Chapter Two- Intro to Silver and Ruby
Sapphire slept in a small room with blue wall. She rolled over and opened her eyes. Dante stared at her and she stared back. "How long have you been watching me?" Sapphire enquired a little irritated. "Well," began Dante, "for about an hour, at least." She sat up and gave a sympathizing look. "You have no life, you poor dear," she said, slightly amused. He smiled, "No, I'm just so in love with you." She smiled and gave him a light kiss on the cheek, then rolled out of bed. She got up and stepped into the shower and shivered violently as she waited for the water to warm up. As the warm water flowed over her body, she thought of her dear friends Silver and Ruby. Silver was living with her and Dante, but she recently had departed for her yearly trip to Zambia. Sapphire had opted not to go this year and instead stayed with Dante. Ruby, however, had decided to go with Silver. Sapphire rinsed her hair as she thought of what she would wear. She decided on her black mini skirt and her blue fishnet top. She debated whether or not to wear her combat boots or her stilettos and decided to ask Dante his opinion when she got out. She got dressed and went to make breakfast. When she got into the kitchen, Dante was making bacon and eggs. She went over and kissed him on the cheek. "Thanks, hon. You didn't have to do it." "I know," he replied' "but I just wanted to do something special for you." They ate breakfast, and then began to prepare for the party. "Do you think they'll like this?" Sapphire asked. "Don't be so paranoid!" laughed Dante. "They like everything you do for them. Remember the Christmas party?" Sapphire laughed loudly, "Ah, yes. That was disastrous, but they said it was the greatest party they had ever been to. Go figure!" They finished the preparations, and then put on the T.V. Sapphire began to set up the Playstation 2 while Dante turned the T.V to the right setting. "I can't believe you still play this crap," muttered Dante. "It's not crap," Sapphire snapped as she stepped onto the dance pad. She played Afronova, Dream a Dream, Sandstorm, and finished the round with Drop the Bomb. She continued to play for about an hour before Dante convinced her to let him watch his shows. At around 5:30, Sapphire began to get anxious. "They're going to be here any minute!" she said, running around the house, checking for any misplaced items. Dante managed to calm her down and sat her down on the couch. No sooner had he started to get up, the doorbell rang. "Oh, my gosh, they're here!" screamed Sapphire at the top of her lungs. She ran to the door and wretched it open. Dante covered his ears and squinted his eyes as the worst earsplitting sound known to man was heard at his front door. All three girls had screamed at the top of their lungs in excitement, and were now hugging and greeting each other happily, as if nothing out of the ordinary had occurred. Dante walked over and escorted the girls to the couch. "Wow, you really fixed up the place!" exclaimed Silver. Sapphire beamed at her and went into the kitchen to get the drinks. "What do you all want?" Sapphire called from the kitchen. "Mountain Dew, please!" called Ruby. Silver thought for a moment, and then replied, "Just a Pepsi, if you have it." Sapphire returned with the drinks and they all sat down to talk about what they did and how things had been during their absence. "Well, Zambia was great, as always," explained Silver. "Ruby had a good time, didn't you?" "Oh, yeah!" exclaimed Ruby, jumping up and down, "it was great!" Silver tried to calm Ruby down as Sapphire and Dante laughed. "So," began Silver, "anything new happen while we were gone?" Sapphire looked at Dante lovingly and nodded. "We're engaged!" said Sapphire. Silver grabbed Sapphire's hand to see her ring. Ruby grabbed it away from Silver and examined the stone. "Wow, are those real sapphires?" enquired Ruby. "Of course!" replied a proud Dante. The girls drooled over the ring for a moment, and then Silver asked, "Do you have a date yet?" "Not even!" laughed Dante, "we just got engaged a month ago! We have lots to plan out, yet!" They sat and talked for a few hours until Ruby had to leave. "Sorry about up and leaving!" Ruby said apologetically. "It's fine," replied Sapphire, "but before you go, I have a treat for you guys." Sapphire ran into the kitchen while Ruby and Silver exchanged curious looks. She returned with a huge cake nearly as big as she was. She set it down and Ruby and Silver saw that it was in the shape of Zambia. "Wow, that rocks," exclaimed Ruby and Silver simultaneously. "Doesn't it?" replied Sapphire. They cut the cakes and dished out their pieces. When Ruby had finished, she said goodbye and left. Silver and Sapphire talked for a while over a cup of tea, then went out for dinner, where Ruby met up with them. "Sorry I had to leave like that," explained Ruby, "but you know how my dear husband is." They all laughed as they began to look over the menus. "Try the special, it's divine!" Sapphire suggested to Silver, who was looking at the menu, frustrated. "Really?" Silver asked, unsure. "Oh, yeah," agreed Dante, "one of the best meals here." They ate and conversed, happy to be together again. "Well," said Ruby when she was finished, "I should get going. How much do I owe?" "Oh, the check's on me," answered Sapphire politely, "Silver, stop it, I said it's on me." Silver put back the money she had been taking out. "Are you sure?" Silver asked concernedly. Dante smiled, "You heard her. Don't worry about it. We have it covered tonight. You guys just got back from a long vacation; you deserve a treat from your best friend." They friends departed and Ruby got into her car. "How can she afford that?" she pondered aloud. She turned and looked at the sign at the entrance, which she failed to notice in her rush to meet them earlier. "Ah," she said in realization, "that explains it."
