Aqua blue eyes fluttered awake as they rested on a rickety cot. Lu sat up and rubbed her blond head. "Ouchie..." As she swung her legs to the side of the bed, the room began to spin and her stomach began to rumble. Putting her hands over her mouth and stomach, she tried not to barf. A great BURP came from her, which people from downstairs at the inn could hear. "Yuck!" Lu said with her tounge laying out of her mouth. The taste in her mouth was grimy and sickening. "It must be the beer..." The blond head stuck itself out the window to look at the sun. "Its about noonish. Time for LUNCH!" Lu yelled as she ran out the door. Just as she turned the corner, the small girl bumped into a young man.
"Hey-wwooooooaaa!" Gabriel grabbed Lu's arm as he fell backwards down the stairs. In a tangle of legs, arms and blond hair, the two landed at the bottom of the steps. Everyone directed their attention to the pair. Aldreasa saw them while she was sitting in a nearby corner. She covered her face in embarrassment.
"Lu..." The young blond poked her head up as she heard her name. She looked over at Aldreasa who had a very disappointed look on her face. Trying to act innocent, Lu gave her a flashy smile.
"Good morning Aldy!" The dark haired girl walked over to her friends.
"Would you get off him already!" Aldreasa grabbed Lu by the arm, pulling her to her feet. Lu got up, tripping over her own feet and hitting Gabriel in the head.
"Ow!"
"I'm really sorry, Gabriel. You'll have to exucse her, she's an idiot." She said, sneering at LU. Gabriel got up, dusting himself off.
"I am NOT an idiot, you...idiot!" Aldreasa gave her a motherly stare down that always made Lu cringe and want to run for dear life. It reminded her too much of Meryl.
"Its alright, I'm fine." Gabriel said breaking the ice. Aldreasa gave him a concerned look, but Lu smiled and patted him on the back roughly.
"See Aldy? No sweat! We're just peachy keen!" The curly haired man winced as Lu repeatidly smacked his back. Aldreasa hit Lu over the head, giving her a new bump. "Ouchie! What ya do that for?" She whined. Aldreasa gave a flirtatious smile for Gabriel, ignoring Lu.
"We'll treat you to lunch for all the trouble you've gone through for us. Sound good?" Gabriel smiled back at her.
"You just wanna flir-" Green cold eyes shot a death glare at Lu that made her stop in her sentence. Lu giggled nervously. "Never mind! Lets go get some food!"
"I know this great place to eat. The cook is the best around." Aldreasa followed behind the cute blond as her insane friend danced around the two of them singing one of her silly songs about food. Everyone at the inn watched with disgusted interest as the young people left the room. Then they turned their heads back to drinks and chess games.
Out in the desert...
Vash was walking ahead of Meryl and Millie, thinking about what he had heard in Meryl's head last night. There were so many incoherent thoughts and jumbled words that it was hard for Vash to understand anything, but he had gotten the information he wanted. It guilted him to invade someone's privacy like that. He needed to know the truth though and Meryl wouldn't ever tell him.
'How could I have been so blind!?' Vash clenched his fist. 'The reason why Meryl left was because of Knives, but me too. I was always going back and forth to Knives and Meryl. I'd be gone for weeks or months before coming home. It hurt Meryl everytime she had to watch me turn my back and leave. I guess it was just easier for her to turn and leave herself. And then Knives and his painful words to her. I missed out on so much because of him! My own brother kept me away from my Meryl and my daughter...'
Vash turned around and looked at the two insurance girls. Millie was humming a little tune, looking all about the desert as though every inch was interesting. Meryl was staring down at the ground lost in her own thoughts about Vash and her daughter. 'My Meryl' Vash couldn't believe there was a time when him and the Insurance girl hadn't known the love they had for one another. He smiled, looking in front of him. 'I'll change and make up for what I've missed. I promise you, Meryl.'
'I promise you, Meryl' Vash's voice whispered in Meryl's head, interrupting her thoughts of last night's kisses. She looked up at the man walking in front of her, leading the way to her daughter. 'Our daughter' She corrected herself. The Insurance girl smiled. Vash smiled as well.
"Are we there yet?" Millie's voice broke through the thinking. Vash turned around, laughing.
"Not quite, but I'm sure we'll reach it by morning if we don't stop tonight." Meryl sighed deeply.
"I don't remember Sydney being this far away, Vash." The petie woman said with much irritation. A nervous laugh escaped Vash as he scratched his head.
"Well, I kind of lead us in the wrong direction after the car blew up." Meryl stopped and took three deep breaths. Millie pounced on Vash and shook him before Meryl could say a word.
"WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL US! I WANT TO SEE MY DAUGHTER NOW!" Meryl's eyes bulged out and Vash was just as surprised as her. Millie let go of Vash as she noticed what she was doing. "Oh, I'm sorry to have raised my voice, Mr. Vash. Uhm, lets keep walking if we want to make it before morning!" The tall woman said, walking ahead. Meryl and Vash exchanged looks of amazement as they followed suit behind the strange woman.
Gabriel, followed by Lu and Aldreasa walked into Josek's bar. Gabriel had his hands in his pocket whistling a tune to Lu's blabbering song. Aldreasa walked in very uptight. The bar wasn't that clean or brightly lit. There was a thick layer of smoke in the air. Her green eyes caught a man in the back smoking away at his long pipe. From underneath a large hat, cold dark eyes watched both girls carefully.
"What'd it be, gals?" The bartender asked, breaking Aldreasa's train of thought.
"They're with me, Josek." Gabriel told the man as he headed into the back room. The bartender smiled wickedly, examining the two young ladies. The one with dark hair and paled skin sat quietly and gently into her chair at the bar. But the other, who was blond and had brilliant blue eyes jumped in her seat spinning around like a five year old child.
"Well, aren't you two an odd pair? How did Gabe manage to get you gals to come here with him?" Aldreasa just smiled kindly at the man. She was about to explain when Lu interjected.
"Well, ya see, Me and Aldy were drivin along on the open road when this horrible gang of nasty men and their leader, Mr. Stinkuglyman,-" Aldreasa rolled her eyes.
"Mad Dog" She said under her breath, but Lu didn't pay attention.
"He took my dad's gun so we HAD to get it back!" Gabriel began putting on his apron behind the counter. "So, after I healed from getting popped in the head at the Tucker's farm, I ran out of the house to find Aldy. I found her on the porch with Gabey" She pointed at the curly haired young man as he began frying hamburger on the stove. "They were talkin about Peter Pan and Wendy and Tinkerbell. We used to play that when we were all kids at the orphanage..." Lu continued to tell her story with much excitement about Mad Dog and Henry as Aldreasa began talking to Gabriel.
"So, you're the great cook here?" Aldreasa asked with a charming smile. Gabriel shot the same smile back at her. 'He's so cute' She thought in her head.
"I've been a kitchen boy ever since I left the orphanage. Uncle Josek owns the bar and always makes sure I'm working and not getting into trouble." The hamburger sizzled on the frying pan. Aldreasa's radiant green eyes watched carefully. 'Wow, she's gorgeous.'
"I guess my mother tried to keep me out of trouble, but when you live in a growing city like Flores it gets tough." Aldreasa sighed. "Mother helped me stay out of trouble, but whenever I got caught up in it, Lu was there to rescue me."
"Lu?" Gabriel asked not believing it. Lu stopped talking to Uncle Josek, hearing her name.
"What did you say?"
"Nothing, keep telling your story." Aldreasa instructed with the wave of her heand.
"Okie dokie! So, after we turned Mr. Stinkyuglyman in..."
"How could SHE help YOU get out of trouble?" Gabriel asked pointing his spatula at the blond girl who was now making strange actions to her story. Aldreasa giggled.
"I know it may sound a little funny, but she knows how to stand up for herself and others. Don't you remember how she always kept us out of trouble from my mama and Meryl?" Gabriel tossed the burgers up, catching them on buns. He prepared to put lettuce, tomato, cheese and the essentials on them.
"Ya know, I do. Its just hard to remember all the strong points of her when you see her stumbling around and being the kid she is." He came around the front and set the plates of fries and cheesburgers in front of Lu and Aldreasa.
"Yummie!" Lu immediately began digging in, still telling her story to Uncle Josek only with a mouth full. " My number on the bar was just awesome! I had every villagers dancing and singing..." Aldreasa shook her head, picking up her delicious looking burger.
"So, why did you leave mother? I thought you and her got along" Aldreasa kept her gaze on the curly haired man as he took of his apron. She could just simply say that her baka decided to run off into the desert and she was there to keep watch. Aldreasa knew that wasn't the whole part of it.
'Do I really want to know about my father? Is that why I left my mother?' Her green eyes studied the burger she hadn't bitten into yet. 'Lu's insane blabbering about finding truth must've gotten to me.' She smiled at the mere thought.
"On the house gals." Josek set two large glasses of alcohol on the counter for the two girls. Lu immediately began chugging the harsh liquor. "My specialty" The bartender said with a grin. Aldreasa gasped at Lu.
"BayLu!" The blond girl didn't let her glass down until the whole thing had been guzzled. The bartender laughed nervously and scratched the back of his head.
"Haven't met too many people who could down the whole drink in one breath." Lu set down her cup and burped a bubble. She smiled happily. Aldreasa shook her head and before she knew it, Lu grabbed her glass and began inhaling it.
"What do you think you're doing!?" Lu stopped and set down the cup. She had a foam mustache around her lips.
"You weren't gonna drink it were you?" Aldreasa sighed heavily and Lu smiled before continuing drinking the rest. Gabriel watched in amazement while Lu drank away.
"Wow, she must have a very high tolerance for alcohol..." Uncle Josek put out tow more cups of his 'specialty' for Lu. The petite girl smiled and buried her face in the cups. Aldreasa painfully looked over at her friend.
"I guess she found something other than donuts..."
