This is chapter 2 part 1, I am still tied up with homework, and i split all my finger's bones on my right hand in half, so i have to type with one hand. I got a few messages saying that they wanted to see the date with Shirley, so here it is. I'm still going to be loyal to my readers and try not to keep you waiting, because i know how painfully boring it is to wait, so part 2 should be out by at least this weekend. Like i said before, i really like all reviews because it helps me continue doing good work or fix bad work. Just so you know, sounds are in bold, and thoughts of characters are italicized So here it is, Chapter 2: The Beginning of a Beautiful Friendship... or Rivalry.
"Impressive, your sync ratio with the Lancelot is 96" Lloyd praised me. "That makes you better than Lancelot, maybe you should work for me"
Suzaku's POV
"DAMN, i knew he was good, but he makes me look bad, that is what i get for bragging"
Normal POV
"Cough, hack" i coughed up from the lack of energy. "T-that was... intense, i cant skip breakfast anymore"
"Alright, you could be a useful tool in the future, maybe you could replace Lancel..." A hand quickly wrapped over Lloyd's mouth.
"Lloyd, haven't i told you, people aren't tools, and his name is Suzaku, not Lancelot" Cecile calmly said while choking Lloyd.
"Oh! thats right, what time is it?" I asked in a hurry.
"Its 6:00, why?" asked a gasping Lloyd, finally breaking free from Cecile's grasp.
"!!" "OH CRAP, MY DATE, I'VE GOT 10 MINUTES TO GET TO PENDRAGON" I said as i looked around thinking about my current situation.
"I can't use my geass here, if i get caught by the cameras, which i can't freeze, i'm screwed" "Maybe i can use the Lancelot"
"You can use the Lancelot if you like, although i can't garuntee you will make it in time" said Cecile handing me the keys.
"Thanks a lot, Lloyd, you can ask Suzaku to bring me if you need me"
I then rushed out the door, boarded the Lancelot and flew off. I took the contact out of my eye, and stoped the flow of time when i was out of seeing range. "Shirley, here i come" I said as I zipped over the still water.
5 minutes later...
Shirley was walking up to the resturant, she was in her finest dress, best makeup, and red leather high heels. she thought she might be overdoing it, but because of all the approving looks and and whistles, she decided it was ok. Then she saw a twinkle zip across the sky. "A knightmare?" "Here?"
After docking the Lancelot in a knightmare garage under Lloyd's name, I ran for the resturant. I knew i couldn't be late, if I was, Shirley would hate me.
5 minutes later at the resturant...
"Shirley, i'm here, not a minute late, how long ha... WOW!" I almost started to drool over how hot she looked, and it was all for me.
"Are you impressed Rai?" she said. " I wanted to look good for you, so i could make a good impression"
"A good impression?" I suddenly calmed down and acted cool, as to not seem like a pig.
Shirley's POV
Noticing that he was drooling over how I looked, I still acted normal. "This just proves that all guys are pigs, but if that is true, you can call me Mrs. Piggy" I took his hand and we walked through the giant doors. The place was elegant, beautiful and filled with music.
Normal POV
I told the maitre d' (head waiter who seats you) my name. He checked his list of reservations and smiled. "What a lovely date you have sir, right this way". We then walked to our table in the middle of the room, which was already set up with a bottle of champagne and bread.
"I will be right back with your menus" said the waiter. "We don't drink" I yelled, but the waiter left hearing distance. "Oh well, as long as we don't have to pay for it" Shirley giggled. "We?" " I'll pay for us Shirley, I always treat my dates, put your purse away" I said as I took some bread. Shirley could only smile at my kindness, and then the waiter appeared in front of us.
One delicous dinner later...
"Alright, here is your check sir" the waiter said. I pulled out the money when i saw something gleam in the waiter's hand. I only knew what it was after i heard Shirley's scream of terror. "AHHHHH, HE HAS A GUN" came her voice from behind me.
The waiter pointed it at me and said "This it kid, give me your money, or else". "Or else what" I demanded. "Or else I blow both you and your babe's brains out"
I felt a cold rush go down my spine, and my eyes grew wide with fear. "Ok, just dont shoot and you can have all my money"
"I cant activate it here, but i can't take the chance that he won't shoot" "What do i do"
He pointed at Shirley, and pulled the trigger without warning. In the split second it happened, I felt a rage like no other, an anger that wouldnt go away, seeing my friend who i hadn't known for a long time at all, fall right before my eyes, ignited something inside me. "I HATE YOUUUUUUUU" i screamed, and i pulled out the contacts and froze time. I grabbed the gun and pointed at the man's head. "I should kill you" I said as I aimed for his legs and shot both multiple times. Then I unpaused time, and rushed to Shirley, ignoring the man's screams of agony. "Shirley, Shirley, are you ok?" I cried in a panicky tone. "I'm alright, but call 911, luckily, he only shot my stomach, he missed my heart" she said with blood seeping through her dress.
The paramedics soon showed up, and i carried her over to the ambulance. "Shirley, don't worry, I will be at the hospital soon enough" I said with a solemn look on my face. "I'm sorry I ruined our date, Rai" she said with tears rolling down her face. "Shirley, it isn't your fault, i enjoyed our first date up until the end, that waiter is going to jail for a while". I bent over and kissed her soft face, and what was only a few seconds felt like an hour to me. "See you soon" she said as the ambulance doors closed.
Then I walked into the resturant, with time stopped, I ran to the security room, and looked at the security guard who was watching the screens. "I, Rai Kozuki, order you to destroy all the tapes from this evening" I said as a red wave visible only to me came from my mouth, and rang in the man's ear. His pupils had a red ring around them and he obeyed, destroying all the tapes. Then in a second, he forgot what he did and I left, knowing my secret was safe.
That is the end of part 1 of Chapter 2. I am going to combine part 1 and 2 together when i finish part 2. Rai has more than one geass for those of you who didnt catch that, and yes I did make a reference to the muppets character Ms. Piggy. Chapter 2:Part 2 should be out as early as Friday. Please review.
