Me: LET GO OF MY CHOCOLATE! Hale: you've had too much chocolate! Too much chocolate is bad for you! Me: you're just saying that because you want the chocolate for yourself! Hale: oh! You caught me… look! Max is here! Me: (turns) where! Hale: not! (Grabs chocolate) Mwahahahahahahaha! Mine! Me: no! Mine! (Grabs chocolate) Hale: mine! (Grabs chocolate). Me: MINE! Um… while we argue… here's chapter 2.


Chapter 2: The Adventure Starts

The girls were just eating breakfast when they hard a knock on the door. "I'll get it, and touch my plate again and you'll be sorry Pan-chao," Kaina said getting up from the table. The poring disobeyed and was aiming to get an apple. When Aika lifted him up.

"Pan-chao! Naughty little poring!" Aika scolded.

"Poring…" Pan-chao said making puppy-dog eyes. Aika smiled and cuddled the pink creature.

"Aw! You know I can't stay mad at you Pan-chao! Here," Aika said giving him an apple from her plate. There was a scream. "Kaina!" Aika said and ran to the door to find Kaina holding up a much wounded priest. "Aiji!" Aika said and went up to him to help Kaina bring him to his room. Aiji sat on his bed as Aika put some bandages on his wounds.

"Ah! That hurts!" Aiji yelled in pain.

"Oh don't be such a cry baby Aiji!" Kaina said putting her hands on her hips. Aika had just finished tying the bandage around Aiji's bleeding arm.

"Kaina, that is no way to treat someone older than you," Aika said.

"Yeah Kaina, where's your respect?" Aiji said snickering. Kaina crossed her arms across her chest and looked away from the wounded priest.

"Hmp, you're just older than e by one year…" Kaina said.

"I'm still older than you, ah!" Aiji said in pain.

"Lie down Aiji, you need to rest," Aika said as Aiji lay down on his bed. "What were you doing out there anyway? You never came home this wounded before," Aika said.

"Actually, I was planning on going to Juno…" Aiji confessed.

"JUNO! And leave us here! What kind of insensitive bastard are you!" Kaina said.

"Kaina!" Aika said.

"I didn't mean to leave you girls here, I was gonna give you two a note," Aiji said.

"Why were you going to Juno anyway?" Aika asked.

"I was searching for the Valkyrie," Aiji replied.

"A Valkyrie? You mean you wanted to be reborn!" Kaina said. Aiji nodded.

"I left at about 3 in the morning so I could start early; at around 6 I got tired, so I rested and ate what I had packed for my journey, everything was going fine until I was ambushed," Aiji said.

"Ambushed! By what!" Aika said.

"Dark Priests… (Um… I'm not sure if they can be found in Al De Baran…)" Aiji said.

"Then how id you wind up in front of our door step? What? A Kafra came out of nowhere and warped you back here in Prontera?" Kaina said.

"You forget Kaina, Priests and Priestesses can make warp portals," Aiji said.

"Oh… uh… I knew that! I was just um… testing you! Yeah! Testing you!" Kaina said.

"Poring!" Pan-chao said.

"Oh so I forgot Priests and Priestesses can warp themselves somewhere else! Don't have to rub it in my face! Plus Aiji, I thought you ran out of blue gems," Kaina said.

"I bought some before I left Prontera, common sense Kaina," Aiji said "Ah!" he said in pain.

"No more talking Aij, you need to rest, with those wounds you can't possibly walk around those dangerous terrains," Aika said.

"But…" Aiji said but was interrupted.

"No buts Aiji, you're staying in bed until you get better," Aika said. Aiji smiled.

"That's just like you Aika," Aiji said. That night, Aika was awoken since she couldn't sleep. She woke up to find Kaina not asleep either.

"You couldn't sleep either huh?" Kaina asked. "Afraid of the nightmare?" Kaina said.

"No, I as wondering about what Aiji said about being reborn," Aika said.

"Same here," Kaina said, the two girls sighed. They were silent for a while.

"So what do you say Kain?" Aika said. The knight turned to her friend who had a smile on her face.

"W-what do you mean?" Kaina said.

"Come on Kaina, you know exactly what I mean, I bet it would be cool to be a High Priestess, I know you want to become a Lord Knight too," Aika said.

"Aika, even though becoming a Lord Knight will be pretty cool but then… the way to Juno is too hard…" Kaina said.

"Well we'll at least try Kaina, we'll do it for Aiji," Aika said.

"Poring," Pan-chao said in agreement. Kaina smiled and nodded.

"All right, I'm in," Kaina said. "But what about Aiji?" she asked.

"Well leave a note for him, and I'll need some blue gems," Aika said. The two girls got up from their beds, changed and went silently out of the house. Not forgetting to give the injured Priest, Aiji a note on his bedside table. They went into the stable to pick up their Pecopecos. The bird-like creatures squawked thinking it was a burglar.

"Shh… there, there Gale, it's us," Kaina said soothing the beast.

"Don't be alarmed Jule," Aika said patting her Pecopeco to comfort it. The two girls mounted on their Pecopecos (I know in the game only Knights or Crusaders could ride Pecopecos but what am I supposed to let Aika ride? A car? No way.). When someone opened the stable doors.

"Aiji!" the girls said. The Priest held out a note.

"A-Aiji! We could explain!" Aika said. Aiji smiled.

"There's no need to explain, go ahead girls," Aiji said. The two girls smiled.

"You mean it Aiji?" Kaina said. Aiji nodded his head. He turned to Aika.

"Oh and Aika, you'll need these," Aiji said giving her a small bag. Inside it, were lost of helpful blue gems.

"Thanks Aiji!" Aika said. The two went out of the stable, about to go.

"Take care of yourselves girls," Aiji said.

"We will Aiji," Kaina said.

"You take care of yourself too," Aika aid.

"Poring!" Pan-chao said. Aiji giggled.

"I'll be fine," Aiji said.

"Well… bye Aiji, well be back in a long time," Aika said.

"Bye girls," Aiji said.

"Poring!" Pan-chao said. Aiji giggled and patted the cute pink creature.

"Bye Pan-chao," Aiji said. And so the girls were off, starting their journey.


Me: end of chapter 2! Sorry it was kinda lame… it was lame wasn't it Hale? Hale: yep, pretty much. Me: oh shoot. Hale: want some chocolate? Me: yehey! (Grabs chocolate and eats it). Hale: (sweat-drops)… oh well… at least she's behaved; see you guys in chapter 3!
