Note: Beware, this episode may contain some contagious disease such as laughter, and is only tested on humans. Happy reading! ^_^

It was very, ve-ry funny; imagine Dilandau, who won the 'serious attitude problem' award in the world, in a girl's dress. And a long, baby pink one too. He looked a little bewildered at first, after all, he did just painfully morph from being a girl to a boy. Everyone was taken aback at what had just happened, (well it's not something you tend to see everyday is it?) Anyway, Dilandau scanned in his surroundings, trying to figure out where he was and why he was there, totally oblivious to the fact that he was wearing a PINK dress. A BOY, in a pink DRESS. It was almost too much for the other's to bear, as they were literally fighting back tears of laughter, if they weren't already crying because they were laughing so much. When Dilandau FINALLY caught on as to what they were laughing at, he narrowly missed falling over in anger, as he flew into a rage of utter hatred at those who dared to laugh at him. The poor boy looked very angry and distressed, which wasn't surprising, and marched up to the nearest person to him. The woman who had saved Hitomi and Duo from the dragon.

"HOW DARE YOU LAUGH AT ME!!!"

(Oh dear, this should be fun) Duo thought.

Gasps. (Oh god...I've never seen him so mad before...what are we going to do??) Hitomi thought silently.

BUT, before he got there, or close enough to do something, his foot got caught up in the hem of his dress…..making walking very difficult…..and then tripping up head over heels, landing face first in the ground, arse in air for all to see……his great big knickers; the dress looked like an open marquee with his bum as the main holding pole. As the poor boy tried to clear his vision and execute the embaressment a.s.a.p, he had already given the others a spectacal. He got there in the end, eventually looking as normal as a boy does in a dress….

"Well." She began. "Firstly, you're wearing a girl's dress; and a pink one at that. Plus.." This was virtually impossible to do without laughing. "It kinda suits you." Her shear attitude, to say the least, made Dilandau furious. He was that mad, a huge throbbing vein could be seen on his temple. He was even nearly snorting with anger.

"AAARRGGHHH!!!!!!" He took his best shot to try to hit her, which was a feeble attempt to even try. Now he 'spoke' more calmly, but only just.

"Do you even know who I am, WOMAN?" He said the word as if it was a sin to do so, spitting every inch of hatred and anger he could at her. But she didn't react to it; on the contrary, she was laughing.

"No. Should I?" She said with a smirk on her face. She also seemed very confident in the situation, standing there and crossing her arms, as she watched to see exactly what Dilandau would do. Hitomi thought she was very brave to treat Dilandau like that. Duo, however, was finding it quite entertaining.

"Hey Hitomi, are all men on Gaea like this? Or just him in particular?"

That, was it. He became so mad, he literally got out of control, beyond reason. Then he frantically began to look around him again, like he was searching for something. Then he wandered off, and they all thought it was over...

Whooooosh. Crash. Crackle. The crackling of breaking twigs and tree branches were surprisingly loud, despite the fact the they were in an open area. And where had that echo come from anyway? Hitomi had a bad, sinking feeling about this. Someone was going to die. And very soon, too. Whatever that was in the trees had now emerged -

"It's Allen!" Hitomi exclaimed with relief.

"Hitomi! Watch your back- "

Too late. Dilandau had found a weapon somehow, and he swung the huge branch with devastating speed towards her. But someone intervened - it was the woman. She knocked Dilandau flying sideways, he fell unconscious as he landed. This seemed to have sparked something in Allen, as if seeing him fall unconscious was like seeing the king being attacked. He flew straight towards her, or at least that's what it looked like because he was moving so fast. It's almost scary, and unreal, Hitomi thought. Duo took Hitomi's arm, and dragged her away where it was safer. The two of them fought against each other, interlocked in a fierce battle to the death. Clang. Swoosh. Bang. Clang. Clang. Then..... C L A N G!

This time, the collision of metal was so loud, that it even made the birds in the forest fly away, sending a wave of feathers everywhere. The fighter's now stood their ground, each holding their own, with a sword teasing the opponents throat - with the promise of death. It was then that a strange thing happened, something that no one was expecting to happen. With their eyes connected, they both remained in a state of wonder and confusion, for what seemed like an eternity, before they finally let their swords drop, but still keeping a grip on their weapons.

The silence that followed this 'peace' was eerie to even imagine, let alone listen to. Allen's eyes were like an endless blue sea, with an infinite depth that could hold numerous secrets of every kind. Her eyes were like an evergreen forest which had known no winter, that always bristled with life and vitality, and sparkled with wonder for the world. A kind of deep, rich green that could go on forever if you allowed yourself to be lost in this blissful oasis.

Flash. Allen found himself looking into a pair emerald green eyes, which looked painfully sad and stained with despair. Her eyes were pleading, as if she was asking for forgiveness.

"I know you." He almost whispered in what sounded like a trance. Those eyes seem so familiar...yet these seem different somehow. He knew there had to be a connection between the two…Then it clicked. "You're the one.....the one from my dreams." He said the next word almost breathlessly.

".....Shiden."
