I'm back with some more fluff. I don't think I ever get tired of Spenser/Solana. Ever. It's should be a diagnosed disease.

Also, for those of you reading No One Said It Would Be Easy, there may be an update in store soon (over a year in the making, which is slightly ridiculous). Sweet but Psycho reminded me that I should not give up and I've been working through my issues with that story (go read her story about the Go Rock Quads (called Melody of Ambition), by the way; it's awesome!)

Anyway, enjoy the fluff. I had fun with it. I also added in voice messages to my ensemble of crap I use to make up this story, so… Although it's not technically written, just overlook it. I'll give out cookies if you do. :)

Wintown Ranger Base- Mission #291478

Ranger(s) on Mission: Alyssa Hitomi

Mission Date: April 14th, 2011

Location of Mission: Ringtown

Assigned Mission By: Solana Hinata, Leader of Wintown

Mission Description: I was to go to Ringtown Ranger Base to fix the computer there. Apparently it freezes up a lot. I was taught how to do it by Solana Hinata, who refuses to pass on the instructions to fix it to Spenser Hayate because she would like to be difficult. She said to tell Spenser that she wants him to admit that he misses her and then she'll tell him. Apparently, she still wants him to be dependent on her. That's her reasoning, at least.

Mission Status: Success

Detailed Analysis: The computer job went along with minimal hitches. I only had to hide exactly what I was doing from Spenser and Lunick by telling them I wouldn't do it if they didn't leave the room. It was revealed that Melody knows how to fix it (her brother's a mechanical genius, for Arceus's sake), but she'll go along with the plan. She enjoys seeing the guys squirm anyway and they haven't once thought to ask her to do it because she plays innocent. That's my best friend for you.

Solana assigned me this mission to broaden my horizons and send me to new places. Seeing as I was just assigned to this base about a month ago, I haven't been to a lot of places in Fiore. She also promises to send me to Summerland and Fall City sometimes soon.

She also just wanted to mess with Spenser and couldn't get anyone else to go along with her plan.

Further analysis on my part revealed the true purpose for this mission: She and Spenser are in love. Yup. There. I said it. WHY WON'T THEY? Oh, well. Despite the fact that I'm wooing Spenser for Solana so they can get married and have babies, it's still a lot of fun, so I'm not complaining. Mission complete!


Wintown Ranger Base- Mission #291478

Ranger Feedback: ALYSSA! This is not your formal write-up. Do it again. And please omit the getting married and having babies part. This is not appropriate for a fourteen-year-old to be talking about! And I am doing this to mess with Spenser, but only to accomplish a single goal of getting him to admit that Ringtown's not the same and he misses me. And that's only because he's so stubborn about that kind of stuff! It's just a game. NOT BECAUSE I'M IN LOVE WITH HIM!

Extra Notes: Grrrr… I feel much better now.

Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 6:54 pm

So I had a good day.


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 6:59 pm

Really? I feel like there's more to this story.


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:03 pm

Yeah, I had a great day. I particularly liked the part where YOU BLACKMAILED ME.


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:08 pm

You know the terms, tough guy. If you would just admit it, everything would be hunky-dorky.


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:11 pm

Hey. A confession means nothing if it's forced, ya know what I mean?


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:17 pm

Woah, Spense, I never said anything about a confession. Just an acknowledgement that I'm important. Got something on your mind?


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:21 pm

You wish. Just the way you're treating it is makes me feel like I'm confessing something ridiculous.


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:25 pm

Okay, Spense. If you're sure.


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:30 pm

Grrrr… You and that condescending tone of yours.


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:33 pm

It's a styler message. How would you know if I'm being condescending?


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:37 pm

You just… are.


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:40 pm

Okay. Cool. Bye.


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:43 pm

Pumpkin head...


Styler Message: Solana Hinata to Spenser Hayate

April 14th 7:46 pm

You have the strangest insults.


Styler Message: Spenser Hayate to Solana Hinata

April 14th 7:48 pm

I know.


Wintown to Ringtown

April 15th, 2011

Dear Leader,

There. Is that greeting more appropriate? No, you say? Too formal? Okay, I'll start over.

Dear Cuddles,

Sorry, I didn't get it right this time either. This makes you sound like a teddy bear.

Dear Butthead,

Nope, too mean. Okay, then I'll just have to go with this:

Dear controlling, you-need-a-haircut, I-can-do-everything-even-though-I'm-only-human idealist freak,

Okay, that's much better.

I resent your lack of enthusiasm for my goals for this year. Out of six, you really only approved of two of them. I'd say that's pretty harsh. And don't tell me to just think up of better goals 'cause I might just punch you in the face.

Life at Wintown is going good. Today, Silent Chris and Freddie introduced me to the concept of ice skating during what I call one of our "team bonding sessions". We had all had a hard day of missions (yes, things actually happen in this frigid ice land) and I wanted us all to relax a bit. I mean, sure, I've heard of ice skating before, but I've never actually done it. They're both pros at it while Alyssa and I fell on our faces quite a few times (me more than Alyssa, I'll admit). Between that and the local bowling alley, we've pretty much got all our bases covered as far as entertainment, you know what I'm saying?

And don't say I got the idea of team bonding sessions from you too. We did about two of those and they were stupid "let's sit in a circle and say nice things about each other". When you let it slip out that you thought I was pretty awesome. Remember, huh, huh?

I feel like the entire purpose of this letter so far was to reminisce. Wow. I've gotten a lot done.

Anyway, tell Mel that Alyssa says hi. And… also something about… watermelons, I think? I don't know. I'll get back to you on that one. I don't really understand those two. Also, give Lunick a hug for me. Seriously, I'm not kidding. Give him a hug. Or I'll ask Elita to tell me all your embarrassing secrets from when you guys dated. That could be bad… And if you see Murph around the base sometime soon, tell him that he should swing by Wintown. Alyssa desperately wants to hear his theme song (although Freddie begged and pleaded for me to deny her because he doesn't want his ears to go through that; I thought the song was particularly charming, but what do I know?).

See ya soon!

Your ex-ranger,

Solana

P.S. And yes, the secret to the Ringtown computer is still being held hostage by me. Don't try to figure it out. It. Won't. Work.

P.P.S. PAPERWORK SUCKS! Seriously. You should see my letters to Joel and Cameron. That's more or less all I talk about. So I thought that I would complain here as well.


Solana Hinata has 2 unheard messages. First unheard message:

Sunday, April 17th, 2:23 pm

Hey, 'Lana, it's Lunick. I just wanted to check in with you and see how everything's going in Wintown. From what I've heard from Spenser, you seem to be fitting right in. Actually, speaking of Spenser, the weirdest thing happened today. You wouldn't happen to know why he gave me a hug… would you? I feel like you probably do, actually. Anyway, give me a call when you get the chance. I'm sure you're off doing some important leader work… Well, I hope so. Actually, I rather doubt it, but I hope you're having fun with whatever it you're doing. Miss ya!

Message saved. Next message:

Sunday, April 17th, 3:14 pm

Solana, it's Joel. Not sure why you don't have your styler on you… But I hope it doesn't involve Spenser. Sorry, I couldn't resist. Anyway, I could have just written this in my letter back to you, but Cam and I have agreed that a "Paperwork Free Day" is necessary. Yes, even the Joel who Spenser claims will never take a vacation is affected by the horrors of paperwork occasionally. Anyway, call me back so we set this date. Cam insists that we leaders should have a brief get-together to commemorate such an occasion, but I don't know… That's too close to a vacation for me. So… Yeah. That's about it. Tell Spense to jump off a cliff for me and try not to torment him too much before then. See ya!

Message saved. No more unheard messages.


Solana's Journal (Not Diary)

April 17th, 2011,

I've decided a few things:

1) I'm seriously enjoying this whole computer thing.

2) I also really enjoy going on walks without my styler every once in a while. I leave Chris in charge and no one bothers me for about an hour and it's great. Even when it results in many voice mails (two is many for me).

3) I'm seriously craving ice cream right now and am going to go get some as soon as I finish making this list.

4) I hate paperwork.

5) I despise Joel's many comments on the state of the nonexistent relationship between Spenser and me.

6) I will make Spenser admit that he's depressed without me.

7) I'm going to get ice cream now.

Case closed.
