"What!?" I said, louder than it should've been. Eve shrank back and blushed. I gawked at her for a few moments. "What happened?"
"We got into an argument...and...I...sort of...fired him..." She mumbled.
"Eve!" I moaned in dismay. "Where is he now? I'm going to talk to him."
"He should be at the airport now..."
I stared at her for a few moments before repeatedly banging my head on my door. Eve looked at me with confusion.
"Do I need to call a nurse?" She asked.
"Eve, what do you want me to do? I can't just leave and go get him."
"You can't?"
"No! There's a reason why this place is called a 'mental hospital'! It's for the mentally ill. Do you honestly think they would let mental people just come and go as they please?" I wanted to shake this girl until her teeth rattled.
"Well, we have to get him! He going back to England! I'll never see him again!" Eve cried.
"It's your fault for being an immature, sanctimonious—"
Slap!
"I saw that one coming."
"Are you going to help me or not? If not, then I'll go by myself!" Eve huffed.
Something about the thought of Eve trying to break out of this place (and probably succeed) and then getting severely lost worried me. I sighed. I gestured for her to wait and I quickly grabbed my jacket and glasses. I decided to grab a hat also. Just in case somebody might recognize us.
"Alright. You listen to everything I say and don't wander off, got it?"
"Nobody orders me around." Eve sniffed.
"Eve..." I said warningly.
"Fineee..." She sighed.
I made Eve put on some sunglasses. Just in case. We casually strolled into the main lobby where the glorious double doors were. The good news was that we were almost there. The bad news was that two nurses stood guard at the door. I groaned.
"Now, what?" Eve hissed, adjusting her over-sized glasses. I opened my mouth to answer.
"Hello, mortals." Aisha said, way too loudly.
"Shhh!" We both hissed at her. The purplenette wrinkled her nose and crossed her arms.
"Alright. What is going on? She demanded, her voice softer.
"We're trying to break out because Eve fired her soul mate and he's going to England and we have to stop him so she can profess her love for him and then they can get married and live happily ever after." I replied.
Eve flushed and shot me a glare. Aisha blinked before knowingly stroking her chin.
"I want to come with you." She declared.
"What? No—" Eve started.
"If you can provide a distraction for those two nurses over there, then you can come." I hurriedly said. Aisha nodded and snapped her fingers. Elsword was by her side in seconds.
"Elsword, I need you to pretend to have a breakdown."
"But—but...Aisha. They'll give me who weird shots. Those hurt..." Elsword began tearing up. I would be lying if I said it wasn't adorable. Aisha seemed immune, seeing how she didn't even blink an eye.
"Now." She snapped.
Elsword nodded, defeated. He took a deep breath before screaming and knocking over a vase full of flowers. He thrashed around with fake fury. He threw pillows from the chairs and he even picked up a chair. The nurses hurried to him, trying to restrain him.
"Now!" Aisha whispered. We darted through the doors and quickly ran. I was last, making sure no one was following us. Everyone was trying to withhold Elsword. Aisha may be insane, but she's smart. I was just about to run until I felt ice cold fingers close around my arm. Shivers jolted through my arm and I halted abruptly.
"And just what the hell are you three doing?" Raven's husky voice said coolly.
I dropped the F-bomb several times before sighing in defeat. Raven patiently waited for me to get it all out of my system before arching an eyebrow.
"Eve." Was all I managed to say.
He nodded, understanding. His grip on me loosened. He didn't let go, as if he was afraid I was going to run. Which I would've but I know he would've caught up to me in an instant.
"Why were you out here?" I asked.
"It's none of your concern." He replied without missing a beat. I crossed my arms and a silence fell between us. Raven began stomping on something. It was a cigarette.
"I guess it's time to find those two." He shoved his hands in his pockets and began walking. I quickly caught up to him.
"You smoke?"
"Bad habit. Trying to break it."
"Doesn't seem like it." I muttered.
He pretended not to hear me. "They're going to the airport right?"
"Yeah. How do you know that?"
"I overheard their little...dispute."
"How bad was it?"
"No blood was spilled. That's all that matters."
"You're not actually going to force them back, right? Not until Eve and Chung reconcile?"
He didn't answer.
Eve and Aisha stuck out like sore thumbs. They weren't doing anything outrageous (thank the Sacred El) but they just looked...aloof. Which is good. In this situation, anyways. Raven said nothing but I knew he saw them too.
"You have ten minutes." Raven said before strolling into a coffee shop. I didn't even have time to smirk before Eve let out a wail. She was at her knees and Aisha was comforting her. I jogged over.
"What happened?" I said, alarmed. Aisha squinted at me.
"Took you long enough! Where were you?"
"Er...minor delay. Anyways, what's wrong with her?" I looked at Eve who was sobbing.
"Chung's flight already left." Aisha explained.
I sighed.
"Eve? Eve, what are you doing here?"
Chung.
He looked about just as shocked as we were. He bent down and helped a speechless Eve up. She was limp in his arms. Silent tears were streaming down her face.
"Eve..." Chung said softly. There was a moment of silence before Eve threw her arms around him.
"I'm sorry, Chung. I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry! You were always right. I'm sorry. Sorry for being selfish and immature! Sorry for being such a nuisance! I'm sorry for ruining your life. I'm sorry—"
She was cut off as Chung kissed her. I heard Aisha gasp and a goofy grin traveled to my face. His hands gripped her waist and her arms were wrapped tightly around his neck. Chung's free hand was wound up in Eve's hair.
Ah, young love.
When they pulled back, Chung said huskily, "I should be the one to say sorry. I called you insane. You aren't insane. I was just flustered."
Eve silenced him with another kiss. By now, everyone was staring. Parents covered their children's eyes, middle-aged soccer moms looked offended, and the elderly smiled. Even Raven joined me.
"Now, aren't you glad that you didn't bring us back? This is adorable." I nudged Raven with my elbow, smirking.
"You read too many romance novels." He replied.
"All of this sexual tension is repulsive. I'm going to wait outside." Aisha sniffed indignantly before leaving.
For some stupid reason, I blushed.
Author's Note: Woo! Finally updated RtGE! It's short but at least ya got something! Giving you guys some Cheve fanservice. I just loved writing Aisha in this one. I tried to make her more EM-ish since MANY complain that my EM is OOC. I'm sorry! DX I just view EM differently.

Swordheart103- Thank you! Yes, I really am trying to update more but it's a work in progress. Please bear with me until then! :D First time reviewing? Welcome to the review section! As a fellow author, I want to share some advice with you: You should review more. It doesn't have to be some heartfelt paragraph but even a little "You're doing great! Update soon!" will boosts an author's confidence. :) Alliance? A reboot is coming soon. ;)
Pip176- Thank you! ;3
Rosamanelle- Well, it doesn't matter because Chena will NEVER HAPPEN. EVER. He finds Rena VERY attractive. ;D Yup. That's a very good summary of Elsword and Aisha in this story. Oh dear. If you liked that, then you'll LOVE this one. Raven is just awkward in general. But it's okay because we still love him!
Ufocheese- It's okay! Thanks for the review! :D
xxtimexx- CHEVE AND REVEN FOR LIFE!
Kelpiejh- Thank you!
Reikan- Not quite there yet. ;D Thank you!

Epsilon the ancient nasod- Everybody likes lunatics. Ara will have her moment in the story. No worries. :D Not sure if I'll put Add in this but still look out for him. :D Aisha is just a troll.
Renas myst. Past- Thank you! The size of a novel? I don't think I've reached that level yet but it's nice to hear that someone thinks I have the potential! :D Oh, that's not a bad idea. That'd be pretty damn cool. WOW, the art of hypnosis? You are getting sleeeeppyyyy.../slapped. OOC stands for Out Of Character. It means that the character isn't acting like how he/she would normally act in the anime/game/book/etc. Thank you!
Kiyoshiin Silverbringer- Ohoho...why thank you. ;D
Guest- Oh hello! Add may or may not be in it. I'm not sure but keep an eye out! So many questions! All in due time, all in due time...c:
