Rose: Gareas and Ernest had an argument…(cries) poor Ernest…

Chapter Two: Argument

The Next Day

"Good morning, Garu!" Ernest met Gareas when he walked out of his room. Garu ignored him and continued walking. He was still mad at Ernest for doing that with Rio behind his back. And Ernest didn't even tell him that! Ernest's having fun with Rio and just left him alone like he is the stupid one. "Are you ok Garu? You look grumpy. If anything's troubling you, tell me. Ok? I would definitely help you out!" Silence. Ernest decided to ignore Gareas's weird behavior, and together they went to the cafeteria.

"Hey! Ernest!" Rioroute waved at Ernest.

"Good morning Rio." Ernest waved back and walked up to him. Ernest sat opposite of him and started to eat. Gareas took this chance to question Ernest.

"Ernest. Why were you going to Rio's room yesterday?"

"Huh? Umm… Nothing. We're just talking about random things."

"Oh. I see. What else did you do?"

"Garu, you never ask me things like these. Are you feeling well today? Maybe you should go and see the doctor." Ernest quickly changed the subject.

"Nothing. I'm fine." Gareas quickly finished his breakfast and left without saying a word.

"Do you think he knows about it?" Ernest asked Rioroute.

"No, I don't think so. If he were not feeling well, he would go to the doctor. Don't worry about him. He's going to be fine." But Ernest was still worried even after those reassuring words.

Ernest caught up to Garu before he left. "Garu, are you ok? You're acting strangely today." Ernest had an are-you-ok-I'm-really-worried look on his face. But Gareas pretended he didn't see it and shrugged Ernest off.

"Stop bothering me. Go find Rioroute; your new lover." Ernest was shocked.

"My new lover? My only lover is you! Gareas! Why are you saying those hurtful words?"

"If you and Rio are innocent, then why are you going to Rio's room last night?"

"I already told you! Rio and I were just chatting about random things!"

"I heard it myself. I heard you and Rio doing it last night in Rio's room. Don't think I'm stupid. I heard it with my own ears. Tell me the truth. If you keep on lying to me, then let's split up. I don't want to be your lover anymore." Ernest was close to tears.

"Rio and I didn't do anything! Believe me! I swear I did not do anything! You misunderstood! I will never betray you! Please, please, believe me!" Ernest was crying now. Gareas shrugged Ernest off of him and left.

"Luhma Klein, concentrate on the battle." Came Teela's voice.

"Sorry."

They are fighting the Victim again. The Victim almost hit Ernest if he had not wake up from daydreaming. Ernest was thinking about Gareas. Why did Garu think that he and Rio were lovers? He is sure that there must be a misunderstanding between he and Gareas. Ernest dodged another attack from the Victim. But Ernest did not know that another one was behind him. The Victim shot out an attack. Ernest looked behind him.

"ERNEST! BEHIND YOU!"
