Here's another chapter. Banter between Aurore and Lulu for the most part.

TheLightningPunisher: Good for you.

RandomDragon: No. No we did not.

Electrifry: They do it to me all the time.

Moemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia

Chapter 45


"Hello, Aurore." Lulu said, standing up, frowning. "I thought I saw something evil back there. Looks like I was right."

"Oh, come on." Aurore said, smiling. "I'm not evil. You're just acting like that because you haven't seen me in so long."

"No. No I'm not." Lulu said dryly, glaring at Aurore.

"Wow, I didn't know that those two had history." Petal said, surprised. Her surprised face is cute…

"Oh, yes, a great history." Aurore said, smiling. "We're old friends."

"Well, 'friends' is a little…" Lulu said, frowning. "Anyways, why are you here?"

"Why to see you of course!" Aurore said, smiling brightly.

"Why are you here?" Lulu asked, her voice filled with a malice I didn't think possible from any girl other than Petal.

"I needed to check on something." Aurore said. "After all, you saw the darkness back there with your own two eyes."

"…So that's what I saw." Lulu said, frowning. "And here I thought you were the only creature with a black soul in here."

"Aw Lulu, you're too harsh on me." Aurore said, smiling. "But that tough side of yours is what makes you so cute~"

"I'm going to kill you." Lulu said, walking towards Aurore. If Petal hadn't grabbed onto her arm and held her back, I don't even know what would have happened.

"Keep being angry at me." Aurore said, walking up to her, stroking her cheek. "Your anger brings out the beauty inside of you."

"I STILL HAVE MY OTHER HAND!" Lulu exclaimed, socking Aurore across the jaw with the hand Petal wasn't holding back.

"Wow…" Aurore said, rubbing his jaw. "It didn't hurt, but damn… You get me hot."

"That doesn't make me happy!" Lulu exclaimed, Petal moving to hold both of her arms back as Lulu tried to lunge for Aurore.

"Alright, since Lulu found the right way out, you guys should better go the way she found." Aurore said, smiling. "And whatever you do, you guys make SURE you don't go that way. If you do, I guarantee that you'll end up in the biggest… heh… nightmare of your life."

"Stop giving away the plot!" Lulu exclaimed.

"Now then, Ladies, Gentlemen, Mini-Witch…" Aurore said, smiling.

"Oh you are so dead." Lulu said, narrowing her eyes, glaring at Aurore.

"As I was saying…" Aurore sighed. "It's been fun, but now I must bid you adieu. Hina, let's go."

"Hey Lulu…" Hina said, blushing shyly, half-waving at Lulu, whose face seemed to brighten at the sight of the moemon.

"Alright, pleasantries out of the way…" Aurore said, smiling, he and the glowing moemon walking into the dark tunnel we'd come out of."

"I'm glad Hina is happy." Lulu said, smiling. "I just wish she could have found a better guy than that asshole."

We all stared at Lulu for a while. A good long while. I, personally, couldn't believe it.

"What?" Lulu asked, looking at us like we were crazy. Funny, because we were looking at her like SHE was crazy.

"What the heck happened with you and Aurore?" I asked, shocked. "I mean, I know he's an asshole-"

"Damn straight he's an asshole." Petal interjected.

"I know he's an asshole, but damn… What's with all the hate?" I asked, frowning.

"Alright, to be perfectly honest, it's not really anything." Lulu said, frowning. "It's just… I've known him for a really long time, and I just can't stomach the sight of him."

"Really? Why not?" Keith asked, frowning.

"Really? Why not?" Petal asked, frowning.

"Remember how I can read people's auras?" Lulu asked, frowning.

"…No…" Petal said, shaking her head.

"Oh, right, that was the other story…" Lulu muttered. "Anyways, I can read people's auras by looking at them."

"You can? Seriously?" Mary asked. "Show me! Can you read my aura? Huh? Canya?"

"Not this again…" Lulu muttered. "Listen, we can't waste two chapters in two different stories showing off my powers, so can we just assume you guys all believe me when I say I can read the auras of all living things?"

"Uh… sure." Keith said, shrugging. "Not a big deal."

"No one's talking to you, retard." Lulu said, frowning.

"Hey!" Keith fumed. "You can't just mock me whenever you want!"

"…Yes." Lulu said, smiling. "Yes I can."

"Hey!" Keith exclaimed. "I am a moemon ranger, and you will respect my authority!"

"Uh, that'd be a no." Lulu scoffed, turning away. "Anyways, Kelly!"

"Yes?" I asked, my face going pale.

"See that Electabuzz over there?" Lulu asked, pointing at the electric moemon standing in front of the jagged outlet, who was single-handedly lighting the room. A major oversight on our part, seeing as how that flashlight moemon had left with Aurore.

"Yeah…" I said, nodding.

"Well, I happened to convince her to help us!" Lulu said, rubbing her face against mine. "Aren't I just that awesome?"

"Rrrr…" Petal growled, grinding her teeth.

"Aw, look who's trying to look threatening." Lulu cooed, smiling. "Sorry sister, but you need to keep a man glued down in you want to keep him."

"Yeah, well, having to spend fifteen years of my life living with my two sisters has taught me something." Petal said, smiling. "If someone tries to take your boyfriend from you, you respond by beating them up."

"Wait, you wouldn't happen to be Leaf's sister, would you?" Lulu asked, her eyes brightening.

"Um, yeah. How'd you know that?" Petal asked, shocked.

"You look just like your sisters." Lulu said, smiling. "I knew Sakura back when she was still innocent, and I went to private school with Leaf."

"Whoa, seriously?" Petal asked. "But you're so…"

"Young? Beautiful?" Lulu asked, smiling. "I know, I know."

"Short." Petal said, frowning.

"Hey, who are you calling 'short', short?" Lulu asked, spinning around, glaring at Petal. "You're just as short as I am!"

"Yeah, but you've got big bags of air for breasts, making you look like an idiot!" Petal exclaimed. "How can someone as short as you walk with those things?"

"Well, at least I'm not flat!" Lulu exclaimed. "I seen boards with more curves than you!"

"Um, guys…" I started.

"SHUT UP KELLY!" Lulu and Petal shouted at the same time.


Poor Kelly. He's between a rock and a hard place. He needs to get laid.
