Ooh this is good. You portray the characters so well in such a short story. Gale's my favorite, haha :)

That's an interesting pairing. I like the way you assimilated it within the actual story's course.

GALE! *jumps up and down*

OMG this is too much! why havent i noticed this fic sooner?

simply awesome, ur fic is, lass! gale here is so... GALE... um, u get the idea rite?

WAIT! there's still more? Serph/Sera you say?

*SHOM!*

Still...can't...log in...DAMMIT! Anyway, I've now read 2 DDS fics and I loved them both. This one was cool. Breaking down Gale's emotionless attitude was done wonderfully. I can't really describe the sort of emotion it evokes. Somewhere between love and a feeling of purity. Pure love. Yeah. CUTENESS!

Love, AJ

P.S. You said you wanted ideas, so, Bat/Sera. Yes, I said it. Some kind of love at first sight kinda thingy. After hearing all about the black haired girl, Bat finally sees her and questions the whole thing. Just make Bat seem like he has an emotional range greater than a teaspoon.
