Chapter 2
"VASH! COME OVER HERE RIGHT NOW, YOU MORON!"
Meryl was again yelling at the top of her lungs. Vash came out of the bathroom, scratching his head as he watched Meryl, half scared and half amused, grinning. "You called?"
Meryl felt a vein in her temple twitch. She hated it when he smiled his world famous sunshine smile.
"Vash, you big buffoon! Can't you even stay out of trouble for a day? Thanks to you, the restaurant is ruined, my company has to pay the insurance bills, and I've got more friggin' reports to write, you idiot!"
Vash hesitated for a second, and grinned sheepishly.
"I didn't think that the champagne cork would pop up so high though, Meryl! Anyway, it was sort of cool, wasn't it?"
Meryl was fuming by now. She frowned and kicked Vash in the legs, making him fall face flat onto the carpet.
Meryl yelled over to Milly, who was a few feet away, busy stuffing her face with pudding.
"MILLY! I'M TAKING THE DAY OFF! KEEP AN EYE ON VASH!"
With that, Meryl slammed the door, making Wolfwood raise a brow.
"She's even scarier than my mom, and my mom's damn scary."
Milly just smiled, blue eyes twinkling.
"Oh silly Mr. Wolfwood. Meryl's not ALWAYS scary, you know. She's actually very nice."
Vash rubbed his sore face, eyeing Milly.
"I wish she'd show kindness to a fine, handsome man like me, then."
Milly giggled, while Wolfwood snorted. Milly then pondered for a second, blue orbs thinking deeply.
"Well.I'd be cranky if I didn't sleep all day, Mr. Vash. I don't think Meryl's slept a lot for over a week."
Vash felt sort of guilty, knowing that it was his fault Meryl had to type all those papers. Come to think of it, he would be rather cranky if he hadn't his beauty sleep for over a week.
Milly then grinned mischievously as she scuttled over to her suitcase and brought out an old album.
"Mr. Vash, Mr. Wolfwood.this is my highschool album. I want to show you something."
As Milly flipped the delicate pages one by one, Wolfwood and Vash curiously looked at the album over her shoulder. When Milly finally stopped at a page, they opened their mouths wide as they saw a picture of a beautiful girl, one of the most beautiful they've ever seen. The girl had long hair just around her waist, her eyes somewhat focused yet not exactly focused, and a bright smile that outshone everybody else's smiles.
"Man.she's pretty."
Wolfwood stared at the picture, thinking to himself.
'She's vaguely familiar to someone I know.I just can't remember who she is."
Vash, meanwhile, was attempting to kiss the picture. Too occupied to the beauty of the girl, he never realized who she was.
"Hey big girl, who is she anyway?"
Milly giggled as she watched the two men stupefied by the girl.
"Why Mr. Wolfwood, she's Meryl."
Wolfwood and Vash both opened their mouths wide, staring blankly at Milly.
"What? Come on big girl, the little girl should look more like.this."
He pointed to a girl with big, owl-like glasses.
"Oh no, Mr. Wolfwood. This is Meryl. She was voted the class beauty too!"
While Wolfwood gaped at the picture, Vash finally realized that the girl looked a LOT like Rem. His long lost Rem.
"Well Mr. Wolfwood, to inform you, Meryl was the captain of the cheerleading squad, the best student in our grade, and also the prettiest! She had ten boyfriends in one semester!"
Wolfwood continued to stare at the picture.
'Damn, if I knew that the girl was Meryl, I'd be asking her out on a date by now! Who knows why she turned out to be the cranky girl I know now.'
Vash, on the other hand, was hit by realization that Meryl had a life before being an insurance girl he knew now. He never knew that Meryl could smile like that.smile so much alike Rem.
