Second chapter up! Once again, I do not own Disgaea! AHH!

Remember

Chapter 2: Find her! CHARGE! And attack!

The three ran almost through the whole castle just looking for one girl. "Please! Can we take a rest?" Ari began slowing down. "It's your fault that you ate all the food!" Nike stopped and pointed at Ari's stomach. "It's not my fault! Joe's guilty too!" "At least I'm not tired!" Joe stuck out his tongue. Ari's anger meter went up 100. "Araaaaaaah!" He screamed out and ran as fast as he could. He went past through both Nike and Joe. "You're going to get lost, you jerk!" Joe called out. Ari's screams echoed through the hallway. "Were not going to find her this way, we should split up." Nike suggested.

Merilu sat alone outside in the hard rain behind the bushes. She let out a quiet sigh. I'm too late. She thought. She heard something calling out her name. She couldn't tell who it was; the rain was too loud to hear. She didn't bother to get up. She didn't want to get found. The voice wondered off somewhere else. Peace at last... she thought.

"Found you." Her heart skipped a beat. Looked back, and saw a figure. With the rain, she also couldn't really see anything. "Why are you out here? You're going to catch a cold."

It's Joe... She looked back sinking her head into her arms. "I did it." She said. "What?" Joe couldn't hear. " I... asked him." She repeated. "Really? How did it go?" He was a little excited. "I got rejected" Her voice broke down. She tried to hold her tears in, but then Ari and Nike came in. "Merilu, are you okay?" Nike bent down to see Merilu.

"Nike...eee..." drops of tears started to roll down her cheek. "What's wrong? What happened?" Nike got worried. Ari walked up and started to encourage her. Guessing what has happened. "It's okay, I bet you did just fine!" Merilu kept crying. "He's worth nothing compared to you!" Ari still tried. Nike got confused.

Joe started to shake with anger. "Get a hold of your self!" He raged out. This made everyone stare up at him, except for Merilu. "That idiot was just plain dumb, if you want a boyfriend... then I'll be your guy!"

In their minds:

Ari: Dude... That's so random...

Nike: What the heck is happening? Why is Joe asking her out? He is so not Merilu's type!

Merilu:

Joe: What did I just get my self into?

Silence was brought out through the spot, each thinking what they had in mind. Merilu slowly nodded her head. She thought that it was just so that it would get her mind off of that one boy. She stood up. She hugged Nike whispering, "Thank you..." Joe heard that and sweat dropped, "I'm right here, you stupid."

600 years later...

"Hi, Ari! Hi, Joe!" Merilu waved her hand as she walked by them. The boys both said hi. Ari was staring at Joe who was just minding his own business.

"What?" Joe was a little freaked out.

"What's wrong with you?" Ari sighed.

"What do you mean 'what's wrong with you'?" Joe asked.

"Aren't you going to do anything more than just say 'hi' to her? I mean, she IS your girlfriend..." Ari shook his head. Joe blushed, "Wha-? We're over that! I bet you she doesn't even remember that it happened!"

"Stop making excuses, just go!" Ari pushed Joe and he bumped into Merilu. She fell to the ground on her knees. Joe made a sign to Ari, 'Look at what you made me do!' sign. Ari apologized and smiled. While they were contacting each other with sighs, Merilu got up and wondered what they were doing... Ari made a major sign that said, 'She's right behind you! She's looking at you! She thinks your a wierdo!' Joe turned as fast as he could.

"Uhh...ehehehe..." Joe laughed behind his breath. Ari slapped his forehead. Now she's going to think he's an idiot!

Merilu smiled, "You want to go somewhere with me?"

"...Huh...? Wha-?" By her sudden words, Joe looked back at Ari for what to do. Unfortunately for him, Ari was gone a long time ago. Joe was unable to speak, so instead, he just nodded.

The both of them were outside in the garden...

Kind of like old times... Thought Joe, Ari and I used to play here, all the time we had...

Flashback on 800 years before:

"Wait a minute!" Joe ran through almost every inch of the garden, "You run too fast, Ari! Where the heck are you?"

Out in the distance, Ari's voice is heard, "You're just too slow, come on, Joe, I know you can do better than that!"

Joe runs and runs, but there is nothing but nature. Then he trips on a rock. "Gack!" Joe started to get little tears rolling down on his face. "A-Ariiii... Ari...?"

Silence was upon him. He could only hear the sound of wind going past the garden, and the trees respond.

"...♪ ♫..." There is someone singing... somewhere...

Joe listens awhile. He gets up, rubs his face to get the tears off and then runs toward where the singing is coming from.

"...♬ ♩..." That voice continues and Joe runs. Even though he's almost out of breath, he still runs for guidance.

It's a bird, it's a radio, it's... it's...

"Joe?" Merilu's voice reaches out to Joe and he snaps out from his memory.

"Ahh!" Joe got so surprised that he fell on his back.

She giggles. Then she turns her back on him. She sighs a little and then she says, "This is the most memorable place I have ever been to..."

"Huh? W-Why...?" Joe asks, kind of already know the answer.

"... I... don't know!" She smiles up at the sky.

Just as I thought... Joe was kind of ashamed and looked to the ground. Joe's temper got up high and stood up. "You know-"

Just as Joe was going to say something, drops of water cam falling down. "Ah...!" Now it was raining. Joe kept his words and directed Merilu to come back to the castle.

"..." Merilu stood there still, as if she was in a spell.

"Come on Merilu! Let's go back!" Joe nearly yelled.

"..." Merilu still stood staring at the rain. Something hurts her head. Then some images started to appear in her mind.

"!" Merilu rubbed her eyes to see if this was all a dream. "Ah..." She turned to see Joe and he looked clueless.

"Merilu...?"

Ari came to see if Joe had some money on him to buy a weapon and saw the two out in the rain. "Joe? Merilu?"

"Y-You..." Merilu began. Both of the boys were staring at her, waiting for a word to say.

"I can't believe you... You... unspeakable of... of... " Merilu started to burst into tears and rage.

Joe and Ari didn't like whatever was going to happen next so they took a step back slowly...

"ZIELREGEN!" She yelled out an attack and thousands of arrows came down fast upon Joe.

"WHAT?" Joe let out his last cry.

ZZZZDDDDZDZDZDDZDDDZDZDZZDZDZZD!

Merilu walked past the strider with an unhappy face. Ari just stood there stiff until she was out of sight and then helped Joe out. He was lucky enough to have only 4 health points left.

"The things I've done, and this is the worst. And yet I don't know what I did... Ugh..." Joe fainted and was brought to the cleric immediately.

Laharl: Now that's the way that a true servant should attack. Rage and Hate! MWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

Yeah, yeah, yeah... Whatever... Stay tuned for the next chapter, "Remember Chapter 3: No excuses!" !
