How long's it been? 2, 3 months? Gosh, I'm so sorry! I'm like failing school, so I can't write…anyways, here you go
Third Person
"Yes?" came the soft, sweet voice behind Monika's door.
She heard no response, but upon placing her ear to her door, Monika heard a slight shuffling of feet. She opened the door to find Slayn looking slightly embarrassed.
"Hello, Slayn. You're up so soon?" Monika said coolly, enough so that Slayn was worrying.
"Yeah," was all he could manage.
"That's good news. So, to what do I owe this pleasure?" Monika asked calmly, hiding the fact her mind was racing on what to say next.
"I…just wanted to see you," Slayn mumbled, though Monika heard clearly.
"Well, here I am. What can I do for you?" she asked.
Slayn said nothing, but he pulled the envelope she gave him. Monika's eyes brightened very slightly, but her face didn't show.
"Oh, that. I…" Monika was losing her cool, and Slayn was gaining some ground.
"I wanted to talk to you about that," Slayn said more calmly.
"Oh. Ummm…can we go to your room to talk about it?" Monika asked.
"S-sure, I guess."
At this point, Slayn was curious as to why Monika wanted to talk in his room, though he was smart enough not to ask. She simply wanted to hide the many tissues that covered her floor.
Slayn's Point of ViewI'm…really nervous. Monika wants to talk to me in MY room! What should I do? I think it's a tad messy, since I couldn't clean it since I was out like a donut. Oh my gosh oh my gosh what on earth should I say? How should I welcome her? I can't think of anything…oh, we're here.
Monika's Point of View
Slayn…he does care about me…why else would he have come in the middle of the night? Ohh, I'm so frightened! I have no idea what to tell him…oh no, we're already inside? This was hardly any time to organize my thoughts! Oh my, at least he's quite tidy…
"Slayn, why did you come to see me?" I managed.
"Huh? Oh, I, um…wanted to talk to you. That's all."
"Really…" I said. "Ummm….."
"What is it?" he asked me, sounding rather concerned.
"You…remind me of somebody. I can't quite put my finger on it…" I said.
"Me? Well, I don't know about that…not everyone is the Dark Master," he joked, trying to lighten up the situation. I laughed softly at that.
"Yes, I suppose," I replied.
"When do you think we'll find your father?"
Those words hit me harder than a frying pan with an egg in it. I suddenly jumped up, probably frightening whatever living daylights Slayn has left out of him.
"That's it!" I exclaimed.
"What's it? Huh? What? Ehhh?" Slayn sounded quite confused.
"You…you remind…me of my…Dad…" I said so softly, my voice trailing off.
Third Person, Hugh and Yayoi
"Hugh, why did you drag me off like that?" Yayoi exclaimed as soon as they were out of the apartment.
"I think we interrupted a rather important moment for Slayn when we…ahem, assaulted him," Hugh replied.
"A…rather important moment? What are you talking about?" Yayoi asked.
"Oh, nothing…oh! Let's go check out how Viktor's doing!" Hugh yelled.
"Okay…"
Hugh and Yayoi barged into Viktor's lab, startling the old man so much he fell backwards from his chair, knocked his head on the floor, and was out cold in a flash.
"…" They were not happy.
Slayn and Monika, Slayn's Point of View
"Y-your dad? How did that happen?" I asked.
"I don't know. It's your personality that's so like him…it makes me miss him so much…" Monika replied.
"I'm sorry you couldn't see him."
"Hm? Oh, no please don't feel sorry. It's not your fault. Besides, it makes me want to see him even more. I won't give up," she said confidently.
"And I'll help you at all costs," and as I said so, my confidence grew as well.
Flashback
"My mother died two years ago, and my father…he vanished. There's just no one I can turn to now…" Monika said.
"That must be so difficult," Slayn replied.
"I want to search for him. My father is still out there, and I won't rest until I find him."
"I will help you find him!"
She turned shyly at that, and said, "Thank you."
End Flashback
She flashed her warm smile at that.
Monika's Point of View
"Say, Slayn, do you mind if I do something…strange?" I asked shyly.
"Oh, sure," came his reply. He always seems so calm and kind…so like my father.
At that, I embraced him. He shuffled uncomfortably, and I smiled so slightly. He wrapped his arms around me, confused.
Slayn's Point of View
My mind was mercilessly racing. What could have made her hug me like that? Well, whatever it was, I'm definitely not complaining. I'd longed for her warm embrace for so long, it seems like I just melted.
"Dad…" she said softly.
Well, now it's obvious isn't it? I felt my heart sink like a lead balloon, but I still relished the moment and hugged her. She seems so frail and strong at the same time. I couldn't help but look up and smile.
Time: 5:00 A.M. Slayn and Monika spoke of their thoughts, while Hugh and Yayoi…
"OH, MY F-ING GOD, WAKE UP VIKTOR!" Hugh screamed at the top of his lungs.
"STOP YELLING, AND STOP F-ING CUSSING MORON!" Yayoi also screamed.
"Oh, like you're one to talk!" Hugh was obviously mad.
"Ugh! When is he waking up already?"
"Well how should I know?"
"Dah…oh my aching head!" Viktor moaned. He notices Hugh and says, "I remember! You just barge in lab and make noise!"
"Oh, he's awake. Umm…I can explain that!" Hugh stammered.
"Am going to…oh hello Yayoi."
"Hello Viktor. I am glad you've awakened." Yayoi returned to being calm.
After five minutes of arguing from Hugh and Viktor, things settle down.
"So, what brings you two to lab?" Viktor asked.
"Well, we were asking you how well the research was going…" Hugh mumbled, nursing the huge bump on his head.
"Is that right? Well, I might have lead."
"Really? Please, tell us everything you have found!" Yayoi exclaimed.
"Well, it starts like this. I have found a book, and you see, the medicine's effect is usually permanent. It shall not wear…usually. That is left to chance. However, there is cure for this." Viktor explained.
"A cure? Really? What is it?" Yayoi asked.
"Spill it, grump-pants!" Hugh chirped, his bump still hurting.
"Do not rush me, whiny boy! Now, cure is the mysterious water we found at the lake."
"Really? That's all there is to it? Well, that's not too hard! Let's GO!" Hugh exclaimed.
"Wait! Dah, boy still rushing me! Now, listen, that is only HALF of the cure. First, we make it into Ultimate Water…"
"See? THAT'S NOT TOO HARD!" Hugh was insanely hyper…
"I SAID WAIT! Kids these days, no respect! The other half is the Lobelika Root found in the cliffs not far from here."
"Cliffs?" Hugh sobered up. "The cliffs not far from here. Wait! That's where I found Slayn and that creep!"
"Really? Then you'll know where they are, Hugh!" Yayoi said.
"Is problem. Lobelika Root is extremely difficult to find. We may need to gather search party for this," Viktor explained.
"Okay, search party. Who should we send?" Hugh asked.
"Dah, is good question. Perhaps we should not take Monika. Do not want to get hopes too high, you see…"
"Well that's a good point. But should we take Slayn?"
"Not Slayn. Gray. Have read report of assassination of Annette's mother. Was searching for Lobelika Root when killed, you see. She brought Gray, and he look for root. Was unsuccessful, although he is more familiar with area."
"Okay, so everyone goes but Monika?" asked Hugh.
"Correct. That makes five people." Yayoi replied.
"All righty then, let's get this show on the road…"
Sorry if the script from the game is off. I haven't played in a year, so it's really fuzzy. And anyways, I hope that's good. Note: My computer was acting up, so this was delayed two weeks. Sorry mate.
