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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡXT4hIH4EOw 維尼
“Hey!” One and Two objected simultaneously.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzXZhaB1tT 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡoOPkQ8i1XS 維尼
Flashing a worried look at One, Two said, “Look, maybe if you actually told us what the hell-”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡUVrQV6RUyY 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkDTNyTnoY 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡpnJi1d9YvI 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡjbbhgyVO1s 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3MQdeSQpwI 維尼
One looked blankly at Teach.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡMbSxddI13R 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡuFtScbKIyM 維尼
“Abandon? You mean that there’s a way back to Earth in Ronisgald?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡznpSDMNMNz 維尼
Teach nodded. “And now, when he finds it, he’ll probably go through.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡtdbDpGzMs7 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡhcnYhFhfyQ 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡjwhr0KywTd 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡPqFGgZNb4m 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡIUQJ33XzFe 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡEppeoO7boX 維尼
“And what if the Galden have some way of keeping the portal open, or re-opening it?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡK3g99yuKDW 維尼
One snorted. “Then I’ll trash their lab. Y’know, make it look like an accident.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡXpWt6SFWP2 維尼
“And how do you propose to do that?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡbRGHvUjol0 維尼
“Well, I was thinking about sending Wong.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡvislI7lPTy 維尼
Two let out a snort of laughter. “Yeah, that’d do it.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8SEsljld8g 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡZdl15HkdW2 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡBLb15buR7G 維尼
“Thank you. I’ll let you know the moment I come up with a working plan.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡs4tw4ntF9q 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡJzlTy5Lk7S 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKckqxKmemf 維尼
“One, do you know how strong the tigreth mating instinct is?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡPMHWS4ktT0 維尼
“Not really, no.” One put his hands on his hips. “Do you?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡHFiu2LzgZS 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡrIikxGxpRD 維尼
“You’ve got nothing to worry about. I’m not bonded to her.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡO9rdTU8t2Z 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2nDlghTmow 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡJPdvWTqsme 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡtklbwwv775 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6ns2YPnpin 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrb8oolIIU 維尼
“You’d have your pants around your ankles in a second.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡcOHA342TnW 維尼
“Well, yeah.” Two admitted, “But in a cautious kinda way.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡGV6Hkdf4RC 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡOBuVStD0n6 維尼
CRASH! 8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡiNteH6No2b 維尼
What was that noise that just came from the dreadnaught bay?8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1JcdHptsW1 維尼
One rushed to the dreadnaught bay door, Two following right behind him. Throwing open the door, One’s jaw dropped.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡN8Id3clrHY 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡL0E4SKLFbP 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡxBfjmvOXVS 維尼
“One! I-I didn’t realize you were back!” She said, sliding Headache off her arms.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡAr8BM1SUDq 維尼
One replied somewhat hazily, “I had something I wanted to check out.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mzRl3nZSh 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡX93f7caeon 維尼
“You look adorable.” He heard himself say, his cheeks beginning to feel hot.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡSX0nbotUDv 維尼
“Thank you!” Glancing at Two, Luck asked, “And what mischief are you and your apprentice up to today?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMNwK30KBq 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡQYSGRXXNkS 維尼
A smile slipping across her smudged face, Luck called out, “Wong! Your buddy is here!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡtI2QARafXL 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ73FzkVUxGQ 維尼
Two took a few steps back, looking more than a little alarmed.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡGCC5nug8fB 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡye1OTr5QV8 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡRiU7ApfgWA 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡAlm7ntCFLC 維尼
Wong held out his arms, saying, “I’m gonna spend more time with you!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡQTQIzPxim9 維尼
The crack in Two’s egotistical defenses was audible. His eyes went wide. “No! No, no, no!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡUBwhUlXva9 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡciXfgboMQb 維尼
Two looked at One with pleading eyes. Unfortunately for him, One’s sympathy was in low supply at the moment.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡGu2MkwhYIL 維尼
“That sounds like an excellent idea, Wong.” One said with a big smile.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡr7i5i898s4 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡE6zOEXV322 維尼
“No! No hugging!” Two barked, backing away.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡBzkgzhw6a7 維尼
Wong held out his arms, chanting, “Hug! Hug! Hug!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡFMMoSsMwYi 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡRbmkDXE5In 維尼
Luck and One looked at each other a moment before bursting into laughter.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKop9DvqfKv 維尼
“He’s a sweet kid,” said Luck, shaking her head, “Strange, but sweet.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡi3t8i4Ltph 維尼
One smiled at her. “I know, and I think Two knows it too. He’d never admit it, of course.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡa3IAUGueC8 維尼
“Of course.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0I1d1BhgKy 維尼
After a moment of uneasy silence, Luck said, “Well, I’d better get back to work.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡolXLb3GFEz 維尼
“Luck, wait.” One took her hand in both of his before she could turn away.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡQVi7FLH0LV 維尼
She blushed at his touch. “I’m sorry, One. I didn’t mean to just run away. It’s just-”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡqMJrzkYkHm 維尼
One nodded. “I know it was sudden, but my feelings haven’t changed.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡVvXPlxcYSl 維尼
“Really?” She asked, her green eyes looking up at him with hope.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKbF98iUa7e 維尼
Pulling her close, One said, “Really.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡCzcIy2qFoi 維尼
As One moved his face closer to hers, she shied away, “I’m covered in grease.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡPmthp544hh 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡiBOWk1WAk8 維尼
Luck giggled, unable to contain her smile as she wrapped her arms around him. “Better.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡXU0vcYy35J 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡBhMCKwGC5h 維尼
“One! Where is that … oh!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡL29SQdvtim 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡnieIweEakw 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSnGbm85mq 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡJUIAS5SPUi 維尼
Luck slid her hand into One’s. “It’s okay, sis. What’s wrong?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2wOxZzNW2E 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡV92DxAntF6 維尼
“Two.” One said in realization.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ259W7wXCUV 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡz4u97PZbKs 維尼
One put a hand to his head, muttering, “Oh, lord.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡObqaOIWBvD 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡnm1XPxgRe7 維尼
One shook his head and muttered, “Wouldn’t want to be Two anytime soon.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡTsojE9MJJm 維尼
Luck squeezed his hand, asking sweetly, “You want to double check my work?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡsZmZFOVKEA 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡeEkCpkuogR 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1VMIzkAOjW 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡhOpXiVIUmg 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKTnbXMVN90 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡARXcIpXSri 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡsqSKkGACQ8 維尼
“You sure you weren’t in the Rangers?” One asked as he examined the completely restored cockpit.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡTYHaOoJ3z7 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡHTXWIHfmPs 維尼
“More than satisfactory.” He kissed her on the cheek. Her grease-spotted cheeks turned red.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTydVKV4Ey 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡisRUvXdBkK 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡbX7jRgMUx5 維尼
After working on it for a few moments, she asked off-handedly, “By the way, what was Teach yelling about?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5FA2YjZ29G 維尼
“You heard that?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡu4hlPpOChd 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡaThmznYiox 維尼
One let out a sigh. “Remember that assignment I had?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡshvu8ksl82 維尼
“Hmm. Something about some sentient named Mikean or something, right?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKj8nuPb5jX 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡG9L4uFaVj8 維尼
“The Council always was a bunch of bull-crap bureaucracy. What were they talking about … ouch!”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡmz5fMzpn6v 維尼
Luck snatched her hand back, a faint wisp of smoke rising from the panel.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡIcEeKfD0tv 維尼
One hopped out of the chair, concerned. “You okay?’8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡY5MqK5DIrO 維尼
She nodded, sucking her burnt fingertip.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡxkiiRQz49G 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡkGa5zEUNvQ 維尼
“What did you do?” Luck asked, the burn on her finger healing in a matter of moments.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5JfdZ0hYhu 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡEc4Rt8SuJ9 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡB7MXj3lZ7G 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡidZwbQDQdh 維尼
“So why did Teach get so mad?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡJFk7eB8odn 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI7WVpTXXZ 維尼
“Was he right?” Luck asked as she and One left the cockpit.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡX0ESuDY5QE 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡNs1Jtf5uI8 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡyZuCmlRmKw 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡrsdCOUIOeY 維尼
They turned back to look at the Breath of Fire. From their distance, it looked like a slumbering dragon.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9X8VDTpem2 維尼
“Luck,” One said uncertainly after a moment, “Do you want to keep the Breath of Fire?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡMgL17JwVk4 維尼
Luck looked at him with surprise in her eyes. “You’d just give me a Dreadnaught?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ32Otj7zKSs 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡsBSAUnO65x 維尼
“Oh.” One wasn’t sure what to say.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡLzVxqrIaE5 維尼
Luck hugged his arm to her chest. “Of course, if you’d make a brand new one, just for me …”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡL7kQBT9IgV 維尼
One perked up instantly. “What kind would you like? Flying? Racing?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9mvjYRp6kL 維尼
Luck shrugged. “Make one you think I’d like. I’m sure it’ll be fine … just, one thing though.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡoGNl5nzmpM 維尼
She stepped in front of him, and made One look at her. “Don’t paint it pink.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡYxh1FE6ZcK 維尼
They laughed together for a moment, and then fell into silence as they each stared into the other’s eyes.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡDCAxTZCoV6 維尼
“Glen, are you sure you want this?” Luck asked, looking slightly worried.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡos6l3aOsxd 維尼
Rubbing her smeared cheek, One smiled at her. “I’m sure.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡJgR5cYyljK 維尼
“Really sure?” She asked insistently.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡSw68FtRNIl 維尼
“Really sure.”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡKMp1p9X8V2 維尼
They kissed again, still shyly, but longer than the first time.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡQQmh4vNW2F 維尼
The bay door slammed open. “One, we need to go before-”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡhvXtoN9Kmj 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡFYKtZLkVh6 維尼
“Oh …” he began awkwardly, “Sorry. Is this a bad time?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡWD5HaFFxzV 維尼
“You have to go now?” Luck asked, giving One her best puppy dog eyes.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡI1I2udbzMF 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡHr0Cch0sib 維尼
One dug his feet into the ground, stopping Two in his tracks. “Why are you so eager to leave?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡjiYmgocrfr 維尼
As if to answer his question, the door suddenly shook on its hinges.8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡioSERxLvqx 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡoUYkbOyUx4 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 protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡYCiI1dHvh6 維尼
Flipping up his visor, he called out, “Twwwwoooo! Where are yooooouuuu?”8964 copyright protection324ＰＥＮＡＮＡG7DwB6kbxH 維尼
