Kids
Kairi watched as her father paced the room.
Man it was just an old school reunion I mean sure they were his old gundam buddies but surely it wasn't that big a deal. So what if every other of his mates had got married settled down and had a son . he shouldn't be ashamed that he was still single and had a teenage daughter, come on where's the fun in that!
"Dad will you please stop pacing or your going to wear a hole in the floor and ..." I was interrupted by a loud yowl followed by a tabby blur disappearing out of the kitchen door " your going to stand on Shinigami . again!"
He shot me an apologetic look and hit his head against the fridge. I laughed . I couldn't help it. Here was my father the 'God of Death' as he had been nicknamed getting freaked by a reunion! I mean . yeah he had changed since he had last seen them but he still looked near enough the same!
His eyes were the same his hair was the same his weight was still the same only a few laughter lines here and there had changed him. He was only 35 which bearing in mind I'm 16 is pretty young to be a dad. But he was the greatest dad a girl could ask for.
The kids at school thought it was weird how my mother had just dumped me on his doorstep and how our relationship was more best mates than father daughter but you know what . I don't care!
A stranger looking in from outside our kitchen window would have had a great laugh.
A teenage girl with dark hair and a wicked set of pyjamas (black with little pink skull n cross bones on) sitting on her kitchen worktop laughing her head off at a middle aged guy with a long ass braid hitting his head against a nice shiny aluminium fridge . strange non? Ahwell .
"Ok dad I'm going to get dressed . what should I be wearing to meet this amazing awe inspiring group of amazing awe inspiring pilots?"
"Whatever you want dearest daughter (he said this with quite a large dose of sarcasm may I add) just be yourself . I will be wearing my usual attire."
By usual attire he means black . man could that man pull off black . just like me. I do look the spitting image of my dad, same eyes same basic facial structure, most people think he's my older brother but alas he is not. I ran up the stairs in my usual fashion (two at a time) and into my room.
Turquoise and black walls with . yes you guessed it black furnishings, man I love living with a father who's more of a kid then I am. I chucked on jeans, a black t-shirt with the words "Are you stalking me? Cause that would be super" written across it (yes I have a random sense of humour . so sue me!) and my sneakers. Along with the usual bracelets, watch, leather wrist band, assortment of rings, tikki necklace, hoops in ears and studded headband. With this various assortment of clothing, a heavy dose of eyeliner and dare I say it accessories I grabbed my black jacket and bounced back down the stairs.
"You ready to go daddy darling?" I said with an amazingly good British accent seeing as I'm an American teen. He looked up at me and grinned.
"Yeah lets go let's see if the old gang remember Shinigami . Duo . "The God Of Death!!". He grabbed his keys and we jumped into the truck and off down the road.
"I will always love youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" man my dad had a pair of lungs as he sang along to a real oldie. apparently this was the 23rd time this song had been re recorded . cant see why they bothered myself.
I chucked in a rock album and began the long drive with some decent music. About half way there we stopped at a gas station. I hopped out and made for the loos. Jeez sometimes I could kill my dad.
I exited through the door and spotted my dads head in amongst the comics. I wandered over to him to peek a look over his shoulder 'without' him spotting me. He was reading a gundam comic I mean how egotistical can you get!!
I tapped him on the shoulder and put on my best 'annoyedemployeetryingtogetridofyouinthemostpolitemanner' (A/N annoyed employee trying to get your attention in the most polite manner) voice and said "Excuse me sir are you planning on buying that magazine? We're a gas station not a library."
He quickly shoved the magazine back onto the rack and spun around to face me with an apologetic look. That look that says 'please I didn't mean to I'm just an innocent little boy come on you know you just want to hug me!!!' That look had got him out of a lot of tight spots especially when he was younger and a full time pilot.
I couldn't help it. I burst out laughing in fact I was laughing so hard I nearly wet myself man did he look funny.
He didn't find it quite so funny . nor did the employee who I had impersonated earlier. Dad grabbed my hand as we legged it out and almost collapsed into a fit of giggles.
But hey we were on the road and off to . the reunion. oooooh!
