"Darn it!" Harith screamed as he stomped his foot.
"If you don't stop rumbling I'll see to it that an arrow will be stuck to your head." Miya said, picking up the unconscious body of the cat elf.
"Is it bad?" Fanny, the town's captain, appeared behind them. She looked around and let out a deep sigh. "I guess I'm too late." She facepalmed. Miya shook her head. "Well, then, I have a town to repair. See you." Fanny waved and shot into the air.
Harith groaned repeatedly as he stayed beside Nana. That darned Harley and his Troublemaker gang! I'll make them pay! He thought.

Rain poured down from the sky. Angela was busy healing Harley's wounds and Cyclops and Lolita were gambling. "Yeah!" Lolita yelled, pumping her fists in the air. "Hey, that's not fair!" Cyclops pointed out. "You cheated!" Lolita shrugged. "There were no rules." She smirked.
"Be quiet, you two!" Harley yelled, making the porcelain doll jump. Both Lolita and Cyclops laughed nervously.
"What will we do about the town? I mean... We can't continue our destruction with those three present." Angela said. The young mage laughed. "I've got a plan." Harley grinned. "Let's start getting rid of that annoying raccoon."

"Hey, wake up." Harith waved his hand in front of Nana's face. She blinked twice before staring at her friend's face. She struggled to sit down, but Harith stopped her. "You're still wounded."
"I'm fine, Harith. Where's Miya?"
The blue-themed kid pointed to the kitchen. "Making dinner." Nana nodded slowly. "I failed." She sighed.
"Well you did your best." Miya emerged from the kitchen, holding a warm bowl of soup. Nana sighed again, and the archer's expression turned stern. "Nana, if you're going to be all emotional about this then how will you face bigger problems?"
Nana's eyes widened. "Sorry." She said. "I'm going outside." The other two let her be, knowing she needed time alone.
The cold breeze caressed the cat elf's numb cheeks. "Hello, Nana."
Nana turned to the sound, seeing a familiar face. "Hello, Irithel." She smiled then turned her attention to the tiger. "Hello, Leo!" She patted him on the head. The tiger roared softly.
"That was some bravery you did." Irithel smiled. Nana nodded happily. "Thanks!" She smiled. Harith walked up to them. "So, uh... Miya ordered me to go to the main city. You gonna be fine? I mean, I'll be back soon." He asked, looking away to hide his face. "I'll be alright. You go ahead." Nana said. Leo growled. "Imma go, bye!" Harith hopped off. "Well he sure is cheerful." Irithel said. Leo growled again. "Ah, It looks like he's hungry. I'll see you around, Nana." Irithel walked away.
A few moments later, Harith came back. Nana was only about to go inside when she heard him call her name. "I forgot..." Harith handed her a small box and ran away. Nana raised her brow in confusion. She decided to take a look at their backyard. She sat on a picnic table and opened the box. Inside was a delicious looking chocolate cake. "Cake? Is it my birthday? No. Maybe it was just a gift." She smiled and ate it up.

"Well that was interesting."
