Trio lay in bed for two days to regain her strength. One of the G-Alloids
was always with her while the others enjoyed the sites of Athens. They came
back every day to tell her of their adventures, sometimes bringing back a
trinket or two. Trio (more often than not) pouted at being left out of the
fun but rarely argued with the unanimous decision.
It was a week before Trio left the house and it was none too soon. She thought she was going to go crazy from being stuck in that room since she had arrived. The group spent the day shopping and seeing the sights. Trio almost cried when she thought about how she thought she had lost Kamui all those years ago and then here he was shopping and laughing with her.
Later that night Kamui finally talked with the G-Alloids about their plan. He agreed they should leave Earth and that L3. He even agreed to go with them and help them get to space. Nekura was none too happy that they would have another G-Alloid to catch when the time came; Trio was proving to be a handful as it was.
The next day as they were shopping Kamui ran into a young and beautiful girl. She kindly (but snotty-like) reminded Kamui about her birthday party the next day and that he promised to come. When he pointed out his best friend, Trio was in town and they were going to be leaving to the colonies the girl (her name was Marianne) glared at Trio and informed him he had to at LEAST make an appearance. Kamui asked if he could bring his guests along and Marianne grudgingly agreed to his plea.
The whole day of Marianne's party was spent in preparation for the trip. Geovin was very unwilling to let Kamui leave but Kamui told him it was his best interest to leave. Geovin was depressed the whole day but paused his mood to call and order tickets for the kids to go up to space; he paid for the tickets so they could use their money for food.
***** With their stuff packed and next to the door the group walked the ΒΌ mile to Marianne's house. It was a small white house with a small fence surrounding it. Tons of cars were parked along the street and the music could be heard blaring down the street.
"They could get in trouble for that," Shinna pointed out grumpily. Trey and Shinna had steadily disagreed to going but Kamui managed to badger them into coming. Trio was indifferent.
"You complain too much, Shinna," Kamui retorted.
"It's loud and annoying, it's not complaining."
"It's just pointing out the obvious."
"And I can point it out if I want!"
"Would you two," Trio reprimanded.
Shinna laughed and slugged Kamui, "We're just kidding around, right, Kamui?"
"Yea." Kamui replied as they reached the front door and rang the bell. Marianne's mother came to the door.
"Oh, my, Kamui, how nice to se you. Who are you're friends? I didn't anticipate extra guests."
"I'm sorry, Miss. We won't be staying. I had to bring Marianne her gift." Kamui pulled out a small box from behind his back.
"Why thank you," she replied, "but wouldn't it be nice to say Happy Birthday to her?"
Kamui laughed nervously, "Of course."
The group followed the mom and soon ran into a loud, messy, crowded room.
'Apparently she's very popular,' Shinna muttered.
'Yes, I guess she is,' Trey replied.
Marianne, who was dancing soon noticed the group and ran over. She gave Trio a dirty look and hugged Kamui.
"Kamui, you made it, GREAT!"
"I can't stay long, Marianne, I've got to go to the space port."
"What?!" She exploded angrily. Most of the people in the room turned to watch.
"I told you yesterday that I could only stop by."
"It's because of her!" Marianne bawled, pointing at the surprised Trio.
"It's not her fault!" Kamui snapped. "I haven't seen her in many years! She's just a friend."
"You're leaving because of her," Marianne whispered venomously.
"I'm going with THEM yes, and I'm sorry I couldn't stay long, however," Kamui turned around to leave, "why would I want to stay if you're going to act like a jealous, spoiled brat! My life doesn't revolve around yours, never has and never will, Marianne. I've got a few more obligations that being around such a jealous girl. She's an old best friend from my childhood, that's all." Kamui stepped into the doorway. "Oh, Happy Birthday." Kamui left calmly with the group standing for a moment in awe. Marianne stared at him as he left.
"Guess she lost that bet," one girl whispered.
"What bet?" Her friend whispered back.
"She made a bet that she'd kiss Kamui and make him buy her a gift or something. Then after he'd bought her a ton of stuff she'd dump him."
"She was going to embarrass the most popular guy in school like that?"
"Yea, but I guess he saw through her."
"Kamui," Trio said, quickly following him outside. "That was a little harsh wasn't it?"
"If you think that's harsh, wait till you see the gift I got that brat," Kamui smirked.
"What?"
"It's a book about a high school boy and what he went through to become popular. He did everything he could, hurt people, pushed them aside, and beat them up and such. Then one day he met someone stronger, nicer and gentler than him. He noticed that all the people he talked to knew the guy and admired him. That ticked him off that this new guy had gotten up so quickly and he made a bet to embarrass him, however, the nice guy got wind of it beforehand and thwarted the other boy."
"What does this have to do with Marianne?"
"She did that on her way to the top of the popularity pole. I was the second boy. I angered her when I rose quickly and she planned on making me into a fool."
"Well, I admit the gift was a good idea if she gets the hint, but."
"That's why I had to say those things. She will realize after she starts the book that that's what happened at her party."
"That is a good idea, but I still can't believe you said that though."
"Sometimes things just have to be done," was all Kamui would say as the teens walked back towards the house, oblivious of the scheming of Nekura with his news source inside the completely ignorant Aka.
