Sheba-Do you even have a life besides Fic writing?
Lash- *rolls on floor laughing*
Ivan-We're serious...
Lash-Oh....ok...I do have a life! In fact it took me half an hour to write the last chapter! In fact I have a party to go to later on!
Hiana- *now an official muse* Another of your dad's boring company brunches?
Lash-Surprisingly not! I'm going to a club! WOOHOO! And I have a date! WOOHOO! And in my happiness I decided to write the next chapter! And more clues! There will be a yaio pairing, but it won't be anywhere near obvious! Muahahahhaha. Ow! ZZZZZZZZZZZZ. *falls asleep*
Ivan- *pulls syringe out of Lash's shoulder* There we go! Now for the new banner! Picked by me!

Piers ran through the town, leaving a cloud of dust behind him. But before the dust would settle, Felix ran through, kicking up even more dust. Piers ran through the market, through the plaza, and past the outskirts of town, with Felix still in hot pursuit. Piers grabbed a lamppost to help himself turned the next corner. He looked behind himself to see Felix still chasing him with no trouble at all. He looked forward again, but it was too late.
Piers collided with the wall. Concrete met soft flesh as he slammed into it. Piers could feel every bone in his body tremble and a severe pulsing started racing through his head. He could feel his nose flatten against the rough wall. He stayed against the wall for a second, then he staggered back. Felix was running down the alley. "Piers?!" he shouted, a tone of concern in his voice.
Piers paid him no mind as he stood there with a dazed look on his face. His pupils were facing in each other's direction and he began swinging. "Ow..." he said. Then Piers fell to the ground. The last thing he saw was Felix standing over him, saying his name over and over again.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Meanwhile after Mia's little rehearsal, Garet, Jenna, Ivan and Mia went their own ways. Garet and Jenna were back at the river, trying to think of another plan. They sat on the grassy ground, back to back. Jenna leaned on Garet's back. "I'm getting nothing" she said "How about you?" Garet sat there silent for a moment. "...Nope" he said, rubbing his chin with his thumb.
Jenna sighed and pulled her knees up to her chest. "At this rate, I'll never win his heart..." she said to herself. Garet groaned. "If you're not gonna tell me who it is, could you at least give me a hint?" he said, turning his head to look at her reflection in the water.
Jenna smiled to herself. "He's sweet and kind and strong and smart and he knows everything about me and..." she paused. "Other people don't think that he's any of that but I can tell. I'm like that myself sometimes. I'm really sweet, you know? I'm just stubborn" she said, hugging her legs tightly. Garet smiled and crossed his legs Indian-style. "You're sweet? Gee... I never noticed." He said gleefully.
Jenna frown, then she sat up abruptly. Without Jenna supporting him, Garet fell backwards lightly. Jenna towered over him, frowning down at him. Garet's smile faded as he saw the look on Jenna's face. He knew Jenna too well to feel safe. The way her eyes burned and the way she was gripping her staff ... Garet let out a squeak and rolled out of the way just as Jenna shouted, "Dragon Fume!"
And so Garet ended up running through Vale, with an angry Jenna after him. Garet ran, dodging the flames, ducking and flailing. Jenna caught up with him soon enough. "Get back here Garet!" she shouted, swinging her staff. Garet ran even faster, feeling the staff brushing against his back.
Jenna caught up again easily. She dropped her staff, letting the rod slam onto the dusty floor. She grabbed his tunic, slowing him down. Garet pulled at her tugging, now seriously afraid for his well being. Jenna didn't care, with a mighty leap she jumped onto Garet's back. She grabbed his tunic as she began slipping. She wrapped her arms around his neck and her legs around his waist, making it even harder for him to flee.
Jenna smiled evilly, leaning closer to Garet's ear. "Hey Garet..." she said, her eyes glowing. Garet screamed and began zigzagging around the place. Jenna hung on, her arms nearly choking the older boy's neck. "Stop Garet!" she shouted. "Uhh... whoa horsy?" she said, a sweat drop dripping down her head.
Garet stopped just as they reached the riverbank again. He tumbled on the steep hill, falling to the ground. Jenna finally let go, crashing into the ground next to him. The duo rolled down the hill that led to the river. The spun like cheese wheels, then splashed into the water for the second time that day.
Jenna forced her head over the water, spitting out the water. Garet bobbed up after her. The two smiled at each other for a moment, then Jenna's smiled faded and was replaced by a frown. "Look what you did!" she said, splashing the water at Garet. Garet splashed her back. "This wouldn't have happened if you hadn't attacked me!" he shouted, over the roar of the river.
The two continued to splash at each other, not even noticing the current sweeping them southwards. The river widened and the shore grew farther away. Suddenly a great roaring was heard, and both of them looked ahead. The river ran on for a few more yards, then ended in nothing. "Waterfall!" Jenna shouted, as she began swimming against the current. The current was already too strong, and the water too deep, for her to swim, and Garet was obviously no better.
The two looked at their impending doom, and grabbed each other, screaming like a Piers without a sailing license. Then the water ended and the two Mars Adepts fell over the edge, screaming all the while....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Garet fell first, now free of Jenna's grip. He saw the water rising up at him. He could hear Jenna's yells over his own and figured she couldn't be too far up. He braced himself as he crashed into the water. He closed his eyes, letting himself sink to the deep bottom. He opened his eyes while he was still underwater.
Big mistake... While the deep blue and waving and silence would have calmed most people, it totally freaked the poor champion out. He kicked with all his might, flapping his arms, trying to reach surface. The water down here was calmer and the only disturbance was near the waterfall. Garet broke through the surface, then looked around for Jenna.
"GARET!" A voice shouted from overhead. Garet looked up but couldn't see anything. "Over here!" the voice shouted again. Garet looked behind him, towards the waterfall. On the edge of the water fall were great trees, with the branches jutting out in front of the rushing water. Jenna was hanging from one of them, her shirt grabbed by it.
Garet rushed out of the water and ran to the waterfall. "Jenna? Are you ok?" he shouted. Jenna looked down at him. "Sure! I'm hanging 50 feet up from the ground and I'm completely fine! Of course not you idiot!" she shouted. Garet put his fists on his hips. "You don't have to be so mean, you know?" he shouted.
Jenna sighed. "Just get me down, will you?" she shouted. She looked down at the ground. Her weight had bent the branch and now instead of it hanging over the water, it was directly above the rocky ground. She could feel it creaking and already a few splinters were ripping itself from the branch. Garet thought for a moment. Then he held his arms out. "Jump Jenna!" he shouted.
Jenna looked down in disbelief. "Are you crazy?" she shouted "You might drop me!" She thought of Garet accidentally missing her and her body hitting the rough ground. 'Just think of the damage' she thought 'My body will be scarred, not to mention my outfit!' Jenna screamed as the branch began breaking even more.
"Jump Jenna!" Garet shouted again "Trust me!" Jenna thought it over. "I can't get unhooked from the branch" she said, but then she found she wouldn't need to. The branch gave way again and snapped, now all that was holding her was a few shreds of wood...
Jenna sighed. "Ready?" she shouted. Garet nodded, bracing his arms. Jenna began to swing. She swung her legs to the side, trying to snap the branch. But now the damned thing didn't seem to want to break. Jenna kept swinging, then tried bobbing up and down. She sighed and stopped moving. "It's not breakiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiing!" she said, but just as she said it, the branch finally broke.
Jenna screamed, her eyes closed and her arms getting closer to each other. She fell to the earth, the branch falling after her. She could literally feel the ground rise up to hit her, when suddenly she stopped moving. Jenna opened her eyes to find herself in Garet's large arms.
Garet grinned. "I told ya I'd catch you!" he said. Jenna smiled and looked at the Garet in the eyes. Suddenly the branch fell and hit Garet on the head. It wasn't heavy at all, but it did interrupt. Garet stood there, with Jenna in his arms, the two staring at the branch. Jenna then began moving "You can put me down now Garet..." she said.
"Wah? Oh yeah!" Garet dropped his left arm, letting her stand up and helped her with his right. Jenna stared at him. "Thanks..." she said smiling. Garet blushed. "That's ok." He said, placing a hand on the back of his head. Jenna nodded, hesitating. Then she rushed up to Garet, wrapping her arms around him. "Thanks for everything. You're a real friend Garet..." she said, nestling herself to his chest. Garet smiled and wrapped his arms around her. This moment should have happened long ago, when they found her, but now, the moment came for Jenna and Garet to finally get along.
