Something irreversible?

Marriage...or something, I dunno. You got out before things could get really, really serious, I guess.

Yeah, we're both way too young for that.

Yeah...but if you had kept dating a few years...

[Derp...]

Well, I guess I don't have to worry about that now.

Nope. And I think that's a positive. Seriously. How rough would that be? Till death do you part...with someone who you can only kiss and walk on the beach with.

There's definitely worse marriages than that out there. But yeah, I know what you mean.

Exactly. See, you dodged a bullet seed.

[She reaches over and squeezes Chie on the shoulder.]

But I am sorry, that it happened.

It's okay. Maybe I'll find someone with more compatible interests, who knows.

I'm sure you will. There are lots of magikarp in the sea, after all.

Heh...it's funny though. I'd never have guessed she'd be the one leaving. You're kind of incredible, so it's her loss either way.

I don't think I'm really anything all that special, but thanks, Yukiko.

Hey now, I'm not just saying that. You're special to me. And you're special to everyone in Union. You're strong and brave. Like a fighting princess. Who...throws around magic ice.

[She...didn't think this analogy through well.]

That one kind of fell apart on you halfway, didn't it?

Yes. But...you're still a fighting princess.

[She got that part right!]

Yeah... maybe I can be a princess for a while.

Just...don't get kidnapped by any dragons, okay? I don't have a Fairy type yet, and I doubt Teddie is really capable of setting anyone free.

It's okay, I can deal with dragons.

[Chie grins, flexing her arm and grinning.]

Ice type, remember?

Oh! Right! Then I guess you can rescue yourself. Until you run into a Fire and Psychic or something. There aren't any dragons like that though...

[She's totally losing herself in a fantastic story now.]

So I guess that means...you get to be the paladin or something. A crusader of icy justice.

So a brave knight? I can get behind that.

[She was worried Yukiko was going to go toward the 'prince' angle. That's what Maki used to call her, so she wants to stay away from that one right now.]

Yes, a brave knight. I for one know I can count on you to save me.

[No, you are not a prince. Chie, you'll always be a girl to Yukiko. And princes are boys. Or something. She...doesn't think about gender roles much.]

That's right! Whenever you're in trouble, I'll come running.

I'd hope so. But I hope I don't need rescuing too often. I'd...kinda like to save you too, you know.

Well, I hope I don't need it that much either.

[Chie laughs, rubbing the back of her neck.]

Let's just try not to get into too much trouble, okay?

Definitely. We'll just have to have one another's back.

[She grins.]

Which...I guess means I should tell you I'm planning a trip to the islands down south. Just so you don't worry. But you can come too. If you can get the time off.

Sure, I'm always up for a trip! I can probably swing a few days.
