Hola peeps! (No, I'm not a Spanish person.) Anyways, 3rd chappy up, huh? I wasn't planning on what happened on the last chapter. Really. I actually wrote it (or drew it) all on a comic first. Like which one should be better, blah blah blah... Then I thought this would be more... interesting... So yeah, thank you for reading this!

Laharl: Thank you for reading this! In mimicking girly voice

Whappa! Laharl knocked out

Remember

Chapter 3: No Excuses!

"Zielregen!"

"WHAT?"

ZZZDDDZDDZDZDZDDDZDZZDZZDDDZDD!

Merilu sat on her bed, thinking over and over what has just happened. But this just made her head hurt even more. She buried her face in her hands and shook her head. "..." All that memory, those good times, has been lost for 600 years and it just had to come back at this moment...

My new crush

She was thinking over what she has remembered.

My new crush...

That boy... the one I was staring at... The one that I told Ari and that bastard about to...

Help

I... needed help? From those two guys?

Basketball

That ball that hit me while I was staring at him. It hurts a lot...

Clothes, Make up, Crushed, Cry and Run

Worked so hard on what to wear and stuff, all that hard work... just wasn't worth it. Cry and Run... Is what I did...

I... I... still... the sun will...

Ayu told me that phrase...

"But... you know, it doesn't have to be a perfect day in order to say that you like him."

Merilu thought more...

"I mean, yeah, it may be a nicer way to do it, but, if you love someone that much, you can say 'I like you' just about nearly everywhere!"

And then she started to cry.

"Isn't that what 'love' means, anyway...?"

"I don't get it!" Joe banged his hand on the counter, "If she just remembered, shouldn't she be all happy right now? And aren't archers suppose to be all nice and tries not to hurt anybody?"

"... I'm not sure about the first one, but the second part, I agree. But there's first time for everything." Ari smiled.

"... Thanks..." Joe glared at his best friend.

"Hey, hey, hey! Joe! Shouldn't you be resting on the bed or something? And Ari! Leave him alone!" Etna ordered hers and Laharl's pupils. "First of all, Joe, I need you to get all cured so you can fight with Prier. That oversized booby bitch! GRRR!" Etna growled and went stopping her feet away, leaving the two sweat dropped.

"Hey Joe! You okay?" Nike came by.

"What do you think?"

She giggled and told Ari that Master Laharl is calling him.

"Oh, geez, I wonder what he needs..." Ari murmured and went off.

Nike circled around to see Joe. Her smile just faded away to a frown. She took a deep breath and sighed. "She knows...?"

"..." Joe nodded with pain. Partially because of the damage he took.

Nike frowned even more. "You know, she won't come out from her room... Even if it's Anyo to cheer her up."

"... Anyo... knows...?" Joe, kind of shocked that Anyo knew.

"No, but still..." She turned her face away, "She's going to starve and become anorexic... And some day die..."

Nike didn't really mean it that way. But from last time, to Joe and Ari, food is important. But if Merilu doesn't ever come out of her room, then yes, she will eventually die.

"And I thought that maybe... you can talk to her." Nike made eye contact with Joe.

Joe looked surprised, "Do you not notice that I'm the whole problem? She is mad at mostly me?"

Nike looked like she was going to cry, "JOE! She won't come out! Not even Master Laharl can make her come out! She doesn't care if she gets transmigrated to a zombie, she doesn't care if he makes her go die! She just cares about... about..." Nike brushed her tears out. The last words couldn't come out of her; it was too much.

Joe was now ashamed of him self even more. The two just stood there without a word.

"Merilu"

Merilu noticed that somebody was there and ignored.

The person who was out the door tried to get Merilu to let her in. Silence was in the room.

"It's Ayu" She finally said.

"..." Merilu thought for a bit and then got up. She opened the door and saw the prism mage standing alone, with her sweet smile stuck on her face.

"May I... come in?" Ayu asked.

"..." Without saying a word, the archer opened her door wider to let Ayu in.

"So, how are you?" Already knowing the problem in Merilu, she still asked.

No words came out of her.

"I see..." Ayu whispered and looked at Merilu who was once again sitting on her bed with sheets wrapped around her. She probably had nothing on her except her under wears and a nightwear.

Ayu smiled a bit and laid back to back with Merilu, "Talk to me..." and she closed her eyes...

"I'll come again, Merilu." Ayu came out of Merilu's room, waving a good bye. As she was about to walk towards the long hallway, she saw Joe.

Oh-oh... What is Joe thinking? Is he going to kill her, or will he remember that Ayu's the girl that he used to spy on? Stay tuned for the next chapter!

Laharl: Yeah, the next part is called, "Remember Chapter 4: The Fight"

... That's my line...
