Here's Chapter 9! (Ha! I came out with a great chapter title too!)
Meet The Steiners
Chapter 9
"A Date with Kuja Tribal!"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Kuja sat up in his bed. While still holding the letter from Lilly in his hands, Kuja was pondering. "How am I going to get out of this one?" Kuja asked himself as he had his left eye still glancing at the break up letter from Helena. "Ah! I got an idea." Kuja said as he got up from his bed and walked out. He slowly paced through Treno into the south side of town. "Maybe... just maybe." Kuja said as he walked into someone's house.
"Hey, Xavier! Are you home?" Kuja asked. "Yeah, man!" A voice responded as somebody came out from the hallway. "Xaiver, I'm so glad you're here." Kuja said as Xavier grinned. "Hmph. What seems to be the problem here?" He asked. "It's about Helena." "Yeah, what about her?" Xavier asked.
"She broke up with me."
"No way, man. What's up with this Steiner girl?" He brought it up as Kuja snorted out a laugh. "She wrote me a letter after Helena broke up with me. She must have known about this somehow. " Kuja said. "How did you figure that?" Xavier asked. "She tried to flirt with me. She purposely missed the train to Daguerreo after the Christmas Party last night. She stood next to me the whole time back to Treno." Kuja said. "How did it go?"
"It was horrible. She talked the whole way there. She wouldn't stop. Everyone kept staring." Kuja said as Xavier laughed. "Oh man... I guess I can work on her." Then Kuja thought of an idea. "Hey, come to think about it. I could use her." Kuja suggested. "Yeah, give her a good makeover and all. What for?" Xavier asked as Kuja slapped himself in the head. "To break Steiner and Beatrix up." Kuja said. "Oh... How's Trent doing?" Xavier asked. "He was fine until he woke up." Kuja spoke his words, which made Xavier laughed. "Well, we should go over there now." Xavier said as they walked out.
Later on
Kuja knocked on Trent's door as the door opened. It was Maggie, one of the twin sisters. "Kuja... Hey, cutie." She said as Kuja tapped her to the side. "Darlie?" Xavier said as Darlie came out with Trent. "Xavier. It's nice to see you again." Darlie said as she turned to Trent. Trent was still miserable from the Christmas party the previous night. He still got the bump on the back of his head and the black eye from Steiner. "Hey, boys. What's been happening?" Trent asked as Kuja smiled. "I have something in mind to get Steiner back." Kuja instantly got Trent's attention.
"Oh yes. What is it?" Trent asked. "Lilly." Kuja said. "What about her?" Trent asked as he finally remembered. "Oh, Steiner's ugly ass cousin..." Trent said as Kuja nodded his head. "Exactly." He said. "Are you going to kidnap her or something?" Trent asked. "No. I'm going to take advantage of her. Use her so I can get to Steiner and get rid of him." Kuja said as Trent filled up with joy. "Really? How come you didn't think about this earlier?" Trent asked as he got out a piece of paper, a pen and a bottle of ink. "Write to her now. Tell her you got a surprise for her. Give her whatever she wants, I'll give you just enough gil to help you out. Give her a makeover with it. Then you take it from there." Trent said as he retrieved a huge bag of gil and handed to Kuja.
Kuja started to write his letter:
Lilly,
Meet me at the front of Daguerreo at 5:00 PM today, I got something for you.
It's a surprise and I got to ask you something.
Your love,
Kuja
Kuja sealed it as a moogle came inside the house. "Any mail that needs to be sent out?" The moogle asked as Kuja wrote in the front of it. "Here." Kuja said as he gave the moogle 10 gil. "Thank you." The moogle said as he left. "Everything's going according to plan." Kuja said as he watched the moogle leave.
A few hours later in Daguerreo; 4:30 PM
Tori was cooking while she watched the kids play outside. Lilly was still out on the front porch as Aunt Steiner was trying to brush her hair." Stay still. You got knots in your hair and I can't brush your hair out. Lilly was squealing as her mother was tugging at her hair. "Owww... Mother. I can brush my own hair, you know." Lilly complained. "Yeah, but you end up not doing it." Aunt Steiner said as a moogle came around. "A letter for Lilly from Kuja!" the moogle said as Lilly's eyes lit up. This caught Paula's attention. "That's unusual." Paula thought to herself as ran downstairs to meet Lilly.
"I got a response." Lilly said as she showed Paula proof that Kuja wrote her back. "What does it say?" Paula said as Lilly opens up her letter. " Lilly, Meet me in front of Daguerreo at 5:00 PM, I got something for you..." Lilly never finished reading as she ran upstairs to get ready. "She's looks excited." Paula said as Aunt Steiner frowned. "He probably going to never show up. She's going to be upset." She said as Paula turned around. "What if he does show up?" Paula asked.
Lilly rushed through her room as she put on her favorite outfit. It was a short and tight flamingo pink dress. Lilly started to put make-up on as Paula came in. "Lilly, are you sure you are going to wear that?" Paula asked as Lilly stopped. "Let me help you." Paula said as she picked out another outfit. It was a tight black shirt with flare jeans and a sparkle chain belt. It looked good on Lilly. Now with the hair. Lilly picked up her brush but Paula took it out of her hands. "Let's make this easy." Paula said as she was using white magic to help her. "Hold still, this is a temporary hair remedy." She said as she cast the spell. This made Lilly's hair untangle and it became neat. "Ok, Let's put a beauty spell on you." She said as she put the finishing touches on Lilly. All she needed was make-up. Silver eye shadow, light pink lipstick and she was done. "Whew! All done." Paula was impressed as Lilly was on her way.
5:00 PM at The entrance of Daguerreo
Kuja was sitting on a bench as Lilly was slowly walking out. Kuja was unexpected to see this side of Lilly. "Well, it's about time you got here." Kuja said as Lilly smiled. Her teeth were different. (Someone must have put a beauty spell on her.) Kuja thought to himself as he cleared his throat. "How am I going to say this? Oh yeah, Lilly." Lilly looked at Kuja with her sparkling black eyes. "She looks more prettier than she usually looks. She's going to be hot when I'm done with her." Kuja thought as he smiled. "We are going on a date tonight so I am going to let you go shopping, give you a pretty makeover and even let you sleep at my mansion, if I'm in a really good mood." Kuja said as Lilly's eyes widen. "YEAHHHHH!" Lilly yelled out as it echoed throughout Daguerreo. "I guess she's happy." Tori said as Paula smiled. Lilly smiled as Kuja had his hand on his forehead. "Ok... Let's get going." Kuja said as his airship arrived. "Let's go then." Lilly said as Kuja had an evil grin on his face.
The airship was smoothing across Gaia as Lilly glanced at the view. "It's beautiful." She said as Kuja was sitting next to her. "Oh yeah, what was that question you were going to ask?" Lilly asked. "I'm going to get to that later, but I'm going to tell you this. I'm taking you out for the day. Have your fun and don't worry. It's all on me." Kuja said as Lilly looked at him. "Kuja, let me ask you this. Are you using me? Just because you are against my cousin?" Lilly asked. Kuja was surprised. "Of course not. I did this on my own free will." Kuja lied as Lilly was pleased. "Are you lying to me?"
"No."
They finally arrived at Treno as they walked into Kuja's mansion. "You got a nice place. It's like a palace." Lilly said as Hairdressers, Make-up artists, Photographers, and Clothes experts came out. "Are you ready for your treatment?" Kuja asked Lilly as she shook her head. "You're getting a makeover and a spa treatment before you are going shopping. I don't want to hear it either." Kuja said as he walked out. "Ms. Steiner, are you ready?" The spa specialist asked as Lilly was in complete shock. She never done something like this before. She was being treated like a princess.
It took the workers a few hours to work on Lilly. Take took her off the beauty spell. It was a disaster. Her teeth came screwed up again as they ordered a dentist to come in to fix it. Her teeth were brand new and better than what the beauty spell did. Then the clothes experts gave her formal clothes, and casual clothes that looked really good. After that, The hairdresser straightened her curly hair. The straightness gave her a better look. Then the make up artists took care of her, and then she had a special old-fashioned photo shoot. Afterwards, she had a spa treatment.
Hours later, she was presented to Kuja. This gave him a real shock. She was the one that became perfect. She looked so much better than Helena did. "Wonderful. This is much better." Kuja approved, as Lilly was feeling perfect. "Now, me and this lovely lady will go out for a formal dinner." Kuja said. Lilly was sent to change. Kuja stood downstairs with a Tuxedo on as He saw Lilly come out. She was wearing a fancy ballroom dress. It was light pink with sparkles. She had her hair up in a bun with two bangs curled. She looked amazing. She greeted Kuja as they went to a fancy ball dance in Treno.
They arrived as Ushers helped Kuja and Lilly inside the dance. Kuja looked around until he saw Xavier, Trent, Darlie, and the twin sisters. Everyone stared at Lilly. "She's beautiful." They said as she passed right by them. This was the place where high society belonged. "Hello, Lilly." Xavier said as he greeted her with a hug. "Hello, dear." Darlie said as Trent was grinning at her. Lilly shivered when Trent took her hand. Did something make Lilly uncomfortable or was it Trent? "Perfect." Trent thought to himself as he kissed Lilly's hand. "You look lovely tonight, Ms. Steiner." Trent said as Lilly smiled. Trent was impressed by the way she looked. She sat down as the twin sister snarled at her. Trent signed them. "Don't do that!" He whispered as the twin sisters stopped.
Dinner was served. "How's your life been going, Xavier?" Trent asked as he talked to Xavier. "How is it going at Daguerreo, Lilly?" Darlie asked as everybody was listening. "Same as ever. The old country life, ma'am." Lilly said as Darlie smiled as she was eating her fancy salad. Lilly was trying her best by using her manners and it was not working. Soon they went out to the dance floor as Kuja kindly was dancing with Lilly. He didn't know how good of a dancer she was. She was better than Helena was.
When the night calmed down and they finished dining. Kuja took a stand. "Can we have some time alone?" Kuja asked as they all agreed. "Yeah, alone." Trent said sarcastically as he was pulled away by Darlie. "Did you have a wonderful night?" Kuja asked. "Yes I did." Lilly said as Kuja took her hand. "You were wonderful tonight. Now I need to ask you this." Kuja said. "Oh I forgot about that question." Lilly said in her country tone. Kuja lightly laughed. "Lilly, would you like to be my girl?" Kuja asked as Lilly was in complete shock. She couldn't even speak. "Yes... Yes, Kuja Tribal. I'll love to be your girl." Lilly said as Kuja kissed her hand. "Shall we leave now?" Kuja asked as Lilly nodded her head. They left the ballroom as they were having a romantic ride back to the mansion. "It's a starry sky out." Lilly said as she looked at Kuja.
He grinned as he put his arm around her. "Now since you are my girl... You'll be staying with me for the night." Kuja said as Lilly's eyes were shining black. "Lilly... I love you." Kuja said as her heart soared. She kissed him lightly on cheek as he turned his head. The moon was glowing on their faces as Kuja brought his lips against hers. They broke the kiss.
"I love you, Kuja Tribal."
