Xer was still sitting in teh corner when suddenly, outta nowhere, pain started shooting through his right hand, all teh way up his forearm. He moved forward outta teh corner, clenching his feet, holding his hand in his other hand's vice, and beat it against teh ground. (Meanwhile, Chibi and Sakura ran by carrying teh entire dessert table, leaving in their wake a few unconscious dessert lovers, with Shikamaru and Naruto hot on their trail. "Quick, Naruto, I'll go around to teh right and cut them off, now, listen carefully, because timing is everything, then when...") "Hi, need a hand?" Came a familiar voice from teh left of him. "W-wha-you're!" Xer gasped, almost forgetting teh pain, almost. ("Chibi, Chibi, Chibi, Chibi," repeated Roy, as he faced off against an inconsolable Chi-uh-Ed, together tramsuting then destroying about everything around them. Hakkai sat right in teh eye of teh storm, completely unharmed, and sipped his tea. "My, they certainly are lively.") "I'm sorry," said Laura, eyes downcast. "You... what?" "These past couple of days were really painful, you know? And with what all kinds of trouble you always get yourself into, I had no idea if you were alive or dead, and I..." "Yeah, I understand, there's no cause to say any more about it." "Don't ever let me do something crazy like that again." "If you say so." (Somewhere nearby, Michael blew up a few random walls, because that's pretty much his favorite passtime.) teh both embraced one another tightly, tears flowing, from each. Laura grabbed Xer's hand, dug her fingers into it, and gave it a firm pull. "Ow, thanks." "No problem." Xer thought something to Laura, and she just smiled and increased her flow of tears. (Chibi and Sakura fled in terror from teh Gokus, one swinging his staff wildly and teh other throwing ki every which way, since they'd run outta food at teh regular food tables. Shikamaru and Naruto perched on a tree branch a good ways away. "I think we should just sit this one out, Naruto." "Oi!") They sat and watched teh sky together for hours. That managed to be both touching AND hilarious, Xer! Thanks for a good stor--- WHAT!!!!?? They ran off WITH teh ENTIRE DESSERT TABLE!!!!? DAMMIT!!! I've been so BUSY writing stories I NEVER GOT ANY DESSERT!!!!!!!! *STOMPS OFF in RAMPAGE of her OWN--which makes HAKKAI nervous!!!* Hakkai, backing away--"Eh.....Why is she looking at me like I'M "dessert"....?!"

Riiiiiiight. If you were in my position, would YOU be painting your toenails? Maybe. I can paint and watch at teh same time. But I'd be much more likely to be painting my fingernails.

Or teh random sky shot of a single bird flying over head...that's annoying too! Unless it's teh bird from Naruto that says "A-ho! A-ho!" (sp?) which means stupid if I remember correctly. Depending on where yer at...in say...Tokyo 'aho' is a very rude way of saying idiot. Pretty much a swear. While over in...Osaka I think it is....'baka' is teh rude way....I think thats how it went...its been awhile since I've talked to Ryu about language.....

There was another long silence before either of them spoke again....... "So where does Nathan fit into this, Schu--What did he SAY to you?" Schu *sighed* again, and threw one last pebble into teh lake-- "It wasn't so much what he SAID, actually.....but what he was SEEING--in his mind--Kitten......Ever since that day, when Crawford rather "gleefully" told me how I was gonna' die, I've told myself he was LYING, that he COULDN'T really "see" into teh Future, or at least, not that FAR..........But....when I began to pick up...."images" from that wizard-prophet-WHATEVER-he-calls-himself, they were..................Pel...They were EXACTLY what Crawford had DESCRIBED to me-- EXACTLY!!!" He had turned to look at her when he said this, and Pel saw teh tortured FEAR in Schu's green eyes--she reached out a hand to touch his face--and suddenly Schu's orange-haired head was within teh circle of her arms, his face pressed tightly against her shoulder as he tried to hold in teh tears that squeezed out thru' his shut eyelids...... "I'm SO AFRAID, Kitten! Afraid that what Crawford and Nathan SAW was REALLY my DEATH, a death I CAN'T ESCAPE!!" Pel held him for a long time, then, until he managed to finally get teh tears and terror under control once again, and teh shuddering that ran thru' him calmed to only an occasional gasp......... Not moving from his rather comfortable spot, partially in Pel's lap and with his face now resting against her bosum, Schu decided to admit-- "You know, Kitten--You're teh ONLY person who's ever SEEN me so...."vulnerable"--besides Farfie, that is....." She laughed a bit, "I GUESS I'll take that as a "compliment", of sorts....." He sat up, then, and looked into her eyes, very SERIOUSLY-- "You SHOULD, you know, Kitten--There was a time I would have KILLED someone for knowing such things about me!" Pel looked BACK at him, her eyes JUST as serious--"But....NOT any more..." He shook his head slightly, still HOLDING her gaze... "No....not any more.....Kitten..." To be Continued-- [*ACK!* Sorry, Pel! Everytime I think I'm DONE, it just keeps wanting to GO a lil' further!!] ***SPOILERS WARNING!!!***So.........Schu and Pel just SAT for awhile, side by side on teh shore of teh lil' lake, not speaking, but communicating, nonetheless........... Finally, Pel asked, "So.......How DID you escape from that whole "sinking island" mess, then, Schu?" He smiled a bit, rather ironically--"Farfie dragged me on shore, which is a GOOD thing, since I'm NOT much of a swimmer, myself.........I don't know if it was his way of saying "Thank You" for what I'd done for him earlier, or just ANOTHER of his efforts to piss-off God--with Farf, it ISN'T always a "good idea" to ask too many questions, ya' know? He's LIKELY to give you an Honest answer! Anyway, we've been a team, more or less, SINCE then.....well, until we ran into YOU, that is, Kitten...." Pel smiled, then before she could ask her NEXT question, Schu "read" it and answered--"As far as I know, Crawford DIDN'T make it to shore, which is fine by me.......Nagi was rescued by that Yohji--always kinda' LIKED him, even IF he worked for "Weiss"; it was Aya I had "problems" with--and teh LAST I heard, Nag had "settled down" with teh only surviving Schrient, Tet, somewhere in teh countryside of Japan.....Nagi had lost his desire to kill LONG before that, anyway--Crawford probably woulda' demanded I kill him, if it hadn't all fallen apart, FIRST..........Oh, well......who wants to live forever, anyway........?" A shadow crossed Schu's face for a moment, and he moved a bit closer to Pel, feeling cold--she put an arm around his shoulder, noticing that he was shivering a bit, and he again leaned his head against her shoulder........................................... "Um...........Kitten.......?" "Yes?" ".....Do you know that your kimono is a wee bit......"gapping" in teh front? I'm suddenly getting a LOVELY view of your VERY LOVELY BREAS--" *ACK!!!* "WHERE teh HELL DID THAT DAMNED EVIL OBI DISAPPEAR TO NOW!!!!!??" Okay, I'm DONE, finally!

This is why we sewed our obi to our kimono and sewed our kimono so it would stay shut... sure it may be a pain in teh rear getting it ON but at least it'll STAY. Does this mean I get to play with Nathan and der Schu some more?

Okay, I KNOW this is doing things a bit "backwards", but, Hey! We do what we CAN, Right!?
So, without further ado, let teh Official Traditional Reception Activities BEGIN!!! *Trumpets Sound--TA TA!!!*
We begin with teh tossing of teh Bride's Bouquet--ALWAYS a "dangerous sport", especially around HERE, noda!
And, as Liz pointed out, it IS such because of teh number of eligible women "mauling each other" [her words] in their attempts to reach it--AND, because our sweet, "gentle" Katalia has a toss like a Pro Baseball Pitcher, noda!
teh bouquet, moving with near teh speed o' LIGHT [Yes, I DO exaggerate!--but ONLY a lil'] *SMACKS* po' Pel in teh back of teh head, knocking her silly and causing her kimono to gape open [several Husbands are *SLAPPED* by their Wives for noticing this, of course!], richochets off of Emi-chan's head--*OW!*--and BOUNCES off of Xer's to land..............
...............RIGHT into Nuriko's hands--and he wasn't even TRYING!!!
There is a LONG moment of silence...........
--A Blue Lizard, complaining of always being "tired", crawls across a rock......
---A Bird, flying high in teh sky, SWOOPS DOWN on teh lizard, screeching, "A-ho!".............
--and Both teh Lizard AND teh Bird are ATTACKED BY A RAVENOUS HERD OF ROLLING TUMBLEWEEDS, THAT---
..........Did I lose my train of thought.......?
Oh, yeah..........Nuriko and teh Bouquet.........*Ahem!*
SUDDENLY, A HORDE OF SCREAMING SINGLE WOMEN RUSH AT teh INNOCENT CHINESE CROSSDRESSER!!!!!
*eep*
Who JUST manages to toss teh bouquet to CARA before he goes down under a SEETHING MASS OF FEMININE HORMONES!!!!!
[Nuriko is too much of a......er....."Gentleman"? .....to hit ...um...."Ladies"?]
Cara, looking at teh flowers in a rather puzzled manner--"What teh HELL am I supposed to do with THIS!?"
Nuriko, having survived--just BARELY--"*Oro?*" [Lil' Bouquets n' Caras twirl around his head in cartoon manner]

I'm suddenly getting a LOVELY view of your VERY LOVELY BREAS--" *ACK!!!* "WHERE teh HELL DID THAT DAMNED EVIL OBI DISAPPEAR TO NOW!!!!!??" Okay, I'm DONE, finally!Nathan was slowly making his way over to wherever Schu had gone to trying to think of how exactly he was gonna do this. However he threw all caution to teh wind when he heard Pel's "ACK!" and went running. When he saw what teh "emergency" was he fought off a laugh and, as every gentleman should, turned away from teh somewhat exposed Pel. "I knew you people dressed rather riskily here, but I didn't imagine THAT was teh way you wear one of those," Nathan joked as he untied his own sash from his robes (think man-dress, don't worry he's still fully covered) and handed it to her. "Use this to fix yourself," he offered, outta teh corner of his eye he saw Pel's hesitation, "its just for decoration anyway." Cautiously Pel took teh sash and with Schu's help (see he CAN be a gentleman) made herself presentable. "Okay, I'm decient," Pel told teh Prophet. Nathan turned and bowed towards Pel as he kissed teh back of her hand. "Nathan Rahl, ma'am. And as delighted as I would be to say that I was attracted by your charms, it is your friend here I would like to talk to. Seems we had a bad run in earlier and I would like to apologize for that." Schu said nothing but glared at teh wizard, too afraid of what may happen if he tried to "see" what teh wizard's ACTUAL reason for being here was. All he knew was that he didn't trust this wizard. "I see, well, I think I should leave you two alone then," Pel said then turned to looke up at Nathan straight in teh eyes, "but I won't be far and I WILL know if you do anything to hurt him, emotionaly or physicly." Nathan smiled boyishly. "I would never dream of it. Besides, I think it may be good if you stayed as well, if for Mr. Schu's benifit alone." Schu and Pel took a seat and Nathan pulled over a chair and sat in it before he began to explain. "You see. Normal people aren't supposed to see my visions. Visions are for teh prophet alone. And as such only a phrophet can know what a vision actually means. For over nine hundred years I was locked in a room deamed too dangerous because I was a phrophet and those who kept me locked up tried to understand teh meaning of my prophicies. For teh most part they didn't even come close to understanding them, until it was almost to late for most of them." Nathan began starting where he figured he needed to to fully explain what had happened to Schu. "Its unfortunate that Mr. Schu was able to see my vision as I did. I wasn't aware he had that ability, nor was I aware that I was gonna have THAT particular vision. I really didn't mean to see how he would die. Its a joke I play on people who don't understand how my particular gift works. Very rarely do I ever see how people are gonna die, and for that I'm truely sorry," Nathan apologized. "However if there is one thing I've learned over teh centuries its that even if a prophicy is seen, it doesn't mean that it will actually happen. My decendant, Richard, proved THAT one to me, nor will it happen just as I see it." He turned to Schu. "For all we know what we saw could just be a turning point where one 'life' ends and you become a different person. Still teh same life, but in a way not. Much like I understand that Hakkai fellow was Cho Gonu and is now Cho Hakkai. Or there could be a completely different fork that no one knows about. teh future is constantly in motion. So don't take any prophecy litteraly, that only causes you to make it true. Just live, thats all anyone can expect, and forget all this prophecy stuff," Nathan finished with a smile and a flourish of his hand to embelish his speech. With that Nathan stood again and bowed. "I'm sorry for any distress I may have caused, I shall now leave you to think about what I have said and to enjoy each other's company." With that teh prophet dissapeared once again into teh crowd, leaving a thoughtfull Peleia and Schu to think about what he had just revealed to them about Prophecy. To be continued...? Okay... I'm done... Tag to whoever wants to pick it up from here.
