to Apple, trying to get ANY gossip from her that came from Toran. While Apple was trying to recall anything that she had heard the son of Lepant came sauntering up.

"Apple! How good to see you!" Sheena hugged the girl he was talking to and Apple, having not seen nor heard Sheena; Apple was shocked, wondering who was hugging her. But before she could turn around Shu spoke up in an angry voice, "Sheena, just the man I was looking for. Could you do something for me?"

Taking his arms from around Apple he answered, "Sure."

"Thank you." Shu didn't even continue on, leaving Sheena standing there, trying to figure out what Shu wanted him to do.

Talk continued on as though Sheena had never stepped into the room. Soon one of the young waitresses came up carrying the food for Apple and Shu.

Everyone then left to go and eat their own food or they went to continue their duties they have left undone. Leona and Viktor were the only other ones at Apple's table; they had decided to join them in the meal.

"So Apple, this question has been bothering me, why did you leave? And why did you come back?" Viktor commented, after just taking a bite.

"Well, I left because I was just too stuffed up in this castle. And I haven't really been any where lately then." Leona nodded, agreeing with Apple, "I came back because I had been to far away and I missed you all very much..." Apple trailed off.

"Were those your only reasons?" Shu, realizing what he said and what HE meant behind it, focused on eating his food.

"I...think so. But I'm not sure. Ever since just a little before I left I haven't been able to understand how I feel very well. Anyways let's talk about something un-depressing. What have you all been up to these past two years?"

"Well not much. Except the usual, I keep on getting drunk people in my tavern all the time doing stupid things. Like that one time when Flik, Amada, and Viktor stood up on the table and..." interrupting Leona Viktor started coughing loudly, so that Apple couldn't hear the rest of the story.

"Sorry Apple. I guess I can't tell you the story." Leona apologized, but when Viktor wasn't looking she mouthed, 'I'll tell you later.'

They continued to talk until they finished eating, at which time Apple stood up, "Excuse me but I think I will go and get some sleep."

"Would you like me to accompany you?" Shu started to get up, but Apple waved her hand.

"No, I want Leona to come with me...I seem to have forgotten where my room is." Apple blushed a little, showing her embarrassment. Then Leona and Apple walked out of the restaurant.

Viktor looked at Shu, who had a hurt expression on his face, and said, "Well Shu, I guess we're not needed by those ladies. Guess us men just have to stick together." Even though he said those words, he was really thinking, 'Poor Shu, its obvious to everyone, except Apple herself, that he loves her. Especially because of how he acted for days after she left, locked up in that room, never leaving. It's sad.'

After hearing what Viktor said out loud, Shu tried to smile, but to no avail. After a couple of minutes Shu stood up, "I think I'll go to bed. Goodnight Viktor."

"WHAT! You're leaving me too?" Shu didn't hear Viktor's remark though as he walked away.

^^^^^^^^^^^

"So what did Flik, Amada, and Viktor do?" Apple really was curious, I mean, if Viktor tried to make it unheard, how funny is it really?

"Well, first of all they got up on the table, then they started dancing with each other. They also sang very horribly, and lastly they started acting like women! With the voice and everything." They both started laughing, and they still hadn't stopped when they got to Apple's room.

"Goodnight." Apple then walked into her room to get some shut-eye.

Karana: okay, what Viktor, Flik, and Amada did wasn't very funny, I admit. But I couldn't think of anything else. Any way you like? REVIEW PLEASE!
