Ch.1: How the fortune cookie can crumble
Laika walked to the upper level doors of the base. It was time to talk to his uncle about his time left in the Military. Upon entering the room all eyes was on him.
"Laika", his uncle spoke up, "your time will be up in three mouths, that should give you time to get your things in order."
"Thank you", said Laika.
"I see you have begun making arrangements already, a job, a truck you're paying off, Any idea for where you will be staying once you leave?", he said looking over the paper work.
At this Laika gulped everything but a place, he was ready for, but he figured he had two months to plan.
"Not at this minute in time, but I will be working on it", Laika said.
"Good, you will be able to work tomorrow?" his uncle said to his surprise and Laika lead his uncle into another room.
"Most likely, what is tomorrow?" said Laika, with a puzzled look.
"Princess Pride will be coming for some amassment from creamland" His uncle knew Laika would not mind, he never did.
"Oh, ok", said Laika with a new set of fears.
Pride grinned as her father began talking about her future responsibilities. He had made a national speech telling the whole kingdom that in a month she would assume the throne and he would step down.
To make up for not telling her first, he had taken her out for lunch. It speed by, but in a few hours time she would be in Sharo, where she really wanted to be. Just thinking about it gave her butterflies.
As she was thinking on this and ignoring her father, a waitress came by and offered her a fortune cookie. She opened it and it said.
"That special someone loves to see the light in your eyes"
She could feel herself blushing when her father said,"And that's the way the fortune cookie always crumbles.
Her heart bounded in her chest, it had to be irony, right!
Laika stood in front of the full length mirror," how do I look searchman", he said, looking more nervous, then when his uncle gave him the news of his time being up.
"Same as you always do" say the only to honest searchman. The big deal was that Laika was going to tell Princess Pride his feelings. This kind of bravery should be awarded!
DING DONG, "Laika-kun to the front desk", called Kat, who worked front desk. She was here, Princess Pride was here! His heart raced as he grasped searchman's pet, ran down stares.
He walked all the way outside to see her standing in the snow. She was looking sky wards as the diamond dust shimmered. Even he was stocked at this once-in-a-life time thing. And she looked so beautiful. He walked to her and took her hand in his.
"You know, they say when two people who care about each other see diamond dust together, they will be happy forever" he said, feeling crazy and blushing.
Pride turned to him and looked into his eyes. Was he saying what she thought he was saying? Her heart jumped.
"Laika are you saying what I think you are saying", she mumbled out.
"No! we're not talking about this, you have to get inside" he said pulling her inside,
She grinned why didn't he want to talk? Dame him! Laika handed her off to her father, who led her to a very large stage. She glanced out to the podium, Laika was talking out there. He looked cold and strong, even as he said her name. Then her father pushed her on stage. She had to make the big amassment!
"Creamland would like to relies this statement, that I, Princess pride will be coroneted queen, upon the 15th of May, exactly one month from now." She felt like screaming but she walked off stage calmly as she could and her father walked on to tell all other news.
She when to find Laika but couldn't! When her father found her he told her she was staying the night and to come home in the morning.
When Laika found her, and was in a fiery, for whatever reason was unknown to her, he led her to her sleeping quarters and tried to bid her goodnight.
"Laika, why wouldn't you talk to me," she said, feeling a touch angry.
"Please princess, I don't want to talk about this", he pleaded.
"What is your fucking problem, getting so fucking hostel!" pride yelled.
"I'm not trying to, but I'm not going to get in trouble, and you're the one being hostel," he shouted back at her.
"Am not and what trouble!" she yelled again!
Laika pulled her close into his arms. She pressed her head to his chest and could hear his heart beat, it was bounding as was hers.
"Take a wild guess", Laika said. Pride didn't say a thing. She just guessed he had feeling for her as well.
Time seemed to be standing still. Pride didn't think about her connotation in a month and Laika didn't think about his time in the militia being up in two months. She just stayed in his arms.
