"Nerrrrr! Who are YOU?!" Francis asked.

"H-Hey! What are you doing sneaking into my room, huh? Ever heard of p-privacy?"

Zephyr walks up to him.

"Oh, there you are, Francis! I've been looking ALL OVER for you!"

"For...ME?"

"O-o-Oh...o-Oh my gosh... It's... It's a h-hot babe.."

He sweats.

"HOT BABE IN ROOM!Wha-What do I... Oh man... A REAL girl in my room! This is so hi-technicaaaal! N-Neeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrr... Must...ca-ca-calm...calm down... I'm get-get-get-get... Getting w-way too excited... Sweatles...forming... Can't talk to...girls... Must get...my...laptop...from... frannypack!"

He takes out his laptop.

"Booting up Babe.exe! Activating interface mod with real- time wooing!"

Zephyr and Francis appear to be in a video game.

"Welcome to my castle. How do you do? ...Nerrr."

"What on earth is that?! What's going on here?"

"Nerrherr... I boot this baby up whenever it's time to talk to the... heh...laaadies. Schweeeeet. Time for my program to work its magic!" (Where should I start?)

He brings up a list of some sort, and selects "Speak", then "Talk to hot babe."

"What is your name?"

"Oh, me? I... I'm Zephyr."

"Zephyr? Why, that name is just Zephy. Heh! I bet you've never heard that one! Oh...I'm just drooling at the sound of it.."

"You received a straight answer. Francis's passion leveled up!" The computer said.

"Oh, man... What do I do next?"

He selects "Look", and then "Hot babe."

"You're so cute...like a person straight out of an anime or video game! You can be feisty, but I must say it.. umm...adds to your charm."

"You want feisty? I'll show you feisty! Lay it on thick like that, and you'll get it!"

"Eep! I'm so sorry! I don't know what I was thinking! Oh... forgive me, my queen!"

"I-I'm NOT a queen!"

Meanwhile X and Neon are just watching the whole thing.

"Is he trying to seduce her?"

"Maybe, this is pretty awkward.."

(Nerr herr... She's supercute when she gets angry...)

"Francis got yelled at! Zephyrs charisma leveled up! Francis's passion leveled up!" The computer said.

(What's my next move?)

This time he selects "Inventory", "Give Item", and ""Queen" Signed Poster."

"As a token of my affection, I'd like to give you a special present."

Zephyr received the "Queen" Signed Poster.

"Oh. Umm.. Thank you, Francis! It's.. gorgeous."

"You really like it? I knew a hottie like you would pick up on how premium this poster is. I got this baby at a totally hi-technical Queen' anime event. I was going to get a CD, but I freaked when I saw this super-rare poster! The voice actor for the queen AND the director signed it, as you can see. As I'm quite sure you know, the director changed after season three, so it's rare. Plus, look here! The logo was done in extra-premium gold holographic foil! And the paper, oh man, it's UV resistant! So you never have to worry about fading. I could stick it on some backing board for you. How's that sound?"
