After sending the beautiful archer Yumi back to her girlfriend in defeat, Kyle moves on to face…another pretty chick? Man, he doesn’t know whether to bless his luck or curse it. Well, it’s not like Elena will be much more of a challenge then Yumi. Another mage, another Silent Lake, you know? Sure, she’s got some moves that she can still use when her magic is blocked, but she doesn’t have much gas for those moves, and Kyle isn’t your typical frail Suikomage. He’s a Queen’s Knight, and more than tough enough to withstand her limited assault. But is the little Songstress tough enough to handle the rapid swordstrikes of a trained knight without her magical healing and stat boosters to fall back on? Yeah, didn’t think so. Much as Kyle hates to hit a girl, at least he can end this one quickly.

The Songstress can truly say that the hills are alive with music - music praising her continuing victories! Elena's gone farther in Middle than her other half has made it anywhere else, and now's the time to kick it up a notch and spice up the division with another spectacular victory for generic-healer-love-interests everywhere! The ladies' man Kyle is an affront to the church of Granas! It's time to teach Kyle a lesson about women's feelings, and Elena's going to deliver the spanking of his life! Kyle's Silent Lake prevents women from calling for help when they're in trouble, but it's Kyle whose in trouble - Elena's Nightmare Staff will still activate through Silent Lake, putting the pimp to sleep for the duration of the effect. Once that's through, she can deliver an apocalyptic spanking on the boy's butt!

The shell game.
A time-honored way to cheat, lie and steal(Obviously, not quite in that order.).
Of course, it would seem fair and reasonable as a challenge, if both participants were honest, wouldn't it?
This would seem like one of those times. A Queen's Knight, a bit on the ladies-man side, but very honorable. A Priestess. Surely, neither would want to cheat.
Yes, something this simple could decide a match between a peace-loving woman and a peace-with-women loving man, couldn't it?

"And the one I choose shall date...me!" Brother said happily, from his seat in the judge's box, as the giant shells lowered over the unconcious Kyle and Elena.
"...I could swear he didn't used to be this stupid." Auron noted from his nearby judges box. "Who let him call the rules for this match, anyways?"
"I gather he had something on Sten." Celes noted with disgust.
"...And?" "Sten had something on Seymour." '...And?" "And Seymour realized you can't kill a man with 99 Goat Dolls fast enough." "...Remember who we're talking about here." "He had 99 Soul Gems too." "Still not enough." "And he brought along some of Yuna's underwear." "...You should have said that to start with. How do you know all this?" Auron added suspiciously.
"Because the monkey stole my underwear and claimed they were Yuna's. I blackmailed my way onto the judges after that." Celes shrugged.
"Yes, yes! Spin, shells, spin!" Brother cried out, watching the giant shells revolve.
"Why? Just stab him and be done with it." Auron said, disgustedly.
"Oh, no, this has to be done correctly." Celes replied.
"And the winner of the match is the one on the left, who will be brought to my bedroom soon!" Brother said, as he raced out of the arena.
"Elena wins." Auron said, his voice absolutely flat, as he watched Brother leave.
"Good, now he gets the one who represented Elena." Celes nodded.
"...a cosplayer?" Auron said, a slight hint of a smile on his face.

"Ahhh, yes, the pretty girl! We will go out on a date for hours of fun! Then hopefully that will not be the end of it! Yes, my-..." Brother chopped off mid-sentence as he realized who was actually on his bed.
"You mean it!?" Valentina said, chuckling happily. "Oh, my, this is the first time anyone has ever said anything like that to me! Hohohoho!"
---
Ultimately, Brother never was able to get away from Valentina. To boot, Elena and Kyle, after finding out about the match, joined Auron and Celes in a rousing shell game, which involved putting Brother, tied and gagged, into one of the shells and turning the speed on maximum, then walking off.
Buddy was quoted as saying this could potentially be the marriage of the century and that no one deserved it better than Brother.
He's probably right.
Kyle: 29
Elena: 36
