Chapter 8
"A-A-Alicia…"
Alicia continued to shake me while I started to cry once more.
"Damn it Fate. Stop crying like a freaking baby already and tell me what happened. I came here to visit my twin sister after a long while and all I could see is…"
She then let go of my collar while pushing me back causing me to land on my bed painfully. I let out a groan from the impact.
"Alicia…Alicia…Alicia…" I started calling out to her.
"Damn it Fate. Whatever happened to you to reduce you to an emotional freak like this?" Alicia stated and sat at the corner of my bed. She then reach over and pulled me into a gentle embrace.
All I could do was to call out her name and sob like a baby. Oh how the mighty has fallen.
"Shh it's okay. It's okay." She then gently patted me on my back.
"P-ple-please d-do-don't call mom…" I told her between sobs.
"Fine but calm down already and tell me what happened." She told me with a soothing voice all the while she continuously pat my back.
I started to relax a bit in her embrace and without knowing it. I fell asleep just like that nestled on Alicia's warm embrace. But I remember hiccupping a small thank you before completely succumbing to sleep.
The next time I opened my eyes I felt strangely more relax and refreshed. It's probably because of Alicia's shaking or probably because now I have someone who could slap me back to shape.
I sat up in bed and I look out the window. It was starting to get dark. I could see the last streak of light from the setting sun. Then I heard the door opened.
"I see. So you're awake now. Fate" I didn't look Alicia's way but I nodded my head in acknowledgement.
"Have you calmed down yet?" still not looking I nodded my head.
"Then can you tell me what this is all about? I came to give you a surprise visit but instead you were the one who surprised me. You should have seen how Hayate came running into me and almost tearfully shouting how happy she is to see you walking without a care to the world but then she realized that I wasn't you and she embarrassedly run away without explaining everything." I then heard her sighed.
I then looked her way and smiled weakly. Alicia just gave me the look that said you've got to be kidding me explain now or you're dead meat. I let a sighed out and motioned for her to come closer. She then sat at the corner of the bed closer to where I lay. I let the silence engulf us for a minute as I try to compose myself before I start the tale of how I broke my heart.
It took me a little while to compose myself and I know that as patient as Alicia look she was nearing her limit at me and would soon beat me to a pulp if I don't start talking.
So I started my tale as soon as I saw her shift in her position. I told her about how I met Nanoha and how kind she treated me until the night at the party then came my confession and how Nanoha reacted and the rest is as they say history.
All throughout my story telling Alicia remained uncharacteristically silent. It made me wonder what she thought about all this.
A few minutes later Alicia shifted in her position to look straight at me.
"Fate you do realize that you never really told her what you felt right? That you love her right."
"Does that even matter now? She wouldn't even let me hold her more so to explain myself fully to her?" I felt the corner of my eyes burn with the tears I'm trying to not shed.
"Okay sis chill. Please stop with the water works already. I think this Nanoha girl just got shock and that is why she acted like that. You did say she was a fan right."
"Yes but wouldn't it be the other way around? Shouldn't she feel more like jumping in happiness and not like how Nanoha reacted?"
"Tsk tsk tsk Fate. She was definitely just shock and besides she does have the right to act like that. I mean why don't you put yourself in her position and think huh. You pick up a strange girl from the street who passed out from hunger and brought her to your apartment and you put trust in her to let her stay there alone. Then you became close, so close that you even sleep in the same bed then said stranger somehow manage to bring you to your idols VP and somehow you managed not to shake your idols hands only to find out that your date is actually your idol. If she wasn't shock then I don't know what else she could be."
I was silent as I contemplate all that Alicia had said. It does make some sense. It brought a little hope back at me but as quickly as it came, it had gone.
"But the fact remained that she hates me now."
I lowered my head as hope slowly left again.
"She did slap me after all." I said softly.
"FATE TESTAROSSA! This is not the way we TESTAROSSA's do things. I'll be ashamed to call you my twin if you continue to act all negative. How about this? If you don't smarten up I'll call mom back here or you could smarten up and I could help you get this Nanoha chick you like so very much. Besides how did you know she hates you? Are you her?"
That totally made me looks up at her and gasped.
"Really will you really help me with Nanoha?"
"Yes of course sis. Nobody snobs a Testarossa especially us twins." That finally made me smile and giggle.
"Now that's the Fate I came to visit. Finally I got my twin back." She proudly exclaimed while putting her hand in front of her chest.
Feeling a lot better I decided to tease her.
"So nobody snobs a Testarossa ay…So says the girl who keep on being snob by Hayate."
"Mou Fate. You know I'm still working on that." I faked an incredulous look at her.
"Really but it's been a year and nothings still happening…" I ask innocently feeling so much better than before.
Alicia opened and closed her mouth like she was trying to say something then she just humped and look away with a blush staining her cheeks. Do I look like that when I'm teased? No wonder Hayate and Nanoha won't stop teasing me, we look adorable. It made me giggle.
"Mou stop teasing me. I can't believe you're teasing me when you were acting all emo just awhile ago. Fine I'll forgive you since your smiling again." She then looked at me with a soft and fond look in her eyes which I returned.
"Thank you Alicia…"
"No prob sis."
"So what's your plan?"
She had a thinking post for a minute then she looked at me. She then gave me a Cheshire cat like smile that oddly remained me of a plotting Hayate. She then walked towards the bed and whispered her plans which made my heart pound like a drum while my eyes almost bulge out of its sockets.
"I never knew you were such a romantic Alicia. It makes me wonder why Hayate keep on snubbing you when you could think of something like this. But do you think this will work?" I looked at her in awe.
"Oh come on Fate. You're a rock star. No one can resist your charms especially if she's a fan."
"Correction she USED to be a fan. I doubt she still is."
"Come on Fate think positive and besides how'd you know she isn't one anymore. I believe she is still your fan and I can prove it with this plan and maybe just maybe after this she wouldn't be just a fan" Alicia then wink at me.
"I just hope you're right."
"So first step of the plan is for you to rest and recover your strength. I'll be doing the rest while you rest. Rest assured my twin that after the night our plan is done you and that chick will be one sweet bakacouple hahahaha…"
"What!" That sure made me blush like never before.
