Maiden of the Moon: MAIDEN. I LOVE YOU. You're the first reviewer! Thank you! Funny thing, actually. xD I had just put the first chapter up, and you reviewed like .. not even two minutes afterwards. xD I thought it was funny. As for your hope of Rosette being pregnant .. -evil laugh- You'll find out. xD Thank you for reading and reviewing! n.n
Julian-chan: Hey! I remember you! You seriously need to get an account at I mean, you reviewed Someone Like Me, and now you're onto this one .. moo. Anyway, i'm really glad that you like the story so much so far. n.n Thank you for reviewing, even without an account on n.n Anyway. For your question .. Like I explained last chapter, the title, Amenable, is a synonym for 'Willing.' There are a lot of things that will be revealed later on in the story that I believe will make the title make more sense, so keep reading, 'kei? n.n Thank you for reading and reviewing!
BlueFox of the Moon: -laughs- All right, All right! You're getting your second chapter now. :D And you used my name! YAY! I've been trying to make a pen name that I could keep for good, any suggestions? I can't put most of my usual nicknames, because most of them are already taken. Sad, yes. Think you can help me? I don't want people to be all confused and stuff because of me constantly changing my penname. x.x Ahh well. Oh yes! Tell Joshua and Chrno I said hello, all right? n.n Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Dark Magician Girl Aeris: You're getting an update now! Yay! You'll find out what Rosette's going to say .. -evil laughter- Later in the chapter. -winks- Hehehe .. this is going to be FUN. With all that i've got planned, really, I was wondering if I should put it as Romance-Drama rather than Romance-Humor. But there is this one part that I thought of a while ago, a few days after I finished Someone Like Me, actually, that is just so cute, I have to put it in here. So, unless it takes a drastic turn, i'm going to keep it as Romance-Humor. n.n What was I typing again? o.o? Ahh well. Thanks for reading and reviewing! n.n
Centauri Cruxis Angel: Yes, I did leave it at a cliffie. Hehehe! But now you're gonna find out .. the truth .. or maybe not. n.n I am the devious authoress, you know. But anyhow .. yeah, you will find out what Rosette is hiding in this chapter, I promise. n.n
Okie dokie! Before I get onto the story, I would like to tell ya'll to not be expecting the next chapter for at least a week. Sorry about that, but we're going out of town this weekend to celebrate my little brother's birthday. n.n Early. x.x His birthday isn't for about two months, but we're celebrating it now, because he is always complaining that he never gets to go anywhere awesome for his birthday, due to it being in the school year. I complain about the opposite. Go figure. Anyway, here's Chapter Two of Amenable!
Amenable

Chapter Two: Expectations
When Azmaria entered the room of Rosette Christopher, she was greeted to an open window, which was letting the air inside the room circulate and freshen the room, therefore making it a bit brighter. While this was not all too unusual for Rosette, she also saw a pile of books stacked on top of each other over on the table. Now this was unusual. While Rosette did, in fact, know how to read quite well, she never gave off the impression that she liked it. Azmaria walked over to the table of books and picked up a few of them, gazing at the titles; nothing out of the ordinary, just things about how to plan a wedding on a small budget, since she knew that Rosette didn't really have anyone to pay for the wedding, and she tended to spend more money then she had. Azmaria didn't think that the budget would be much of a problem, though .. besides, Rosette said that this didn't concern the wedding. Azmaria was now officially confused.
"What I want to talk to you about is something that you won't find in any of those books there," Rosette's voice said, followed by the quiet clicking sound that the door made as it was closed. Azmaria turned around and watched as Rosette walked over to her dresser and took a thin sheet of paper out from under another book. Rosette than walked over to her bed and sat down, hiding what was on the piece of paper as she raised a hand and made a gesture that told Azmaria to come over and sit down. Azmaria did as she was told without any hesitation.
"Azmaria, i've been sick lately," Rosette stated. Azmaria's eyes widened slightly.
"What .. exactly do you mean ..?" Azmaria asked shakily, fearing for her friend's life.
"Azzy, calm down. It's nothing deadly, i'm sure!" Rosette said with a laugh. "It's just .. for almost a week now, i've been throwing up every morning." Azmaria calmed down just a bit, but still continued to have a look of concern written on her face.
"Does Chrno know about you being sick, Rosette?" Azmaria asked curiously. Rosette shook her head.
"No. I haven't told him. I think he might have a suspicion, though." Azmaria thought about it for a moment, then smiled.
"Well, your appetite has stayed the same, so you can't be too terribly sick .. It'll clear up in a while, just give it time .." Rosette laughed.
"Yeah, you'd think that with me throwing up all the time, I wouldn't want to even look at food!" Azmaria laughed as well, then Rosette got serious again.
"Azzy, do you see a pattern here .. ?" Rosette asked quietly. Azmaria looked at Rosette, then blinked, thinking it over before it all set in.
"You mean ..?" Azmaria said in a small voice. Rosette nodded, then revealed what was on the paper.
"I went to the doctor to have it checked out yesterday. Turns out i'm pregnant." She gave the paper to Azmaria so she could examine it, and watched as Azmaria's concerned expression became a smile. Next thing Rosette knew, Azmaria was hugging her, laughing happily.
"You're going to have a baby! That's wonderful!" Azmaria squealed in delight, but then remembered what had just she said and hurriedly let go of the expectant mother. Rosette smiled, but she looked very nervous for some reason. Azmaria noticed this and immediately became concerned once more.
"You don't know how to tell Chrno, do you ..?" Rosette shook her head.
"Well .. he's going to have to know sometime .. He's bound to notice that you're not yourself .."
"I know, I know .. " Rosette sighed, then layed back down onto her bed. "I just .. I don't want him to worry about me too much until after we're married. Knowing Chrno, he's going to make me stay in bed and he'll want to do everything for me, and .. well, you know me well enough Azzy, you know that i'm not the type to just sit around doing nothing at all .." Azmaria nodded at this statement.
"Well .. maybe .. it's possible that we could hide it until after the wedding? I mean, the wedding is in a month, you shouldn't be showing too much by then, don't you think?" Azmaria suggested.
Rosette nodded and sat up. "I was hoping you would say that. Thanks, Azzy!" Rosette said, then stood up, laughing and extending a hand to help Azmaria off of the bed, which Azmaria took. They then walked torwards the door, then out the door, heading back torwards the cafeteria.
"I wonder what those two could possibly be talking about, Chrno," Joshua said from his place beside Chrno at a table in the cafeteria. "It must be something about Rosette's dress, if she dosen't want you to know." Chrno nodded in agreement.
"Whatever it is, Rosette will end up telling me sometime. She always ends up telling me everything .. she's a bad liar," Chrno said with a small chuckle.
"Yeah, she's worse than me!" Joshua said, laughing, which caused Chrno to laugh as well.
"A-CHOO!" Rosette sneezed. "Oh, YUCK!" She complained as she took the handkerchief that Azmaria handed to her.
"Bless you, Rosette," Azmaria said with a giggle. "You're not catching a cold, are you?"
"I don't know .. possibly?" Rosette said, finishing the wiping of her nose. Azmaria shrugged and they continued on their way.
"Jeez .. I know that girls talk a lot, but they're breaking records!" Joshua groaned and rested his head on the table before him.
"They've talked longer," Chrno said, bringing another spoonful of cold oatmeal to his mouth.
"Yeah, but whatever it is can't be too important .. " Joshua said, keeping his head on the table.
"Anxious to see Azmaria again, Joshua?" Chrno teased.
"Why else do you think I want them to come back already?" Joshua asked in an almost monotonous tone.
"I have no clue."
"Well, you want to see Rosette again, so you know how i'm feeling."
"Yes."
"You always want to see Rosette." Joshua said slyly.
"Why wouldn't I?" Chrno took a sip of water.
"... Damn you. I can't do that to you anymore." Joshua said, aggrivated. Chrno laughed.
"I guess not."
"Weeeeee're heeeeeeere!" A cheerful voice announced the arrival of the two girls known as Rosette Christopher and Azmaria Hendric. Rosette rushed over to Chrno and placed an arm around his neck, while she whizzed in and placed a kiss on his cheek.
"So, did ya miss me?" Rosette said happily. Chrno smiled and kissed her quickly.
"As usual. But Joshua was complaining this time, too!" He said with a laugh. Joshua picked his head up from the the table and gave a slight glare to Chrno.
"Hey!" Joshua growled, but he calmed down as Azmaria sat down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder. Joshua turned around and took Azmaria into his arms.
"I missed you more than Chrno missed Rosette. But that's our little secret," Joshua said flirtatiously with a wink, before kissing Azmaria on the cheek and smiling. Azmaria giggled and moved upward, capturing Joshua's lips with her own and beginning their own sweet kiss.
"Awww .. look at the happy couple .." Rosette said jokingly, watching the two with a sigh, before Chrno took Rosette into his arms and gave her a passionate kiss. When Rosette and Chrno broke away from each other, Rosette smirked up at him, suspecting something.
"I see there's a little bit of competition here between you and my brother .." Chrno chuckled.
"No competition here. Just love."
"Yeah, Rosette. What made you think that there was some sort of competition?" Joshua asked, his arms still wrapped around Azmaria's waist. Rosette shook her head.
"Nothing, Nothing at all." Rosette smiled and winked at Azmaria, who giggled and winked back. The two confused males just stared for a moment before smiling again. Chrno then let go of Rosette and stood up, holding out a hand to help his 'fair lady' up. Rosette gladly took her devil's hand and she stood up, He leading her out of the cafeteria.
Azmaria looked to Joshua and smiled. "Did you put their wedding gift away?" Joshua shook his head.
"Nah, I figured I would stay with Chrno after you and Rosette left to talk about whatever. What were you two talking about, anyway?" Azmaria then became nervous but tried not to show it. Quickly deciding on an aspect of the wedding that the two of them only would talk about, she answered Joshua with a smile.
"Oh, just Rosette's dress."
She felt bad afterwards. She felt bad, because she had lied to Joshua. She did it with the best interests of her best friend, but she still felt bad.
That was the first time that she had ever lied to him. She hoped that it would be the last.
To Be Continued ..
