Still no romantic closure just yet…so this little "saga" is going to drag into March some as well. Still, it's pretty entertaining to me, so I assume I'll be forgiven by you lovely readers. Enjoy the pun at the end.
Chapter 22: When in Rome
"Shiki…I'm so tired right now."
"What's the matter, Rhyme?"
"Neku and Beat have been acting really strange lately over…certain things. It's just getting to be a real pain for me; I don't really know how to help them right now. I can't even relate to them anymore!"
"Oh…well, what would you tell Beat if he was the one asking you for advice about this?"
"Hmm, probably 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do.' He wouldn't understand that of course…"
"But you do! So, just take your own advice and things will be okay!"
"Hmm, I suppose I could do that…"
2 Hours Later…
"Yo, err, Rhyme?"
"Mmm, what's up, Beat?"
"I, err, why the hell is Phones unconscious on the couch?"
"I drugged him."
"You…huh?!"
"Yeah, I mean, you and Neku seemed pretty cozy with your girls, so I wanted some action too."
"That…does that explain why he's not wearing a shirt?"
"Yeah."
"And why you're on top of him?"
"Yup."
"And why you're snugglin' up against him?"
"Mhm."
"Oh…I'm, uh, just gonna walk away now…"
"Okay."
"Wait a sec…could I draw a penis on his face before I leave?"
"Go nuts."
