I decided I want to post another chapter of this! same format, continuing on from a year later. This time dru's got an announcement, but keeps getting interrupted. And a certain someone comes back...
Kyle is from chapter three of Mongrel ;) You'll have to read it to get it.
I OWN STRANGE ANGELS! WOOH! *Smacked by Nathalie* Tell the truth! *Smack* FINE! I DO NOT OWN STRANGE ANGELS!
"Christophe… I have some news. Important news."
"What is it, kochana? You look nervous."
"I just don't know… how you'll take it. Christophe, I'm-"
"There you two are! I've been looking everywhere for you!"
*Sigh* "Hey Nat. Look, I have news. I'm-"
"Tell us on the way there! C'mon, the car's already waiting, we have to go get ready!"
"We're not going clubbing again, are we Nat?"
"Well…"
"Are you insane? Do you remember what happened last time? Besides, clubbing is really not the best idea considering I'm-"
*Laughs* "I'm kidding! We're just going for dinner, you guys and Shanks and I. Now let go of your wife's hand, Reynard. I need to get her ready."
"Take care of her, Skyrunner."
"For the last time, I do not need taking care of!"
"You shush. You know, you're married to my best friend. You can call me Nathalie."
"Very well… Nathalie. Take care of her."
"Ugh!"
…
"Dru, I don't care what I have to do. You are going to wear this dress!"
"Yes, Nathalie. Whatever you say, Nathalie."
…
"I'm Kyle, and I'll be your waiter for tonight. What can I-"
"No! No please, not again!"
…
"Dru, milna, why do you persist with your Diet Coke? There are so many better options."
"Alcohol's not the best idea for me right now, seeing as I'm-"
"Food's coming!"
*Face palm* "Thank you for that stunning observation, Shanks."
"No problem, Dru."
…
"If you don't stop flirting with my wife, Kyle, be assured that I will get you fired!"
…
"Dru, didn't you have something you wanted to say?"
"Yes. I'm-"
"Look, more food!"
*Loving smack* "Shanks, hush and let Dru talk."
"Thank you Nathalie. Now, I've got big news. I'm-"
"Holy crap, what's that?"
"What? Shanks!"
"I just wanted to see what her face would be like if I interrupted Dru again! Ow! Jeez Nat!"
"Shut up and let the woman talk!"
"Yes, dear."
"I'm pregnant!"
…
"Milna… you're pregnant?"
"Yes."
"With my child?"
"No Christophe, with Shanks'! Yes, it's your child!"
"Whoa… Christophe is showing emotion. This is big."
"Shanks, hush and let them have their moment."
"But he's- Ow!"
"Are you honestly pregnant?"
"No, I'm lying. Of course I'm pregnant, jeez Chris!"
"He's standing up! What is he doing? What will he do next- Ow!"
"If you don't shut up Shanks, you will be sleeping on the couch!"
…
"Attention restaurant! My wife is pregnant!"
"That is the most un-Christophe like thing you've ever done. Does that mean you're happy?"
"Moj boze, Dru! Yes!"
"Oh, thank God!"
"Did you think I wouldn't be, Dru? I love you, and now… now I have a family."
…
LATER
"Aw, they're so cute together."
"Yeah, I guess. I just think… oh. That could put a damper on their moment."
"Wha- You're back!"
"Where's Dru? I haven't seen her in what, eight years?"
"Straight to the point, aren't youGraves? She, um, isn't here."
"What do you mean she isn't here? She's not… she's not dead. She can't be. Is she? She's not dead! She is not-"
"Way to be optimistic, but calm down bud. No, she's not dead. She just doesn't stay in the Schola anymore. She's got a place with somebody a few streets over."
"With who? You know what, I don't care. Where is it? I have to go see her."
"I'll take you there. There's just something you should know…"
"What?"
"She lives with Christophe."
…
"Why the hell does she live with him?"
"Well… Nat, why don't you tell him?"
"Oh, I'll tell him. But I've got to ask him something first. Why the fuck didn't you at least contact Dru? She deserved that! She waited for you for two years! And what did you do? Well, who knows what the hell you did. Probably some other girls."
"Nathalie, I-"
"You have no right to see her!"
"Nathalie, take me to her."
"Hey! Don't go all dom on my girl,Graves. And just relax, both of you. This is Dru's business. We'll take you thereGraves. But first shut up and listen."
…
"I'm listening."
"She, uh… Nat, your turn."
"They're married!"
…
"They're what?"
"They're married. Oh, and Dru's pregnant."
…
"When the fuck did this happen?"
"They got married a year ago. She announced today that she's pregnant."
"I don't believe you."
"Well, I'm not going through the garbage to find her pregnancy test. But I've got pictures of the wedding day. She looked great. If you'd come back earlier, maybe she would've married you."
"Excuse me?"
"Uh, Nat? Not a good idea."
"I don't care! He fucking hurt Dru! You saw how devastated she was! He does not get to just waltz back into her life!"
"Just take me to her Nathalie."
"Fine. I hope she slaps you."
Oh, Graves is back! And he's not too happy... and Nat isn't too happy with him! If people want me to continue this, I will. Let me know! (If I do continue, the next chapters will not be all dialogue unless requested. It's hard to get the scene and stuff across, even if it is fun.)
Buh-bye!
