Chapter 7 : Inner Beauty
"Sharlnak? I think we'd better not disturbing Phinx' s date!" Shizuku said.
"Oh come on,Shizuku! We had 'sacrificed' a lot to get to this place! I'd spent lots of my money for that car accident! And beside,I'm curious about that fat girl –I mean Cleo!"
"Umm...about that accident,it was your fault,wasn't it? You was too busy to mock me so you didn't watch that there's a big truck infront of us! Fortunetely we'd got out of car before it crashed. But we still have to pay for that truck's damage!"
"Yeah! If I didn't have money to pay it,I would have killed that truck-driver. Hmm...I don't remember I brought any money –but it's not important! We're here now –ready to watch over Phinx's date! Now follow me! We have to climb and hide behind the roof!" said Sharlnak excited.
"You mean like what you had done with..umm...lemme remember...umm...Paku! But it didn't work!"
"It didn't work –because at that time there was a freek girl who sucked the roof with her vacum-cleaner!"
"Huh? Who?"
"Forget it. And...let me check the situation first!" Sharlnak shouted as he went away to the backside of Scintillate Cafe. A few minutes later,he came back. "There's no hole for us to get into the roof. We had to change plan!"
"So instead of 'infiltrate' to the roof,now we infiltrate to the kitchen?" asked Shizuku as she followed Sharlnak stealthly to the Cafe's kitchen.
"Yup! We'll disguised as server to spy on their date! You've done this before,remember?!"
"I don't remember. But I think we'd better poison Phinx –before he'd be embarassed with that 'white-backside-coat'! " Shizuku then showed the 'stomachace-poison' bottle.
"You had to go to the mental hospital –I'm serious with that! Now give me that bottle before you killed Phinx!" said Sharlnak as he grabbed that stomachace poison.
Sharlnak didn't watch his steps and he almost hit a small rock on the floor. Bu he didn't wanna repeat the same fault that made Hisoka and Machi kissed again. He avoid that rock. "Ha! Experience had make me more...Whoa!!!"
Sharlnak who had 'successfuly avoid' the rock,hit the rubbish bin. He fell in the slow motion. Shocked,he let go the 'stomachache poison' bottle. It flew to the air,the bottle then opened and...it spilled to a pan of soup.
"Argh!!! The poison...it spilled to that pan of soup! Somebody could die!" Sharlnak yelled.
"Umm...Sharlnak? We're killer,right?"
"Oh yeah! You're right! I'm so panic that I couldn't think clearly!" Sharlnak then realized that somebody was coming –so he warned Shizuku to hide. It was the cafe's server. He then poured that 'poisoned-soup to a bowl and take it out to a table.
Sharlnak slowly look and realized that the server was giving the soup to...Phinx. Shizuku also seemed to realize it,but that two Ryodan just standing in shockness.
Sharlnak was distracted by a woman infront of Phinx. So that's Cleo,thought Sharlnak. She's pretty! Sharlnak then paused for a moment. Wait a minute! Cleo is fat right? But this beautiful woman is not. She was pretty and slim. And she also had a beautiful long,black hair. It couldn't be Cleo!
"Who's that girl?! I forgot! Er...Cleo?! Yes! She's Cleo!" said Shizuku.
"How could it be?!!" Sharlnak still couldn't believe that Cleo had change to a beautiful woman.
But Sharlnak Who was still shocked and Shizuku Who was trying to remember why she was there totally forgot about Phinx and the 'poisoned-soup' .
Phinx kept eating the soup without any suspicion. 30 minutes later,he felt pain in his stomatch.
Oh God! My stomache is aching in my first date! I couldn't take it any longer!
"Er...Cleo? I'm so...sorry,but I think we'd better go out of this cafe!" said Phinx.
"Fine. I don't really like this place –actually," said Cleo.
Still trying to hold the pain, Phinx called the manager to count the bill. But when Phinx wanted to pay, he realized that his wallet wasn't in his pocket. Phinxs's face then became pale.
Cleo seemed to realized what had happened,so she took her wallet and pay the bill.
Meanwhile –still in the kitchen – Sharlnak and Shizuku watched that Phinx and Cleo went out of the cafe.
"How could he let his girl pay the bill?!! He such an idiot!" Sharlnak mocked Phinx. Sharlnak took his wallet out of his pocket –and after watching it carefully, he realized that it wasn't his wallet. It was Phinx's .
"Sharlnak? I know we're thief,but you shouldn't have to steal Phinx's wallet!" said Shizuku.
"I didn't mean to! Wait a minute! So when we paid for that car accident ,we used his money?"
"Umm...yes –I think. Poor Phinx! His first date is ruined up because of us!" Shizuku said. She walked out of the kitchen and stumbled. Her cell-phone and Disc-man scattered out of her bag.
Sharlnak actually wanna say 'Dude' to Shizuku but he later on realized 'something' that could 'save' Phinx's relationships.
This is better, thought Phinx after he drank the stomachache medicine. But this is not my only problem. I still have to confess my feelings to Cleo.
"Cle,Cleo? Co,could we...talk? I...I like you Cleo!" said Phinx nervously.
Cleo laughed and yelled, "You're a big liar!! Do you forget who had mocked me 'Fat-girl' ?! And now when I'm not fat again, you said you like me?! I hate a man like you! A man who liked a girl just by the outer appearance!!" Cleo turned her back againts Phinx.
"Cleo. I understand if you're mad at me. But I just want you to know that I really like you until now. And I...mocked you just to cover my real feelings. I'm sorry,but I never lie about my feeling toward you, " Phinx then slowly walked away from Cleo.
Cleo just stared sadly at Phinx. But then she realized that there was somebody behind her.
"Don't worry! We're Phinx's friend. And...I know that your problem with Phinx is none of my business,but I just wanna say that you had done a big mistake. Phinx liked you not just by your 'outer beauty' " said Shizuku.
"Don't pretending you know all about me!! I like Phinx since the first time I met him! But he kept mocking at me! And how could you said he liked me?!" Cleo said. Shizuku could feel that Cleo was crying.
"Well,we have a proof," said Sharlnak as he showed Shizuku's Disc-man. He then put on a CD on it. Then the three of them could hear the conservetation in that CD.
*This is the recorded-conversation* A/N :Taken from Chapter 6
"....Well...the truth is...I don't know! I know Cleo was fat and not as pretty as the other girl,but...Sharl,I couldn't explain it! I just feel that my hearts was beating very fast everytime I saw her. And I feel so funny everytime I watch her angry face and...I couldn't explain it! I like her just the way she is!"
*End of the recorded-conversation*
Shizuku looked at Sharlnak with 'I-don't-get-it' looks. Sharlnak then explained that Shizuku had left the CD in the 'recorded-position' when she was going to wash Phinx's clothes. So it had recorded Phinx's 'truly confession' .
It took a while for Shizuku to understand it. She then realized that Cleo was still standing there –speakless because of shockness.
"Phinx shouldn't be too far. Go and confess your feelings!" said Shizuku. Cleo just smiled gratefuly and ran to Phinx's direction.
"Another love-problem's solved!" yelled Sharlnak excited after he saw that lovely couple kissing –who else but Phinx and Cleo.
Phinx seemed to be realize that Sharlnak and Shizuku were there. Phinx gave 'a thumbs up' to them and then he looked again at his first and true love with a gentle looks.
But the 'romantic momment' destroyed –cause there was a wind blowin the black paper,which cover Phinx's white-side coat. Phinx hadn't realize about it,but he realized that people were laughing at him. He later then checked his back-side coat and feel that his blood was boiling in anger. "Sharlnak!!! Shizuku!!!" he yelled.
"We'd better find a good execuse," said Shizuku as she ran away.
A/N : The 7th Chappie! At last! The moral from this story? Don't judge a girl just by the outer appearance! I know outer appearance is important ,but there's something more important than it!
N.B :to White Meteor :Umm...It's not Phinx's underwear actually Gosh! Writing that sentence really make me feel weird! It's Cleo's. You know Shizuku,right? She had taken the wrong one. Sorry if I'm confusing you! And I'm not gonna write all of them! But I'm planning to write about Feitan after this.
