It was a dark and stormy night... Thunder rolled across the sky, chasing after the bright streak of li—What? Oh... oops. Sorry.

It was a bright and sunny day... Liz ran through the mall, chasing after the irritated Russian blader known far and wide as Tala.

"COME ON! IT'S JUST A MARSHMALLOW!!"

"No."

"PLEASE?"

"No."

"PLLLLEEEEEAAAASSEE??"

"NO!"

"Meanie." Liz grumbled, skulking while still managing to keep up with his long strides. Tala muttered under his breath something about annoying female lunatics. Liz just grinned happily.

"Ya know what?"

"No..."

"YOU'RE PREEEEETY!"

Tala stopped and stared at her for a moment before shaking his head and moving on. Liz giggled and glomped him, knocking him to the ground.

"Are you DRUNK or something?" Tala demanded, pushing her off him.

"You need chocolate triangle like Kai."

"No I don't."

"How about chocolate tiger stripes all over the rest of your body?" Liz suggested innocently. Tala openly stared at her for a moment before taking off running as fast as possible away from the lunatic girl...

He didn't get too far before running into a...er...person. A person with long blue hair, a dress, high-heels. Specifically, a person of the male gender with long blue hair, a dress, and high-heels.

"TACO!" Liz cried before glomping him. "HIYAZ!"

Taco, also known more widely as Tyson, was stunned for a moment. Liz finally let go and returned to hanging off Tala.

"Hi... Liz... Tala?"

"Tyson??" Tala's eyes were wide in horror.

"Yeah! Ya like?" Tyson asked, striking a pose. Tala's jaw dropped in absolute terror before he took off, dragging Liz away as quickly as possible.

"Hey! Taco only asked if he was pretty!"

"That's what scares me... Why did you come along?"

"'Cos you dragged me."

Tala looked at his hand, which was clasped around her wrist. He shook his head and dropped it.

"Lunatic girl..." Tala muttered, glaring at her. Liz just giggled and held out a marshmallow.

"Want one?" She asked sweetly.

Tala sighed. "I can't win this one, can I?"

"Nope!"

Tala sighed again. "Fine... I'll take one."

"YAY!!!" Liz cried, handing him a marshmallow and jumping up and down gleefully. Tala put in his mouth and went to swallow it but stopped when he nearly gagged. He spit it out into a trashcan nearby.

"WHAT THE HELL WAS THAT?!" He demanded. Liz giggled, holding up another mini-marshmallow.

"I dipped them in vinegar!" Liz proclaimed proudly. Tala gaped at her again. Finally he shook his head.

"Want another one?" Liz asked sweetly. Tala stared for a moment before shaking his head. "Aww..." Liz said as she popped it into her mouth. Tala turned and began to walk away, but he was stopped by Liz glomping him again.

"TALLY-CHAN!!"

"What NOW?"

"I WANNA RIDE THE QUARTER-HORSE!"

"There are no quarter horses in the mall."

"YES THERE IS!" Liz cried, pointing to the little horse kiddy ride. Tala rolled his eyes.

"No." He said, dragging Liz away from the rides. "If you're going to hang around me you had better not embarrass me..."

"Oh don't get all discombobulated."

"Discombobulated?"

"Aye! Discombobulated. Which, by the way, is in fact a real word. Spell check didn't catch it!"

"Spell check?"

"Yeah! The authoress just spent the last five minutes cheering because it was a real word."

"...I see..." Tala said, looking at the ceiling. There was an ominous giggle that seemed to echo through out the mall from out of nowhere. Tala shivered. He didn't like the sound of that giggle...
