        The group was in the community centers culinary class as they were all enjoying the cake that the crusaders made when Mise asked the two “So did you two have fun singing?” Mise asked the two making the two blush and look away as Indigo had her fork still in her mouth making Mise chuckle a bit at the two`s actions as he asked a real question “Ok what’s on the agenda for tomorrow?” Mise asked as Fang nodded and set his plate of cake down and pulled a notebook out of his pocket and flipped through the pages a bit and found the list and spoke “Tomorrow we need to clean up trash on the highway.” Fang said as Indigo let out a groan and spoke “Ugh...when is this nightmare going to be over….?” Indigo asked as Fang shook his head and said “Not for another 12 days Indigo, but we just need to tough it out until then.” Fang said trying to keep a chipper mood on the light of things as Indigo just groaned in response and continued to eat their cake in peace.

Time Skip: The Next Day…….

        Fang and Indigo were now on one of the highways of Canterlot as Mise drove up to the two in his tank as he climbed down with garbage bags and trash sticks as he then climbed back up to his tank when Indigo spoke “Hey where are you going?” Indigo asked Mise as he spoke back to the two “I’ve been spending too much time away from Octy, so i’m taking her out to eat, i’ll be back to check on you later.” Mise said as he climbed in and drove off leaving Fang and Indigo on the desolate highway as Fang spoke “Well this sucks….. But we should get to work if we want to get this done.” Fang said to Indigo as she nodded and the two began to work by picking up the trash left on the side of the road as Indigo spoke “I’ll take this side, you take that side, try not to get hit because I don't have a shovel to scrape you up with.” Indigo said as Fang let out a dry laugh and spoke “Ha ha very funny Indigo, let’s just keep focused on this.” Fang said to Indigo with a tone with no emotion behind it. “Yeah, whatever…..EWWW WHAT IS THAT, UGH!!” Indigo yelled as she came across a flattened, rotting animal on the road as Fang said “That is what they call roadkill…..Though it looks familiar somehow…..Uh anyway, we can’t get that since we don’t have a shovel so they leave them to animal clean up crew, not us.” Fang said as he was picking up a few cans with the stick. “Yeah, you’re right, anyway let's keep going.” Indigo said as she looked back at it ‘I swear that thing’s eye is following me.’ Indigo said in her head when Fang recoiled a bit “What in the name of eight deities is that!” Fang yelled pointing at something with the stick as Indigo walked up to see “Oh come on! You mean to tell me you don't know what this is?” Indigo said sticking it and holding it up towards Fang.

        Fang recoiled back and said “HELL NO! AND WHY DOES IT HAVE SO MUCH BLOOD ON IT?” Fang screeched at the top of his lungs. Indigo smirked from ear to ear as she then spoke “I’ll give you a hint, it's something every girl needs, myself included, 12 times a year.” Indigo said. Fang began to feel like he was going to puke as he spoke “I-Is t-that….. A u-used….?” Fang asked as Indigo nodded with a huge smirk on her face “that’s right….a tampon….what’s the matter afraid it’ll bite?” Indigo said teasingly. Fang backed up more as Indigo walked forward with it trying to make sure he got a closer look as he spoke “G-Get that….. T-Thing away from me!” Fang yelled as Indigo was getting closer with every step as she spoke “You’re acting like it's some foreign object! It's just a used tampon, see there's one under you foot right now.” indigo said smugly making Fang looked down under his foot and begin to scream “HOLY SWEET MOTHER OF FUCK!” Fang screeched as he ran across the highway and fell. “Oh my god, you ARE afraid of them! Why are guys so weirded out by stuff like this?” Indigo said laughing as Fang popped back up and spoke “It’s just not that….. When Junebug was going through that stuff….. She used to… snap a lot and made me hide from her.” Fang said defensively towards Indigo as he was looking for something. “You know, it's not easy for us either, we have to deal with constant mood swings, cramps, bleeding out “you know whats”, plus everything else we deal with, the last thing you should have done was hide from her.” Indigo said calmly and matter of factly as Fang then spoke again “It’s not that, she tended to be….. Extremely violent when she was going through it every month…… it was either fight my girlfriend or run for the hills, and you can already tell I would run for the hills I could never hit a woman.” Fang said as he was looking for something in the area. “Chocolate.” Indigo said as she picked up some more trash.

        Fang looked over at her as he asked “Why chocolate?” Fang asked Indigo as she spoke again “Chocolate contains things that help us during that time, or so i’ve been told, she my say she doesn’t want it and that’ll make her fat, but just leave it in a place where she can get it and leave, like a pet with food.” Indigo said as she spotted more tampons “Ok seriously what is with all these damn tampons!? Who just is driving by and reaches in and takes it out while they’re driving?!” Indigo said disgusted. Fang just shook his head but also asked Indigo “Do you like chocolate?” Fang asked Indigo as she looked at him and spoke “why do ask that?” Indigo said stopping as Fang just spoke “I was just asking, you know making conversation.” Fang said to Indigo as he was picking up the small amount of garbage that was their on that side of the highway. “Oh, uh yeah I guess, I mean i'm not huge on it, but you know who is?” Indigo asked as Fang shook his head and asked as he was almost done with that side of the highway as she spoke “This girl at crystal prep, Midnight Sky, you might know her. She’s like a damn pocket elf from wizards of waverly place.” Indigo said laughing a bit as Fang chuckled and said “Crazy, but as well I love that show, did not know you watched it.” Fang said as he spotted what he was looking for and stabbed it with the stick and kept it hidden close by for when he walks back to the other side of the highway as Indigo spoke “Yeah, well I saw a few episodes here and there, then I started crystal prep and the whole training thing with Cinch took over and now I don’t really have time for tv anymore.” Indigo said with a hint of anger in her voice as Fang noticed this and asked “Indigo, how bad is it over at that school?” Fang asked Indigo as she was surprised by his question “Well...it's...I mean….it sucks, it really does. I get being prepared and wanting to win, but Cinch takes everything out of hand and it's no longer a school it's like a boot camp with classes.” Indigo said stabbing a can with notable verosity.

        Fang saw this and stabbed the item again and began to walk over to the other side of the highway as Indigo noticed this but soon went back to collecting trash as Fang spoke “I hear you Indigo, some school are like that.” Fang said with a kind tone in his voice as Indigo slightly nodded as Fang spoke again “As well, I got something to show you.” Fang said with a slight smirk. Indigo turned and began to speak “What is-UGH!” She said jumping back at the sight. Fang had at the end of his stick was a pair of torn up plaid boxer shorts, Fang then spoke “What's the matter Indigo? You saw mine, what is the difference?” Fang asked teasingly at Indigo. “Yeah but yours didn’t have brown stains in the back and white ones in the front.” Indigo said pointing at the underwear with her own stick as Fang tried to bring them closer to Indigo “What, it just normal boxers see?” Fang said holding them closer to her as she used her stick to keep it on the ground “Fang if you come any closer, i’ll take this stick and shove up your ass!” Indigo said holding up her stick as treble and vinyl started making their way down the road. “Hey flames! Look it's Fang and indigo!” Vinyl said as she pulled over. The pair got out as treble spoke “Hey Fang! How's it going?” Treble asked “It's fan-fucking-tastic, I'm surrounded by gum drops and ice cream!” Fang said sarcastically as treble then spoke again “Oh boy! Can I join you?” Treble said oblivious to the sarcasm “I am surrounded by idiots…” Fang said as stabbed some trash. “I thought you were surrounded by gum drops and ice cream?” Treble asked confused. Fang then screamed “AHHH THAT'S IT'S EVERYONE DIES!” he said and stabbed everything in sight as Indigo smacked him upside the head and told him to calm down as she then turns to Treble and spoke “H-Hi Treble, how are…. You doing today?” Indigo asked Treble as he spoke back to her “Doing very good so far, it's a beautiful day outside and having a great drive. How about you?” Treble asked Indigo as she was starting to blush a bit and spoke “I-Im fine, been better….. Um what are you doing?” Indigo asked Treble as he thought for a minute and spoke “Well having a drive, Mise just cleaned up the kitchen from Vinyl`s baking lesson.” Treble said as Vinyl spoke “I said I was sorry, and helped him clean.” Vinyl said defensively.

        Making the group chuckle a bit as Treble spoke again “But as well Mise took Octy out on a date and the two of us, we got bored and tried see if we can make plants grow with our music and giant speakers….. Did not end well.” Treble said as he chuckled a bit as Indigo spoke “Should've had my friend Lemon zest help you with that one…. Anything is better than hanging out with this nerd.” Indigo said as she pointed at Fang who was still picking garbage up but gave the three a glare and flipped the three off, then got back to work as Treble spoke “Yeah, he can be like that at times, but he is a good guy you know?” Treble asked Indigo as she nodded a bit and spoke “Yeah, I guess but it doesn't matter he is a nerd and that is all he is.” Indigo declared as Treble spoke “So, uh, I guess we’ll be going i’ll see you around.” Treble said as turned away  but not before indigo stopped him “H-Hey T-Treble, um c-can I talk to to you for a second, alone....” Indigo asked blushing slightly as treble nodded and vinyl took her leave and went to the car. “So what did you want to talk about?” Treble asked as indigo spoke “Well I was wondering, um….. If we could uh….. Go see a movie or something?” Indigo asked Treble as he was trying to process this as he spoke “Sure, me and Ice could join you it would be fun.” Treble said as Indigo shook her head “N-No I mean…. Like a….. Date….” Indigo said to Treble with a massive blush on her face with high hopes as Treble understood and spoke “Yeah, about that, you see the thing is, i’m already dating vinyl. But we can still be friends, right?” Treble said trying not to let her down to hard as she nods a bit and walks backwards a little bit and began to watch the three as she then suddenly turns around and runs towards the woods without them noticing as Fang then spoke “Well I hope you had fun talking to my friends Indigo….. Indigo?” Fang asked and turned to see that she was gone and turned to Treble and Vinyl as he asked “Have you guys seen Indigo?” Fang asked the two as Vinyl shrugged but Treble spoke “Well I was talking to her and then she just disappeared.” Treble said as Fang began to wonder what happened as he asked “What were you two talking about?” Fang asked Treble as he then spoke “Well were just chewing the fat, and then she asked to talk to me alone, she asked me out, I told her I was dating Vinyl and the rest is history.” Treble said as Fang now began to understand and said “I will see you two later…. I got to go find her.” Fang said to the two and began to walk towards the woods as Treble spoke “You like Indigo, don’t you Fang...?” Treble asked with smug grin.

        Fang responded by flipping Treble and said “I don’t even know dude….. Its mixed feeling you know?” Fang said to Treble as he nodded and spoke “I do, now get her before the wolves do, it’s going to start to get dark in a few hours.” Treble said as he got in the car and drove off as Fang nodded and ran into the woods looking for Indigo.

Meanwhile With Indigo…..

        Indigo was running across the woods as she had tears in her eyes as she was speaking to herself “How could I be so stupid! Of course he’d be dating someone else, and vinyl of all people!” Indigo said as she ran and tripped over a root and fell down, she tried to get back up but found she had hurt her ankle. As she cried a bit more as she felt like an opportunity for love had been blown right out of the sky, soon enough rustling began to be heard close by as a pack of five wolves began to emerge from the bushes that surrounded her and began to slowly inch towards her as they began to growl a low growl like a territorial thing as Indigo began to reach for a stick to try and keep them at bay “Stay back...i’m warning you….I got a stick!” Indigo said waving the stick madly until she heard a voice “HEY! LEAVE INDIGO ALONE!” The voice rang as Indigo looked up to see Fang on a small ridge above her as he jumped down from it and landed in front of Indigo and spoke “Firestar, Leafpool, Hollyleaf, Bluestar, Ravenpaw. Enough, you are scaring her!” Fang yelled as the wolves stopped as Fang glared at the five and spoke “Cinderheart, come on out.” Fang spoke as the bushes in front of the two began to rustle as a large wolf walked out and towards Fang as she soon stopped right in front of him as he smiled a bit and petted her head as he spoke “It’s good to see you again girl, gotten a lot stronger since I last saw you.” Fang said as Indigo stared at this and soon spoke “uh…..what just happened…?” Indigo said shocked as Fang looked back and spoke “Oh right, never told you this….. This nerd has a bunch of wolves as friends….. Go on laugh it up.” Fang said as he petted Bluestar. “Why would I laugh at something so awesome?” Indigo asked smugly as Fang shook his head “Well I did not do this over night….. *sigh* I never had many friends growing up, and I used to camp here all the time with my family and as well, I used to have like three to five dogs that I need to take care of so I know a few things to keep them calm and docile at times.” Fang said as Leafpool began to walk closer to Indigo and began to sniff her as Indigo was trying not to freak out as she then shut her eyes until…. Leafpool licked her face a bit and she started to laugh “Hahaha, ok ok, I believe you, now let's get going...AH!” Indigo said as she hurt her ankle trying to get up.

        Fang quickly ran to her side and spoke “Indigo! Indigo are you alright?” Fang asked her as she shook her head a bit “No, I...I think I twisted my ankle, oh man Cinch is flip when she finds out. This is bad, this is so so so bad!” Indigo said freaking out as Fang tried to reassure her “Don’t worry, I will get you fixed up in no time as well Cinch…. She can go fuck herself. she does not control your life.” Fang said as he helped Indigo up off the ground “Yeah, but if she finds out about this, she’ll blame it on me trying to ask out Treble, and she’ll take that as a reason to ban relationships again, and then she’ll kick me off all my teams!” Indigo said still freaking out as Fang then silenced her “INDIGO ENOUGH!” Fang shouted at Indigo as he then calmed down a bit and spoke “You need to stop freaking out so much, if she asks I will say it was my fault alright?” Fang said to Indigo as she nodded a bit as he helped her towards his car. “You would do that for me?” Indigo asked as she put her arm around Fang for stability as Fang then spoke “Yeah I would, even though you joke with me a lot, you’re my friend and I always help my friends.” Fang said to Indigo as the two made it towards his car as he opened the door for her and helped her into the seat. “Even after everything i’ve said and done to you? You still consider me a friend?” Indigo asked confused by this revelation as Fang got in the driver's seat he spoke “Of course, even though everything you said was hurtful at times and did hurt me in different forms, i’m used to it all so no harm done to me.” Fang said as he started the car ‘huh, maybe isn’t as bad as I thought….but he’s still a nerd.’ Indigo thought with a small smile.

Time Skip: About An Hour Later…..

        Soon enough Fang drove into his parking space of his apartment complex and got to the other side of the car and opened the car door for Indigo and helped her out of the car and towards the lobby of the building. Fang opened the door to the building's lobby as he spotted the manager and spoke “Hey Mrs. Doodle, how you doing this evening?” Fang said to the manager as she spoke “I'm doing fine Tiberious, who is this lovely lady?” Mrs. Doodle asked as Fang spoke “She is my friend, her name is Indigo she got hurt and I am bringing her to my apartment to fix her up.” Fang said said as he helped her to the elevator waiting for it to come down, as it then opened and the two walked in as Fang pressed a button. Soon enough Fang and Indigo were now on the fourth floor as the doors opened to let the two walk out of the elevator and towards Fang`s apartment as they saw the lights flicker a bit and soon shut off for a few seconds Indigo looked towards Fang as she then began to freak out for all she could see was a pair of soul piercing crimson eyes and a wide grin with a single metallic canine as the lights soon turned on again as Indigo fell backwards as Fang still had his cheeky grin and asked “So you like my trick?” Fang asked as he snickered a bit as Indigo punched him in the stomach and spoke “Yeah, real funny, you dropped me, now let's get to your place. You're lucky I hurt my foot or else i’d kick you where the don’t shine.” Indigo said as she tried to prop herself up with the wall as Fang nodded and wrapped his arm around her as she wrapped her right arm around his neck to keep supported as she asked “What's going on with the lights?” Indigo asked looking at the ceiling as Fang just chuckled a bit and spoke “That is just my neighbor he loves doing that to screw with people as the two looked down the hall as Fang spoke “Nospheratu....” Fang said with a slight grin as he just smiled and went back into his apartment. Fang chuckled a bit and helped Indigo towards his apartment as he dug his keys out of his right pocket and unlocked the door and opened it helping Indigo inside the home.

        Indigo looked around his apartment a bit as she was walking in with him and saw that, it was completely clean, had a few posters on the wall of different animes like gurren lagann, black lagoon and a few others Indigo did not recognize and looked over towards a bookshelf that had a few pictures on it above a full bookshelf of books somewhere manga while others were novels and chapter books as Fang then helped her on to the couch next to an armchair as Fang asked “Comfy?” Fang asked Indigo as she nodded a bit and spoke “Yeah, also nice place you got here, it's like ‘Nerdvana’.” Indigo said as Fang chuckled a bit and spoke “Well thank you, also nice band reference by the way, did not know you listened to Nirvana.” Fang said as Indigo nodded “Yeah, I love their music, too bad they can’t produce anymore music since Kurt passed.” Indigo said solemnly. Fang nodded in agreement as he spoke “Yeah, sometimes I think that the music industry went to hell after that happened, but sometimes you find some good bands to listen to.” Fang said with a bit of a smile as he sat down next to her in the arm chair “Yeah, just recently I started to get into Slipknot. I mean it's still growing on me,but they are pretty good.” Indigo said as Fang nodded in agreement and spoke “Yeah, they have some great songs that I like listening to like vermillion, sometimes it's hard to choose between part 1. And part 2. You know?” Fang asked but as well added something as well “Hey you want to hear something crazy?” 

Fang asked Indigo as she nodded when Fang then spoke “You know the lead singer right? Well he used to babysit me when I was younger before joining the band.” Fang said to Indigo as she was speechless as she then spoke “that is SO AWESOME! So you mean to tell me that you knew the lead singer, before here was the lead singer!?” Indigo asked as Fang nodded and spoke “My brother and him go way back since they are close to the same age, but anyway yeah he used to babysit me and still keeps in contact when he can.” Fang said as he got up to get something as he spoke “Make yourself at home Indigo, you can leave your shoes next to the couch, be right back.” Fang said as he walked into the bathroom as Indigo`s phone begins to go off as she then answers it “Hello?” Indigo asked as on the other end was Mise “Where the hell are you two? I leave for a few hours and you disappear? What the hell?” Mise said angrily as Indigo spoke again “Were fine, though I got injured somewhat badly…. Anyway where at Fang`s home and he is patching me up while we rest up.” Indigo said as Fang came back with a first aid kit when Mise spoke again “Oh for-ok you know what, just put him on the phone after he’s done bandaging you up.” Mise said as he pulled out small notepad with a list of stuff on it as Indigo nodded and said “Alright, he is almost done right now he is examining my ankle and is putting bandages on right now.” Indigo said as Fang was almost done as he got up for a second and walked towards the kitchen and grabbed a bag of ice and placed it on her wound “There you go Indigo, this should help with the swelling as well who you talking to?” Fang asked as Indigo then spoke “Thanks Fang, as well its Mise he wants to talk to you.” Indigo said as she handed him the phone.

        “Hello?” Fang asked as Mise spoke “Hey Fang, Indigo told me she got injured? What happened?” Mise asked as Fang walked towards the balcony as he first said “If you want Indigo, you can turn on the tv if you want.” Fang said as he walked out on the balcony and spoke “Alright, well for one thing she had a crush on Treble.” Fang said as Mise was surprised and spoke “You’re kidding, right?” Mise asked as Fang spoke “Not kidding man, it was crazy anyway she then tried to ask him out but he kindly responded with he was already dating Vinyl and she nodded but I knew she was heartbroken man and she left without any of knowing and she fell and got injured but as well….” Fang said as he looked to see Indigo watching tv on his flat screen and turned back and spoke “She was crying man, i’m not kidding when I say she was that heartbroken, it was…..” Fang said as he was trying to find the right words as Mise spoke “Heartbreaking? I know how that can be, someone being as tough as nails being reduced to tears, it's never easy to see, or experience as the person crying. Now What kind injury was it? She said it was bad.” Mise said as Fang then spoke “It’s not that bad man, just a twisted ankle but she was freaking out man. She was worried Cinch would take her off the teams and I calmly replied that Cinch can go fuck herself and let me take the blame.” Fang replied to Mise as he was surprised “Wow, that’s really big of you. My question is, how would you prove it was your fault? Also, i’m on my way over, there's something I want to try out.” Mise said as Fang nodded and said “Alright whatever floats your boat or tank or whatever, as well for the Cinch problem I will deal with I will tell her that I accidentally tripped her or something I don’t know but no one tries to hurt my friends and gets away with it.” Fang declared “That’s good to hear man, and as far as what I want to try out, I recently came across some old recipes my grandmother owned, they should ease up her muscles, reduce the swelling, and get her back on her feet by morning.” Mise said as flipped through the notepad as Fang nodded and spoke “Alright, that should help out alot, also tell no one about her crying man she would kill me if she did.” Fang said to Mise “Mhmm, anyway I wouldn’t think of it man.” Mise said as he hung up leaving Fang on the porch with his thoughts.

        Soon enough Fang went back inside seeing that Indigo was watching the walking dead on netflix as he spoke “Well Mise is on his way over here to help with your recovery.” Fang said to Indigo who nodded and spoke “well that’s good, did he say how he was going to help? because I really want to get back to walking” Indigo asked as Fang shrugged his shoulders and spoke “I guess it's a form of tea or something, he said he found an old recipe his grandmother owned so I guess it makes sense, anyway it's suppose to help relax your muscles and help you heal and be able to walk in the morning.” Fang said to Indigo as she nodded and let out a sigh “I hope so, because if I walk into school tomorrow on crutches i’m screwed.” Indigo said as she sank into the arm chair as Fang patted her shoulder and spoke “You’re going to be fine, and if she needs someone to blame…. Then direct it at me, I can handle it, it is not your fault alright?” Fang asked as Indigo nodded a bit as Fang got back up and spoke “I’m going to start making dinner, what would you like?” Fang asked Indigo as she thought for a minute and then spoke “Uh, how bout pasta with breadsticks?” Indigo asked smirking as Fang spoke “Let me guess no garlic oil?” Fang asked Indigo as he had a bit of a smirk as well as the two began to laugh as Fang spoke again “So you still want pasta?” Fang asked Indigo “Of course!” Indigo said as Fang nodded and spoke “Do not worry human, for I the great Papyrus shall make it for you!” Fang said as he was chuckling a bit and walked into the kitchen as he gathered the ingredients to make the sauce and left the water to boil. Indigo began to smell the sauce being made as she spoke “Did you make you’re own sauce? It smell delicious.” Indigo said smelling the air as Fang spoke “Mhmm, learned it from my mom….. Wish the noodles were homemade as well but don't have the ingredients to make them, it sucks but still I learned some of this from my mom.” Fang said as he put the bread in the oven and stird the noodles and sauce a bit more as he added a pinch of basil. 

Soon enough their was a knock at the door as Fang said “I wonder who that could be?” Fang said as he walked over to the door and opened it to find Mise behind it “Hey Mise, come on in.” Fang said as he let Mise in as he spoke “Thanks Fang, I just had to fly over to Egypt real quick to pick up some Egyptian Calendula, you'd be surprised how fast a jet can go when you put it on full speed, I already had tumeric and honey. Now where is our patient?” Mise asked as Fang pointed to Indigo in the arm chair as Mise nodded and walked over to her and spoke “hey Indigo, sorry I took so long, I was over in Cairo, Egypt picking up some herbs, now let's see how bad that ankle is.” Mise said as Indigo raised her left leg as Mise began to examine it a bit as he spoke “Uh huh, well thanks to this rare herb I picked up in, at a very reasonable price, I may add, we’ll have you back to normal by sunrise. You’d be surprised how much injuries can be sustained working in the peat bogs, good thing my grandma loved egypt so much, I would have never found it with her notes.” Mise said as he went to the kitchen as Fang followed him as well to continue making diner as Fang spoke “Do you want to stay for dinner man?” Fang asked Mise as he then spoke “hmmm, uh sure what the hell, why not. I already took octy out and i’m famished from having to fly to cairo, so yeah i’ll stay.” Mise said as he pulled out a dandelion looking flower and a yellow looking ginger root, and ground them up and put them in the pot of boiling water as Fang then cleared his throat and spoke “Human, you must sit with the other human while I the great Papyrus make dinner, Nye hehehe….. Pfft hahahaha…. I’m sorry I had to.” Fang said apologizing as Mise and Indigo chuckled a bit as Mise walked out of the kitchen and sat on the couch while Indigo was still in the arm chair as Mise asked “So, uh how you feeling?” Mise asked as he watched TV as Indigo spoke “Somewhat fine, my ankle still hurts a bit but…. That nerd can be helpful at times.” Indigo said as she continued to watch TV with Mise as Fang was setting the table in the living room as Indigo asked “Is dinner almost ready?” Indigo asked as Fang shook his head and spoke “Not for another ten minutes.” Fang said and with that he walked back into the kitchen leaving the two again, when Mise asked Indigo a question “So, I heard about what happened with Treble, how you holding up?” Mise asked ‘Man, how many women have I put this through….’ Mise thought in the back of his mind as Indigo spoke “Pfft, like I would need that dubstep loving idiot, at least he seems happy.” Indigo said as she scoffed at the question a bit as Mise asked “Mhmm, you know I can tell you are still hurting, maybe not a lot but you are.” Mise said as he looked at his watch.

Indigo scoffed at this and spoke “Who cares, not like I could find anyone that I would like and as well it is his loss.” Indigo said to Mise as she crossed her arms “If you truly didn’t care you would have just said something as simple as ‘i’ve moved on’ but you whole tangent one liners say otherwise.” Mise said knowingly as Indigo spoke again “Whatever, if I was not hurt and you were not helping me, I would have kicked your ass and possibly the nerds ass just for the hell of it.” Indigo scoffed at Mise who just nodded before speaking “Be that as it may, you’d have to get to the back of the line, there's a whole bunch of girls that want a piece of that action on me. I wasn’t always as loyal as I am now. If you’ll excuse me I have to go strain the tea.” Mise said getting up and walking to the kitchen to find Fang straining the pasta as he spoke “Hey Mise, what were you two talking about out there?” Fang asked Mise as he walked over to the tea he was brewing as he spoke “She claims that she’s moved on from Treble, but i'm not buyin it. Keep an eye on her, you just might be what she needs…” Mise said wisely as Fang thought about it for a minute but soon got back to what he was doing and spoke “Maybe man….. Just maybe…..” Fang said as he put the pasta into a bowl and brought it to the table and went to get the sauce and bread sticks. Soon enough the three were having a home cooked meal as Mise spoke “Tiberious, what did you put in this sauce? Red wine and olive oil?” Mise asked he took a bite of pasta as Fang nodded and said “Yeah….. Sorry about that I kind of….. Borrowed one of your bottles of wine from Octavia…..” Fang said with a bit of fear in his voice as he sank deeper into his seat. “Keep it, it's your’s. Anyone that can incorporate it like that deserves to keep it.” Mise said taking a sip of wine. Fang let out a sigh of relief and got back to eating as Indigo asked “Fang where did you learn to cook like this?” Indigo asked as she took a bite from a breadstick as Fang stopped for a minute before speaking “I….. I learned it from my mom…… she may have been a nurse but….. She always loved to cook….. She always said it was her passion but her mother never saw it…… uh anyway hope you guys like it.” Fang said as he slowly ate his food. The two saw this but continued to eat until they cleaned Fang out of the pasta and breadsticks as Mise soon got up and said “I’ll take care of the dishes, you help indigo to bed, it's late, you can just drive her tomorrow anyway.” Mise said as Fang nodded and helped Indigo to bed as he gave her a pair of his pajamas and said “Y-You can change in my room….. I will do your laundry…..” Fang said nervously as he left her in his room to get changed.

Fang was leaning against one of the walls in his home as Indigo called him and said “I'm done, you can come in now!” Indigo called as Fang slowly walked towards his room to see Indigo in the pajamas as Fang spoke “O-Okay….. I'm going to do your….. Laundry, you get some sleep.” Fang said as he helped Indigo into bed as he covered her with the sheets as Fang grabbed a pair of pajamas and Indigo`s cloths so he could wash them as he closed the door and let out a sigh as Mise spoke “You like her. don’t you?” Mise asked calmly as Fang almost collapsed as when Mise said it as Fang spoke “I…… I think so man……” Fang said as he got up and brought her cloths to his washing machine and began the wash as he turned to Mise who was sitting down as he spoke “Now, I don’t know how your mind works, but I can tell part of you really wants her. And believe me, she’s going to start to get a bit more ‘crazy’ now that Treble denied her but you can’t let it get you down.” Mise said as Fang half understood him trying to keep his mind focused as Fang turned around and spoke “Hey….. thanks for helping me today man, your a real lifesaver.” Fang said as he held his fist out as Mise smiled a bit and tapped his fist with his and said “No problem, it's what friends do, now I better get going before Octy gets mad at me for being late home. I’ll see you tomorrow.” Mise said as he got up and left. Fang nodded and locked the door after Mise left as he went to go take a shower as he said in his head ‘I guess I do really like Indigo, as well I feel sorry for her but….. I hope she will be okay.’ Fang said in his head as he entered the bathroom. In Fang`s room Indigo was still a bit awake as she was thinking as she then said in her head ‘What did mise mean by all that crap about me not moving on, of course i’ve moved on…..at least I think I have….’ Indigo said in her head as sleep overcame her.
