“OMG, SQUIRREL!” Dean ﻿ shrieked dashing after the critter. In his recklessness, he swung his stick around, nearly hitting Nine.
“Dean!” Nine scolded. “Watch were you’re going!”
﻿Suddenly, Dean's cell phone went off like this:
“﻿Do you like waffles?” 
“﻿Yeah, we like waffles!” 
“﻿Do you like pancakes?” 
“﻿Yeah, we like pancakes!”
“﻿Hellooooooo?” Dean ﻿sang when he picked up.
“﻿Oh, hey, Shirley! Nothin' much, me 'n Nine are just gonna go fight Ritsu and Takashi now. Orly? You and Megumi are gonna be cheerleaders?! That's fantastical! Mkay, we'll see you there~” closing the phone, he skipped over to Nine.
“Guess what?! Shirley and Megu--”
“I heard,” Nine cut him off. “Let's just get on with it, shall we?”
They continued along in The Lunaria Base, defeating a few Reorx and Zeredes here and there, but it was mostly Nine that did the work. Dean chickened out, so they all went back to the Lightning Squad Headquarters.
