"Well don't take all the fun out of it!" Mani said giggling, jokingly winking and sticking out the tip of her tongue. "It's beef stew, nothing too special. The regular beef, carrots and potatoes. It was quick, i didn't want my little chicky poo to starve... UHHH..." If anime sweat drops were real, there'd be quite a large one making it's way down Mani's face right then. "I mean.... uh... here..." She pulled a bowl out of the cubbard and handed it to Fiona.

Fiona held the bowl and smiled, she was much taller than Mani, practically towering over her. "You're so sweet...we should get married." She was teasing, but part of her really did want to get married. To a nice girl, but due to religious rules and such she couldn't. She took a seat at the table. "Oh do you have any salt...?"

Taking a bite of her pizza, Rosemary shook her head.it was hot, but she didn't seem to notice.she chewed thoughtfully for a moment, then swallowed."no...I always had the chance to be friends with her, and with alot of other people, but I never took it.I like Rika, she's nice, but I just don't care about her enough to make the effort.besides, I'm practically a recluse, and she grew up normal.she has a life and friends on the outside, and outside is a place I have never belonged.it's always that way.I wanted to make friends, but I came from a world that was too different from theirs.I didn't belong on the outside, with the healthy, active people.I always belonged inside, in the dark, something people could see but never touch.like the stars.an ice princess.that's what they called me.beautiful but cold and unreachable, untouchable, distant.I never belonged out there.and I never let anyone else in here.no one else belonged to the dark like me.no one but you..." She said, a faraway look in her eyes.suddenly, she shook her head and looked at him, realizing he had asked a question."the pizza? Yeah, its great! Best you've ever tasted, guaranteed.especially if you put alot of parmesean cheese on it." She said with forced brightness.she took a restaurant style cheese shaker from the table, where she always kept it, and shook a sizable portion onto her slice of pizza."try it, you'll like it.and if you want, you can use the parmesean, too."

"Huh? Married?" Mani blushed, she'd never thought she'd hear anyone say that to her, even jokingly. Mani got her own bowl full of stew and sat next to Fiona. "Here's the salt." She reached onto the counter behind her and set the shaker infront of Fiona. She watched her eat foundly and imagined what it would be like if they were actually to get married.

"Ohhh..." she sounded very excited as she reached over and shook the salt as much as she could, her breasts bouncing as she did so almost slapping her in the face. "There we go...I never eat anything without salt, well most things." she was saying. She looked at Mani and smiled "Shall I feed you?"

Mani laughed at the offer to feed her.

"Haha no thanks dear, I can feed myself thanks." She attempted to take a spoonful of food from the bowl to her mouth but wound up spilling it down her chin as she was distracted by the jiggling infront of her. Fiona was only in a thin silken robe after all, it was hard not to stare. Mani blushed as she dabbed the stew off her chin with a napkin. "Well,,, usually!"

"Haha after dinner, what are we going o do?" She asked her, "Where are we again anyway?"

"Haha, Quebec Canada. If you like there is a bit of a market not far from here. We can go down and I'll show you around." Mani finished her stew and set the bowl in the sink to be washed later on. "I've gotta get in a quick shower before we go any where. I'll put you're clothes in the dryer. They should be done by the time I get out of the shower."


In The Room, Garrie had been able to find a small passage that would lead him to VIRUS' lair. This was going to be a great help once the others returned. He returned to the camp and began to train himself, if he was going to be of any help in the final battle, he'd have to be prepaired.

"Yeah I could use clothes that fit me." Fiona thought on it as she finished. "Of course, that was my parents idea well actually they ordered the wrong size. I guess I have to order my own stuff next time." She managed a small laugh. "Canada huh?...I always liked foreign girls." she stood up and stretched "Ohh you're a really good cook. More wiofe points for you!" she said in a flirty tone.

A smile took Mani's face again and she poked Fiona on the nose with her right index finger.

"Now now, that's enough of that wife talk. Here in these parts we take threats seriously miss. Don't make me make you live up to your words!" Mani said flirting back. She stuck out her toungue and winked as she skipped up the stairs to take a shower.

Fiona chuckled, "Oh wait you can get married in Canada right? Different from Japan...but I'm not really a local there either." She brushed her hair, it was dry now. "Well if we ever have kids you can leave the breast feeding to me," she giggled, she was bit weird that way. "Anyway are you going to bathe?"

"I've been trying to get in there but someone keeps stealing my attention and focus." From where Mani was standing ontop of the stairs she could see strait down the robe Fiona was wearing. Without another word, and with blushing cheeks, Mani turned and entered the bathroom. She locked the door fearing the bubbly blue haired girl might bust in and offer to wash her back for her. Not that she would really mind... but things where just going so quickly... a moment to herself to clear her mind was just what she needed.

So much had happened in such a short time. The Room, the fights, leaving Garrie behind, Fiona comming back with me... Wait... Mani's racing mind paused when as she stood in the hot shower water rushing over her face. Fiona came back here with me.. I wonder... what happened to Tenshi and Vixen... I hope their okay... She hated knowing that until she returned to The Room and reunited with the other members of the group, that she wouldn't know if they were okay or not. Finishing her shower, Mani got dressed and returned down stairs with Fiona's cloths.

"All set, clean and dry! Haha, both me and the clothes!" She said tossing them to the girl.

By the time Mani came back down, the busty blue-haired vixen was sprawled out on the girl's couch watching TV. "Oh you're back, that was fast." She stood up and took her clothes and just started dressing right there in front of Mani, since they were both girls she didn't mind.

"Ahh..that feels better..wow..they feel tighter than usual..ahhhh" she gasped "Maybe my breasts got bigger!" she spoke with excitement, althought they were large enough already. "So where are we going?"

((.......................I'm thinking of making a "friend" for Garrie.thoughts?))

Staying silent while Makoto had stared down at the pizza, still his thoughts were on whether or not he should take a piece and eat it or not. This food was indeed new to him, almost foreign to the point he was afraid it would be poisonous. So for the moment, he just ignored his own stomach and decided to speak with Rose. Hearing her speak about how she was actually the type to stay hidden away from everyone and just watch them from within her home, rather than going out to have fun with everyone. Makoto's smile soon faded into more of a saddened frown, his eyes shifted down back toward the pizza as he remained silent still. Her words had reminded him about himself, Makoto was just like her after-all. Both of them, hidden away from the world; making sure that no one could get near them at all. Hearing that no one had belonged with her within the darkness but himself, Makoto couldn't help but gasp softly as he looked right back up toward Rose. His cheeks flushed a soft crimson color as he knew for a fact that he wouldn't be able to hide those at this point. Placing a single hand upon Rose's other hand that she wasn't using to grab her food, he nodded softly; his own frown fading soon into more of an encouraging smile. "If that is true...then I will be sure to be here for you, whenever you need someone Rose. I promise." Hearing right after, her answering his question on how the pizza actually was. His eyes widened a bit when he had heard how good it was, looking at it he had heard how good it seemed to be to her. For a moment, his body rejected to reach for a piece. Although soon enough, he reached out and grabbed onto a small piece. Staying silent while he stared at the pizza with all it's cheese on it. He leaned forward to take a small bite out of it, after swallowing the first bite. His own eyes widened up in even more shock to notice how good it tasted indeed. "Mmmm! I-..It is good!" He exclaimed, as he quickly finished the first piece he had taken.

((THat sounds awesome Gemini))

Mani smile and respectfully turned her back while Fiona got dressed. She didn't want to be rude if she was to stair, As an artist she admired the naked body of just about any one but sweaty hairy fat men. Just the tought turned her face green and she nearly forgot to answer Fiona's question.

"Just down to the local market place where I sell my paintings." Mani said as she put on her brown barret style cap.

((Cool.should it be male or female, though? Garrie confuses me!))
Rose smiled at Makoto when he placed his hand on hers.she didn't want to give away just how wonderful that small contact felt.when he promised to be there for her, her eyes welled up with joyous tears, though she wouldn't let them fall.to keep her self from sobbing, she took another bite of her pizza."thank you." She said, her voice barely a whisper.she couldn't help but giggle at how much he seemed to enjoy the pizza.she felt bad, though that he had been robbed of such simple experiences.with a thoughtful frown, she watched him, and made a silent promise that when everything was over and done, she would make sure he could live a normal, fun and fulfilling life.she owed him at least that much."I'm glad you like it.have as much as you want." She said, smiling to cover up her thoughts.

"Oh I see, that sounds fun!" she watched her and smiled "Oh don't you look adorable." She smiled and hugged the girl and then look at her, "Do you need me to carry anything?" She was a little eager to help hjer.

While he had eaten the pizza in his free hand, noticing at first on how Rose looked as though she were about to cry. A worried smile covered up his happiness due to how much he enjoyed the pizza. He wasn't too sure why she looked as though she were about to burst into tears, however hearing her right after when she had spoken up lowly on thanking him. Makoto just tilted his head curiously on wondering as to why she would thank him. Shrugging off the thought mentally, he simply continued to eat his own pizza. Still hard to believe to himself on how good this food was. After finishing the first piece of it, Makoto was tempted to grab a second piece and continue to eat. Although, he didn't bother to since he was afraid of himself being a hog for taking all the pieces when Rose needed to eat as well. Hearing out of nowhere while he had stared down at the large pizza, his own mind pretty much screaming at him to take another. The last thing he had expected was when she spoke up on telling him that he was actually allowed to take as many pieces as he wished. Looking back up at her in shock, he was completely unaware about how she had felt inside this entire time. "W-what about you though?...y-you must eat too, we'll need our energy. Especially when we go back to The Room." he explained, a curious frown across his own lips at this point.

Rosemary shook her head, smiling dryly."I don't eat much.one piece is usually the most I can handle.and even if I was still hungry, I'd have to eat fruit or some veggies, because of my heart.pizza isn't good for me, in large doses." She said.she didn't seem sad or upset by this fact; only grimly accepting of her fate."besides, you're the one who was hurt there.who knows if your form in the room will be healed when we get back? You need the energy.go ahead and eat as much as you want, I'll save the rest for later.someone will eat it, even if I don't." She said brightly, though her brightness seemed strained.

Being told from Rose that she wasn't able to eat too much of the pizza due to her heart being weakened. So even if she was hungry, she would have to either eat some fruit if not vegetables. His once curious frown across his lips soon faded into a more sorrowful worried one, his eyes slowly shifted down toward the pizza on the table once more. He was pretty much going to be the only one to eat out of the two of them; although now that he had thought about it. His own eyes widened up lightly to notice that if Rose had realized that she had her heart condition and couldn't eat a large pizza. Did that mean she had pretty much got this for him? Continuing to remain silent, he bit down onto the bottom of his lip before an idea had struck him; immediately causing him to gasp sharply. Makoto quickly looked right back up toward Rose with a confident smile across his lips to cover up his worry. "Rose! y-you said that you can only eat veggies or fruit due to your heart right? How about I make you something?...usually, at my house..I kind of have to cook food. So, there isn't really much meat around the house since..well...I'm not too good with cooking meat anyway; s-so how about it?" he asked in hopes that if Rose truly was hungry, Makoto would be able to make her something to eat at least. Although, when she had spoken up about his wound on his chest and stomach in The Room. He had just remembered about how harmed his body was. Placing a hand over his chest, he looked down to notice there wasn't any hole there any longer. Shocked, he felt around toward his chest and stomach. The wounds weren't there, so he was thinking that if he would return to that world. It was also return? "Yeah, maybe if I get more energy with my physical body here, those wounds will be gone. Hopefully."

Rosemary looked up sharply at Makoto's suggestion, holding back tears.no one ever cooked for her.her father was never around long enough to try, and her mother was just a terrible cook, and she herself barely knew how to boil water, so a real home cooked meal was almost unheard of for her."oh, Makoto-Kun...you would really do that for me...? B-but, I'm the host, I could never ask you to cook for me.it would be impolite of me..." she said, clearly torn over the situation.

Tilting his head curiously while looking back at Rose, he was wondering what her response was going to be about him cooking her some homemade food. Having no idea about her parents never truly making her a true home cooked meal, he had placed down his last piece of pizza on awaiting for her answer. When Rose had spoken up on saying that it would be impolite of her to ask Makoto to cook food for her, he had known that was probably kind of obvious for such a thing of a host. However, he ended up shaking his own head with a nervous smile across his lips. "Well, you won't exactly be asking me to do it. Since..well, I offered." Makoto was never really good with understanding situations of being a host to a group of people who were visiting another person's home. This was due to him never really having anyone he knew visit him at his home ever since the death of his parents. Makoto had to live his life alone in his own home, other than with his Raven; Yukito who was dead now. Unaware about how Rose was actually holding in her own tears, Makoto continued to keep his own smile awaiting for an answer from her.

Rosemary tilted her face towards the floor, so that her hair hid the tears in her eyes.she sniffled a little, and nodded."that would be...wonderful, Makoto-Kun.thank you, so so much." She said, her voice thick and muffled with unshed tears.she tried hard to hide just how touched she was, and just how much it meant to her.at school, during the short few months she had been well enough to go, the other children had called her the ice princess.well, she thought to herself ironically, the ice princess has melted now.

Sera entered her bedroom and threw the door closed from her parent nonstop screaming about where she was planing to go with her life. It's not her fault that she wasn't as skilled in other things like sports or singing. Throwing her bag down on her bed she pulled off her glasses to massage the bridge of her nose. Giving her head a light shake, she situated herself in front of her computer monitor. She had been looking forward to opening a n email that had been in her inbox since lunch. She placed her glasses back on her face and quickly got to her email. Upon opening the blank message her screen began glowing and she fell into it without her knowledge.

________SERAPHIM SONG HAS ENTERED THE ROOM

She finally hit the ground in some unknown area. She looked around wide eyed a second before checking her face for her possibly broken glasses. "Huh?" She stood u and ran to what looked like a deposit of water. Peering into it she saw her reflection a freaked.
"I look like a..a.....one of those demon people~!"
She sighed and her ears slumped with the rest of her. " Well when life gives you lemons.......you notice you can speak fluent English even though you're Italian. Sera took in a deep breath and began looking for any sign of people who were as clueless as she was. " Can't say that today's been boring."

((I have no idea where anyone is @~@))
