EoS: Well, I only got two reviews, so I'm kind of bummed out now. Please review.

Lauren: What next, are you going to beg them?

EoS: …No. No, I'm not going to beg.

Lauren: That's why you don't get reviews.

Mr. Brandloyal:

EoS: Good.

KingSkyTheGreat:

Lauren: He is very lucky. EoS is not as lucky.

Aurore's Moemon Adventure

Chapter 91

"Aurore, how's it going?" Lulu asked, peering over Aurore's shoulder. Aurore was typing rapidly into the keyboard of his laptop, a cube of data streams rotating on his screen. His computer was plugged into another machine, which was analyzing the contents of the Genesis Crystal strapped into it.

"Not very well…" Aurore said, frowning. "I've managed to access the central helix of the crystal, but I can't seem to be able to rewrite its capabilities… It's very frustrating."

"Yeah, just listening to you explain it to me is pretty frustrating." Lulu said, frowning. "Well, good luck, Aurore. Hopefully you'll be able to take down the barriers around that thing, right?"

"No…" Aurore said, frowning. "No, I can't. There is literally nothing I can do. Every time I try to access the core, it rewrites its data and restarts from the beginning. I've tried every known method to access it, and none of them work. Then, I tried methods NOT known to anyone on the outside world, and I STILL couldn't access it. It seems that Bryce put his effort into making sure that no one could access his masterpiece."

"Well, that sucks." Sakura said, frowning. "Anyways, what should we do? How are we going to find Shaw?"

"I don't think we'll need to find him." Aurore said, frowning. "Shaw is looking for me, so he'll come after us. We just need to wait."

"Yeah, that sounds good." Sora said, smiling. "Anywhere we can spend the next few nights to sleep while we wait for our battle with Shaw?"

"Yeah, there's a moemon center." Sakura said, shrugging. "You guys can stay there."

"But it's such a long walk…" Bluebell sighed.

"Yeah, we'll just crash here." Rin said, shrugging.

"What do you have in the fridge?" Prima asked curiously, opening her refrigerator.

"LEAVE." Sakura said, frowning, an irritation mark throbbing on her head.

"Come on, can't we stay here one night?" Sora asked, frowning, staring at Sakura, her eyes shining expectantly.

"…Fine, just one night…" Sakura sighed.

Sakura walked over to her closet and pulled out a lot of blankets, laying them over on the ground, so everyone could sleep peacefully.

"Can I sleep in your bedroom?" Aurore asked, frowning, staring at Sakura, his eyes shining expectantly.

"Not a chance." Sakura leered at him. "You stay here."

"Fine…" Aurore sighed. "I guess I'll just sleep in here with a bunch of moemon who want to have sex with me."

"…" Sakura was silent, as she weighed the options between sleeping on the couch and being kept up all night by Aurore and his moemon going at it through the thickness of a wooden door.

"Actually, be my guest." Sakura said, frowning. "I'll get more sleep on the couch. Lock the door, okay?"

"This door doesn't have a lock." Aurore said, frowning.

"I know." Sakura said, shutting him in her room. She slapped a large padlock on the door, smirking. "Now it does."

"Well then, it's about time we turn in, I guess…" Sakura said, shrugging.

"But we wanna watch TV!" Sora whined.

"Yeah!" Bluebell said, frowning.

"SLEEP." Sakura glared.

They turned down the lights, and the girls all climbed onto the large mattress of blankets and prepared to fall asleep.

"…" Aurore waited for the girls to become silent, and walked towards the window.

"Now then." Aurore opened the window, and climbed out.

Aurore turned to the window, and frowned.

"I'm sorry, guys. But I can't let you all be caught up in my battle." Aurore said, frowning.

"Aurore." Aurore turned around and saw Lulu standing there, frowning.

"Lulu." Aurore said, frowning. "What are you doing here? I thought you should be sleeping."

"You know, Sora couldn't fall asleep without you." Lulu said, frowning. "Just because Darkness has been removed from her body doesn't mean that she isn't afraid of the dark still. You should have been with her."

"I know." Aurore said, frowning. "Sora went through so much pain due to Shaw, because I couldn't protect her. I won't become unable to protect her again. Instead of keeping her with me for now, I decided to leave her behind, leave all of you behind."

"…I don't believe this." Lulu said, glaring at him. "You think that you can just run away from us like that? We're your friends, Aurore, we want to help you."

"Oh, please." Aurore said, laughing. "You and I aren't friends. And you DEFINITELY don't want to help me."

"Aurore…" Lulu said, staring at him, frowning. "Can't you see it?"

"See what?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"Haven't you seen anything lately?" Lulu asked, frowning. "About me? From me?"

"…" Aurore remained silent.

"Well, you know…" Lulu said, frowning. "Something… about how I'm looking at you in a different way?"

Aurore still continued to say nothing, Lulu getting more and more flustered.

"Haven't you ever thought that something might have changed about the way I thought about you when we were kids?" Lulu asked, frowning. "You know…"

Aurore continued to remain silent, Lulu sighing in defeat.

"Listen, I'll do you this one favor." Lulu said, turning away from Aurore. "I won't tell them where you've gone. But in exchange, I want you to promise me something."

"What?" Aurore asked, frowning.

"Promise me you'll come back in one piece, okay?" Lulu asked, looking down, tears falling from her eyes. "Please…"

Aurore was silent for a long time, the only sound being Lulu's tears dripping onto the concrete.

Suddenly, Aurore wrapped his arms around Lulu and pulled her into a warm hug, Lulu flustered from the sudden spooning.

"Of course I'll come back alive." Aurore said, smirking. "Who the heck do you think I am, anyway?"

"…Yeah…" Lulu said, nodding.

EoS: Well, that was nice. Will Aurore make it back alive?

Lauren: Kind of hard for him NOT to make it back alive, honestly.
