Well here is chapter 2. I hope you enjoy it! I don't own Robotech! please R&R follow and favorite.
They entered the restaurant parking lot Rick pulled up into a parking spot next to Roy and took the key out of the ignition. Rick buttoned up his uniform jacket and got out of the car. He locked the car and walked hand in hand up to the door with Lisa.
Rick felt out of place his friends where wearing civilian clothes and he had his uniform on and it was a day old even worse. They walked in the server showed them to an outside table. They ordered they're drinks and food. A few people around them gave Rick and Lisa funny looks. Rick shifted in his chair and glanced at Lisa.
She gave him a look saying, "did it really spread that fast?" Rick just shrugged then a few officers that Rick recognized walked over to him smiling.
"Hello Captain Hunter and may I say congratulations?" they smirked being smartasses Rick wanted to mess with them.
"Oh whatever do you mean Corporal Baker?" asked Rick,
"Uh well umm nothing never mind pardon me and please excuse the intrusion, Captain Hunter." He saluted then left embarrassed.
Rick was quietly laughing, "That was so funny."
Lisa giggled; also Roy and Claudia were cracking up.
"Ah I feel so out of place." Said Rick tugging at his uniform,
"Oh it's ok Rick I think you look fine." Said Lisa,
"Yeah well I mean I feel like I should be a work or something." Roy held out his car keys,
"I have some of your clothes in my trunk that I meant to give back to you today, I washed them."
Rick took the keys and went out to Roy's car he took out his clothes they were stuffed in a plastic bag. He went to the bathroom and changed. He splashed cold water over his face and pushed back his hair out of his face. And once again it fell onto his forehead in cascading, dark curls.
Rick stripped of his pants and pulled on his jeans. He changed his undershirt and uniform jacket with a black T-shirt and leather jacket. He pulled off his work shoes and pulled on black sneakers. Rick stuffed his uniform in a plastic bag and went back to the table. He dropped the bag at his feet and gave the keys back to Roy. He sank back into his chair. They ate their food; then the server came with the check.
"I'll take it." Volunteered Rick, he grabbed it he put his credit card in the tray that held the check with his military ID.
The server took it and came back a few seconds later. He gave a tip collected his credit card and ID. He put them in his wallet and tucked it in his pocket.
"Ok, so where now?" asked Roy,
"Uh, I don't know really we could walk around in downtown." Suggested Lisa.
They nodded and drove to downtown New-Macross city. Rick and Lisa were walking down the side walk hand in hand.
"Little brother, Claudia and I want to go down to the pier we'll meet you at 2:00 at Bucks-star, okay?"
"Yeah, sure see you then." Said Rick then they went their separate ways.
"So Lisa umm your birthday is tomorrow and I want to get you an early present." Said Rick,
"Rick no I can't let you do that." Insisted Lisa "Come on please I'm your boyfriend, it's my job to spoil you." Lisa smiled at the word boyfriend.
"Ok I guess so only because you feel like you have too." Said Lisa, he attacked her in a bear hug Lisa began to laugh loudly. They began to walk into stores Lisa was trying on clothes.
"Rick are you sure about this?" he stood there arms crossed leaning against a wall.
"Yes I'm sure."
It felt good to Rick to finally be spending his money he had been putting it away in his bank account for awhile. Finally Lisa picked a blue dress and shoes. After a while they got tired of walking around so they went into a small bar Rick ordered them some wine. Rick flashed his ID and Lisa showed hers. Rick was twenty-one, barley over the age requirement. Lisa slowly drank her wine.
"So are you enjoying yourself?" he asked,
"Yes I am very much; thank you for everything."
Rick nodded, "It's my pleasure."
He kissed Lisa on the cheek then someone gasped. It was Minmei she had walked into the bar with Kyle. Minmei frowned when she saw Rick smiling and laughing with Lisa.
Why is he with her? He loves me. She thought to herself she walked over to Rick before Kyle could grab her hand.
"Minmei leave flyboy alone aren't I enough for you?" asked Kyle in dismay, she ignored him.
"Hello Rick, how are you?" Rick looked up at the young blue eyed Chinese pop star. His eyes widened memories flashed through his head.
(Flashback)
"Minmei, I don't think we should see each other anymore."
"Why?" she asked with tears in her eyes "Because Kyle is better for you and I have something I need to work out . . . Some personal things." "No Rick, please don't I love you."
The memory of Rick dumping Minmei came back to him. He came back to earth "Hello Minmei, I'm fine thank you."
"How are you?" he answered awkwardly,
"I'm missing you very much. Why don't we see each other sometime you know as friends." She smiled and cocked her head her black braid falling behind her shoulder. Lisa looked at Rick he looked back at her.
He swallowed,
"Umm Minmei, when I said we shouldn't see each other anymore that means as friends too."
"Why?" she asked,
"I just don't want to see you anymore I'm afraid that you will interfere in my personal life and ruin my relationship with Lisa." He told her frank and plain and she didn't like that.
"Well Rick, I really miss you I just wanted you catch up like old times but I guess not." She pouted,
"That's good you understand well Lisa and I must leave now, goodbye Minmei, it was nice to see you." He placed some bills on the table and left with Lisa. Minmei was too shocked to react he had blew her off so quickly that she couldn't react.
"Well well looks like your flyboy doesn't want you anymore he found himself another woman." Minmei turned around it was Kyle, he smiled.
"Ah Kyle, you jerk!" she stomped her foot on the ground.
Rick walked with Lisa. "Rick why did you ditch her like that? Asked Lisa,
"She will interfere with our relationship I don't want to risk that."
Lisa's heart skipped a beat she never imagined that Rick would ever cut off connects to Minmei.
"So where to next?" asked Lisa,
"Umm, I want you to wait here, ok?"
Lisa nodded, Rick ran around the corner. 10 mins later he came back with flowers and a little box. Rick handed her the flowers then handed her the little box. She opened the box and it was a necklace.
"Oh Rick it's beautiful." Rick smiled and put it on her. She put the flowers in a bag.
"Oh Rick how did you know that I like Lilies? Asked Lisa
"Lucky guess?" he offered,
"I love you, thank you." She whispered. . .
Slowly and blissfully a half an hour passed and they made their way to Bucks-star. They saw Roy and Claudia sitting at a table with coffee; Claudia was smiling,
"Why are you so happy?" asked Rick,
"Two reasons." Said Roy with an ample smile.
"Well why are you happy?" he asked again.
"Reason one, I'm now engaged; Roy proposed on the pier." Replied Claudia,
"Oh that's so good you two about time you got engaged." Said Lisa,
"Well what is reason two?" cried Rick impatiently,
"Reason two Claudia has gifted me with the gift a new little life." Said Roy happily, Rick smiled,
"Oh, that's so good." Said Lisa they nodded,
"So, when can we expect some new little Hunters?" asked Roy
"I uh don't know." Said Rick awkwardly,
"Possibly soon," Said Lisa
"We CAN?!" asked Rick shocked,
"Well I don't know only if you want to." Said Lisa "I uh don't know." Said Rick.
