It was a beautiful day without a single cloud in the sky. Many people had no cares on days like this. However one girl was suffering heavily in a garden. Her name was Cesia. The garden was in a certain Dragon palace in Dusis and two boys named Rath and Bierrez were fighting over Cesia…

"WHAT DO YOU THINK THAT YOU ARE DOING?!?" Rath yelled at Bierrez.

"I'm going to ask Cesia out." Bierrez promptly replied.

"OH NO YOU'RE NOT!!!"

"YOU CAN'T STOP ME!!!"

"JUST WATCH ME!!!"

"Guys there's really no reason to fight like this—" Cesia began.

"WHO ASKED YOU?!?" They replied in unison.

Cesia started twitching uncontrollably. "WHAT DO YOU MEAN WHO ASKED ME!!! YOU GUYS ARE FIGHTING OVER ME AND I'M SICK OF IT. RATH STOP BEING SO CONTROLLING OVER ME AND FOR THE MILLIONTH TIME BIERREZ I AM NOT GOING OUT WITH YOU!!! SO FOR THE LOVE OF GOD LEAVE ME ALONE SO I CAN RELAX!!! I AM SICK OF THE BOTH OF YOU! AT THIS RATE I WILL NEVER DATE EITHER OF YOU!!!"

"Don't be so sure of that honey" A singsong voice rang out.

"What do you mean?" All three of them asked.

Suddenly Lady Raseleane popped up. "Well I was bored so I decided to come up with a game for who will own your heart."

"What in the world are you talking about? You can't decide who will own my heart without my say in it and most certainly not through a game." Cesia replied.

"That, my dear, is where you are wrong. Haven't you ever seen reality television before?" Bierrez said to Cesia.

"No I haven't and don't you dare call me dear again." Cesia replied very agitatedly.

"And here's the host of the game show now Kitchel!!!" lady Raseleane said completely ignoring everybody.

"Hello and welcome to the game show The Trials of Love. Let me explain the rules of the game." Kitchel said with a cheerful grin. "There will be three parts. The first part is the following: Cesia will go out on a date with both Rath and Bierrez. Not, of course on the same night. Cesia will then score their dates out of 20 points. 20 being high and 0 being low. The next part will be a series of questions that both suitors will answer, there are a possible 3 points per question and there will be 10 questions give or take a few. The third part is a complete surprise because I get to come up with it and it will shock you all. The number of points in the third round has not yet been determined. The suitor with the most points wins the game and Cesia's heart. Any questions?"

"This is the dumbest thing I have ever heard of" Rath commented. "How in the world will participating in this game win Cesia's heart?"

"I utterly agree with you Rath which is why I can not approve of this game." Cesia said approvingly.

"You mean that if I participate in this game I get to go on a date with Cesia?!?" Bierrez quipped.

"Yes, that is absolutely correct. Cesia will go on a date with the both of you and score you by the amount of fun she had on the date." Kitchel answered.

"YAHOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I FINALLY GET TO GO ON A DATE WITH Cesia!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Bierrez shouted.

Rath and Cesia stopped him in his tracks with the evil eye. "I'm not so sure I approve of this game either Cesia." Rath said to her.

Cesia sighed, "There seems to be no way to get out of this. It seems we're stuck participating in this silly game."

"Thank you and with that may The Trials of Love begin!!!" Kitchel said with a flourish.

"The first part is what you do on a date. Bierrez will go first."

"What!!!" the three contestants exclaimed.

"Being as she seems to like Bierrez the least it makes sense that she date him first to get it over with." Kitchel explained impatiently.

"I get to date Cesia first. I get to date Cesia first." Bierrez gloated at Rath.

*Clang* *Thonk* *Clong* Rath whistled innocently while Bierrez slumped to the floor. You can see a sword being held behind Rath's back.

"Eh, heh, heh, heh" Kitchel lost her enthusiasm altogether. "Well, I won't be around until part two so bye!!! Tonight Bierrez will date Cesia and tomorrow Rath will go on a date with her as well."
