Muses O' Doom

Omake Theater No.1: A Tribute

SERIOUS SPOILER WARNING: If you have not seen up to Episode Number 41, or do not know what happens there, DON'T READ THIS CHAPTER. I am SERIOUS. You will very likely be depressed.


Scar was looking for Ieva. He hadn't seen her all day, which was unusual. He sighed and wondered if she had gone and gotten herself into some kind of trouble again. At that moment, Envy came out of his room.

"Yo, Scar," he gave a bored wave.

"Have you seen Ieva today?"

Envy looked slightly surprised, "You didn't know? She got all the episodes on DVD just this morning. She's been in her room all day watching them. Hasn't come out once."

Scar began to feel uncharacteristically nervous, "What, all of them? All at once?"

"Yeah. She should be somewhere in the forties by now. Why?"

"Oh no…" Scar put a hand to his head, as if ignoring the problem would somehow save him from what was inevitably coming.

"What's 'oh no' about…oh. Y'know, maybe you should hide or something before she gets to it…"

Scar shook his head, "No, no. Something tells me that if she can't find me when it happens, her reaction will be even worse. I'll just wait here so she can find me quickly."

"Right, that might be a good idea. She'd prob'ly be even more freaked out if she couldn't find you. Anyway, I'm taking cover. Good luck with her," Envy walked quickly over to hide behind Ieva's desk.

The two didn't have to wait for very long. It was less than half an hour before there was an anguished cry from behind Ieva's door, and Scar braced himself. A white and silver blur shot out from the room like a missile, flew past Scar, and screeched to a halt in the center of the main room. It was Ieva, crying and looking frantically around her. Her eyes rested on Scar, and in the blink of an eye she had attached herself to his ankles.

"S-scar-saaaan! You're not…not allowed t-to go!"

Scar was fighting to keep his balance with the bawling girl attached to his ankles, and trying to calm her down at the same time, "It's okay, I'm not going anywhere! I'm right here…"

"But y-you…you DIED!"

Scar sighed, this could potentially take a while, "Yes, I know," the sobs increased in volume, and Scar quickly corrected himself, "Well…actually, I'm presumed dead."

Ieva raised her eyes to him, "R-really?"

"Yes. No one really knows for sure," and he added in his thoughts, 'Although the chances that I actually did survive are slim to none.'

"Okay…I think I'm a little better now…" Ieva sniffed and let go of Scar's ankles to rub her eyes. He gave a small sigh of relief; it had gone better than he had thought it would.

"Is she calmed down now?" Envy poked his head out from behind the desk cautiously.

Ieva nodded, "Yeah…I'm okay now…I think I'm going to write a story about you surviving, Scar-san."

"River in Egypt," Envy muttered to himself. He was ignored by Ieva, who was currently up said river without a paddle.


End Omake Theater

A/N: You know, this was pretty much my exact mental reaction to that episode. Oh, and the 'River in Egypt' thing: if you don't already know about that joke, it refers to someone who's in denial about something (Get it? 'de Nile is a river in Egypt?). And yes, I am in denial about it.
Envy: Every time her brothers say that he's dead, she screams "PRESUMED!" at them.
Yeah, I'm totally pathetic. Oh, and yes, I am going to (eventually) write a fanfiction about Scar surviving. I'm working it out in my head right now, and I'm not going to post it until I've finished Grudging Respect. MY CONCEPT NO STEALY!
Scar: Ieva will be posting the actual next episode soon.
Envy: We hope.
Scar: All the reviews from the last chapter will be answered then.
