"If I could stand up, I would show you some good stand up comedy." I said, with a silly grin as Shadow waltzed over to my bed.

She stopped for a moment in confusion. "What?" She said, with a really confused look.

I laugh nervously, then said, "Are you made of Copper and Tellurium? Because you are Cu Te."

Immediately after I said the joke, she was standing there with a complete and utter look of confusion.

'Dumb jokes without exp-duh. Thinking it means she will know beforehand.' I quickly thought then tuned my mind to lists of Fire Emblem characters.

She squinted her eyes, and quickly walked over to the bed.

With a straight face, she said, "I want to get illumi-naughty with you."

I realize, I have been beaten at my own game. My bad jokes, rendered useless. I die a little on the inside. I begin to self loath myself in a fetal position on the bed.

Suddenly I felt something hovering above me. I look over and see Shadow with a smile of lust. I roll off the bed, and regret my decision. I groan out of the pain, and quickly go to reach the door. I manage to open the door slightly before it shuts violently.

"You know what I said, now get over here and cuddle me" I heard in my head. I shudder and walk over to the bed. I sit down, slightly terrified of the phantasm.

Suddenly, Golden appeared beside the bed. "Looks like we are playing for keeps then, aren't we, Sister?" She said, pushing herself onto me, pinning me to the bed, stuffing my head between her breasts.

'This isn't a good time for you to materialize, but no matter.' I thought, conserving my breath, and preventing my mouth to open and close on...a sensitive part of hers. I rolled my eyes to the top of my head and started watching.

"Hey! Get off of him! He is mine! I claimed him with my hands, and I plan on claiming him with everything else!" Shadow screeched, going to pry Goldy off of me, then Ridge appeared and clothesline'd her, causing her to produce choking sounds.

'Throat punches are still effective on half specters, nice to know.' I murmured, nodding my head. I realize my mistake.

"Mmm♥~" I heard Goldy say, shifting and giggling a bit. "Please don't do that, not the time for me to be into this, but definitely the place ♥."

I grimace. Being stuck between two beings that can easily rip you apart inside out...too bad the adrenaline is addicting. I sigh, and rub my eyes in frustration.

"Goldy! Ridge! Shadow! STOP!" I shout at the top of my lungs.

They all stop, Goldy in the middle of getting up, Ridge ready to mess some humanoid-ghost bears, and Shadow... I can't exactly see her at this moment. I am sure the scuffle would have been reported and at least the neighbors are weirded out. Hopefully, walls and the floor drowned some of the noise out.

"Since this will only turn awful if you three continue, and with me in the midst, the only human, you all run the risk of hurting me. And yourselves, but mostly me because of flesh and blood and all that fancy stuff." I open the door.

"Goldy, Ridge, if you don't mind..?"

The two look at me, look at each other, and huff in annoyance as they float out of the room. I gently close the door and spin around to face the rest of my room and sigh a hopeful breath of relief.

"So now you're on my side hmmm~?"

Shadow floated down in front of me, with a smug look.

"No, but fighting is bad for my health and financial welfare. Wish you all could consider the same." I say tiredly, walking back over to the bed, and sitting on it. "I am exhausted. What you want is something I don't have right now. So... lay down." I point to the other side of the bed as I unbutton my shirt, and laid down on the bed. "You'll probably be joining me in my sleep, so join me in my dream and relax. I am not going anywhere soon." I yawn. I close my eyes, not particularly caring currently on whether or not I have very angry beings and phantasms in my apartment.

I guess its another thing I have to fix in the evening.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Right. It's been a long time. This chapter originally was meant to go out about...2 years today (and about 1/2 a chapter longer). I apologize for the inconvenience, especially since the laptop I used to update with was a 2001 Toshiba that I got for free from a friend. It went kaput in midst of me taking finals, and me being the forgetful author I am, I forgot to update. Painful two years.
But in the meantime, in two years this went from like 5 readers to the top 5 in #fnia. If I simply ignore a majority of stories disappeared. Anyway. Good evening. Maybe I will see y'all in a week? And this on Fanfiction, god it's been a while. This afterword will disappear soon, along with the rest (1-27) in August. Happy readings. Stay healthy.
