'... Hey, let him go!' The summoner motioned, pointing her staff at Alma. 'If you don't, I'm going to beat you into a pulp!' She said angrily.
"..." Zach stared down at the now solidified lava for a moment and sighed. "... It's not really..." He groaned. "Hey... This isn't the treasure... We need to keep going. Let's forget about these losers."
~~~~~
"... No you can't, I was just tricking you into thinking I was!" Mai-Fei said. "Now let's get goooooiiiiing!" She continued, unsealing her wings, flying off with Tsune's ankle in her hand.
~~~~~
John burped up a bunch of dirt. "Erp..." He groaned.
~~~~~
"Well, then we should probably go sit down at an inn or something, shouldn't we?" Aria asked, blinking.

"An inn?" Jace asked, before sighing mentally. "Right, fine..." He then walked to the inn, having led her to it. He then paid for a room, knowing she would follow him anyway, and took the key. Entering his room, room 104, he then kicked his shoes off and flopped onto the bed, not saying a word to the woman.
At that point, Aria plopped down on the other bed, starting to read. What, did he expect her to throw herself at him? What a strange assumption to make. Anyway, she silently continued reading, not saying a word to Jace.
Jace sighed with relief, making sure that he could savor the silence. He then curled up into the bed, wanting a quick nap, and threw the blankets over his head, closing his eyes and attempting to sleep.
Suddenly, the sound of loud horrifying loudness was heard. There wasn't a word for it, except for loud. It wasn't a sound. It was just booming loudness.
"AAAAAH!!!" Jace leaped up from the bed, already scrambling for clothes, though he was already wearing clothing, and bolted out the door. "WHERE'S THE FIRE!?"
But there was nothing at all going on. "What on earth are you screaming for?" Aria asked. "You close your eyes for 5 seconds then start screaming. It's very strange, don't you think?"
Jace stared at her for a moment, shaking his head. "Maybe it was just a dream... I don't know..." He mumbled before climbing into bed, this time keeping his eyes open because he was so jaded by the scream. He then took a book and began to read, scared for his life.
Suddenly, for no reason whatsoever, the loud loudness once again went off, being all loud and whatnot, to the point that it was almost deafening, while still not having any definition, being simply as if it were the sound of silence.
Jace cried out again, though this time it was in pain as he plugged his ears, feeling quite helpless. Almost deafening may have been an understatement. He found his ears ringing for a moment, but he then realized that he couldn't hear his own shouts. Oh... dammit all... Jace thought as he fell onto the floor, smack on his derriere as a result of being disoriented.
~~~~
"Oh, so I guess you're full anyway?" Serenade chirped as she gazed down at her husband. "Heh. How cute! So JJ, what do you want to do? We could always go to a fair and ride the tallest and fastest roller coaster ever!"
John used Rock Blast!
Hit 18 times!
It's Super Effective!
"... Urp..."
Serenade was beyond knocked out! She passed out, which automatically killed the triplets.
Well, not really.
Because she's Serenade, right?
"Ugh... Too many dirts..."
"Ugh, too many JJs to kill..."
John used Mud Shot!
It's Super Effective!
Serenade's Speed Fell!
Serenade used Big Bang!
It has no effect on John...
Serenade sweat drops.
John used Rock Slide.
It's Super Effective!
Serenade runs from battle!
"Why do I suck at this!? I'm a DAMN GOD! I'm beyond Legendary!" Serenade shrieked.
~~~~~
Tsune flailed about for a little while, not liking being hung upside down. "Mai-Fei! You're a big ol' jerk, you know that!?" She cried. "If you loved me, you would be this much of a jerk!"
"Well, maybe you started it." Mai-Fei said as they flew over the ocean. Oh, then she dropped Tsune.
"EEK!" A giant splash was heard as she sobbed, wading around in the waters. "I'm going to die, I'm going to die, I'm going to die horribly..."
But that didn't happen. Cuz Mai-Fei caught her. She was an ass.
"Mai-Fei..." The woman whimpered as she clung to her leg, having been scared for dear life. "You're not being funny at all..."
"Hey, come on, it was kinda funny..." Mai-Fei said.
"No, not really! You're taking things too far!" Tsune cried out as she folded her arms.
So she fell again. Because Mai-Fei had been holding her by the arms. 
"EEK!" Tsune cried out, attempting to flap in the air in a futile attempt to believe for once in her life that she was an angelus. Too bad she wasn't.
~~~~~
Alma sighed, looking over to Zach. "Zhey aren't really lozerz..." She blinked, wondering what his definition of a loser was. She then peered at Glenn once again as he shifted slightly. "Can you please let me go? I'm busy here!" He cried with his fists clenched.
"Vell... I just vould like my questionz answered," Alma replied softly as she continued to glance downward, clearly ignoring the summoner.
"...Fine, whatever. Glenn Atma. Here to find something. Alchemist. Possessed. Pipsqueak." He explained himself in those few words, causing Alma to blink. "Eh?" Alma took a little bit to absorb the information. "So you are a Pozzessed pipsqueak zhat iz also an alchemist? Not to mention..." She reeled her head a little bit back so she could get a good look at him. "Very cute."
'... Yeah, she says that to everyone...' Zach thought, sitting back.
'... Oh, that's it, put him down, you whore!' The summoner said, bringing down the hammer (It's a staff) of justice down upon Alma's head.
"Hey!" Zach said, running forward and placing a knife under the staff, though a bit late to block the conk.
"Owowow!" Alma cried out as she felt the staff against her head, causing her to reel back. "Vhy you... vhat right do you have to beat me over ze head like zhat! NOT MY FAULT HE SEEMZ LOST!"
Glenn groaned before booking it ahead, making sure that he could reach the treasure before anyone else. "She called me... cute? No one has called me that... or approached me like that..." He mumbled as he shook his head.
'... Just... HUSSY!' The summoner 'shouted', booking it after Glenn.
"... The hell was that for... You okay?" Zach asked Alma, looking at her head where it had been conked. "... We need to hurry." He said, healing the spot. "Before they get to the treasure." He said, turning about and running.
It wasn't long before the deepest chamber was reached. Inside was a man in Malkuth military garb, his hair having the color of someone of Mizuhoan descent, though even from behind, it was clear that he was not Mizuhoan, or if he was, it was only faint. In his hand was a scroll. Which was burning. Because he had caught it on fire.
Glenn, breathing heavily, noticed the man, as well as the scroll burning. "HEY!!!" He shouted, red in the face. And I mean VERY red. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING THAT FOR!?" He shouted, his hand thrown out. He was, for once, genuinely pissed.
Alma appeared from behind them all, curious as to what was happening. "Oh... so zhis iz ze treasure?" She asked, noticing the man burning the scroll. "Zhis izn't really good..."
"No..." Zach groaned, a bleak expression crossing his face as he ran forward, knife out. "MY HOME!" He shouted, swinging it at the stranger, only for the man to duck. Zach was then blasted back by a burst of searing hot water and knocked to the ground.
'... Calm down!' The summoner motioned at Glenn. 'Whatever it was, it can't have been that important!' She said.
"... Whoever you are, I've no reason to answer to you." The man said before seeing Alma. "Hm... The Duke's daughter..." He said. "Lady Alma... Why are you here?" He asked.
"...Major Ryan... Oh, um I am on a... shopping trip vith Zach. You didn't have to hurt him zhough! He iz my friend!" Alma cried out before running over to Zach. "Are you okay!!?"
"It's important! It could have taken D down!!" Glenn grit his teeth before lunging haphazardly at Ryan while clapping his hands, causing spikes to shoot up from under Ryan's feet as his hands dragged along the ground.
Ryan moved back, clapping his hands together, then touching a wall. For a moment, it seemed as if nothing had happened, and then...
The wall suddenly caved, a jet of water shooting out and smashing Glenn into another wall. It would have crushed a weaker person, but... It didn't. Ryan quickly clapped once more, Sealing the wall. "It's basic self defense, my lady." He explained. "It wasn't a debilitating attack, however. He should be fine." He said.
"You... Think I'm your friend?" Zach groaned.
Glenn slipped to the ground with a thump, feeling dazed. Despite him being very strong and built for his size, the attack still knocked him around town. Wobbling onto his feet, he grit his teeth, this time keeping back. What was the point anyway?
Even if I kicked his ass, I still wouldn't be able to get that scroll back... Glenn thought as he stepped back to let them talk, though he was limping at this point.
"Vhat, do you not vant to be my friend? Alvayz knew you vere a snobby arse." Alma sighed as she shrugged. "Fine, I take vhat I said back. I am considering leaving ze fool. Eizher vay, I guess I have no need to be here anymore. Zhank you for ze adventure Zach." She mumbled before stepping right over him and back towards the exit of the catacombs.

"H-hey, wait!" Zach said, following her. "All I meant was that I was surprised!" He spoke, in a run in spite of the burns that were on his torso, though they were all first degree burns.
"Lady Alma, you must wait!" Ryan said, running forward to catch up. "This is no shopping trip. Listen, you must return home. Your parents are very worried of you, and also... Now that I know the face of your companion, I'm required to report him unless you return... And then there will be a manhunt for him."
'... So can we go on now?' The summoner asked Glenn. 'Whoever that guy was, he seems like a real jerk... So let's hurry on!'
~~~~~
But Mai-Fei caught her by the collar, then carried her all the way to the Super Chicken House. "Are you done being silly?" She asked her lover. "I don't want you to make a scene!"
~~~~~
Because It's you, and he's John. Don't try to fight it. At least he's done, yes?
John, of course, continued to sit on the floor, defeated by rock eating.
~~~~~
"You know that you are making a scene, yes?" Aria asked.

Of course Jace couldn't hear her. In fact, he was GLAD for not being able to hear her. So he reeled back into the covers, feeling oh so very happy. "Oh sweet silence..." He said, though he couldn't even hear his own voice.
~~~~~
Serenade suddenly jumped onto her feet with her arms folded. "So, you done yet? Do you want me to hold you and tell you everything will be okay?"
~~~~~
Tsune huffed as she glanced upward at Mai-Fei. "Mai-Fei, you're the silly one." She pointed out the obvious, before suddenly clinging to her leg.
~~~~~
Alma turned to Ryan, staring at him for a moment. She was silent for a moment or two, then continued to move on. "Do vhat you vant. I do not vant to return to zhem. It iz boring at zhe home." She pointed out before unsealing her wings and flying off, leaving Zach in the dusty dust.
Glenn turned to the summoner after he watched the scene, causing him to chuckle. "Right..." He then unsealed his wings, then hovered in the air. "I guess we lost what we came for. Well, guess we should go find those two, right?" He asked, though he was watching Alma and Zach, taking an interest in the both of them.

"Alma, wait!" Zach shouted, running, only to completely lose sight of her. "Tch..." He groaned, shaking his head.
"Lady Alma... Is this your rebellious streak?" Ryan asked.
'Yeah, let's get going.' The summoner said, summoning Volt and putting on a hat with her hair pinned under it, she jumped on top of the spirit and flew after Glenn.
"Hay!" Zach shouted as they flew past him. "Damn... Damn, damn, DAMN!" He shouted. "What about my home...?" He asked.
"... I have no idea what you speak of, but if you intended to use that scroll to obtain any money... I would have to arrest you for treason, reckless endangerment, and selling of a dangerous weapon."
"..." Zach clenched his fist, walking off, tears in his eyes.
~~~~~
"Nu uuuuuuuh!" Mai-Fei said, landing by the Chicken House. "Look, let's just go in, gawd!" She said, running in.
~~~~~
"Me soooooooooo sick!" John said, his face having turned a weird color from eating rocks. Poor John.
~~~~~
Of course, THAT was when Aria decided to sit on the bed.

Jace blinked, then scrambled over to the corner of the bed, curled up in a sheet and a blanket. He then took up his book and began to read, though he couldn't focus on the words, at all.
~~~~
"JJ... You no want to go home?" Serenade asked as she peered at him, her ears flicking.
~~~~
Tsune was hurried into the Chicken House and forced to sit at a booth. She then already ordered the usual for both Mai-Fei and her.
"Yes, huh." She began.
~~~~
Alma finally made it out of the catacombs, unsure as to where to go next. So many possibilities... "Hmm... maybe I can see about traveling vith zhem." She flicked her ears. "Ze two do seem fascinating. And vhat zhey are doing may just be an actual adventure. Vithout traps."
Just then she noticed Glenn flying out, already picking up speed as he zoomed toward the inn. Alma, having been on top of a spire, leaped down and followed straight after him, managing to catch up to him due to larger wings and speed. Placing her hand on his shoulder right at the inn, causing him to jump.
"Wah!!" Glenn leaped back while trying to swallow his heart back down his throat. "You're that girl!? What the heck are you doing following us?"
"Hm, just vanted to get to know ze both of you, zhat iz all." Alma smiled as she bowed her head, her ears twitching. "You may call me Alma, if you wish to know my name."
"Uh... you're like grandma..."

'... Ugh... Well we don't need you around! We already have enough people with us!' The summoner said, waving her staff threateningly. 'Please leave.' She motioned, her summon/ride glowing dangerously under her.
~~~~~
"You're crazy!" Mai-Fei said as her giant pile of chicken arrived. "Why are you being so mean to me, huh?" She whined. "You're being a huge jerk, you know that?!"
~~~~~
"Rrrrrrrrrpppppp..." John groaned, still as tired and sick as a man on his deathbed, except that he wasn't dying, although it felt like it.
~~~~~
Aria placed her head on his shoulder, looking at the book. Her arms draped themselves around, her hands placed on his chest. "Oh, how boring..." She said softly, her ears touching his.

Of course he was still deaf, but he wondered what words she was saying. He was very amused by this, not able to grow angry unless she suddenly attacked him with a punch or a bite. However, he merely allowed her, just ignoring her presence altogether. Of course he still continued to read, which was probably the most embarrassing thing a man could read; a romance novel.
~~~~
"...Okay, well I'm going to play with the kiddies... who are probably in their twenties by now... are they? Hey JJ, how old are our kids?" Serenade couldn't help but ask.
~~~~
"Mai-Fei... you're the one being a huge jerk. You won't even consider my feelings." Tsune turned her head away with a huff. "And look at what I have done for you over the years!"
~~~~
"Hey, you vill face public chargez if you do anyzhing in zhis area." Alma pointed out, asserting her authority. "I do have power here, and I can have you both arrested."
"Aren't you abusing your power?" Glenn asked, sweat dropping. "Yeah, we have enough... We're just about to pick up our... comrades."
"Pleaze? I just have been dying to leave! I von't be much of a bozher! Besidez, I have some useful abilitiez."
"Like?"
"Healing, for one."
"Uh... Well you're pretty much threatening us... Eh heh."

'Pff, like I care.' The summoner said, having Volt ZAP THE SHIT out of Alma. 'Come on, let's get going before she gets up.' She said, floating along casually until they arrived next to the hotel window where Aria and Jace could be seen. 'Hey! Hurry up! We need to get going if we're going to make the seal any time soon.'
"... Oh well." Aria shrugged, blowing a little in Jace's ear to restore his hearing. "Come along, my favorite pupil." She whispered. "Can't spend all your time reading books for lonely old women."
~~~~~
"You're calling me silly!" Mai-Fei pouted sadly. "It's a really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really really REALLY mean thing to do! I think I'm gonna cry now!" She said, completely serious.
~~~~~
"Too..." John groaned, not able to form another word due to the fact that he was too sick. If he had finished, he would have said, 'many rocks', but in his state... Yeah.
~~~~~
As Zach exited to the surface, he sighed. 'What now... Just another dead end... And still no luck... And now I'm alone...' He thought, hearing thunder. "Huh...?" He looked up. 'Not a cloud in the sky... Wait...' He suddenly broke into a run. 'Has to be...'

Jace's ears were red for a moment, feeling as if he could hear her. No wait... HE COULD HEAR her. "Dammit..." Jace groaned. "I can't even catch a break." He sighed as he turned his head to the window to see the summoner. "Great, we're going already?" He then threw himself off the bed and out of Aria's arms before slipping on his shoes.
Alma, on the other hand, groaned with pain and numbness... oh and her eyes were a clear golden color. "Bitch..." She mumbled, not at all lashing out at the other woman, but instead near Glenn, who chose not to follow her to tell Jace and Aria.
"So... little bitch is a little jealous, huh?" Alma spoke, completely throwing off Glenn. "Uh... your accent... Look, what does she have to be jealous of? I mean, she just didn't want more people, and well, you kinda persisted." He explained, only to feel his arm grabbed. "Weeeeell... I'm going to keep persistin'..." She mentioned as she placed her head on his shoulder. "By the way, ya smell nice. Such an innocent boy." She giggled before removing herself, causing Glenn to blush and turn away. "Well, we're in trouble anyway... we just don't want another around, okay?"
"Yes, well, I bet I can abuse my own abilities a bit farther." Alma replied. "Can't ya just let me come along? I'm more useful than that heap of junk ya call an elf. Seriously, he's so thin he'd probably break in the middle of battle!"
"F-Fine... whatever."
~~~~
"So... they are two years old? I don't think that is quite right..." Serenade placed a finger to her head as she thought, trying to remember their birth dates.
~~~~
"You called me silly earlier! Have I no right to be sad!? Not to mention you deliberately controlled my own head, drop me for the thrill of it, though I really HATE heights, and forced me to have sex with you against my will! If anything, I deserve to cry!"

"I didn't force you to do anything!" Mai-Fei said. "I only made it easier for you to do what you really wanted to do! If anything, you raped me!" She whined.
~~~~~
"Bllllleeeeeeeehhhh...." John continued to groan, spitting up dirt.
~~~~~
Zach suddenly arrived on the scene, landing right on top of Glenn's head from a building he'd been atop, though only for half a second. "Alma..." He said, smelling seared searedness. "You were the one?" He asked. "Hey... Are you okay?" He asked in a worried voice.
~~~~~
"Well, this room was a bit of a waste, wasn't it?" Aria asked airily, already having picked up her book. "Though I wonder why you were so quick to buy up a room... Perhaps you wanted the privacy for something?" She asked Jace.
'WHATEVER. LET'S GO.'

"I wanted to be alone. WITH A BOOK." Jace hissed as he walked out on her and met up with the summoner. "Meet you outside." He waved a hand at her before walking out of the city.
~~~~~
Glenn, meanwhile was holding his head, reeling back with a mighty glare at Zach.
Alma glanced at Zach for a moment with a shrug. "I'm fine. What's it to ya?" She asked as she suddenly grabbed Glenn by the arm again, beginning to purr. "Jus' wanna show a girl a thing or two. I'm goin' along with them, whether they like it or not. Girl needs to learn to not have a stick up her ass. Seriously. She's annoyin'. So bossy!"
~~~~
"Yeah well you wanted me too! It doesn't count because you can't rape the willing!" Tsune retaliated before stuffing her own mouth with chicken in order to avoid speaking.

Serenade sighed and just ignored him, sitting beside him and beginning to pull out a book. "I love you!" She grinned.

"Gurrrrrrrrg..." John groaned, STILL not in speaking condition. He then spit up the shiniest diamond in the history of diamonds.
~~~~~
Mai-Fei, of course, started to cry. While eating her chicken. Because she was just a big crybaby who cried a lot, the baby!
~~~~~
"Huh? I was just... Worried about you..." Zach mumbled. "That's all..." He said, looking down, feeling a little hurt. "You're acting strange again..." He continued, completely ignoring Glenn, though somewhat jealous (Is that really a surprise?).
~~~~~
"Sure, whatever you say. I would have thought it better to find a nice tree, though to each their own, kiddo." Aria said, walking out behind him.

Jace rolled his eyes as he noticed both Zach and Alma. "Uh, who are they?" He asked as Glenn blinked. "I don't know who they are! We just found them hunting for our treasure just a couple hours ago!"
"Oh, an' I think I found the treasure alright!" Alma joked as she patted the man's arm. "But ya were worried about me? Ya didn't need to be. I mean, geez, we jus' met didn't we?" She explained while placing a hand to her hip. "Gotta get to know each other first, then ya can worry unless ya wanna rip my throat out!"
"...Who are you again?" Glenn asked.
"Well, I'll tell ya, since ya have my eyes an' everythin'. And golden eyes are totally hot!" Alma giggled. "Name's T-er, Alma."
"Yeah, I already know that but... are you really some sort of... imposter?"
"Imposter? Ya better be kiddin'."
"Hm?" Aria looked up. "Oh... You, I remember you." She said to Alma. "So that's your state now...? I see. Oh well, you weren't much help back then... But it is quite interesting." She continued.
'... Ugh... You make sense...' The summoner said to Aria, before suddenly having Volt zap the crud out of Alma again.
"Alma!" Zach exclaimed, running over and offering a quick healing spell. "Stop that!" He shouted at the summoner.
Alma coughed up a puff of smoke, then leaped back onto her feet, pointing at the summoner and clearly ignoring Zach and his healing (ouch). "Oh IT'S ON! What the hell did I ever do to ya!? AND YOU!" She pointed at Aria. "Yer nothin' but a cheap ass bitch that thought she could get away with everythin'! I swear I would pound yer face in if I saw ya again!" She cried out before leaping at Aria, only to be grabbed at the waist by Glenn. "HEY! Cut it out here! We are in public of all places! And they are nothing but innocents and our comrades!"
"MY ASS SHE'S INNOCENT!"
Aria simply shrugged, walking off, her nose still in a book.
'She is NOT my comrade.' The summoner pointed out, blasting Alma again. And again. And again. And again for good measure.
"... Ugh..." Zach mumbled before the summoner started blasting Alma repeatedly. "Hey... STOP THAT!" He shouted at the summoner, pulling out a knife and throwing it at her, hitting the staff from her hand. For a moment, it seemed that nothing would happen, but as the staff clattered, Volt suddenly poofed, leaving the summoner to land on her bum. "Right... Alma, are you okay?" He asked, healing again.
@.@ "So... pretty... freakin'... dead... must... kill... all hoomans..." Alma replied before closing her eyes. It seemed that she had been knocked flat on her back. Not even a minute later she groaned awake, feeling a headache raging. "Oh... Yulia... vhat happened...?" She asked as she held her head.
Of course, Glenn, though enraged by the acts, ran over to the summoner and knelt down to her. "Hey, you okay? You're not hurt, are you?" He then began to form mana in his hands. "What has gotten into you, though?" Glenn asked the woman. "Just ignore Alma. I think she just is pressing your buttons..." He said with a small flush.
'...' The summoner looked away, a bit red herself. She suddenly stood up. 'I'm fine.' She said, walking over and picking up her staff. 'Can we please just pick up those two and go?' She asked.
Zach, meanwhile, placed a hand to Alma's forehead, casting another healing arte. "You're back to normal..." He said. "That girl... She kept zapping you... And... That's it..." He said, feeling down still.
"She's here, Master Kain." A voice said, Ryan appearing on the scene.
Glenn nodded with a small sigh, then led her out, though his eyes were to the youths. "What is up with them?" He wondered as he placed his hands in his pockets, deciding not to prod any further to see if the summoner is really okay.
"Who?" Another voice, very deep, was heard, alerting Alma. "R-right..." She told Zach. "I don't know vhat I really did but..." She suddenly felt this sudden intense fear shoot up through her spine, causing her to immediately flee the scene, though she had no true reason as to why. So she made up an excuse for everyone, including herself. "I really vant to catch up vith zhem... For some reazon zhey just catch my interest!"
"... What about them?" Zach asked, running after her, glad she wasn't flying this time. "I don't really understand..." He admitted. "But... I'm going to stick by you, okay?" He asked.
"Vhy? It iz not your adventure at all." Alma shook her head. "You really don't have to. Really." She emphasized the word as she continued to sprint in hopes to keep up, bound to unseal her wings and just soar after them.
"But... I... I still want to." Zach said. "We still don't have anything to remember it by... And... Well... Yeah, I just want to come along... I need to make sure she doesn't hurt you again!"
"Vhy do you have to protect me anyvay? Do you too zhink I am so incapable of fending for myself?" Alma asked, suddenly agitated with him. "Look, I am just fine on my own. Dammit, just like zhe rest of zhem..." She mumbled before unsealing her wings and taking off. "Bug off!"
"But... I just..." Zach said, feeling dejected. 'I didn't want her shocking you like that again...' He thought, running after her.
~~~~~
Of course, Jace was waiting outside, his back against a tree. "So serene... maybe they'll never show up. Hope they won't." He sighed before turning another page of the book. "Can rot for all I care."
"If you're referring to the tree, it won't simply rot." Aria said, coming out from behind said tree. "I see you took my advice."
"...I see you won't leave me alone. Can I get more than a minute's peace, please?" Jace sighed as he turned another page. "Honestly... I'm not even referring to the tree. I'm referring to each and every one of you."
"Oh... How boring." Aria said, shrugging. "That woman... She is older than you can imagine." She said. "But she died... And returned. Not that she remembers."
"And that is boring. Why would I care?" Jace sneered before waving her off. "Just, leave me alone. I'm sick of you." He mentioned, hoping to get the message through her thick skull.
Just then Glenn appeared, not at all looking happy. "Ready to go?" He asked the duo as he seemed rather spacy. "We need to kick it into high gear, after all." He moved past him, his feet slumping against the ground. "Love this great adventure..." He sarcastically muttered.
"Sorry, but I'm not sick of you." Aria said as Glenn arrived. "Oh well, I guess there won't be time for a lesson." She said.
'Ugh... Enough about that, can we please GO?' The summoner motioned, not at all caring about the fleeing.
Jace was already on his feet and walking along, his eyes rolling at Aria's words as he moved along. So they began their trek once again, with Glenn always ten paces ahead of everyone, and Jace about fifteen paces behind. They braved through much and covered much ground over the day...
Of course, that was when it started raining again. 'ARRRGH!' The summoner groaned, glad she had her hat.
Aria was there with an umbrella. "You're going to get soaked." She told Jace with a small smile.
Of course the men just stood there for a moment, a little dumb struck. "Just my luck..." Jace groaned as he found himself soaked in a matter of seconds. Nevertheless, it was one in the morning at this point, with Glenn having had a flashlight to lead the trek until they could push no further.
Glenn shivered from the cold rain as he attempted to make an umbrella, but by the time he did, it was utterly pointless for him to use it. So instead, he just stood there in the rain. "So what now? K-Keep g-g-going, or...?" Glenn asked with chattering teeth.
'Gah... ' The summoner groaned. 'Just... Hurry up with the tents...' She mumbled, shivering horribly.
"Well, I guess you don't need to be warmed then?" Aria asked. "Because I can dry you off."
A cloaked figure appeared behind them, having been following the entire time.
"Making the tents..." Glenn groaned as he clapped his hands, trying to keep his hands steady as he created two sturdy rain and wind resistant tents. In the meantime, he also created a brick holder with a wick. Moving inside and ignored the figure, he created a fire in the tent. "Brr..." He breathed while shaking.
The summoner immediately sat by the flames, shivering. '... I'm getting undressed. Don't look at me.' She motioned to Glenn in a warning.
"I-I won't." Glenn nodded his head respectively before turning away so she could get undressed. "Rather not have an egg on my head anyway." He joked while still shivering. Can't even dry my own clothes off right now... He thought before slipping out of his shirt at least. He then just remained at the fire, keeping the rest of his clothing on.
~~~~~
Meanwhile Alma had landed at a tree, observing the cloaked figure. "Vhy are you following me?" She wondered. "I do not need a stalker..." Her ears flicked in annoyance. "Je suis fatigue aussi..." She sighed as she allowed the rain to pelt her, not having minded it one bit.
"... She nearly killed you. I was just watching out for you..." Zach said through the rain, though it was difficult for him to hear anything. "I know you're strong... But... Still... We need to watch out for each other, right?"
"I don't know vhy you are suddenly getting so attached." The woman huffed as she turned her head away. "It iz not right in ze least! So pleaze, just stop zhis, okay?"
~~~~~
Jace groaned as he crawled inside the tent without a word to anyone as well, though he didn't care about not having a fire. He was incredibly cold, but he couldn't admit that. Instead he just curled up, having a sleeping bag that was already packed inside, and slipped off his wet clothing, tossing them to the side.
"Well, aren't we cute?" Aria asked, entering the tent, dry as a bone, thanks to her umbrella. She knelt next to the pit, starting the fire. "There... Now would you like to sit by the flame? It will make today's lesson much more bearable."
Jace remained in his sleeping bag, his eyes not even to her. He thought that the sleeping back would have ultimate protection over him, since he couldn't easily be ripped away from it, even if he was nude and trying to get dry.
~~~~~
"Mai-Fei... ugh, alright alright! I'm sorry for calling you silly and being mean." Tsune replied after swallowing. She then placed a hand through her hair, not sure what to do about her situation. You are so totally spoiled... She thought.
"Sniff... Really?" Mai-Fei asked, wiping some tears from her eyes.
"Yes... I really am sorry." Tsune smiled as she placed a hand on her lover's own hand, then squeezed it.
"Well..." Mai-Fei mumbled. "Okay!" She said, hugging Tsune out of nowhere.
"You are way too easy to cheer up!" Tsune laughed as she returned the hug and kissed her on the forehead. "Sheesh, well you should eat your chicken. Then we can probably go for a nice hike, or see what Elena is up to."
"Can we watch a movie?" Mai-Fei asked like a small child.
"A movie? Uh... sure! What kind of movie would you like?" Tsune asked as she the pointed to the chicken. "Eat."
Mai-Fei ate. "I wanna see a Romantic comedy!" She said.
"Then we will see one!" Tsune replied. "Hm... at home or... at the theaters? Which would you prefer?"
"Theaters, duuuuh!" Mai-Fei said.
"Why do you like the theaters anyway?" Tsune asked before footing the bill and walking out.
"Because they're dark and popcorn and snuggling!" Mai-Fei said.
"True, but we can do that at home, can't we?" Tsune retaliated as she waited for the other woman to pick her up.
"But the screen isn't as big!" Mai-Fei whined, picking up Tsune and flying for the theater.
"...Okay, so I see your point. But who needs large screens?" Tsune asked as she noticed the sky darkening as they flew on. "Oh no..."
~~~~~
"Hmph. I don't need no shiny." Serenade pouted as she flicked her ears while still reading.
"So... SIck..."
"What do you want m-BAI!" The woman cried out as she disappeared to pick up John when he was feeling better.
"Why... So... Hated...?"
Of course Serenade wasn't there. In fact, she hung out with all three of her daughters, just a girl's night out, and had ice cream and watched movies and junk. Then she came back about seven hours later with Tums.
And John was dead.
"Ugh..." Serenade sighed before kicking him a couple times. "Should I just claim his life insurance...?"
Except he never paid into life insurance. Because he had eternal life. And his wife could bring him back if he died. Goddess and all.
"...Nope! I get to go out and finally do the one thing I've been wanting to do! ...Go to the Aquarium and eat the fishes!!" Serenade cheered.
Suddenly, a button inside her collar that John SOMEHOW installed earlier went off, catching her on fire.
Serenade just stood there, blinking as she sighed. "Not funny JJ. You stupid... stupid head! I'm immune to all elements! I'm a GODDESS!"
Except it was a fire... OF ITCHINESS.
"NOOOOOOOOOO!" Serenade screamed as she began to roll around, feeling itchy everywhere, including her own nipples, eyes, and bones! YES, BONES!
But John couldn't do anything because of his incredible deadness.
"WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH! YOU ASSHOLE!" Serenade continued to screech as she found anyway to get rid of the itch, even summoning a back scratcher for herself.

And of course, John continued to remain dead. Because he had died.
~~~~~
"Huh?" Mai-Fei blinked. "What's wrong?" She asked, also seeing the theater.
~~~~~
"So you're going to just hide in there like a scared little animal?" Aria asked. "I suppose it suits you."
~~~~~
"What about you? Why are you even following them?" Zach asked, his face getting soaked. "Pbbt... I don't know why, but I am. I have been, okay? I'm sure you've noticed it before now..."
~~~~~
The summoner soon undressed, sitting close to the flame, curled up in a ball. She grabbed her staff, summoning Efreet to make the flames more powerful.

"It's going to downpour... glad to be in the theaters then!" Tsune grinned with a sweat drop, wondering if Mai-Fei had forgotten that she had completely despised the rain.
~~~~
"...I'm not scared. I'm cold. And this sleeping bag keeps me warm." Jace pointed out as he remained snuggled inside it.
~~~~
"Before now? A little. Now it iz becoming nozhing more zhan an annoyance." Alma replied with a grumpy sigh before answering his first question. "Zhey seem to be doing somezhing very important. I vant to just explore... and I vant to be part of somezhing big... somezhing my parents vould never let me do."
~~~~
Glenn remained quiet for a moment as he had held his knees to his chest. "So... think it will take any more than a day to get there?" He asked softly as he then placed his head onto his knees, still feeling very blamed and upset.
~~~~
"...JJ. JJ... oh fine, whatever. I could have just run off for the day, but noooo." Serenade then flicked her wrist, reviving John and acting all mighty. Hooray!

"... It was terrible!" John said. "I was dead... And your sisters were there... The ones that were never married were trying to rape me... ; ;"
~~~~~
'I don't know...' The summoner motioned. 'But if we keep getting more people, it will take forever...'
~~~~~
"Well... I still need to find a way to save my home..." Zach mumbled. "Maybe someone like yo wouldn't understand that, since you have everything you'd need... But I don't, okay?" He asked. "And we never actually finished." He said in a small voice.
~~~~~
"Really? Because here's a fire right there." Aria pointed out. "I'm sure it's much warm than a sleeping bag that's just going to get soggy." She said. "I believe you're scared of something, though I can't imagine what." She spoke sarcastically.
~~~~~
"It's fine, I mean, we're here, right?" Mai-Fei asked, entering the theater. "NACHOOOOOOOS!"

"But... Popcorn chicken..." Tsune pointed out, feeling like she hadn't had enough chicken in her diet for the day. So instead she waited for Mai-Fei patiently while buying tickets for them.
~~~~
Jace grimaced for a moment, realizing she was right. He then slid out of the sleeping back, shivering immensely at this point as he placed the sleeping back over his legs. "Hmph."
~~~~
"I know... well I didn't know that more people even wanted to join. I wonder what was with those two?" He asked, referring to Zach and Alma. "They both seemed to be incredibly odd. I mean, that girl..." He blinked, thinking about how he was clung to the entire time by the arm and flirted with. Weird... she also seems so familiar...
~~~~
"Finished zhe adventure? Technically ve had." Alma pointed out as she turned her head. "I really don't vant to help. I already tried offering you help before in monetary value, but you von't take it. I understand perfectly."
~~~~
Just then John was blasted back two hundred feet through several rocks.

"Owwww!" John exclaimed, sniffling. "That hurt..." He mumbled, still crying. "I didn't wanna be raped by dead people..." He sniffed.
~~~~~
"... We never got any closure... You aren't done until then... We've been beaten to the punch twice... That's not over... We just keep going until we've finally gotten our prize... Otherwise it's just giving up..."
~~~~~
'What about her?' The summoner motioned, seeming belligerent at this point.
~~~~~
"I knew that you would come around." Aria said, suddenly clinging to him, and apparently having gotten nude while Jace wasn't paying attention.
~~~~~
"... Popcorn chicken covered nachos." Mai-Fei said.
