A/N- Thanks to all who have been reading my story! More details after the chapter!!

Chapter 7

Epros

"Since when was Rosalyn the boss of me? The only leader I'll follow is Ari!" Epros was sitting in his tent (not floating, for once) contemplating on who exactly was the head of the ragtag group of misfits they called a team. He could've sworn that it was Ari. Not Rosalyn. So, he tried to figure it out… but it didn't help that he was slightly sleep deprived.

And it reallydidn't help that Linda was singing right next to his tent.

"ALL THE MEMORIES, I HAVE ARE BEAUTIFUL IN MY MIND…"

Sometimes Epros would swear that she was tone deaf.

He started franticly searching though the CD's that he had in his tent. "Any song, anything is all I ask, to mute this ghastly singing, it's only task!" He found one that looked like it would do the job, so quicker than Rosalyn could point a rapier at Stan; he popped it into the CD player and pressed play.

Six minutes later…

Epros was crying.

.It was like the song could read his mind. Could tell what he thought about Linda-and just how much she changed him.

And just how much he needed her.

"...Then I crashed into you, and now I'm up in flames..."

Ah, this song; he didn't know why, but this song… It just… touched him. Deep

"...Could've been the death of me, but then you breathed your breath in me..."

He really loved Linda... it was just that sometimes she racked his nerves to the core...

"...like a runaway train, you will consume me, but I can't walk away..."

But no matter what, she knew just the right thing to do to make him happy again, whether it was a peppy pep-talk, a cheer, a nice snack (she cooked way better than she sang,) or even just a kiss on the cheek.

He just couldn't walk away, just like the song said.

"...You saved me, you gave me, just what I need..."

Linda did save him, by giving him what he needed...

Herself.

He would never forget that...never...

"EPPY!!!"

But he did forget that Linda was next door.

"What?" He realised that he didn't rhyme; he usually doesn't when he's scared half to death.

Which is saying something, since he couldn't die. (A.N. yes, I know I used this in the last (actual) chapter, I want to use it again...)

Linda's eyes begain to water. "I'm sorry, I just wanted to give you the CD that I picked for you..." She handed him the CD. "Here,... I won't bother you again..."

And with that, she ran out the tent.

Epros threw the CD onto his mat and chased after her. "Linda, Linda!"

Just as she was about to go into her tent, Epros grabbed her by the arm, and said,"Linda, thou leaving was not thy intent-to make thee sad was not what I meant!"

Linda bliked. "Really?"

"Why would I lie to you? What I speak is true." Epros took Linda's hands into his own. "The truth is that I love thee, and I'm wondering if you'ld stay with me."

Linda started to smile. "Like a girlfriend?"

"Yes...." Epros didnt even have time to rhyme.

"OHMYGODYESYESYESYESATHOUSANDTIMESOVERYESAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!!"

Epros smiled. There was just no replacing his Linda. He looked deep into her eyes, and for the first time, he was going to...

End the chapter.

The song in this chapter is "crashed" by Daughtry. The whole song kinda fits these two, since suposingly at the end of the game they get together... Hmmm.

A.N. : Yes, I know, a long wait for so short of a chapter... I'm sorry! Hopefully the next chapter won't take as long. It was Epros fault anyway...he didn't like any of the songs that I picked.

And as for my next story, I will be posting a sniplet of it later on in the week, so please tell me what you think of it!!

And don't forget to review!!
