"Speech over phone or terminal"

Feldt

Sumeragi and Feldt sat in Eric's, Feldt blushing as her mother smirked at her, asking teasingly, "Well, look at that pretty ring. Where did you get it?" Despite feeling giddy from the previous night after Setsuna proposed, she felt the normal frustration at dealing with the brown-haired woman.

Feldt mock glared at her, "I was wondering where that went. And did you come to the city just to give it to Setsuna?"

Sumeragi shook her head, "It may shock you, but I do actually have business in the city. The fact that I ran into Setsuna was a lucky break. I was going to message him to get him to meet me, but it was funny to see him leave a jewelry store looking defeated." Sumeragi smirked at her, "I see you had a good night." Sumeragi pointed at the side of her own neck.

Feeling the side of her neck, Feldt blushed, pulling out a mirror, showing she had a hickey on her neck. 'Damnit, I thought I got all of them. But I won't let her teasing get to me this time.' Feldt just smiled as she took a sip of her coffee, "You could say that. I am a bit tired from last night."

Sumeragi put a hand over her heart, her voice full of fake worry, "What happened to the girl that would blush every time I even mentioned the word sex? Has Setsuna corrupted you? Or was it Christina?"

Feldt just laughed at that, "That girl began to actually have sex and learned to like it. I remember you saying that might happen."

Sumeragi scratched the side of her head, "When was that? I can't remember."

Feldt let out a sigh, "The time you tried to give me the talk when you were drunk. You were certainly…animated."

Sumeragi grinned, "Oh, I vaguely remember that. You wouldn't look at me the next day."

Feldt shrugged her shoulders, "I can't say that I didn't listen to none of the advice. You just skipped over the basics and went right to the more advanced stuff, which didn't work for fourteen-year-old me. I certainly use it now with Setsuna." Feldt then blushed, embarrassed, "Also you kept poking me in the chest, saying that I would grow a chest like my mother and I should use them to get men."

"That certainly sounds like me." The two women laughed and Sumeragi looked at Feldt softly, "I am happy you found Setsuna. He is a good man and I think he will be a good husband."

Feldt blushed as she smiled, "Yeah, I really love him. We both got lucky."

Sumeragi gave the pink-haired woman a serious look, "Have you two talked about having children?"

Feldt nodded, "Yeah. Setsuna says he's not too picky, just not more than four."

Sumeragi looked shocked, "Oh, four? That would be bold."

Feldt scratched the back of her head, smiling softly, "Well I wouldn't be complaining too much. I sometimes wished I had grown up with siblings, so I want at least two kids. After that, we'll play that by ear."

Sumeragi nodded at that, "Well that seems like a good place to be at. At least you two agree on that. Me and Emilio had…arguments about that." Sumeragi's face fell into a slight frown after saying her former fiance's name.

Feldt looked at her warmly, putting one of her hands over Sumeragi's, "You guys would have agreed on something."

Sumeragi gave her an appreciative grin, "Thank you. Even if I could have had kids with him, I wouldn't have traded that for you." The brown-haired woman smiled sadly, "Just don't forget I'm always there for you."

Feldt gave Sumeragi a warm look, "You will always be my mom. Don't forget that. There will always be things that I will come to you about."

Sumeragi began to tear up a little, before she wiped the tears away, "It's good to know I have such a good child." Her eyes then became mischievous, "Before this becomes too sappy, I have questions. How did he propose? When we met, he didn't seem to have a plan."

Feldt returned her grin, "He definitely didn't. We were just watching TV and then the box fell out of his pocket and I got to it before he did."

"I bet he was embarrassed."

"Well he was, but he recovered quickly. He gave a speech, said I was best woman in the world…" Feldt began to tear up as she continued, "He got on his knee and…" Her voice trailed off, emotions flowing through her as she beamed at her adopted mom.

Sumeragi rested her head on her hand, "He really makes you happy, huh?"

Feldt held back her happy tears, "Yeah, he does. He really does."

Feldt

Feldt sat down on the couch, her phone in front of her. She knew she had to inform Christina about her getting engaged, but she didn't know if she was ready for the pure energy that her best friend was going to have. 'Oh well, here we go.'

Pressing the video call button, the phone rang for a few seconds before Christina's face appeared, beaming brightly at her. Christina was wearing a blue bathrobe, looking like she was sitting on her bed. Christina spoke happily, "Hey there! Nice to see you! What are you calling about? Any juicy gossip?"

Feldt rolled her eyes, "If I had gossip, do you think I would tell you?"

Christina pouted, "Well no, but I was hoping I could maybe catch you. Don't you want to make your friend happy?"

Feldt gave her a flat look, "The last time I gave you any gossip, you didn't let it go for a month."

Christina frowned, "I see you will continue being mean." The brown-haired woman's frown turned into a smile, "So why are you calling? Not that I don't want to talk to you, but it seems weird to call me now."

Feldt blushed as she smiled, bringing the ring up to the camera, "Setsuna proposed!"

Christina looked at the ring, her eyes widening before letting out a scream, forcing Feldt to move the phone away from her face. After a few moments, Christina calmed down, her voice full of enthusiasm, "I'm so excited for you! Setsuna is a lucky guy!"

Feldt blushed at the words as Christina continued, "And it's a beautiful ring that even matches your hair! He has good taste!"

Feldt, moving the camera back closer to her face, blushing more intensely, "Thanks. And it's actually my mom's engagement ring. It's a family heirloom."

Christina grinned, "Well your family had good taste."

Feldt scratched the back of her head, "Some people might say the proposal's too soon…"

Christina narrowed her eyes a little, "He didn't get you pregnant, right? I mean I know he would take responsibility, but if he did, I would have words for him."

Feldt rolled her eyes, "I'm not pregnant. It wasn't even planned." She proceeded to tell her old roommate and best friend about the accidental proposal. Feldt chuckled a little seeing the brown-haired woman begin to tear up.

"That's so romantic! I wished I could have seen it." Christina then chuckled, "I can't imagine how embarrassed he was when it dropped out of his pocket."

Feldt shook her head, smiling warmly, "I forgot how much of a romantic you were. And it was very Setsuna when I think about it. I wouldn't have it any other way."

Christina smirked at her, "Well I wonder what he would have done if that didn't happen, but I suppose it will always be that. Lichty still laughs at how much he over planned his." Christina's eyes glinted with mischief, "So did you…'reward' him for that? I did the same for Lichty and it was the best night I've had in a long time."

Feldt flushed while smirking at that, "Well let's just say that we didn't get to bed till very late."

Christina grinned at her, "I like the new you! So much more confident and sexier."

Feldt's eyebrow raised, "Sexier?"

"There's nothing sexier than confidence. Why do you think I'm the sexiest woman in the world?"

Feldt rolled her eyes at her friend, "I think it all went to your head." Christina stuck her tongue out at her old roommate.

Christina's eyes then widened as a question came into her mind, "Oh, thinking about weddings, did you and Setsuna set a date?"

Feldt shook her head, "Not yet. He only proposed yesterday. I'll keep you up to date on that."

"Good! Because I am going to be you maid of honor and I will fight anyone else who tries to claim that position."

Feldt laughed at that, "Don't worry, I wasn't thinking of anyone else but you. I have to pay you back for you making me your maid of honor."

Christina nodded her head, "You two are good for our wedding?"

"Of course! I wouldn't miss your wedding for the world!" Feldt quietly laughed to herself, "It's the wedding year, isn't it? First Saji and Louise's, then yours and Lichty's, and finally mine."

Christina sighed, "It's the year of love! And I did always want a white wedding."

Feldt heard a knock at the door, "Sorry, I've got to go! It was nice to talk to you and I'll probably call you soon. See ya!"

Christina smiled at her, "Talk to you later!" The call dropped, leaving Feldt alone in the house. 'I can't wait to be married!'
