Valentine's Day

The trip to Second Miltia was comforting except for MOMO, who had worse injuries than before. Shion told her to 'stay put before further injuries may happen' to her. They really need THAT book to learn that very obsolete skill… When they arrived, a tall man with long, black hair tied back in a ponytail greeted them.

"Hey Shion." The man said, hugging his younger sister tightly.

"Hey. Long time no see, Jin. How are you?" the 22-year old returned the hug before letting go of him. "Still reading those books all day long? No wonder you slimmed down!" she teased.

"Y-you read books too?" MOMO suddenly blurred out. Because of that, Jin's attention went to the pink-haired Realien. Sensing her fear, he offered a kind smile to which she returned awkwardly.

"Yes, I love to read books. Do you?"

"A bit… A friend of mine convinced me to read some but he's the one who loves to collect books." She replied nervously.

"I see… I'm Jin Uzuki, Shion's older brother. You must be MOMO." He kneeled down and gave the nervous girl a hug.

"N-nice to meet you, Mr. Uzuki…" she said.

Jin stood up after the hug they shared and started to walk. The three stopped in front of a car and he motioned for them to come in.

"H-how did you get a car?!" Shion exclaimed after seeing a shiny cobalt blue car just before her eyes. She noted that it was Vector who made it.

"Your friend, Miyuki, gave it to me since you were still at the Kukai Foundation. She wanted you to test this Vector-made car." He replied, winking at her and automatically, a seatbelt laid down on his chest. MOMO settled herself on the backseat…

As they got to their house, Shion looked at the backseat and found MOMO sleeping soundly. "Jin, do you mind if you carry MOMO inside the house? She's sleeping already."

"No problem." With that, Shion grabbed their bags while her older brother opened the backseat and carried the sleeping Realien in his arms. As they went towards the house, the brown-haired girl entered first and opened the door for her brother.

"Put MOMO in my bed and get out some old clothes of mine that has her size."

Jin rummaged through a drawer and found a shirt which had a picture of Bunnie, his little sister's favorite mascot when she was young… The young man handed it to his sister and she disappeared inside her room to change MOMO's dirty clothes.

"Watch over her. I'm going to contact my friends." The green-eyed woman said and he nodded, entering her room quietly as not to disturb their guest.

Shion entered the master's bedroom, where her parents used to sleep, and connect through the U.M.N.

"Hello everybody!!!" Shion's cheerful voice rang throughout Gaignun's office in the Kukai Foundation.

"Shion!!!" Everyone yelled out happily except Allen who yelled, "Chief!!!"

"How is everyone? I just got back to my home in Second Miltia with MOMO."

"Where's MOMO?!?! Is she alright?!?!" Jr. blurred out suddenly.

"MOMO? Oh, she's sleeping peacefully in my room… I guess she got tired from our trip."

Jr. let out a sigh of relief while Shion looked at him strangely. Seeing her puzzled face, Gaignun spoke up. "Rubedo's been like that ever since MOMO left the Foundation."

"HEY! I WAS NOT!!!" Suddenly, his cheeks flushed a flaming red like his hair. Shion tried hard not to laugh. Jr. sure look liked a tomato!

Shion looked back and saw MOMO crying hard. "MOMO, are you alright?!" To them, she said, "Excuse me for a while… MOMO just got up and she's crying…"

"Hey!!!" Jr. yelled from the monitor. "Lemme talk to her!!!"

"Huh…? Okay then…" Shion patted the crying girl's hair and said, "MOMO, Jr. wants to talk to you."

At the mention of the name, the girl's cheeks flushed harder and whispered, "Do I look okay…?"

"Of course, dear! Now, go and talk to him about your problem. So, you want something to eat? How about some cake?"

"Sure! I'll call you when its ready." The Chief Engineer of  Vector's First R&D Division kissed the Realien's cheek in a motherly way before leaving the room.

MOMO sat on the computer chair and faced the monitor. "Hello Jr. How are you?" she asked happily, wiping the tears from her eyes.

"Hey... You alright?"

"Un. I just had a nightmare… Sorry for interrupting your conversation with Shion." She apologized, still rubbing her red eyes.

Jr. studied her for a while. MOMO wore a shirt with a print of Bunnie in it and words said, 'Caution! Don't look on the back of its head!'

'What the fuck is with that shirt?' "Actually… I… wanted to talk to you to see if you're okay…" he stammered, blushing slightly.

MOMO frowned a bit. Jr. wasn't like that whenever they talk. It was always him who was talkative and he always speaks out his mind. But right now… he was nervous.

"I'm just fine here… You know what? Mr. Uzuki has a big collection of books! Shion says he does nothing except read all day." She giggled when she remembered the woman ranting about her 'good-for-nothing brother'.

"Really? He must be some kind of guy who's obsessed with books. So MOMO… mind if you tell me what your nightmare was…?"

"Well… I dreamed that he… did the same to me again…*"

"He…?"

"Um… h-he was named Albedo, right…? He had silver hair…?" she said, unsure.

Jr. looked like he wanted to find his dark half and blast him into oblivion. "NO WAY!!!!!!"

"P-p-please don't get angry! It was only a dream!"

Jr.'s angry look remained. "I hope so."

"P-please stop that angry look… It scares me…"

"Oh, sorry."

Behind Jr., everyone was cursing him silently.

"Ooh…!!!! Why isn't Little Master asking her out yet!!!!" Mary hissed impatiently, clenching her fists until they turned white.

"He's probably too shy to ask MOMO out on a date." Ziggy remarked.

"That may be true." chaos said while Allen nodded in agreement.

When the red head heard their comments, he wanted to shoot them with his spirit gun but he knew MOMO wasn't fond of him killing people… She hated it, for her sisters, the kirschwassers were killed in cold blood by that… guy.

'So they think I'm a coward to ask her out, huh?!' "So MOMO… um…" Jr. began but…

"MOMO!!! The cake is ready!" Shion poked her head from the door.

"Okay!" the little girl yelled back. "Um… what was it you're about to say…?"

"Willyougooutwithmewhenyougetback?" he said at once, too quickly, mind you.

"What? Please say it clearly."

"I said, 'Will you go out with me when you get back?'" he repeated, blushing furiously. Behind him, everyone's jaws dropped, except for KOS-MOS who had a blank look on her face.

MOMO's amber eyes widen in surprise and a red tinge appeared on her cheekbones. "A-alright then…"

"G-good… So its settled then… T-t-tomorrow night at the Foundation's S-shuttle Launch?"

"O-o-okay then… I'll just see you tomorrow morning… B-bye…" with that, MOMO turned off the U.M.N. while Jr. stood there, looking dumbfounded. He couldn't believe it!!! He had just asked MOMO out on a date!!!!!!

At once, Mary Godwin recovered and proceeded to pat her 'Little Master's' back. "Good going, Little Master!!! You asked MOMO out on a date!!!!!!!" she shook him hard but he didn't react. Instead, a blank look was plastered on his face.

"He's in shock. Rubedo never knew MOMO would say yes." 'Nigredo' commented. "Hmph, if it wasn't for my powers, he still won't ask her out."

"You hypnotized, Little Master*? That was very helpful, Master Gaignun." Shelley said, smiling a bit.

"He was an idiot. He kept on sending me random thoughts and he didn't make sure to watch what he was thinking… Oh well… he maybe be older than I am but he acts like a 12 year old."

"That's why MOMO's suited for him! MOMO may look like a 12 year old but she's mature!!!" the blonde Godwin exclaimed, still shaking 'Little Master' like crazy.

"Mary, stop shaking me! I'm getting dizzy!!!" Jr. snapped after he recovered from Gaignun's 'hypnotism' and walked away. "You shouldn't get too excited, you know. So what if I asked her out? Its not such a big deal."

The group watched him as he left the office and as he left, they gathered around the table with Gaignun sitting on the chair.

"What are we going to do now? He'll probably be too nervous to talk to MOMO while they're out on a date tomorrow evening." Shelley Godwin said.

"We should follow them. KOS-MOS may come in handy for this situation." The cyborg said.

"I am a combat type android. I am not fit for this kind of mission." KOS-MOS replied.

"Oh come on! You want to see the two of them together, right?" Allen asked.

"No, I do not. There is a 67.8899% that Jr. and MOMO's date will go smoothly."

"Yes you are! Just come with us, okay?" chaos said.

"Affirmative." The android said.

"Good. Now, here's what we're going to do…" Gaignun began.

-------------------------------------------------

MOMO exited the Master's Bedroom and into the kitchen, looking extremely happy and her cheeks redder than when she cried.

"You seemed happy after talking to Jr. Did something happen?"

"H-he asked me out."

Shion almost dropped the plate she was holding. MOMO, going out on a date?!? With Jr.?!?!

"I-I see… Tomorrow evening, right…?"

"Yup!" the pink-haired girl began eating the cake.

An email arrived and Shion looked at it, surprised that it came from Gaignun. It said about Jr. and MOMO's date and a plan to set them up. Hastily, she replied that she would help… MOMO needs to be happy.

"MOMO, I'll be going to sleep so, do you want me to give you the books about it?" she asked.

"Okay then! I'll be working all night after eating this cake."

"Good luck then…" Shion glanced at the clock and it read: 2200 hrs. "Good night." She stood up and left the dining room to sleep.

Notes:

"Well… I dreamed that he… did the same to me again…" – Remember the scene where Albedo does his 'searching' for the Y-data? In this fic, I used the Japanese version where he plunges his hand on MOMO's stomach and down to her abdomen in front of Jr.!!!!! The most disgusting part was, he had a sexually gratified look on his face, as if he was enjoying it!!!! -____-;;;;;;;;;

Oh yeah, Gaignun's power is to hypotize people. ^_^

How was it? Too stupid? Please R&R!!!!!
