Priss awoke early that next morning when Sylia knocked on the door.
"Priss, breakfast is gonna be ready in about 15 minutes." She said. "Get yourself cleaned up."
Priss sat up and scratched her head then stood up and walked into the bathroom still yawning and got into the shower. She was letting the hot water fall on her head and started to remember the last shower she took before going after Galatea.
2 years earlier
Priss was in the shower shortly before going after Galatea and was letting the hot water fall on her head as she held onto the arms that were wrapped around her waist.
"Priss." Leon said.
"Yea." Priss said.
"Promise me you'll come back to me." Leon said as he kissed her neck.
"As long as you promise me that no matter how long it takes you'll wait for me." Priss said as she leaned her head back and kissed him on the cheek.
"I promise." Leon said.
Priss turned around in his arms and looked him in the eyes and smiled.
"Then I promise I'll come back to you." She said.
They looked into each others eyes for a moment before they sealed the promise with a kiss.
"You know." Priss said breaking the kiss. "I never thought I'd fall for a cop."
"Priss its time." Linna yelled pounding on the door.
"I'll be there in a minute." Priss yelled back and looked at Leon again. "I love you." She said and kissed him deeply and lovingly.
Present time
"Priss breakfast is ready." Nene yelled as she hammered on the door.
"I'll be there in a minute." Priss yelled and wiped the tears from her eyes. 'Leon, you lire.' She thought and got out of the shower.
She dressed in her old biker outfit that sadly to say was a little tight seeing as she had gained 25 pounds eating hospital food.
'I guess its time for a diet.' She thought as she looked into the mirror.
Sylia and the others were at the table when Priss walked in. Everyone looked at her in her tighter than usual outfit and Nene snickered.
"Gain some weight?" She asked.
"Bite me." Priss said and sat at the table.
"So Priss what are your plans for today?" Sylia asked.
"I want to talk to Linna and Leon." Priss said. "Other than that I'm free."
"Well if you can I'd like you to start work today." Sylia said.
"I'll think about it." Priss said.
"That's all I ask for." Sylia said and continued eating.
Linna and Leon's
Linna lay in Leon's arms sleeping peacefully as Leon looked at her.
'I can't help but feel bad for Priss.' He thought. 'I was crushed when she didn't come back like she promised.'
"No matter how long it takes promise me you'll wait for me." Priss's words kept running through his mind as he lay there looking at his wife.
'I'm sorry I broke our promise.' He thought and went back to sleep.
Silky Doll
Sylia and Nene did a quick walk through of the store with Priss showing her how to work the cash register and other things before she headed for Linna and Leon's. Priss was on the highway riding her bike as if nothing had ever changed. She was passing cars left and right and as usual speeding.
'I almost forgot how much fun this was.' She thought as she passed another car.
She was almost to Linna and Leon's when a thought hit her. She pulled off the highway and parked her bike in a small parking lot and took off her helmet.
'What am I gonna say?' She thought. 'I can't just go in there and ask them how long I was gone before they started sleeping together.'
She sat on her bike for a few minutes thinking about what she was gonna say before continuing on to Linna's.
Linna and Leon's
Linna and Leon were just finishing breakfast and were sitting down on the couch to watch a movie when they heard the familiar sound of Priss's bike coming to a stop out side their house.
'I can guess why she's here.' Linna thought as she went to meet her at the door.
Priss was standing outside the door still wondering what to say when Linna opened the door.
"I think I know why you're here." She said and let her old friend in.
Leon was sitting on the couch with a cup of coffee and looking at the ground when Priss walked in. Priss stood in the door way looking at him before she sighed and walked over to the couch and sat down.
"I don't even get a hello?" Priss asked.
"Hello." Leon said.
"You don't have to be so down." Priss said.
"I..I just don't know what to say." Leon said.
"Don't say any thing." Priss said. "I just have one question."
"You want to know how we fell in love right?" Linna asked.
"Yea." Priss said.
"This is some what of a long story so sit back and make your self comfortable." Linna said. "As I'm sure you know by now we have been married for 7 months now. We dated for only 4 months before we decided to get married."
"Talk about moving fast." Priss said.
"After the fight with Galatia Nene and I landed on an island." Linna said. "We were rescued by the US Coast Guard cutter Toatha de Danaan. We made up a story that we were out pleasure boating when out boat sank taking everyone but Nene and I with it. After about a week we were returned to Tokyo and were met by Sylia, Nigel, Mackey and Leon. Leon only wanted to know if you were with us. When we told him what happened in the fight with Galatea he went into a state of depression."
"I was crushed when you didn't come back." Leon said.
"It took him almost 3 months to some out of it." Linna said. "I was also very upset that you didn't return and Leon tried to help me as I helped him. It was a good 6 months later when I realized I had feelings for him but I kept them to myself in fear of losing him as a friend. It was not until 4 months later when I ran into him at a concert at Hot Legs when I finally confessed my feelings and I sat there waiting for him to leave."
"But he didn't." Priss said.
"No he didn't." Linna said. "He took me by the hand and led me out on the dance floor. And it was there in that bar where he shared our first kiss. And before either of us knew it we were in love."
Priss sat on the couch with her head lowered as she took the story in and finally with a sigh she looked up at Linna and smiled. She reached out and pulled her friend into a hug as she started to cry.
"I'm glad I have friends that held onto the hope I was alive." She said.
Priss let Linna go and stood up and cleared the tears from her eyes.
"Well I don't know how much this matters to you two but I want to give my blessing on your marriage and wish you the best and a happy future." She said.
"Priss." Leon said and stood up. "You're blessing means more to us than anything in this world." He said and gave her a hug.
"But you know you're still a lire." Priss said jokingly.
"Sorry." Leon said and laughed.
Linna stood up and walked to the two of them and joined them in a group hug.
"So." Priss said as they separated. "Do you have a name for the baby?"
"Well if it's a boy we'll name him Kenny and if it's a girl we were gonna name her Priscilla after you." Linna said. "With your permission that is."
"Well she won't be as beautiful as I am but I'll say yes on one condition." Priss said.
"Name it." Linna said.
"I can be her Godmother." Priss said.
"That's just fine with me." Linna said and hugged Priss again.
1 year later
Priss started her job at the silky doll but before long she quit because she just couldn't stand being nice to everyone all the time and she started another band and started recording songs with a small record company. Linna gave birth to an 8 pound 3 ounce baby girl on September 1st 2045 and named her Priscilla Adalma McNickle with Priss's permission and blessing. Nene and Mackey were married less than a month after Priscilla's birth. Priss is still single but that suits her just fine because that leaves her free to sleep around whenever she wants. And so life continues in Mega Tokyo day by day and everyone is happy with the way it all turned out.
(Ok that's it for I'm back I hope you liked it.)
