Teach rounded on One the moment they were both back in the Library. “You have no idea how massively you just managed to screw up. I expect this sort of thing from Two or Wong, but you, One?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡyqGjuZAMhQ 維尼
“Hey!” One and Two objected simultaneously.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6tesi9TwQw 維尼
“Shut up! I don’t want to hear a word, not from either of you!” Teach started to massage his temples.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0wPJdvX5vr 維尼
Flashing a worried look at One, Two said, “Look, maybe if you actually told us what the hell-”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡYIxHlK8KWz 維尼
Teach reached up and tore Two’s mouth from his face as though it were a sticker. The now blank skin above Two’s jaw bulged several times before he finally gave up and extended his middle finger at Teach.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡp0BVYkBSfL 維尼
“I need a moment to think.” Teach sat down, his favorite chair appearing moments before he would have fallen to the ground.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡAFcvwt1O49 維尼
With a worried glance at his mouth-less partner, One asked, “What did I do wrong? I mean, Mikaen was bound to have found out sooner or later that the Revs were on Vinta, right?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡEbI6y7G8yv 維尼
“Yes, but later could have meant years, maybe even decades. He’d have a family then, a life in Homestead, things to keep him rooted here, but you’ve changed all of that now.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡAbA1vqDkGe 維尼
One looked blankly at Teach.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pzk9vFAcn 維尼
Sighing, Teach said, “Mikaen’s a Knight, but he’d never abandon his responsibilities as a father and a husband, not to mention his duties to Homestead as Jeronem’s advisor.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfHlkUlB3x 維尼
“Abandon? You mean that there’s a way back to Earth in Ronisgald?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡq7vv1G6NyY 維尼
Teach nodded. “And now, when he finds it, he’ll probably go through.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡOjQkJKhfOT 維尼
Two managed to snatch his lips back from Teach. Smacking them back on his face, he asked, “So what’s the big deal? The norm’s a sentient. He can make a portal anytime he wants, right?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ51YsFlqTna 維尼
“Creating portals isn’t as simple as just waving your hand in the air. It takes years of practice and an enormous amount of energy.” Teach let out another sigh. “Look, I’m not angry, One. In fact, I should have expected this. You were just trying to help out, and that is what you do best. Still, you should have checked in with me before trying anything in the mainstream. Now, we need a new strategy.” 8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4pYE2hsBrR 維尼
“I don’t know, Teach. I find it hard to believe that Mikaen would just leave his fiancée.” One said, shaking his head.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡlxgUsI8Yhm 維尼
“He wouldn’t; he’d take Tirinia with him.” Seeing One’s questioning look, Teach added, “Like I said, it’s complicated.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1oj0phZLjS 維尼
“Fine. So why don’t I just make sure he doesn’t go back? I mean, we’re talking about a portal or something, right? I’ll go to Ronisgald and shut it down, just like that.” One wiped his hands, adding, “No fuss, no muss.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡrulmiVrPiI 維尼
“And what if the Galden have some way of keeping the portal open, or re-opening it?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ34k5hw8ekf 維尼
One snorted. “Then I’ll trash their lab. Y’know, make it look like an accident.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡaa3Lsuh2GX 維尼
“And how do you propose to do that?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDKUKUezKm 維尼
“Well, I was thinking about sending Wong.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡEpsZoj7sQk 維尼
Two let out a snort of laughter. “Yeah, that’d do it.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7VrTDBW6GL 維尼
Teach shook his head. “I’ll need some time to think about the appropriate course of action. Until then, I need you to stay in the Elsewhere. Please, One, trust me that this is important.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡTTWF0UF11v 維尼
With a sigh of his own, One said, “Fine. I promise I’ll stay in the Elsewhere … but I’m not gonna just sit in the Library.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡL4ImOHM1cg 維尼
“Thank you. I’ll let you know the moment I come up with a working plan.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ4qXSMfq8x 維尼
As soon as the door to the Library closed behind them, Two said, “Look, I don’t want to sound like I’m on that idiot’s side, but I have to agree with him on this one. I’ve got a bad feeling about her … this.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡszavber2Ft 維尼
“Her? Wait a sec ... are you saying this is about Teria?” One fixed his partner with an angry glare. “What does Teria have to do with any of this? She’s just a friend!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡXK8hWODuEg 維尼
“One, do you know how strong the tigreth mating instinct is?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡC4HyjuSXq3 維尼
“Not really, no.” One put his hands on his hips. “Do you?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡcE8EG8fqPU 維尼
Two narrowed his eyes. “Nine out of ten tigreth bonds result in marriage. The other ten percent usually end up together anyway, and you can’t tell me that freaky soul-joining crap doesn’t have something to do with it.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡmfLczMvBml 維尼
“You’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m not bonded to her.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7NJMv3tJmU 維尼
“That’s not the point. She’s got you marked, and if you keep hanging around her, she’s gonna find a way to get you back. I tell ya, the sneaky ones are the absolute worst.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡhaUa7YRI6f 維尼
“That’s just because in your experience, the sneaky girls catch you cheating.” One sighed exasperatedly as he continued up the stairs. “Come on, Two, is that really the best you can come up with?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡRPV3durdmI 維尼
Two hurried after One, continuing, “I’ve read her mental profile! She’ll try to get you back if there’s even a smidgen of a chance, and I don’t want to see you lose Luck because of some bizarre psychic pheromone response.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡB14XxTbjHF 維尼
“Let’s talk about Luck for a second.” said One as he opened the door to his floor, “After years of her flirting and provocative advances on her part, I finally feel like I can have a relationship with her, but the day I tell her, she runs off on me.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ5OdvWN0g7 維尼
“So she was a little unnerved at your change of heart.” As they neared the massive television on the back of One’s floor, Two plopped down on the couch, “What did you expect? Like you said, she’s been throwing out signs for years, and suddenly, you’re interested? Hell, even I’d be suspicious.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡKofdmAopRU 維尼
“You’d have your pants around your ankles in a second.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡCrYyRle5ES 維尼
“Well, yeah.” Two admitted, “But in a cautious kinda way.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8IciPktHod 維尼
One leaned against the side of his chair, rubbing his forehead. His day had started out so peaceful; what had happened? What was up with Teach and Two? Where was Luck, and why had she acted the way she did when he admitted his feelings?8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡWLvCxjLddJ 維尼
CRASH! 8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡMGvWsnpCbL 維尼
What was that noise that just came from the dreadnaught bay?8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxg9YzWq0z 維尼
One rushed to the dreadnaught bay door, Two following right behind him. Throwing open the door, One’s jaw dropped.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡlhh5xE1ePE 維尼
The Breath of Fire was in almost perfect repair. The damaged scales and plating had been replaced, the wings had been reattached, and the drones restocked. That shock was nothing in comparison to what One felt when he saw it was Luck who did the repairs.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡafEtwGmII4 維尼
Wearing a dirty pair of coveralls, a black halter top, as well as a blue embroidered bandana to hold back her long red hair, Luck approached the Breath of Fire with an energy resevoir in her Headache-euipped arms. When she happened to glance back and to see One, she accidentally dropped the energy reservoir with a loud clang.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡvKWuLn4SB4 維尼
“One! I-I didn’t realize you were back!” She said, sliding Headache off her arms.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡDjPKRligJL 維尼
One replied somewhat hazily, “I had something I wanted to check out.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡmhH4bobbMn 維尼
Luck followed his gaze and blushed. Holding out her arms and spinning around, she asked, “You like? It’s not my usual style, but I kinda like the feel of these clothes.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡjdmvITyDdq 維尼
“You look adorable.” He heard himself say, his cheeks beginning to feel hot.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡSTyZ2rHoEu 維尼
“Thank you!” Glancing at Two, Luck asked, “And what mischief are you and your apprentice up to today?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2FLBsF4xKs 維尼
“I’m not up to anything.” Two said, sounding annoyed. “As for that spastic little twerp, I haven’t seen him for a few hours, thank god.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6rreAvjPaW 維尼
A smile slipping across her smudged face, Luck called out, “Wong! Your buddy is here!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡzCnNAGhaXE 維尼
A cry of joy erupted from somewhere near the Breath of Fire’s head. Moments later, Wong hopped on one of the dragon’s horns. “Two! My chum! My buddy! My comrade!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡv6CYT4tdZI 維尼
Two took a few steps back, looking more than a little alarmed.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡir9cWwHNeY 維尼
Wong leapt from his perch and landed with barely a thump a few feet from One and Two. He was wearing the same outfit as Luck (including the halter-top, oddly enough) but his overalls were a rather revolting shade of bright orange.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡOfQd9OGQ7q 維尼
“Oh, Two! It’s you, you old sardine! Sorry I haven’t been around for your sagacity, but I was a bit freaked after that burned up body and stuff, and then Luck needed help with the Breath of Fire and I’ve been wanting to get a good look at it ‘cause robots are cool, and oh! Did you hear the good news? Teach told me I’m fully trained and can do pretty much what I want. Two? Guess what I’m gonna do!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ20yUuS04QR 維尼
Two had developed a small facial tic. He looked like he wanted to run away, but was too concerned with his image to let One and Luck see him break.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡh8yEEgVeNM 維尼
Wong held out his arms, saying, “I’m gonna spend more time with you!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8rZGapVqkh 維尼
The crack in Two’s egotistical defenses was audible. His eyes went wide. “No! No, no, no!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4523V3DZWG 維尼
“Yes! I figure now that I’m ready, I can be your new partner, I can call myself Two-And-A-Half, we’ll be so close … if Ichi-san doesn’t mind, that is.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7o9ZGJxtRG 維尼
Two looked at One with pleading eyes. Unfortunately for him, One’s sympathy was in low supply at the moment.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8cFxAPFjQ 維尼
“That sounds like an excellent idea, Wong.” One said with a big smile.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡeB556kL1r1 維尼
Clapping his hands together excitedly, Wong turned to Two. “Then it’s settled! Now for the companionable hug of friendship and joy!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7Amjlpm01Y 維尼
“No! No hugging!” Two barked, backing away.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡUNq3oTwlfs 維尼
Wong held out his arms, chanting, “Hug! Hug! Hug!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡH8B1HmaUno 維尼
“Get away from me!” Two screamed before turning tail and sprinting out the door. Wong followed close behind with his arms outstretched, still chanting “Hug! Hug!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡpDZKEKZib3 維尼
Luck and One looked at each other a moment before bursting into laughter.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3gthTyCyHf 維尼
“He’s a sweet kid,” said Luck, shaking her head, “Strange, but sweet.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡJLqWIMBqBa 維尼
One smiled at her. “I know, and I think Two knows it too. He’d never admit it, of course.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡnXB3AhSLRM 維尼
“Of course.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡS22hUla5fM 維尼
After a moment of uneasy silence, Luck said, “Well, I’d better get back to work.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡWzIEtPUwju 維尼
“Luck, wait.” One took her hand in both of his before she could turn away.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡyUiAcU0CVG 維尼
She blushed at his touch. “I’m sorry, One. I didn’t mean to just run away. It’s just-”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡKwav86DmoL 維尼
One nodded. “I know it was sudden, but my feelings haven’t changed.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9ipls5N5b0 維尼
“Really?” She asked, her green eyes looking up at him with hope.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡyO4f37P11P 維尼
Pulling her close, One said, “Really.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡSapwSWPpJz 維尼
As One moved his face closer to hers, she shied away, “I’m covered in grease.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡdKNkJYoYmk 維尼
He gently ran a finger across a grease smear on her cheek and smudged it on the tip of his nose. “There. Better?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡfhXsZMIIOx 維尼
Luck giggled, unable to contain her smile as she wrapped her arms around him. “Better.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8pal80O7na 維尼
Their lips met. As with any even long anticipated, there were small measures of nervousness and awkwardness at first, followed by a large measure of eagerness from both parties.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2pB4D1nHeM 維尼
“One! Where is that … oh!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡSIYpdA1zYl 維尼
One and Luck broke away reluctantly to see a dripping wet Fate, wearing only a towel. She was looking at them with no small measure of surprise.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3flHKfqNyO 維尼
Luck and One quickly let go of each other, both blushing slightly. Clearing his throat, One said in as nonchalant a voice as he could manage, “Hey there, Fate! How’s it going?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡPXNsc7EDGi 維尼
Blushing slightly herself, Fate tugged her towel a little more tightly, saying somewhat embarrassedly, “I didn’t know you two were … I mean, I didn’t mean-”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡfzkTrobzQS 維尼
Luck slid her hand into One’s. “It’s okay, sis. What’s wrong?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡLI3c3RoYo2 維尼
Recomposing herself quickly, Fate held out a butchered rubber duck, in the center of which was a small camera. “I found this in my shower. I didn’t think anything of it until it occurred to me that I don’t own a rubber duck.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡeK8nsX8fwX 維尼
“Two.” One said in realization.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxD3cTuuKw 維尼
Fate nodded, a look of anger seeping into her eyes. “I traced the camera feed to the computer somewhere on his floor.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡERsr9sOP7g 維尼
One put a hand to his head, muttering, “Oh, lord.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9AFqiEjmN3 維尼
Reducing the duck, camera and all, to a handful of ash, Fate said pointedly, “If either of you see that pervert, you tell him that he’s next.” She flashed her sister a quick smile before disappearing.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡELdctK0xH8 維尼
One shook his head and muttered, “Wouldn’t want to be Two anytime soon.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡWmGq9NLQv7 維尼
Luck squeezed his hand, asking sweetly, “You want to double check my work?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡfO6Fj5Yv31 維尼
Glad for the distraction, One smiled and nodded. As Luck led him closer to the Breath of Fire, he commented, “I didn’t realize you knew how to use Headache.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡBdiFBNsG7e 維尼
“Well, it’s just a modified UBT, right?” Luck tossed him the right-hand unit, donning the left hand unit herself.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡjasgzaXBwK 維尼
“Right, but if memory serves, there was a security feature I added that should have broken the arms of anyone who isn’t me. I’m glad it didn’t go off, but still.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2dLdCL5TL 維尼
“Ah,” Luck said, flexing the metallic fingers of the Headache Unit as it clamped around her shoulder, “But genetic security is only a problem to a norm who can’t alter her DNA.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPruUpeqrt 維尼
One slid the other unit over his arm, nodding. “Good point. Still, you seem to know how to use it pretty well.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOmBqf8wHp 維尼
She shrugged, but didn’t reply. Her work was exemplary. She did as good a job on the repairs as One would have had he done them himself, if not better.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡtFbw8uBe2K 維尼
“You sure you weren’t in the Rangers?” One asked as he examined the completely restored cockpit.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTQxxNV3E6 維尼
“I take it you find the quality of my work satisfactory.” She clasped her hands behind her back and batting her eyes demurely. The effect wasn’t quite the same with her in overalls, but One thought she looked sweet nonetheless.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡnyHZLX6TFB 維尼
“More than satisfactory.” He kissed her on the cheek. Her grease-spotted cheeks turned red.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡjfVZpModks 維尼
One sat down in the pilot chair. It wasn’t as comfortable as the Final Fantasy’s pilot chair. “Not sure what I’m gonna do with her yet.” he muttered, trying to get comfortable.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡt5mVC5a0jt 維尼
“Well, at least it’s not in some power-hungry norm’s hands. Oops!” Luck started toying with a display panel that was flickering. “Musta messed up something in the circuitry.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡDoouwGmYgz 維尼
After working on it for a few moments, she asked off-handedly, “By the way, what was Teach yelling about?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4PEShG9wio 維尼
“You heard that?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡvoNccLoPlE 維尼
“You kidding? I wouldn’t be surprised if Atraius heard that. I couldn’t make out more than your name, but he didn’t sound happy.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡdX3XZ2gQWc 維尼
One let out a sigh. “Remember that assignment I had?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡsGBVK4Eg6E 維尼
“Hmm. Something about some sentient named Mikean or something, right?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡKjIXYXeac0 維尼
Grinning, One said, “Mikaen. Well, something about it’s been bugging me since I was last there, so I dropped in to see him. He was in that Council thing they have on Vinta; they were arguing about the whole incident with the Breath of Fire and the Revs.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡvj3u0kY4y1 維尼
“The Council always was a bunch of bull-crap bureaucracy. What were they talking about … ouch!”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQe8tIfhk6 維尼
Luck snatched her hand back, a faint wisp of smoke rising from the panel.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡjozT4JeL4y 維尼
One hopped out of the chair, concerned. “You okay?’8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡiVVeDNq6V9 維尼
She nodded, sucking her burnt fingertip.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡLgqJcxVszi 維尼
“Must be a bad capacitor. I’ll check it.” He knelt beside the console so he could get a better look at the innards.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡajuctF2wiV 維尼
“What did you do?” Luck asked, the burn on her finger healing in a matter of moments.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4WN8vaAnup 維尼
“I walked into the Council, told them the Revs were involved, and got them to send a small team to Ronisgald. Of course, Mikaen’s gonna sneak out with Tirinia and probably Jeronem and Teria.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡLQUI18nx3s 維尼
“Wow, that’s kinda cliché, isn’t it? I mean, it’s normal for Mikaen and all to do knight stuff, but aren’t Teria and Tirinia technically princesses or something? Do you think they can handle it?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡIoB60vX15a 維尼
One shrugged. “They’re more than capable. Besides, Teria’s going with them, and she’ll definitely keep an eye on the rest, especially Tirinia and Mikaen. There’s nothing to worry about.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡLCZM0OdElA 維尼
“So why did Teach get so mad?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡANSPlPBvp6 維尼
“He thinks that knowing that the Revs are behind whatever’s going on will make him want to go back to Earth and investigate.” One closed the panel. Everything inside looked fine, but the light was still flickering. With a grunt, he banged his unprotected fist on the panel. After a few hits, it stopped flickering.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡOVrt0YQY5I 維尼
“Was he right?” Luck asked as she and One left the cockpit.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡhPUeWiyTPj 維尼
The cockpit slid shut with a mechanical whir behind them. One hopped down to the floor beneath the Breath of Fire’s head, and caught Luck as she jumped after him.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡWba9CEdb1o 維尼
Setting her down, but leaving his arm around her shoulders, One said, “I don’t know. Honestly, I don’t think so. There’s a chance I guess, but there’s always a chance.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡunpACrvq3f 維尼
Luck hugged One as they walked to the doors of the workshop. “S’okay. Teach is just more strategically minded. That’s a good thing though; sometimes crashing through a problem isn’t the best way to do things.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡrPfJqv8cFk 維尼
They turned back to look at the Breath of Fire. From their distance, it looked like a slumbering dragon.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡanbobK7Q4a 維尼
“Luck,” One said uncertainly after a moment, “Do you want to keep the Breath of Fire?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPiq9ngAIf 維尼
Luck looked at him with surprise in her eyes. “You’d just give me a Dreadnaught?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡDpswgo4PZ1 維尼
One nodded. Luck considered it a moment, then shook her head. “It’s not exactly the most romantic thing I’ve ever been offered, but it’s cool. Still …” She looked at the Breath of Fire, frowning. “It just isn’t my style. I’m not really into dragons. I had a bad experience back when I wasn't a Dreamer.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡTHvTMotj5T 維尼
“Oh.” One wasn’t sure what to say.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡTNQH5TPJvz 維尼
Luck hugged his arm to her chest. “Of course, if you’d make a brand new one, just for me …”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡkloL93zQcg 維尼
One perked up instantly. “What kind would you like? Flying? Racing?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡtK5xFyZo3a 維尼
Luck shrugged. “Make one you think I’d like. I’m sure it’ll be fine … just, one thing though.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡCdLwhFJ8P7 維尼
She stepped in front of him, and made One look at her. “Don’t paint it pink.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡwH0bpQPO4W 維尼
They laughed together for a moment, and then fell into silence as they each stared into the other’s eyes.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡikxoQBTqT8 維尼
“Glen, are you sure you want this?” Luck asked, looking slightly worried.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡuDLt9o8GpE 維尼
Rubbing her smeared cheek, One smiled at her. “I’m sure.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡVygqg3whIq 維尼
“Really sure?” She asked insistently.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡkpjxNDoIG4 維尼
“Really sure.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡauNrj04TTR 維尼
They kissed again, still shyly, but longer than the first time.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡmtiTWUSmsm 維尼
The bay door slammed open. “One, we need to go before-”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡy13D7YzwI3 維尼
One and Luck turned to see Two holding the door to the main section of One’s floor closed. His hair was askew, and his shirt was partially hanging out of his baggy pants.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡkCMYwvbQg0 維尼
“Oh …” he began awkwardly, “Sorry. Is this a bad time?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡzJxoWmqSmO 維尼
“You have to go now?” Luck asked, giving One her best puppy dog eyes.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡRXqMWIP0Q8 維尼
One started to shake his head, but Two had already grabbed his free hand and started dragging him toward the exit. “Yes he does. We have to go see, er … Alan Tryth! Right, we need to go see Alan right now.”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡXBxDdPCEN8 維尼
One dug his feet into the ground, stopping Two in his tracks. “Why are you so eager to leave?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡSInsxFHMwF 維尼
As if to answer his question, the door suddenly shook on its hinges.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡCStJoW5wvf 維尼
Wong’s high pitched, singsong voice rang out from the other side. “Ni-san! Isn’t it time for an exciting adventure where we grow closer as friends as we solve a problem with the power of teamwork and friendship and love?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTDDzVqHtd 維尼
Panic spread through Two like the plague. He vanished with a shriek, and not a moment too soon. The door flew open, revealing Wong in full (but mismatched) armor and a gigantic katana strapped to his back.8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡSCpm3Fo8Ea 維尼
Flipping up his visor, he called out, “Twwwwoooo! Where are yooooouuuu?”8964 copyright protection417ＰＥＮＡＮＡarc6sI2BaR 維尼
