After meeting Matt at the store, I ended up helping Natalya with arranging her flowers in her little shop to kill time, and I learnt something that I hadn't already heard from the older women that Kooky Kirkland has his book parties with. Unfortunately, I nearly dropped a vase because of what she said, but thankfully I have better than average reflexes.
Setting the rescued vase on a counter, I finished my gaping and confirmed what I just heard.
"So you like Ludwig," I asked her hesitantly, unsure if I actually heard right.
She nodded slowly, and with a lusty sheen to her eyes, said quietly, "I like the way he just takes control of a situation, and how responsible he can be." She started blushing here, "I love it when it's a hot day and I walk by his house, and he's working in the yard, and he's taken his shirt off, so you can see all of his muscles moving. It's really makes me want to become one with him…" Natalya's face started getting a bit creepy from her vivid daydream, and, thinking it was the best choice at the moment, I finished off the rest of the bouquets before asking her if she needed me for anything else.
She was brought back down to Earth when my voice registered in her brain, when she quickly said, "No. Thank you for your help, Amelia, but your assistance is no longer required. I have something to do now." With that, she hurried out of the shop. Strangely enough (or not), she was going in the direction the Beilschmidts' family home.
If it were any other time, I'd probably follow Natalya, but I heard the noises of the annual fair we host in honor of the little town's guests attack the silence of the room, and thoroughly killing it. So I decided Ludwig would be safe enough. I mean, she can't really hurt anyone. Well, except she did send Toris out of the city for a
while after he made her mad, I believe.
Stepping outside certainly led me to a different world. The residents greeting their guests were noisier than ever, and the smell of the air was extremely sweet. Distracted by the smells, I heard an "Oomph!" and quickly opened my eyes, not realizing they were closed in the first place. Looking down, I saw a tall, blonde man looking a bit startled. Freaking out, I knelt down to offer assistance to help him up after apologizing, when he looked up at me with his blue eyes, nearly stopping my heart.
This person looks just like me, was my initial thought when I saw all of his face. Apparently, he was thinking that too, because his face was frozen and his eyes carefully scanning my face, looking at all of our similar traits. We eventually caught each other's eyes, and started to stare, like we were looking for an explanation in the matching pair of eyes. We stayed like this for a bit, me kneeled down, him sitting, until very obnoxious laughter from both of us jolted us out of it. We both blushed, and shot up, quickly dusting ourselves off. We faced each other with wide smiles stretching across our faces, which was soon followed by loud laughter.
"Well, it's not every day you find a look-a-like, huh?" The stranger said laughing, smoothing down the back of his head.
I nodded my head vigorously in agreement before adding, "We should show my brother! This would freak him out more than us!"
The nice sounding stranger chuckled once more and said, "Well first, let's make each other's acquaintance. Hello. I'm Alfred F. Jones. It's a pleasure to meet you, miss." He got a hold of my hand, and slightly bowing his head, he lightly kissed my knuckles. I felt a slight increase in temperature when he kissed my hand, because I thought people stopped doing that once I became 13.
Slightly stammering, I responded, "M-my name is Amelia Williams. The pleasure is all mine." I smiled at the stran-I mean Alfred- once again when he raised his head. He gave me a small smile before taking my arm and placing it on his.
Most likely noting my confused expression, he inquired, "Were we still going to find this brother of yours? I take it you didn't forget?" His expression on his face was almost demeaning, and I started scowling, about to respond in an Alice-like manner, when I saw the twinkle in his eye.
I smirked and responded with a voice much more posh than mine is naturally, "Well, yes. That was the plan. Shall we be off, Mr. Jones?"
Alfred, following my lead, followed up with, "Right you are, Ms. Williams! Off we go!"
The two of us wound up visiting every little amusement my small town had to offer at this parade, shocking people with our faces and laughing our hearts out. We weren't able to find Matthew in the end, but we did find a new friend in each other during that fair.
Alfred and Amelia finally meet.
