Hello, everybody. Guess Misfits didn't do too well. Ah well, here's chapter 2. BTW, since is screwed, and I can't do my scene changy thingy, I shall use ----. As stupid as that sounds, I believe it's the only way. On with the fic!

Problems With Everyone- - - -
"Alright now Jenna..." Sheba said with a notepad and pen in her hands and her legs crossed. Jenna was lying on the couch, and Felix had gone down to town with Piers who had just arrived from Lemuria. "Tell me... what's wrong?"
"Hm... well, I saw something today that I wish I never saw in my whole entire life." Jenna replied, she sighed and closed her eyes.
"Was Garet running around only in his boxers again?" Sheba asked.
"Um... no, did that ever happen?"
"Uh... nope, nevermind." Sheba replied. "Okay then, what was it?"
"Well, Isaac and Mia were kissing..." Jenna trailed off. The memory was very painful to her. "...and I can't help but feel sad... and occasionally want to kill Mia."
"Well, it's normal to feel sad, but the second one... that's because your insane." Sheba said quietly.
"What did you say?" Sheba knew she had been caught so she thought up a lie, and she thought it up quick.
"I said, it's normal to feel sad... because you're in pain." Sheba lied. "You love Isaac, but my dear, he doesn't love you that way." Sheba took a deep breath. "He loves you though, Jenna, he loves you like you were his own sister, he would never want to hurt you."
"Then, what is he doing to me now?"
"You're jealous Jenna, simple as that." Sheba scribbled something down. "You want him to love you, but Jenna... you treat him like a brother, not as something more then that." Jenna closed her eyes. "I don't think you love him that way, I believe that this is a misunderstood love."
"But maybe Mia isn't the right one for him." Jenna said hopefully.
"Jenna, I may not know Isaac as well as you, but I know very well that when he decides something, he knows it's for the best."
"I know..." Jenna said reluctantly. "But, what should I do now?"
"Hm... well, do you interest in any other men?" Sheba raised an eyebrow. "Unless... it isn't a man..."
"Sheba!"
"What!?"
"Don't even go there!" Jenna said shooting up from her seat. "I don't swing that way and if anything I like Garet!" She noticed what she had said and clamped her mouth with her hands.
"Aha!" Sheba said triumphantly. "And I didn't have to read your mind!" Jenna just sat down and kept on covering her mouth. "What's wrong?"
"I just... never, knew... that I... liked him." Jenna hesitantly replied. Sheba just was scribbling things down on her note pad. "What the hell are you writing anyways?"
"Oh... nothing..." Sheba replied.
"Really, can I see?"
"No."
"You said it was nothing..."
"And it is nothing now leav- Jenna, let go of me!"
"No! Let me see!"
"NO!"
"It's nothing tho..." Jenna ripped the notepad out of her hands and laughed as she read what was written.
Written in a heart, was: Sheba and Ivan forever------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Much to Master Hama's dismay, she wasn't able to talk to Ivan for he had ran to his bedroom and made himself fall asleep with the psyenergy, Sleep. She sat down with Garet after the "Fight for Food" or as Garet said, 'Dinner time' had subsided.
"So... what brings you here?" Garet asked munching on his apple. Hama looked at his apple with a hungry look. "Want one?"
"That would be nice of you." She replied. He got up and got her an apple. She began eating it. "I came here to speak to Ivan... you see, I saw a bit of his future that I'm sure he won't like."
"I see, and that would be?"
"Complete failure."
"In what?"
"Singing."
"I see." A few moments of silence passed. "Um, what were we talking about again?" Hama fell from her seat and slowly got herself back up.
"Never mind it Garet, it doesn't matter..." She paused as she saw Ivan walking out rubbing his eyes.
"Is it still night?"
"Yes, it is Ivan."
"Master Hama?!" Ivan began to run for his room until some how he just froze in mid-air. "How...the...?" Hama flashed a small smile and showed a gem in her hand. Ivan tried to drop his mouth. "GARET! YOU GAVE HER THE HALT GEM!?" Garet looked to the ceiling and put his finger on his mouth and gave a thoughtful look.
"Let's see... hm... yeah, I did."
"Now, brother, why are you so afraid of conversing with me, let alone greet me either?"
"I well... it all started two days ago..."
---flashback---
'We were in Vault... and so we were shopping, as Christmas is coming soon you know.'
'Isn't it like a month from now?'
'Shut up Garet!' 'Will you just continue?''Very well...'
"Um... let's go in here, c'mon Garet!" Jenna grabbed his hand and pulled him into the store. Sheba looked up at the sign that was laid across, and grinned to herself.
"I like your idea." A voice said behind her. She jumped four feet high and turned to find a boy as tall as her smirking. "Scare you?"
"Ivan! No, not at all!"
"Don't embarrass Garet to much, you know he likes Jenna."
"He does?"
"Didn't you ever read his mind?"
"He has one of those!?" Ivan suppressed his laughter as best as he could and smirked.
"Heh... funny, well I gotta buy something... for Christmas."
"Isn't that in a month?" Ivan just stood stiff.
"Yeah, it's just that it's special so... yeah, you know."
"Oh, I see... for someone special huh?"
"Yep." Ivan began walking quietly but heard footsteps. "And please don't try to find out?"
"Aww, c'mon." He turned around and smiled. 'Wow... he's really cute when he smiles like that...'
"It's a surprise!"
"Alright, but I better get a good present!" He smiled again a nodded. Then he walked off. Sheba sighed. "When do I tell him how I feel?" She walked into the store and saw Jenna and Garet skimming through the aisles. She walked passed the clerk who greeted by bowing and saying "Welcome to our store!" Sheba bowed in return and walked over to Garet. She picked out a pot of some kind and showed it to him.
"Um... Garet?"
"What is it Sheba?"
"How much do you think this is?"
"I'd have to say at least 20 pieces of gold." Sheba began cracking up. "Wha- what?"
"You're such an idiot Garet!"
"What the hell!?" Jenna looked over his shoulder.
"She get you with the old 'how much is this?' trick? You do know this is the One Gold Store right?" (A/N: Don't sue me, I'm funny!)
"J-jenna?" Garet turned to face her but his sword's hilt grabbed onto something that he really didn't want to happen. It grabbed onto Jenna's tunic and it ripped, right on her chest revealing something.
"Woah, Jenna, you got some huge knockers don'tcha?" Sheba asked cracking up.
"Wha-?" She looked down and saw her two friends. She then looked at Garet who was staring at her. "PERVERT!"
"Jenna! Wait, I didn't mean to!"
'Garet, can you please let Ivan finish his story first? Then maybe we'll listen to you.'
'I thought I was allowed to speak, after all, he did have Sheba say things that I really doubt she said.'
'Hey!'
'Ivan, finish your story.'
Ivan looked at the many shops in the small village, some had things showing through windows, some didn't. "How am I going to find the perfect gift for Sheba...?" He then stood still and clutched his head in pain.
'And yeah... that's when I got my premonition of you coming and telling me, so you can say that I was really upset that you'd tell me.'
--end of-flashback---
"I see, so that's why you tried not seeing me."
"Sister?"
"Yes?"
"Can you please just trust my judgment on this one?"
"On what?" Garet began scratching the back of his head, where there was a bump, obviously from Jenna's doing.
"My singing career!"
"So, that's what we were talking about!" The Hama and Ivan fell in shock.
-------
"Well... that was fun..." Mia said between pants.
"Yeah... loads... better clean up before my mom comes home..." Isaac smiled.
"You're really good ya know."
"Thanks, you two."
"Really, I don't think anyone's beaten me in cards before."
"Aww... well, me and Garet got bored on the boat so at night we'd play a couple of games..."
"While me and Ivan froze to death above deck?" Isaac winced as he heard that.
"Um... have I told you lately that I love you Mia?"
"Nah, but it wouldn't hurt to hear it again." Isaac placed his hands on her hips and lifted her up.
"Mia, I love you."
"I love you too Isaac." She kissed on the lips and then kissed his nose. He put her down and she yawned.
"Tired?"
"Yeah... after all that we did, anyways, dare or dare was fun but if your parents found out..." She drifted off.
"They won't." She smiled.
"You're beautiful when you smile."
"And I'm not when I don't?"
"No, just a little bit less."
"I see." She walked to the door and turned to face him. Isaac just was stunned at how she looked. She smiled.
"You're pretty handsome yourself, but more when your without clothes." She then left for bed.
Isaac only grinned. (A/N: I'll just let your imaginations run wild on this one)
-------
"So, this is Vale huh?" Felix nodded. "It's... actually pretty big."
"Well, what did you expect."
"From your explanation, pretty small, but then again it's nothing like Lemuria."
"Oh shut up will you Piers? You're from an ancient civilization that stops death from just a potion, of course it's bigger then Vale!" Piers just grinned and flashed a peace sign with his fingers. (A/N: This: ) "Where else would they stick all the girly looking men?"
"One to talk? You have a pony-tail." Piers retorted.
"Pony-tails are in season ya know, it's the new black." Felix replied coldly.
"Yeah, sure." Piers' eyes floated over to a bar. "C'mon, let's go get a drink."
"Yeah! I'm gonna get wasted!"
---Next Day---
"Ow... my aching head..." Felix ran his hand through his hair and scratched his head. "I'm never going to drink again..."
"At least you weren't hit on by twenty men and asked for your address unlike me." Piers sighed.
"Told you, you looked girly."
"Yeah... whatever...."
....
....
"Piers?"
"Yeah?"
"I'm going to go throw up."
"You do that."
-------
"So, what're we doing?"
"I don't know, I guess we'll just meet up with everyone for a good bye and good luck party for you and we're gonna go see Jenna and Sheba now."
"But..."
"Don't you want to see Sheba?" Garet asked with a smirk.
"Shut up, you just wanna see Jenna."
"No, I don't."
"Garet, I don't even have to read your mind to know that you do." Ivan laughed.
"Whatever, small fry." Garet replied.
"Don't call me that?"
"Or what? The Fellowship of the Midgets are gonna kill me? Yah, okay."
"They might if you just ask for it." They arrived at Jenna and Felix's house in silence and knocked. Sheba answered the door, in her pajama's, yawning looking up to see Garet.
"Hello..." She trailed off. She then saw Ivan and quickly shut the door. About ten seconds later she opened the door fully dress and breathing heavily. "Come... come in." They did so and looked around. It was a really nice house, with lots of neat furniture. Ivan sat down on the couch and closed his eyes for a minute.
"Um... Sheba? Where's Jenna?"
"Oh... she's um... in her room, you can go see her."
"Thanks." Garet walked off to the hallway to Jenna's bedroom. Sheba sat down and said quietly.
"1..."
"2..." Ivan said unconsciously.
"3!" The both of them yelled. Right after they said that they heard a loud scream.
"KYAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH! PERVERT!" And then they heard a loud thud, then a loud crash, then a yell which resembled much like an 'ow'. Sheba and Ivan both began laughing. The door then opened up and revealed Garet with bruises and bandages.
"Why'd you do that Sheba!?"
"More importantly, how are you still alive!?" The two small Jupiter Adepts couldn't stop laughing until they saw the half-naked, fuming, distressed Jenna. They shut their mouths and acted as if they were doing something before.
"How... dare... you... look at me... you... you... pervert!"
"Jenna! I... I didn't mean to!"
"Ooh... I hate you Garet!" Jenna roared angrily. She then stormed off furious. Garet just stood there stupefied.
The words I hate you Garet rung in his head loudly over and over again. He just stood there.... and Sheba knew she went to far.
"She hates him?" Ivan whispered.
"Maybe I went a bit too far." Sheba said quietly.
"Yeah... maybe... let me see what's going on in his head..." Ivan got up and peered into Garet's mind and frowned. "It's just Jenna's voice screaming I hate you Garet."
"Yep, we went a bit over board... sorry Garet."
"If you'll excuse me, I'm going now." With saying that, he left the house and sulked all the way home.
"Poor Garet..." Jenna then slowly crept from the hallway.
"Don't feel pity for him!" She cried.
"Jenna, haven't you noticed that every supposed perverted act he's done to you, it's been an accident?" Ivan asked.
"Well... I... no, I didn't."
"Well, it was." Ivan jumped from the couch. "And it was sorta... my fault."
"No, Ivan, it was my fault." Sheba sighed.
"So, I beat up Garet for no reason right?"
"Yep, it would seem so." Ivan soon regretted what he said as Jenna rolled up her sleeves and charged at the both of them.
"I hate it when we feel bad..." Sheba whined.
------
"Congratulations and good luck!" Everyone yelled as Ivan entered the room. He smiled and rubbed his lightly swollen eye remembering what Jenna had said.
{"You're lucky that today's your going away party and you have to look good!"}
"Thank you, God." He muttered to himself as he was introduced to the wide variety of food and drinks. He didn't know he was that hungry until now, so he grabbed as much as he could, sat down, and ate his food quickly.
"Ya know, you can choke if you eat fast?" A girl asked. "Or even worse, get the hiccups?" Ivan looked at the girl in surprise.
"Whba?" He said with food still in his mouth. Quickly remembering his manners, he swallowed his food and repeated himself. "Sheba? Don't you mean or even worse choke?"
"Doesn't matter, does it? Both are bad." Ivan had to agree in some way. Slow music began to play and some men (and young boys) walked to some women (and young girls) and invited them to dance. Ivan looked to Sheba, who's attention was pointed toward the dancing couples.
"Sheba?" She turned her sight to him. "Would you like to dance?" She smiled happily.
"I would love to." Ivan stood up and arched his arm. She then slid hers through the hole between his arm and body and he guided her to the floor. (A/N: I don't know why, but I have such a thing for describing everything don't I?)
-------
"Aww... I'm gonna miss you Ivan." Jenna hugged him tightly until he couldn't breath. Garet grinned slightly at this, 'Why, oh why can't that be me...?' he thought.
Isaac walked up to him and shook his hand. "I know you'll do good buddy." Mia followed suit and hugged him wishing him the best of luck.
Felix gradually walked up at patted Ivan's head, "Give them hell, will you?" Ivan frowned at Felix's actions toward his head, but smiled. Piers smiled, "I know you'll do well Ivan."
Garet then approached him, "Kick ass and take names got it?" Ivan nodded. "And uh... looks like those girls over there will be missin' you too." Garet whispered, and gestured his thumb towards a group of very good-looking girls whom Ivan had danced with. To them, he was the perfect gentleman even though he was only 14. They all giggled and waved. He chuckled nervously and waved back.
"What're you doing Ivan?" Ivan quickly spun around to see a glaring Sheba. He sweat dropped. "Looking at those girls?"
"Just saying good bye." She rose an eye brow. "Really!"
"Alright..." She trailed off looking down at her feet. "Um... well..." She then stared at his violet eyes and kissed him on the cheek.
'What the hell!?' Ivan's mind screamed.
"Good luck, and promise me you'll invite me to your big performance... if you have one." She said the end quietly.
"Don't be such a pessimist." Ivan smiled widely as everyone around him grinned at what had just happened, well... except the giggling group of women, who were now shooting death glares. "And trust me, I'll invite you and everyone when it does happen."
"Promise?"
"Promise." Sheba smiled and kissed him again, but this time on the lips, then she ran off without saying anything. Ivan grinned sheepishly as everyone else smiled widely. Garet punched him lightly in the arm.
"Ivan, you dog you!"
"Now that we're all done with saying good bye, shall we Ivan?" The 15 year old looked to his older sister.
"Yeah, let's go." Hama grabbed his hand. "Bye everybody."
"Good bye Ivan." Everyone murmured sadly. He took a deep breath and raced his mind for a certain psyenergy spell.
"Teleportation!" He yelled loudly, and with that they were both gone.
"Well, time to go home!" Some one yelled. Everyone began leaving except Garet, Mia, Felix, Piers, and Isaac.
"I'm gonna go find Sheba." Jenna said and then she ran off.
"Hey... um... Isaac, I have a question?"
"No, Garet there isn't any more food."
"Hey! Quit being cruel!" Garet yelled. "I just wanted to know what M.A.S.T. stood for."
"Oh... well, it's kinda funny."
"Okay, so what is it?" Piers asked.
"Well, Ivan wasn't too happy about it but... it stands for 'Midgets Are Singers Too.'" It took a moment for it to click into everyone's head.
That night, no one could stop laughing.
-------
"Welcome Sir Ivan, to 'Midgets Are Singers Too.'" One of the teachers greeted. "We are pleased to have you hear as we have heard nothing but good things from a former student."
"Um... can you just call it M.A.S.T.?"
"Surely." He bowed. "Now, please follow me." He sped straight down a hall, and Ivan and Hama followed him quickly. The teacher then turned a corner and stood at a door in which had letter's on it saying 'Principal Office'. He opened the door and shoved Ivan and Hama in, then bowed and sped away.
"This place is giving me the creeps."
"Welcome Ivan!" He looked to the back of the chair. He took a deep breath as it began twirling around, and then took a gasp. He was staring at a very... very... short midget. "Please sit." The two sat quietly trying not to show any sign of their ideas of his height. "Welcome to our college. Now, I need to discuss with you some things."
"I'm ready."
"Very well, now, as we are a college, we aren't taken very seriously by other singing colleges."
'Maybe it's because of the name?' Ivan thought to himself, stifling his laughter.
'I agree.' His sister's mind spoke to him.
"We need something new to prove that we're just as good as everyone else... but so far, we haven't had any luck." The principal sighed. "The fact is that the music we know is too slow and too quiet."
"So, you're asking for something fast and loud?"
"Exactly, that's exactly what we're looking for!"
'Is he just doing this on purpose or is he really that stupid?' Hama thought quietly.
Ivan crossed his leg and pondered for a while. He then pounded his left palm with his fist. "I got it! I know what we'll do."
"Alright, what's that?"
"Let me sing! I know I can think of new instruments, let alone a new genre of music!"
"I see, but Ivan! I haven't even heard you sing!"
"Then let me show you." He stood up and took a deep breath. 'Okay... calm down, you can do this...'
"There's every good reason, for letting you go, she's sneaky and smoke-down, and it's starting to show, I never let you go, I never let you go, I never let you go, I never let you turn around your back on each other, what a good idea break a promise to your mother, turn around your back on each other..."
Ivan smiled at the shocked looks on the principal's and his sister's faces.
"You said that I changed, well maybe I did, even if I changed, what's wrong with it? I never let you, I never let you go, I never let you go, I never let you turn around your back on each other, that's a good idea break a promise to your mother, turn your back on each other, and all my friends are gone and gone, and all the time was wrong and wrong, and all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong, and all I know is it's wrong, it's wrong..."
He knew that he had to sing softer to give a different mood.
"If there's a reason, it's lost on me.... maybe we'll be friends, I guess we'll see..." He took a huge breath and coughed.
"Well, how's that?"
"Ivan..." The principal trailed off as he stood from his chair. His face only a few centimeters higher then the desk itself. "I want you to sing for our college."
"Thank you, I will do my best." He and his sister began to leave.
"And Ivan?"
"Yes?"
"Do hurry and find those new instruments, will you?"
"Yes sir."
-------
Bang, bang.
"Huh...?" Garet rubbed his eyes. 'Aw, c'mon... Ivan was gone and I thought I'd get one night of decent sleep!' He looked to his window, which was where the noise was coming from. He opened it up and got hit with a huge rock. "OW! MOTHER-!"
"Garet!" A girl cried. "Be quiet!" He rubbed his eyes of the little water that was coming out and adjusted to see a girl with auburn hair standing, looking straight at him with a worried face. "You're such an idiot."
"Look who's talking! You hit me with a rock!" He whispered.
"It was an accident." She whispered back. "Now, can you come down here?" Garet hesitated and sighed and then climbed out of his window.
-------
"So is Sheba okay now?"
"Yeah, she's fine... just a bit depressed."
"It sucks when the one you love leaves you for a while..." Garet trailed off. He mentally laughed. 'Sorta what happened to me, but here I am speaking to her...'
"Hey, Garet... have you ever thought of finding... the one?" Jenna asked.
Garet wasn't sure what she meant so he asked her what she meant, "I mean, the one you love and wanna be with."
"I... well... I think I have." Jenna giggled and sat closely next to him.
"Who is it?" Garet couldn't tell her, he didn't have the courage... or did he? Whatever, he had to change the subject.
"Woah... look at the moon! It's... so beautiful." Garet stared at the moon but that wasn't going to stop her. She soon tackled him and held him to the ground.
"Tell me!" She began tickling him mercilessly until he couldn't breath.
"Okay... okay... I give...get off." She did so and Garet took a deep breath. 'Now, or never...' "Alright... it's a girl, and she's very beautiful."
"Uh huh..."
"She's got auburn hair, quite a temper at times, kind though at other times, and in my eyes, has no other person that could ever be equal to her." Jenna gapped her mouth a bit open. She was shocked... did he mean...
'Me?'
"Okay... but... who's that...?" In some part of her body, she wished it was her... but she wasn't that sure of it. Unfortunate... 'Or is it fortunate...?' to her, Garet leaned closer.
"Jenna... it's... you...that... I love..." 'Oh God, he said it... he said it, what do I do!?' Her mind screamed. He was going to kiss her, and that was a fact. Whether she was ready or not... wasn't.
"I... I can't!" She got up and ran as quick as she could. "I'm so sorry Garet!" She disappeared into the darkness.
"Jenna...?"
---------
Black: Wow... I think I just raised hell. (Okay, all those who are Jenna and Garet fans... don't kill me! You'll like the story in the long run!) Anyways, Ladies and Gents, I am happy to announce (k... maybe not exactly happy) that there will be two sequels to this story. This is how the shippings of the stories are supposed to be focused on.
Misfits – Jupitershipping... or whatever ShebaxIvan is.
Soon to be named – Flameshipping... or whatever JennaxGaret is.
To be named – Mudshipping... or whatever MiaxIsaac is. (Which this one I am dieing to write...)
I think it'll be a good idea, but as you know, the flameshipper one will probably be a one-shot as I am so antsy to write about Mudshipping!
Now, thanks to the reviewers!
Sunrunner – I'm so glad you love the story, I tried the scene changy thing this time, did it work good for you?
Lord Cynic – My, it's an honor for you to review my story Cynic. Yes, I thought this would be a one shot too... but, I couldn't, I had to write more... and now there's sequels! That sucks right?
Punk Ikhny Towryk – God, I remember trying to say that... thank you soooo much for reviewing my story! It meant so much to me! I'm glad you're enjoyed (or knowing you enjoyed the story and never gonna read it again unless I beg you).
Lerenzo47 – As Cynic, you thought this is a one shot, well join the club! We've got coffee mugs! (do not ask, I'm hyper at the moment) Mia and Isaac are my fav. Couple too!
JX697 – Hopefully there's a way to see the scene changy thingy! Enjoy!
Princess Viv – It's finally out! Didcha like it? Looks like everyone was wrong about M.A.S.T.. Update your story soon!
So everybody, R&R!
