I haven't updated in a while huh? Well here it is!
Reunion
Duck pov.
I giggled as I adjusted the pendant on my gray uniform dress. Taking one last Glance at myself in the mirror I smiled.
Ready!
"Duck! Come on!" I heard Fakir shout from the front door.
I placed my hands on my hips and stuck my tongue out.
He can be so impatient sometimes! Is it bad that I want to look presentable when I see my friends again? Well... I mean... that is if they remember me...
My eyes clouded with sorrow as I thought about the result that maybe I was wiped clean from their memories.
It was Fakir's second infuriated call that stirred me from my thoughts.
"Dammit, Duck were late now!"
On the first day?! I bolted out the guest room, stopping only to give a quick wave at Karon and met up with Fakir at the front door.
He frowned at me as I panted heavily with my hands on my knees.
"S-sorry i'm late YOUR HIGHNESS!" I breathe, gasping for air at the same time.
He scowled then looked at his watch disapprovingly. I saw his eyes widen before hastily grabbing my wrist and rushing out the door.
"Come on! Were late, Mr. Cat is going to throw a tantrum!" He shouted, gripping my wrist tightly but still gently.
I smiled as I ran, keeping pace with him. Finally, i'd be reunited and in this moment I would just be glad if I got to see my friends. If they didn't remember me then I'd MAKE them remember me! I'd even RE-introduce myself, as painful as that'd be. We would lose all our previous memories but at least we'd be together!
Caught up in my thoughts I tripped ever so gracefully over a rock.
"Ow..." I whimpered, falling to the hard concrete.
"Heh, you idiot." Fakir half-smiled, extending a hand to help me up.
I smiled and took it, realizing that hey... Atleast I still have Fakir right?
We approach the towering structure that is the ballet division and I gulp audibly.
Fakir hears and stops midway from opening the door.
"Don't worry, were both late so it's not like your alone." He whispers, before sliding the door open ever so slightly.
"MS. DUCK-!" I hear a familiar feline voice shout and I stiffen.
"If you insist on being tardy to my class...THEN I WILL HAVE YOU MARRY M-!"
Mr. Cat's voice faltered when he saw Fakir's face. After a long pause he proceeded to stalk off to the corner and viciously attack a ball of yarn.
I couldn't help but giggle a bit. I missed this so much! I hug myself and I hear Fakir whisper, "Hey, were not out of the woods yet! Quit laughing."
His comment made me laugh harder, until tears brimmed in my eyes and my sides began to hurt. Apparently laughter is infectious because soon Fakir joined in. I relished in the sound because I hear it so rarely.
By now the whole class' eyes were fixated on us having a laughing fit. A few people even joined in.
I was just so happy, so happy to have not been forgotten.
Mr. Cat eventually recollected himself from his little fit and continued, "Ahem, I would expect this behavior from Ms. Duck but Mr. Fakir, I am shocked." He scolded.
Fakir stopped laughing but a small smile lingered before he returned to his normal stoic face.
"Yes Mr. Cat." He replied, walking off to go change.
I scuttled off to go change as well and soon after I was outfitted in my milky white leotard, the red stone hanging from my neck.
I nervously entered the dance studio once more, looking for a place to sit. Instantly I felt two pairs of eyes on me and I turned to the sources. Pike and Lillie sat cross legged with stern looks on their faces. They were staring directly... at me? I even turned around once to look if anyone was behind me.
"Ms. Duck if you do not find a seat soon i'll drop you to the probationary class once more!" I heard Mr. Cat hiss.
"R-right..." I stuttered and abruptly trudged over to the two girls. I gulped and stared at their glaring faces. Why were they glaring at me like that? Was I gone from their memories?
I attempted to sit down before being tackled to the floor by both girls.
"DUCK! WHERE WERE YOU!?" They yelled in unison.
My eyes widened and i'm sure a myriad of emotions crossed my face. Shock, relief, then nervousness.
"Uh-I...umm..." I said real intelligently.
Pike rolled her eyes and pulled me up from the floor. Then both girls hugged me fiercely and I cried, out of pure happiness.
Sorry if it's a little mushy XD I'm a sucker for happy reunions :P
