There's a fine line between fishing and just standing on the shore like an idiot.

Dexroth: I should have known this would happen.

Dahk: Yay! We have our own story!

^**^^*^*^*^**^^*^^*^*^***^

This is our tragic play.

*^^*^*^*^**^*^^*^*^*^*

Kitty: Oh….Tragic love :sigh:…

Lance: Does that mean if we die she'll love us?

Kurt: You try first.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

The performance holds only us two, my sweet angel.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^**^^*^*^*

Dahk: Oh, so sad. *sniff*

Dexroth: Why do I feel an approaching storm?

Storm: Beck is paying me.

Dexroth: Capitalism at it's best and worst.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^

I walk in the shadows to meet you again, because my heart would surely break if I shan't see your beautiful face.

^*^*^*^*^*^^**^^*^*^*^**^^*

Amara: Poetic. Who's gonna die?

Dexroth: You make my morale soar.

Jubes: Anytime these stories get that poetic, somebody dies.

Dexroth: Yeah, but do you have to draw attention to the fact?

*^^*^**^^*^*^**^^*^^*^*^^**^^*^*^*^

Sometimes I wonder if I am truly worthy. I am just a thief. Dashing yes, but not the sort of person a lady of your stature should fall for.

Dahk.

*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^

Dahk: So sweet…

Dexroth:…

Rogue: What is with the flowery speech?

Beck: I happen to like being descriptive.

Rogue: Descriptive? This is the kind of stuff you read when you want to throw-up!

Dahk: Shut-up! You're just mad because my story is better and you're secretly jealous!!

Rogue: Of what? Someone dies in your story!

Dahk: That just makes it more likeable!

Dexroth: Not quite sure how that works.

Beck: Don't think about it.

^**^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^**^*^

You are there in the moonlight, awaiting my arrival. Your dress flows lightly with the breeze, and I stand in the shadows watching, because you are so beautiful. Your green eyes sparkle with an inner fire that none could quench…

*^*^*^*^*^*^^^*^**^*^*^^*^^*

Magneto: Good news!

Beck: Eh?

Magneto: I got myself a new Doom! And the clerk was quite polite, they gave me MISFORTUNE, ILLFATE, DEATH, RUIN, DESTRUCTION absolutely free!
Beck: How wondrous.

Magneto: Yes, now I shall wait to destroy Jaganashi till the end!

Beck: Isn't Jaganashi so lucky? How much did you pay?

Magneto: A heinous amount…Why is that alligator in here?

Beck: That's Albert. By the by, Laureate says hi.

*^^*^*^**^^*^*^*^**^^^^**^

I step out of the shadows and you look at me, amused. You have never been afraid of me, as dangerous as I am. I stand next to you and we look out over the world from this balcony. Here the world is so far away, and nothing could separate us.

*^^*^**^*^**^*^*^*^^*^*^^**^^*^*^^*

Dexroth: Figures she would be using RPG timelines.

Beck: I can't help that. If I stuck you in space, would you be happy?

Dexroth; No, I'd have air sickness.

Beck:…Alriiight….

^^*^^*^**^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*

I whisper that I love you and you smile, saying that you know. And you wrap your arms around my neck and kiss me. It is a perfect kiss.

It would have to be. It came from you, my love.

^*^**^^*^**^*^^**^^*^**^^*^**^^*^^*^*^*

Pietro: Oh man, I know where this is going.

Wanda: Someone's gonna kick the bucket.

Beck: Will you IDIOTS stop ruining the story?

Todd: We always ruin the story yo!

Beck: But now you're giving it away!

^**^^**^^**^*^*^*^*^**^^*

And when the kiss is broken I feel an incredible sadness. But I know that we will kiss again.

A sound startles me. I have always been alert, but when I am with you I sometimes get careless…

It is no use trying to hide. They have seen us, your fiancé has guards to watch your every move, and now even one as skilled as I could not have slipped in undetected.

*^*^*^^*^*^^*^**^^**^*^^**^^**^^*^*

Jean: This is getting so exciting!

Dexroth: Well, have Scott get killed then it will be alright.

Scott: HEY!

Dexroth: Girl wants excitement in her life.

*^^*^**^*^*^**^*^^^*^^^**^^*^*^*^*

I feel as if time is slowing. The blade shines like a crescent moon as it descends into its death-arc.

It should have hit me.  But you stepped in front of me. Why?

Why did you sacrifice your life for me?

*^**^*^*^**^^**^^**^*^*^*^*^**^

Magneto: Why indeed?

Dahk: Don't make me beat you with your own helmet.

^**^*^*^^*^**^*^^*^**^^**^**^*^*^

I hold you as the blood streams through my fingers. You are dying, my love, and I can do nothing to help. Even as clever as I am, my cunning cannot devise a way to save your life.  I tilt your head and give you one last kiss my love, until we meet again.

"Live, Dexroth, you cannot die here. Live for me."

I obey your last wish, though it tears at my heart. I throw myself forward at the guards that meant to kill me, and I run to the shadows.  The shadows will protect me, for that is where I hide my heart.

Where I hide from the pain of losing you.

^**^*^^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^**^**^*^*^

Dahk: *sniffle* That was so romantic.

Dexroth: Erm, yes, I suppose it was…ack!

Dahk: *kissing Dex*

Arcane: *wanders in*

Dahk: *changes into Danny for the last time*

Arcane: *glare*

Dexroth: *getting away from Danny* It's not what it looks like?

Arcane: This is low, even for you. I'm going to shoot you for taking advantage of a girl with a split personality.

Danny: I'm much better now.

^*^*^*^**^^*^^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^*

Dexroth: I WANT A RESTRANING ORDER!

Arcane: Don't run.

Beck:…Let's ignore that.

Danny: Hunh. Come back after fourteen years of being crazy and everything goes crazy around you.

Beck:…Oh well.

Doggy: Wof.

^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^^*^*^*^*^**^*^*^

Don't understand Danny's comment? I wouldn't either, if I just started reading. So in light of that, I'm going to shamelessly advertise all of my other stories, most importantly the Evolution of Terror. Well, enough of that.
