Hey, its Kaiara07 here! As you all know this is my first fanfiction, and plus I have never had experience with writing stories before. Okay before we begin, I hope you like it! I will have some present day chapters later on, with Kai and Cinder (last chapter of Cress present). And finally this chapter is kind of like a intro, so don't hate and I would like some feedback - if you have an account! Oh by the way the next chapter will have Abbott meet the queen and the princess. Enjoy!
Chapter 1 - The Very Beginning
It was yet another hot day in 23 year old Abbott's mechanic shop. Abbott spent hours and hours working so that he can pay his expenses, and just by working at the the bottom of his apartment complex,in Artemisa, he is able to pay double his amounts. Abbott had three - no four fans going, but it still wasn't enough.
It was times like these when he was happy that he was a mechanic, he had set up the fans, so that they would go at different times, so that the cool air would constantly hit him. Swiping sweat off of his brown hair, he reached for his water...
All of a sudden a small beeping noise came from his portscreen. He had to go all the way across the room in order to get to it, and he was way too tired for that. With a lazy yawn, Abbott got up from his beaten old chair, and walked over to the portscreen. Just as he had looked at the portscreen, he felt like a total idiot for forgetting about his application for his new job.
He groaned he was so anxious. He really wanted that job.
He'd just applied for a mechanics job in the lunar palace. The job offered many different things that Abbott wanted - a better apartment, better pay and maybe getting to work around the palace. But the only thing he didn't like was to move away from his tall, and skinny best friend. Martin who was also 23, has been his been his best friend for a long time. Although he could be a trouble maker he was still fun to hang around.
They went to many parties together, double dates, and even studying about mechanics together. One day Martin even suggested that they open a mechanics repair shop. On that note he have forgotten that he was supposed to go out with him for drinks at 9:00, and it was all ready 8:50 - the stupid alarm should have been set for an earlier time so he could get ready.
"Okay. Okay, I will just go out like this, who cares?" he said to a now closed and empty mechanic's shop. He had to try to convince himself that what he was wearing was fine. But he just couldn't, the expectations were very high on Luna, with the fancy glamours and stuff, not many people would go out wearing dirty cargo pants and a grease stained shirt with work gloves. He looked at the time again - 9:00. But, now is not the time for that.
So, he gathered up all the courage he could find ,and hopped into his hover and drove off.
Without any traffic, he got in 15 minutes after nine. He parked a little close to the restaurant and walked in. Within seconds of walking in he got hungry, thanks to all the waiters passing by with trays and trays of food. Other than that the restaurant was actually kind of welcoming. With the dim lighting, sensible furniture and smiling staff.
While walking in he saw his friend, in a leather jacket and laced up boots. But then he saw a woman beside him. She had blond locks flowing ever-so elegantly down to her waist, contrasting to her long dress. Her hair and outfit was pretty, but her face was so unnatural, and she was vaguely familiar.
Wait, now he remembers. She is his ex-girlfriend. She looks so different now, she used to have red hair, and green eyes. Now she has blonde hair and... purple eyes? Whatever, they broke - up , but why is she here? His best friend knows how much he loved her.
Then the girl giggled."See you can tell he hasn't been on many dates before, with this reaction". Martin said making the girl laugh harder. She had a bit of a snort.
"Hey". He deadpanned, what was Martin up to?
Martin looked back at him. "Anyways this is Jessie, and Jessie this is Abbott". He said gesturing. "Anyways I though you may be wondering why I brought you here" Abbott nodded yes.
He pulled Martin to him, and turned him around she Jessie couldn't hear.
"Dude, I know who she is", he looked back. She was on her portscreen. "She is my ex, remember she cheated on me!"
"Oh" He said
"Whats going on." Abbott asked skeptically
"Um this might be a little awkward, I forgot, you do know each other".
Abbott narrowed his eyes.
Martin looked at Jessie, nudging her skinny arm.
"We are getting married" They joyfully said together.
Abbott's reaction must have been very funny, because the both started to laugh at his face. He had never mentioned this to him before and now they are getting married?
Without thinking Abbott turned around and ran out the door. How could he do this to him? How could they possibly still be friends? He thought. He ran to his hover not wanting an explanation, not turning back.
Thoughts kept racing in his mind. They were best friends. He had told everything to his buddy.
He raced his hover to his apartment that he shared with his ex-friend. Ran into the building, breaking only to board the elevator, then rushing into the apartment. He buried his face into his pillow. He didn't cry, he was just upset.
How could his best friend get married to his ex!
He screamed into his pillow.
Thinking about it gave him memories of her.
Suddenly he heard a familiar beeping sound. He pulled out his portscreen and read the COMM he has gotten seconds ago. It said "Congratulations, you have met the standards for the royal mechanics. You now are an official royal mechanic. Please respond no longer than 2 hours after you get this and our royal movers will move your belongings into you new apartment. Thanks, Martha Chmakova - Royal Job Employer"
He tore his gaze from the text, trying to recall what just happened. He did it! Now he could move out within the next hours, and he won't have to live with the menace he called his best friend.
I hope you liked it! Phew that was over with, and the next chapter up will be longer - I Promise!
