"Idiots! All of you! UGH!" Ilen grunted while the girls were dressing her up in a blue gown and even giving her some makeup.
"Oh Ilen, why can't you enjoy the moment for once? It's really fun!" Celina said.
"Obviously, I freaking hate it..." Ilen slumped. She was held back by Genny so she can't escape.
"Have you tortured her like this before, sis?" Cecelia asked.
"Of course! All the time!" Celina giggled.
"SCREW THIS! I'M OUTTA HERE!" Ilen angrily released from Genny's grip and ran past the boys straight to the outdoors.
"Ilen, were they torturing you again?" Yamato asked.
"As usual..." Ilen attempted to rub all the makeup off, immediately takes off the dress, almost tearing it off, and put on her usual clothes that were hanging up to dry.
"...Right now I think they're torturing Terry like this at the moment, I just saw."
"Just leave it, he looks better in that than I do." Ilen laughs a bit until she hears a fight between Milanie and someone she mustve apparently knew before.
"Huh? Mila's in trouble!" Yamato shrieked a little.
"Well then, let's get to her!" Both she and Yamato ran into the scene and saw Mialnie with an unfamiliar older guy. "Huh?"
"Don't worry about anything, pretty girl, let me take you away." The older boy cooed at Mila.
"Stop it, Rian, c-can't you see I'm taken?!"
"She knows him?" Yamato asked himself.
Ilen began wondering about this guy despite the seriousness of the situation "...Just who is Rian...?"
"Doesn't matter! Nobody flirts with my sister when her heart belongs to Li!" Yamato immediately rushed in the scene and steps right in front on Milanie. "Hey now, leave her alone!"
"Yamato!" Ilen screamed a little worried. She's concerned that he'll get hurt now that he got into Rian's way.
"Brother?" Mila whispered, also concerned.
"Step aside and let me just get to her." Rian glared.
"DIDN'T SHE TELL YOU THAT SHE'S TAKEN?!" The catboy yelled. The only answer he got is getting shoved aside harshly. Ilen ran up to him asking him if he's alright.
"That jerk never takes no for an answer, doesn't he?" Yamato tries to get up but Ilen holds him down.
"Stop, you're overdoing it. Let me handle it this time..." Ilen gets up and walks up to Rian from behind, poking him on the back.
Rian became even more annoyed, "Ugh, stop bothering me, stupid kid, I'm trying to score her here!"
"I-I-Ilen?" Mila became surprised seeing Ilen.
"Score? Please, what's the point of scoring a girl who's not even available?!" Ilen yells angrily.
"Just shut up and leave me alo-"
Suddenly, Mila ran and hugs Ilen tightly. "Oh Ilen, my love, we'll never be seperated again!"
"W-WHA?" Rian was shocked.
Ilen never expected this at all, but by the milisecond after her reaction, she already figured that Mila was doing this plan to avoid anymore attempts from Rian. "Y-Yes, you're interfering with my girlfriend, so stay back! SHE'S MINE!"
Ilen picks Mila up bride-style and runs away with her.
What the hell just happened? Yamato was confused.
Meanwhile with the girls, Ilen puts Mila down and tells to her.
"Now go! Hide! So Rian won't find you! I'll be your cover."
"Thank you so much, Ilen!" Mila hugs Ilen and ran off into the Cafe to lock herself in her room.
Meanwhile back with Rian.
"That can't be..." He sighed in disappointment.
"I guess Mila suddenly went off for the lesbian side."
"Wait, what?" Rian reacted strongly. "So Mila..." He starts figuring about the "boy" he came across. He curiously goes after Ilen.
The tomboy was met with a glare from Rian. I bet he's mad that he thinks Mila's taken with me. She thought nervously.
He quickly puts his arms around her shoulders.
Ilen hesitated. "Don't ever hurt me. I-"
"Hm... you..."
"What?"
"I found that you're a girl." Rian concluded. Those words made Ilen blush a whole lot.
"H-How did you figure-"
"Enough with that, are you REALLY together with my Mila?"
"...For one, no, she's not my girlfriend. And second, she's not gonna be yours either!"
"Just tell me where she went!"
"Over there!" Ilen pointed at a random direction at the East of Cowtoon. Falling for her trick easily, Rian ran off to that direction.
"Phew, I'm glad that's over with..." Ilen was relieved. Curiously, she went inside to check on Mila to tell her she's safe.
"Thank you so much, Ilen!" Mila said gladly.
"Of course, that's what friends are for! I sure hope he stays away." But in the back of Ilen's mind, she knows she's gonna face trouble for actually lying to Rian. She didn't show Mila that she's worried. "Now, stay in here just in case he comes back, okay?"
"Right!"
"Kay, see ya later!" Ilen leaves. On her way out, she saw Terry hiding. Thanks to the girls, he's wearing makeup and jewelry, and he's wearing a pink dress.
"We both went through the same pain today, don't we?"
"Yeah... I guess, welcome to my world." Terry replied.
Ilen nodded. Suddenly she heard the wrecking going on. And... Rian's voice. Just as she's afraid of! She ends up running outside to the commotion anyway.
"THAT LITTLE JERK LIED TO ME! WHERE'S MILANIE?!" Rian screamed whole punching the building wall.
Ilen knew this is coming. Awww shi-
"YOU!" The older male grabbed Ilen by the shirt and lifted her in the air. "TELL ME WHERE MILANIE IS OR YOU WILL GET A BEATING OF A LIFETIME!"
Ilen was usually keeping her cool... but not in this case. "I... I..."
Yamato runs in, trying to help with the situation. "HEY! DON'T THREATEN IL-" He got kicked away and fell into the ground.
"YAMATO!" She yelled, concerned.
"NOW WHERE IS MY PRETTY GIRL!? TELL ME THE TRUTH AND NOTHING BUT IT!" Rian yells at Ilen angrily.
"NEVER!" Ilen screamed back. He shakes her vigorously and shoves her back right into the wall, causing her a little pain. She tries enduring this pain, though close to giving in.
"TELL ME!"
"I'M NOT ONE TO GIVE UP THAT EASILY!" Even though what she said just came out of her mouth, she started feeling tears coming out of her eyes and she's blushing. She had no idea why she started becoming this vulnerable all of the sudden.
"THAT'S IT!" Rian puts Ilen down but forcably drags her into a lightless room. He pins her roughly against the wall. "I will do ANYTHING to make you tell me where my pretty girl is!"
"J-Just try...!" Ilen became weaker and weaker by every second, mentally. She ended up crying, letting the tears fall from her face.
Rian only became calm and silent for a moment and looked at Ilen. She looked back, seeing the anger in this eyes, but she also sees what's more in him. She blushed more just seeing into that. "R...Rian...?"
Rian smirked and kisses her on the cheek. She closed her eyes, taking in the weird feeling when he just did that to her. He parted his lips from her cheek. "Now... where is my pretty girl."
"I-In her room..." Ilen let out, panting a little, crying a bit, and still blushing.
"Good." He pats her on the head and finally let go of her. She slides down laying on the floor, panting.
"Ilen, are you alright?" Yamato came into the room, concerned of Ilen.
"I'm fine, Yamato, don't worry..." She gets up and places a hand on her cheek where Rian kissed. "...Rian..."
