Hearts in time part three: Shocking developments
By
Lance The Flamesniper
Matt Blackheart sat in a booth at the Crown Arcade's cafe. He and Wraith had been walking around for three hours. Neither of them had any idea where their associate Lance Jayd was nor could they guess at how he was doing.
"Man this sucks!" Matt growled.
"I wouldn't go that far. At least this instant translation thing seems to still be working," Wraith drawled.
"Which is something we are not doing. WE haven't had any luck at finding a job."
Just then who should wander in but their errant friend. It was a strange visage at first until it dawned on them as to what was different. He looked so strange because he happened to be smiling.
"And exactly what is your problem?" Wraith asked as that exceptionally sugary appearance started to irk him.
"Yeah, if you get and more saccharine I'm going to get cavities!" Matt added.
"Nothing really," Lance replied his smile getting even bigger, much to the irritation of his partners.
"Yeah right!" Matt snapped.
"Come one man if you got any more cheery I'd have to kill you on principle. Now fess up!" Wraith snarled.
"All right, no need for violence," placated still smiling Lance. "I got a job and a date on the same day."
"What?!" Both men fairly screamed.
"Yep I got a job working as a caretaker for the Cherry Hill Temple and who should I run into there but literally the girl of my dreams."
"You have got to be kidding," Wraith stated.
"Nope she's real alright. Right down to the green hair and lovely magenta eyes," Lance replied with a tone that bordered on day dreamy.
"Okay stop it," Matt said.
"Stop what?" Came Lance's reply.
"Stop with that love sick looks. No woman can possibly be that good looking," Came Matt's tart reply.
As if to contradict him, a tall girl around the age of twenty walked into the Cafe. She had brown hair sparkling green eyes and a figure that spoke of hours a day spent working out. She was dressed in a long sleeved black shirt paired with a light green skirt and matching shoes. She had her brown hair up in ponytail held in place with a bolo-style hair tie.
"That, is one beautiful woman," Matt said as his mouth suddenly went dry.
Lance could only smile in amusement at his friend as Fate once more began dealing in his favor.

"No! No! NO!" The dark lord Necros roared as Chronos once more claimed one of his pieces. "Curse you Chronos and your sneaky ways!"
Chronos smiled. The game, which looked a lot like a role playing game due to the various pieces made to resemble people and Youmas, had been going on for Millennia. Each time Chronos, who wasn't always nice to his pieces managed to get the upper hand. The endgame was coming and with it would be the reckoning that Necros so dearly deserved.
"It's not my fault that my newest piece is so strong," The master of time replied. "Nor is it my fault that his support pieces are equally strong."
"We'll just see about that!" Necros growled as he summoned yet another Youma to go after the piece called Lance Jayd.

Lance leaned in close beside Matt's head watching what Matt was looking at. Gravity had already pulled his hapless friend's jaw slightly toward the floor and his eyes seemingly were frozen in the open position, as he'd not blinked since the girl came in.
Wraith, naturally, was the first to say something. "You know if you don't move soon, your face will stick that way..."
"Lance, tell Wraith to kindly shut up," Matt said as continued to stare.
"You know buddy, staring is really rude," Lance said an amused smile twitching at the corners of his lips.
"Then what do you suggest I do?" Matt snapped.
"Well why not going and introducing yourself, like a civilized person would?" came Lance's simplistic retort.
"Are you insane !? I can't do that!" Matt replied, sounding as if the very idea was terrifying.
"Why not?" Wraith replied.
"Look at her you morons! She's beautiful. If I ask her out her boyfriend or husband will beat me up!"
"Uhm Matt," Lance began. "She's alone."
"The moment I go over there, some man will appear and pummel me."
"If you don't go over there I'm going to pummel you," Wraith said, his voice dropping to a menacing growl.
Still Matt balked. Until Lance got to his feet...
"W-what are you doing Lance?!" Matt screeched.
"I'm going to walk up to that young woman and point her over here. From there, you are on your own."
"Y-you Can't!" Matt said his mind racing at warp speed.
"Watch me," Lance returned, his voice taking on that iron edge that matched his sword skills.
Matt wanted to call Lance's bluff, but he knew Lance didn't bluff. That being the case Matt watched as each step took him closer to the woman who had seized his attention...

&n bsp; Lita's day had been rather relaxing. She'd not had to fight a youma or had a soufflé fall flat all day. She'd slipped in the Crown Arcade for a light snack before heading home. Mina had offered to go out dancing with her later in the evening; however, something had told her she should probably decline the offer. When she got to the Arcade there was a cluster of men who couldn't have stood out more if they tied in one of the booths. Still they seemed harmless enough. Especially the one with staring problem. Still despite the apparent lack of manners he looked kinda cute...
Just then she caught one of them get up out the corner of her eye. It was the man with the sand colored Hair. For a moment he looked as if he was vaguely familiar in a hazy way but she dismissed that as the man began to walk toward her. In a few moments he was right beside her.
"Hello ma'am," He said. His voice was smooth and measured with a slight richness.
"Hello," She answered.
"My name's Lance Jayd, my friends and I are new to the area."
"I'm Lita Kino. I'm pleased to meet you."
"Likewise. My friend Matt there couldn't help but notice that you are a very beautiful girl."
Lita looked the man named Lance over. She'd heard that line used before as a pickup line. However, one look into those blue eyes and she knew he was being honest. "So why are you over here talking if your friend thinks I'm so attractive."
"Do you want the honest answer or for me to be nice?"
"Honest."
"He was afraid your boyfriend or husband would pummel him for talking to you."
At that Lita laughed. "He has no fear of that, I'm very much single at the moment."
"Quite the shame then, that my friend is rather shy," Lance sighed. "He is interested in you though."
"I guess I could go over and introduce myself," Lita said as she got out of her chair.

Amara Ten'ou stared in disbelief at the dazed look on Setsuna's face. It was an odd look, at least to those who knew her. She'd gone through battles that would have broken normal people without flinching. Apparently though something had happened during the day that she wasn't prepared for.
"You okay Suna?" Amara asked her normal image as a hard case dropping momentarily.
"I'm not sure..." Suna answered.
"How can you not be sure if your okay or not?" Michelle asked as she joined her partner in questioning.
"Michelle, I went to the Cherry Hill Temple today and there was a Youma battle."
"Oh my!" Michelle replied. "Were you or Raye hurt?"
"No, that's where things started to get confusing. In the middle of this battle a man with a katana appeared and defeated the demon."
"A man," Amara repeated.
"With a katana," Confirmed Setsuna.
"And he defeated this monster?" Michelle asked.
"Yes. Then he..." Setsuna began then paused to collect her thoughts.
"He what?" Amara asked her mind already jumping to murderously wrong conclusions.
"He asked me out." Setsuna replied and Amara's face fell. Of all the things she could have expected, THAT was not one of them.
