Well, here it is. The final chapter of The Arte of Toddlers. Ys, the laughs will be missed, and so will our toddler friends, but our heroes must get on with their adventures so that Asch may not explode from stress.

I'd like to thank my reviewers, though the list is not long(only one page phuu....), they reviewed, and told me(in some cases) they are scared of little kids. Fear not, the children in this story do NOT act like real kids. DO NOT. This is a humor story, how else are they supposed to act? But some kids do act like that, sometimes... And I'm thanking the even longer list-thankfully- of people who favorited this, or alerted it. You didn't review, but the fact that this is on your list of favs is pretty good for me!

Now, to the story!!! I do not own ToA, for the last time in this story.

And, also for the final time in this story:

Read on!!

If only they had decided to all sleep in the same room, instead of leaving those two alone...

Now, when a 35 year old man wakes up naked in a bed with a 13 year old girl, he would be arrested, right? Right? Well, when a 35 year old COLONEL, wakes up naked in a bed with a 13 year old FON MASTER GUARDIAN, the circumstances are COMPLETELY different.

"!!!!OHMYGOOOD!!!!!!!!!!" This, extremely loud and high pitched scream woke everyone in the palace-and possibly the city-and everyone from maids to rappigs came running to the second floor guest room.

Jade's face was redder than even Asch's hair, he sat cross-legged on the bed, the blanket gathered around his waist as to hide his...naked...ness... Peony was nearly dying of laughter as he tried to get some clothes for the extremely embarrassed Colonel. Tried. He was laughing to hard to see clearly.

If Jade's face was red, it was nothing compared to Anise, who had flung herself across the room the moment she woke up. Her face was a deep red, as if all the blood in her body had gathered there. She was rocking back and forth, covering her eyes, yelling "I'm scarred for life! Oh my god I saw the colonel NAKED!!!" Tear quickly dragged her out of the room when Peony returned-still laughing himself silly-so that Jade could change.

Tear herself was slightly embarrassed, seeing Jade with nothing but a blanket around his waist. Luke was on the floor laughing like there was no tomorrow, as was Peony.

Asch was torn between relief and the urge to laugh. If only he had something to remember this by... A picture, or something. This was just too great. The famous Necromancer, with nothing but a blanket in a bed with a young girl. Oh yes, revenge was sweet.

Natalia covered her mouth when she saw what the commotion was. "Oh dear! The Colonel back to normal...but why is he wearing a blanket?"

Guy laughed nervously, also torn between embarrassment and the urge to run to a quiet room and laugh. "Uh, there's a good reason for that...sort of... Let's just go and uh, let him change..."

Needless to say, Peony's laughter could be heard throughout the palace, even when Jade finally appeared behind him, quite annoyed and embarrassed, still red in the face. However, Peony and Luke only laughed harder, as Peony was unable to find anything but a spare copy of his own clothes.

"Ahem." Jade coughed indignantly into his hand. His face displayed that he was obviously not seeing the funny...ness in this situation. "Peony..."

"Oh god-Jade-Ahaha! I-I'm s-sorry! Oh god! Oh jeez! Ahahaha!! It's just-It's just-AHAHA!!!" Peony couldn't form a complete sentence. This annoyed Jade even further.

"May I ask what happened while I was...not myself?" Jade asked the group. Asch was the only one able to complete a sentence.

However, it wa sonly out of rage. "DON'T. REMIND. ME." He yelled. "OH YOU THINK THAT YOU WOULD BE THE QUIETEST LITTLE...THING, DON'T YOU?!?!" he yelled in the Colonel's face. "WELL YOU'RE WRONG! AND LET ME TELL YOU THIS!! I AM NEVER. EVER. EVER! COMING NEAR YOU WITH ICE CREAM! NEVER!!!"

This cause said Colonel to step back. Asch continued yelling at the top of his lungs.

"YOU ARE THE WORST THING THAT I HAVE EVER HAD THE DISPLEASURE TO MEET! IF YOU THINK YOU WERE BAD, YOU'RE WRONG! BAD IS AN UNDERSTATEMENT!! YOU WERE THE WORST!! I SHOULD HAVE NEVER COME HERE! I'M NEVER GOING TO GET THE ICE CREAM OR APPLE JUICE OUT OF MY UNIFORM, AND IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!!!" He jabbed a finger at Jade. He finally stopped yelling breathing deeply, with a quite stunned Jade standing in front of him.

"Well then..." Jade paused, listening to Peony's less than silent laughter. "So to sum it all up-"

"You were...No offense Jade..." Luke gasped. "But you're the worst toddler...I think anyone will ever come across..."

"You know, you're the one that gave him the ice cream." Tear sighed.

"Shut up! He ASKED for it! I didn't know that would happen!" Luke exclaimed. "Be happy that Peony hasn't skinned us alive for that!"

"For what?" Jade asked. He took note that Anise still hadn't come out of her muttering corner.

"Hey come one guys!" Guy chucked. "Jade might not be the...best artist, but that rappig did look...interesting..." he trailed off.

Everyone save for Anise, Asch and Peony and Jade started laughing. Jade only sighed, Peony whined that he would never get the paint out of his cute little Jade's fur, and Anise just muttered something about seeing naked men.

"Well! Now that this is over! I'm leaving! I WAS supposed to be searching for the jewel, in case you've all forgotten." Asch said, he quickly muttered a good-bye to Natalia and stalked off. Shuddering every few steps, trying to shake off the memories of the last few days. He appeared to have gotten rid of almost all of his built up stress cause by the Colonel. But because of those stains in his uniform, the memories would last...who know how long.

"So..." Anise finally came out of her corner. "What now?" Indeed, they were al standing in this hallway, doing nothing. Although every ones attention seemed to be drawn to Jade and Peony's matching clothing every few seconds. This cause Anise's face to turn red once more. Jade coughed in to his hand again.

"Well...I think Jade needs some uh, new clothes.." Huy said nervously.

"Right!" Peony grinned sudden;y. "I have a spare one in my room!" he grabbed Jade's arm and started pulling him to his room.

"Your Majesty, may I ask why there is a spare copy of my uniform in your bedroom?" Jade asked, he had to keep holding the pants he wore, as they were much baggier than he was used to.

"Because, I fooled around with it a little. I hope you know it's the only one I have, or you have, so either you wear it or-pfsh-" Peony snorted and continued. "Go naked back to Baticul to get your original one..."

Jade walked slightly quicker.

"Shall we wait for the Colonel to return?" Natalia asked.

"I guess, what else are we supposed to do?" Guy shrugged.

Luke sighed. "It's going to be boring now..."

"Don't tell me you enjoyed seeing Asch so angry?" Natalia exclaimed.

"No!" Luke shook his head. "I just...Okay yeah, I did! I didn't think any one would ever yell at Jade like that!" he laughed.

"Well remember it then. I don't think we'll see anything as..er, funny as this even for a while." Guy said. Unfortunately(in some cases), he was wrong. Two voices echoed through the palace.

"Peony? What have you done?!"

"AHAHAHAHAA!!! Oh Man!! It's either that, or go naked!!"

This caused Anise to yell again. "Augh!!! I'm scarred for life!!!!"

Needless to say, when people would say that they would like to see the colonel wearing something other than his uniform Anise would be able to say that not only has she seen him with no uniform, she's seen him with NOTHING AT ALL.

Anise would never be able to look at Jade again without a naked image of him replacing the real one...

AN-Seriously though, can anyone imagine Jade naked?
