The two sectors couldn't be more relieved to be back at home base. After all the tension, Demon Beast slaying, and going through a sleepless night, they were well ready to relax for the time being.
The soldiers disembarked from the ship, Sir Arthur meeting them for a debriefing. The green puff with red colored hair wordlessly approached Sir Arthur with a look of seriousness on his unmasked face.
"Sir Falspar…is something wrong?"
"Wheeereeee issss Beeetaaaa?" Falspar hissed in an uncharacteristic menacing tone.
"Um…he…should be where he always is, in the workshop…" Sir Arthur answered, somewhat unsure with whether he should have divulged the black puff's location.
"Thaaaank yoooouuu…" Falspar made his way to the workshop's door without another word.
An awkward moment of silence followed.
Nobody had really seen him like this before, so they weren't sure whether to be worried or not.
"Umm…anyway…" Sir Arthur cleared his throat. "Was the mission successful?"
"Yes, the Demon Beast has been defeated." Meta Knight reported.
"…And eaten by Gisela." Candeloro added with disgust.
"It was delicious, and I have no regrets." Gisela said, with a lazy and smug grin on her lips.
Sir Arthur winced. "…Ah, I…am sincerely grateful that the mission was a success and…" He sighed mid-sentence. "I…I can't believe you ate it…Breakfast is in the cafeteria. You can give me the details of the mission afterward."
The leader of the GSA sauntered off in a daze, most likely disturbed at the thought of eating Demon Beast.
Eager to get some proper nourishment, the soldiers filed into the cafeteria. The cooks were very skilled in their work, and everyone appreciated that.
"Gisela, you just ate five times your weight in Demon Beast!" Candeloro shouted. "How are you possibly hungry?!"
"Candy, a real woman always has room in her stomach for more." The black puff replied proudly. "And I am the prime example."
"At least you're eating actual food this time…" The red haired woman sighed.
"I eat what I want!"
"I'm starved…" Jecra groaned. "I'm tired of eating camp food…and I'm surprised I still have an appetite after watching Gisela eat all that…ugh…Demon Beast."
"This has become a real source of trauma, hasn't it?" Garlude added. "Well, it's all over now Jecra. So just try not to think about it."
"Okay…" The blonde whined.
"I do not understand the disgust." Yamikage added quietly. "Demon Beast is not that different from regular meat."
"You keep saying that, Yamikage. But it doesn't make it any less gross to me!" Jecra barked. "So can we please just not talk about it! I wanna eat pancakes without choking on them this morning, thank you!"
The ninja gave a grunt in reply, but honored the man's wishes for silence on the subject.
Falspar returned to the cafeteria, disgruntled at the black puff's disappearance from his workshop. The black puff knew that he was looking for him and went running for the hills. …At least that's what Falspar was convinced of.
As Sector S departed, Nonsurat's eyes were in a haze as he watched the girls leave. He smiled a little, Gisela raised an invisible eyebrow in confusion when Shenandoah turned around to look at the shy young man.
Falspar chuckled, now in a better mood. "Oooh…Nonsurat, you sly dog you!"
The turquoise puff jumped slightly and turned to him, tilting his head slightly. "Huh…Falspar, did you say something?" His voice was soft.
"Oh, nothing. You can tell me later." Falspar waved his gloved hand in a playful manner.
"So…did you find Beta?" Jecra asked once they sat down at their table.
"No." He groaned, frowning. "The coward. That backstabbing, two-faced, no good, stupid, dummy-headed, snake in the grass jerk…eventhoughhe'smybestfriend."
"Man, what did he do to make you this angry?" Jecra asked.
"It certainly must have been heinous." Garlude frowned.
"Oh, it was! And when I find him…well, I don't know. But it won't be good! …Ow!"
(watch?v=psvGk3RD_es)
Falspar let out a cry of pain as something made contact with the back of his head. He turned around to see Letty balancing about three plates, one balanced on her head and the others in her arms. Pancakes, bacon, toast, all sorts of breakfast foods were stacked onto them.
"S-Sorry!" Letty apologized, the edge of one plate accidentally hitting the green puff's head. "Woah! Um…Sorry again! I'm so clumsy…"
She carefully stepped back, the plates staying perfectly balanced on her limbs and head. For a moment, her eyes locked with Meta Knight's, only for her to quickly break away. He still continued to gaze upon the blonde girl.
"Oh, are you carrying your teammates' breakfast to them? That's so cute!" Garlude giggled.
"Isn't that cute, Meta?" Falspar elbowed the blue puff while Jecra stifled his laughter.
"Hmm?" He said, as though he had been broken from a trance.
Letty giggled, shaking her head. "Nope! This is all for me!"
Several mouths flung open. The pink puff looked entirely unperturbed at their reactions.
"E-Excuse me…I thought you said that was all for you…" The lavender skinned woman laughed.
"No, that's what I said. This is my breakfast." She replied cheerfully.
"T-That's an awful lot for someone of your size…" Jecra said, his sweat dropping. "Or are you just hungry today?"
"Actually this is a lighter breakfast than usual." Letty hummed.
"Uhh…" Jecra gaped, then swallowed. "H-How do you do it?"
"Eh?" The blonde puff tilted her head in a confused manner.
"H-How do you eat like that? How do you not gain weight?" Garlude finished.
Suddenly, a roar of laughter erupted from the table. Falspar guffawed, while Dragato tried to be more tasteful in his amusement. Nonsurat's small chuckles could faintly be heard, and Meta Knight seemed to be the only one who could keep straight face.
Letty giggled. "Silly, our species aren't quite like that. We don't gain weight normally. It either takes a tremendous amount of food over a long period of time without proper care, or if we're allergic to something we swell up."
"S-So…you mean…you hardly ever gain weight?" Garlude gasped, a tone of envy in her tone.
"Nope, not unless I were to eat something I'm allergic to."
"So…got any allergies?" The woman asked in a suspicious tone.
"H-huh…?" Letty frowned, looking somewhat hurt.
A few at the table shot Garlude a surprised look.
"I-I'm sorry, Letty. That was mean." She apologized sincerely. "I wouldn't do something like that to someone, especially to you. You're too sweet."
"U-Uh, um…" The pink puff blushed. "I-It's alright…"
The blonde stumbled for a moment, but quickly found her footing to avoid the plates of food falling to their doom. She breathed a sigh of relief.
"These plates are starting to feel a little heavy…"
"If you want, you can sit with us." Garlude offered, patting the seat next to her and in front of Meta Knight.
The blue-eyed puff seemed to consider it, almost wandering to the seat with a smile. She suddenly stopped and frowned, her gaze darting to her own sector.
"I can't…." She whispered. "Gisela wouldn't like it…"
The pink puff quietly walked to her other teammates. She almost turned around to glance back, but decided better of it.
"Letty, what held you up?" Gisela frowned.
"I was-"
"Never mind, do you know where in this base Shenandoah is?" The black puff asked. "She's been coming and going all the time. Can't keep track of her anymore, and she's so quiet you don't notice when she leaves. It's getting a little suspicious…"
"I'm sure that she's busy, Gisela." Letty said, sitting next to her sector leader. "You know that she's always taking care of the smaller tasks so they don't pile up on us."
"True…but there's still something off about this…Ehh, who cares right now. She'll come here on her own time, but if she doesn't hurry then I'm eating her portions." Gisela yawned, leaning back in her chair.
"Don't do that. It's bad table manners." Candeloro scolded.
Gisela waved her hand in a dismissing manner. "Since when have I ever cared about that frilly stuff?"
"Still, a little etiquette would be appreciated."
"What's that? I didn't hear you."
Candeloro crossed her arms and sighed, deciding there was no point in trying to reason with her sector leader. It was times like this that the orange puff wished that she was the one in control. To have the other teammates come to her with their issues, for them to give her their unwavering respect and loyalty.
Of course, if Gisela were to find out of this wish, Candeloro might as well walk into the battlefield without armor and a weapon.
"So, Letty…finally found the weapon of your choice?" The black puff said while shoving pancakes in her mouth between words.
"Huh…what weapon?" The pink puff asked, an unsettling feeling rising in her stomach.
"The bomb. That's what your weapon is going to be, right? You're gonna use bombs from now on."
"WHAT?!"
A few heads turned at the blonde girl's outburst. She sunk into her chair, her cheeks red as the puff tried to make herself seem invisible.
"G-Gisela…that was an emergency…and sort of an impulse." She said quietly, nearly sliding under the table. "I can't use bombs!"
"Sure you can!" Gisela patted her on the back a little too roughly. "They aren't too heavy for you, and they cause tons of damage. Bombs are perfect."
"B-But…I don't know anything about bombs."
"Then study up on em'. You're smart…you'll figure it out." The smallest smile was on Gisela's unmasked face.
"Okay…if you really think I can do it." Letty looked at her feet with a shy smile and a blush. "Sir Meta Knight did tell me that I shouldn't give up so easily if I want to be a Star Warrior."
Letty wished she hadn't said that last sentence.
Gisela's mouth formed a thin line, her eyes narrowed. "Letty, we need to have that talk now."
The black puff stood up from her seat. "Candeloro, go find Shenandoah and meet us in our dormitory."
The orange puff sighed sadly, but complied with her leader's wishes.
As Gisela and Letty left the cafeteria, Garlude watched the two and shook her head. She hadn't heard the conversation, but she didn't need to in order to understand what was taking place.
"Sir Meta Knight…I don't like that. I really don't. Whatever Gisela is doing, it can't be good for her."
The blue knight's eyes glowed green…Worry.
"W-What did you want to talk to me about, Gisela?" Letty asked, twiddling her paws together nervously.
Candeloro and Shenandoah were nowhere to be found, so it looked like she was flying solo with this. The black puff didn't sound angry with her, but the tone of her voice sounded unnerving.
"Letty…do you like being a part of Sector S?"
"Y-Yes!"
"And do you want to contribute to the rebelling against Nightmare?"
The pink puff vigorously nodded.
"Letty…" Gisela said in an unnaturally soft voice. "…Do you trust me?"
"O-Of course I do!"
"If that's true…then please, listen to what I'm about to tell you."
The blonde felt a chill go down her spine. She couldn't recall ever hearing her say the word 'please' before.
"Listen…You can't get close to that knight ever again."
(watch?v=wN26LY-_rQs)
Letty's eyes widened. "B-But why?! Gisela, why?"
"Because, you're infatuated with him! And that's death for any amazon!"
"I am not infatuated with him! It's not like that…" The blue eyed puff frowned.
"You may think that now, but if I let it slide now then you'll find out the hard way later." The horned puff frowned, red pupiless eyes focused on the smaller puff in the room.
"Gisela…what is this about?" She asked, uncertainty evident in her vocal.
The black puff clenched her fists, teeth gritted. "Because I don't want you to make the same dumb mistake I-! …"
The larger puff suddenly fell silent. Letty could see something there in those red eyes, an unknown emotion.
"…You remind me so much of myself a long time ago."
This reveal surprised Letty, but continued to remain silent for her sector leader.
"Letty, I'm just gonna be upfront. No sugar coating. Amazons, women like us…we aren't like other females. We chose a life of independence, will, and most importantly strength…We chose strength over beauty."
(Author's Note: I just want to go out here and say that these are Gisela's beliefs, not necessarily the author's. Just thought I would let that be known.)
"B-But strong women can be beautiful too…"
Gisela barked a bitter laugh. "No, no they can't. Once you become an amazon, you can't be beautiful. No man will ever see you that way again."
Letty opened her mouth to speak, but no words would come.
"I'm telling you this now so you won't make a mistake. Letty, you're on your way to being an amazon too. And when that happens, it's death or die. The only time after that, the only reason a man would be interested is if they want to prove they can 'tame' you."
"A-And you think this is what my future is going to be?!" The pink puff yelled in confusion and shock.
"Letty, I don't think, I know." The black puff shook her head, her dark ponytail swaying. "I've seen it more times than someone can count. I've heard it. This is our future. And I didn't want you to be hurt by the revelation."
"Gisela…you're wrong. Sir Meta Knight was kind to me…he encouraged me…"
"Letty, open your eyes!" The horned puff slammed her fist into a table, nearly breaking the piece of furniture. "Do you know why?! It's because you're a pretty girl! Vulnerable! He was pitying you!"
"…He…he…isn't like that…He wouldn't…" Disbelief was entwined into her words.
Gisela gave a long sigh. "I knew that you would react this way…but it had to be said before it was too late for you. You can't get close to him…no. Not just him, but any man. It's better for you to know this now, then later when you've actually made an attachment…do you understand?"
"What is Gisela is right…? Why would someone like him want to be around someone like me in the first place? Was it just…pity? Pity for the weakling? Then turning to disgust when I get stronger?"
The more she thought about it, the more it made sense. Most of the males in the GSA had something against Gisela. They would speak of her brute strength, her size, her horns. It was rare enough for a puff to have horns, it was a sign of immense strength. But the black puff was a woman…if she was male, would they have treated her differently?
Would her rash blunt behavior be accepted, even embraced…if Gisela were male?
The red eyed puff continued her talk, almost in a daze. "I've seen so many of these warrioresses, they quit being a part of the army to settle down. I talk to them a while later, and they're miserable. It's…it's sickening to see these once proud women be reduced to helpless girls…all because their men wanted them to give up being a fighter for them."
Letty gulped. Puffballs had a very different culture and biology than other species. But one thing that stood out among them, was the fact that puffballs would mate for life. Once two puffs got married, they were almost eternally bound to each other and only to each other. There were a few rare exceptions to this, but usually two puffs would remain married, even if one was no longer living.
Because of this, choosing wisely was a golden rule. And war made several make very hasty and little thought out decisions.
Gisela held her gloved hand to her own forehead, black hair clinging to her forehead. "You know what? Letty, it's not an easy life…once you get strong, you also have a burden to bear. Candeloro is strong but still seen as beautiful. But so many don't take her seriously because of her looks. She's just a pretty face to men."
"And Shenandoah…she's smart and wise. But so little would listen to her on account of her gender. That's why she's so quiet. She won't waste her breath on those that are too ignorant and prideful to not listen to a woman."
The horned puff said in a low voice. "Letty, no man wants an amazon…"
The black puff suddenly turned away from the pink puff, refusing to face her. "And the worst part of it all. When they finally realize that you're strong…you're a freak. They…they start talking. Talking behind your back, sometimes to your face. A woman with muscles is something freakish, no, not even a woman at all…something not even deserving to be called female…"
Letty heard Gisela's voice break. The black puff's hands were shaking, violently even. But she still refused to look at her teammate. The pink puff was seeing her sector leader in a new light. This was an entirely new and hidden Gisela before her.
The black haired amazon suddenly spoke in a quiet forced voice. "Letty…you can't let anyone make you feel like garbage."
The blonde puff finally found the courage to speak. "…Is that what you feel like?"
She suddenly turned around in a fraction of a second. Letty could see a small crack in her mask, not the mask she wore with her armor, but the mask she used to keep everyone out. To keep them away from her heart and mind.
Her red eyes narrowed. "…I feel how I wanna feel."
A moment of uncomfortable, unbearable silence fell between them. It was almost suffocating. Letty was at a loss on what to do, she had never seen her leader like this before. Finally, after what seemed like a long painful eternity, the horned woman finally spoke.
"Letty, I'm not saying you have to hate his guts or anything. You don't even have to be rude to him. You can still be nice and stay away from him. I wouldn't have it any other way, really. But I just…I don't want to see you suffer later. You're too softhearted….and I do like that quality about you."
The pink puff's eyes widened, never expecting to hear that from her. She always thought that it was the thing she disliked most about the pink puff.
"But…Letty, you're at the very least two times a better person than I am." The black puff said in a low voice. "And I don't want you to be me…I want you to always be Letty…but, I don't want to see someone as purehearted as you get crushed…"
"Gisela." She cut her leader off. "I understand. Thank you for caring enough to tell me."
"…You're taking this a little better than I thought." She responded with a small grin. "…You're getting there, on the way to becoming an amazon."
"Gisela…I still haven't had breakfast."
The larger puff suddenly roared with laughter. :Alright ya little piglet! You're free to go! I'll catch up with you later. Oh, and tell Candy and Shany they're dead for ditching us!"
Gisela watched as the pink puff ran out of sight. She frowned, then sat down in the corner of the room. No one else was here, so now she had nothing to hide.
She inhaled, then exhaled. Trying to clear her mind. But the words in her head wouldn't be silenced.
"Freak.
Ugly.
That's a woman?
Ugh, I think it just looked at us.
Gross, women are supposed to be beautiful and domestic. Why aren't you? What makes you think you have the right to be different?
How do you expect to find a man when you look like one?"
Gisela curled up, feeling something wet go down her cheeks. "Shut up…just shut up…"
(watch?v=namEfgbSyW8)
Falspar drummed his hand over the workshop counter impatiently. With half opened eyes, he glared at the empty workspace behind the counter. With the other hand, he held a soda that he would take a sip from every few minutes.
The green puff frowned at the sign that said, 'Not In Service'.
"I know you're back there, Beta! Might as well be a man, come out, and face your end!"
No response from the locked door behind the counter.
"That's alright. That's alright." He took a long sip from his soda. "I have time to kill. I can wait for you all day. You have to eat sometime."
Still not a peep.
Falspar groaned, but still remained firmly planted in the workshop. He wasn't going to leave until he got what he needed from Beta…or until Falspar got hungry. Whatever came first.
He suddenly heard soft footsteps from behind. The red haired puff turned around to face Nonsurat, who was holding one of his shoulder guards. It had a large dent into it, probably from the fight with the Demon Beast on Aquarius.
Only strangely enough, Nonsurat seemed rather upbeat this day. The young man was usually so solemn, but today his unmasked face wore a bright smile. In fact, Falspar could bet that this is probably the happiest he's ever seen Nonsurat before.
"Good afternoon, Falspar!" He replied cheerfully. "Do you know where Beta is? I need my shoulder guard repaired."
"He's back there, but he won't come out. Coward." The green puff spat unhappily. "…Why do you need him to fix it anyway? You make armor all the time! You made your own armor and fixed it before! So why do you need Beta?"
"Well…" Nonsurat rubbed his own arm with his free hand. "I wanted to ask him something…"
"Oh…what kind of something?" Falspar asked, feeling that something interesting was near.
"…Advice."
"Nonsurat, why don't you just ask me. I can give you advice, and I've got time to kill." The puff with the mohawk grinned cockily.
"I don't know…" The other puff rubbed his arm again. "It's kind of a secret…"
Now Falspar definitely had to know.
"You can tell me! Besides, you can't tell a secret to Beta! He'll tell everyone! …That's why I'm here waiting…" He muttered the last line.
Nonsurat stared at the wall nervously, still reluctant to share his personal secret.
"Come on…you can tell me." Falspar grinned, taking another sip. He suddenly froze. "Wait…is this about your sudden mood change?"
"W-What about my mood? What's so different about it? I don't know what you're talking about…" The turquoise puff had a small tint of pink in his cheeks as he uttered a small nervous laugh.
"Dude, you've been grinning non-stop! You're upbeat, cheerful, and at least five times more social! Normally, you wouldn't even be talking to me right now!"
"I guess I just feel a little more outgoing today…" Nonsurat said quietly.
"Come to think of it, Meta Knight's been in a pretty good mood too. Of course, it's obvious why he's been more chipper since the mission…Waaaait…" Falspar was putting two and two together.
"Oh no…" Nonsurat thought with growing anxiety. "I need to think of an excuse…an excuse…"
"You have a crush on a girl, don't you?!" Falspar asked with a comical grin.
"N-No! W-What would make you think that?"
"Don't try to fool me! I know a guy with a crush when I see one!" The green puff threw an arm around the other puff. "So, who is she?"
"Uhh…Umm…I just remembered. I need to do laundry for our Sector. It was my turn for laundry duty, right?" The turquoise knight wiggled away from Falspar and tried to inch towards the exit.
"Hold on there." Falspar halted the young man. "Dragato already did the laundry. So you have no excuse!"
"Uhh…umm…please Falspar. It's supposed to be a secret…you'll make fun of me…"
"Hey…I wouldn't do that." The green puff smiled. "I know that I poke fun at a lot of you, but I wouldn't torment you over a crush…but you might have some trouble later depending on who the girl is…"
Falspar remembered that Dragato still had him under his thumb. If Nonsurat and Candeloro got together, then Dragato just might tell everyone Falspar's secret out of spite…or Nonsurat could help give Dragato amnesia if he helped him win over his girl! Yeah, that was a good plan.
"O-Okay…!" Nonsurat said, sitting down next to the red haired puff.
Falspar mentally went through a list of girls in the GSA. "…It's Shenandoah, isn't it?"
"Shenandoah? What made you think it was her?" Nonsurat said in a confused manner.
"Well, both of you are quiet. And your actions are worse than your words, or something like that. You two just seemed like a match." Falspar shrugged.
"No, she speaks a little more." Nonsurat hinted.
"Alright…is it, Garlude?"
"Isn't Garlude married?" The turquoise puff frowned. "I know that she has a child."
"Okay, so Garlude's out…" The green puff put his gloved hand to his chin. "Oh no…you don't like Letty, do you?"
"No, it's not Letty." Nonsurat shook his head. "She's a nice, sweet girl, though. I can see why Sir Meta Knight would like her."
"So, even Nonsurat sees it… Falspar inwardly chuckled. "Oh no…OH NOOO! The only one left is…Candeloro. That means Dragato will be mad if he finds out! Dragato will tell my secret if we don't give him amnesia! If we fail, then Nonsurat might have to help me hide the body… We'll have a full scale scandal going on here!"
Falspar tried to calm down. Perhaps it wasn't even one of the girls in Sector S. It could be a girl he saw in one of the other sectors. Then there would be no need for an inter-sector war, no fighting, no secret telling, no body burying…
"Okay Nonsurat. Just tell me who she is. I'm running out of girls."
"Uh….Umm…I…Well…it's…" The young man stuttered unintelligibly.
(Author's Note: Nobody eat or drink anything for the next few lines! I'm giving you fair warning.)
"Come on, just say it! I won't make fun of you!" Falspar took another long sip of his soda.
"It's…It's…the girl I like is…"
Nonsurat took a deep breath, Falspar leaned closer, taking a gulp of the drink.
"Gisela."
"BWAAAH?!" The green puff spat out his drink in surprise and alarm.
He stared at the turquoise puff, Falspar's expression a grand mixture of shock, disgust, and utter bafflement. All at the same time.
Then Falspar pinched his own skin. He slapped his face several times, then poured the remaining bit of soda on his face before continuing with the slapping. When his fit seemed to be over, he took a deep breath and closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry...Could you repeat that?"
"I said I like Gisela!" Nonsurat said louder and more firmly.
Falspar suddenly fell on the floor and began to shout. "SUPER ULTRA GREAT DELICIOUS WONDERFUL HARD TO UNDERSTAAAAAND!"
The green puff panted, his breath heavy after his unexpected flurry of random and unrelated words.
"Are you finished?" Nonsurat asked, raising an invisible eyebrow.
(watch?v=Ipp1LX6oPF8)
Falspar pulled himself up with a stool. He took off his glove to feel the other knight's forehead.
"You don't feel like you have a fever…your pulse seems normal. Oh, don't worry Nonsurat, buddy! We'll get you the best healthcare the GSA can provide! Let's go find a nurse!"
"Falspar, I don't feel sick. Well…maybe lovesick." He blushed.
"But…but why Gisela?!" The puff with the mohawk exclaimed.
"Why not Gisela?" Nonsurat questioned with a frown. "What's so wrong with her anyways?"
"Tell you what…why don't you tell me how this whole thing got started…" Falspar sat down, feeling no energy in his body to continue standing.
"Well…I guess it started when…when I first saw her. And the mission yesterday just made the feelings stronger…" Nonsurat said quietly, covering his blushing cheeks with his hands.
"Uh, Nonsurat buddy. Did you forget that she threw you across the ship in your sleep?" He pointed out.
"W-Well, that was mostly my fault. I invaded her personal space."
"…Why? Just…why? Why Gisela?" The green puff repeated with a flabbergasted expression.
"Because…there's just something about a strong woman…that's undeniably...enthralling…" Nonsurat breathed, his face a pleasant scarlet color.
Falspar couldn't believe what he was hearing. Nonsurat, the gentle timid puff, who loved gardening, sewing, cooking, and often sent letters to his little sister and the grandparents who raised him…was in love with cold, metallic, Demon Beast eater Gisela.
Falspar could almost hear a loud rip in the space time continuum. Reality would be falling apart at the seams any moment now.
"And her armor…she has good taste in armor. And I love how she isn't afraid to speak up. And the way she fought that Demon Beast…so incredible. Breathtaking even! I don't care if she does eat Demon Beast, she's still a remarkable woman for even being brave enough to eat one in the first place! So amazing…"
Falspar had never heard the young man speak or show that much emotion at one time before. And here he was, absolutely enamored by The Iron Fortress…
Nonsurat cleared his throat. "But…I don't have a chance, do I? I mean…what would someone like her find in someone like me?"
"I…I think you should go for it." Falspar said.
"Really?! You think so?" The turquoise puff said excitedly.
"Yeah, go for it buddy! I'm with you 100 percent!" He said, patting him on the shoulder
"Thank you Falspar! I feel so much better…wish me luck!" Nonsurat hopped off his seat and went towards the exit.
"Okay, go get er' big tiger." The green puff gave double thumbs up encouragingly. "You the man, you the fella. You the boss. You preach to her. Show her how the cow eats the cabbage…"
Falspar sighed and shook his head sadly once Nonsurat had left.
"You hopeless loser…"
Author's Note: Well, this chapter certainly had some mood whiplash.
I just have to say, Gisela's been through a lot in her lifetime. The army is really the only escape she has, and the only place where she's allowed to be herself and put her talents to use. After all she's been through, it only makes sense that she wouldn't want Letty to go through that too.
But...Nonsurat. Poor guy. We know what he's like in the future, so I think we all know what's going to happen.
The next chapter is undecided, as I'm not sure whether to got to the present or remain in the past.
Until then, keep your fingers crossed for a speedy update.
Leer Justice, out.
