Summary: After coming into a new forest for the night, Arie the forest Pixie decides to play the role of matchmaker for the gang. Chaos, Iris, Loki, and Fenris start doing the stupidest things, ending up embarrassing themselves in front of the other. Even Loki's stoic self gets a hint of a blush. Hopefully these incidents will get their true feelings out in the open, especially after a lot of thinking. And luckily for Arie, it's a five-day travel to reach the village at the other edge of the woods, plenty of time for this matchmaker to work her magic.
A/N: Thank you very much for coming upon my story. I hope it doesn't sound too stupid or infuriates anyone. This is one of the first stories I did, and I had to improvise a little because the manwha is stuck at #10. So ifit does infuriate someone let me be struck by…something that doesn't leave permanent mental or physical scars. XX
Chapter One: Fresh Meat
"Are we there yet?"
"No"
"How 'bout now?"
"No, not yet"
"Are we there yet?"
"No"
"How 'bout now?"
"No, not yet"
"Are we there yet?""No"
"How 'bout now?"
"No, not yet"
"Are we there yet?"
"No"
"…Now?"
"GODS, IRIS! WE WILL NOT GET THERE FOR ANOTHER…"
"Um…Chaos?"
"What Loki?"
"We have arrived at our destination."
"Yay! Were here, were here, were here, w-"
"Iris…"
"Yes Fenris? Is something wrong?"
"Why are you so excited if we're just entering a mere forest," asked the curious warlock.
Everyone turns to the hyper Cleric expecting and explanation.
"Oh that's simple; we've never been in a forest with a spring as big as this one! It'll take us three days to get there most likely…but it is SO worth it. That way you and I can bathe there. Especially when Mr. All-High-and-Mighty over there won't let us go to an inn so we can at least sleep without having leaves and twigs clinging to us," stated the disgruntled girl as she jabbed an accusing thumb over her shoulder towards Chaos.
"HEY! Who ya' callin' Mr. All-High-and-Mighty when you're the one that always seems to be complaining and having all these mood swings lately! Besides, it takes MONEY to stay at an inn, which we currently don't have!"
"Hey! I don't complain THAT much and I am NOT having mood swings!"
"Are Too!"
"Are Not!"
"Are Too!"
"Are Not!"
"Are Too!"
"ARE NOT!"
"ARE TOO!"
Fenris just sweat dropped as she saw her two friends yell back and forward at each other. Loki just averted his gaze to an "interesting" looking tree. The Rune Knight and the Cleric kept at it for half an hour until Fenris decided that it was long enough. Coming up between the two, she yelled:
"SILENCE! As interesting as it is to watch your spit match, it will be night fall in a couple of hours and we should be looking for a place to sleep!"
The two looked at each other and then at the Warlock and said in unison:
"Whatever"
During their spit match, Loki had felt a magical presence. But as he surveyed the surrounding area, he caught sight of no other living creatures besides him and his comrades. He decided that he should go out on patrol on with Chaos or Fenris later. And with that last thought, pushed his suspicions to the back of his mind.
"Hey, Loki! Look alive buddy, we're going to make camp over yonder," yelled Chaos who was far ahead.
"Coming Chaos"
Giving one last look around, just to make sure, Loki walked swiftly to catch up with the others. Unknown to everyone, except to Loki and his suspicions, a being, of 6 inches in height, was watching the four friends with mischievous glint in her eyes up on a high branch of a nearby tree.
"So, fresh meat to toy with, this should be interesting. Especially that stoic one, ruffling his feathers should be the most entertaining."
With one last look at the group, the creature left with a snap of her fingers.
AN: So how was it? Please review.
