Flik's Great Adventure

Chapter 9

Jowy looked at Pilika, who was still lying by him, he hugged her.

"Jowy, I'm back..." Jillia said, walking in with a cyan blanket, that looked like it was crocheted.

Jowy smiled at her, and she covered him up.

"Sorry it took so long...I was washing it..."

Jowy looked at her. "Hey, you washed it for me..."

Jillia giggled a bit, and jumped next to him.

"I'm so glad that I chose to stay with you."

Jillia wrapped her arm around Jowy, and he rolled over.

Flik was walking around the rusty castle, and he saw Hix and Tengaar, arguing about Hix becoming a true warrior, then he saw Gremio, cooking up some stew, then he saw Riou, running with some string, then he saw Tir, walking around followed by Lily, while Nina was watching Tir and Lily behind the door.

"Flik! You're mobile!" Riou yelled, and put the string in his pocket.

Flik nodded, but laughed slightly.

"Are you okay? HUH?" Tir yelled, running toward him, followed by Lily.

Flik nodded. "Apparently..."

Nina followed Tir, and looked at Flik. "Th-thank goodness..."

Flik looked around, then looked down. "J-Jowy...He hadn't returned?"

Tir shook his head. "No..."

Flik sighed, and held back his tears.

"But, he's okay...Tir said so!" Nina said, cheering him up.

"Yeah Tir said so-HEY! That's me!" Tir said.

Nina smiled at him, and he smiled back.

Flik looked at the ground, hoping Jowy would return soon, so he could see his face again.

"I think...I think I've made up my mind..."

"Huh?" Tir said.

"About the leadership..."

"Really?"

"I think I'm gonna accept the opportunity..."

Nina hugged him. "Yay! But, are you sure?"

Flik nodded.

"It's so sudden, Flik..." Gremio said, looking at Flik, who shrugged.

"Maybe there's a reason I'm here...Maybe the destiny thing that woman was talking about was that I'm needed here..."

"He has a point..." Tir said, looking at Gremio

Flik looked around, and smiled.

"You're needed for us, Flik." Nina said.

Jowy blinked, he wished that he could find the others, or that they could find him. He was happy with Jillia, but he just felt lonely without the other by his side all of the time.

Jillia smiled, and looked at Jowy again.

"Jowy, maybe you should try to get some rest." She said, noticing he wasn't sleeping.

"I'm not tired, Jillia..."

"Jowy, honey..."

"I said I'm not tired."

Jillia was about to kiss Jowy, until Pilika snuck her way in between them.

Jowy laughed, and grabbed Pilika. "She's just a troublemaker! Aren't you, Pilika?"
