A Determined Love - The Meeting
******************************************************
"So what do you exactly do at these meetings of yours?" Selenay asked Leena curiously watching the girl perched on her bed.
"Oh. Nothing much. My brother'll interrogate you probably - he can be very protective of me. The others will just want to talk to you for a bit - know a little bit about you. And then unfortunately tonight's the night I have to stay in i.e. the family friend session. So I won't be able to go out afterwards and do anything fun." Leena said sadly.
"Sounds like fun. If it gets boring we can liven it up I think." Selenay said mischievously. Leena looked in surprise at Selenay.
"Liven it up?" Leena said.
"Jah. Play a few tricks, a few games. I'm a master at thinking up tricks and games. I've had plenty of practice with the littlies." Selenay said bouncing up and down on Tali's bed.
"Littlies?" Leena asked curiously.
"The twins." Selenay said. Selenay went to the cupboard and opened it revealing the swish clothes inside.
"Do I have to wear anything special?" Selenay asked with a sigh.
"No. Not really." Leena said coming up behind Selenay noting the pretty clothes wistfully.
"Come on. Let's try some outfits on Leena." Selenay said full of mischief.
"But aren't these Tali's and Alysia's Selenay?" Leena asked.
"No. These are my clothes. Alysia and Tali have the clothes in the other bedroom. It's got a couple almost triple the size. They only just fitted in all their clothes. I'll show you after we go through my cupboard." Selenay promised.
"You sure have a lot of clothes." Leena said.
"Have to for my job. Most of its all casual if you have a look." Selenay laughed.
She began to pull out all her clothes and chucked them on the beds.
"Time for some fun!" Selenay said a mischief glint evident in her eyes. -------------
Leena and Selenay headed over towards the rooms reserved for the Blitz team. Selenay wore her black and green flared pants with a matching halter neck. Holding her pants in place was a pretty green belt. She wore soft black ankle boots. She had pulled her hair back into a ponytail and tied it with an attractive ribbon. Leena wore a tank top that matched her eyes - a gorgeous purple. Underneath she wore a long sleeved black shirt. She wore a pair of dark jeans, a purple belt and a pair of purple slip on shoes. Her hair flowed around her shoulders.
"You look gorgeous Leena. Your Bit won't be able to take his eyes off you." Selenay said smiling.
"My Bit? We're not going out." Leena said with a shake of her head.
"But you like him. It's obvious Leena." Selenay said with a slight frown.
"That obvious?" Leena asked depressed.
"No. Most people wouldn't be able to see that. I know because I have to know how to 'read' people. I can sense that you like Bit. I think he probably receives the same feelings but I wouldn't be able to tell you until after I talk with him." Selenay said with a shrug of her shoulders.
"Really?" Leena asked incredulous.
"Really." Selenay said firmly. -------------
Leena opened the door to the suite she shared with her father and brother. The others were already there, they all looked up. None of them had brought friends she thought with dismay. She gestured for Selenay to come in. The others stared in amazement at Leena and the black haired girl beside her.
"Everybody this is my friend Selenay. Selenay that's Bit, Brad, You know Naomi, Jamie, Leon, Jamie's Dad Oscar and my Dad." Leena said pointing each one out in turn.
"Nice to meet you Selenay." Brad said reaching out to shake her hand.
"A pleasure to meet you to Brad." Selenay said shaking Brad's hand firmly.
"Nice outfit Leena." Bit said appreciatively looking her up and down.
"How much was it Leena?" Doctor Toros asked in a pained voice.
"Nothing." Selenay said looking Doc in the eye.
"Nothing?" he asked raising his eyebrow.
"Nothing. I gave it to Leena because I don't fit into it." Selenay said firmly daring him to contradict her.
"Why'd you buy it then?" Brad asked rolling his eyes. "I didn't. It was bought for me by somebody else." Selenay said with a toss of her hair.
"You're giving Leena an outfit that was a gift to you?" Brad asked.
"No. I needed a new outfit and I asked my friend to go out and find me one. She got it for me but I was away at the time. I couldn't hand it back after she used while I was away." Selenay said crossly.
"She used it before you got the chance to? Nice friend." Brad commented.
"She's a great friend thankyou. Leave her alone." Selenay said her eyes snapping dangerously. Leena looked at Brad pleadingly. He ignored her look and opened his mouth to continue the argument with Selenay; Naomi elbowed him in the ribs, all that came out was a wheeze. Leena dragged her over to sit near her dad and Leon.
"So. What do you for a living Selenay?" Leon asked with interest.
"I make stuff and teach." Selenay said refusing to give details outright.
"Make stuff? Such as?" Leon said pryingly. The others gave her their undivided attention.
"Zoids, models of zoids. Toys. Whatever I feel like at the time." Selenay said airily.
"Zoids. You make zoids if you 'feel' like it?" Leon asked disbelievingly.
"Yes. Got a problem with that?" Selenay asked dangerously.
"No. Can you pilot a zoid?" Jamie asked.
"No." Selenay said. "Why'd I want to do that?"
"So you can test out the zoids you make." Brad pointed out.
"I leave that to the experts." Selenay said.
"Experts?" Leon said with a wince.
"Yeh. They usually get a kid called Vega Obscura to test them out for me." Selenay said calmly.
"Vega Obscura!?!" Bit gasped.
"Yeh. That's what I said." Selenay said annoyed.
"You work for the Backdraft?!?" Jamie said glaring at Leena. She looked as stunned as they did he noted.
"No. People come out and check out what my friends and I have designed. They commission it. We make it for them. They test it and then pay us for the rest of it if it works." Selenay said with a shrug. "The Backdraft just happen to keep a close eye on what we do and more often than not they get us to build the zoid we've created."
"Wow." Jamie said mouth agape.
"That's not an attractive look Jamie." Selenay said. Jamie flushed and closed his mouth with an audible snap.
"Busy? You said you teach. What exactly do you teach?" Leon asked.
"I teach dance and defence classes." Selenay said eyes flashing her annoyance. "Enough with the interrogation already."
Leon glared at her lost for words.
"Anything else we should know about you then?" he asked angrily.
"Well I spose you've just learnt that I tend to rub people up the wrong way when I first meet them. I can be very protective of my friends - that's were my skills as a defence teacher come into play as well as my verbal sparring ability." Selenay said smiling sweetly.
"She's a lot of fun." Leena said remembering the fun time they'd had that afternoon. "You certainly know how to enjoy yourself."
"Well when you're my age its important to think up new and exciting things to do with yourself." Selenay said eyes laughing at Leena.
"Your age? Your not that much younger than me!" Leena said indignant.
"What. You're older than me! That's not fair. Why's everybody always older than me!" Selenay said mocking outrage.
"You mean Tali and Alysia are older than you?" Leena said in surprise.
"Yes. Lys is about 19 and a ½ and Tali's 21." Selenay said pretending to be sulkily but thoroughly ruining with her laughing eyes.
"How much younger than them are you then?" Leena asked.
"I'm exactly 1 year younger than Lys and roughly 18 months younger than Tali." Selenay said with a sigh. "And you've told me that you're 19. That means your at least 6 moths older than me. It's not fair!"
"Life's not fair." Leena said teasingly.
"Don't I know it." She grumbled. ------------- "So what are we going to do?" Selenay asked Leena quietly utterly bored.
"I don't know." Leena said with a sigh. "Can me and Selenay go out please?"
Jamie gave Leena a disapproving look. "No Leena. You know the rules."
Leena gave a sigh. It was 8:30. There was nothing to do. Selenay had been there for about an hour and half and they'd already exhausted all topics that they could think of. Selenay couldn't go back to her room until after 11 because the other girls had come back to get the keys.
"Tell you what. Why don't we play truth or dare?" Selenay whispered to Leena her eyes once more mischievous. "Everybody can play.
"Good idea." Leena muttered back.
"Hey Guys. Lets play truth or dare." Leena said eyes sparkling. Leon looked between the two girls, Jamie and Brad looked at each other nervously, Naomi grinned in amusement, Bit looked around a bit dazed from his nap, and Doc looked a bit glum.
"Everybody plays." Selenay said smiling innocently.
"Good idea Selenay." Leon said. She raised an eyebrow at him he just smirked back.
Leena and Selenay got up and sat themselves comfortably on the floor. The others all followed suit except for Doctor Toros. "Come on Doc." Jamie urged him to join in.
"I'm quite sure you wouldn't like me to spoil your fun. I'll find something else to do." Doc said with a shake of his head.
"When we said everybody we meant you too Doctor Toros." Selenay said firmly.
"Call me Doc." Doctor Toros said. "Are you sure?"
"Yes Dad." Leena said in exasperation.
Doctor Toros got up and sat across from Selenay next to Jamie.
