[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.]

This Meryl -- friend of yours, Vash-lad?

Yeah, she was a friend from my world who traveled around some with me.

[...this day just keeps getting better and better. She sounds tired when she responds, but this is important.]

Wanna drink on it?

[And Milly's standing at the door to Meryl's empty room, uncharacteristically quiet, holding a pile of Meryl's freshly laundered clothes, neatly folded, ready to be put away into her dresser.]

[Disbelief is one word for the look on her face. Pale and slightly green is another.]

[He had heard that commotion over the journal earlier. He can guess why you're sounding a bit tired right now.]

Thanks, but I'm alright. From what I've heard you've had a pretty busy morning yourself.

I'm sorry, Milly... but, we know she's safe back home. So she won't be experimented on here anymore.

[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.

Meryl...!?

[This... this has to be one of the worst nightmares he could imagine. Hell, he's had nightmares about his friends being sent home like this before. So before he responds any further, he pinches himself. Hard. And stretches his rubber skin in all sorts of different directions.

It's not a dream...

Damn. Damn. First Flynn and now....]

No...

NO!!!

[And then, in a fit of anger he's going to throw his journal at the wall. Only to run back over to it and pick it up again because screw that. He's not letting it end there.]

ARE YOU SURE!? DID YOU DOUBLE CHECK!? HOW DO YOU KNOW IT WASN'T A KIDNAPPING!?

[And this is when he clinches his eyes as tightly as possible. Trying to stop the tears from running down his face.]

She's-- she's been here longer than I have! There's no way she just... just vanished like that!!! [Especially not without saying goodbye...]

I'm sorry, Luffy. I know you two were close, but all her stuff is gone.

[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?

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?

Sorry to hear that, mate. Friends are rare things, eh? You alright?

Sometimes too rare sadly, but I'm alright. When we parted ways at home she was in a very nice and safe town. So I know she's alright, and now she's away from the Malnosso's experiments too.

[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.]

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!]

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.]

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

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

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.

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

[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!

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