Series: Megaman X (MXZ2) Chapter: 10
Zero entered the dorm and straight into the shower. After his shower he walked out of the bathroom and changed. He looked at the clock on the desk. "Hmm...still have half an hour...What's this?" Zero noticed the little red book and picked it up. His eyes widened and he whispered "No...She didn't" He threw the book against the wall and thought. Megazero, how could you read something like this? You have no right! Zero stomped outta the room.
X entered the dorm; with a disappointed look on his face. "Grrr...I hate Dr. Cain's lectures...It was just 30 minutes late. I mean it's not like Zero; his are 30 days late." X sighed and his eyes moved to the journals last location and he yelled to himself. "The book! Where'd it go!" He scanned the room and saw it damaged on the other side of the room. He ran to it and picked it up. Oh no...did Zero come while I was away? Shit...
"So Axl what do you think?" Megazero asked as she walked out of Axl's bathroom in a small black dress. Her hair was dark brown and curled. Her eyes had black eye shadow and her eyelashes had blue mascara and she had red lipstick on her lips. She spun around and begun to lose her balance with her new high heels. Axl laughed and replied.
"Gorgeous and VERY graceful." Megazero winked and asked.
"Do you think Zero will notice me?" Axl grinned and said.
"Megazero, you're stunning, every man in the room will notice you for sure." Megazero rolled her eyes and grinned.
"I mean will Zero or Iris recognize me?" Axl shook his head.
"I barely recognize you and I know it's you." Megazero laughed and nodded. She tried walking straight and natural but only ended up wobbling and trying to keep her balance. Axl took her arm and tried helping her out but she couldn't get to the door.
"You know what? Screw it!" She took the high heels off and followed Axl out of his dorm; barefoot.
They got into her car and drove off. Axl was staring at the traffic ahead and asked.
"How do you know where Zero and Iris are headed?" Megazero smiled and replied.
"I asked X to ask Zero and besides Iris can't keep her mouth shut and she gave me the whole night's plans and it's locations. Trying to get me jealous, Ha Ha!" Axl raised an eyebrow and asked.
"Are you jealous?" Megazero turned a little red. Axl wasn't sure if it was from embarrassment or anger.
"Hell yeah I'm jealous. Not only does she give me a hard time at work! But now she's going into my personal life too!" Axl shrugged and laughed a little.
"I knew you would be."
Megazero slammed the car door as Axl got out. She leaned against the door as she put on her high heels. She walked (or should I say wobbled?) to Axl and adjusted his tie and ran her hands through his hair. "Are you ready, Axl?" Axl smiled and nodded.
"Only if you are, I mean this is for you." Megazero nodded back and replied.
"Alright then let's go!" They walked up to the entrance and were escorted to a table. Megazero looked around and noticed that Zero and Iris were on the other side.
"Excuse me; may we please have a table over there?" The waiter looked over to where she was pointing and nodded.
"Right away, Miss." They followed the man to a table with the perfect view for spying Zero's table. The waiter pulled the seat out for Megazero and waited for her to sit. He left after he pushed her chair in. Megazero giggled as she looked to her right and said.
"Perfect! I can see them very nicely, how about you?" Axl looked at them and nodded in agreement. The menus were placed in front of them and Megazero quickly ordered the first thing on the menu. "I'll have the house special." She handed him her menu and returned to her spying. Axl scanned the list and ordered as well. The waiter took their orders and left.
"So, you think we can pull a quick one if they try something?" Axl looked over and shrugged.
"I don't know, maybe." Axl looked at Megazero and sighed. Megazero noticed his change of voice. Megazero reached over, took his hand and asked.
"What's wrong?" Axl looked at their hands; blushing he shook his head and laughed a little again.
"Nothing, nothing's wrong. Why?"
"I thought your tone of voice change." Axl shook his head.
"Nope." He looked up at the waiter, who was bringing their meals to the table. Iris was laughing and she held a fork with food in it for Zero to try. Zero smiled and took her offer. Megazero looked at her plate. There was a clear forest green liquid all over her plate with dark brown little shells on her plate." Megazero smiled and asked as she pointed to her plate.
"Um….what's this?" The waiter replied.
"The restaurants specialty; Escargot dipped in garlic." Megazero blinked a few times and looked at her plate again.
"Bonne Appetite." The waiter left and Megazero poked her plate's contents. Axl ordered a soup and was sipping it. He put his spoon down and looked up at Megazero.
"Never tried snails?" Megazero made a face and replied.
"Is that what I ordered? I had no idea…Mmmmm….Snails….yummy!" Axl laughed and picked up her small fork and stabbed its shell.
"Delicious." Axl exaggerated. "Go on commander, eat it."
"I paid thirty dollars for things that I find in MHHQ backyard?"
Megazero and Axl walked out of the restaurant acting casually, a few minutes after Zero and Iris left. Once they saw Zero's red car drive out of the parking lot, Megazero took off her high heels and walked normally to her car. Axl followed quickly behind her. "Aren't you worried you're going to lose them?" Megazero smiled as she took her time unlocking her car.
"Nope, cause Iris said that they were going to the lake after dinner." She got in and turned the ignition on. "And the only lake close by is the Shinoru Lake." She put her seatbelt on and drove toward the lake.
"Oh Zero, this is so romantic of you to take me out on my birthday." Iris cooed as Zero turned the last corner of their destination. Zero continued to drive, without responding to Iris's words. Iris looked out the window and then she turned to Zero and tried taking his hand. "Zero? What's wrong? What are you thinking?" Zero snapped out of his thoughts and looked at Iris for a sec and then continued driving.
"Sorry, I was just thinking that's all." Iris nodded and looked straight ahead. Zero put his hand on her shoulder. "Hey don't worry it's nothing, okay? So don't let it bother you." Iris smiled and nodded in agreement. Zero parked his car and got out. He opened the door for Iris and walked with her to the lake. Few minutes later Megazero reached the lake and parked a few parking spaces away from Zero's car.
"Here we are; our last stop before going home." Axl said as he stepped out of the blue Soniku. Megazero got out and looked around. She immediately spotted his red sports car and walked over to it. She gave it a small hit with the back of her hand.
"Shall we go and see what they're up to?" Axl followed her down the path toward the lake.
"Hey Zero?" Iris stopped walking and sat down on a bench facing the lake. Zero looked at her and asked.
"What?" Iris motioned him to sit down.
"Thanks for taking me out. This is a night I'll never forget." Zero sat next to her and smiled. "It's almost perfect." Zero raised an eyebrow.
"Almost perfect?" Iris blushed and nodded.
"Yes, only one more thing could make this a perfect night." Zero looked at the star filled sky.
"And what would that be?" Iris looked at him and leaned towards him; closing her eyes and puckering her lips, Zero leaned in, slowly.
"Come on Axl. We need to find them." Megazero said as she held on to her high heels and tip toed along the cold asphalt. Axl scanned the area and pointed out to his right.
"There, I see them." Megazero looked at where his finger was pointing and saw Iris and Zero walking. They both watched Iris sit down, followed by Zero. Axl looked at Iris as she leaned towards Zero and quickly turned to Megazero. Megazero moved forward for a second and tried to say something. Zero slowly touched Iris's lips with his own. Axl watched her force a smile as she muttered.
"Let's go, Axl." Axl turned to Zero and Iris and then to Megazero. He began to follow her but quickly turned again to Zero and Iris. Iris leaned her head on Zero's shoulder as he gave her a tight squeeze.
"Mega, what happened? I thought you wanted to stop them." Megazero opened her car door and sat in. Axl got in and watched her say.
"They look happy together, don't they?" Axl stayed silent.
"I can't interrupt them. I just realized that Zero loves her and that's something I can never change. They're happy…Zero's happy and I guess that's all that really matters…" She backed out of her parking space; stopping, she turned to Axl. "Right?" Axl nodded and took her hand.
"Right. You're doing the right thing." Megazero and nodded, sadly.
"Even though I'm doing the right I feel so awf-" Megazero felt Axl's lips against hers. She didn't move, she couldn't nor did she try. Axl broke the kiss and faced the front of the car, blushing and trying not to look at Megazero's face. Megazero looked at him, still with her sad eyes. She pushed the gas pedal and began driving; neither of them said a word the whole way home.
A.N: Well the date's over and Megazero lost. Is this really the end for Zero and Megazero's past? Will she give up on Zero completely? Will she go on with life, hurting on the inside? Or will she speak out? Who knows? Until the next chapter! Bye! R&R
