Take Action
Chapter 2: Broom Head and Rotten Sisters
Smelling burnt pancakes, Meryl had no choice but to wake up. The smell was rather strong and there seemed to be a small amount of smoke in the room. Coughing, Meryl got up and exited the room only to find more smoke. Meryl found the stairs and basically tumbled down. Before getting up, Meryl made sure that she didn't have a concussion. Who the heck was making breakfast? Whoever it was, sure could get the toast crispy.
"What the heck is going on here?" Meryl shouted, but then hacked because of all the smoke.
"Sorry, thought I'd help cook breakfast."
Meryl stopped. The voice was just like she remembered. It was he, the blonde haired broom head. This was like a dream come true...he was back. Meryl then snapped back into reality and helped Vash gain control of the breakfast.
"Geez, I'm never letting you cook breakfast until you've been properly trained." Meryl discarded the burnt pancakes and then started the stove up again. "I'm going to cook the breakfast this morning."
"Thanks Insurance Girl, but I really was hoping to cook this morning since you're letting me stay here." Vash looked at Meryl with a smile.
Meryl had taken a seat at the table across from Vash and picked up the newspaper. She wanted to hide her face, for she knew she was blushing. Vash was looking pretty good, he was wearing loose clothes and his hair was slightly down. He didn't seem too hurt, but she thought she should ask. "Vash...are you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine, but Knives needs some patching up. Don't worry about it though because I took care of it." Vash gave a slight smile.
"Where exactly did you put Knives?" Meryl folded the newspaper because she felt the blush die down.
"Oh, I put him in the room with the white door. Meryl I hate to say, but you should get rid of the bumps in the beds." Vash cringed just in case he received a pop in the head.
"VASH ARE YOU CRAZY!!" Meryl was horror-stricken. That was no ordinary bump in the bed. "VASH, THAT'S MY SISTER'S ROOM!!"
"WHAT! You have to be kidding!" Vash was now standing up.
Meryl stood up and sprinted towards the stairs, but before she could actually climb the stairs a loud shriek was cast.
"AHHHHHHHHHH!" A mortified Mina came sprinting down the stairs and she was not happy.
"Mina, I know..." but Meryl was cut short.
"THERE IS A MAN IN MY BED!!" Mina had a furious look on her face, which Meryl sought to get rid of.
"Mina, let me start over. I know that there is a..." she was cut short again.
"Obviously you are not comprehending me...GET HIM OUT OF MY BED!" Mina then noticed Vash hiding under the table. "And who is he?" she pointed at Vash.
"Hey scary lady." Vash gave a slight wave to Mina.
"Vash get out from under there and move your brother to another room, one that is not occupied." Meryl was now getting angry and to top it off something smelled like burnt cloth. The other two smelt it too and looked at Meryl. "Alright, Vash go do what I just told you to do and I'll take care of the kitchen."
Vash hurriedly ran up the stairs to go move his brother. Mina helped Meryl extinguish the burning washrag. "I'll go to the store and purchase some donuts, since everything seems to go burning." Meryl was about to walk out the door when...
"You're not going out in that, are you?" Mina asked pointing to Meryl's nightclothes, which consisted of one large shirt that went just below her thighs.
"You're right, I better change."
"No, I'll go. This way I won't have to change and I'll be back when everyone is awake. Maybe this trip to buy donuts will calm me down some more." Meryl didn't like the fact that Mina would be going in a white tank top with short blue shorts, but Mina could handle herself.
"Looks like you have me beat. I trust that you know where the store is, right?"
"You got it." Mina slipped on some shoes and walked out the door.
Meryl decided to check up on Vash. She walked down to a room with the door slightly ajar. Peaking in, Meryl saw Vash wrapping a blanket around Knives, who was still sleeping. Vash looked up and Meryl was slightly startled, but then she walked in.
"How is Knives?" Meryl was trying to be supportive and knew that if Knives did wake up, that Vash would protect them.
"He's doing alright. He should wake up this morning. I stopped in December and which allowed Knives some rest. May I ask you something?" Vash was looking at his brother.
"Yeah Vash, sure."
"Are you truly okay with all of this?"
"Vash...of course I am. We're friends. What are friends for, right?" Meryl knew she wanted to be more than friends, but right now it wasn't allowed.
"That's great." Vash said looking up with a smile.
Meryl couldn't help, but turn away from the smile. It was just too inviting, for her to take. The sun was hitting his face at an angle, which made his smile along with his aquamarine eyes glow. "Umm...I'm going to wake my sister Megan up." Meryl quickly exited the room.
Vash POV
It hurt me when she said, "We're friends. What are friends for, right?" I desperately want us to be more than friends, but we can't. I know for a fact that we can't ever be. Just by being me, I'd hurt her. The countless outlaws that track me down, would surely end up injuring Meryl. I can't have that.
"That's great."
This was all I could say. I wish I could have said something more. This morning, Meryl was looking pretty good. I didn't expect to see her in her nightclothes. Meryl's sister is pretty good looking, but there's something about Meryl that makes her appeal to me. It pains me to think about Meryl, so I'll just have to deal with my emotions. Meryl said she had another sister. Hmm...wonder if she's younger or older.
"Knives. I hope when you wake up, you'll understand. I might even have to force you to understand. These people here are good, except for maybe the scary lady that got furious with me for placing you in her bed. Meryl's a great cook and not to mention beautiful. Millie, she likes pudding. I'm at a loss of words, so I'll just let you view them for yourself when you wake up."
Normal POV
Walking down the corridor, Meryl walked into Megan's room. "Wake up, sis has come back with donuts."
"Alright Meryl, I'm waking up." Megan stretched and then sat up.
Meryl walked down the hall over to Millie's room, which contained loud snoring. Looking in, Millie was asleep with her mouth open. Meryl laughed, it was too funny. "Wake up, Millie."
Millie snorted then sat up. "What...what's going on?"
"Breakfast has arrived." Meryl took a seat at Millie's side.
"Okay, Meryl. Is Megan awake?"
"Yes as a matter of fact she is."
"Oh, why didn't you tell me?" Millie shot out of bed and exited. Meryl quickly followed to see what she was up to. It seemed Millie and Megan was racing down the stairs. Meryl laughed and then made her way down stairs.
"Mina did you get the donuts?" Meryl asked walking into the kitchen. It seemed Mina had, for there was the smell of fresh donuts.
"Yep and I got fresh ones too."
It didn't seem long before Vash came tumbling down the stairs. He quickly regained his balance and ran over to the donuts. Mina and Megan were looking at Vash with expressions that said who-are-you?
"Vash, will you act like a gentlemen for once and actually use a plate." Meryl had her hands on her hips.
"Sorry Meryl, but these are just too good." Vash said with donut in his mouth.
"Did you get that man out of my bed?" Mina asked with a deadly glare in her eyes.
"Yes." Vash gulped.
"Good job!" said Mina in a babyish voice. "So I'm guessing your Vash The Stampede, am I right?"
"Yes m'am, though I'd like it if you called me Vash. If it's no problem with you." Vash reached for another donut, but Meryl slapped his hand.
"Very well. You may call me Mina."
"A.K.A Rotten Sister." Megan said in a matter-of-fact way.
"I am not!"
"Oh, sorry Mina. I meant Mina and Meryl are Rotten Sisters." Megan and Millie chuckled together.
"I'm not rotten!" Meryl reached into the donut box and grabbed someone's hand. When she lifted it up she immediately dropped it. The hand belonged to Vash! Meryl began blushing furiously, but to her surprise Vash was as well.
"I knew you two were an item." Mina said with a huge grin.
"We are not an item!" Meryl was replacing her embarrassment with anger, which she always regretted.
When Meryl stopped shouting, everyone at the table could here footsteps coming down the stairs. Mina was on the side of the table, closest to the stairs. She didn't say anything until the figure was on the second to last step.
"Hey it's that guy that was in..." but Mina immediately went silent.
Author's Notes: I hope this was at least satisfactory. Trust me when I say this, it will get better. All I need from you is to REVIEW!! I'll start on the next chapter right away.
