Al nodded. "I'll try not to." <br /> <br /> Envy folded his arms once again. "How are we al going to our next destination, may I ask, ava?"

Chandra flipped Al the bird. "Copyright this, b*tch."<br /> Ava facepalmed. "F*ck, I don't care where we go. Just... can we not snipe at each other the whole way?"

Al looked at Chandra and laughed. "Oh look, another character who isn't copyrighted and really important in my life. Can we go now?"<br /> <br /> Pein shrugged. "Where exactly will we be going?"<br /> <br /> Undertaker raised a finger. "I suggest that we go to whereever Ava wants to go. She is out guest, isn't she?"

"Super what? No, no, I'm just crazy." Ava spurred Sprinkles and he blasted off skyward, blowing past several dementors as though they were wisps of cloud. "Plus, I have a flaming unicorn. Flaming unicorns are bad@$$."<br /> They landed with a somewhat musical clatter next to Chandra, who turned and fixed them with a look of eminent disdain.<br /> "Oh look," she sneered. "You brought another coward."

Pein placed his hands in his skinny jeans with slight difficulty, and faced the castle. "Did they go inside?"<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Al nodded. "Get me out, pleaseeeee. Unlike you, I can't go all super saiyan and become strong. So I'm at a complete lost."

Chandra approached slowly and grasped his hand, clearly making an effort to be polite. "Chandra Bissonet." She looked Pein up and down and gave a sharp smile. "I'm not sure knowing what goes on in their minds is good for your health." Then she cocked her head to one side and listened for a moment before sighing. "My creator is being cowardly again."<br /> <br /> Ava, not only a coward but also a hypocrite, sneered at Al. "Dementors. You forget I have the ability to turn into a pretty talented witch." She looked around at the dark forest and suppressed a thrill of fear. "But I guess if you want to leave, we can go track down Chandra and see if she's killed Undertaker yet."

Pein narrowed his eyes and crossed his arms. "It's not complaining. It's more of trying to figure out what the hell is going on in their minds sometimes. And as for me, the name is Pein. Nice to meet you." He extended his hand out to the woman.<br /> <br /> Al screamed and scrambled onto Sergaent Sprinkle's back. "Get me out of here!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!<br /> I saw a dementor back there after I was looking through some things and I wanna leave! "

Chandra gave the sliced hat a smug look. "You can probably get Ava to fix that for you," she said. "All you've got to do is guilt her about it." Then she turned to Envy and Pein, keeping her distance from them and moving warily. "I know you, Envy," she said with a little lip-curl of distaste. "And I know Undertaker." She shot a half-smile at the ex-shinigami. "But I don't spend a lot of time in your world." She narrowed pale, calculating eyes at Pein. "Who are you again, and why do you complain so much?"<br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Sergeant Sprinkles thundered over the landscape, setting bushes ablaze and trailing rainbows behind him. Ava's hare ears streamed behind her and kept catching low-hanging branches, causing her to swear fluently and lean lower over the flaming unicorn's neck.<br /> Finally, she heard the mantra of 'ohcrapohcrapohcrap' get closer, and with one final burst of speed, Sprinkles leapt out in front of Al and pulled up into a dramatic, glitter-studded rear, Ava cackling merrily on his back.<br /> As Sprinkles settled back onto all fours, Ava recovered and fixed an evil look on Al. "Boo."

Undertaker's scythe dematerialized and he put his sliced hat back on. "I guess so."<br /> <br /> <br /> Meanwhile, Al heard Ava manical laughter behind her. "Oh crap! Oh crap! Oh crap!"

Chandra slowly stood up from her defensive crouch, keeping a wary eye on Undertaker as she sized up Envy and Pein. "I hope that's a compliment," she said. "I'm not exactly a resident, though."<br /> She then sheathed her blades and lifted her chin at Undertaker in a careful salute. "Are we not killing each other now?"<br /> <br /> Ava giggled maniacally and spurred Sergeant Sprinkles on faster. She could hear Panicked Al ahead, and she was closing in.<br />
