So sit back, relax, and enjoy the story!
Chapter 3
Meryl huffed out of the inn, hating her job, hating Vash, hating everyone around her, and hating why she had to be herself. Walking towards the saloon, she remembered what she had said a long time ago.
'Only people who wish to get out of reality drown themselves in alcohol.'
But today, she really did want to get out of reality. She wanted to go off into a dream world where everything was what like she imagined.
Entering the saloon, she ordered herself a light drink. Drinking it slowly, as if to be absorbed in the alcohol, she didn't noticed when a young man sat down next to her.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Milly, Wolfwood, and Vash were busy looking in the highschool album. They saw many pictures of Meryl in the pages. Pictures and faces of Meryl they've never seen before. One picture caught Vash's attention. It was a picture of Meryl and a young man, smiling as though they were the only people on the whole entire planet. The young man was quite handsome, with short hair and a kind smile upon his face.
"Who's he?"
As Vash curiously looked at the picture, Wolfwood looked in the album to seek out any pictures of Milly.
"Oh, he's Jake. He was Meryl's tenth boyfriend before he moved away."
Vash felt a prang of jealousy, as he'd never seen Meryl so happy when she was with him. Wolfwood grinned beside him, poking him in the back.
"Feeling jealous, eh?"
Vash shook his head and mumbled something under his breath.
Milly smiled over at Vash, who was busy mumbling some words.
"Don't worry Mr. Vash! Meryl's still single!"
As Wolfwood and Milly exchanged high fives, Vash leaned back in a chair, putting his feet on the wooden desk. It never occurred to him that Meryl could be the carefree woman that he never expected her to be. By looking at Meryl, she seemed like a hard-working woman, maybe a tad workaholic. But the Meryl in the album was a different person. A Meryl he never knew, and would probably never know. And the saddest thought was that the Meryl in the highschool album was so alike to Rem.
Rem Saverem. Meryl Stryfe. Two different people, yet the same two people. The same two people that he, Vash the Stampede, loved.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Not noticing as the seat next to her was occupied, Meryl ordered another drink, wishing to escape from the reality that weighed her down so heavily.
"'Lo there, Meryl. Remember me?"
Meryl looked over to the man next to her, groaning silently that it was another man like Vash. Her gray eyes soon however, opened wide to see that the man was someone so distant from her past.
".Jake? Is that really you?"
Jake grinned as he hugged Meryl.
"So you do remember me, eh?"
Meryl nodded, as she glanced at Jake. He didn't change at all in the past 9 years. He was the same Jake.
"I haven't seen you in such a long time Jake. I can't believe you still recognized me."
Jake chuckled as he ordered a drink.
"I'd never miss a beautiful and talented woman like you from. . .anywhere!"
The two laughed, catching up onto the time they missed. Old memories flourished between them, as they spent the whole night talking, laughing, and drinking. Meryl laughed like she laughed during highschool. She'd never really laughed since she started following Vash. Or actually, ever since she started her job at the Bernadelli Insurance Society.
So sit back, relax, and enjoy the story!
