A/N: Oooooooooooooooooh yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeah… I'm on the sixth chappy…………………
ANYWAYS, this story is starting to get to the good part. (I think so
anyways) The kinkiness continues! But first, a word of thankies…
To Nips: Yes they shall meet the real Isaac soon… :) Yay! (I wuv widdle Izers…)
To XT-Zealot: WAHHHH! (Ca's kitty slaps her upside the head and mews something) Wha…? Okay, I suppose I'll get over the brick thing… Wouldn't ya think that seiyans (argh, spelling…?) would have pretty hard heads? Or was that your character Krys? (Argh, I can never remember… -.-;)
To Azusasan: I'm updating as fast as I can; the evil-math-homework-of-doom are trying to keep me from my outer-curricular activities… And I'm glad this is interesting, thank my friend, Strawberry, for that! (She was going to write a story like this but was never able to finish it so she gave me permission to write my version.) The *real* version has me in it…O.o
Oh and all you guys out there, don't be thrown off by the really boring beginning. ^^; I know hairdressing isn't that exciting… And as part of her character, Chassy just despises guys with a passion. Don't take that as an offence, guys are great! (At least most the time…sometimes they can be just plain gross… -o-;)
-Ca and her helpful kitty =–o-;= (who is wondering why humans are so weird…)
A week had passed and Mia was exhausted. She never got any time to herself! Traffic of servants and handmaidens passed in and out of her room, interviewing her with questions such as, 'What is your favorite color?' or 'What kind of cake do you like best?' Seriously, she thought that this Prince Isaac should get over himself and ask all these questions himself!
Today was Sunday – probably the only day she could get any privacy. Today most everyone took a break, and even the servants never had to work as hard or as long that day.
Today, Jenna and Mia had invited another handmaiden to their apartments, one they were quite fond of in fact. Her name was Chassy, and though she was four years younger than the dynamic duo, she understood much of what the girls talked about. She had very long blonde hair that came down to her waist and curved upward, her eyes mahogany. Chassy quite a fair complexion, and her cheeks were always a rosy pink.
The girls were dressing each other's hair, trying to make each other look as bizarre as possible. (A/N: Fun… :)) Mia was 'fixing' Jenna's hair.
"I'm so glad you've straightened things out with Garet," replied Mia, "I told you it wasn't as bad as you thought it would be!"
"Humph, well I think she was mad with good reason," commented Chassy with an official sort of voice, "I think he did that on purpose."
Jenna laughed a little, "What makes you say that?"
"Fwah! Guys are over-rated. They're all terrible I tell you," she scoffed, "Oh, and you can't know why."
Mia was curious now, "Why not?"
"Jus' cuz."
Mia sighed as she continued to tinker with Jenna's hair, not knowing what to do with it. They sat in amiable silence, that awkward silence that is shared among friends. Chassy chewed on her tongue for a moment before replying, "Hey, would you guys like to come down to see the village?"
Much to Mia's dismay, Jenna turned her head and inquired, "What do you mean?"
"Well, since it's so busy here, maybe you guys would like to get away from it all to the village. The people are friendly and it's much more slow- paced there."
The two thought it over for a bit before Mia answered, "Okay, that sounds like fun! Can we bring Garet too?"
Chassy sighed and replied offhandedly, "If you really must. Plus, I think my brother would like to meet him."
"Your brother?"
"Yeah, he's your peoples' age; his name is Felix."
"Oh…"
~~~
Garet had quite a spring to his step as he came back 'home'. Even though both of his parents were Mars adepts, his family resided in a comfy little cottage in the town of Vesuvius. Mars and Venus adepts are symbiotic by nature, so this wasn't really that out of the ordinary. He stopped suddenly as Chassy skipped forward, "Hi Felix!"
Two young boys/men (A/N: Pardon that, I'm just not quite sure what to call them…^^;) looked up from a game they were playing in the plaza. The taller one beckoned to his friend as they approached, and called back, "Hi Chassy! Who are your new friends there?"
Chassy turned to Garet, Jenna, and Mia, "The one talking is Felix. The other one is his best friend ugh, Midas."
Mia gazed at the two guys. The one named Midas looked like a cheerful sort. He had soft raven black hair, which flowed lazily over his grinning face. His eyes made him stand out - one being green and the other being blue. (A/N: I made him up before I knew Yuna's eye color, I swear! Oh by the way, she's from FF9.) His tunic was a forest green and his slacks of a faded tan. He was very thin and sinewy, and reminded Mia of a cat.
But that Felix…he was another story (almost) entirely. His eyes were sincere and blue. His hair wasn't quite like Midas's, and it stuck out in 'spikes' crazily rather than slope down. It was golden, like the sun, and he seemed to shine. His tunic was light blue, like his eyes, and his slacks were simple cobalt. Mia thought of the sky, and she smiled dreamily.
"Ummmm hello, Ankara to Mia?"
"Wha…?" Mia blinked a couple of times and finally noticed that Jenna was waving a hand in her face, "Mia, Felix just asked for your name?"
"Oh um, s-sorry. I'm Mia."
Felix opened his mouth to say something but Midas beat him to it, "Oh that's quite alright, Mia me lass, he gets that all the time!"
"Shut up Midas! I apologize, he can be such an annoying fool at times," answered Felix with bravado and a 'Am not!' could be heard in the background, "As you already know, my name is Felix, I am charmed to meet you." He took Mia's hand and kissed it, and Midas cleared his throat, causing Felix to blush a bit.
Chassy rolled her eyes and muttered something like, "Oh brother…" and beckoned towards Garet and Jenna, "These two people are Garet and Jenna."
Garet and Jenna both said hello with friendly tones and Midas and Felix answered back. As Midas glanced over to Garet, his eyes brightened, "Say! Do you want to join in our game?" He turned to the girls, "We could play boys against girls!"
"Erm, Midas? I don't think they know what we're talking about…" said Felix, noting the baffled looks from Mia, Jenna, and Garet, though Garet looked pretty enthusiastic.
Chassy explained, "They're talking about a game called chaos ball. There is one ball, two teams, and four hoops. Any team can score in any hoop and a team can score as many times as they can in a row. Of course, say Garet had the ball and I pulled his flags – then my team would get the ball. Other than that, you just try to steal the ball without injuring the other team on purpose."
Jenna looked doubtful, "Flags?"
"Oh, we have a bunch of junky belts that no one wanted so we busted the buckles and sewed flags onto them," answered Felix quickly, "The buckles are supposed to be a bit loose so the belt can be taken off easily."
"Hey, this games sounds pretty fun!" laughed Mia. She turned to Jenna, "Come on Jenna, it'll be neat!"
"Well…okay. Let's get the game started!"
Midas ran back home to pick up some extra belts. Felix squinted at Garet's face before mentioning, "You look an awful lot like the people that live next door…"
Garet swelled with pride and had a look that said 'I thought you'd never ask' and replied, "That's cuz they're my family! I just came home from working at the Mercury court."
"Oh…" Felix thought for a moment, "Mia, you do look like a Mercurian…"
She answered quickly as Midas came back, "Yeah, that's where I'm from."
Everyone put on his or her belts and the game had begun.
~~~
Evening was approaching and the six kids were panting for breath after their game. It required a lot of running, and in the end, the guys beat the girls 40-13. Chassy just gave an aloof attitude and went home, handing Midas his belt back before leaving.
"Felix, your sister is such a poor sport," commented Midas, once he was sure that she was nowhere near.
"Aw, she's just like that 'cause she hates losing to guys," answered Felix, "And anyways, our team had you an' me, and we've been playin' this game since we were really little."
"That was fun after all," interjected Jenna thoughtfully, "Maybe we could all come back to visit next Sunday…"
"That would be great!" exclaimed Midas immediately. He glanced at Mia and then at Felix, "And I'm sure lover-boy here would agree."
"Oh would you be quiet? But yes, it would be very nice if you all visit next Sunday."
Garet leaned back a bit, "Then next Sunday it is!"
Mia had quite enjoyed her day, and was quite content. But then, something in her mind just snapped, "Oh my gosh! Jenna, we have to get back to the castle!"
Jenna's eyes widened. So after some hasty good-byes, Jenna, Garet, and Mia rushed back. Midas and Felix were quite baffled indeed.
~~~
Felix was lying in bed, staring out his window. He felt so…at ease with the world, much more than normal. His parents were much less than loving, and could only depend on his sister and Midas for comfort. He smiled as he looked towards the castle; it reminded him of, what was her name? Ah yes, Mia it was. What a beautiful name… He shook his head, what am I thinking? Midas was just joking around and…
He instead looked to the stars, so far away and yet, they seemed so close. Deciding his thoughts were for another day, Felix fell into a deep, peaceful slumber.
~~~
Mia sighed as she curled up in the many sheets and blankets upon her bed. Today was the best day of her life! She sighed at the thoughts of the freedom she had before, and how free she felt today in the peasant village. And those thoughts of the village…
She remembered Felix. He was such a gentleman… Her heart wrenched as she recalled Isaac, and her arranged marriage. Sunday had never felt so far away in all her life.
A/N: Mweeheehee, this is my favorite chapter so far! (Probably cuz Izers is in it…^^;) Anyways, tell me what ya'all think! See da pwetty lavender button, ooooooo…good shiny pwetty button… (Her kitty gets an anime sweat drop as Ca babbles about buttons.)
To Nips: Yes they shall meet the real Isaac soon… :) Yay! (I wuv widdle Izers…)
To XT-Zealot: WAHHHH! (Ca's kitty slaps her upside the head and mews something) Wha…? Okay, I suppose I'll get over the brick thing… Wouldn't ya think that seiyans (argh, spelling…?) would have pretty hard heads? Or was that your character Krys? (Argh, I can never remember… -.-;)
