Authors Note:
Hey people. I apologize for it taking me so long to post things but I have been busy and I just came back from vacation at home in the States. 3 more months 'till I can leave Italy for good and start school in Florida. ^___^ weeeeeeeeee!!!
Anyways, this little snippet is when Rena and the others where still together. It takes place before Chapter 1.
It's from when I was originally going to make a website for this fic and make it like the game where you can choose where you want the story to go. Forgive me, it is in script format.
For those of you who are wondering; Yes I have started Chapter 8 but I am not done yet. It should be done soon.
Later… Don't forget to Review!! ~~~~ Reese
Side Story -- Admit It!
Chisato ran ahead of everyone then turned around and faced them.
Chisato: "This is my hometown. Can we stop here for awhile?"
Rena: "Fine with me. We can meet back here later."
*****************************************************
Rena walked in Lacour Castle's Library and almost fell backwards from craning her neck while she marveled how tall the shelves were.
She spotted Chisato and walked over to her.
Rena: "Hey Chisato, what are you doing"
Chisato: "Hi, Rena. I was just looking at some pictures of the 10 wise men. But, there is something I still can't figure out in all my years of being a reporter."
Rena (slightly confused): "What is that?"
Chisato: "How come all the handsome or cute guys are either married, annoying, evil, or psychotic?!"
She said this as she pointed to the ones that were cute.
Rena (shaking head): "There are some handsome and cute guys who aren't."
Chisato (yeah right look): "Name at least 3."
Rena thought for a moment.
Rena: "Well there is...um... Claude and Ashton. They're cute."
Chisato: "You're right. What about handsome?"
Rena (smile): "hee hee... Dias."
Chisato (dreamy look): "He IS handsome.
She then noticed Rena still had a smile on her face and looked like she was daydreaming.
Chisato (teasing): "You like him don't you?"
Rena snapped out of her daydream and crossed her arms over her chest.
Rena (blushing slightly): "Of course I like Dias. I've known him for practically my entire life."
Chisato (smiling slightly): "I mean like like as in more than a friend."
Rena turns a darker shade of red.
Chisato (grinning ear to ear): "Ah ha! I was right. You DO like Dias."
At the moment, Dias, who was right above them on the ladder looked down at the sound of his name in time to hear Rena yelling at Chisato.
Rena (yelling): "Don't you DARE tell Dias that!!"
Dias: "Don't tell me what?"
They both looked up to see Dias right above them, on a ladder. While Chisato didn't really look surprised, Rena turned a dark red from head to toe.
Chisato (smile and wave): "Hi, Dias. We were just talking about you, Claude, and Ashton."
She didn't notice Claude, Ashton, and Bowman walk in.
Claude: "What about Ashton and me?"
Noel who was right behind Chisato and heard their whole conversation spoke up.
Noel: "They were talking about how Claude and Ashton were cute, how Dias was handsome, and how much Rena likes..."
He didn't get to finish because Rena went over to him and punched him in the arm. Hard.
Rena (through clenched teeth): "Shut up Noel."
Noel (laughing and rubbing arm): "I'm sorry. Owwww."
Bowman: "You left out Noel and Me."
Rena: "You don't count. You're married and Noel is spoken for."
Noel (confused): "Really? By whom?"
Rena (annoyed): "You're so dense. By Miriam."
Chisato: "Anyways we were talking about the 10 wise men and then started talking about who was cute, handsome and sane. Rena picked Dias
for the handsome category. Right Rena?"
Chisato smiled and turned toward Rena, who was halfway out the door. Rena froze in mid step and turned around slowly.
Rena: "Uh..." (thinking) Do not look at Dias. Do not look at Dias.
For some unknown reason she did it anyway. When she looked up, to see him behind the others and saw that slow, knowing, teasing smile he shows only to her. Especially when he is messing her. She felt her face flush once again.
Rena (stammering): "Y...Yeah. What of it?"
Opera walked in before anyone could reply.
Opera: "Hey, it's getting late shouldn't we go back to Herlie now?"
Rena: "Your right. Let's go."
After she said that she ran out the door.
Opera (confused look): "Did I miss something here?"
