(Pre-Chapter A/N): Okay, I'm back after about 3 days. If you couldn't tell, I'm a procrastinating little...person. I just hope that it won't turn out like school. Anyways, since publishing that last chapter I've had to revise it at least 6 times now...not sure how I feel about that. Speaking of which, I'd like to thank 055 for informing me of the POV problems I didn't notice. Anyways, I may have to change that (and I quote) "every other day" schedule, because now that I think about it I won't have a lot of time to write with my 2nd Semester beginning. That said, it MAY (may) be once a week or Wednesdays and Sundays as of January 4th, but for NOW I can do every other day because of winter break. All of that said, here's your third chapter, 'Reunion.'
I jolt upright from my slumber and look around. Finding nothing I think about the day. Today is Friday, but not just that. It's also my 21st birthday! Last, but certainly not least, it's the day I catch up with everyone I've been ignoring. I had called my boss in advance to let him know I was taking the day off, which he was okay with, so I have all day to prepare for the reunion/party. But what was there to really do? I already had a dress and I figure that's all I need for such an event, so there's nothing else I feel as though I need to do. Knowing this, I go to my bathroom for a quick morning shower. Whilst under the hot water, I begin to ponder what I'm going to say to everyone. It can't be 'Hey guys, sorry I was blatantly ignoring you for 3 years, let's catch up!' As I think to myself, I realize that I've been in the shower for almost half an hour. I hastily shut off the water, for I hate driving up my water bill. I hop out and walk to my closet to pick out casual wear for the day. I've decided to hit the town until it's time to get ready. I pick out a plain red tee-shirt and a pair of blue straight fit jeans and decide that it's good. I throw on my clothes, put on some shoes and walk out of my house toward the city.
As I'm walking through the city, I look at everything around me. It's a beautiful place, I must admit. I don't know why I don't come out here more often. There are skyscrapers that reach beyond the clouds, moderately sized gardens strewn about every so often, friendly businesses and food carts. It's just nice. As I wander, I ponder a certain thought. 'I wonder if Jaune has put in that recommendation yet.' I think. 'I could always visit the forge and find out. But how would I ask?' As I come up with ideas, I find that time flies fast and I'm on the completely wrong end of the city by the time I decide to visit the forge. "Whoa, where the hell am I?" I mutter to no one in particular. I check my watch "Holy hell! I've only got 15 minutes?! How does this even happen?" I panic and begin thinking about how I can get there and I soon decide on hailing a cab, considering how much of a hindrance my leg is to running. I tell the man my address and he begins to drive. After 12 minutes we arrive at my home and I tell him to wait there as I rush inside to get my dress on. As I'm inside I check the address I'm supposed to be visiting. I reemerge from my home with my dress and heels on .I nearly jump into the cab. "2121 Quellner Dr. and fast, if you don't mind. " I tell the driver. He gives a quick nod and speeds toward my destination. At this point I know I'll be late, so I send Jaune a quick message saying such.
I arrive to the house about 10 minutes late. I pay the driver 50 lien even though the gauge only says 20. He deserves it though. I walk up the door and sigh before raising my hand to the doorbell. "Here goes nothing." I mutter. Before I can press the button, the door is launched open and I see the face of Yang Xiao Long, red irises and all. I stare wide-eyed at the face before me. 'Well this is going to be interesting.'
A/N: Okay, I'm extremely sorry it took so Xiao Long for this to be released. Yes I just made that pun...yep. Anyway, a couple of things. I had to throw 21 somewhere and it fit in the address. Gotta thank bulletproofpencil for giving the slight suggestion to slow down a bit on plot progression. I already see why. I'm typing ideas faster than I can make them, which isn't recommended, I must say. I'm beginning to think that the 2 day cutoff wasn't such a fantastic idea. Is 3 alright with you guys? This said, until next time...I'LL SEE YA!
