The Date!!!
*
Now, let's see what the reviewers want to know!
TFRiD Queen: Actually, I have NO clue what they're seeing. Probably some movie I liked . . . I don't own it either . . . I'll come up with it when I get there . . . ^^;
Fofa the Wind Goddess: Yes, falling down 3 sets of stairs hurts. Heck, falling down 1 set of stairs hurts. Trust me, I know from personal experience.
DarkLink313: Okay, she [Serra] might not be THAT annoying. I still like calling her the 'pink haired annoyance'. That would be something Erk would call her . . . OW!
~ Serra: leave my Erky alone!! * runs off crying *
~ Anyway, I don't' see how anyone can pair her with Erk . . .
bladegryphon: Yes, Pete and Sherbert are in the school! ^_^ They hang around with Fuzz, and all 3 occasionally hang around Guy or Erk.
DTN: Thanks for the picture! (I think it was you . . . I can't remember now ^^;;;;) Maybe I should've saved that URL . . .^^;
I do not own whatever movie that Eliwood and Lyn see. I just picked a random movie that I liked, and decided to go with it. I also don't own the restaurant they go to. There's no way that I could own Subway. Hmmm . . . Subway . . . *drools Homer Simpson style *
And Fuzz, Pete and Sherbert are from The Diary of Erk, which is owned by Ivanfanatic. So she owns them. I don't. You can thank her for creating the three myrmidons.
*
Ainda peered over at Erk's homework. "Is it hard?"
He grunted. That usually meant no. "No? 'Cause I'm having a hard time with it."
"Well maybe then you shouldn't have skipped a couple grades . . . OW!!"
Erk was now rubbing the top of his head, from the impact of Ainda's fist. "It's not like I'm gonna FAIL 'cause I don't get it!! I just need to ask Pent!! He's the principal! Plus, he used to teach at the University! He should know what he's talking about!"
"Sure, and he knows why he's adopted both of us."
"I think it was Louise that wanted him to teach me. I can't remember it correctly, but they told me that Pent took you in 'cause you 'were a smart boy, and could be the most powerful magician if he wanted to be'. That's a laugh!!"
The boy's right eye twitched a bit. "I hear that from Serra and Hector. I don't need to hear it from you!!" He threw his pillow at her to get the girl out of his room. "Leave! Get out!! I have HOMEWORK to do!!"
"Okay okay!! I'm going already!!"
Louise sighed. "Can't those two get along at home?"
"Well, they get along at school. I don't see why they don't apply it to home." Pent sighed, stirring the spoon in his coffee.
"Maybe they can act more like THEMSELVES at home. You can see how stuck up Ainda can get at times out in public." Louise continued. "Maybe it's because her parents didn't really want her . . . Maybe that's why she acts that way to other people."
"You give them too much credit. They can't do everything you expect them to do!!"
"Hey, it's better then giving them to little credit!" His wife argued back, looking insulted.
Pent sighed. "I suppose your right." Decided to change the subject, he looked towards Erk's room. "When are we gonna tell them?"
Louise blushed, and put a hand on her stomach. "I think fairly soon. They aren't stupid, and they WILL notice!!'
The man across from her laughed, and took a sip of his coffee. He had some schoolwork to attend to, but he would leave it until after dinner. Louise would be cooking spaghetti!!
*
"Heh heh heh . . ." The brown-haired girl laughed. Erk had been down all day. It was Friday, and Serra had wanted to go to a movie on Friday. Which was today. And now, Erk had to take her to any movie of her choice, and he couldn't complain about it.
"SHUT UP!!!" Erk yelled at Ainda, both of which were riding in Pent's car.
"BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP!!!" Louise yelled to the back of the car. Both Erk and Ainda were shocked, and immediately shut their mouths. They gave each other looks of questions. * Is she on PMS or something? *
*
"She agreed to go out with Eliwood?!" Rebecca, Nino and Serra were talking at their lunch table. The teen in question was nervous. Everyone was now talking about it. They were even congratulating him, and patting him on the back.
"Why are they all congratulating me? I only asked her to go on a date! It's not like I asked to MARRY her!!" Eliwood questioned (to no one in particular).
Hector laughed. "It's because YOU, in particular, haven't gone on a date EVER!! The first time you asked you were shot down! I guess everyone's happy that you finally are going on your first date!"
"You lucky devil!!" Sain came up to Eliwood, and patted him on the back, hard. That made Eliwood cough up the bite of his sandwich he had just swallowed.
"* Hack * . . . Hi Sain."
"Nasty thing you coughed up. What is it?"
"My sandwich."
"Oh . . . . well, why did LYN go out with you instead of me?"
". . . I asked. Did you?"
"Yeah!!!"
"Tell me what you did wrong."
". . ."
"I see then . . ."
*
"Alright . . . watch, check. Money in case I need it, check. Decent looking clothes (he was wearing a nice looking red t-shirt and jeans), check. Dad's car keys, check. Good. I'm off!" He stuffed his wallet in his back pants pocket, picked up his dad's car keys, and was out the door.
"I can't believe it's his first date!!" Elenora was excited. The first time her little guy was actually socializing with a girl!
"Don't get that excited Elenora. He's probably trying to get to know her." Elbert tried to calm her down. He was reading the newspaper, and wasn't really paying attention.
"Elbert!! This is your one and only sons' first time going out with a girl!! You should be happy for him!!"
"I'm leaping with joy when you aren't around, dear." He said, sounding a bit monotonous, and flipping to the next page.
"Grr . . . well, I'M happy for him!!" She then walked off to the kitchen.
"You gave him MY cell phone, didn't you?"
". . . What if it's an EMERGENCY?! What if the building catches on fire? What if it spontaneously combusts? What if he accidentally wets his pants?"
". . .. Stop being so paranoid. He's old enough to NOT wet his pants! Besides, what's the chance of the building spontaneously combusting?"
". . .. Okay, maybe I AM a little paranoid . . ."
*
"Wow!! Sweet lookin' car!! . . . . Is it your Dad's?"
"Yeah, unfortunately." Eliwood had driven up to Lyn's house in his Dad's red sports' car. They normally used a family car for most activities, but Elbert also had a cooler looking car (Maybe for when Eliwood started dating. Who knows?).
"You don't have to open the door for me." Lyn climbed into the vehicle, and added as Eliwood got in and clicked his seat belt in.
"No, but it's a gentlemanly thing to do. Besides, it's my first date." Eliwood blushed upon realizing what he had just said. * Crap. Now she knows it's my first date ever! *
"Oh. Well, I thought it was sweet." Lyn finished the subject, and started another one. "So, where are we going?"
"Well, I was thinking of going to a movie, and then dinner. You know, the normal thing."
"What movie?" The green-haired teen asked her date.
"You pick." He replied, and started driving onto the main road.
Lyn grinned, and did the small 'yes!' fist shoot.
*
"Hmmm . . . no, how about that one?"
"Pirates of the Carribean?"
Lyn was thinking of what movie they could see. "Hmmm . . . ok!"
"There. And it only took you about twenty minutes!!"
"Har har." Lyn retorted, taking her ticket from Eliwood. They both went inside. Lyn went to get a couple of seats, while Eliwood went to get the snacks. Some popcorn and a pop would do nicely . . .
"Erk! What are you doing here?" Eliwood asked the young magician, who happened to be standing in front of him in the line.
Erk turned around, and noticed Eliwood. "Oh, it's you." He relaxed a bit. "Remember how I said that I would only go out with Serra if the girls' team won a volleyball game?"
Eliwood had to think for a moment before nodding. "Yep. Oh yeah! They won the last game we played in gym!"
The boy further in the line sighed. "Yeah, and she got to choose the movie. I was thinking of poisoning her popcorn, but I think Pent would find out and ground me." His face had a very depressed look to it. "So, what are you doing here?"
"I'm on a date with Lyn . . ."
"Ooooh . . . awwww . . ."
"Cut it out Erk!!" Eliwood's temper was starting to rise a bit.
*
"LYN!! What are YOU doing here?!" Lyn suddenly heard her name, and before she knew it, there was Serra, right in her face.
"I'm here with Eliwood." Lyn replied.
"So you DID agree!!" She squealed again, [although she knew why Lyn was here] disturbing the people sitting in their seats.
"Shhh!"
"Shut up! I'm waiting for the movie to start!"
"Serra, be quiet!!" Lyn whispered harshly to the pink-haired teenager. She nodded reluctantly, and went to sit in a seat.
Lyn found a couple of seats in the back. She didn't want to crank her neck to high, making it uncomfortable, or have her eardrums explode. She sat down, and waited for Eliwood.
"HEY!!!" Serra seemed to appear right next to Lyn, making the Sacaen girl scream in the movie theatre.
"Didn't we tell you to be QUIET?!"
"Serra! What are you DOING!!!" Lyn whispered to Serra again. "You're being a disturbance! Please, just quiet down!" She sighed, and crossed her arms. * I hope Eliwood comes soon . . . *
"But I just had a great idea! Erk and me could sit with you and Eliwood!" Serra quietly whined.
Lyn felt a hand on her shoulder. "Hey. Got some popcorn." It was Eliwood, followed by Erk. He looked very reluctant, but sat next to Serra anyway. Maybe it's because as soon as he entered the theatre, she grabbed his hand and wouldn't let go. Eliwood sat next to Lyn, and handed her the drink.
"Thanks."
The theatre lights went dark, and the movie started (not until after some ads and previews, anyway).
*
It was about maybe an hour into the movie. And after a few unsuccessful attempts, Serra was still trying to get her head on Erk's shoulder. But he would move every time she tried it. But the poor guy couldn't leave his seat (Serra had her hand attached to him). Now the she-devil looked just down right frustrated.
"Psst! . . . wanna switch seats?" Erk whispered quietly to Eliwood.
The replier looked at Erk for a second before responding (maybe he thought Erk was crazy for a moment). "No. I want to sit next to MY date, not yours." (Serra was sitting next to Erk, who was next to Eliwood, who was beside Lyn)
Erk gave him a small glare before sighing. * Gee, thanks a lot, Eliwood. *
Then the young magician in training winced. Serra now had an even tighter hold on him. He sighed again, and was starting to hope that maybe the building would catch on fire, or something.
"I think she likes you, Erk." Eliwood whispered to the boy in question. Erk just hissed him a low growl, and got up, saying he had to go to the bathroom (He didn't really. He just wanted to get away from Serra).
Serra moved into the conveniently empty seat next to Lyn. "Why do you think he doesn't like me?" She half whispered (And half whined) to Lyn.
"Sh! I'm watching the movie!"
The pink-haired annoyance just glared at Lyn, and then went back to her seat.
*
Erk was hiding in the bathroom * Serra would never come in here. I know she wouldn't . . . . would she? *
He looked at his watch. * Good. Another half hour until the movie ends. Maybe . . . nah. Too risky. * He had been thinking of just leaving the theatre, but then Pent would be suspicious. And then Serra would kill him at school the next day. It wouldn't be worth it.
"ERKY!!!" Serra was calling his pet name outside of the washrooms. "I KNOW YOU'RE IN THERE!! COME OUT PLEASE!!"
"ONLY WHEN HELL FREEZES OVER!!!" He yelled back at her.
She reeled back a bit in shock. "FINE THEN!! I'M GOING HOME!!!" She screeched at him through the door of the men's washroom, and stomped off. She didn't live that far away from the theatre, so Pent wouldn't ground Erk for not escorting her home.
"Well, that was the worst movie experience of my life. At least she's going to leave me alone now." Erk sighed. Then he laughed. "She might even go out with Sain!" Then he stopped laughing, and shuddered.
"I may as well go home now. Nothing left for me here to do."
*
"I don't know what Serra sees in Erk! He's constantly mean to her!" Lyn was talking to Eliwood while they were eating at Subway.
"Maybe it's that school girl crush thing. Only taken to the next level. Yeah, I agree. Erk has NO interest in her what so ever. Heck, the only person I think Erk could take an interest in is Priscilla! But she's dating Guy!"
"Guy is the guy with the braid, right?"
"Yeah. And why are we talking about other people's relationships?"
Some male voice interrupted them from behind Lyn. "WHAT ABOUT PRISCILLA?!?!"
"AH!! Raven!!" Eliwood almost screamed.
"Raven? Who are you?" Lyn asked him.
"I'm Raven, as Eliwood said. Now, what does this 'Guy' look like? And tell me what Erk looks like too." He glared at them, turning his gaze from Lyn to Eliwood.
Eliwood knew from personal experience (he saw someone else get beat up) that Raven would pound Erk and Guy into the pulp in orange juice. But if he [Eliwood] lied, HE would get pounded. "Uhh . . ."
Raven tried to coax Eliwood. "I won't hurt you. Heck, I'll give you five dollars. Now, WHAT DO THEY LOOK LIKE?!!"
Lyn could sense Eliwood's fear. "Guy is a person with a braid, and just ask Pent about Erk!" She blurted.
"That's very rocky . . . but it's a start. Here's the five dollars." Raven shoved it into Lyn's hand and rushed out the door.
"Aw great, now they're gonna get KILLED!!! You might want to deny that YOU told Raven what they look like!" Eliwood exclaimed.
"Just who IS Raven anyway?"
Eliwood cleared his throat. "Raven is Priscilla's older brother. He would beat up ANYONE that would even TALK to her. So, he was sent to the boy's only school halfway across town."
"Really?" Lyn sounded surprised. "Wow."
"Yeah. Priscilla had been taken into a foster family when they were little 'cause their parents couldn't afford two kids. So Raven visits her when ever he can." Eliwood explained even further.
Lyn cocked her head to the side and continued. "Well, I understand why he'd be worried about her."
"Yeah, but I think he takes that duty a little too far. Lucius would know more. He's a friend with Raven. He's pretty much the connection between Raven and Priscilla." Eliwood sighed. "Let's hope Erk and Guy are nimble enough to evade him!"
"Now I feel bad . . ." Lyn mumbled, looking a bit depressed.
"Maybe we can do something . . ."
"Yeah! Lucius can tell them! Assuming that we tell him soon!"
"Isn't he your partner for your class with Mr. Wallace?" Eliwood thought out loud.
Lyn nodded. "I'll call him tonight!"
--- --- ---
Hey! I got typing!
Hector: Yeah, after you started your second play through!
Well I'm gonna try for more supports this time!
Florina: Please review! Or she just might forget about us again!
I didn't forget about you!
Farina: Suuuuurrrree . . .
I'm not even PLAYING Hector's story!
Hector: You're playing Eliwood's again?
Shut up Hector.
