Chapter 2 - Mia and Isaac: Vale's Cupids

Jenna was still fuming after Garet and Felix's prank, and she stomped along in front. Mia and Sheba trailed silently behind her, a safe distance away in case Jenna unleashed her anger on them.

Luckily, Jenna refrained from making violent outbursts, but she muttered non-stop to herself.

"Stupid Garet... stupid Felix... trying to mess with my head... if I ever get my hands on them..."

"Er... Jenna?" Mia asked timidly.

"What?!" Jenna growled, spinning around to glare at Mia. Mia shrank under Jenna's fury.

"Erm... w-where are we going?" she stammered nervously.

Jenna continued to glare at Mia for a few seconds, then she turned back around and resumed her walking. "We're going to see Kraden."

"... why?" Mia and Sheba chorused, as they followed her again. Jenna ignored their panic-stricken tones.

"I have a favour to ask of him," she said, detouring around the markets to the trail leading to Kraden's cottage. However, as Mia and Sheba glanced at each other fretfully, Jenna smirked. She smirked an evil smirk. She smirked an evil smirk of sinister malevolence. She smirked an evil... well, you get the idea.

@

"The Siren's song has been known to bewitch unweary warriors... if they are caught under its spell, they are doomed to a terrible fate..."

As the monotonous voice droned on endlessly, Kraden busily scribbled down notes.

"And now, the anatomy of a Pixie..."

"Yay!" Kraden cheered enthusiastically, and his eyes became glued to the TV screen. He had to pry them away with a spatula before being able to continue watching - don't ask how he managed to get one. He's... Kraden.

"First, the head. It is said that -"

Knock, knock!

"Dang... blasted!" Kraden cursed, and he hastily changed the channel before opening the door to find Jenna, Sheba and Mia waiting. "Oh, hello, girls. Um, care for a cup of tea?"

"Not now," Jenna said hurriedly, brushing past him to the wardrobe as the TV started to sing a tune.

"... as one ("Digimon!")... together our battles are won ("Digimon!")..."

Sheba and Mia raised an eyebrow as Kraden laughed nervously.

"Care to explain?" Sheba asked.

"Well, um," Kraden stammered, trying to think of an excuse. "Well... I heard, er, that there was a science - yeah, that it's - to Digimon... Digi-volving, I think that call it... yeah, Digi-volving... I'm studying that..."

"Whatever..." Sheba yawned, shaking her head. Guessing he was off the hook, Kraden scurried off into the kitchen to make tea while Mia strolled over to the wardrobe where Jenna was apparently searching for something.

"What are you looking for?" Mia asked, as Jenna untidily threw out several outfits.

"Something white - Bingo!"

Jenna unhooked a white robe from the back of the wardrobe.

"Um... what's that for?" Mia asked.

"You'll see..." Jenna smirked her evil smirk again and the two of them walked back to Sheba.

"Are we going now?" Sheba asked impatiently. Jenna nodded. "At last! This funky smell's messing up my senses."

"What?" Russell from Stickin' Around asked (I think that's him).

"We didn't ask you," Jenna said irritated, and she shot Russell out of a cannon and out of the fanfic.

"Let's go, Drama Queen," Jenna said, turning and walking towards the door. But as they left and the door closed, Kraden returned with the tea.

"Thirsty, girls? I've... huh?"

He stared around at the heap of discarded robes and tuxedos on the floor {"Well, it's not like he uses them..."}. Choosing not to try and understand what happened, he set the tea on a table and went back to watching TV.

"... area scanned! Battlefield set up! Ready, fight!"

Kraden stared at the screen for a few seconds, then settled into his armchair.

@

"What's the rush?" Sheba gasped, as she, Jenna and Mia raced back to Isaac's house.

"The guys' favourite show starts in 10 minutes," Jenna explained. "They'll be fighting over the best seats, but we need to get there before them so that my revenge is all set to go."

"What is that, exactly?" Mia asked.

"You'll find out," Jenna said, and her evil smirk returned. She suddenly sped up, and Mia and Sheba struggled to keep up.

"I get the feeling this isn't going to be good," Mia said as she ran. Sheba simply smirked, but this irritated Mia enough to make her scowl.

@

"C'mon, let's hurry!" Garet shouted, as the guys ran back to Isaac's house.

"The show's gonna start soon!" Ivan said, stating the obvious. Behind him and Garet and Felix kept up the pace, with Isaac dawdling behind them and holding up the rear. The bags in his hands bounced against his sides as he ran.

"At last!" Ivan exclaimed, as the chimney of Isaac's house came into view. "We're nearly there!"

Suddenly, everyone, including Isaac, sped up, excitement filling their veins. But they were in for a shock when they got there.

@

"They're coming!" Mia said, looking out the window. Jenna and Sheba sweatdropped, and hurried up with the finishing touches.

"There, all done," Sheba said proudly, adjusting the tiara on Jenna's head. Suddenly, the doorknob started to rattle.

"Get outta here!" Jenna hissed. Mia and Sheba nodded and hid in a closet just as the door opened. Jenna (somewhat painfully) changed her face to a lovestruck expression as Garet and Co. raced in.

"Let's get good sea - Jenna! What are you doing here?" Garet was stunned stupid - again. "What's with the dress?"

"Hello, Garet," Jenna said sweetly. Ivan and Felix sweatdropped as Jenna approached Garet with a less-than-subtle smile on her face. Not that Garet noticed, though.

"W-What's wrong?" Garet asked nervously, backing into a wall. Unfortunately, he realised too late that he was stuck, because when Jenna walked up to him, he found he couldn't escape. "Um... er... you don't look so good," he stammered, searching for a non-existent escape route.

"Oh, I'm just fine," Jenna said in her sweet-as-strawberries voice. "I just want to tell you something."

"Erm... what's that?"

Mia and Sheba clambered out of the closet, out of breath and gasping. They looked at Garet's predicament and smiled thinly, causing the other guys to look at them suspiciously.

"You had a hand in this, didn't you?" Felix asked.

"Perhaps," Mia said shyly, and everyone returned to watching Garet squirm.

"After your prank, you got me thinking," Jenna explained. "Especially about me liking you... and you know what? You're right."

"What?!"

Jaws hit the ground as all the guys present stared at Jenna, shocked and mouths gaping open. At that moment, Isaac stumbled into the house, exhausted. He surveyed the situation, and quietly hid in the corner to watch. Jenna chose to ignore all this as she continued.

"I wanna get married," she said with a wide smile. Garet's voice became stuck in his throat when he heard this, and everyone watched as the colour drained from his face.

"You... what?"

"I wanna get married. Now."

The remaining colour from Garet's hair was drained away when Jenna announced "Now," and his face looked like that of a ghost - with unusual porcupine hair. He glanced back at his male companions (as in friends...) desperately, who stared back at him blankly and shrugged. With a gulp, he turned back to Jenna.

"Well?" she asked, continuing to smile at Garet and waiting for an answer. Finally, Garet managed to escape from Jenna's grip, and he headed towards the door.

"Um... well, the thing is... you're... I... we're not ready," he stammered, opening the door behind him. "Sorry, but... I... I can't." He backed out of the house, and the other guys, except Isaac, followed silently, jaws dragging.

"... wow," he said, dumbfounded. "I never knew Jenna felt that way."

"Finally... patooey!"

Isaac suddenly turned to Jenna, who was gagging with disgust.

"I'm soiled forever! Blegh, patooey! Bwah - What are you still doing here?!"

Isaac jumped, not expecting Jenna to catch him. He muttered, "Or not," to himself before secretly slipping Mia a note and walking out the door. When he was outside, he suddenly realised something and turned back around.

"Wait, a minute, this is _my_ -"

BAM.

" - house."

Isaac sighed heavily and trudged to the forest.

@

"Does he know?" Jenna asked, agitated.

"From your reaction, I'd guess so," Sheba said, shrugging.

"Blast it!" Jenna growled, thumping a table with her fist. "He'll ruin everything!"

"You should've checked that all the guys were gone," Sheba said casually.

"I didn't see him come in!" Jenna whined. "You don't know what it felt like to play Little Miss Love, Care 'N' Share! I swear, I felt like my face wanna gonna collapse." She pulled a face. "I don't know how Mia does it everytime she thinks about Isaac."

"Hey... where is Mia?"

Jenna looked around, and indeed, Mia had disappeared.

"Huh?" Jenna was befuddled, and she and Sheba scratched their heads in confusion.

@

Mia sprinted through town, Isaac's note ringing in her mind:

'Dear Mia,

Meet me in the forest outside of town. I have a favour to ask of you... and a little surprise.

Love, Isaac, a.k.a. Your blonde knight in shining armour xxx ooo'

Mia blushed as she reread the last line of the note in her mind. Passers-by glanced at her briefly, wondering what she was so excited about. She didn't notice, because she was immersed in her own fantasy world yet again.

+

"Sir Isaac!"

"Hello, beautiful."

Isaac and Mia stared longingly at each other. Then, their faces grew closer to each other, their lips only millimetres away. Mia closed her eyes, waiting for lift-off... their lips finally to -

+

BAM

"Oof!"

Mia collided with a sign, and fell backwards. Muttering to herself, she got up and read the sign: "Town boundary - Forest".

"I'm here!" she said enthusiastically, and she darted into the forest in search of Isaac.

@

Isaac started whistling idly while waiting for Mia. He smiled to himself, imagining her reaction to his proposal - if she accepted it, of course.

He was starting to hum a tune to himself when a shadowy figure approached behind him. Suddenly, the figure grabbed him around the waist from behind. He struggled against its grasp, but it turned him around to face it. At once, blue eyes shone at Isaac, but they were the last things he saw before his face was pulled towards them.

"Hello, Isaac," an angelic voice whispered to him, and lips met.

'... mmm... chocolate swirls,' Isaac thought to himself, as blushing maidens greeting each other in close contact {"Shakespeare influence, again... for those who don't know, blushing maidens mean lips"}. However, a familiar scent filled his nostrils. "M-Mima?" he mumbled.

The maidens parted, and Isaac stepped back into the light. The figure too stepped into the light, and Isaac saw the mysterious figure for the first time.

"Mia!"

She smiled at him, and Isaac saw this as a moment to relax and smile back.

"Hello, you miss me?"

"Of course. Although, your perfume gave it away."

"Aww," Mia said teasingly, "I thought it was my powers of seduction."

Isaac laughed somewhat nervously. "Hey, I'm glad you came," he said, and Mia beamed. "I have something for you." He searched one of his bags for one of his purchases. "I bought this for you." He held out the necklace he bought, and Mia's eyes lit up.

"This is beautiful!" she said, putting it around her neck.

"In that case, it suits you perfectly," Isaac said, smirking. Mia gave him a playful slog on the shoulder before hugging and kissing him as gratitude. "Anything else?"

"Oh, there is," Isaac said, "but I'm not giving it to you yet. It's something that requires a... well, more friendly environment."

"You sure?" Mia said, smiling at him.

Isaac fought against her powers of seduction. "Y-Yes... I.... c-eean't. I still have a favour I need from you," he added, regaining his composure.

"What do you need help with?"

"... playing Cupid. I need your help joining up two friends of ours."

'Oh..." Mia said slowly. "Are they Ivan and Sheba?"

"Er... no."

"Oh, I know! Felix and Sheba!"

'Wow,' Isaac thought. 'The Garet Syndrome must be contagious.'

"Well..." Mia said, trying to think. "Ah! Garet and Jenna!"

"Yep," Isaac said, breathing a sigh of relief. Mia looked at him strangely. "Oh, it's nothing. Well, can you help me?"

"Of course," Mia said, beaming. They took each other's hand and walked back to down. Vale's Cupids were on the case.
