Chapter 21

"No, no, no, no!"

"What is it Master, what's wrong?" the squeaky voice came loud and clear from another area.

"The stupid humans, that's what's wrong! The female told the male she loved him, and he said he didn't love her! That moron! But, it's really the female who is exasperating. She's blocking emotions! The male is too, but not as much. Look, look at this! She's pulling them apart! Can you believe this? Can you believe this!"

"No, I can't believe this."

"Well, believe this, because it's happening! I'm going to have to bring them here sooner than expected. Of course, the female had to fall in love. Love, what a horrid emotion. It spoils everything!"

"I agree, Master."

"Of course you agree. You agree with everything! Why don't you ever have an opinion of your own?"

"Because you trained me to be like this, Master."

"Oh yes. Well, that really doesn't matter now. What matters now,, is the situation in front of us. We're going to have to get that rotten female to stop the blocking process. She's just about out of her mind right now, and I think the only thing that's going to bring her back to normal is the male. The male has to tell her he loves her."

"But you can't make the male say something he doesn't mean, can you?"

"No, I can't. But, I can make him act like he loves her. I can even make him act so much, that he will start to believe that he truly is in love with the female."

"You can really do that?"

"Of course I can! I can do whatever I want."

"That's amazing."

"Yes, it is. Right now though, it's a bother. It's absurd how much muck I have to put up with. Muck like this. Can you believe this?"

"No, I can't believe this," the voice droned.

"Well, believe it."
