Chapter 2: Family Rivalry:
Brother against Brother
The next morning Sydney woke up to find that Schwartz wasn't next to her. She turned over to find a note on the lampshade that read:
*Sydney, meet me in the hanger, I have a surprise for you. A "BIG" surprise. I love you. ~Schwartz. *
She smiled after she read it. Sydney got up and put some clothes on, and started to walk out the door. She had been walking for about 3 minutes over to the hanger, when Keith called her name and came running up to her.
"Where have you been? I've been looking all over for you yesterday and today!" he yelled at her.
"Don't you yell at me!" She replied in a stern voice.
"Sorry, but I was worried about you. I thought something had happened to you."
She smiled "trust me nothing was going to happen to me, I was perfectly safe."
*In Schwartz's arms* she thought.
"Oh? Where did you go?"
"I uh, like I said I went to look at the gardens."
"You sure that's were you were because I look all over the gardens for you and you weren't there." He told her looking a bit suspicious.
"Well, it doesn't matter now were I was I'm here now." she kissed him on the check.
"Were are you off to now Syd?"
"I'm going to see your brothers Gundam. Why?"
"I just wanted to know." She started to turn around and walk off when she walked into Schwartz.
"Oh, hey" he said as if it was the first time he ran into her.
"Hi Schwartz, I was just going to look at your Gundam, care to show me, give me a little tour of it?" She said winking at him.
"Sure, is that ok with you Keith, you weren't going to do anything were you?"
"No, it's ok she can go with you. I have things to do anyway. See you later Sydney."
"Bye." In a fake upset way she said it.
When he was out of sight, and far gone Schwartz took her hand and they went over to the hanger.
"Why did you come and look for me?" Syd asked.
"For one you were taking to long, two if nothing was in your way you would have been in the hanger about 7 minutes after you read that message on the lamp shade."
"Seams you know me well."
"Better then Keith ever will." He leaned forward and kissed her on the lips, and they kept walking.
"What is it that's such a big surprise?"
"I'll tell you this, you're going to think I'm way over doing it."
"It's that big of a surprise?" she said raising an eyebrow.
"Yes" he answered as they walked into the hanger.
"Close your eyes"
"Why I can't see anything it's so dark."
"Still close them." She sighed and did what he asked.
She saw the light through his fingers when he put them on, then they started to walk a bit.
"Were are we going, can I look now?"
"No, not yet. Soon, very."
He finally stopped waking and he uncovered her eyes. She gasped
"Oh My God!"
Schwartz was smiling, but he was thinking that maybe he did over do it this time.
"Schwartz is this for me?" He nodded, and sat down on a chair.
"But, Oh My God, Schwartz it's a..."
"Gundam" he finished her sentence.
She looked at him.
"How did you get this for me, in a day?"
"Actually, I've had it for you."
She thought she was hearing things.
"What? You've had it for me?"
"Before you came, your father wanted Keith and me to get you something. So I heard that you'd never seen a Gundam before so I got you one."
She was in complete shock. He went on.
"But, this Gundam, I did some modifications on it, now that I know you a bit more. It will work perfect with you. The best part is you don't need to much training to fight in it." He told her.
"Will you train me?"
"Of course I will. That was my plain. Now we can be together and it won't look like something's up."
"Oh you're smart."
She walked over and sat on his lap and put her arms around him. He was slouching back in his seat, and she kissed him.
Amazingly only a week later Sydney was a strong as Schwartz. She was able to hold her own against him, with out the help of Ryan. She was even able to fight both of them at the same time. Her parents were very proud of her and so was Schwartz, but Keith wasn't really liking it.
The main reason is that Sydney was spending more time with his older brother then with him. He was starting to think that she liked Schwartz, more then she like him. But he would just push it aside and tell him self that she liked him and not his bother.
Two days after Sydney had a fight with Ryan and won, Keith decided to ask her to go out with him, just to have a little fun. Since she was always fighting. Sydney was with Schwartz and all his friends in the Garden. They were talking about what they were going to do for Syd since she finally beat Ryan.
Schwartz's friends were Steven, Mat, and Chester. They were having fun when Keith came by.
"Hey Sydney!" he called to her.
She turned around. "Hey, what are you doing here?"
"I was just seeing what you were doing, miss fighter."
Schwartz's friends really didn't like Keith all that much, so they just ignored him.
"What do you really want Keith. I know that you wouldn't just come here for nothing." She told him walking up to him.
"Well, I want to take you out to dinner now. Since we never spend any time together."
Keith's parents were over head and were standing on a pavilion like porch. They were watching them quietly.
"Go out to get now?" She questioned him.
"Yes, now. Come on I have my car ready." He took her arm and started to pull her a bit.
"Wait! I didn't even say that I wanted to go Keith." he turned around to look at her.
"What?"
"I didn't even say that I wanted to go. You just assumed that I did." She was looking straight into his eyes. She could tell he was a bit pissed off.
He sighed a bit "Do you want to go?"
She looked down, "No."
"Why not?"
"Because I'm going out with the guys to hang. They want to treat me for beating Ryan."
That was the last straw. Keith wouldn't take it any more. She was HIS girlfriend and she should be with him not them. This time he was going to put his foot down.
"You're not going with them Sydney."
"What did you say?"
The kings and queens were listing intently now to what Keith was telling her, they had no intentions on stopping what might happen either. So what ever happened they weren't going to intervene.
"I said that you're not going with them, you're going out to dinner with me and that's final!" He yelled in a stern voice.
He stared at her; she was in shock that he just yelled at her like that. He started to walk away when Sydney yelled back at him.
"You don't tell me what I'm doing and what I'm not doing Keith!"
He turned around and walked right up to her and got in her face.
"You're my girlfriend, and tonight you're going to spend time with me. You haven't for the entire time that you've been her. Now let's GO!"
That sent Sydney over the edge, she slapped him in the face.
Everyone was in shock, especially Keith. His rage started to build inside him, and it was as if a button was clicked when she hit him. His face turned red and he glared at her.
"Get in the car." He told her.
"NO!"
He'd had enough; he wasn't going to let a girl like her walk all over him. He grabbed her and pulled her.
"Get off me!" She hit him again, this time really hard that should have made Keith think twice next time, but it didn't work. The only thing it did was make him even more mad.
This time Keith hit Sydney, and she fell back and hit the cement floor, hard.
"Sydney!" Schwartz yelled as he ran up to her and held up her head. Her face was bleeding badly. Schwartz put his hand on her face; she just looked up at him in pain. Schwartz saw tears start to run down her face, she was crying.
Schwartz turned to his brother and yelled louder then he ever had before.
"What the fuck Keith! Have you lost your mind."
"No, she's my girlfriend and I'll do what I want to her!"
Steven came over and took Sydney. Steven started to take her away but she refused to leave Schwartz.
"You'll do what you want to her!? You're the biggest ass hole I've ever meet, and I'm ashamed to even call you my brother!" Schwartz screamed at him.
"Yeah, well why are you defending her so much Schwartz? What have you two been doing?"
Schwartz stared at his brother, then at Sydney. She was shaking because of the shock of being hit. He turned and looked at the floor.
"What have you been doing Schwartz, I want an answer! NOW!" Keith was getting inpatient.
"You really don't know?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Don't act dumb!" Schwartz looked at his pathetic brother. "Where do you think she's been going all this time Keith? Why do you think she's been blowing you off every time you want to do something. And why is it that when you find her she's always with me??" Schwartz said in a rough and at the same time calm tone.
Keith's eyes went big. He glared at his brother then squeezed his fists.
"You've been with Sydney this whole time!"
"Yes, but it's been more like an affair Keith." Keith looked like he was going to explode in anger, and that he was going to kill Schwartz.
Schwartz knew he was extremely mad, so he made it worse. "As a matter of fact Keith, she loves me."
Keith leaned forward, his fists white because he was squeezing them so tight.
"W-what did you say?" Keith asked him.
Schwartz smiled and put his fists up, "I said SHE'S LOVES ME!!"
It was like Schwartz's voice was the bell, because Keith lunged at his brother, and that was when all there parents came running.
"I'll kill you Schwartz! She was mine!" He had Schwartz on his back. Schwartz turned his brother over.
"What are you talking about, she never even liked you ass hole!"
Keith got his hands on Schwartz's neck and was starting to squeeze tight. So Schwartz punched him in the face and his brother fell back on the floor. He stood up and turned around, bad idea.
Keith jumped on Schwartz's back. And Schwartz fell forward into the water fountain. Keith pushed Schwartz's face holding it down into the water. Schwartz's arms were moving around trying to grab his brother, and then they stopped moving completely. Keith let go of Schwartz and his body fell to the floor.
"Schwartz!" Sydney yelled and Steven let go of her. Mat and Ryan were already on top of Keith beating him.
"Schwartz, look at me open your eyes please, I beg you." And tears fell down her face as she put her head on his dead body and cried.
Schwartz's parents can down with the guards, who grabbed Keith by the arms. They took him away. Their parents stood behind the crying Sydney, who wouldn't even move when her parents called her name.
"Schwartz, no, please get up. Don't die, you can't. I love you." Her parents were standing there looking with remorse in their eyes. K. Jerry was the most up set about the whole thing. He had put his daughter in danger, but not even talking to Keith. In the back round they could hear Keith yelling and screaming trying to get away.
All of her make-up had run down her face, and it was all over Schwartz's shoulder now.
"What now father, look what you've done. All of you, you were sitting up there on that balcony watching us. You all could have intervened but you didn't and now Schwartz the next king to be, and the man that I loved is dead!" and she started to cry again.
Suddenly with out warning, while Sydney was crying and she had her head on his shoulder, Schwartz's hand came up and was put on her head.
"Shh, don't cry Syd, I'm not going to leave you, and I never will." Sydney's head popped up and Schwartz with his dark blues eyes were staring at her.
"Schwartz, you're still alive!" She hugged him and his mother hugged her husband.
"By they way I heard everything you said Sydney."
"Huh, you heard me? But you were dead."
"No I was just to weak to move at that point. I love you too." And with that he reached up and pulled her face down toward his and he kissed her.
"King, King!" said a guard yelling frantically.
"What is it!?"
"It's Keith we lost him sir, he's gone. But he left a note saying that he'd come back for Sydney and will kill Schwartz sir." the guard finished.
"Schwartz" Sydney said, as she hugged him.
He was standing up now and holding her close.
"Don't worry, he won't get you" he reassured her as he kissed her on the forehead.
"Schwartz" said Sydney's father.
"Yes?" he said as he stroked his hand through Sydney's hair.
"I'm trusting you to protect her. She's my only daughter and I love her."
"Don't worry, I'll protect her with my life if I have to."
Sydney cuddled with him, and he cuddled back. He looked down at her, and wiped some of the make-up off her face.
"Everything will be fine, our father's are out looking for Keith now. He'll be captured. I know it."
"And we'll protect you as well princesses." said Ryan with Steven, Mat, and Chester right behind him.
"Gundams and all" added Steven.
"That's right the Gundams!" said Sydney. I should be safe that I have the Blitz Gundam."
"You're right Syd." replied Schwartz.
"You all should get some rest, and as for you two." Q. Sara pointed to Schwartz and Sydney. "You two need to be checked up and cleaned up before you get some rest ok?"
The nodded, they got cleaned up and went to sleep, together. Syd felt so safe wrapped in Schwartz's muscular arms, from time to time she'd slide her hand down his bare chest and he would smile and kiss her.
Finally they went to sleep, not knowing what tomorrow would bring. Chaos, pain, sorrow, happiness, or even death they didn't know, all they knew was that they loved each other, and tomorrow was a night away.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
