I apologize for this chapter being so long. :( I know how most of you hate long chapters. But I tried my best to minimize it. I thought it was good, though. Thanks, by the way, to all my reviewers. You guys are the greatest. I havemn';t gotten a single bad review. You guys rock. I'll make a ChatLine 2 for you guys.

Both: What're you doing here?

(Silence)

Both: sigh

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: Bason mouthed off that I asked Yin-Ko for her number.

I-used-to-play-with-a-corpse: So I've heard. But you and Pirika go so much better together…

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: (blushing) we do not!!! I don't even like her!!!!

I-used-to-play-with-Kwan Dao's: yes, you do. Remember when Mother locked you up in your room for bad behavior, and she put extra chains on the wall so you wouldn't get out, and then Horo took advantage of that and started teasing you on the other side because he knew you couldn't get him. And then Pirika came along and gave him a skull fracture and an internally bruised arm, and he had to stay in the hospital for weeks because it turned out that she has also broken his left leg…

(Silence.)

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Ren?

(More silence)

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Lian?

(Even more silence)

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Little brother?

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: Ah, the good old days.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Hey, remember when Yuan was still our uncle and we were under his rule, barely able to enjoy life, always under constant pressure, always—

I/ play/with/Kwan Dao's: I get the idea (hates the subject) Hey, remember when Bailong nearly killed you after Yoh freed him fro being you're constant slave?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Hmph, I liked him better as a slave (grumpy).

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: By the way, what happened between you two? I thought you were the perfect, annoying, perky, irritating, lovey-dovey, gushy-ewie couple.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Well, he said something to me that changed everything that time (acts suspicious and mysterious)

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: What?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: It was so awful; I was forced to leave him…

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: What (curiosity rising)

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: He…

I/play with/Kwan Dao's: Yes?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: He…

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: Yeees…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: He…

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: (unable to bear the suspense) YES! YES! WHADDE DO????

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: HE INSULTED MY DRESS!!!!!

(Silence. More Silence. Even more silence)

I/play/with/Kwan Dao's: (Dooooooom--) that's—it. That's it? THAT'S IT???!!! You dumped the guy of your dreams because he INSULTED YOUER STUPID DRESS???!!!

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: yes! Isn't it so very awful?

(I/play/with/Kwan Dao's has logged off to stare at the wall and wonder why he was cursed with such an odd sibling)

(Shorty-pants logs on)

Shorty-pants: Hey, Jun.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Why, hello Manta. What's up?

Shorty-pants: Not much.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Hey, remember when I was still evil when I showed up in front of the movie theatre after you were watching a Bailong movie and you started crying like you were two?

Shorty-pants: Well, I guess… (Miserable). Hey! Remember when Ren talked about you behind your back that you were desperate to get a boy friend that you were flirting with your spirit ally?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: He did what????

Shorty-pants: Oh, nothing. Heh, heh, heh (sweat drops)

(Flames of Evil has logged on. LoYaL—SlAvE has logged on. Samurai's R cool has logged on)

Flames of Evil: What're you guys doing'?

Shorty-pants: Remembering…

Flames of Evil: Hey, remember the time I almost killed you guys?

Samurai's R cool: Yes, and then Yoh managed to kick your sorry behind…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Remember the time I dumped Bailong?

Shorty-pants: You mean like yesterday?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Well, yeah…

Flames of Evil: I can't blame you; the guy has purple skin, for Pete's sake. And those stitches. And that hair…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: And those clothes…and those ugly lifeless eyes…

Flames of Evil: (light bulb on top of head) you know, baby, you're not my type and all, but, heh, if you want a guy, I'm available…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: It's not like you don't have anything wrong with you! That long hair has got to go…

Samurai's R cool: Remember that time Yoh broke my sword?

Shorty-pants: Yeah, and you were moping for a week.

Samurai's R cool: I was not (embarrassed)

Shorty-pants: Remember the time I accidentally ate all of Horo's food?

Flames of Evil: And he couldn't stop yelling at you and because of that, for three days you became deaf.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: remember that time I wore baggy jeans and a T-shirt to the Shaman King announcement.

Flames of Evil: (whispering) Ren was hiding…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: excuse me?

Flames of Evil: Nothing. Nothing, heh, its nothing.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: didn't I look fabulous?

Shorty-pants: yeah, um, you looked great. (Whispering so Jun couldn't hear) We all hid in embarrassment.

Samurai's R cool: You looked strange, Jun…

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: (evil glare)

Samurai's R cool: But—but strange is good!! (Sweat-drop) Remember that day Yoh got sick?

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Yes, poor Yoh, Anna gave him such a hard time.

Shorty-pants: she sure did (shuddered at the thought)

Flames of Evil: I've never seen anyone treat Yoh that harshly. (Grins) Oh, she is so hot…

Shorty-pants: She doesn't even like you, Hao.

Flames of Evil: Rub it in, why don't ya? (Crying anime style)

Samurai's R cool: Remember that time I ate ice cream?

Shorty-pants: remember the time I fell on the street?

Flames of Evil: Remember that time I killed those people form Patch village?

LoYaL—SlAvE: REMEMBER THE TIME I PAINTED MY NAILS???!!!!

(All: silent)

LoYaL—SlAvE: Hello?

(Silence)

LoYaL—SlAvE: Helloooooooo?

(More silence)

LoYaL—SlAvE: Guys it was a joke.

Samurai's R cool: Yes, um, heh, heh, very funny, Bason. (Disturbed at the thought)

Shorty-pants: Yeah, great. Heh. (Incredibly disturbed)

Flames of Evil: I—think I'm gonna log off now.

I-used-to-flirt-with-a-corpse: Yeah, me too.

(Log off quickly)

LoYaL—SlAvE: sigh
