Chapter 4: Pre-date Panic
It had been 3 weeks since Terra and I were on Heartless Weekly.
Yikes.
Let's just say, things have been a little crazy.
I was sitting in the presidential suite of the hotel I was staying at. Lucky for me, it was installed with a coffee maker. And a bed where I could sleep all I wanted.
I could get used to this.
Everyone else were in the rooms next to me. Axel made sure to give me a room by myself so I could rest. It was one of his occasional 'good-job-at-the-photo-shoot' presents. But that didn't mean people still didn't bother me.
"Aquaaaa!" Isa whined.
"No! Go watch in Father's room!" I yelled at him, pushing him off the couch and raising the remote high in the air so he couldn't reach.
"Pleeaase?" he begged, trying to reach the remote that was waving high above his head.
"No!" I screamed.
We continued fighting like this for a while, crying and kicking like little kids.
"AHEM." My father snapped at us through the doorway. "ISA. GET IN THE ROOM. NOW."
"But Fatherrr!" Isa whined. "Aqua has the flat screen! And all you want to do is watch those boring documentaries!"
"ISA." My father said.
"Y-yes Father," Isa mumbled, hurrying out of the room while keeping his head down, obviously trying not to look Father in the eye. Once Isa left, Father closed the door behind him.
He looked at me. "Aqua,"
"Y-yes Father?" I asked. Please don't scold me, please don't scold me. He's going to be mad at me. 'Why can't you be a role model for your brother? You know I'm trying to steer him in the right direction!…You should be more responsible! GRAUGH!' he'll say something like that.
"Aqua. I'm very proud of you," He said.
"W-what?" I almost jumped from his response. He's…not angry at me? And he's actually…smiling?
"What do you mean?" He asked, confused.
"Oh! It's nothing. I'm just surprised is all," I said.
"Hmm," My father chuckled. "I guess if that is all then," he said, then turned to leave.
"Oh! No! I just-"
"Your mother would have been very proud of you as well." My father said, leaving and closing the door behind him.
I sat on my couch, zoning out the sounds of the Television in front of me, wondering whether that conversation really happened or if I just imagined it.

Okay Aqua, settle down. It's just a date.
A fake date.
So what? It's just a guy.
You're Aqua.
You're cool.
You can handle anything!
You can do this!
"Larxene…I can't do this!" I cried in agony on Larxene's shoulder. We were sitting in the back of the limo. It was just the two of us.
"Oh, Shut up! Just talk, and smile a lot so the paparazzi in the bushes can get some good shots of you two. All you have to do is sit and look pretty, (Which won't happen if you smear your makeup…)" Larxene said, trying to fix my eye shadow with her thumb.
I smacked her hand away. "Can't you people just forget about the makeup for one second? This is important!" I said.
Larxene scowled at me, making the hissing sound she always makes when she's mad. "I'm just trying to help, Aqua."
"Well I-"
"We're here!" The limo driver said.
I gave a worried look towards Larxene. Was I ready? Could I do this?
Larxene gestured her hand towards the door and gave me a 'Go-on-already' look.
I opened the Limo door and stepped out, my knees wobbly and stomach uneasy.
It's just a date, Aqua.
A fake date.
End of Chapter 4.
Bum bum bummmmmm!
Sorry I haven't been up lately.
School's almost out! I can feel it! Once it's over, I'll write and upload more! Just 4 more days!
URGH! I'M SORRY. I'LL GET TO THE DATE I PROMISE!
Please review. That would make me happy.
Tell Lisa all your thoughts….
Later for now!
