A week went by since Aloysius started his trip, and he was not getting any closer….

"Ich kann nicht glauben, dass Boot ging nach hinten! -.-" he yelled, as he walked off a ferry into Russian soil.

The ferry slowly sailed off until it busted with fire, then exploding.

"Heh, that'll teach them to send me on a wrong ferry, in hopes of catching mine." Aloysius growled, walking into a bar.

The men and women of the pub cheered and danced around with vodka, whiskey, and other alcoholic beverages in their hands.

"….Jeder Haushaltsauflösung!!" Aloysius yelled, breaking a glass on the table.

The people stopped dancing and looked at him, puzzled.

They muttered to each other in Russian, while a big burly grizzly bear approached him.

"What makes you think you can push us out of our bar?" he asked in his deep Russian accent.

"The fact that I'm better then you street scum…." Aloysius said, pushing the bear back a few feet.

The bear stumbled and growled, and charged at Aloysius. Aloysius took a stance and waited for the right moment. When the bear was close enough, Aloysius pushed himself off the bear's head and in mid-air took out his blade and thrust it into the bear's back.

The bear let out a low gasp, and crashed over some tables, dead.

The crowd gasped, and backed a few feet.

"Now I think we understand each other…." Aloysius said, dusting himself off, retrieving his blade.

Two men from the crowd ran up to Aloysius with stools.

"You're serious?...." Aloysius scoffed and did a matrix 360 twist between them and grabbed their heads and clonked them together.

The weary men stumbled around and fell to the ground.

Aloysius just slowly turned to the crowd, his eyes shimmering in the dim light.

Without a word they all rushed out into the cold night, leaving the place to him.

" Ahhhhhh……schließlich einige Zeit allein." he said, kicking up a stool and using it as a foot stand on a nearby couch.

The two men that were only knocked out slowly woke up to find Aloysius pointing a pistol to them.

"Well I hope you enjoyed you're night fellows, for this is you're last." Without warning he blasted them both, one in chest, one in the forehead.

He sighed and put his gun away, but replaced it with a communication device.

"Sergeant, sammeln einige Männer und Kopf auf diese Koordinaten." Aloysius breathed into the communication device.

"Jawoh!" A voice called back out to Aloysius, then turned off it's end.

Aloysius sighed and folded his hands together, going into a light sleep.

"How much does this bass cost?" I asked a local fish merchant.

"26.70" the fish merchant answered.

I put the money on the table and he handed me my fish.

I walked down the boardwalk, with a smile on my face.

"Ember will love these gifts, and I'll sign them as "Secret Admirer". It's brilliant!" I thought to myself.

I walked into the next store and purchased lavender smelling perfume, as the gift the card would be tied to.

I walked into the last store, a jewelry store.

"Oh all these are nice, but which one?" I pondered out loud to myself, looking over the diamonds.

Then something caught my eye, it shimmered from across the room.

I walked over to it, and there it was.

A large ruby heart pendant, with a gold chain. It sparkled so much, that it reminded me of her fiery passion.

"oOo!.....ok this is the one!!!" I shouted nervously.

I ran up to the cashier and purchased the necklace. It may have cost and arm and a leg, but it was worth it in the name of love.

---

I ran home with my gifts, luckily Ember was out with the others.

I threw up a quick sappy haiku on a crimson card, attached the perfume to it. I wrapped the bass in newspaper, with the necklace in a velvet box. I put all of these on her pillow, then ran downstairs and waited for their arrival…..

Ah man I smell love or is that lunch? Either way Ember will find out soon of what I think of her :D!! I hope it happens before Aloysius's men show up o.o!!!
