Like any other ordinary day, it started off with breakfast, school, experiment, sleep. Precis, in the beginning, became very restless of this… trivial and customary thing, but soon, what else could she do around there? Ever since the group split up, she was downright BORED!!!!
Heck, nothing ever HAPPENED that came to emergency. She had summer break again, which to one, would sound like the only good thing in the year, but for Precis it was simply another excuse to finish up her unique experiments. This soon no longer became 'unique'. She had almost reached the end to her minds limits. She wanted adventure again! She wanted wander, rover, travel! Get ideas from that! Reminding herself regretfully that Claude was going to tell her what a 'computer' was…
And for once, in this slowly-becoming-indifferent life, Graft came in with the mail ("Wow, when was the last time he picked up the mail?" Precis asked her self, bewildered.)
"Bill, bill, bill… ooh, this is mine…" he muttered and tucked it away, as Precis perked a brow. She would sneak a look at it later. "Bill, bill… Fancy letter? Precis, it's for you!"
Precis sprung to her feet, and snatched it out of his hands.
"WOW, REALLY!??!?!?!?! THAT'S SOOO TOTALLY UNCOMMON!!"
"Young lady, you MUST learn some manners-"
Beeeeep…
Precis had gone down to her room.
Graft only shook his head and went back to creating a "TV".
~*~
"Come to our wedding!" the title read on the neat and smooth letter.
Wedding?? Wedding????? Chisato and Dias or something, I bet…
"Miss Rena Lanford and Claude Kenni will be having a wedding on the--"
Precis paused, heart stopped, blood drained from face, pulse cease…
NOT CLAUDE! ANYONE BUT THAT HUNK OF LOVE!!!! WHY!?!? WHY?!?!?!?!? She despaired silently; looking odd to one's eyes.
Well, eventually they WOULD end up together, argued another voice in her head…
But, Claude is sooooo hott! IT CAN'T BEEEE!!!!! LOSING… strength…
You know that Claude is in love with Rena and Rena-
But, from there, Precis had ignored the little voice, and began creating her own vicious plans to win Claude over…
Claude already is in love with Rena. Must be something… automatic…. Magic?? Magic would work. But, I never inherited magic powers… I have power, yes, power! (She held up her SDGUA Punch) But… Rena and everyone else would never forgive me, and call me the 10 Wise Men or something…
The good, angelic voice in her head said, Okay? Are you listening???
But evil, malicious, voice (…I suppose like the angel-devil people who sit on there shoulders and say stuff) went on…
"Potion…"
Silence.
Suddenly, she had an idea. After all, she IS a genius 17-Year-Old and, she could find out how a potion worked, and that didn't require magic, just ingredients, and she could deal with ingredients, and that was easy so… so it was all swell! Just SPIFFY! Make the love potion, make your man drink it, WHAM! You got your man!
"Precis… I-I never realized how much I loved you…"
"Oh Claude, I love you too… but… how could you leave me for Rena???"
"Rena? Rena? I only think of you…" he said softly, elegantly taking her hand into his own, strong and trained, and caressing those soft lips against it. And all the while, those deep blue eyes filled with passion for her… Only her!
"Oh, Claude!"
"Precis!"
Suddenly, it was nighttime and the stars glittered for them, and the moon put a warm spotlight on the happy couple. They embraced, lips touched, and the words, "Happily Ever After" fell above them.
"Precis?"
"Claude!"
She turned suddenly to meet her fathers face.
"Ah-PAPA!"
He stared then continued.
"What's that letter about? Is that another letter you sent to yourself, that you labeled 'Claude' again???"
"WHAT!??! NO!!!! I don't know what you're talking about…" she managed, turning away from her dad's taunting face.
"What's the letter then?"
"It's REALLY none of-" she blinked. "Well, I haven't read it yet. Need to read it in private, you know…"
The father stared at her, getting the hint, but not wanting to take it. But, if he didn't, she'd probably start a tantrum about being grown up and stuff or something…
After he went back up the elevator, Precis looked through the letter quickly, wanting to get back to her eeeevil plan.
Who: Rena Lanford and Claude Kenni
When: January 1st
Where: Village Of Arli
Why: Marriage and love! ^_^
Precis winced. How disgusting.
As she packed up her dolls, and clothes, and mechanics, and Bobot (version 6.0!), and comics, and pictures, and her ever-so-secret-picture-of-Claude, she thought, Where do I get a recipe for a LOVE potion???
She sat there, thinking in brooding silence…
Spells are…in books… In intelligent thick books, like mechanical books except for it made no sense to the likes of her…
But, where could you find lots n' lots of books?
The oh-so-difficult answer took its precious time to float out of Precis's mouth.
"Library… University… In this TOWN………"
One could imagine a rock being thrown at her to turn on the light bulb waiting patiently to be clicked on…
Click!
Precis scooped Bobot between her arms, and whacked the Up button, impatiently and fervidly. She stepped out immediately and ran past her father, and out the door, stumbling over herself in excitement.
"Precis?!?!?! WHERE ARE YOU GOING?!?!?!"
"Out!" she said a second, and gone in another.
