I AM SOOOO HAPPY!!! PEOPLE REVIEWED!!!!!! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU (& ect)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Annnnnnnyyyywaaaay, now to continue on with the story! Just warning you now, I have noooo clue when this will end. It might even end this chapter- that's just to show how drunk my muse is on 'tea' right now, hehe, 'tea' isn't really tea ya know. . . . . . . . . . STOP STARING AT ME AND JUST READ THE FANFIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Oh dear Rased. . .

You realize you have never been exactly kind to that knight girl, but it wasn't torture or anything! At least not enough to deserve this. . . this, this. . . piece-of-cloth-which-cannot-even-be-called-a-swimsuit.

You hear Raenef and the others calling for you to hurry up, so with the heaviest heart you have had since Lord Raenef the IV died, you slowly put 'it' on.

------------------------------

You notice the eager express on Erutis's face as you walk out of the stall. You WILL find a way to make her pay, either through a date with Krayon or even. . . . . never mind, a date with Krayon would be sufficient. Quite.

Raenef finally wipes the possessed smile off your face by asking the dreaded question. . .

"Can I see your bathing suit Eclipse?"

Alas, it was bound to happen at one point or another. However, you had hoped you could have kept your towel wrapped around your waist until it was nightfall. Crusader dung. (A/N: see below)

"Lord Raenef? I would prefer not to if it is at all possible."

Erutis at this point decides to take her daring to the next level. You decide she thinks you are either getting soft from Raenef's influence or she has already been to the margarita stand.

"Awwww, I really wanted to see you in your swimsuit Eclipse! Pllllllleeeeeeaaaaassssseeeee let me see!!!"

". . . no . . ."

"Raenef! Don't you wanna see Eclipse in his cute little outfit too?!"

Raenef unfortunately, has discovered at the moment he is immune to your stares of doom as long as he doesn't look at your eyes. WHY DOES HE HAVE TO REALIZE IT NOW?!?!

"Ahem. I, Raenef the Fifth doth hearby order my loyal servant and tutor Eclipse to remove his towel from his waist at once. WOW! I sounded so cool just now! Thanks for the for the cue cards Chris!"

"No prob!"

Great. Now you have another victim to add to your hit list. Well at least you'll be on good terms with any serious Rased follower. But as to the more impending situation. . . . .

"Lord Raenef, are you absolutely SURE you wish to command that? I will not be held responsible for any 'accidents' that may befall the knight if you do. . ."

But it's too late, you can tell he has already made up his mind by the childish (and sexy! Grrr!) pout on his face.

"YES. Take off the towel NOW Eclipse. . . . please."

Damn.

"Very well Master Raenef."

And off goes your last shred of pride and demonishness.

Now for the expressions that you see on your companions' faces:

Chris has fallen over twitching and will most likely be scarred for life. Serves him right.

Erutis is doing a happy little jig and leering away.

Raenef is smiling pleasantly, with no idea how humiliating this is for you.

You keep a steady death glare upon Erutis- just in case she was thinking of making a comment about her 'outfit' for you. Hopefully she's not that suicidal, that would take all the challenge out of it. . .

Unfortunately, the only person you actually would NOT like to mortally wound at the moment (duh: Raenef) decides to comment for Erutis. . .

"Wow Eclipse! I didn't know thongs could be leopard print! It's really really pretty!!!!"

". . ." Maybe not the best compliment in the world, but hey- at least he wasn't openly mocking you. Oh well, time to make the best of this. . .

"Well?"

"Well what?"

"If I am to be forced to show my. . . 'swimsuit', would it not be appropriate for everyone to show theirs as well?"

"Oh yeah! Sorry Eclipse!"

The trio remove themselves from their own towels to show their own outfits- luckily for them, not chosen by Erutis.

Erutis was being her usual conceited self by wearing a sparkly green bikini, which needless to say was more than a little loose around the chest.

Chris was wearing a pair of orange trunks and a surfing necklace around his neck. Surprisingly enough, he almost seemed 'cool' in that outfit. However you know all too well that image will be gone as soon as he opens his mouth.

Raenef on the other hand. . .

Raenef, well Raenef was looking like he was ASKING for someone to just go over and leap on him! He had taken his hair out of its customary ponytail and just seeing the sunlight catch on his blonde hair (A/N: yes- BLONDE hair! For some reason he just acts like a blonde to me. But don't hurt me! I am a blondie as well- no blonde jokes here!!!!) was enough to make you shiver. To make matters worse- or better, depending on how you looked at it- was his swimsuit. He was wearing a bright blue bodysuit that was just a bit too small, so it fit on his hips very VERY nicely. Oh damn. . . this is not good. . . not good at all. . . . . .

It seems Raenef senses your unease, because he almost instantly starts moving closer to you...

"Eclipse? Are you alright? You seem kinda red. . . do you have a fever?"

Ohno ohno ohno. . . . . he CANNOT come any closer to you, at least not now, not here, and definitely, definitely NOT wearing that bathing suit- which, come to think of it, displays his body verrrrrrrry nicely. . . . . . damn it all, he is going to notice. How could he NOT notice?!?! Thanks to Erutis you're only wearing a THONG!!!!!

Fortunately however, Raenef has turned his attention away from your little 'problem' to the more pressing matter of sandcastles. Praise Rased for his short-attention span.

Now to get some well deserved rest while protecting your lovely ivory skin under an umbrella.

------------------------------

Your eyes flutter open ever so slightly to take in a miraculous sunset. Hmm... who would've thought that this vacation could have turned out this nicely?

You're about to go back to your dreams of roasting Erutis and Chris over an open flame when you hear a faint cry. Interestingly enough, it sounds just a little like...

"LORD RAENEF!!!"

You jump out from under the umbrella to see just what is going on. Apparently Erutis and Chris took off somewhere and left Raenef alone swimming. Not a good idea.

You can just barely make out your Lord's outline in the dim sunlight near a pier with several dorsal fins following him. ....Dorsal fins? Dolphins or.... SHARKS!!!!!

You take a running start towards the sea with a death drill ready for those damned sharks if they even think about taking a bite out of your Raenef! However, just as you reach the shoreline, someone dives off the pier next to Raenef.

"Well, well, well. I suppose I'll have to take back what I said about humans being completely useless..."

By the time you get down closer to where Raenef was, the mysterious stranger had already carried Raenef to the shore.

You arrive in time just as Raenef regains conciousness and his rescuer gives a big cheesy smile while saying to your master, "Hello there. My name is David Hasselhoff. And what might yours be, young lady?"

KABOOM!

"Uh, uh, E-E-Eclipse?"

"Don't worry Master Raenef. He won't be bothering you anymore." Or anyone else for that matter.

------------------------------

About a half-hour later, Erutis and Chris finally reappear covered from head to toe in tacky souvenirs holding at least 4 corndogs each. Ooh, are they going to get it... But of course patience is the key. Chris will be feeding the crusaders for the next few months and if he's lucky, the crusaders won't take any limbs. Erutis on the other hand... well, Krayon is always just a telepathic message away... Hehe.

Before you can plot anymore you feel a gentle tug on your arm. You look over and see Raenef practically nodding off. Time to go home before the authorities discover that blackened corpse on the beach. Hopefully next time Raenef will want to go bowling or something a little less dangerous...

THE END

FYI: I have nooooo clue whatsoever what kind of curses they have in the DD universe, so I decided to come up with my own alternative to 'shit'!
