A/N: English is not my first language; feel free to point out the mistakes I made.
Too many OC fics at the moment. Too many MarySues.
I demand that you review. Flames are forbidden. If you flame me I'm going to cry on my mother's lap…
To Shizuka Hirose : Thanks for your review! Well I think it's the first time someone tells me that he/she likes the Sue more than Sakuno. I'm really surprised about it…
Why are you here?
She turned around just to see her parents… They didn't seem to be really happy… Her father was holding her cell phone. He was frowning and her mother was staring at her through her Dolce & Gabana glasses. They didn't say a single word. Her father grabbed her hand and dragged her outside the manor. Her mother followed them as quickly as possible. It's not really easy to run wearing stiletto heeled shoes.
They reached the huge marble fountain. The man sat on a bench and lit a cigarette while waiting for his wife to join them. Little Marie was puzzled. She didn't expect her parents to come. In fact they had told her that they wouldn't be able to make it because of some business meeting in Sweden. She arrived, panting as if she had run a marathon. She sat next to her husband, opened her purse, took a Dior lipstick and applied it on her lips. She put it back in her purse and closed it.
"Marie Lavinia Huberta Sarah Geneviève, do you know why we were forced to postpone our business meeting to come to this engagement party?"
"No mother. Maybe Keigo asked you to be here tonight."
"Indeed he did ask us to come but we declined because of our business meeting."
"Oh then I don't know. But I am sure you refused to come for another reason. We are talking about the Atobe family. You never refused to go to one of their parties before."
"Maybe we refused to come because our plan to unite our families failed. You knew how much important it was and you refused. See the result ! Keigo is now engaged to four men and to a lovely young woman. All his wealth could have been yours. But hell no! You'd rather hunt down your classmates…"
"I don't understand…"
"You don't understand. Your mother and I had to come because you don't know how to behave. You have fired three secretaries, a dozens of maid, spent a lot of money on stupid things since you are in Japan. Do you remember why I agreed to let you come here?"
"Because I'm your only daughter and because you love a lot."
"Not at all. I had hoped you would get close to Keigo and do your best to get engaged to him."
"I don't like him. Charles Edouard Pierre Yves could marry his cousin. I learnt that Ayaka is still single."
"For God's sake they are not even five. Moreover your little brother will marry the young princess of Luxembourg."
"So why did you come?"
Mrs De La Grange sighed and took some powder to powder her nose.
"My dear Marie we thought we could trust you. We are here to put your life back on track…"
"… It means no more pocket money. You'll get only 1000 euros instead of the 10 000 you used to get. You are no longer allowed to use the limo and the jet. You'll have to take peasants' planes and the Bentley."
"But Mother, the Bently is grey…"
"So what? Moreover your way of getting dressed will have to change."
She stood up and started to walk back to the manor. Her husband did just the same but Marie grabbed him by the sleeves of his Armani suit.
"Pray Father, were you and Mother pulling my leg?"
"Not at all… Let's go back!"
"Yes Father. Oh by the way did you bring a dress so that I can change myself?"
"Why would we do that?"
He shook his arm and joined his wife. Marie was glued to the ground. She seemed to be brain dead. Her parents refused to help her. Worse they treated like the worst human being to have ever existed. It wasn't what she expected…
Mr. and Mrs. De La Grange were back in the manor. They entered the dining room. Atobe Yoko smiled at them and gestured for them to come and sit. Atobe's mother was such a scary woman. They sat and started to eat just like the other guests. Marie entered the room soon after her parents and she went back to her seat. At first she intended to make a fuss but she saw her mother's glare and thus decided to eat her lobster soup like the well behaved girl she wasn't.
Between the appetizers and the main course they stood up to congratulate the bride to be as well as the grooms to be. They, then, went to apologize to all their daughter's victims. It surprised everybody but it mortified their dear daughter who wanted to creep under the table. Sakuno was smirking. She was really pleased. Tomoka was smiling and Kirihara couldn't help leaping for joy.
Who would have thought that her parents would be sensible? Nobody and especially not Yanagi and Inui. They were more surprised than the others. They took their data books out of nowhere and scribbled furiously in them.
What about Michael James or James Michael? Nobody cares about him so making a mistake in his name isn't a big deal… He was hiding behind a huge marble column. He didn't want Marie's parents to see him. They would gladly send him back to jail because they believed what their horrible daughter said.
Atobe saw and helped him to exit the manor. He handed him a piece of paper before letting him go…
After that the dinner went on and on and on. It was one of the longest dinners hosted by the Atobe family. They ate and drank more than a normal human being should but nobody cared. They were here to party and that's what they intended to do.
It was nearly 11pm when the ball started…
A/N : I like her parents a lot… Poor Sue. No more jet or limo, no more pink… How will she survive? I still have some evil ideas to make her suffer so stay tuned….
