[Vash felt pretty crummy this morning when he woke up and realized he had once again fallen in love with another girl. Every year! How does he fall for it every year!? Oh man, he just knows Meryl is going to yell at him big time for this. Maybe he should just get it all out of the way, but man, she's sleeping in really late today.

He taps gently on her room door and peeks his head in.] Meryl? Are you up? Listen I- [Empty. Her room is completely empty. It couldn't really be empty could it? After spending almost a week in love and kissing the wrong person, she couldn't really be gone. Could she?

But the room is still empty. Quietly he'll find the Milly, Wolfwood, and Amelia if they're home to let them know before making a voice announcement.]

[Voice]

For anyone that knew her, I'm sorry. Meryl was sent back home. It's alright, she was in a very safe place there.

[Vash will be visiting Good Spirits shortly after. Wanting to let the workers there know of her return home in case they missed his message. Anyone who wants to find Vash can find him there, at the flower shop, or at home, but not the bakery today.]

[Very calmly, Milly's just going to step into Meryl's empty room and put her clean clothes on her bed, laying the pile down carefully so they don't wrinkle. Then she turns to Vash, and without saying another word, she will be hugging you.]

[It's not completely unexpected. He hugs his friend back, speaking softly.] I'm sorry, Milly, but it will be alright.

[action]

[stungunning]

[She's going to keep hugging. And her voice sounds a little wobbly.]

I know, I know it will but-

Oh Mr. Vash, what are we going to do?

[action]

[goldenglasses]

I'm afraid there's not much we can do. We can't bring her back, so about the only thing we can do is to keep living. I don't think she'd want us to stop just because she went home.

Heh, she'd probably call us lazy if we did that. Wouldn't she?

[action]

[stungunning]

[Milly nods against his shoulder and then takes a step back.]

You're right, she probably would, but Mr. Vash, she'd understand if we were sad.

[She looks very, very pale all of a sudden and takes a deep breath.]

[action]

[goldenglasses]

I know, I think she'd be mad too if we didn't miss her at all... Milly? Are you alright? Do you need to sit down? [You're taking this a lot worse than he thought!]

[stungunning]

No, I'm alright I just-

[No. Not alright. Not alright at all. She brings a hand up to her mouth and runs out to the bathroom.]

[action]

[stungunning]

[And she's back a little while later, looking decidedly green around the gills and not better at all.]

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Are you still sick Milly? You should sit down! I'll take care of the rest of the laundry!

[action]

[stungunning]

No I'm really fine, please don't worry about me. I just feel a little bit queasy this morning, it must be the shock. I'll be alright.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Maybe you should sit down for a little while anyway. I'd hate for you to get sick again.

[stungunning]

[And now she fixes Vash with her best optimistic grin.]

Oh I'm fit as a fiddle! I finished all my cold medicine and I'm just fine, I haven't had so much as a sniffle in days!

[action]

[stungunning]

[.....okay maybe not quite as fit as a fiddle.]

[action]

[stungunning]

[And off to the bathroom she runs again.]

[...then back she comes, looking clammy and awful.]

On second thoughts, maybe I should sit down.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Y-yeah, go ahead and sit down. Would you like... some soup or something?

[action]

[stungunning]

[Oh no not food! Watch Milly go green again and manfully sober herself up.]

I don't think food would be a very good idea right now.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Alright! Just - go lay down! I'll bring you in a bucket or something just in case.

[action]

[stungunning]

I'm sorry Mr. Vash. I'll go and drink some ginger ale, that should help.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

Alright, just take it easy, I'll be in, in a bit.

[action]

[stungunning]

I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry.

[action]

[goldenglasses]

It's alright, Milly. Don't give it another thought. Just get some rest.
