(In case anyone cared, the picture represents the second half of the chapter. Apparently people like mushy quotes in shipfics.)

Jack and Mark walked out of the building to tell their friends about the adventure.
"The dragons have been slain!" Mark exclaimed, pointing a finger to the sky in triumph. Everyone clapped.
"So, how did it go?" Pewds asked. "Was it awkward?"
"Well... I wouldn't say awkward ..." Jack said quietly.
"But strange. Very strange," Mark said. "Let's just say that you don't get to experience catching a full grown man in a net too often."
"How did you manage to separate them?" Barry asked.
"We ended up each taking care of one of them," Mark explained. "Jack handled Danny, while I watched Arin. That was a pain. I mean, Jesus Christ, and I thought that you were loud!" He nudged Jack in the shoulder. He laughed. It was true, Jack was loud, but you couldn't hear him through sound proof walls.

"I kind of felt bad for Danny, though. He seemed awfully upset," Jack sighed.
"Maybe Jack is the one with Shipman's Down," Ross chuckled. Jack rolled his eyes.
"Besides, you did the right thing." Barry had come up to Jack and Mark. "If you had been a pushover, we'd have to repeat this whole cycle again. Oh, and that reminds me! I need everyone to stay here for two extra days in case someone bad happens. The grump space is free to use if you guys need to record episodes."
"...Thanks for letting us use your stuff..." Cry said in almost a whisper.

"But... what about Game Grumps? If Dan and Arin are Batshit insane for each other, how are they supposed to record?" Pewds asked.
"We'll put out a video saying that they're sick or something," Ross explained. Everyone went back into the building.

Ch 5; Pt 2

It was almost midnight. Arin had awoken in the middle of the night, and had an idea. He absolutely MUST get back to Daniel-senpai-chan. He unlocked his door, and looked for his keys. Finding them, he unlocked the room where Dan was sleeping. He was curled up in his bed, the lovely Jew curls tangled around his fingers. He was sleeping underneath a fuzzy brown blanket. Arin walked over quietly and stroked his head before carrying him bridal style. He carried him out of the building, and walked him down the street. Suddenly, Danny's eyes softly fluttered open.
"A-Arin? Is that really you?" He whispered.

"Yeah, Danny. I'm here," Arin whispered back, his voice softly caressing Dan's ears.
"Why are you carrying me down the street?" Dan asked.
"Because. We're running away."

"Wait, what? Why?"

"If those dipshits won't let me have you, then they don't deserve us."

"But... what about Game Grumps?"

"Grumps can wait, darling."
They had finally come to an empty hill, because those are so abundant in L.A.. They lied down on the hill together.
"Arin?" Dan called. He turned his head.
"Yeah?" Arin said.
"... Jack told me that after 46 hours, we wouldn't love each other anymore. Do you think that's true?" Tears welled up in Dan's eyes. Arin closed his eyes and thought carefully. He looked in his wallet and pulled out a fake pansy that a fan had given to him as a joke. Arin looked around, and picked 9 real pansies. He put them into a nice bouquet, and handed them to Dan.

"See those flowers?" Arin asked. Dan looked at them curiously. He nodded.
"I will love you until the last flower wilts," He said. Dan wrapped his arms around Arin.
"Thank you," He whispered. Then, Arin placed a light kiss on Danny's cheek.

"Good night."

(Sorry, that one was a bit too real, but HOLY SHIT HOW CUTE IS THAT RIGHT?!? Also, it's getting so late that I can't focus on what I'm typing. Yeeeeah...)
