Thank you all for your reviews. MisoGirl pointed out something that indeed conflicted the last chapter and maybe the fate of this story. I didn't realize the Rosette/Chrono relationship until I read the review. Anyways, I attempted to patch up some holes in my story. If you find anything, please let me know.

A Psychologist's Day And Life


Chapter Ten: Post-Date Situation

Now you things couldn't get any worse…but it did. First of all, a certain nun (won't be mentioning any names) had asked me on a date. Mind you, I wouldn't call it a date but…a time to talk. Okay, a date mind you but I didn't have any feelings or puppy love, or anything that made me feel mushy. Ergo, before the day began, I woke up extra early (about six, I think). I then made my way to the Elder's place in knowing that Chrono would hang around there. I knocked on the door and about five minutes of doing so, I was about to leave when the door opened. Chrono came out with his…sleep attire.

"What's going on?" He asked, sleepy eyed. "Oh, which one are you?"

"Bert," I said to him. "Come on, I need to talk to you."

"Just let me get dressed, okay?"

After Chrono got dressed, he met up with me at the fountain. Then I told him the whole situation. Yeah, it may have been a horrible move however I was determined to keep the relationship that Rosette and myself had as friends. He was bugged eyed after I was done.

"I…I…can't believe she did that," Chrono stammered. "She…asked you to…" Then he burst out laughing. "I can't believe she did that!"

"Don't laugh," I said, seriously. "Don't you have some sort of relationship with her?"

"Well…" he got quiet. "We've been close ever since she was a little girl. I suppose I do have feelings for her."

"This guy is even denser than Lloyd (referring to Tales of Symphonia). At any rate, you have no problem with this…right?"

He thought for a moment, "I guess not…"

"I mean…we don't have feelings for each other, we're just friends."

"Yeah…sure."

Just then Azmaria came into the scene. "Good morning, Bert, Chrono."

"Morning," we said simultaneously.

"Amor's looking for you and Chrono, Sister Kate wants you to see her right away."

"Okay," Chrono said leaving. I then went to the cafeteria to have some breakfast. Today I just had some potatoes and eggs. Amor and Remington came over.

"Look at this guy, beer leaving me."

"I didn't beer leave you. Did I escape the compound?"

"Anyways," Remington said, having a seat. "How would you two like to go on a mission?"

"A mission? What kind of a mission?"

"There have been reports of a creature stalking the streets of New York. Rosette and Chrono already left for the scene. I would like you two to accompany me."

"Very well," I said, getting up. "We'll accompany them."

Remington walked off. I turned to Amor. "Do you know what episode is this?"

"Hell Hound," Amor replied. "Let's see…a car chase while the hound hunts and kills criminals. Nice…"

We caught up to Remington who was going to accompany us on the drive. After a good time of travel, I told Remington to go to a street and wait.

"What for?" he asked.

"Wait and see," was the reply from Amor. Just then, a car sped zoomed across us, followed by a black thing and then by another car who was shooting at the thing. It was Chrono and Rosette.

Amor yelled, "Punch it!" and we pursued the convoy. However they took a hard right and we missed the turn. We scrambled to get to the right direction however most of the action was over. We parked the car and we saw Rosette and Chrono talking to each other briefly, then taking a good at the wreckage and Chrono running away somewhere while Rosette going to the crash site.

"Remington, stay here. We'll go over to the wreck." Remington stayed in the car and we walked over to the site. Rosette was trying to keep a wounded man from dying.

"Get up, get up!" she yelled. The man groaned and he stopped moving. We both knew how it was going to turn out.

"Rosette," Amor started, "time of death." She looked at us and continued her futile effort. "Time of death?" Amor asked again and again Rosette didn't listen.

I looked at my watch. "Time of death…10:45 am."

She turned to Amor and walked over to him. "Do you know what just happened?" she asked fiercely, "A man is dead! Doesn't that bother you?"

Amor gave it a thought. "No? Is it supposed to bother me?"

She gave a grunt of frustration and then left towards Chrono. I looked at him.

"If you don't think about it, then you can move on. Don't let anything like that bother you."

"I suppose that she's at an age she is yet to realize that fact." I had to agree with him. If you think about it, then you are vulnerable in being distracted and cannot perform to the best of your ability. We returned to Remington who gave us a lift back to the Order. After our arrival, we went to our offices in order to fulfill our psychologist duties. This took about two hours and after one patient left my office, we had our break. While I eating an apple, Sister Mary came walking.

"Someone's got a date! Someone's got a date!" she chanted.

"What are you talking about?" I asked her.

She gave a smile, "Remington told me about it. You're going on a date with Rosette!"

"How do you know? And it's not a date; it's more like a meeting."

"Then how come you're blushing?" I was indeed blushing. She gave a quick laugh and continued on her way. I was seriously considering canceling the outing however I would then be branded as the jerk in the Order. Five patients later, yet another knock was on my door.

"Come in," and in came Remington.

"You bastard, you told about my meeting."

"Mary's got a big mouth," Remington said disappointingly.

"Ha, not as big as yours."

"We've found the creature that is known as the Hell Hound. He's in the underground somewhere. We need both of your help."

"Fine, it beats paperwork anyways."

I got Amor and the three of us went underground. We were set up near the end.

"How come we're set up in the end here?" Amor asked.

"Because that's what they want us be. We're the final defense line."

"That thing moves pretty fast. How are we going to hit it?"

"With this," I held a metal sphere. "A flash bomb. I 'temporary borrowed' this from the elder's office."

"You mean 'stole' it did you?"

"Well…" I was cut off by some noises. Suddenly there was a pink light that flooded the underground.

"Ooooohh, pretty," Amor said sarcastically. We both prepared our swords and soon a black thing appeared out of nowhere.

"I thought Rosette killed that thing in the end," Amor shouted frantically.

"We only got one shot at this. We'll up and we'll strike it at the same time. That will finish the beast!" I threw the flash bomb and it exploded, having the hound vulnerable for a minute. That was our chance. We both charge head-on to the demon and slashed the hound on the head. It then feel on the ground.

"Slice em' and dice em'," I yelled and we both slashed it until it didn't move a muscle. From the shadows, Chrono, Satella and Rosette came running in.

"You've managed to subdue the beast, I'm impressed," Satella said admirably.

"How did you attack it when it was moving so fast?" Chrono asked.

Yeah, how did we manage to defeat a demon like that? The hound was probably moving faster than a cheetah so how did we do it? We looked at each other an answered, "We don't know?"

"You don't know?" Chrono said, confused.

"Yeah, don't know. No explanation required."

"Right," Chrono and Satella started to leave. Rosette, however, stayed for a while.

"Yes?" I asked her. "What's the problem?"

She went up to Amor, "I'm sorry that I acted like a jerk before."

"Yeah, I'm sorry too. I won't be as annoying."

She then prepared to leave. "Bert, I hope that you're ready for our meeting tomorrow."

I blushed and Amor laughed. "Yo, you're dating her? She's making you do her?"

"MEET HER!" I yelled at him. He continued laughing and I blushed again. First slaying a demon and then being reminded the fact that the meeting was tomorrow.


Sorry for the abrupted ending. Remember, if you find anything let me know. Anyways, please R&R this chapter. No flames.
