"and what will that be Lucille?"

"we will find out when we get in." both Lucille and Francoeur walked through the open double doors to complete silence.

"is it suppose to be quiet in here Lucille?"

"no! Emile! help!" they looked at each other just as Maud came barreling in at them. "Emile is hurt and fighting Chaos!"

"what? why? how?" Lucille asked her.

"i-i dont know! he just told me to run and grabbed something from his coat! i didn't see it!" Maud said panicky. then they heard Emile cry out and then silence... just silence... they all ran into the room Maud just ran out of. they saw Emile sprawled out on the ground, unconscious, but no one else. the two women went to Emile as francoeur searched the place. he looked at the darkest corner last, only because it scared him, but only looked there because he saw the silhouette of a familiar friend.

"Raoul?" he said quietly as the silhouette stepped forward to show Raoul's face, scowling at him. Raoul raised his gun at francoeur, but then disappeared just as francoeur flinched.

"Francoeur? are you OK?" Lucille touched francoeur's shoulder and he jumped.

"y-yeah... i will be..." he turned and looked at her and gave her a small, unsure smile. she gave him a smile back and gave him a kiss on his cheek. he blushed as she walked back to Maud and helped Emile to stand. Francoeur walked over and  they all left for home.

...

"you were right... she loves him..." Raoul sat against the wall and dropped his gun as he watched her kiss francoeur on his cheek, not like she did during the song, like she did with him while they were dating.

"i told you, Raoul. i did try to warn you." chaos put his hand on his shoulder. they looked at each other and Raoul sighed.

"ok, ill help you... but only if Lucille stays safe." Chaos nodded.

"of course."
