Warning: Spoiler ahead. Also, This was done based on the following endings: Claude-Precis, Ashton- Rena, and Chisato-Leon.

"Ashton tries again"

"Ashton!" Rena called out, "Are you going to eat now or what?" Ashton was fighting the local monsters again. The monster population was dwindling. "(sigh!) Coming, Rena!" Ashton barely had to expend any effort during these fights, but he liked to pretend that they left him drained. "Why on Expel do you fight those monsters so much if you are all tired up?" Rena was clearly puzzled as to why her fiance kept fighting the monsters. "Because it's my job! I am the monster hunter of Arlia Village!" Ashton was bragging again. He limped into Rena's house. (He loved the food. Besides, Westa insisted on it.) As Westa finished cooking, she noticed that the dragons were leering at her posterior, again. Westa did not like it when they did that. It made her uncomfortable... But, she was proud of her future son-in-law. So it mostly evened out. After dinner, Ashton made a decision.

At Rena's house during breakfast (Westa insisted on this as well)

"I'm going to look for new ways and safer ways to seperate the dragons from me!" Ashton spoke with his mouth full. Again. Rena and Westa got sprayed with egg. "STOP THAT!" Rena was more angry with Ashton speaking with his mouth full than getting sprayed with egg. (Westa wondered what that meant. Maybe....Ewww! Gross! Not my Rena!....Definitely not.) Westa cleaned up the mess without complaining. (A while without those dragons, great!) Rena, on the other hand, did not want her future husband to leave. However, Gyoro and Ururun were wreaking havoc on her Mother's nervous system. She knew that this was for the better. "Be careful, Ashton!" Rena was worried. She had that feeling that something was going to happen. Something bad. Or was that last night's Golden Stew? She dismissed it, whatever it was. "I think I'll stop in Linga this time. Mars only had destructive exorcisms." Ashton had swallowed this time.

Later that afternoon-

"Well? You two better explain yourselves!" Ashton knew that Gyoro and Ururun had done something to warrant the relieved look on Westa's face. He just didn't know what. Ashton noticed that Gyoro was playing innocent. He knew what that meant. "You pulled something, didn't you?!?" "So, spill it!" Ashton only looked shocked. Then he fainted. They took control of Ashton's body and manipulated it all the way to Herlie.

Later-

Gyoro heard voices. Familiar voices. Gyoro and Ururun heard those voices arguing. "Well, well, well. If it ain't Claude and Precis, I'll eat my cape!" Ururun spoke through Ashton's voice box. "Hey, hey, hey, hey! It's either Gyoro or Ururun! Did Ashton faint again?" Precis was hyperactive, as usual. Claude was not too far behind. "How did you know? We thought we got dat impersonation down pat!" Claude,however, was not guessing. He knew. "Ashton has not flubbed a word. Ever." After filing this down for future reference, Ururun resonded. "You two are no fun! Can't we ever fool you?" Precis got impatient, again. "Let's Go! Come on! Move It or lose it!" Claude remained calm. "W have to go. Give our regards to Ashton when he comes to!" Gyoro and Ururun felt Ashton's mind awaken. Both dragons wanted to be on good terms with Ashton again. The trip to Hilton was uneventful. The trip to Lacour was, too. Ashton stopped in Lacour for supplies. There was a soldier in the square issuing an announcement. Ashton shopped and did not hear the speech until he heard his name followed by the words, "Wanted for theft of the royal treasury. If found, call for the King's soldiers! Do not fight him! He is dangerous!" Ashton fainted, again. Both dragons took over and tried to sneak out. Ashton was caught and bound in chains. His swords were taken away and he was taken to the King. "Ashton Anchors! You are charged with grand theft! How do you plead?" The dragons responded, "INNOCENT!" The King got really angry and yelled out, "LIAR! We have a witness to your heinous crime! One Ms. Kisaragi! She said that she saw you skulk around the treasury entrance! TAKE HIM AWAY!"

4 hours later-

Ashton had woken up and got the story from the dragons. He was again taken before the King. "Ashton, I have been hasty. But, I can't deny what has happened. One of my scientists has spoken on your behalf. I shall give you two months to clear your name. Go and find the thief and/or the money. If you can bring me either one, I shall clear your name. Now, go." Ashton was happy and apprehensive when he heard that. (We might as well get started. Let's go find that Kisaragi woman.) On the way out, Ashton heard a familiar voice calling his name.....

To be continued in "Leon's Travels", if I get a good review.
