Shadow Angel: Ok, review replies!

Review replies:

K-Gforever: Sorry to say this, but Jaffar won't make an appearance. Sorry...But...At least you have some KentxSain and RavenxLucius to keep ya busy. x3

Dark-Soul78: Thanks!

Psycho Sword Lady: Wow, that would be going too far...I should rename my evilish Umbreon. Karel. xD I wouldn't think it work much either, but...I needed some kind of plot. o.o; And PentxErk...Don't think I'll be able to put that. Sorry, but I stink at PentxSome girl. But I can try to put something else, if you want. Just can't do Pent pairings...

End review replies.

Shadow Angel: Also some implied HarkenxIsadora and PentxLouise, in this chappy. Oh yeah, and the PentxLucius bit...I don't know HOW I can stick that into the plot, so no PentxLucius. Also...:pokes PSL's reply: Another reason why on there. But I'm sure about the OS SerraxLucius, RavenxLucius (duh, it's the main pairing!), and...everything else. x3

Cloud: R&R or I'll have my fellow puffs attack you. Trust me, we bite. Oo;


"EEEEEEEEE!"

Lucius cringed and slowly turned her head, only to find the pink-haired bishop of the group smiling at her. Serra...

"...Did I ever mention you looked so CUTE in drag?"

Lucius blushed and converted her gaze towards the dark aqua blue dress she was wearing. "...Serra...Please-" She cut her off with a giggle.

"Y'know, I just wanted to go out with you sometime, y'know...Maybe tonight?"

Lucius's eyes were brimming with unshed tears of guilt.

"...Lucius?"

Lucius sighed shakily and turned around, causing the fellow bishop to gasp.

"...EEEEE!" She hugged her and Lucius let out a tiny 'eep!' "You look SOOO CUTE!"

Lucius gulped. "Have you even no-"

"Yeah, I know. Must've been Erky's spell. It'll wear off after you find true love, as Erky told me." She batted her eyelashes.

The blond bishop's face was bright red, at this point. "...Oh, Serra..." She frowned. "Like this, I won't be able to go out with you tonight. I'm...sorry..."

Serra smirked. "Of course you can! We can just...oh how do they say it...'Hang out?'" Lucius blinked. "...Y'know, do girl stuff..."

Lucius stared blankly, deep in thought. She finally sighed. "...Alright then-"

"YAY!" She hugged her tighter. "OohwhatdoIhavetolose? I've gotta invite Nino and Karla and Lyn and Rebecca and Isadora and-"

"Just invite...whoever you can."

"YAY!" She skipped merrily to Lyn's tent, leaving the bishop with a frown on her face.

"...And...what if I can never turn back...?"

(O.o)

In the end, Serra had invited Lyn, Rebecca, Priscilla, Florina, Fiora, Mya (the tactician) and Nino. Farina refused to come without getting payed. Isadora was going out with Harken the same night, so she couldn't go. Karla couldn't come because she was scheduled with a duel with Karel the same night. Louise couldn't go because Pent refused to let her go without him. Ninian didn't go because she was afraid to go without Eliwood or Nils. And Vaida didn't go because...well, she's Vaida, and Vaida never goes out. So there.

(xox)

"But Raven, there are DANGEROUS things out there! Like ponies and rabbits and fields of flowers-"

"I don't care. I'm going to make sure Lucius and Priscilla are safe."

"But I wouldn't-"

"I said I DON'T CARE!"

"But the PONI-"

"SHUT UP BEFORE I CUT YOUR HEAD OFF, YOU STUPID MAGE!"

Erk gaped and watched Raven stomp angrily out of the tent. "..."

(-.-) Zzzzz...

Lucius blushed and took the piece of swimwear in her hands. "...Sister Serra, what is-"

Serra smirked. "It's what we call a bikini."

Lucius blushed madly. "Oh, what would Lord Raymond do?" She looked frantically around the room.

"I would probably walk up to you and-"

"Hmm?"

Raven ducked behind the tree. Big mouth...

Lucius frowned and sighed. "Probably just...the wind..."

Serra smiled. "Just put the thing on and let's hope in with the others!" She pointed at the nearby lake, a waterfall running beside it. The other girls were sitting in there, gossiping and relaxing.

"But...where do I-"

"Behind that tree." She pointed at the tree where Raven was hiding, causing the mercenary to mutter colorful curses under his breath.

"Alright...then..." She ran behind the tree, giving Raven only a little time to get up and run. But trying to do so, he bumped into the blonde.

"Lord Raymond?"

Raven blushed madly and took a step back. Caught. He coughed and stared at her. "What a coincidence. I was coming here to get firewood and-"

"Then how come you we're hiding?" Lucius pouted, her hands on her hips.

"..." He said not a word.

Lucius giggled and hugged Raven tightly, a blush on the merc's face. He merely grabbed her shoulders and pulled her a bit closer.

"Just don't tell anyone I'll be watching. I just want to-"

"Raymond, why didn't you just tell me? You could've just came with us..." Raven shook his head madly.

"Lucius, there is NO way I'm going to-"

"Please?" She clasped her hands together and gave him...The CHIBI EYES OF TEH ULTIMATE DOOM!

"Lucius-"

"PLEASE!" CLING

"Lucius, get off my arm. Now."

"But-"

"Alright, fine, I'll go do the stupid-"

"Here!" Lucius gave him his pair of boxers (black...why'd I put this? Oo; I don't know) and skipped towards another tree.

(A bit later...)

Lucius walked over to the lake, dragging a grumpy Raven along with her. "Look who I invited!"

"EEEE!" glomp "RAVEN!"

"GET OFFA ME!" Raven threw the insane tactician back into the lake. "Much better." Just after he said that, a SPLASH was heard and soon enough, Raven was soaked. "...Lucius..." He growled.

Lucius giggled and pulled him in. "Come now! It's fun!"

"...if you're an idiotic girl..." He muttered.

Mya's eye twitched and she turned to the viridian-haired Sacaen. "So, Milady Lyndis...Anything going on with you and Florina lately? You two seem to be more overprotective with each other during battle..." Florina blushed madly and hid behind her, throughly embarrassed. Lyn sighed.

"Well...What about you? Have you been 'overprotective' with anyone, lately?" Mya blushed. And the conversation went on.

A few more curses were heard, and again they came from Raven. Lucius frowned and swam to the merc.

"Lord Raymond, I see you aren't enjoying this...At all...Is there something wrong?" Raven merely 'hmph!'-ed and pouted.

She had to say, Raven was very handsome when he pouted...

"...You could always leave..."

Raven gazed into Lucius's sapphire blue eyes and noticed the hint of sadness in the woman's eyes. And the unshed tears that Lucius tried to blink back.

"...You could always leave..."

Those four simple words repeated it self like an echo in his mind. An echo that would never leave him alone.

"...Lucius...I-" He was cut short when he felt a warm body lean against his and thin arms wrapped around his waist. "Lucius...!"

She cried into his bare chest, her whole body shaking. "I don't care if...if I stayed like this forever, Raymond...All I want is you..."

"Lucius...Why-...?"

"Raymond, don't you understand my feelings?" She gave him a look that would intimidate even the strongest of men. "Don't you understand that I've wanted to you all my life? That I've wanted you beside me? Raymond, I LOVE YOU!"

Raven's eyes widened in shock. Lucius loved him...

"Lucius...I can't." He gently pushed her back. "If I fall in love with you, you will merely turn back. And it is against your rule to love, anyway."

Tears slid down the bishop's face and she grabbed Raven's shoulders, giving him a disappointed and desperate look. "I don't care..." She sobbed. "I don't care...as long as I'm with you, I'm happy..."

"...Please, Lucius...Please-"

"Ah, fair beauteous ones! Now, what are we doing this fine evening?" Lucius recognized that flirtateous voice.

Sain...
