The Bestest of Friends

Vania looks around the ship for Malinda and finds her dragon friend happily gobbling up the fried rice that Yaia made. Vania decides to make fried rice for Malinda too, but is disappointed when Malinda doesn't eat as much as she had hoped. Angry, Vania storms out of the room.



One sunny day.
When Malinda fails to come back to their room at lunchtime, Vania wanders around the ship to look for her pink companion.
Vania: Malinda, where are you? It's time for lunch!
Vania: Hmm... Where could she have gone?
  1. What's the matter?


Choose: What's the matter?

Vania: Oh, Bloodkin! Have you seen Malinda? She's not in our room...
Lyria: Malinda? I saw her at the dining hall earlier.
Vania: What! I can't believe she went without me.
Vania: Thanks, Lyria!
Vania thanks the two and rushes off to the dining hall.
Yaia: Here you go! I present... Yaia's special fried rice made just for Malinda!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoooo!
Yaia: Eat up! There's plenty!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
With Yaia's consent, Malinda digs into the fried rice without a second thought.
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyoo, gyoo!
Yaia: Look at you! You don't have to eat so fast. It's all for you!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo gyoooo!
Vania's Voice: There you are, Malinda!
Yaia: Vania?
Vania: Geez! You weren't in our room, so I was looking everywhere for you!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: Ngh... Malinda! Are you listening?
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
None of Vania's words seem to make it to Malinda's ears as the dragon's attention is completely fixed on the heaping plate of fried rice.
Vania: Malinda... What are you eating?
Vania: I've never seen you so focused on food!
Yaia: It's Yaia's special fried rice made just for Malinda!
Yaia: I put in lots of vegetables and meat. The kind that Malinda likes!
Yaia: Plus, I didn't use much oil or salt!
Yaia: It's not good to make people food for animals, so I made a special version!
Vania: I see... I've never thought about that.
Vania watches as Malinda continues to savor her delicious lunch.
Vania: I didn't know you liked fried rice, Malinda.
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Yaia: When I made fried rice for (Captain) one time, Malinda had some too.
Yaia: She really liked it!
Yaia: And that's how it all started. Now every time I make fried rice, Malinda comes to have some!
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo, gyoo!
Vania: I see! Then I'll try making fried rice for Malinda sometime too!
Malinda: Gyoo! Gyooooo!
Malinda squeals blissfully at the thought of Vania making fried rice for her.
A few days later.
Vania: Aaand Vania's special fried rice is complete!
Vania: Hehe, I hope Malinda likes it.
Vania smiles happily as she takes the plate of fried rice back to her room.
Vania: Malinda! I made you my special fried rice!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: Hehe. It's all for you, so eat lots, okay?
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Vania: So? Do you like it?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda nods with glee.
Vania: Hehe, there's still plenty for seconds, so eat as much as you want!
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda: Gyoooo...
But unlike a few days before, Malinda finds herself getting full after a while and decides that she has had enough.
Vania: Huh? You're done already?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania: But there's still enough for seconds...
Vania: You ate a lot more when Yaia cooked it for you, didn't you?
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo...
Malinda shakes her head to express how full she is already.
Vania: Ngh...
Vania: You were so excited for Yaia's fried rice...
Vania: But you didn't even finish a single plate of mine...
Malinda: Gyoo?
Malinda cocks her head at Vania's sullen face.
Vania: Fine! I'm never going to make fried rice for you ever again!
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo gyoo gyoo!
Vania: If you want to have fried rice, why don't you ask Yaia to make it for you?
Vania: You like Yaia's fried rice a lot more than mine anyway!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo gyoo! Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Do whatever you want! I don't care anymore!
Vania storms out of the room without another glance at Malinda.
Malinda: Gyoo...
The door slams shut. Malinda's gaze bounces back and forth between the door and the fried rice Vania made for her.
The dragon huddles dejectedly on the floor, unsure of what to make of the situation.

The Bestest of Friends: Scene 2

A few days later, Yaia and Vyrn hear about the fight and try to console the dejected Malinda. Meanwhile, Vania asks (Captain) for advice and decides to go and find Malinda to apologize.



Several days pass.
Malinda sits in the corner of the dining hall with a doleful expression on her face.
Malinda: Gyoo...
Yaia: What's the matter, Malinda? You don't like the food today?
Numerous scrumptious dishes are lined up on the table.
But none of them seem to tempt Malinda, who continues to sit listlessly at the table.
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Yaia: I wonder what's the matter with Malinda...
Vyrn: Huh? What's with the gloomy face, Yaia?
Yaia: Oh, Vyrn! Malinda isn't eating anything I make...
Yaia: Do you think she got sick of my cooking? Or maybe she's not feeling well...
Vyrn: She's not eatin', huh?
Curious, Vyrn flies up to Malinda.
Vyrn: Hey, what's the matter, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo... Gyoo gyoo gyoo...
Malinda: Gyoo, gyoo gyoo gyoo.
Vyrn: Vania's not talking to you? Did you guys have a fight or somethin'?
Malinda: Gyoo...
With a sad expression on her face, Malinda proceeds to tell Vyrn about what happened a few days ago.
Vyrn: Sounds like she's jealous, if you ask me. Guess Vania's still just a kid inside, huh?
Vyrn puts on an exasperated expression.
Yaia: Hmm... So you had a fight with Vania, huh?
Yaia: Still, Malinda, you're going to have to make up sooner or later!
Yaia: You'll get lonely if you don't talk to your family.
Malinda: Gyoo...
Yaia: Oh, don't look so down! It'll be okay!
Yaia: (Captain) said that only really good friends have fights!
Yaia: Anyway, Vania really loves you, you know!
Yaia: And I know that you love her a lot too. Don't you?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Yaia: You love each other so much, I'm sure you'll be friends again in no time!
Yaia: Trust me, okay?
Malinda: Gyoo...
With Yaia's help, the tightness in Malinda's chest loosens. She takes a bite from the plate of food in front of her.
Vania: ...
Vania sits on the deck of the airship by herself, lost in thought as she stares up at the sky.
A long sigh escapes from her.
Vania: Sigh... Oh, what should I do? That was a terrible thing I did to Malinda.
Vania: Maybe I could apologize and make up with her...
Vania: But what if we don't make up? No more long chats... or hugs... forever.
Vania: Ngh... I don't want that to happen!
Lyria: Is that you, Vania?
Vania: Oh, Bloodkin. Lyria.
Lyria: Are you by yourself today? Where's Malinda?
Vania: Sniff... Oh, Bloodkin! Lyria!
Lyria: Huh? W-what's wrong, Vania?
Vania: I did something terrible to Malinda...
On the verge of tears, Vania explains to (Captain) and Lyria what happened several days ago.
Vania: I thought I knew Malinda best... I was sure of it.
Vania: That's why I ended up getting so annoyed...
Vania: What do you think I should do to make up with Malinda, Bloodkin?
  1. An apology might be a good start.
  2. You should go talk to her.


Choose: An apology might be a good start.

Vania: Do you think she'll forgive me if I tell her I'm sorry?
Lyria: I'm sure she will. Because I know Malinda loves you a lot!
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Vania: Okay...
Vania: I'm going to go apologize to Malinda!
Go to "Continue 1"


Choose: You should go talk to her.

Lyria: Definitely. I'm sure Malinda will understand if you tell her how you feel.
Lyria: Tell her how much you love her...
Lyria: And tell her that's why you said all those things... because you really love her!
(Captain) nods in agreement.
Vania: Okay... I'm going to go talk to Malinda.
Vania: I'll tell her I'm sorry I got mad at her!

Continue 1

Vania: It's lonely without Malinda. I want her back!
And with that, Vania runs off to find her dearest companion.
(Captain) and Lyria exchange glances before sending their vampire friend off with a smile.

The Bestest of Friends: Scene 3

The crew makes a landing on an island for a monster extermination job. Vania continues to worry about when she should apologize to Malinda when a monster suddenly appears from behind her. Malinda arrives just in time to save Vania from the monster.



A few more days pass.
The crew stops at an island after accepting a request to exterminate a monster there.
But with no monster immediately in sight, the crew decides to split up to search for it.
Lyria: Did you manage to make up with Malinda the other day, Vania?
Vania: Hngh...
Vania puts on a glum expression.
Lyria: O-oh... Not yet?
Vania: Nope...
Vania: I was going to tell her I was sorry!
Vania: But then she was always sleeping or with someone else... so I haven't had the chance to tell her yet.
Vania: And now it's even harder to go up and talk to her...
Vyrn: Oh... I guess apologies can get awkward when you put 'em off, huh?
Vania: Yeah...
Lyria: But if you don't say you're sorry, you won't be able to make up with Malinda!
Vania: Ngh...
Vania: Bloodkin, can you come with me to talk to Malinda?
Vania: I don't think I can do it by myself...
Vania: Please?
Vania looks pleadingly at (Captain).
(Captain) smiles reassuringly and agrees to accompany her.
Vania: Thanks, Bloodkin!
Vyrn: Why don't you go as soon as this job wraps up?
Vyrn: The sooner the better, right?
Vania: Yeah! I can't wait to talk to Malinda again!
Vania: I'm going to give her looots of hugs after we make up!
Vania: And then, I'll make all her favorite foods!
Lyria: Ahaha. You really love Malinda, don't you, Vania?
Vania: Yep! Malinda's my best friend and my family!
Vania: That's why I love her!
Vyrn: Okay, then let's hurry up and get that monster outta the way so we can go find Malinda after!
Lyria: Yeah!
Vania: Okay! Let's do it!
Vania breaks into a run, eager to find the monster.
Vyrn: Hey, slow down! You don't wanna end up being a monster's lunch before you get to apologize!
Vania: Don't worry! I'm really strong!
Vyrn: Whew... Geez, where does Vania get all this energy from?
Lyria: Ahaha. That's Vania for you!
(Captain) chuckles and nods.
Vania: Come on, what are you guys doing back there? Hurry up!
Monster: Groooar!
Suddenly, a large shadow looms over Vania. A monster appears from behind and pounces at her.
Vania: Huh?
Lyria: Vania!
Malinda: Groooooar!
Vania: Malinda!
Malinda appears just in the nick of time and charges at the monster, flinging it away.
Malinda: Groooar?
Vania: Malinda... Th-thanks.
Malinda: Groar...
Vania: ...
Malinda: ...
Vania: Um, Malinda, I...
Monster: Groooar!
Vyrn: Save the talk for later! We gotta knock out this guy first!
Vania: O-okay!
Malinda: Groar!

The Bestest of Friends: Scene 4

Vania apologizes to Malinda, and the two of them make up. Back at the ship, Yaia makes more fried rice and agrees to teach Vania how to make it for Malinda next time. Having overcome their first fight, the two friends now share a bond that is stronger than ever.



(Captain) and the crew manage to defeat the attacking monster.
After confirming that the monster was the one they were meant to exterminate, they decide to take a rest to collect themselves.
Vania: Malinda...
Malinda: Gyoo...
Having reverted back to her smaller form, Malinda stands quietly in front of Vania.
A tense silence stretches between them, neither knowing what to say.
Lyria: Vania...
Vyrn: You've got somethin' to say to Malinda, don'tcha?
Vania: Y-yeah...
Vania takes a deep breath and turns to look Malinda in the eye.
Vania: U-um, Malinda... I'm...
Vania: I'm really sorry!
Vania: You see, I always thought I knew you best.
Vania: Because you're my best friend and family.
Vania: That's why, when I saw you eating the fried rice that Yaia made, I felt jealous...
Vania: You seemed so much happier eating Yaia's cooking than mine...
Vania: I just thought that... maybe I wasn't your best friend after all.
Vania: And that made me really sad...
Vania: So I ended up saying some terrible things to you.
Vania: I'm sorry, Malinda. Will you forgive me?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Malinda gives a cry of joy and jumps into Vania's arms, nuzzling her precious friend.
Vania: You'll... forgive me?
Vania: Oh, thank you, Malinda!
Vania breaks into a genuine smile and hugs Malinda as tightly as she can.
Vania: Ngh... Let me give you a biiig hug!
Malinda: Gyoooo, gyoo gyoo gyoo! Gyoooo!
Vania: It's been toooo long!
Vania: It was so lonely without you there beside me!
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: But we're going to be together forever, aren't we?
Vania: I promise I won't ever, ever leave you again!
Malinda: Gyoooo! Gyoo gyoo!
Vyrn: Whew, glad that wild ride's over.
Lyria: Yeah!
Just then, a growl escapes from Malinda's stomach.
Malinda: Gyoooo...
Vania: Are you hungry, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo.
Vania: Okay, then I'll make some special friendship fried rice for you when we get back to the ship!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
With their mission complete, the crew return to the Grandcypher.
Yaia: Welcome back, (Captain)!
Malinda: Gyoo? Gyoo... Gyoo gyoo!
Malinda bounds toward Yaia the moment she sees her.
Vania: Malinda?
Yaia: Ahaha! Can't hide anything from you, can I?
Yaia: Vania. Malinda.
Yaia: Are you back to being friends?
Vania: Yep, the bestest of friends! Right, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo!
Vania and Malinda hug each other happily.
Yaia: That's good!
Yaia: Hehe. Then I have a special present for the both of you!
Yaia: Wait right here!
Yaia comes back from the kitchen carrying a gigantic plate of fried rice.
Yaia: Here's your present!
Yaia: It's Yaia's super special fried rice!
Malinda: Gyoooo!
Malinda's eyes light up at the sight of the heaping plate of rice.
Yaia: I made it so both of you can enjoy it together!
Vania: Huh? Me too?
Yaia: Yep! It's to celebrate you and Malinda being friends again!
Yaia: So I did my best to make something that both of you can eat together!
Yaia: Have as much as you want, okay?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoooo!
Vania: Oh, thank you so much!
Touched by Yaia's act of kindness, Vania and Malinda each take a bite of the fried rice.
Vania: Mmm! This is delicious! It's totally different from the fried rice I make!
Yaia: Hehe. That's because fried rice is my specialty!
Vania: Hmm... I think I can see why Malinda gets so excited about your cooking...
Yaia: What's the matter, Vania?
Vania: Yaia, do you think you could teach me how to make this fried rice sometime?
Yaia: Of course! Next time, let's make it together!
Vania: Okay!
Vania: I'm going to do my best to make delicious fried rice like this too!
Vania: Look forward to it, okay, Malinda?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Vania: Malinda! Are you listening to me?
Malinda: Gyoo gyoo!
Lyria: Ahaha... It seems Malinda's a little busy eating at the moment.
Vania: Oh, Malinda!
The crew chuckles at the sound of Vania's protests.
A vampire princess and her dragon friend.
Having overcome their first conflict, the two are now closer than ever, their bond stronger than any rule or law in all the skies.
