Chia had appeared somewhere near Gregory. Though the two had never formally met, they knew each other on sight. Gregory had quickly asked Chia about the whereabout of the rest of us, but she had honestly said that she had no clue. Gregory had explained that he was gathering the Vikings together into an army, the likes of which had not been seen since the battle against the Laotogo. As the Viking ships from around the world fell into the Bloodhound III's wake, Gregory and Chia had a heart-to-heart.

"I think I've grown to like Olaf," she said. "I want to ask him out on a date."

"Ok," Gregory had said. With a deft movement, he had pulled out his cell phone and had dialed Olaf's number.

"What are you doing?" Chia had tersely asked.

"Telling him that you want to ask him out on a date," Gregory explained.

Neither were sure if Olaf had actually heard Gregory's announcement. All they were sure of was that after Chia had slammed Gregory's phone into a million pieces, they saw that the time Olaf had picked up his phone and had been listening for eleven seconds before it had been broken. The 'eleven' was ingrained in the broken phone's screen.

"Thanks a lot," Chia muttered. "Now you ruined the whole encounter."

"Only trying to help," Gregory had said defensively.

There apparently wasn't much incidents after that.
