Yep, this is my first pretear fanfic. I was doubting whether I'd do it Dutch or English but I guess you can see which language I chose. First of all I'd like to state that the only thing and character I own is Yale Alexander.
Second I am a Hayate/Himeno fan so if you're too you do not have to fear, at least not yet. The first chapter may seem a bit confusing because of some bits of information missing, like what the hell happened to Himeno? Why do they need a new pretear? It will be explained in upcoming chapters.
Third I realise that theme of the story has been used before but I intend to write it differently and with good reason for a new pretear. Like I said it will be explained later on in the story. Please read and review so I know what you guy think about it.
Outskirts of town 17:43
'That guy! He's got some nerve shouting at me like that!' A small blond haired girl muttered in frustration. Her slim, candy striped appearance was completely covered in strawberry ice and chocolate sauce. On top of her head a paper fillet with cat ears, dangled dangerously to one side. Her jade coloured eyes where squinted in fury as she more or less stamped trough the abandoned street kicking her foot against a trash bin so hard it actually hurt. 'No one get's fired on their first day of work. It wasn't even my fault! That guy! I swear if I ever get my hands on him again! I'll break his neck, I don't care how good looking he is!'
Earlier that day, Kit's roller-skate diner 16:07
'Yale, two super burgers for table four, three banana smoothies for table six, and three strawberry ice creams with chocolate sauce for table nine!' A woman's voice barked trough the intercom near the door.
'Okay, I got it!' Seventeen year old Yale Alexander, wiped the sweat of her forehead and picked up the fully loaded tray. Her outfit similar to those people wore in old hospital series on television was more or less sticking to her body. The temperature seemed to have reached a new record this summer and no one in his right mind would take an underpaid job in a place called Kit's diner, where they served people on roller skates. No one accept Yale. What could she say, she desperately needed the money and this was the only job she could go to by foot. Keeping the tray in balance with on hand she straightened her skirt with other. It showed more skin then she felt comfortable with but she was in no position to complain.
The lime floor tiles where uneven, sticking out at some places. More experienced members of the staff simply skated around them without as much as flinching but Yale wasn't one of those members. Needing her full concentration to balance the three leftover ice creams she certainly didn't see the large crack in the floor coming nor the dark haired, pony tailed guy that came her way.
She fell forward, crashing right into his arms, tackling him to the ground. Her mouth opened in a silent scream when she felt both cold and warm liquid(with lack of better words to describe) land on top of her head dripping down her neck. 'Gomen nasai!' She exclaimed as she quickly got of the guy. Her cheeks where flushed with embarrassment.
Hayate wheezed as he felt the air being smacked out of his body. He raised his hand looking at the chocolate sauce dripping of, forming a puddle on the floor. 'Gomen...' The girl squeaked. He looked at her with an angry frown on his face, getting back on his feet. The girl however was still on her knees, looking up to him with her big jade coloured eyes. The eyes struck him, painfully reminding him of Himeno and her condition. 'Watch where you're going shorty!' He growled.
Yale bit the inside of her cheek. The only thing people ever got her angry with was mocking her height. She stood up wobbling on her skates, so she grabbed hold of a bar crutch. 'Shorty?! You watch where you're going, I'm trying to work here!'
'And doing a terrible job at it too' Hayate smirked at her angry face. The girl too easily showed her weakness and she was making a rather amusing sight, covered in ice cream and chocolate sauce trying to keep balance.
'What are you laughing at, I...'
'Miss Alexander! This is no way to speak to costumers. Look what you did cluts! Gomen nasai sir, it's her first day. She doesn't know...' The owner of the diner came rushing forward.
'No matter. Despite the weight I don't think I've broken anything' Hayate cut the owner of. He had no time for this. The new pretear had to be found no matter how much he detested the thought of having to pretear with anyone else but Himeno.
Yale winced under the owners words seeing her summer job flush down the sink along with the money attached to it but she couldn't keep her mouth shut. 'Weight?! How rude! Aren't you supposed to ask how I'm doing?! I'm a lady!'
Hayate burst out in laughing 'Lady? Well a rather small one then. Ja ne shorty' He turned his heels and headed for the door.
Yale was way to mad to hear any of the owners sermon. She regained balance on her skates attempting to follow the rude guy to tell him the truth but instead she tripped over her own feet. 'Waaah look out!'
Hayate turned around only to see the petite blond come his way again. He held up his arms to hold her of and she did the same. The moment their hands touched a electric shock went trough both their bodies.
Yale fell back, in surprise. That sure was the strongest static shock she ever had. She rubbed her sore hand and when she looked up he was gone. Xsoh She muttered under her breath. That was by far the weirdest thing she had ever experienced.
Hayate stood behind a group of trees across the diner in thought. Could this possibly be? That girl was the new pretear? The only way to safe Himeno? He shook his head in disbelieve. No way.
'Hayate, hayate!' little children voices ripped him away from thought. He looked up to see three boys dash his way. 'Where are the ice creams?' The smallest asked.
Crap, he had totally forgotten about the ice creams. 'They fell' he mumbled briskly watching the little boy tear up.
'Don't cry Shin. We'll get other once ourselves' The elder Hajime calmed him down instantly while Mannen shot an angry glare at Hayate. The three boys quickly disappeared into the diner leaving Hayate alone in thought once again.
'Three strawberry ice creams with chocolate sauce please' The sight of the three little boys near the counter made Yale smile trough her tears. She rubbed them away with the end of her sleeve hastily and stood up. Now that she was fired there was no sense in staying.
'Oh no Mannen, how can you forget the money?!' The middle of the three boys moaned while trying to hush the youngest that looked like he was going to burst out in tears any second.
'That's not my fault. If Hayate had just broth them in the first place in stead of dropping them!' The boy defended himself.
'I'll pay them for you' Yale cut in before they could continue their discussion. ' I think it was my fault anyway. He didn't really drop them, I did. See' She turned around so they could see her ice cream and chocolate covered appearance. 'Here you go. Please don't cry anymore little one.' She said handing the youngest one his ice cream. The moments their hands touched another static shock went trough her body. 'Ah, what is that today?' Yale mumbled rubbing her hand again. ' Right I got to run. Enjoy the ice cream'
Mannen and Hajime exchanged looks. The nice lady was without a doubt the new pretear. 'Come on Shin we've got to tell the others!' The three youngest knights ran of, completely forgotten about their ice creams.
Outskirts of town , same trash bin 17:56
'I'll never get enough money now' Yale moaned not even realising she was talking to a trash bin. Lucky for her no one was around to notice it. The last light of the sun was giving the houses around her an orange glow. It wasn't till then she realised how late it actually was. ' Xsoh,' She cursed out loud 'Mom will never forgive me for being late!'
'Yale...' a voice, no louder then a whisper froze her on her spot. She looked around but she was the only one in the street.
'Don't be afraid Yale. I'm here to safe you. There are some very dangerous man after you' The same voice stated softly. Yale felt it's breath in her ear, yet there was no one behind her.
'Show yourself!' She demanded. 'Stop playing tricks on me!'
The voice laughed, a high screeching sound which made her want to cover her ears 'I'm not playing tricks on you Yale. I'm trying to help. You have to trust me for they are looking for you as we speak. They call themselves leafe knights and they're after the destruction of earth. I know it's hard to believe but you must trust me. They'll destroy everything and you must stop them.'
