Whee.

I think I'm doing too many romance fics. Honestly. Last time I tried out Angst/Drama in a D. Gray Man chapter, everyone was like, "Don't EVER try that again. Unless you want one less reviewer."

Again, I've been banned from the Xbox. And even if I wasn't, I hardly have time. Thus, I shall make this chapter rather short.

"The winner's the one who goes first, yeah?"

Dave winced at this horrid line. Yes, the bunch of them were fighting a group of monsters, and Rush just HAD to bring out his stupid line.

"Rush, I appreciate the attempt to boost morale, butplease pick nicer and more sensible lines?"

Just then, one of the creeps snuck up on Dave's division and attacked Dave.

"GASP. How DARE you!" David yelled in his slightly irritatingly calm noble voice as an insensible amount of blood spewed out from his stomach, but miraculously his shirt was unstained.

Rush rolled his eyes. "Like, as if THAT wasn't totally inappropriate for an exclamation, after you've been hit. Something more like, 'YOWCH!', or ...something..."

Then Rush rushed (yes, this is why you shouldn't call your characters things like 'Rush', or 'Dash', or 'Walker'...) toward one of the monsters and delivered a critical blow, which was followed by a horribly pathetic attack from one of the soldiers he'd hired.

"What are you DOING!" Rush demanded, as he dodged a blow.

Dave rolled his eyes. "This is not wise to say if you wish to boost morale!" Then he struck at the enemy.

Suddenly, Blocter yelled, "Mm! That looks...GOOD! Muah...HA!!!"

Rush and Dave exchanged weird looks..."That, Dave, has GOT to be the WORST phrase in this entire game...EVER."

Dave nodded in response. "I have GOT to compose a book of acceptable phrases...and "The winner's the one who goes first, yeah?" is NOT going to be one of them!"

Rush growled. "Ya think I'm gonna let you write a horrid book like THAT?!"

It took both enemy and 3 friendly unions to break the two boys whacking each other with weapons like childish teens...

This was suggested by Keira-93. Just so you know.

After the fight, they passed a beach.

"Awesome! A beach!" Rush rushed (SEE WHAT I MEAN?!) toward the sand, tearing off his shirt in the process. Everyone eye twitches.

Rush leapt into the water. David approached warily. "There may be sharks in there..." he mentioned, quietly.

Rush sighed, then splashed water straight into Dave's eyes. Dave had learnt that screaming when something splashed on you was not wise, since it could start World War One (it was a long time ago, right?) in the castle. Instead, he kicked water onto Rush.

After a short water fight, Dave got seriously drenched. Emmy was sunbathing with her boots off, Blocter was swimming about (he's like a fish thing...) and Torgal was...sharpening his knives. Sigh...

Rush sighed. "Dave, you're gonna die from a chill or something. You have GOT to take off that cloak...dress...thingy."

Dave was too shocked about the prospect of having to strip in public, that he ignored Rush's comment about his "Dress thing". "I can't possibly unclothe myself HERE!"

Random fangirl number #342 screams from under the sand. "STRIPTEASE! STRIPTEASE! STRIPTEASE!"

David tensed. "Who said that?"

Rush waved it away. "C'mon...just take it off. There ain't any one who's gonna go...fanatical."

Just then, a wind blew across, chilling David to the bone.

"Eek. Maybe I shall."

"Haha, finally. What, you think I'm some kind of gay perv?"

Dave took off his 'dress' and folded it nicely and placed it on a relatively not so sandy rock. Then he dived into the water next to Rush.

"Oh shoot, I forgot I haven't swam for like, 5 years!" David bubbled as he sank under the water.

Rush rolled his eyes, walked to where Dave sank, and the water was up to his stomach, reached into the water and grabbed a gasping Marquis out of the shallow water.

Dave was washed over with relief (and sea water...mostly the seawater, actually). "I owe you my life, Rush."

Rush sighed. "Dude, you are standing in the shallow bit of the beach, and you're drowning."

Dave looked down, looked at Rush, then looked down. He set down his feet, and heaved a sigh of relief when it touched solid ground/sand.

Rush released the boy's arm. "Right, let's go for a swimming lesson!"

At the request of the Marquis of Athlum, the following scenes shall be blocked. Unfortunately, due to the Marquis' limited knowledge of technology, we are able to bring you the audio.

"Dave, so swing your arms like this in the water..."

"Like this?"

"-splash- ARGH MY EYES!!!"

"My dearest apologies Rush..."

----

"You're getting it..."

"I am pleased!"

"Now try doing it in the water!"

"..."

"...um, Dave? This is the time you start swimming in the sea?"

"...Ooookay...Rush..."

splash splash.

"...like this, Rush?"

"No, harder! Stronger strokes!"

"...now?"

"HARDER!"

"(splash splash splash) (pant pant) NOW?!"

"HARDER YOU MORONIC MARQUIS! WATER RESISTANCE IS HUGE!"

o0o0o0o0o0o

So they spent their day there. The End.

o0o0o0o0o0o00o

If you didn't get the "WATER RESISTANCE IS HUGE!" bit, it's from this Death Note parody, where Light is splashing in the puddle before he dies...yeah.

REVIEW!
