The day following Issac and Felix's old man provoking, Issac woke to find a dark, rainy day outside. 'Great. Just great.' he thought to himself. What was he supposed to do in the rain? He and Garet's big ol' plans were ruined, or at least postponed.

"Issac, honey, would you come downstairs and help me?" Dora called.

"Where's dad? Why can't he do it?" Issac moaned back.

"Ever since you got back home, you've been pinning all your chores on your father! Give the poor man a break!" Dora said, getting annoyed.

"Fine, fine." Issac said. He had lost this round, but he wouldn't fall to her legions next time! "What exactly is it I'm doing?"

"You're helping me and your dad find a new house." Dora answered.

"Ooh! Where are we living? Can we live in the Apoji Islands? Or Madra? Or..." he was cut off.

"We're living right here in Vault, with the rest of our friends." Dora said plainly.

"FAH!!!" Issac said, picking up a vase and chucking it out the window.

"OW!" said a voice from outside.

"Whoopsies. Gotta run!" Issac said, bolting into his room. Dora ran to the window to see if the man who was struck by Issac's moment of rage was alright.

"Are you alright?" Dora asked the man. It was Petey, the postman.

"Oh, I'm fine. I must say though, you really need some anger management classes." Petey replied.

"WHAT?!" Dora screamed. "Uh, I mean... It was my son, Issac who threw that vase."

"Oh. Anyway, I have today's mail for you." Petey said.

"Bring it up!" Dora said back.

"NO, I'M AFRAID I CAN'T!" Issac yelled to seemingly no one.

"DARN!" came a voice from seemingly no where.

"I KNOW! IT REALLY SUCKS!" Issac screamed.

"Issac! Who are you talking to? And why must you talk so loud?" Dora asked, walking by and noticing that her son was screaming to no one.

"I'm talking to Garet!" Issac said.

"Where is he?" Dora asked, peering into Issac's room.

"He's in his hotel room! It's right next to ours, so we can talk through the walls!" Issac said, as if it was something everybody did regularly.

"If you want to talk to Garet, go over to his room and talk like CIVIL HUMAN BEINGS!!!" Dora said, her face turning red with anger.

"Fine, fine." Issac said. "HEY GARET! I'M COMING OVER THERE!!!"

*** *** *** ***

Issac knocked on the door of Garet and his family's hotel room. Garet's mother answered.

"Oh, hi Issac. Good to see you." Mrs. Jerra said with a smile on her face. "Garet's in his room."

"Thank you." Issac said politely.

"Yo! Garet!" Issac called, seeing Garet laying on his bed reading something.

"Oh, hi Issac." Garet said.

"Whatcha reading?" Issac inquired.

"It's a letter from Piers!" Garet said happily.

"WHAT!?" Issac remarked loudly. Piers hadn't sent HIM a letter since they ended their quest!

"Yeah! Isn't it great?" Garet asked, not noticing that Issac's fists were clenched so tight that his gloves were ripping.

"THAT TRAITOROUS LITTLE PILE OF TWO-TIMING PUKE!! I'M GONNA GO OVER THERE AND SHOVE MY FOOT INTO HIS FRICKIN' MOUTH!!!" Issac screamed.

"Whoa. Talk about holding a grudge." said Garet's older sister Kay.

"Get outta here!" Garet said. "Wanna read my letter, Issac?" Issac took a deep breath.

"Okay." he said. Garet handed him the letter. It read...

Dear Garet,

So, how's life in Vault? Have you decided where you're going to move to yet? When you do, I want to know! Another thing I want to know is where my boots went. Didn't I lend them to you? I haven't seen them since...

Anyway, Everybody here wants to thank you for what you've done, even if I did it too. That fact seems to have escaped them. Stupid unloyal little freaks...

So, how's everyone over there doing? Has Felix started talking yet? Has Jenna stopped talking yet? And what about Issac? How's he? I want to know!

You should come and visit me sometime. It's kinda boring here. I've been resorting to pranks to pass the time. But, since I blew up someone's house by accadent, I'm not the most popular guy on the island.

From Lemuria with Love, Piers

Issac finished reading the letter, and gave it back to Garet. He managed to hold in a couple swear words, but he couldn't hold in what he thought.

"THAT FRICKIN' SAILORBOY!! HE'S GONNA GET IT!! WHY WOULDN'T HE SEND ME A LETTER?! WHAT THE HECK'S WRONG WITH HIM!? IS HE MENTAL?! STUPID?! OR IS HE JUST A JERK!! GAHHHH!!!!" Issac screamed at the ceiling. He then picked up a chair, threw it through the window, and with a mighty leap, he was in the air. Flying towards the now broken window, swear words being shot off at unimaginable speeds. He landed on the ground, and began to run. He ran past the store, the sanctum, and Jenna's house.

"Run, Issac, Run!" she called after him. And run he did.

Mr. Jupiter: Well well well. It would seem that you liked it. That makes me so happy... I notice some of you are still thinking about GS Reality. Well, I myself am not going to restart it, and I've all ready given someone else the authority to have a crack at it. I'm not gonna say who, but I trust them to do as good a job as I tried to do. That is, until I gave up on it. I'm as sad as all that it's gone, but this story's gonna be HOPEFULLY as good.

On a different note, I am announcing a contest. Each chapter's name shall be a spin-off of the name of something else. For example, Chapter 1 was called "Crouching Issac, Ticked Off Kraden." If you can name which Movie, Game, or TV Show the title is based on, you just might win a little cameo in the story. The contest won't be on every chapter, but it IS on this one. Which Movie, Game, or TV Show is the title from? Answer with speed, and you just might win!

~*~*~*~* Contest Hint: Bond, James Bond
