Fine I agree, fine! Cliffies are evil... fine, fine. hehehe Sorry, I know the last chapter was kinda... weird... I was not myself!
Note = yes, dita is different here. Like in what happened in chap 1, she moved on... began to rethink her life :) ok? Understand? coolness!
*********
I started the long walk back to my room. I plopped down on my bed and pretended I was sick and fragile.
Hey someone's at my door!
**********
Dita:
The knocking grew louder. It was annoying me so much! I was tired and depressed. What I've been fighting off and been trying to forget has risen again. Hibiki... when will I be free from you? The knocking was getting louder and ah! It was unbearable.
I opened the door to a truly excited Parfet. She was so happy and I just smiled weakly. I felt bad that I could not be happy for her, whatever the reasons were. She began to tell me about today's events. Turns out Duero was with her the whole time. They talked a whole lot and, well, he asked her to accompany him to Bart's party. Wow! I really felt happy for her, and I tried to show it but I think it all seemed sardonic to my friend. That didn't stop Parfet though. She kept on talking. Hmm, I began to wonder if I was truly happy.
After a while, Parfet did leave. She had to tell Ezra the news, but she was worried about me. She noticed that I was different. Well, I didn't really understand my situation, so I couldn't explain it to her. I just told her I was still in shock from the blast and Hibiki's accident. So, she left unconvinced, and I, on the other hand, was left all alone in my room. I couldn't help but feel lonely. It seemed like everyone had a someone, except me. Am I so awful? Still, I do have my friends. That's what's important. I suppose that as long as people care for me, I'll be fine...
I couldn't help thinking about the past events. I lost myself to fantasy and to my forgotten infatuation. I broke my commitment to be me, just me! I shuddered at the thought of being in love with Hibiki. I acted so ditsy! (no offense! Its just part of the story) it was so bad. I can't believe I can be like that. Hah!
I was too disturbed. I decided to walk around Nirvana just to see what was happening. People were laughing and running around. Jura was convincing Barnette to come in some "costume" for Bart's party. Parfet was with Duero, as usual and Ezra was with her baby (and Pyoro). It was an ordinary day.
I walked slowly to the mess hall. I was near its door when I heard a familiar laugh. It was Misty's. Curious, I decided to check on her when I heard Hibiki's laughter. I was just by the frame of the door. Really, I did not mean to listen in on their conversation. I just heard it by accident.
"So I'll see you at your room before the party?" Hibiki said
"Yes, don't forget me okay?"
"Ya, Ya, we'll see"
*laughter*
I didn't hear anymore. I was already retreating to... anywhere! What was that? Why am I so bothered? It's okay right? Finally, those two are doing something! I'm happy for them. Really! There's no need to be jealous, no, um shocked? Yeah, shocked! It was a given that they'd be together. Yeah...
I wandered around until I found myself in the "garden" (I don't know what that place is called.) I was staring at the infinite number of stars. Aliens? Hmm, really, what was I looking for in aliens? A ray of hope to bring us back to prosperity or really, someone who will make me believe that there actually is hope. My scapegoat... aliens. To be free from all my problems and the struggle of being me!
My thoughts grew deeper. Something I kept to myself. I covered up the fact that I was really a deep thinker with acting ditsy. Well, it seems to work. No one really thinks I'm... well you know. I'm the stupid red-head. Pondering, I was sitting on the grass and totally unaware of the shadow behind me.
"Ey"
I spun around completely shocked. I stared into Hibiki's eyes for the millionth time, but this time he stared right back.
"What are you doing here?" he asked
"Ah, um, nothing... you?"
"I was looking for someone"
"Ah, I see"
"Are you okay? You look so out of it?"
"Yeah... I'm, fine..." I said, turning to face the stars again.
"I thought you'd be the most excited of all. I mean it is Bart's party. You're usually rallying the rest of the crew to prepare for it." He replied, sitting beside me.
"Oh, yeah..."
"Really, are you okay?"
"..."
"Um, anyway, who're you going with or better yet, who are you going as, an alien?"
"... I don't... um, think I can go."
"Huh? Why?!"
"Its too complicated and I... I have to go!"
I stood up quickly and began to walk as fast as I could. I didn't want to run. It would be like I was really trying to avoid him, I don't know! I entered the hallway and that's when I started to race for my room, my refuge. I began to hear footsteps behind me and soon, I heard my name being called out. I quickly looked back to find Hibiki hot on my trail. He was getting nearer and I was feeling so weak inside that I couldn't concentrate on running faster. I trudged on and kept on going when all of a sudden, I was yanked fiercely at the arm. The pull was so strong that I lost my balance completely. I fell backwards trying to grasp onto anything and anyone quickly. It was so fast and complicated. I just remember ending up flat on the floor. Apparently, I brought Hibiki down with me. He was sitting down beside me, checking on his arm and his shirt. I lay paralyzed with fear, embarrassment and fear. I couldn't move.
***********
Hibiki:
That strange girl fell on me! Ah! I think my arm was pinched too hard. I was annoyed! I mean she ran out on me and...
"Oy, Dita, are you okay?"
She just stared at the ceiling. She wasn't unconscious, I'm sure. She nodded as a response. Still, she lay there helplessly. I don't think she fell too hard. Really, I don't think so, but she just continued to stare aimlessly. I noticed that her eyes were shining more than usual. Shining? What? She was tearing. She wasn't crying, but I knew it was coming. She was trying to hold it in. Trying to hide it from me. I felt guilty somehow. I didn't really think it was my fault. I just had to do something. I reached out to shake her shoulder. I felt so uneasy. I haven't told her how I feel, but this wasn't the thought that made me queasy. This girl hardly, almost never, cries without reason. I mean she cries during the climax of battles, but this, this was unexpected of her. Nothing extremely bad happened recently! Something was seriously wrong. She didn't even budge when I touched her. Dita...
She faced me slowly. It seemed like she was finally realizing the fact that she was still on the floor. She tried to sit up and I helped her. It was so quiet. She looked down on the floor and she slowly stood up, wobbling from side to side. That's when I stood up as well and helped her regain her balance. I held her hand and held it tightly. I nervously helped her to her room.
In the foreign surroundings, I remembered a promise I once gave. Hmm, it isn't so bad in a girl's room. I scanned the area for Dita. She was sitting warily on her bed. The girl seemed so weak yet she was extremely willowy when she moved. I was standing by the door, leaning on the wall. I stared at her intently, expecting her to fall down again or something. Suddenly, she looked up at me and I tried to look away, but I kept seeing those eyes.
"Thanks Hibiki, but you don't have to stay. I'm fine."
"Uh, no, its fine"
"But its late, you'll need to sleep"
"but you might..."
I realized it was pointless. Anyway, that was true. Did I expect to sleep with her in this room? Heck, no! I-I-I um that's not right! But how, how? How can I leave her like this? Ah! I'll have to follow her first this time. What can I do?
I left her room quietly, only speaking my farewell when I was half-way out. She smiled back slightly and that was it. Her doors closed shut and I began my long voyage "home".

well? Eeeh... I'm done for now at least. Hehehe was it short? Sorry, I try!
