"AHHHH!"

-Insert SKJFKSJFKSJFKSJFKNMAnfrqwijr and a slap here.-

"ZIDANE TRIBAL, YOU INCORRIGIBLE MONKEY!  HOW MANY TIMES ARE YOU GOING TO----"

-Deny it as much as she'd like, Makina always had a problem with her temper.  The living sometimes bothered her to no end, and there were times she wanted to snap someone's limbs off, but couldn't do so without probable cause due to her contract.  So, when someone offered to be her punching bag, Makina couldn't refuse.-

-The terms were simple.  No weapons of any kind, that meant no firearms.  Only the use of their own abilities would be allowed, and that suited Makina fine.  She had plenty of supernatural strength to spare.-

"Hope you're ready for this, because I am!"

-There was no beating around the bush when it came to Judal.  Aqua hadn't known him for long, but there was one incident where they were forced to cooperate, and since then, they've had a...strange friendship.  Of course, Aqua could never bring herself to hate many people, so it was safe to say they got along pretty well.-

-But if there was one thing Aqua never saw Judal do, it was show emotional weakness.  Until one day...-

-Aqua was just about to start playing one of the many tunes she knew on her violin, when she heard the door open.  Wayfinder had been picking up business lately, so it was no surprise she'd get customers.  Plus she was pleasantly surprised when it was Judal standing at the door.-

"Hey. Long time no see Judal.  How are you---doing..."

-Her voice began to falter when she noticed Judal was staring at his feet.  Something was wrong, her heart could just feel it.  Aqua approached, and saw a brief twinkle near his cheek.  When she got closer, she noticed he was...crying.  Judal, the magi that was best described as arrogant and cruel, was crying.  To be brought to such a state had to be something so important to the male, that he would break down into such a pitiable state.-

"..."

-But pitiable or not, Aqua wasn't the kind of person to turn someone away.  Plus, she had experienced pain just like anyone else.  So, regardless of Judal's height, or if he even minded, she closed the distance between them ever so slowly, then pulled him into a hug where Judal's chin would rest on Aqua's right shoulder.-

[This Is Halloween]

-At first she thought she was dreaming, but Aqua knew that this was not the case, for she was still in the same living quarters that she had since arriving in Pandora. In fact, the violin across the room was testament to that.  However, be that as it may, she was certain she didn't go to sleep wearing a cape. Or overalls.-

-She had heard about this once; a world that changed the appearance of others to fit the theme that they represented.  Perhaps the Goddess had taken a page out of this world, because it certainly fit the theme; dark and mysterious.  Further proof came when she started hearing a thumping outside, and a strange moaning.-

-A shiver ran down Aqua's spine at that point, but it wasn't fear, it was that goosebump feeling when you know something's about to jump out at you.  A frown formed on her face soon after.  She thought she had grown out of those horrid ghost stories Terra told to scare Ventus and herself, but she had to admit, this entire thing was creepy.  Nonetheless, Aqua braved the door and opened it slowly.-
