A/N: Thanks for all the loyal reviewers!

Disclaimer: I don't own ToS. If I did, Kratos would've exploded by now. -evil chuckle- I don't own anything else except Amy.

I'm writing this chappie on WordPad because my oh-so-evil Microsoft Word program shut down, so please pardon any spelling mistakes.

Okay, so I broke my promise about poking Kratos... But he's so fun to poke. I have a feeling he's near eruption point. His eye's all twitchy. I back up and grin. He reminds me of Itachi from Naruto. Speaking of which, I have memorized most of the Fighting Dreamers theme. (I've probably got some of it wrong, but who cares! It annoys Kratty.)

"We are fighting dreamers, takerumi mezashite! Fighting dreamers, narifuma ka mawazu, fighting dreamers, shinjiri gao mamani, Oli oli oli oh, Just go my way!!!" I sing this in my best Japanese singing voice, thoroughly annoying everyone's favorite purple mercenary.

As of now, we are treading a path to... uh... I forgot the name of the place. I... Iowa... Nah... I... IZOOLD! That's it. Anyway, we're going to Izoold. I haven't brushed my teeth in a long time and it's really pissing me off. I loop my arms around the neck of a certain red-clad swords man and lean on him, grinning.

"What are you doing, Amy?" he asks, red. I respond immediately.

"Figuring out how much hair gel you use for this 'do." I poke the pointy strands, expecting it to crack like porcelain when you drop it. I wonder if Venus Tenshi ever found out if it'll break when he runs into a wall... Heh, that'd be funny.

I let go of Lloyd and walk over to Kratos. He edges away, seeing what I did to Lloyd.

"...No."

"Hai, you're not gettin' away that easily, uronstakichi!" (I'm not sure if I spelled that right.)

"What's 'hai' and 'ooronstakeechee' mean?" asks Kratos right before pounce and knock him to the ground.

"Kyeheh! Yatta, watashi wa ichiban!" I spout in japanese. ('I did it, I'm number one!')

"What the hell does that mean?!" he demands suddenly, whacking me off. I go flying and hit a tree.

My hair's all messed up now. Cue evil woman.

"KRATOS, YOU BASTARD..." The males of the party shrink back and the girls giggle slightly.

"Um..." mouths Kratos, lost for words for the first time in his life. He must've experienced this with Anna. No girl can go without whacking their boyfriend a few times. It's fun.

"YOU RUINED MY HAIIIIIR! KUSOOOO!" (Dammit!) I run after him as he runs for dear life. When I finally catch up, I strangle him for a little before letting go and grabbing Lloyd, holding my scythe up to his neck.

"I've got a hostage, you ass! Now... Give me a cookie for my troubles or the boy dies!" I cackle maniacally as Kratos sweatdrops.

"Fine..." he pulls out a bag marked 'Amy Bribes'. My eye twitches. Have I done this THAT many times that he has to have a special arsenal of cookies?! He pulls out a big one and hands it to me. I grab it and stuff it half way in my mouth, letting a shocked Lloyd go.

Raine goes up to Kratos.

"Why do you have a bag marked 'Amy Bribes'?"

"You'd be surprised at the amazing number of times she's taken a hostage and demanded cookies."

"Ah. You know her then?"

"...Sadly."

I pop out from behind Kratos, a maniacal smile on my face.

"I'm not THAT bad, am I, Krattyyyyyyyy?" I turn my face to puppy dog eyes and whine. He smirks and shoves his hand in my face, which was propped on his shoulder.

"Yes."

Ouch.

Anyway, we EVENTUALLY get to Izoold after a crapload of walking.

Short but I'm already done with chapter 8.
