after this 3

It's morning. I'm lying in the arms of Exile. The alarm clock rings.
Me: Good morning, Dad.
Exile (opening his eyes and looking at me affectionately): Good morning, sunshine. Did you sleep well?
Me: Better than ever. (looking at my watch) Oh, new challange.
Exile (taking the watch and handing it back to me): Here you go.
Me: Thank you. (looking at the assignment): Oops...
Exile: What's wrong, my little one?
Me: Dad, look at this. Here are all the ones we sent home... (sighs sadly) Here's Knuckles, and here's J... Jack. And there's sneaky Jake... Oh, I don't think I should go with you.
Exile: Why not? Shiro, Legoshi, and Lucario want me to take you with me.
Me: I'm going to cry when I see the icy heads of Jack, Kouya, Haida, Seth. There's even Gaomon's head in there... (falling down beside Exile) Dad, I'm not going. I blame myself for losing Kouya, Jack, Seth. I didn't even save Klonoa, even though I promised...
Exile (hugging me and pressing my head against his chest): Don't be silly. You won't save us all... Sooner or later, I will be sent home.
Me: Really?
Exile: Yes. But don't blame yourself. Legoshi loves you like he loves Jack, and he won't let you engage in self-injury and talk about your selfishness. You are not selfish. And neither will Shirou. Look how much he adores you. Even willing to fill in for me in case I leave. Not to mention Lucario...
Me: But, you know...
Exile: Herman, not all of our dreams come true. Remember that once and for all. Jack left 12, but that didn't break Legoshi, it made him stronger. Look how handsome he is now. And Lucario? Do you think he's mad at you? No. He's willing to stay by your bedside for as long as it takes...
Me: Fine, I'll go, but on the condition that you don't use the laser.
Exile: And how am I supposed to work the blocks?
Me: With your hands. Dad, your eyes are your weapon, I know. But if you're afraid to break the blocks...
Exile: A little bit afraid.
Me: Okay, we'll figure it out on the spot. Now it's time to get up. Legoshi's probably got food ready for us by now.

seems the reflection hitting hard

he well buddy :D

I'm excited to see the surviving contestants reflect on their thoughts on the previous members. This should be a fun watch.

indeed :D

Aww what a good tribute for the past challengers, let's hope Legoshi stays strong when he's doing his best friend statue, and still I will support Shirou until the end! >3<

indeed. emotions well show

Vote today or tomorrow????

Probably tomorrow, bud.

This whole series has been going pretty fast though. Feels like the final ten was yesterday...

Yea, hehe i gotten less charaters to work with so it helps speed the process up -hugs-

Tomorrow

Wow, it's all our Mighty Dog Trio. Oh, or rather, it's now the Mighty Dog Quartet. Well done, all of you, giving it your all during the project. But now they will be given the hardest test, both physically (try to work with such blocks) and mentally, especially for Legoshi. I don't think he will be able to hold back the tears as he makes Jack's head for the totem. He still, I'm sure, couldn't quite get over the memories of the cute doggie... I'm sorry Jack didn't make it to the finale, he left at the beginning, but there's no fixing that. I can only guess what he would have been like if Gaomon had gone home for a second time straight in the twelfth rather than after the fifteenth challenge. Still, I'm proud of them all. No matter who we have to send home with a heartache, they have all behaved with dignity, all standing up for each other. Blizzard, I'm glad you've decided to commemorate the eliminated from the competition. And I hope the boys don't cry with pain in their hearts, because men don't cry. Good luck to all of you guys. We all love you, appreciate you, respect you. You are our heroes. -kissing each one in turn-
