So, the third season is finished and I still don't know if I like it or not. A lot of things happened, very surprising things. One of these things was the Sinedd/Mei couple. Everybody thought that it was a false couple and that Mei would go back to D'Jok in no time. And at the end, surprise: Mei and Sinedd are back together!
Even if it was THE couple of the season, I think there were not many scenes with Sinedd and Mei, outside the pitch I mean. So I decided to write this fic. I wanted to develop this relationship.
Disclaimer: I still don't own Galactik Fotball.
This is a love story.
Prelude.
Mei was in her room in Genesis stadium. Her day was not over yet. She had woken up at 6 A.M. At 7:00, she was in a studio, posing for a famous brand of make-up. She stayed here to 2 P.M, then she had trained with her teammates, the Snow Kids, thanks to the hollotrainer. Now it was 7 P.M and she prepared herself for a party where she was invited.
A last glance at the mirror and she left.
The high society of Genesis was present. Mei felt at ease among those gorgeous actresses and models that accompanied businessmen who could be their fathers, or grandfathers. She wore an appealing violet dress, her favorite color. Despite her tiredness, she enjoyed the party. Suddenly, she caught the sight of a certain someone she knew well. She smirked and made her way towards the familiar jet-black spikes.
"I didn't expect to see you here, among all people."
Sinedd turned his head and looked at the Snow Kid. He seemed annoyed.
"Believe it or not but I do have a social life."
"Hey, relax." She said with a smile. "We are not on the pitch, no need to be aggressive."
"Yeah, whatever." he shrugged. Then he took a look around. "Where is the rest of the Scooby gang?"
Sinedd raised an eyebrow when Mei started giggling. He looked at her face: her cheeks were almost the same color as her dress. Obviously, she had enjoyed the champagne.
"As you can see, I am alone." she explained.
"Really? That stupid boyfriend of yours is not here?"
"No." The striker caught the sadness in her big blue eyes. He smirked.
"Love is no longer in the air?" he sneered.
"That's none of your business." she snapped.
"Hey, relax. We are not on the pitch, no need to be aggressive." he said sarcastically.
Mei sighed. Talking to Sinedd was not a good idea.
"Listen, I'm not in the mood. So have a good evening and leave me alone."
"You came to me in the first place." he argued
"And I should not have." she replied leaving.
She moved towards the balcony, driven by a sudden need to be alone. The cheerful ambiance had no effect on her now gloomy state. Relations with D'Jok were more and more tensed. They argued all the time. Mei felt neglected. D'Jok had always been obsessed with football. But, now it was unbearable. When she had said she had to go to Genesis Stadium because of her contracts, he got angry, saying that she would not be able to practice. This was wrong, of course, thanks to the hollotrainer, she could train with her team-mates even if she was at the other end of the galaxy. Then he had tried to make her feel guilty, saying that being apart was not good for their couple. Mei had wanted to slap him. He had been the distant one, not her. And now everything was her fault! How dare he?
Mei sighed. She was not sure of her feelings for D'Jok. Of course, they were very close. Well they used to. But was it love? Have she ever been in love with him? She was a quite romantic girl and when she thought about love, what she had in mind was strong embrace, passion, fierce kisses… With D'Jok, there was none of it. It was sweet, not passionate. So, she wondered.
Unfortunately, she had no one to talk to. Tia was spending most of her time with Rocket. After all this Netherball thing, she did not leave his side. And she was not so close to Yuki. So she had to deal with it on her own.
Suddenly, she felt a presence. She turned back and saw a man. Tall, massive, he wore a long purple cloak with fur on the collar, a hat of the same color that hid a long black plait. He held a cane with a big ruby as a knob.
He was looking intently at her and Mei felt somewhat ill-at-ease.
"May I help you?"
"Yes, you may." the man answered, moving closer.
He gently took her hand and kissed it, very old-fashion.
"My name is Lord Phoenix. It is a pleasure to meet you."
Mei felt even more ill-at-ease.
"Err, nice to meet you. I'm Mei…"
"Oh, I know. I'm a great fan of Galactik Football and of your team of course."
"Really?"
"Absolutely. And, to told you the truth, I'm about to organize my own tournament." He stated, in a confidential tone.
Mei was stunned by this declaration. Who was this man? How could he expect to organize a tournament of Galactik Football?
"I can see you are quite skeptic." he smirked.
"Well, I am. How can you… I mean, organizing a tournament… Why?" she stammered, still stunned.
Lord Phoenix smiled.
"Some… unfortunate events happened during the last Galactik Football Cup. Genesis Stadium is no longer a safe place. But you are well placed to know that." The man explained
Mei pulled a wry face remembering the events that occurred during the final.
"Indeed. So what's your plan?"
"I'm glad you asked. Well, I bought some lands on a deserted planet. I have transformed it to create a perfect place It's called Paradisia. I wanted it to be as safe as beautiful. And, I think I succeeded. Imagine, you can play in brand new stadiums and spend your spare time on the beach." he explained proudly.
"It seems… interesting."
"Really? If you are interested, you can come and visit it. With the new space portals, Paradisia is not far from here."
Mei considered it a moment. She had never heard of this man but if he was here he must have been someone important. Besides, if this place was that extraordinary, she wanted to see it. And some holidays might help her forgetting her problems with D'Jok.
"OK, why not?" she finally said.
"Great! We will leave next week. Just the time for me to settle some details. See you next week then." he said while leaving.
But before he disappeared in the crowd, he heard Mei asking him:
"Will I be the only one coming?"
Lord Phoenix smiled.
"You'll see."
That's all for now.
