Unsurprisingly, Nashi and Drake seem to be everyone's favorites. No surprise there, seeing as you all ship them religiously. Elise got a few, Simon got one.

Oh, and I'm writing so much to vent my feels from the newest episode of Plastic Memories, don't judge me. That show is going to destroy me on the inside, I can't do this. If you haven't seen it and don't mind watching subs, episodes come out on Saturdays.

I'll stop now, enjoy!

Drake couldn't take his mind of Nashi. All he could think about was what he would do to Rocky if he laid a finger on her, and to top it all off, Asuka was trying to talk to him.

"Drake, did you hear me?" Drake didn't even acknowledge she'd stopped walking, and walked right past her as he thought. "Hey, Drake!" Drake stopped as she put a hand on his shoulder, and he turned to her.

"Yeah?" he asked, trying not to sound irritated. The look she gave him made him realize he'd failed.

"What's up with you?" She asked, putting her hands on her hips. "You've been ignoring me for half an hour." Drake looked back down, now feeling even worse.

"I'm sorry." He replied. "I was thinking about something else."

"What?" Asuka asked innocently. Drake shook his head and looked away.

"Nothing." He said all too quickly, not doing anything to quell her curiosity.

"Come on, don't give me that." She complained, pulling at his sleeve. "Tell me." Drake sighed at her childish, which reminded him this girl was seven years older than him.

"Fine," He said, pocketing his hands. "I was thinking about Nashi." He didn't get a response at first, and when he looked up, Asuka was stifling a laugh. "What the hell are you laughing for?!"

"Nothing." She replied, looking away. "I just...*snicker*...I just think it's adorable you're thinking about her." Drake didn't understand what she was talking about until he re-thought his own sentence and realized what he'd actually said.

"I didn't mean like that, you airhead." he growled. "I meant I don't like her with Rocky."

"Of course you don't." Asuka replied with a smirk. "You'd prefer she be with you."

"Exactly." Drake replied before thinking, realizing what she'd said. "Damn it Asuka, I'm not in love with her!"

"Your defensiveness begs to differ." She replied, causing a temple to pop on Drake's forehead. "But if you aren't why are you so worried?"

"Surely you know her past with Rocky." Drake replied, and Asuka shook her head. "Wow, seriously? Here I thought you were a good babysitter." Drake knew he's jabbed at Asuka's pride, but she deserved for teasing him about worrying for Nashi.

"I was a good babysitter, but I wasn't always around you know." Asuka informed him, a hand on her hip. "Besides, Rocky was never around when I was."

"Yeah, because he knew if you found him doing the shit he did you'd tell on him." It sounded like such a trivial threat to Drake now, but being told on when you were little was like hitting a brick wall. "That's why I'm uncomfortable about it."

"What did he do?" Asuka asked, making Drake growl.

"Never mind that, telling you would only make me angrier." He turned and began to walk away. "besides, we have a race to win."

"Alright, I'll give up." Asuka said, running to catch up with him. "...For now."

"...You're going to keep pestering me about this, aren't you?" Drake asked as he slid down a small hill, Asuka following him.

"You know it." She replied with a laugh. "Besides, even if Rocky's done horrible things to her, it's no reason to worry. She's a big girl, after all." Drake knew that, Nashi was more than capable of dealing with it herself. He was too used to be be the one to protect her from it all. Even during Phantom Dove he'd felt the need to do so, even though he'd been able to do nothing about there situation.

"I know." Drake replied. "That doesn't help, though."

"So, uh, how have you been Elise?"

"Fuck off, Sammy." This was how the majority of their conversations went as they walked, and Elise had no qualms with that. However, this was because Elise hated her partner. She, as she hated to remember, had once been someone who bullied Nashi over her inability. She hated that person with a vengeance, and being around people like Rocky or Sammy only made her feel worse becuase she had usually been in their company when she'd been doing it. However Sammy didn't seem to realize this, and kept trying to strike up a conversation with her. He sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry I'm not your boyfriend Drake, but..." Elise burst out into laughter at these words, ones that confused him thoroughly. "Why are you laughing?"

"Me?!" She asked, pointing at herself to clarify. "And Cyanide Breath?! You're fucking kidding me right?!"

"No, I heard it was true." he replied, clarifying it as a rumor, which only made Elise laugh harder. "It isn't?"

"Do I look like Nashi?" Elise demanded, earning a shake of his head. "Then no, I'm not."

"They're dating?"

"No, but Drake wouldn't pick me over her, let's be realistic for a second here." Sammy nodded and they became silent before Elise got curious. "Who told you we were a thing?"

"Well, nobody really said you were together, but there was a rumor you'd showered together or something." These words caused Elise to get a splitting headache, and she groaned. "What's wrong?"

"You gave me a headache with your idiocy, that's what." She hissed, her temples throbbing. She'd been getting these weird headaches occasionally, but Wendy had confirmed it was nothing more than a headache. But, from what exactly? "Where the fuck did you hear that from?" Her accusation made Sammy's eyes widen, as if he'd tread on ground he shouldn't have.

"I-It's nothing, let's talk about something else." He excused quickly, refusing to meet Elise's eyes. What was that? At one point he'd been extremely curious, and then the next scared and completely uninterested.

"Fine, what?" She asked, feeling the pain in her head die away considerably. Sammy shrugged, his blonde hair falling over his eyes.

"How about when you and Nashi became friends again?" he asked, making her growl.

"You just had to go there, didn't you?" She asked angrily, and he shrugged again.

"Like before, just curious." He replied. "One day you did what Rocky and I did, the next you were her BFF." Elise thought over a response that wasn't kicking his ass for saying that.

"I'm not like you two, that's why." She replied. "When she exploded at her Dad that day he came back, I felt bad. As oppose to you and your boyfriend, apparently." Everyone she was friends with took jabs at Sammy and Rocky's sexuality, just because they got so offended about it.

"He's not..." he sighed. "I'm not even going to say it, you already know."

"Yeah, whatever. How about we not talk anymore?"

"...Fair enough."

He'd seen it firsthand. Sammy had been told, as with everyone else, that Elise's memory of the Phantom Dove incident had been overwritten and replaced with her being sick. Mest had said himself that if anything that was overwritten was brought up she'd experience a killer headache, but he'd never seen it happen. It just had. Of course the 'showering with each other' meant something totally different now, that memory had been taken away from her.

Mest hadn't specified if it was possible for her to remember anything from these headaches, but he had said she could be in so much pain from the experience she could black out from it. She seemed fine now, but Sammy didn't want anything to happen to her while he was with her.

Just what was so bad it had to be erased, though...?

"This is why I hate you, Dragneel!"

"Fuck off, this is anyone's fault but mine!" Nashi and Rocky, in there haste to hate each other and start a fight, had rolled down a huge cliff and gotten area wasn't on the map anywhere, and Rocky had already expressed his discontent more than once with a string of colorful insults directed at her.

"You got us lost because you can't listen to me! This is why I think you're a bitch!" Nashi had no problem kicking him in the manhood, and she hoped he realized that as she prepared her right leg.

"Maybe if you stopped egging me on until I fucking explode this wouldn't happen!" Nashi shouted back, getting in his face. He growled.

"You see? This is the problem." He said, more calm than before. "All you do is yell at me more speaking the truth and when I go off on you for it, it's somehow my fault." He pushed her away from him, presumably to stop himself before he attacked her with more force than a push. "You just can't admit you're wrong!"

"I'm not saying I'm not wrong! the only reason we got lost is because you had to keep pushing and pushing! Somehow because I had enough of you insulting me and saying I have no idea what I'm doing, it's my fault?!" Rocky rubbed the bridge of his nose in irritation at her words.

"We'll agree to disagree, then. At this rate we'll be stuck here for days." Nashi rolled her eyes but didn't argue, knowing full well it might just result in another pointless fight. Rocky began to walk away. "Now, can we go this way, or does thy princess have a better idea?"

"Fine, lead the way." Nashi followed behind him quietly, allowing him to take any turns he so wished. Quite honestly she didn't really care what happened anymore, anyway. Her sole drive in these exams was to beat Rocky, but she was stuck with him instead, which defeated the purpose. If her antics prevented him from winning though, she could live with that. Besides, she'd already proved a huge point by 'defeating' her father, so she really didn't care. Rocky lid down a small hill and Nashi jumped down after him, watching him survey the area. Doing so as well didn't provide Nashi with anything useful, just seeing animals watching them. Keeping her eyes glued to the ground, Nashi followed him until he made an abrupt stop, which made her bump into him. "Why did you stop?" She asked.

"What the hell?" Rocky asked. Nashi looked past him to what he was looking at, and saw the problem. The entire area in front of them was dead and gray. It was as if a disease had passed through only this one area. Trees, plants, grass, animals, all of it was dead.

Nashi didn't know what propelled her to walk past Rocky, much to his indignation, and right into the center of the dead area. Despite the eerie feel the area gave off, Nashi felt at peace once she reached the center, as if it was calming the feeling she'd experienced while fighting her father.

"Dragneel, you're starting to creep me out." Nashi knelt down and ran the dead grass through her fingers, pondering what exactly had happened her to make it like this. "Dragneel, oi! Can you even hear me?!" Nashi could but she ignored him, not to piss him off. Nashi felt like this area was special but she had no idea why, only that the center of this dead place made her feel safe.

"...What happened here?" She finally asked, standing up again.

"I don't know, but you're really creeping me out." Looking at him did confirm he looked genuinely spooked, but she didn't know why. She was only standing here, was she not?

"Why?" She asked, confused.

"I don't know, but it doesn't feel right." he said, backing up a bit. "Now, can we please get out of here before you grow horns and extra arms and start to kill me?" Nashi allowed a chuckle to pass her lips at his words, following him out of the dead area. However, something occurred to her.

She felt angrier and more on edge the farther away she got.

So what was that huh? I'm sure you guys can figure it out.

Anyway, today's question is: Who is your favorite villain?

People like Apocalypse, Kronos, etc.

I hope you enjoyed, leave a review! Let's try and get ten!
