[May had arrived back in Luceti a bit earlier in the morning, but before anyone else was able to Xiao-Mei had found her and taken care of her. It was like a sixth sense that she knew where May was. Once the two had reunited with each other and Xiao-Mei had informed May on everything that had gone on for what was almost a month, it was time to address the network.]

Um, I'm May Chang, a lot of you don't know me but I have a question for you. What do you do if your crush is ,well, a lot older than you - and bigger than you. Not only that but it's a big hard for you to talk to them too. [She's talking about her panda's crush on Panda, but it seemed rude to give away names over a open network.]

On close note, how you do usually deal with your crush. Or do you just do go out and tell them right away? [When it comes to her own, she's rather open about it.] Have you ever told someone that you like them? How did it go?

Xiao-Mei told me about Greed, I hope all of you are okay.

[Oh, this entry is right up Patty's alley. She won't hesitate to reply.]

The most important part is to not be discouraged! The sailor who doesn't leave port will never see the world, ya know! Age makes no difference in matters of the heart and no matter how aloof your crush may seem, try and try again. By putting your heart everything you do, you will surely give birth to the breeze that will carry you safely across the ocean of romance!

Wow that's really good advice! My friend isn't really sure about how to talk or even if she can talk to him; but it can still work right?

[Voice]

[ps3pirate]

The language of love is universal! If you can't express your feelings through words, express them through songs and actions. Kind gestures! And the love of a man goes through the stomach, so a homecooked meal does wonders too!

You have a crush on someone, May?

And, we're doing fine. [Feeling better, that's for sure.] Thank you for your concern.

[alkahestrykunais]

Well, I do. This post isn't about me though.

I'm glad that you are.

[Oh! Well... Ran Fan will stick with written then.]

Well, having a crush on someone is always hard. And sometimes telling the person how you feel might not always be the best thing.

[voice]

[tapdancinskelly]

Hmm... that's a difficult question to answer. Really I think it depends upon whoever it is you're trying to tell. For some the direct approach is the best answer, but for others you should try to be a bit more subtle. So... who is this crush you speak of, and what are they like other than big and older?

[voice ; locked]

[alkahestrykunais]

[He gives good advice, but if May as to tell him who the crush is - the post is getting locked.]

You think so? I guess depending on who it is you should probably take different approaches... Well, his name is Panda - my friend is crushing on him. [A small embarrassed squeak on her side.] He's really nice and silly.

[voice ; locked]

[tapdancinskelly]

Ahh, if he's nice and silly perhaps the best way to make him come around is to speak the same langauge! By this I mean find a way to appeal to his sense of humor so that he can see you in the same light! Like minded individuals will often connect quite well, and if you're too shy to tell him outright, that may be a preferable approach. Oh! I know a great panda joke for you too!

A policeman in the big city stops a man in a car with a miniature panda in the front seat. "What are you doing with that panda?" He exclaimed, "You should take it to the zoo." The following week, the same policeman sees the same man with the panda again in the front seat, with both of them wearing sunglasses. The policeman pulls him over. "I thought you were going to take that panda to the zoo!" The man replied, "I did. We had such a good time we are going to the beach this weekend!" Yohohoho!

And then your friend could ask whether Panda would like to go out with them!

Does this help?

[Voice]

[concasse]

Well, in that case... Just how serious is this crush?

[Voice]

[alkahestrykunais]

[There's a bit of whispering as she discusses this with Xiao-Mei.]

Um, she really, really likes him. To the point she can't get him off her mind and blushes whenever she thinks about him.

[voice]

[explaining]

Ah...hard to talk to because of nerves, or is there some sort of language barrier there?

[voice]

[alkahestrykunais]

It's more of language barrier, she can understand him but.. not really the other way around.

[mikangirl]

I think that really depends on who your crush is. Things are sort of different for everyone.

[alkahestrykunais]

Do you think so? Are there certain ways to tell certain boys that you like them.. [She's just.. always been direct about it.]

[bamboozler]

[Clearly, May Chang has a crush on Panda. That's the only natural conclusion to draw from all of this. Let's count the evidence.

First, Panda has spoken to May Chang.

Second, Panda is older and bigger than May Chang.

It's so obvious what she's talking about...!]

Ehhh...? If it's someone really cute, you should tell them right away, don't you think?

[alkahestrykunais]

[Just mental screaming and freaking out with Xiao-Mei. You're close Panda, but a little off. Neither of the two expected this reply.]

D-do you think so? I-if it's someone cute?

[savedtheworld]

[Yeah, Aang's filtering this right off the bat, to prevent any snafus like the one that happened in Ling's post.]

Hi, May. It's nice to meet you. My name's Aang. And I know some things about crushes so I can help you! I don't think size matters if you really care about someone. And age shouldn't matter either, since we're all pretty much the same on the inside right? Well I guess it could be weird when the other person's really old...

[Voice - Filtered]

[alkahestrykunais]

Pleasure to meet you, Aang.

You think so. So the person can be like two times taller than you and you still have a good chance?

I don't think that my friend's crush is too much older than her, or I hope not.

[avaricious]

Thank you for your concern, May. However, is this someone we both know?

[He's thinking Alphonse. But of course, they both know a certain panda as well.]

[alkahestrykunais]

What are you going to do if it is..? [She's not suspicious that you would do something or anything, but cautious.]

voice;

[notabluesbro]

[Ha. Cute little lady. She's about the age of many he's got at the orphanage back home; it kinda makes him worry. Hope they're all getting by okay.] Well, I told someone I liked 'em. Loved 'em, after that. And then we got married.

Maybe the one doing the crushing should talk to their crush and just see where it takes them? You never know what'll happen, but it's better than missing out, right?

voice;

[alkahestrykunais]

E-eeh? That's so romantic! You're so lucky, and well she's lucky too. [Can you tell she loves stuff like this?]

Do you think? What if it doesn't go very well though, or takes them the wrong direction?

Written

[doubleppk]

You should just tell them!

That way if they don't like you back, you can plot against them.

[... Fujiko is the worst role model.]

So why are they hard to talk to?

Written

[alkahestrykunais]

Plot against them? Like punch them in the face?

[yes, that is probably true.]

There's a bit of a language barrier.
