A/N: I apologize for making you wait. I won't bore you with excuses and the irritating details of my life. I do enough of that in my reviews. ~_~ I collected plenty of ideas during my absence, and I hope to pump out two chaps a week until I run low. Be on the lookout for updates in my other work as well.

This chapter is sort of a stream of thoughts going through Meryl's head throughout the anime series. I borrowed several lines from the dub version that I thought got across what happened and what she was feeling during each episode, and I filled in the blanks. There are 26 pairs of lines; two for each episode, and, of course, their all in order. I have four more of these coming. Meryl is first because she was the easiest for me. The rating has changed because of the occasional swear word. Please enjoy! ^__^ ~NB~

~*Meryl Thoughts*~

We found him Milly. Let's go. Uh oh! Run! Who are you? Gimme those back, and go warn the town!

He saved us... Wait! Milly, he can't be... That screwy guy just can't be Vash!

~*~

That broom-headed, donut hogging, letchering idiot just can't possibly be him! That faker!

He thinks I'm scary?! He hasn't seen scary! What do you mean you'll show me? Show me what?

~*~

Did I mention he's a horrible drunk? Milly, there's just no way it's him. We're looking for a dangerous man.

It's incredible how he can get out of bad situations, but it just has to be luck. I'm not worried about him Milly!

~*~

What are you doing here? You're in Hell?! We're the ones in Hell idiot! Leave that girl alone pervert!

Why doesn't he use his gun? I'm finding it hard to believe he actually could have a serious side.

~*~

Man, what's wrong with this town? I think we found him Milly, but wait...that's who...that's impossible!!!

I see now...why he is called the Humanoid Typhoon. It's him...Vash the - all right, what the hell is he doing?!

~*~

Watch out! He's Vash the Stampede! The man with 60,000,000,000 $$ on his head! If you get hurt, don't expect your insurance to - I'm not bitchy!!!

He saved us... I can't go to him Milly. He'd rather be with that woman.

~*~

I'll never understand him. He goes out of his way to save people who'd rather see him dead.

He ditched us?! Damn! We don't have enough money for that sand steamer! He's not getting away!

~*~

Bandits?! Argh!!! I'd hate to admit it Milly, but Vash is the only one who can help us.

I had to go undercover. I couldn't let him get - Oh no! He's hurt! How? That Idiot!

~*~

Don't you dare cause anymore trouble Vash! The bus stopped. Where did that priest come from?

Man, he's as bad as Vash, but we couldn't let them go out there with those machines alone.

~*~

Doesn't he ever do any work?! He's just like a child, and that priest is no better. Hey! Stop that Milly!

I knew Wolfwood wasn't a normal priest. I wonder what kind of work he really does.

~*~

What are you trying to pull now Vash? I can't believe you accept that... You're nothing more than a despicable outlaw.

You could have told me earlier, or I wouldn't have pulled my gun on you.

~*~

Something's wrong with him Milly. He didn't do it.

That man... He wasn't after the bounty on his head. Vash almost killed him.

~*~

There's something about him that we can't even begin to understand...or just he's just plain weird.

Those scars... They're the price you pay for not killing Vash? I won't run away, but why do keep living like this?

~*~

No way Vash! Go back. I'll handle it. Who said anything about him being my boyfriend Milly?!

Wow! I can't believe I just did that! You're right Milly. Family is important.

~*~

What's going on? Who's that woman? Vash!!! What did you do to her!!!

Tell me what's going on? Why do you want me to leave? It's not just my job... I'm worried.

~*~

We've got to find him Milly. Walk your own path... We'll follow him to the ends of the earth!

Where is he? What's that light?! Let me go Milly! Let me go to him! I can't believe it... He's gone.

~*~

Oh Vash...

I wish I could understand.

~*~

I wonder where he is now. I can't stop dreaming about that day...the hole in the fifth moon.

It's funny. Despite his horrible reputation, he turned out to be just a regular guy.

~*~

He's alive? No I'm not happy Milly! That bum! Let's go. Didn't the satellite say where he's going?

Thank goodness he's okay. Wolfwood is right. You're luck won't hold out forever Vash.

~*~

Damn! He ditched us again! Vash didn't turn into a cat Milly! What is he up to now!

I know it's dangerous, but that part of our job! Damn that typhoon! Aaaaah!!!

~*~

Finally it stopped! Is that a ship? It looks like it's falling. Let's go Milly.

Oh my God... Those people were like family to you, weren't they Vash? I'm so sorry...

~*~

I need to ask you something - Did you just say my name? Never mind. We need to help those kids.

I wish we could always be together like this. I just know it won't last. Wolfwood!!! How could you do that!!!

~*~

We're here. What's causing the disappearances? Why do you have to look so sad? It's not your fault Vash.

Where are you Milly? Wolfwood? What happened Vash? Oh God... Milly...

~*~

Why did Wolfwood have to die Vash? Please give me a straight answer for once! Who's Knives?

Vash... No time for brooding Meryl! Please don't hurt me! Vash, what are you... No! Vash!!!

~*~

Do you remember anything? I forgot I need to be somewhere! Vash... Please stay as long as you like.

Stop it! You're hurting him! You can't take his life! Everyone deserves a future! You're leaving aren't you Vash...?

~*~

I couldn't tell him Milly. I didn't say anything. Vash, I couldn't tell you...that I'm in love with you.

He's gonna come back Milly. I just know it. He won't keep a good woman like me waiting!

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

A/N: Whatdcha think? If you don't remember what happened in the series, it might have been a little confusing what Meryl was talking about in some places. Should I keep doing these? This one's nowhere near as easy as it looks. I'll do one a week if you liked it. *Nyao* =O.O= Kuroneko-sama says 'Please review'! (Nice kitty!) ~NB~
