Talk:Zero the Liger

Talkplay: Ming X Zero
It'd be awesome to see him fight Ming! :D--Famotill 01:50, May 8, 2010 (UTC)Famotill

and to see him fight Meta-Fox (if he has good swordsamanship like status) Tails  6000  01:51, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Yeah, maybe. Too bad she's taken.--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ~ 01:57, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Meta-Fox: Come back when you are able to fight *disappears by dimensional cape*

Yep, you ARE tied up, so I can;t fight if it's easy to win.... Tails 6000  01:59, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Well it's kinda of a competition, so she is still single, just looking with potential candidates--Famotill 02:11, May 8, 2010 (UTC)Famotill

Zero: *standing in front of Ming, smiling and baring his teeth* Would I be able to join that competition?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ~ 02:13, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ming:*Blushing slightly* More the merrier, I say.

Meta-Fox: *sigh* I'm going to go now in peae thank you sword,blade, come *runs off sighing and the others follow him*

Zero: So, what are my chances?--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ~ 02:24, May 8, 2010 (UTC)

Ming:Not really sure, my feelings are kinda confused. My friend suggested going on dates with each of you, but *checks wallet as dust flies out of it* I'm broke, so....^_^'

Twister: try telling that to Meta-Fox, you see what he felt, he had a collective sigh, and went off with his 2 swordsman allies... -_-' makes me happy not to be him, dateless and single....

Zero: I could pay.

Twister: *gives zero 5 bucks* I owe you anyways, no reason, just do.....

Ming:Meta-Fox is sad? Remind me to talk to him later, okay? *To Zero* Well I don't want to be a hassle.=^_^=

Twister: sure........and besides....My girlfriend's mission ends in 2 weeks looks like I'm gonna be reunited after all ^_^

Zero: It's no problem. May be old-fashioned, but the guy's supposed to treat the girl.

Twister: so you still want the xtra 5 bucks? it's yours, I don't care, besides.......I'm sure I can give a good welcome back gift to my firlfriend when she returns.....

Ming:Yeah, my parents are very big on culture. There trying to make me meet the Chu-Nan matchmaker to get married, it's really weird.

Zero: It is?

Twister: be lucky I'm a normal mobian ^_^' but I'm still happy to not be my cousin though

Ming:Well it's not to people in Chu-Nan, maybe I'm the weird one...

Twister: no no no....I'm the weird one...and besides aren't we gonna talk to meta? I just ask as I remember you saying that....

Zero: You're talkin to a Liger here. You don't seem like the type of person I'd call "wierd"; in a bad way anyway.

Ming:Thanks, you don't seem weird to me at all.

Zero: I could say the same to you, miss.

Twister: yeah, I just met you, and you are pretty awesome zero ^_^ and by the way you can keep my 5 bucks

Ming:Yeah, tell my parents that -_-'

Zero: Want me to?

Twister: I wanted to tell you zero...that I owe you 5 bucks again -_-' no reason just want to

Ming:Figure of speech...so?

Twister: I suggest we see meta-fox.....

Zero: Seriously, you want me to?

Ming:It's alright there all about honor, and it's not that big of a deal, although I can only marry a rich Chu-Nan noble...

Zero: But you don't want to.

Twister: thats why I like being a normal mobian, not forced to marry someone I don't know...and besides, I'm gonna see if meta is alright *runs off*

Ming:No, I don't but I really don't have a choice... I can't dishonor.

Twister: *comes back* ummm anyone gonna help talk to meta or what?


 * (Ming said she would later, Twister)

Zero: Your happiness should be more important than honor.

MIng:My honor is my happiness, according to all of Chu-Nan.

Zero: What about according to you?

(The two happen to be standing over a small bridge. over a small pond. Ming throws a rock into the water letting it skip. She leans on the side of the of fencing on the bridge.)

Ming:*sigh* I don't know


 * (XD I'm getting a Mulan Reflection moment)

Zero: Well?

Ming:*changing the subject* Do you like ramen?

Zero: We aren't changing the subject Ming.

Ming:*Nervous* Who's changing anything? ^_^'

Zero: *puts his finger under her chin and makes her look him in the eyes* You are.

Ming:*blushes slightly* Okay, okay. *sighs, and goes back to leaning over the side of the fencing on the bridge, She looks at her reflection in the water. She looks up at the sky and begins talking in a genralized fashion not really towards anyone. * Look at me, I'd never pass for the perfect bride, *sighs* or a perfect daughter.

Zero: *walks up behind her and wraps his arms around her, laying his head on her shoulder* Well, of course you'd never pass for the perfect bride or daughter. No-one is or can ever be perfect. But in my opinion, you're pretty close.

Ming:I...I

Ming's Mother:*Yelling from a far distance* Ming,讓我們走it' s时间離開，您必须遇見您的媒人!!

Ming:*Facepalms* Oh no! I have to meet the matchmaker. I...I'm sorry *begins walking off sadly*

Zero: *reaches out and grabs her wrist. Looks her straight in the eyes calmly* Not until I hear what you have to say.

Ming: There's nothing anyone can do, it's not up to me, if it was then I wouldn't go through with it. I don't want this, but sometimes life isn't about what you want and don't want.

Zero: Maybe not, but it's still your life, and no-one else's. No-one can take it from you or control it for you, unless you let them. Now, tell me what you were going to say.

Ming:That, I... don't want to go through with this. I'm not really sure where my head is at, but if my parents ever found out, they'd be ashamed of me.

Zero: Would they still love you even if you didn't go through with it? Because if not, then they're lousy parents. *pulls her back close to him*

Ming:Of course they'd still love me, but I don't think I could break their hearts like that.

Zero: *puts his hand under her chin and brings her face up, so they're eye-to-eye* I think it would break their hearts even more if they put their daughter through a life of unhappiness. Now, I have a feeling that isn't all you wanted to say.

Ming:*Blushing slightly, nervous* Nope, hehe, my mother doesn't like to wait I should probably get going!

Zero: *keeps his grip firm and her gaze locked with him* Not until I hear the rest.

Ming's Mother: MING!!!!

Ming:See? I really have to get going....right now I'm only being reviewed by the Matchmaker, so it should only take a short time. Meet me here in about 30 minutes, and I'll tell you, I promise.

Zero: Since you value it so highly, promise me on your family's honor. And tell me one more thing.

MIng:On my family's honor... and what is it?

Zero: Have you had your first kiss yet?

Ming:O_O', my parents say it's a special occasion only to be shared with my husband, so no...^_^'

Zero: *kisses Ming*

Ming:O_O. *Breaks kiss after a few seconds* What was that?!

Zero: *smiles* To make sure you don't forget and have something to remember me by. After all, everyone remembers their first kiss.

Ming:*Blushing* That....that's insane!!!

Zero: Maybe it is crazy, but... *touches her nose with his* would it be cheezy if I said I was crazy for you?

Ming:*Still blushing* Hehe, yeah that would be kinda cheezy ^_^

Zero: *looking her in the eye* Would you believe me?

Ming:Crazy about plain old me, if you were me you'd see how hard that is to believe.

Zero: Would you believe me if I swore on all the honor I have?

Ming:*Smiling* I guess I'd have no choice.

Zero: Then do I have to say it?

Ming: *jokingly* Sure do! ^_^

Zero: I swear on all the honor I have, that I am crazy for you.

Ming:*Flattered* Aww, thank you *gives him a friendly kiss on the cheek* See ya later *heads off*

Zero: Thirty minutes, you promised!

Ming:*Yells back* I know!

Zero: You swore on your family's honor! I'll be right here when you get back!

Ming:*Yelling, but farther away* Alright!! Be back soon!!

Zero: You better be!! *jokingly* Or I'll come to that matchmaker and drag you back myself!!

Twister: *back very bruised and a bleeding nose* well I tried talking to meta....he used mach tornado and whirlwinded me back -_-

Twister: By the way...Zero... *gives him 20 bucks* that's for you if ya like Ming-Ming.......or at least help her feel better......sadly my cousin will never try that -_-' poor him, unable to feel liked by someone he likes....and note it is NOT Ming-Ming....

(At Ming's House)

Ming:Ni Hao, sorry I'm late, but I...

Ming's Mother:Bupbupbup, no excuses. *Rushes her inside*

(Basically, the scene plays out exactly like this except with Ming and her family, in place. Ming is dressed in a red kimono, with tan trim, and stitching up the side. She has lipstick on as well. She also has blush, a flower in her hair, blue pearls around her neck, red pumps, and unique earrings)

Matchmaker: Xiong Mao, Ming.

Ming:Present!

Matchmaker:Speaking without permission *Jots a few notes in her book*

Ming:*Facepalms* Oops.

MM:Come along

(The two go inside)

Matchmaker:*Pulls on Kimono*To skinny! Not good for bearing sons.

Ming:*The scroll,Ming used to take notes on falls out of her sleeve. She strives frantically to pick it up, and does before the Matchmaker notices.*

MM:Recite the second admonition

Ming: The sole role *looks at notes quickly though they are blurred*Of women is to starve...O_O serve... her husband.

MM:*Jots a few things down, then places a tea pot on the table, as well as a cup* Poor the tea.

Ming: *Pours the tea, but drops the small bag under the table, she goes down to pick it up, but hits her head on the table, causing the tea to shoot into the matchmakers face*

MM:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHH!!!*Jumps around holding face

Ming:Here *reaches for her bottle of water, instead grabbing her portable Tongue of the Dragon Ramen, thermos, and throws it into the matchmaker's face*

Matchmaker:AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH *Now blinded, the Matchmaker falls right through the large glass fish tank, realising all the fish and water, she thens slips on the water* AAAAAAHHH, my back!!!

(Outside)

Ming's Grandmother:Sounds like it's going well *laughs*

(Inside)

MIng:I..I'm so sorry...here let me help yo....

MM:STAY AWAY!!!!!! *Tries to get back up, and slips again oonto the fireplace, setting her behind on fire* PUT IT OUT!!!!PUT IT OUT!!!! *Tusn outside busting through the doors, as everyone gasps*

Ming:*Throws water on MM, putting out the fire* Hehe, found the water...^_^', *Bows and returns to her mother's side in the crowd*

MM:YOU ARE A POOR EXCUSE FOR A WOMEN. YOU WILL NEVER HAVE A HUSBAND, YOU LACK THE THE INTELLIGENCE, AND THE COMPASITY. YOU ARE THE WORST PERSON I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE OF MEETING. YOU MAY LOOK LIKE A BRIDE, BUT YOU WILL NEVER BRING YOUR FAMILY HONOR!!!!!!!!!!!!! *storms off*

Ming:*Runs off crying, she is alone in her familie's large garden. The next seen plays out exactly like this but of course with Ming instead.*

Zero: *waiting, leaning on the bridge*

Twister: -_-' do you even want my money I'm giving? seriously Ming is on the line and I deeply know what your on to...so I'm giving money to you without paying back, so yeah...you can take or deny I don;t care -_-' Tails  6000  01:00, May 12, 2010 (UTC)

Zero: *too deep in thought, snorts*

Twister: meh I got nothing better to do, see ya, say hi to Ming for me! *runs off*

Twister: Meh, I got nothing better to talk about, you got anything worth speaking of dude?

Zero: *gives Twister a "go away or you won't like what happens" look*

Twister: -_-' your call dude...I'll see you later....just don't tell anyone bout the nosebleed my cousin gave me -_-'

Zero: *snorts*


 * (Kagi: Famo, Ming's promise?)
 * (Right, sorry)

Ming:*Faking a smile* I'm back...

Zero: Hey Ming! *walks up to her*

Ming:*Oddly, she is wearing glasses*

Zero: *leans close* Hey, why are you wearing glasses?

Ming:*Shying away from the question* You don't think they're cool?

Zero: N-no, they're cool, just not- hey, wait a minute...

Ming:Uh, what?

Zero: *leans in closer, lightly grabs the glasses, and takes them off* Your cheeks are puffy, and your eyes, they're watery! You've been crying!

Ming:Heh, I don't cry.

Zero: Well you've been crying.

MIng:*Snatches back the glasses, and puts them back on* Why on earth would I be crying?!

Zero: *puts his hands on her shoulders* You tell me; what happened?

Ming:Hmmph! Why do you care so much anyway?!

Zero: I told you already; I'm crazy about you. Now tell me what happened.

Ming:I...completely messed up. I threw tea and ramen in the matchmaker's face, I set her butt on fire, I made her fall through a fish tank, and then she said that I might look like a bride, but that I'd never bring honor to my family.

Zero: ........ *slowly takes Ming's glasses off and wipes away the water in her eyes, then looks her eye-to-eye* Then she doesn't know a damn thing about what she's talking about. *hugs Ming*

Ming:Thanks *Hugs him back*

Zero: Ming, it's alright for you to cry. I'm here for you.

MIng:*Tears stroll down her face*

Zero: *gently pats and rubs her back, whispering soothingly* There there, it's alright...

Ming:*Still crying*

Zero: There there, I'm here, you're okay... *still patting and rubbing her back as he holds her*

Ming:*Sobs, and breaks hug, she wipes her eyes* Thanks.

Zero: Anytime. *kisses Ming on the cheek*

Ming:I'm sorry for being such a burden

Zero: *pulls her close with one arm, then lifts up her chin so they're eye-to-eye, his face close to hers* Who ever said you were a burden?

Ming:I just thought...

Zero: Don't ever think something like that again... *kisses Ming*

Ming:I have to tell you something, and I feel like the worst person in the world, for having to.

Zero: Oh yeah, there was also something else you were going to tell me before. So, let's hear it.

Ming:I was going to tell you I really like you, but you won't like the rest of it...

Zero: *kisses her on the cheek* After hearing what you just said, I can take whatever it is.

MIng:I'm not sure where my head is at, you may not be the only person, I feel so horrible!!

Zero: Is that so?

Ming:Yes, you must think I'm a horrible person!!

Zero: If I thought you were a horrible person, would I do this? *kisses Ming on the lips*

Ming:*Suprised, and they mutually break the kiss* I guess not, thank you for being so supportive.

Zero: *looks her in the yes, smiling* How many times do I have to say it? I'm crazy for you. *hugs her closely while kissing her*

Ming:*Breaks the kiss* Thanks, but for now until I can think abit, we should remain friends.

Zero: *still hugging her* I may have trouble with that. After all, I am a mix of two of the world's greatest predators.

MIng:Well your my friend, so I hope that you will take that in consideration, besides I'm a panda and....*thinks* what is it that panda's do, well whatever it is I do to!!

Zero: *still hugging* Well, you can bet that I'm gonna be aiming for something higher than friends. Besides, there's something that seperates me from the other fellas...

Ming:The kiss?

Zero: Yup. *kisses Ming on the lips, thn breaks it after a short while* I doubt any of the other fellas can say they've done that, since I was your first kiss.

Ming:Yeah, I just hope I'm not bad at it!

Zero: *leans close, grins* Oh, I'd say you're pretty good at it.

Ming:Well that's a pressure taken off, so *extends hand* friends?

Zero: *takes Ming's hand, then pulls her in closely so their bodies touch, wraps one arm around her waist, then kisses her deeply and passionately*

Ming:*Returns it for a few seconds, but breaks it, and pushes him on his butt* Does the word friend mean nothing to you. *Begins yelling in Chinese*

Zero: *gets up, then pulls her close again, wrapping his arms around her waist, and smiles* Funny, you weren't being just a "friend" when you were returning and enjoying that kiss.

Ming:*Crosses arms and looks away, she closes her eyes, and has almost a smug like-look on her face* Hmmph! I did not!

Zero: Yes you did.

Ming:No, I didn't.

Zero: *nuzzles her neck* Yes you did.

Ming:Did not!

Zero: *keeps nuzzling* Did too.

MIng:*muffled giggle*Didn't

Zero: *nuzzles more* Did so.

Ming:*More muffled giggles* Nope

Zero: *keeps nuzzling* Admit it.

Ming:*Accidentaly let's out a small giggle* Nothing to admit

Zero: *keeps nuzzling* Come on, admit that you enjoyed the kiss.

Ming:*giggles* I told you I didn't.

Zero: *nuzzling* I know you did.

Ming:*Giggling* How would you know?

Zero: *keeps nuzzling, growls playfully* Because I swore I caught a bit of tongue during that kiss.

Ming:*Laughing* Alright! Alright!

Zero: *nuzzles more* Alright what?

Ming:I kissed you....A LITTLE...back.

Zero: *nuzzles some more* It was more than just a little.

Ming:Fine! It was a fair amount.

Zero: Oh come now, just fair? *nuzzles more*

Ming:Yes, and there is no way your gonna get me to fabricate my story any further.

Zero: Oh? Will I get the truth out of you if I tickle you?

Ming:Maybe, maybe not.

Zero: *nuzzles her neck some more* Last chance to tell me the truth.

Ming:I already told you, it was a fair amount.

Zero: Guess I'll just have to tickle it out of ya! *takes his hands off from around her waist and starts tickling her stomach*

Ming:*Giggles*

Zero: *tickles her more*

Ming:*Giggling more* Stop!

Zero: *keeps tickling* Not until you admit how much you really enjoyed that kiss.

Ming:*Giggling/Slight laughter* I already told you there isn't anything to admit.

Zero: Yes there is! *tickles more*

Ming:*Laughs, slightly loses balance* I think we should *laughing* stop!

Zero: *keeps tickling* Not until I hear you admit it!

Ming:*Laughing very hard, loses balance and grabs on to Zero, they both fall into the water, Ming is completely soaking wet,* I told you!

Zero: *spits out water* I would have stopped if you told me how much you really enjoyed the kiss! *splashes her with water*

Ming:And I told you there wasn't anything to admit! *Splashes him back*

Zero: And I happen to know that you enjoyed it more than you're willing to say! *splashes her again*

Ming:*Splashes him using her super strength to drench him with water*

Zero: *shakes off water, spraying Ming*

Ming:*Spits out water along with a fish* T_T Fine I enjoyed it alot

Zero: What was that?

Ming: I enjoyed it alot!

Zero: You did?

Ming:*Flustered, but slightly angry* yes,okay

Zero: *wades over so he's right in front of Ming, puts his hand under her chin and brings her face up so they're eye-to-eye* I didn't quite catch that. Could you say it a bit louder?

Ming:*Grabs him extremely hard by his chest fur,* Don't push it! *Kisses him on the cheek*

Zero: *smiles warmly* Sorry, but I've got some water in my ears. I didn't hear it.

Ming:*Goes extremely close to hsi ear, and whispers* If you want any chance of making us work, I'd suggest you drop, we both know you heard me.

Zero: *puts a finger on her nose, then gently pushes her away from his ear. He then raises his other hand and knocks on his head, knocking some water out of his ear*

Ming: Your so difficult!

Zero: *wraps his arms around her, smiling at her* I told you I had water in my ears. *lays his head on her shoulder* I don't want you to scream it to the heavens, I just don't want you to be afraid to say it. Otherwise, it makes it seem like you're ashamed.

Ming:But if the people I was telling you about before knew it would break their hearts, and like I said I'm not sure where my mind is at. I really liked it, I did, and I like you. But I still like them too, I'm just not sure who I ready to take it to another level with,*Slight Innoncence and sorrow* okay?

Zero: *kisses her on the cheek, still holding her* You said how much you actually liked it; that's all I wanted you to say.

Ming:*Blushes slightly, and gets up* C'mon we should probably go dry off, how about....*Looks over to a beautiful Cherry Blossom Tree* over there!

Zero: *picks Ming up bridal style* If that's what you want.

Ming:I could get use to this...*They arrive the tree, Ming finds a place to lay down, and she gazes up to the sky* Wow, the stars....they're so beautiful.

Zero: Yeah, *puts his arm around Ming's shoulder and looks at her* but I'd rather look at what's x10 as beautiful and right next to me.

Ming:*Giggles* That was kinda cheesy, but ...thanks. So... what's your story. I mean you sweep in here, like some romeo, but what's your story. Everybody comes from somewhere, and to me origins are on of the most important aspects of life.

Zero: "Origins"? Heh, I don't think I have any of those. I also know that "Romeo" isn't a term used to describe me...

Ming:Hmm, well that's okay. I have this cousin who says "It's not about where your from, but about where your going".

Zero: Wouldn't that be a contradiction?

Ming:For me sure, but that's his opinion not mine. I wouldn't judge you for your past if that's what you think, I was just curious sorry.

Zero: That's not what I mean. You're so worried about following the traditions of your family and where you're from, that you don't think about your future or what you want to do.

Ming:Well, I plan on becoming a graphic designer, I even like drawing, and I've been told I'm pretty good, but family comes first, and if I had to give up my dreams for what was best for them I would without hesitation. They are very important to me.

Zero: *pulls her closer* I think you should do what makes you happy, not what makes others happy at your own expense. It's not fair to you, and I can't stand that...

Ming:*Rests her head on his chest.* Well sometimes life can't be fair for everyone.

Zero: *wraps his other arm around her, holding her* Well, it should be fair to someone like you.

Ming:I don't know...*looks at the stars and begisn to drift off in Zero's arms*

Zero: *smiles* Hey, don't fall asleep on me.

Ming:*Jitters up* Huh? *Accidentaly headbutts Zero, giggling and holding head* Ow, sorry.

Zero: Aww, *kisses her head* does that feel better?

Ming:*giggles*I'm not five, ya know. I can handle myself. *Teasingly* You just have a big and hard head ^_^

Zero: Very funny. *bleeding from nose*

Ming:*Still slightly giggling, concerned*Ooh! Your bleeding!

Zero: I am?

Ming:Oh yes, I'm so sorry! *Takes off her arm cloth, and runs over to the pond, she wets it and returns* Here this should stop it, look at me hitting you like you were a troll, I'm so so sorry. *As she washes it off she looks him directly in the eyes...but then continues wiping the blood off*There you go.

Zero: *meeting her gaze* Don't worry, it's alright. I get into a lot of scrapes, so a hit like this doesn't even register with me. *smiles warmly*

Ming:*Teasingly* Your not calling me weak are you, I don't like to toot my own horn, but I think I could take you down.

Zero: Noo, of course not, I'd never call you weak. *smiles* But is that a challenge?

Ming:*Sarcastically* Huh, I didn't realize I was in the presence of a genuis!

Zero: *frowns* That was rather hurtful Ming. I'm more than big muscles and a half-decent personality.

Ming:Awww, I was just kidding Zero, I'm sorry.

Zero: *kisses her on the forehead* It's okay. I know how you can make it up to me.

Ming:*Intrested* And how is that?

Zero: A: A date, tomorrow. B: A long, deep, loving kiss, or C...

Ming:Not that A and B aren't appealing, what's C?

Zero: Both A and B in the order of your choosing.

Ming:Well how about this, we see where our date goes tomorrow and then *jokingly* we'll see if we can fit B in.

Zero: So your choice is C?

Ming:*Jokingly*Well I did clonk you in the head, and then added insult to injury, so it's only fair.

Zero: Okay then, it's a date!

Ming:Glad that's settled, cause *yawns* I'm tired.

Zero: *puts his hand on the back of her head and guides her to rest it on his chest* You can use me as a pillow if you want. It's the least I could do, since you gave me such a beautiful experience.

Ming:*looks up at him, and smiles. She gets comfy and begins to drift off to sleep*

Zero: *looks up* Under a beautiful cherry blossom tree, gazing at beautiful stars... *looks down at Ming* with an even more beautiful girl.

Ming:*lightly snoring*

Zero: She's cute even when she snores.

Ming:*Begisn to shake, while sleeping she talks* No I didn't mean it, I...I'm sorry, no, no, no...

Zero: Huh...?

Ming: I'm sorry, I know I have dishonored you, but I...I'm not who you want me to be!

Zero: What is she talking about...?

Ming:''You too? I...I didn't mean it, I didn't want to hurt you, I...I'm sorry, I was still so unsure, I just couldn't decide.''

Zero: Wait a minute, what is she...?

Ming:''I wanted to, I liked you, but how could I choose. I have already dishonored them, I can't be with any of you, a promise is a promise. I must marry into Chun-Nan nobility...I...I'm sorry.''

Zero: *whispers soothingly to her* Shhhh, don't worry... *starts stroking her head* I'm here for you.

Ming:*Becomes quiet*

Zero: *still whispering and stroking* Stop worrying about your family's silly traditions. Follow your heart, and do what you truly think is right.

Ming:*Not answering him, in a general tone* I'm afraid to...

Zero: *smiles, still whispering soothingly to her as he strokes her head* Why are you afraid?

Ming:*Worried* I...I don't know what's right.

Zero: *whispering and stroking* What does your heart tell you to do?

Ming:My hearts the one that's doing this to me, my brains trying to pull it out of the ditch it's made.

Zero: *whispering and stroking* What do you mean?

Ming:My heart can't pick anyone without breaking, and it can't follow it's own path for fear of rejection...

Zero: *whispering and stroking* Now now, don't worry. I'll never reject you....

Ming:You say that now.

Zero: And I'll always mean it, my dear Ming...

Ming:*Drifts back off so that she is no onger half-awak, she lightly snores*

Zero: *continues stroking and whispering* I'll always mean it Ming. I'll never reject you...

Ming:*Fast asleep, begis comically snoring loudly*

Zero: *laughs* You're so adorable, Ming.

Ming:*Ming begins moving around, She smacks Zeor in the face on accident, she mumbles something and continues moving around, until getting comfortable again, and snoring*

Zero: *rubs his cheek, still smiling*

Ming:*Still Snoring*

Zero: *smiles at Ming, and starts caressing her cheek*

Ming:*Smiles lightly*

Zero: *continues caressing her cheek, and kisses her forehead*

Ming:*Still smiling*

Zero: *smiling as he caresses her cheek* You're beautiful, Ming...

Ming:*Still smiling, her snowing picks back up*

Zero: *stops caressing, keeping his hand on her cheek* You are truly beautiful Ming. I'd hate for anything to take away that lively look you always have on your face...

(Ming's arch rival Giggie is spying)

Giggie:What is he doing with my girl...I mean that girl! She is the rudest, and most obnoxious person I know! What would anybody see in her?

Zero: *smiles* Ming, are you awake?

Ming:*Still sleeping, not responding*

Giggie:What makes him think he can just waltz on in here, and flirt with Ming, I mean not that I care. It's just gross!!!!! *Covers Mouth* Oops.

Zero: *ear twitches, and he snarls. Not speaking in any general direction* Whoever's out there better vamoose before I make them a midnight snack!

Giggie:*attempts to make a crow noise* Cacaw!Cacaw!

Zero: *looks at Ming, and starts caressing her cheek again* Don't worry Ming, I won't let anything happen to you...

Giggie:Phew that was close! Maybe I can get a closer look *Moves ahead to a rock*

Zero: I promise Ming, I won't let anything happen to you as long as I'm around.

Giggie:*Mocking* Ming, I won't let anything happen to you as long as I'm around...blah blah blah!

Zero: *looking at Ming* Oh yeah, and Monkey...?

Giggie:O_O'

Zero: I don't know who you are or why you're here, but if you come within 100 yards of Ming again, I'll paint the ground red with your blood and use your corpse as a punching bag.

Giggie:*thinking* ''It's now or never Giggie! ''*Jumps out from behind the rock* Ming is my girlfriend, so back off bub!

Zero: *looks at Giggie with a calm gaze, which is actually filled with obvious killer intent*

Giggie:*Gulps, but stands there firmly.*

Zero: ......*looks down at Ming, moves his hand to her shoulder, and starts shaking her lightly* Hey Ming?

Ming:*Sleeping heavily*

Zero: *shakes her a bit harder* Ming?

Ming:*Jolts up* I told you I don't have corn in my tee--*looks up at Zero* oh! What's up?

Zero: *points at Giggie* Is this guy your boyfriend?

'Ming:O_O NO!!!!!!!!!!!! 谁告诉您那I' ll裂口他们的在他们的头骨外面的脑子!!!' (Who the hell told you that I'll rip their brain out of their skull!!!)

Zero: Oh really? *looks at Giggie angrily* Then this monkey's been spewing lies. Would you like me to deal with him?

Ming:>=0...I was thinking I could make him pay! *Runs after Giggie*

Giggie:Ming no stop please, I was only kidding, I hate you, you hate me, right?

Ming:*Charges at Giggie, and she begins wailing on him though off screen, sounds of punching and crying for help can be heard*

Zero: *watches Ming* Wow, that's one hell of a woman!

Ming:Hmmph! *Walks back over to Zero, and dusts off her hands.*

Giggie: *On the ground crippled with pain, sobbing and moaning in pain. He is a bloodied and bruised wreck.*

Zero: Feel better?

Ming:Hmmmph! *Walks back over to Giggie, and pours her Tongue of the Dragon Ramen soup filled thermos on his groin*

Giggie:*Screams in pain*

Ming:Now I do.

Zero: *smiles* Wow, beauty and brawn.

Ming:Well...I'm not tired anymore!

Zero: Oh, you sure you don't want to take a seat? *pats on his lap and smiles*

Giggie:Your not going to call an ambulance?!

Ming:Maybe he's right...

Zero: About calling an ambulance?

Ming:Sure...I mean he is *Loud enough for Giggie to here* Annoying! And he did desereve every hit he got, *Normal*but still we shouldn't just leave him there.

Zero: Are any of his injuries life-threatening?

Ming:I didn't exactly go easy on him.

Zero: Well... *gets up* it would cause trouble for you if you called an ambulance. Sooo... *walks over and picks Ming up bridal style* how about I carry you home, then on my way back, I pick him up and drop him off at the hospital?

Ming:Alright, just try not to hurt him too bad, he's not always so annoying.

Zero: *smiles* You're very kind Ming, worrying about someone you don't even like.

Ming:*Blushes*Thanks...maybe the doofus is growing on me.

Zero: Oh? Could I have more competition?

Ming:*Nods over to Giggie crying in pain* That answer your question?

Zero: Yeah. Now, *nuzzles her cheek* allow me to get you home.

Ming:What a gentleman!

Zero: Well, it may be old-fashioned, but a guy is supposed to treat a girl with respect. *starts walking while carrying Ming bridal syle*

Ming:*Cuddles up in Zero's arms*

Zero: *holds her close* Now, you're gonna have to tell me where you live.

Ming:My house is not to far from my Ramen Shop. It borders the forest. So go into the town and I'll guide you from there.

Zero: Okay. But until I get you home, I'm not letting your feet touch the ground for an instant. *smiles*

Ming:Sounds like a challenge.

Zero: How so?

Ming:All this weight is gonna get hard to carry.

Zero: Ming, the last thing you are is heavy.

Ming:You sure?

Zero: Quite sure.

Ming:'Kay

Zero: Now, tell me where to go.

Ming:Alright now that were in the city, just keep going straight until you reach that building over there. *Points to a building ahead.*

Zero: Okay. *starts walking towards the building*

Ming:Then after you get there, you take a left, and then walk a little, and then a right. Then you should be in Town Square.

Zero: Okay.

Ming:When you get there I'll direct you to where you go next ^ ^

Zero: *smiles* You're enjoying this, aren't you? *nuzzles her*

Ming:*Giggles*Sure, am

Zero: Well, a girl like you deserves the royal treatment.

Ming:*Blushes, and smiles*

Zero: *nuzzles her again*

Ming:*Giggles* You better pay attention, you might crash into something or some-one.

Zero: Oh don't worry, we'll be fine.

Ming:I hope so....

Zero: What do you mean?

Ming:Not everyone in this city is sunshines and rainbows, I just don't feel like punding anymore skulls that's all...

Zero: Don't worry. I'll take care of any jerks who come our way.

Ming:Okay...

Zero: Now, don't worry about it, my little princess... *nuzzles her*

Ming:*Rests in his arms*

Zero: Hey, we're here.

Ming:Okay, now take a left up at the new station. Then take another left, and keep going straight until you can make out the Pier Carnival.

Zero: Sure thing, my princess.

Ming:*Blushes* I'm no princess...

Zero: You are to me...

Ming:Trust me I'm not the princess type, it's a good thing. That role comes with alot of baggage...

Zero: You know what I mean.

Ming:YeAh, but teasing you is too fun for me ^ ^

Zero: *smiles mischeviously, then tosses Ming several feet into the air*

Ming:!!*Suprised, yelp*

Zero: *catches her as she falls back down, smiling* And that as payback.

Ming:*Gives hima stern look trying not to laugh* Do you really want to play this game?

Zero: *smiles* Maybe. What type of game are you talking about?

Ming:Let's just say revenge is my middle name.

Zero: Hey, you didn't think I was gonna drop you, did ya?

Ming:Well, you wouldn't drop a princess, right?

Zero: Actually, I'd drop them in a minute if I didn't like them. Which means you have nothing to worry about. *nuzzles her*

Ming:I guess not.

Zero: What does that mean?

Ming:Just agreeing with you^ ^

Zero: Heh, okay. So, here we are.

Ming:Alright my Ramen shop is a little farther up. Then take a left behind the Ramen Shop, and you should see a jungle like area, go into it a little, and there you are. You'll be able to tell it's mine, like I said, my parents are very traditional. So we have a traditional home. It's a Chinese style home, with a large garden, and pond. It's really pretty.

Zero: Can't wait to see it.

Ming:Yeah, it's a little piece of Chun-Nan. I was born there, but came here when I was three. It's so beautiful there, but this city is so nice too.

Zero: Makes sense for a beautiful girl to come from a beautiful country.

Ming:*Blushes* Well, thank you.

Zero: *smiles* No problem.

Ming:Yup, family is very special to me...

Zero: I know. Unfortunately, that leaves you with a heavy burden.

Ming:Yeah, I know, *Jokingly* but at least your here to help carry it ^^

Zero: You bet I am. *kisses her on the forehead*

Ming:I was just kidding, I don't expect you to deal with any of my problems.

Zero: Then I guess I'll be doing something unexpected.

Ming:For me? You don't have to do that...

Zero: But I want to...

Ming:I don't think you know what your signing up for, I'm a 19 year old college student, and a real b*tch when I'm unhappy, just like every other female 19 year old college student.

Zero: I think I can handle it.

Ming:Hey, have you ever been to Chun-Nan.

Zero: Nope, can't say I have. That a problem?

Ming:Me, no....my family, yes.

Zero: Well.... what they don't know, won't hurt them.

Ming:*Jokingly, slight sarcasm* Are you insisting that I lie to my parents?!

Zero: Depends; what would your reaction be if I was?

Ming:*Jokingly, with more slight sarcasm* I would be shocked! You'd be a very bad boy if you did that!

Zero: Seriously Ming, what would you do if I was suggesting that?

Ming:I can't lie to my parents! That is huge dishonor!

Zero: It would only be a dishonor if they found out. I know it's not great, but it's better than being forced to marry someone, isn't it?

Ming:I guess so...but lying to my parents. I never thought of that, I'll be directly disobeying them if I even pick anyone to date.

Zero: I know, but it would be the only way you could have any chance at a normal relationship.

Ming:True, but to dishonor them would be...horrible

Zero: *kisses her on the forehead* Don't worry, I'd figure something out. Maybe if I repaid them by doing something to bring equally great honor, it would balance it out.

Ming:I don't think so....

Zero: You never know until you try. But, I'm not going to force you to do anything. Give the idea some thought though.

Ming:I will.

Zero: That's good. *kisses Ming on the lips*

Ming:*Breaks kiss* Friends, remember?

Zero: *smiles warmly* Sorry, I have a terrible memory.

Ming:*Suspiciously/Jokingly* Mmhm.

Zero: Besides, it's torture trying to resist such a beautiful girl.

Ming: *Giggles* Well, I'm okay I guess.

Zero: Ming, you're selling yourself 10 miles too short if you think you're just "okay".

Ming:Well that's how I see myself. Nothin' special 'bout me.

Zero: Well, I could think of a lot of special things about you...

Ming:Oh yeah...like what?

Zero: Well, you're beautiful, strong, humble, and you're very loyal to your family.

Ming:*Blushes* I...I..

Zero: ?

Ming:I don't know what to say, that was so sweet *wraps her arms around him*

Zero: Well, I meant it. *kisses her on the lips*

Ming:*Breaks it, clears throat in a scolding manner* Well, we're here!

Zero: Huh, so this is your house?

Ming:Mmhm

Zero: Pretty big. Classy too.

Ming:Thank you

Zero: *is about to put Ming down, but stops*

Ming:What is it?

Zero: Well, a thought came to me. What time is it?

Ming:*Looks down at her clock belt, and sighs* Oh boy it's 12:00!

Zero: Hey Ming, do you have a curfew?

Ming:Well when I have to work, I do. I'm gonna be in huge trouble!

Zero: .....Hey Ming, where's your bedroom?

Ming:Back of the house, on the second *top* floor.

Zero: Well.... no lights are on....

Ming:My parents probably are asleep...what are you getting at?

Zero: *starts running around to the back of the house*

Ming:*Suprised* What are you doing?!

Zero: *reaches the back of the house, then jumps up to the first-floor roof*

Ming:*Surprised* Okay! *Ming's room as a small patio type balchony.*

Zero: *jumps over to the balcony. Then, cradling Ming in one arm, picks the lock to the door with his claw*

Ming:You used to this sorta thing?

Zero: *walks in, still holding Ming* Depends, would you think less of me?

Ming:No....

Zero: Well, I do have a little experience. *puts Ming down*

(Ming's bedroom is made of wood. it has alot of posters hanging around. She has a messed bed, and cups and bowls by her work table. On her work table of her beautiful drawings. She has a large closet, and has a pretty big bed with a purple fuzzy comforter. She has a laptop and a Flat Screen t.v.)

Ming:Sorry 'bout the mess.

Zero: Don't worry about it.

Ming:I don't spend much time here.

Zero: Really?

Ming:Yeah, I'm a college student.

Zero: Wow; beauty, brawn, and brains.

Ming:*Blushes*I want to be a graphic designer, and I can do tattoo's. *Grabs some of her beautiful dragon drawings from her work table.*

Zero: *smiles* Well then, do you have any experience in giving tattoos?

Ming:Yeah I help Mario down at his tattoo parlor sometimes.

Zero: *still smiling* Then maybe you can give me one sometime.

Ming:*Blushes* Maybe.

Zero: Good. Now, you get ready for bed while I look out for your parents.

Ming:Okay *Goes behind a Chinese Oriented Room Divider and begins to change, she comes back out wearing a long sweatshirt that while baggy shows her figure, and is knee length.* Okay I'm done.O_O *Remembers the fact that Zero is in her room while she changed at night. She walks over to him angrily and smacks him!*

Zero: *holds his cheek* What was that-?

Ming:I see what your doing, 要认为，我信任象您的一头肮脏的猪! 您是 再幸运我没有通过我的窗口敲您. (to think, I trusted a dirty pig like you! You're lucky I did not knock you through my window.)

Zero: Ming, what are you talking about? What did I do?

Ming:What do you think I'm some easy bimbo *Picks up her desk ready to throw it* that you can just have your way with!?

Zero: ....What?

Ming:*Mockingly* Oh get ready for bed while I look for your parents! Yeah right, you jerk!

Zero: Wait, you think I was trying to-?

Ming:I don't think it, I know it!

Zero: .....*walks over to Ming, and stops right in front of her*

Ming:*Silent, puts down desk, still angry*

Zero: Ming, if you honestly think that for even a moment I had any immoral intentions, then do it.

Ming:*Still angry, slight smugness*Do what?!

Zero: Pick up that desk and hit me over the head with it.

Ming:Fine, I've just been going through alot, and I *Knock at the door*

Daifu:Ming are you okay in there.

Ming:Yes papa, there was just a spider.

Zero: Ming... *puts his hand under her chin and brings her face up to his*

Ming:*Silent*

Zero: *leans in*

Ming:.....

Zero: *gives her a deep, tender, and loving kiss on the lips. He wraps his arms around her waist, and holds her closely*

Ming:*Breaks kiss, informatively* Zero, we're just friends.

Zero: Ming?

Ming:What is it?

Zero: *smiles softly at her, giving her a gentle, tender look. Jokingly* Just shut up and kiss me.

Ming:*Looks at Zero, slightly tempted to do as he said. She kisses him on the cheek* I'll see you tomorrow, Zero.

Zero: *sighs, then picks Ming up bridal-style again*

Ming:What are you doing?

Zero: *smiles* Giving my princess the royal treatment. *carries her over to her bed, gently lays her on the bed, then pulls the covers over her*

Ming:*Smiles* Thanks Zero.

Zero: No problem, my Chun-Nan Princess. *kisses her on the forehead*

Ming:*Smiles, and turns over to her side, she begins to drift off to sleep.*

Zero: *walks over to the window, the looks back at Ming. Whispers* See you tomorrow Ming.

Ming:*Asleep*

Zero: *smiles, then steps out onto the balcony, closing the door behind him, then jumps down and leaves*

Ming X Zero: The Date
(The next morning)

Ming:*Yawns, and sits up*

(Ming then hears little scratching/knocking noises at her window.)

Ming:*Tired Lazily* Hmmm *Goes to check who it is*

(Ming sees that the noise is coming from tiny pebbles being thrown at her window. She looks through her window to see Zero on the ground, leaning on a tree and flicking the pebbles at her window. Upon seeing her, he stops and smiles.)

Ming:*Brushes her hair out of her face. She opens her window to find that it is bright and early morning. The birds are chirping and the sun is out, tiredly* What are you doing here?

Zero: *smiling* "C".

Ming:*Tired, confused* What?!

Zero: *still smiling* I believe you chose "C".

Ming:*The memories of yesterday flow back, still tired* Oh yeah, but you said you'd be paying for it right?

Zero: Yup. *he suddenly charges at then climbs up the wall. In the next moment, he's on the other side of the balcony fence* So, you ready to go?

Ming:*Ming is sill in her pajamas with messy shoulder length hair, She looks very tired* Do I look ready?

Zero: *smiles* You look great to me.

Ming:There's a difference between you and everyone else. I'm gonna go take a shower. You can come in, but don't come out of my room, I'll be down the hall in the bathroom.

Zero: I see you trust me more than you did last night.

Ming:Yeah *Rubs the back of her head smiling* Sorry about that. O_O Zero....did you ever get Giggie?

Zero: What about the monkey "found in critical condition in front of the hospital at midnight, who despite his injuries is expected to survive"?

Ming:Phew, alright let me go get ready, I love the morning, just hate waking up.

Zero: Okay. Oh and Ming?

Ming:Yeah?

Zero: Last night did hurt my feelings a bit. *obviously fake sad face*

Ming:*Smiles* Oh, you poor thing, how could I make it up to you?

Zero: *gives a playful, sly smile* You could pay for our date today.

Ming:*Jokingly* I thought you were a gentleman...

Zero: *jokingly* I am. That's why I'm gonna take you to the best places I know. The budget is all up to you.

Ming:Well your a really good....friend.

Zero: *playfully, smugly* Yeah, that's what you were gonna say.

Ming:*Sucks teeth* I meant that you must obviously be my friend if your making me pay for it. Could you do me a favor?

Zero: Anything for my Chun-Nan Princess.

Ming:Could you pick out an outfit for me to where, I have trouble with that.

Zero: Ohhhhh, that might be trouble. You see, I don't really have an eye for design, so you might not like what I pick out. Plus, we'll be going to a lot of places... Oh, only if that's okay with you of course.

Ming:Oh c'mon how bad could you be at it?

Zero: *sheepish laughter* I don't think you want to risk it, since you're the one who has to wear it.

Ming:Alright *Goes over to her closet*

Zero: .....Sure you want me to give it a shot?

Ming:*Jokingly*Oh, suddenly turn into a fashionista?

Zero: No, but I might as well be considerate enough to give it a shot.

Ming:Alright, Go ahead. *Moves to the side.*

Zero: Okay. *climbs over the balcony fence, but stops before he enters her room. Playfully and jokingly* You aren't gonna smack me and try to hit me with a desk again if I come into your room, are you?

Ming:*Jokingly* No promises.

Zero: *jokingly* Then I'll have to be careful.

Ming:*Smiles*Step right up, stylist!

Zero: Okay. I'd say that you should take a shower while I pick somethin' out for ya, but...

Ming:That wouldn't work out, cause you'd need to bring it to me, and you can't leave the room.

Zero: Oh. I was uh, thinking that you wouldn't trust me to look through your clothes....

Ming:*Smiling* It was a mood Zero! Get over it! Unless you don' think I should trust you.

Zero: Well, I'm worried over what brought the mood on, and whether or not you do trust me.

Ming:I told you I was going through alto, I really don't want to talk about it anymore.

Zero: ...Ming, I told you I want to be more than friends, right?

Ming:Yeah....

Zero: Well, I wouldn't even be a good friend, much less anything more, if I didn't worry about you and didn't ask what was going on.

Ming:I'm okay, really. Just thinking is all.

Zero: Is it about the other guys and me?

Ming:Yeah

Zero: Then tell me about it. You can't say anything like "it has nothing to do with you" after all.

Ming:This is supposed to be a nice day, let's not ruin it with stressful topics.

Zero: *sighs* Okay, but I'm not letting it go so easily. We'll enjoy our date, then you can tell me. *starts looking through Ming's clothes*

Ming:Alright....

Zero: Hm.... Okay! How about this? *holds up a red tube-top, black jean shorts, and white knee-length boots with a thick black trim*

Ming:*Trying to sound positive*Oh! That outfit...

Zero: Well? Do you like it?

Ming:*Still trying to sound positive* It's....red....and....black ^_^'

Zero: You don't like it, do you...

Ming:No it's....nice....just not my color preference.

Zero: So, would you try it on?

Ming:Yeah, but I don't want to dirty it so I'll take a shower first *Grabs the clothes from Zero, she grabs the remote from her bed and tosses it to Zero* You can watch TV *Points to a flat screen on the wall* but make sure you keep it down.

Zero: Okay. Don't keep me waiting too long, my Chun-Nan Princess.

Ming:I'll try *Slides her doors open just enough to slide through. She closes them behind her*

Zero: *looks around* ''So, this is Ming's room? I wasn't able to get a good look around last night...''

(With Ming)

Ming:*Drags her self lazily into the bathroom* This outfit, out of all my outfit he picked this one! Huh, better just suck it up and get in the shower. *Ming turns the water on*

(Back with Zero)

Zero: *walking around the room* Ming's certainly an interesting girl. Her room isn't much like how I thought it'd be. *looks down, and notices something* Huh?

Ming:*Ming is singing in the shower, and while she can't be seen her thoughts are heard* I wonder where we are going.

Zero: *kneels down, as he's seen something poking out from under Ming's bed* What's this? *he grabs the item, and pulls it out*

Ming: Huh, you've got some big decisions to make Ming.

Zero: *ends up pulling out a small book* Huh, what's this?

Ming:I feel really bad for yelling at Zero like I did, I have to make it up to him somehow.

Zero: *examining the book* What is this?

Ming:I'm really glad I can trust him...

Zero: *opens the book and starts reading*

Ming:Hmm....showers are so relaxing.It's the only thing that's been able to keep my mind off all of this stuff.

Zero: Hey, this seems like it's a diary! ....Hm, I wonder what it says...

Ming:I should get out soon...

Zero: *starts reading* Hey, what's this? *reads*

Diary:''Dear Diary; Have I ever mentioned how much I hate clowns?! One came into the shop from the fair today and I spilled ramen all over myself. They are so creepy, with all that face paint, and their bad hygiene. I've never told anyone, but they scare me. Though punching Giggie usually helps >=D.....''

Zero: So Ming's afraid of clowns? *smiles a little* That's actually pretty cute.

Ming:Ah, maybe I could stay in for a few more minutes.

Zero: So, what else does this say...?

Diary:''Deary Diary, I really met a sweat guy today. His name is Meta-Fox. Kind of a weird name, but he seemed really nice, he was blushing and everything, and he was a gentleman. I could see myself in a relationship with him.''

Zero: *sighs* ''Looks like this Meta-Fox guy is some of my competition... Well, might as well see who the other guys are.''

Diary:''Dear Diary, you wouldn't believe the day I had today. I spilled ramen all over a customer today, but I did meet a really cool guy too. His name is Nogale. He seems like a gentleman, some-one my mom would like. He's really nice, and he compliments me. Great now I have a choice, let's hope it doesn't get more complicated....''

Zero: ''Met that Nogale fella, and he did seem like a decent fella. So, who else is there?''

Diary:''Dear Diary, I met a really nice guy today, his name was Tattoo, he was at my ramen shop, and he got all red. He's really cute, but I saw my mom giving me harsh glances while I was talking to him. It's just my luck, more choices.''

Zero: ''Geez, just how much competition do I have? ...I wonder what it says about me...?''

Diary:''Dear Diary, today has been a really bad day, the matchmaker flipped on me, it was a total disaster, and I just want this day to be over. Though there was a silver lining, I met a really great guy today. He's name Zero, he's very blunt about his feelings about me, and his flirting is blunt too, he may not be the perfect gentleman, but I like him...just so many choices, my head is spinning.''

Zero: ''Well, that's just great. I probably have the lowest chances of them all.''

Diary:*It continues on the page* ''I think I've made up my mind on who I want to be with. I plan on telling them all who that is after the Dragon Fist Tournament, I think I'm falling for'' *It continues onto the next page*

Zero: *shaking with anticipation* Should I see who it is...?

(The Shower stopped)

Zero: !! ''Ming's shower is finished! ...... *shakes head* What am I doing? I'm completely violating the trust of the girl I care about! *looks at the journal, closes it, then puts it back* Ming will tell me when she's ready. Until then, I have to wait.''

Ming:*Enters a few mintues later with the outfit Zero picked out. She has her hair down.*

Zero: W-wow Ming, that's.... wow.

Ming:...That bad, huh?

Zero: N-no, it's.... wow.

Ming:Well....

Zero: *staring at Ming, trying to avoid looking at her breasts*

Ming:*Looks at Zero, confused* You okay...?

Zero: Y-y-yeah, it's j-just that...

Ming:What?

Zero: *sweating a little, blushes* Y-you l-look, um....

Ming: >=D I think I should wear my clock belt. *Ming reaches over Zero stand right in front of him as she "struggles" to get her belt*

Zero: *looks down, intending to see if Ming needs help, and ends up looking down her tube-top, wide-eyed and blushing furiously*

Ming:*Grabs the belt* Got it! *Looks at Zero, tauntingly* You okay, you look a little red.

Zero: *finally manages to tear his gaze away from her cleavage, still sweating sightly and blushing* Y-yeah, I-I'm f-f-fine. I-it's j-just t-that...

Ming:Yeeeesss....

Zero: Y-you look.... *gulps* incredibly sexy right now.

Ming:Only my gay guy friends and my girl friends can say that. You are a straight friend.Right?

Zero: W-well, I'm certainly straight.

Ming:So, we're not friends?

Zero: W-well, uhhh, t-that is...

Ming:*Tauntingly, joyfullly*I'm waiting

Zero: *catches on, then grins* Ming?

Ming:What, and why are you looking at me like that?!

Zero: I'm currently alone with a young, amazingly beautiful, incredibly sexy girl. *smiling warmly, jokingly* I suggest you stop teasing me before you make me lose control of myself.

Ming:*Smacks him not realizing he is joking* How dare you!

Zero: *rubs his cheek, looks at Ming, chuckles while smiling* Oh I get it, you can't take what you dish out.

Ming:Teasing and Perverted threats are two different things!

Zero: *still smiling* Oh, and she also doesn't get it when someone realizes she's teasing them, and turns it back on her.

Ming:I didn't think it was funny, there's a difference between teasing back, and going too far!

Zero: And tricking me into looking down your tube-top wasn't going too far?

Ming:Trick? Once I came into the room it was open season for you! I didn't make you look at anything.

Zero: Ming, there have been three or four moments when I could have taken advantage of you. If I really was a lecherous perv who only cared about your body, I would have used those chances.

Ming:*Still upset* can make my own decisions you don't decide what I do.

Zero: *sighs* Last night, after we fell into the river, and laid near the tree. Afterwards, when I carried you all the way back here to your home. Then, when I was alone with you here last night. And lastly, when you were in the shower just a while ago.

Ming:*Slightly less angry* Whatever, Zero.

Zero: At any one of those chances, I could have taken advantage of you. Since I never did... *leans down, then lightly grips her chin and brings her face around so they're eye-to-eye* ...what does that tell you?

Ming:*Still Angry*......

Zero: *looking her in the eye* Well?

Ming:*Still upset* Hmmmph!

Zero: *looks down (not at Mings body). Eyes widen, and he looks back up at Ming, smiling*

Ming:*Annoyed, still upset* What?!

Zero: *smiling mischeviously* Why are you laughing?

Ming:*Annoyed, angered, confused* What are you talking about?!

Zero: *smiling mischeviously, starts tickling Ming*

Ming:*Upset unmoving* I only have one ticklish spot, and I'm sure not telling you!

Zero: *still smiling* Hmph. *starts tickling her stomach*

Ming:*Slightly less upset*Not even close

Zero: *starts tickling Ming's armpits*

Ming:Nope

Zero: *tries tickling Ming's neck*

Ming:Negative...your getting colder actually.

Zero: *tickles Ming's hips*

Ming:*Shakes her head no*

Zero: *Hmm.... *looks down at Ming's bare feet, then back at Ming, smiling mischeviously* You asked for it! *grabs both of Ming's feet and holds her up by them, leaving her dangling in the air. He then starts tickling her feet*

Ming:*Muffled giggle, still angry* Put me down!

Zero: *keeps tickling her feet* Only under one of three conditions.

Ming:*More muffled giggles, still angry*Hmmmph!

Zero: A, you stop being angry, B, you wet yourself, or C, we're busted.

Ming:Well I won't stop being angry, I won't wet myself, and if were busted, I'll say you're a robber!

Zero: Then I'll keep tickling! *tickles her feet more*

Ming:*Bursts into laughter, and kicks Zero extremely hard in the face in an attempt to escape*

Zero: *grunts, getting a bloody lip from the kick. Smiles, and holds on to Ming* My my, cute little panda's got quite some strength. But it's just like I said before, I'm not letting go until you stop being angry! *holds on firmly and keeps tickling her feet*

Ming:*Growls angrily* Fine! Just put me down and I'll stop being angry!

Zero: *chuckles, and smiles warmly at Ming* Promise?

Ming:*Mutters threats and obsenities* Yeah, whatever...I promise

Zero: Okay. Oh and Ming, sorry about the joke; I didn't mean it in the least. But i do have to say, you look amazing.

Ming:*Shakes head from dizziness* .....It's okay....and thanks....

Zero: *puts Ming down on her feet* You okay, my Chun-Nan princess?

Ming:Aside from all the blood that rushed to my head and then just dropped back down giving me a major headache, yeah I'm good...

Zero: Sorry about that. *kisses Ming on the forehead* That help?

Ming:Not really, but thanks for trying....

Zero: No problem. So, do you have anything else you need to do to get ready?

Ming:Just my scrunchies *Gets up to get them*

Zero: Actually... *walks up to Ming*

Ming:Yeah....?

Zero: *puts his hand on her cheek, then runs it through her hair. Smiles warmly at her* I think you look great without them.

Ming:*Slight suspicions, slight intrest* You do huh?

Zero: *smiling* Yeah, I really do.

Ming:*Smiles* Fine just this once

Zero: Great. Hey, why don't you wear your hair down more often?

Ming:Eh, when you're as busy as much as I am you'd understand. Not enough time to fix it up right. Plus having my hair up has always been my thing, it keeps me cool and keeps me relaxed. Come to think of it, do you even do anything? I mean do you havea job?....you just waltz in like you were running from something. I mean what does anyone really know about you? I'm not even sure you know about you....

Zero: *shrugs* Well, that's what a first date is for, right? *jokingly* It's not like I've heard your life story either.

Ming:Book? More liek pamphlet, not much goes on with me....

Zero: *puts hand under her chin, and brings her eye-to-eye with him. Smiling* Then let's add another page to that "pamphlet", shall we?

Ming:*Jokingly*Slow your role lover boy, and maybe you could make a chapter...

Zero: *jokingly, growls playfully while leaning in a bit* Or maybe a whole novel?

Ming:Maybe, but it might not get published I know a few good writers out there....

Zero: *smiles* For now, I'd just be happy writing the book. I'll worry about publishing it when the time comes around.

Ming:*Shakes head* Man all this metaphorical talk is making by head spin, let's just get out of here bef-

Reidou:*Pounds on Ming's door* Ming I have a surprise for you....

Zero: *whispers* Crap! Exit stage left!

Ming:*Looks around frantically, whispering* No! Stay in here, don't leave this will be quick. Probably just my pay check. *Rushes him into her closet, whispering* Stay here... *Goes to the door and opens it* Yes mama... *Notices a young male panda standing next to her mother* .....Who's this mama?

Reidou:Oh this young man......his name is Feng...

Ming:Wow, you sure he's seen my picture before?

Feng:Of course, I couldn't resist such a beautiful piece of artwork such as yourself *Takes her gently by the hand and kisses it* M'lady

Zero: *snorts*

Reidou:Ming? Are you going somewhere....I've almost never seen you wear your hair down.

Ming:Uh....

Reidou:And you hate red and bla- ^ ^

Ming:What?

Reidou:Your father such a little rascal. He told you that Feng was coming here, and you got ready! Oh Ming I'm so glad your still trying even after the Match-Maker told you you had no chance ^ ^

Ming:Geez mom.....but actually I was going to go to the movies, alone. *Thinking* Oh no, I just lied *Her palms become very sweaty as she becomes nervous, near frantic* Uh....uh...

Reidou:*Notices Ming's actions* Kiyomorimizu Ming-Ming Panda of the Chi Clan, are you lying to me?

Ming:O...Okay it was for a romantic date, his na-

Reidou:Great! See how organized my daughter is, Feng? She already planned your first date...

Feng:She's far more than organized m'am

Zero: *whispering* Ming!!

Ming: One second mama *Closes door, whispers* What are we gonna do?

Zero: *whispers* Do you want to go out with that gold-digging kiss-up?

Ming:Actually it's the opposite he's rich, my mom believes I'll have a happier life if I'm a rich nobleman, she does this all the time....

Zero: Okay. Now do you want to go out with him or not?

Ming:What?.....No-no! I don't even know him.....!

Zero: Then it's simple: say that you aren't interested and must respectfully decline. It might not hurt to mention you previously made plans, and it would be dihonorable to flake.

Ming:That would be fine if she didn't already think that I was going out by myself!

Zero: Just say you're meeting up with someone before or after the movies then. You already admitted that it was actually a romantic date; date means two people.

Ming:Yeah, but she thinks that romantic date is between me and that Feng guy!

Zero: Well then correct her. Or would you prefer that I do it?

Ming:Uh....she doesn't even knwo you exist, and if she found out some guy she never met was in my room, we'd both be in trouble.....

Zero: Wel then, you'll have to be the one to correct her.

Ming:Not exactly ready to die yet....don't worry I'll coem up with something...

Zero: Well, okay. *grins* I really want to get to that writing we were talking about before.

Ming:Yeah, well my mom has a typewriter and she's typing away more of my life story than I even know about yet!

Zero: Well, let's worry about this page right now. If nothing else works, just tell her that you already planned a date with someone else, like I told you before.

Ming:That's just it telling her I was going on a date would make things way worse! I'm not even allowed to date unless I'm matched with a man my mother allows to "court me".

Zero: Well then here's an extreme idea: ditch them somehow!

Ming:Way ahead of you *Ming is hard at work drawing schematics for an escape route as well as a adding a baby monitor app to her iPod and connecting a potal transmitter to both her iPhone and her other phone.* Okay, me and you will escape through the air vent. If we follow the plans we should be able to find an exit. My father may be tending to the garden so an escape out of the window is too risky. I've connected my phone to the iPhone through an audio transmitter. I can call my iPhone with this phone, and tell my mother I'm sick. Therefore I'll be able to respond directly to her questions. I'll add a decoy under the pillows. We should be able to enjoy ourselves!

Zero: Beauty, brains, and plenty of brawn. *growls playfully*

Ming:*Placing pillows under her bed to match her figure. Shhe places the iPod there as well* Alright c'mon!

Zero: You still gotta ditch your mom and the blind date. *looks at the pillows* And Ming?

Ming:I have that covered, I'll here my mom when if she comes to the door, and I'll respond through my phone. *About to climb through the air vent* Now what else were you going to say?

Zero: *looks at Ming, giving her a quick once-over, then smiles at her* You really don't give yourself enough credit.

Ming:*Smiles slightly and rolls eyes as she climbs into the vent* C'mon!

Zero: *chuckles* Ming, I wasn't just complimenting you; your mom might notice the difference.

Ming:*Head pops out of the vent* Think so?

Zero: Yeah. *steps out of closet* Want me to fix it?

Ming:Sure

Zero: Then get down here so I have a reference.

Ming:*Gets out of the vent* Make it quick!

Zero: *takes a pillow or so out of the waist to make it more defined, adds a small pillow to the chest and rear, and adds a pillow or two to the legs*

Ming:*As he puts the pillows in place, she looks at her own body specific to what he is adding*...done?

Zero: *after fiddling with the pillows to make sure they're all in the right place* Done.

Ming:Okay, let's go *Climbs back into the vent*

Zero: Okay, okay. *follows Ming*

Ming:*Crawls through the air-vent* Okay we just have to keep going straight, and then we can get out from the back of the house. We can run into the forest and cut around there.

Zero: *chuckles* Not the first time you've done this?

Ming:It's hard for twelve year olds to stay inside, even when they're sick.

Zero: So the princess has a dark side?

Ming:Yeah...yeah *Her phone comes on*

Reidou (In House):Ming, are you almost ready?!

Ming: *Freezes*

Zero: *whispers* Time to put your plan to good use.

Ming:*Fake Cough* M-mom, I'm not feeling very well *Fake moan of pain*

Reidou (In House):Oh you poor thing, let me come in...

Ming:No! I mean...n-no please, I don't want *sneeze and cough* you to get sick!

Zero: Oh, she's good.

Reidou (IH):Would you like some soup sweetheart?

Ming:No thanks mom, I think I need some rest.

Zero: *waits*

Reidou (IH): Okay honey, get well soon. I'll tell Feng to come back tomorrow.

Ming:*Coughs* Thank you...

Zero: Oh, you're good.

Ming:*Hangs up phone* I try, now c'mon *Continues forward*

Zero: *follows, trying to avoid eyeing Ming's butt as she moves*

Ming:Were almost there *Turns* How you holding up?

Zero: Oh, uh, just fine.

Ming:Alright, here we are *Kicks open the vent and jumps outside into the backyard.* ^^

Zero: *jumps out, landing behind Ming. The recoil causes him to lean foward, putting his face right behind Ming's butt*

Ming:You oka---*Turns around* T_T

Zero: *blushes deeply, and abruptly gets up* Um, I'm just fine. *nervously chuckles*

Ming:*Rolls eyes* Seriously, Zero?

Zero: What?

Ming:Just forget it, and keep up! *Storms off into the forest*

Zero: Ming! What's wrong? *chases after her*

Ming:*She continues to walk quickly through the forest, and eventually turns in the direction of the city as she continues walking on*

Zero: Ming?

Ming:*Ming continues on, quite a distance from Zero*

Zero: Ming, that was a simple accident! Ming! *grabs Ming's wrist*

Ming:*Smacks his hand away and turns around fiercely* Listen, I feel that their is sexual tension that you think you need to release. Let me assure you, that I am not that type of girl. I'm not the flashy pretty girl that loves romance and sex. I'm a common girl that would kick your *** just for looking at me the wrong way. I'm not out for a complicated romance that everyone thinks is acceptable these days. You know they weren't lying when they said it's a man's world, but I'll be damned if I allow myself to be pressured into something just to keep some guy around. I'm not into kissing passionately or going out to fancy restaurants. I don't like to fight and then make up all the time, and I certainly don't like feeling that I need to please some man because I feel that I need him in my life. So you get one thing straight, I am an independent woman who can and will take care of herself. I'm not some gullible teenage girl who is swooned by an outfit and fake flowers. If you can't accept that then just tell me now to save me the trouble of wasting my time!

Zero: *stares at her wide-eyed for a while, before chuckling a little bit* Wow...

Ming:*Looks at him and pushes him on the ground with extreme force* I'm going home!

Zero: *gets up, trying to catch his breath from the push* "Wow" as in "wow, I think I've fallen for you even harder".

Ming:*Rolls eyes* What?

Zero: *walks up to Ming, puts a hand on her head, and leans down so he's eye-to-eye with her* A gentleman should always try to protect and defend the girl he cares about, but I know I don't want a girl who comes running to me if her nail's broken, nor do I care for a girl who can't stand up for herself against even a gust of wind. And who'd want a slut that uses her body to get guys? Just imagine the type of stuff she could be carrying around. The type of girl who doesn't have her nose 7-feet in the air and is willing to get down-n-dirty, *leans closer so their noses are almost touching* is exactly the type of girl that catches me hook, line, and sinker.

Talkplay: Kairu VS Zero
Kairu: ...I WANNA FIGHT HIM!

Zero: Oh yeah?

Kairu: Yeah! Gonna give this my all! (gathers a ball of shadows in his hand)

Zero: No thanks, little man.

Kairu: Chicken.

Zero: *backhands Kairu, swatting him into a wall* Worthless bat.

Kairu: (jumps onto the wall, and rebounds off of it, slamming into Zero)

Zero: *not even fazed* I repeat: little man.

Kairu: Oh really? How little am I NOW? (all the shadows in the room swirl and gather around Kairu, forming him into a 15-foot-tall replica of Zero)

Zero: Hmph. *grabs Kairu's leg, swings him over-head, then slams him face-down into the ground*

Kairu: Ow. No, I won't give up! HIYAAAAAA! (Zero's shadow wraps around him, cocooning him and making him unable to break out)

Zero: *muffled* Whimp.

Kairu: Mah sepecial MOOOOOOVE! See, you either surrender, or I squeeze you and make you go pop. Whatzit gonna beeeeeeee?

Zero: You're too scared to face me mano a mano.

Kairu: This is mano a mano. I'm just using the available tools to fight with.

Zero: Mano a Mano means "Hand-to-Hand". You're using shadows to do the fighting for you; in my book, that makes you weak.

Kairu: (all the shadows vanish) Shadows and machines are all I can fight with... I AM weak...

Zero: At least have the guts to fight.

Kairu: I can't even throw a punch properly... the only time I can fight is when I go Raging... and it's not like I want to, or even CAN, on demand...

Zero: So what, are you giving up?

Kairu: Well, what else can I do? I can (ticks off abilities on fingers) control shadows, control technology, use Sonic Scream, read minds, and fly. Last time I checked, none of those can throw a punch.

Zero: Then learn to fight.

Kairu: Who's gonna teach me?

Zero: Who says you can't learn on your own?

Odd Coincidence ^^;
What an odd Coincidence Zero the Liger, you actually inspired me to ask this but I have a Character named "Cero the Black Tiguar" would you maybe want to roleplay with them meeting in a Sonic Adventure 2 type situation you know like Shadow and Sonic you know with the whole faker vs faker type rivalry(granted they are different felid hybrids lol) It's only Odd because Cero is the spanish word for Zero. Let me know if you are up fer it lol other ppl are welcome if you want lol. |1 Pantera Hybrids references--Yumejin 02:41, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Holy crap. One of my characters actually inspired the creation of another character? Wow 0.0--Kagi mizu -Seeya 'round ~ 02:43, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Not exactly lol he has been on the page however you inspired me to make an RP that i can be active in from start to finish if you are willing....Cero has been here fer about 2-3 weeks I wasn't aware if Zero was or not but when i saw it i was like I wanna Somehow draw a link to Cero with this odd coincidence lol.Yumejin 02:51, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, that is a huge concidence XD Especially since they're both tiger hybrids.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round ~ 02:55, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Also similar names lol Cero is the name Zero in Spanish but yea wanna RP? I'll even draw your character for you if are willing.Yumejin 03:00, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

I know what Cero means. And I honestly had no idea Cero existed before Zero, or that he was a Tiguar. And yeah, maybe we could do that RP someday. As for the pic, I'll decline for now.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round ~ 03:03, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Oh it's cool I an't pissed at all in fact it's quite a pleasing coincidence since i've been inactive in this site lol I feel detached with the recent events of late...Yumejin 03:06, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Well, it is a funny coincidence.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round ~ 03:09, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

Indeed feel free to read Cero's Page to get a better idea about him...|1 Cero The Black Tiguar Page--Yumejin 03:24, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

YAY, EVERYONE'S TALKING ABOUT KITTIES! I luv cats. Sorry for interruoption.Lonely? talk to the character Matchmaker 03:28, May 11, 2010 (UTC)

This reminds me of Napoleon Dynamite. ^^

I Am Extremely Stupid So please forgive me of my stupidness. 21:59, May 14, 2010 (UTC)

Just a Thought
What if Zero and Akemi the Lion were half brothers, but they hated each other? It would probably be a funny conflict.--Famotill 10:47, May 21, 2010 (UTC)Famotill

Ehhhhh, I don't think so.--<font color="#0000FF">Kagi <font color="#FF0000">mizu -<font color="#008000">Seeya <font color="#FFA500">'round ~ 14:08, May 21, 2010 (UTC)
