First of all, I KNOW I made a mistake in the last chapter. Yes, the DICK arced around Sharpedo. Let's all have a good laugh at my stupidity. Ahahaha. Now then, I'm not going to change it, because it's so funny! Anyways, let's move on with the story.

Chapter 17
"Kelly, there's something I need to tell you." Petal told me while we were sitting in our room.
"What?" I asked, frowning. This sounded really serious.
"It's just…" Petal said, frowning. "There's someone else."
I felt my blood run cold. I checked my pulse to make sure I was alive. Then I gulped.
"Who?" I managed to gasp out.
"Oh, no, it's nothing like that." Petal said, shaking her head. "It's just… Five years ago… I met this really cute kid at my sisters' wedding… And I… I kind of had feelings for him… I just thought you should know…"
"I understand the feeling." I said, nodding. "I met a girl when I was a kid too, at my cousins' wedding. I felt a sort of connection with her, too."
"Huh…" Petal said, sitting beside him. "So where do we go from here?"
"Well, has anything really changed?" I asked, frowning.
"Guess not." Petal said, standing up. "But if I ever see that girl, I'm gonna beat her black and blue."
"Same goes for that guy." I said, standing up as well.
"Fine!" Petal said.
"Fine!" I countered. The two of us stood there for a while, not saying anything.
"Well, I guess we do have a problem…" I trailed off, frowning.
"Kellyn!" Barlow shouted, knocking on the door, causing the two of us to flinch in surprise. "I need you to come with me! We got another mission!"
"Kelly…" Petal said, frowning.
"Sorry." I said, putting my hands on her shoulders. "I need to go."
"Don't go…" Petal's fragile voice whispered, but I had already stepped out.
"Hey, Petal, what's wrong?" Luana asked, walking up to Petal, who was lying on the couch, her face buried in the pillows.
"Luana!" Petal sobbed, tears falling down her red face. She hugged Luana, crying into her uniform.
"There there sweetie, what's wrong?" Luana asked, rubbing Petal on the head.
"What's wrong?" Petal asked, frowning sitting up suddenly (a little to suddenly to be unrehearsed) "I'll tell you what's wrong."
Oh boy… Luana thought, frowning. Did I step into that one…
"Well, it's just that Kelly has these two moemon, Nyu and Kurou." Petal said, frowning. "They're so clingy and possessive, they take up all his time."
"Hey, I'm right here." Kurou said from the table, upset that Kellyn had taken Nyu out on his mission.
"Well, they monopolize him!" Petal sobbed. "I never get to spend any time with him, and he's MY boyfriend!"
"Sweetie, it's just that Kellyn's a really duty-bound guy." Luana said, frowning. "He takes his job as ranger seriously. Now, if you just tell him what's going on…"
"No!" Petal said, shaking her head fiercely. "No way! He's never going to hear about this! Never! I don't want him to know how much I miss him, and how much I want him… and his fit, muscular body… his chocolate hair… his warm eyes… Oh, Luana, I just love him so much!"
"Yeah, I can tell." Luana said, chuckling. "See, sweetie, everyone can tell that you two are totally in love. But that's not the issue here, is it?"
"…No." Petal said, shaking her head. "There is something else."
"I have time, sweetie." Luana said, picking up her coffee mug. "Tell me all about it."
"Well, it turns out that when Kelly was a kid, he had a crush on this girl he met at a wedding." Petal said, frowning. "So if he's looking at other girls, I'm afraid he might… leave me…"
"I think you're over thinking this, sweetie." Luana said, laughing.
"What do you mean?" Petal asked, frowning.
"I've seen the way he looks at you." Luana said, smiling. "He loves you more than anything in the world. He wouldn't leave you for anything."
"Are you sure?" Petal asked, smiling.
"Definitely." Luana said, nodding. "He loves you."
"Thanks Luana." Petal said, smiling. "Now, I just hope we can mend our relationship."
"Oh, don't worry your pretty little head." Luana said, scratching Petal's head affectionately. "As long as you have love, you can make it through anything."
"Luana…" Petal said, frowning. "That sounds to cliché. Don't think I'm gonna do it."
"Well, that's acceptable." Luana said, smiling. "Well, let's just wait for Kellyn to come back, alright?"
"Alright." Petal said, smiling. "And when he comes back, he's gonna pay for having thoughts of another woman."
"Wow, that's pretty scary…" Luana said, frowning. "I feel really bad for Kellyn… I hope he doesn't die…"
"Oh, don't worry…" Petal cackled, smiling. "He won't die… I'll only kill him three-fourths of the way…"
Good luck, Kellyn… Luana thought, frowning. You're gonna need it…
"I could really use some luck…" I gasped, panting, pulling myself up one of the Peril Cliffs. "How much longer till we get to the disturbance?"
"Not much farther…" Barlow panted.
"You're really overweight, Barlow…" I said, frowning.
"Shut up Lu." Barlow frowned.
"Not Lu, it's me. Kellyn." I said, frowning.
"Alright, then shut up, Kellyn." Barlow said, frowning.
"Yes sir…" I sighed.
"Let's go." Barlow said. "The tremors are getting closer." Suddenly, the stone cliffs began shaking like an earthquake, nearly knocking Barlow and I off of the cliffs and onto the sharp rocks below.
"Look out!" I exclaimed, pushing Barlow (no small feat) out of the way of the rock slide.
"Thanks Kellyn." Barlow said. Another tremor shot through the cliffs, Barlow and I charged down until we reached an enormous rock wall, where two enormous moemon were breaking through the cliff side.
"What's going on here?" Barlow exclaimed, frowning.
So, Petal and Kellyn are having romance troubles? That's not very good. Will they make it work?
