REBIRTH
by NinjaNao
Leon:
I'm such an idiot. Why did I have to laugh at her? She opened up to me. She told me something she had probably told to a select few, if any, and I laughed. She told me her reasons for hating the A.D. Police and her dream and I laughed. That was the last I saw her before she went into space to fight that mad boomer thing... er... ah... Galaxia?
At least I got to kiss her though. I almost missed my chance. I would have too if it wasn't for her making the first move. Once again, I went on and on blabbing like a moron. I wanted to kiss her but I couldn't find the right way. Priss did. She told me to just shut up and kissed me. Took me by surprise. Her kiss was so warm and tender, I didn't want it to end. Something I never felt from the other women. I've never been with a girl like her before. She's not like the other girls I've dated. They can best be described as bimbos. Priss is no bimbo. No way. She's smart, independent not afraid to speak her mind, and not afraid to fight or strike back. The back of my head is a testament to the latter. I had a bump on my head for days.
What is it about Priss that just seems to turn me to goo? Even the mention of her name makes me blush. Sure, I've never been smooth with the ladies, but I'm at my worst around Priss. Some way to impress a girl, isn't it? I can't stop thinking about her. I was worrying myself silly after that thing... er... Galaxina? was destroyed. Where the hell were they? What happened to them? Did they even make it back to Earth or were they destroyed along with that ... uh. OH! Galatea!
I was so relieved to hear from Nene. Leave it to her to find me. I was so excited that I didn't even mind that she called me "Leon-Pea". I was just glad to hear that she and Linna were okay. But my heart sank when she told me that she hadn't heard from Priss. Nene said not to worry. Priss was a survivor and if anybody were to make it, it would be Priss. Nene asked when I was going to return to Tokyo. I told her that I couldn't return. Not just yet. Nene understood, although I could hear the disappointment in her voice. There was too much there that would remind me of Priss.
Then came the day Nene called me with the news that Priss was back! Priss was alive! I couldn't get back to Tokyo fast enough. Nene told me where to meet them. They would be having lunch together. I snuck up behind Priss and covered her eyes. I guess that wasn't a good idea. She elbowed me pretty hard. Almost made me a soprano. My eyes teared up but I didn't scream. Damn it. I have to remember how strong that girl is. Priss gave me a little smile, said hello and told me never to do that again. I really hope I can remember that. I got up off the floor and sat next to her. She hadn't changed. She was just as beautiful and sexy as I had remembered her. I wanted to tell her that but I just got all tongue tied again. I don't know what I ended up saying. I wanted to tell her how glad I was to see that she was all right and that she had made it back to Earth. Linna and Nene were trying so hard not to laugh at me.
Priss just sat there. Her hear propped up against her arm. Did she even care? She seemed miles away, lost in thought. What the heck was she thinking about? Who was she talking about? Nene wouldn't have let me come and make a fool of myself would she? Then Priss started talking. She had a show. Get there early if I wanted to get in. Tomorrow was good. Seven? Leon-Pea. Grrr. She was gone. Huh? What? Did the love of my life, Priss S Asagiri just make a date with me? Me? Leon McNichol? Oh, my god. And she called me Leon-Pea. Damn it. I'm gonna wring Nene's neck for that.
I sat there for a bit wondering what the heck I was going to do. I found myself wishing that I knew where Daley was so that I could ask him where he thought I should take a girl like Priss on our first date. Sure, I could probably ask Nene, but I felt so strange doing that, especially with Linna sitting there. I didn't know her as well as I knew Nene. I must have been sitting there with a stupid grin on my face because Linna and Nene kept laughing at me.
After lunch I found myself wandering through the streets. I didn't feel much like seeing if I could get my job back at the A.D Police just yet. Nene said that they could use me. If they recruited her back surely they would want me back. Heh. I saw the new Sekiria posters plastered all over town. Just like always. Those beautiful brown eyes staring out from the poster. Priss' eyes. Only now, there were unfamiliar names above the name "Sekiria" Edison, Steel, and John, and beneath "Sekiria" it read "Featuring Fox and ... PRISS!"
It was odd to walk around and not see a single boomer. Robots, however were everywhere. They weren't as 'friendly' as a boomer was. It's funny. I never thought I would actually miss having boomers around. I soon found myself in front of Hot Legs and decided to go in. Get there early, she said. But I thought four hours was a bit much. I was wrong. I figured that I would be the first person there for the Sekiria show. There was already a small group of fans claiming their spots at center stage, having their own little mini-convention. I staked out my spot next to them. They let me into their little group. Boy, was that weird. I've never associated with the 'fan' types. They asked me how long I had been a fan. I guess I had to be a fan being there four hours before the show. I shrugged. Not to long. I said. I was there to see Priss. They laughed at me. Weren't they all? Priss was HOT! They asked me what my favorite song was. I had no idea. I hadn't really heard any of the songs before. They ignored my after that. That was just fine with me.
Sekiria was awesome! They totally blew me away. I never would have thought Priss to have so much energy like that. The way she interacted with her band, with the crowd. It was electrifying. Her new band sounded fantastic, not that I knew what they sounded like before but the crowd seemed to approve. Priss noticed me in the crowd and flashed me a smile. By the reactions of the crowd she probably doesn't do that that often as that little display of emotion caused a big commotion. Everybody around me was claiming that the smile was meant for them. I knew who it was meant for.
After the show she and Fox were mobbed by the back entrance to the club. I was there in the back. I thought about waiting for her, but I decided to let her bask in her glory. When she noticed me, I raised my hand as though holding a gun and shot her in the heart like she did to me that one night. She turned away briefly to a fan, and that's when I left.
I called Nene. I couldn't help myself. What was I going to do? I had a date with Priss. I wanted to take her someplace nice, but I didn't want it to seem like I was trying to impress her. Nene said that Priss was the type that liked to stay at home and eat frozen microwave pizza. She was the type of girl who didn't mind going out to a greasy burger stand for burgers in the middle of the night. That didn't mean that I had to do that or that she didn't like going out to someplace nice. She said not to make it too fancy or Priss would think that I was trying to impress her. Nene also told me to pick Priss up at Linna's. They had a little surprise in store for me. They were going to make Priss up all nice and pretty so I had better look nice. After hanging up with Nene, I remembered this one place that Daley liked. I made reservations for the tow of us there.
I made it to Linna's in time. I was nervous. My heart was pounding. I couldn't believe this woman was making me so nervous. I took a deep breath and knocked on the door. I heard a bit of a commotion and then Linna opened it. She invited me in. Nene peeked out from the bedroom and introduced Priss.
Wow. I could hardly recognize her. Priss was gorgeous. Not that she wasn't before, but that dress... It hugged her figure in just the right places, and yet still maintained that aura of danger. She was beautiful... stunning... a vision... My head started spinning. It was making my head hurt... everything went black...
[laughs] sorry. I just couldn't figure out how to end this chapter!
Next Chapter: Yes, it continues! It 'starts over' again with Priss! From her POV... the show, the date.
Okay... the title of this story really sucks... anybody have a better one? I'm open to suggestions...
