Chapter 3: Going to the mall.
(Okay, so here's what happened, Robyn got a legal representation via Mimi's father, but didn't bother since it was only an accident; and she didn't want to go against City Hall, so she was okay by that; as well as her mom and Sora, this takes place around three months later)
It would be a few months later; but Robyn managed to get up and about, so she decided that Sora and her would spend the day at the mall by themselves, no Mimi, no Tai, nobody.
"Hey Sora, would you look at that!" Robyn said as she saw one of her favourite video games in an arcade. "Give me a second okay?" She said as she walked towards it. "Hmm, I've gotta put in a quarter...okay; seems fair for one game." Robyn said to herself as she started the game up and then picked the hardest song, on the insane difficulty level as Sora came over and watched her girlfriend play Stricken by Disturbed on the guitar hero arcade game.
"Damn, she's good!" Sora heard someone say as she looked around and saw that a crowd had come around her and Robyn; watching Robyn play guitar hero arcade. "Whoa, she's not even missing any notes!" Sora said to herself as she stood next to Robyn; staring at the screen. "Do you ever miss any notes?" Sora asked as Robyn laughed. "No, I have complete concentration on this game...even a simple thing of talking, doesn't bother me. Go ahead and kiss me on the cheek, it won't disturb my concentration!" Robyn said as Sora did that and she was amazed that Robyn hit all the notes (getting 100%) and then putting the guitar down, turning to Sora afterwards with sweat dripping down Robyn's forehead.
"Let's just say I'm pretty good at that game." She said as Sora rolled her eyes. "I'm good, but you blow my game play out of the water!" Sora replied as Robyn laughed. "No, I just went to the local arcade after school when I was in LA and just played on Guitar Hero...played it enough; that I must have spent at least five grand before moving here on that game. Seriously, it's easy if you're not a guitarist...but damn; it's hard to play when you are a guitarist." Robyn said as Sora giggled. "Well; guitarist or not; you just put your name on that games hall of fame!" She replied as they started to walk away...but Robyn didn't think that would be the only time she would play on that.
"So how did you get so good that you could go that fast?" Sora asked as Robyn shrugged. "I dunno, it's kinda hard to explain...if you're so good at being a guitarist, you know where each note is in your head, but with the Guitar Hero and Rock Band games, it's a sense that you need to know which button to press at the right time. I was really bad at playing it from a while, but once I got into it; I won a lot of trophies, cos they often had tournaments on guitar hero and rock band in LA...too bad they don't have any here." Robyn replied as she thought about it. "I doubt there's anybody who could beat you!" Sora said as they entered a few more shops before going home.
As they got home, Robyn forgot that she had band practise; so she just hurried straight into the garage, grabbing the saxophone that she would be using in band practise and hurried to the park; where Sora sat down near them and they played a fairly easy song – "Pick Up The Pieces" and Sora was amazed at the timing of Robyn's sax solos and the timing of the band around her when the song started.
As the weeks went by, Robyn had to say goodbye to Odiba for two days as she had to go back to LA for her father's funeral. As she came back; Sora saw that Robyn was coughing a lot and snuffling at the same time, she thought to herself; /Hmm, I don't think Robyn isn't very well...she's snuffly and coughing almost all the time...almost to the point to where she's gonna cough up blood or her intestines if not careful! I'll go and see her tonight and see what's going on with her./
As Robyn lay in her bed, asleep, Sora knocked on the front door. "Oh hi Sora, what's up?" Robyn's mom said as she looked at Sora, who was out of breath. "I'm...here...to...see Robyn." Sora replied as she caught her breath and Robyn's mom nodded and pointed to the door. "What's wrong with Robyn?" Sora asked as she looked at her girlfriend through the door.
"I'm afraid that she's caught a flu bug. It's just what she caught over in LA...she's gotten rid of the bug, so you're not in any danger to become ill yourself...but she's still got a bit of a fever. I just hope she can get through this." Robyn's mom replied as Sora turned around and gave her a thumb up.
"Hey, Robyn will get through this, I've been with her when she couldn't move and she trapped her nerves in her back." Sora replied as she turned back and walked into Robyn's room, pulling the cover over her girlfriend and sighing. "I'd best be going...mom's going out in a little while and I'm not really allowed to be out without her being in the house...she gets all upset if I do...Grrr, I hate it when I can't do much about it or this!" Sora said; putting her hands into fists and then getting very frustrated that she couldn't help her girlfriend then or now, nor could she do much about her mom's rules.
As she walked out, Robyn woke up slowly. "S...Sora? Is that you?" She said with a very sore voice from coughing a lot. "Yeah, it's me Robyn...I was about to leave." Sora replied but had her right arm grabbed by Robyn, who just looked at her girlfriend. "Please...don't leave." She said as Sora looked down in shock.
"What...did you just say?" Sora asked Robyn as she looked down at Robyn. "Please, don't leave...no one has visited me in a while...I've been all alone here in my room." Robyn said; getting very upset and almost to the point where she was gonna cry. "S...Sure, I'll stay here with you, i...if that is okay with you Mrs Walker..." Sora said as she choked up and her mom knocked on the door.
"Hi Stephanie, sorry to knock; but do you know where my daughter is?" Mrs Takenouchi said as Robyn's mom nodded and smiled. "She's in with Robyn...but she can't leave at the moment...Robyn doesn't want her to leave just yet. Sora has told me everything about that you're going out for a little while. It's okay with me for her to stay here with Robyn if you would like that." Robyn's mom replied as Mrs Takenouchi nodded and then smiled herself; "Sure, that'll be fine...at least I know where she'll be if I need to phone her." Mrs Takenouchi said as she wandered in and saw that Robyn was actually crying as well as Sora.
"Sora, sweetheart, your mom is here." Robyn's mom said as Sora turned to her girlfriend and looked at her. "Well, I guess I've gotta go." She said, letting the grip go from her arm and walked to her mom. "It's alright honey, you're okay to stay with Robyn." Mrs Takenouchi said as Sora jumped. "Y...you mean it? I can stay with her?" Sora said as her mother nodded and smiled. "I don't want you to mess around like last time when Tai came over for that little while." Her mother said, replying and then leaving the keys with Sora to let her back in their house when she needed to go to sleep.
Turning around and walking slowly back to Robyn's bed, Sora sat down in Robyn's office chair and held Robyn's hand until Robyn involuntarily let go of Sora's hand as she fell back to sleep. Sora placed Robyn's arm back under the covers and kissed her girlfriend softly on the head and sighed as she stayed with Robyn until Sora decided to leave as she was tired herself, leaving a note on Robyn's desk and thanking Robyn's mom for letting her stay there.
