What dreams are made of - Chapter 4 - The dinner

Sophia was cooking dinner when she heard a door slam. 'That must be Albel.' And sure enough, it was. He walked in. "When will the food be ready, woman?"

She giggled. "In a few. Go sit down and I'll bring it to you."

Albel groaned but went and sat down at the table like she said to. "Oh! Lieber and Maria should be home soon! Cliff is taking Mirage out to eat tonight. So they won't be joining us."

Albel sighed. 'Not that maggot Maria again.' Just then he heard someone walk in. And it was Lieber and Maria. Just like he thought. 'Damn worms.'

They both sat at the table with him. "Hey Albel. How you doin'?" Albel just glared at Lieber. He never did like him. Well he didn't like most people, but he especially didn't like Lieber. He was always too clingy to Maria, he thought. Nonetheless, he had to be nice. Because he knew Maria would probably cut all of his pretty, precious, hair off. And he did not want that.

"I am fine, maggot." he said with a growl. Maria eyed him. "Yeah, whatever. What's for dinner, Sophia?"

"Oh! Steak and fries!" Maria clapped her hands together. "My favorite! How did you know?" Sophia giggled. "Lieber told me."

Maria looked at Lieber who was blushing uncontrollably. "That's so sweet!" and she kissed him. Albel just rolled his eyes. 'Hmph. Can they not do that somewhere else? Maggots.'

"Okay, dinner's ready!" Albel smirked. "It's about time. I'm hungry."

An hour later

"Wow! I'm stuffed!" Maria laughed. "I would imagine you would be, after stuffing your face like there was no tomorrow." Lieber sighed. "Still as harsh as ever, Captain..." Maria looked at him. "What was that!" "Uh, n-n-n-nothing!"

Albel shook his head and dismissed himself from the table. Sophia saw him leaving as she was taking some dirty dishes into the kitchen. 'Wonder where he's going..' She looked at the table to see Maria yelling at Lieber again. 'Guess they won't mind me stepping out for a bit.'

Albel was sitting on the roof, looking up at the stars. 'Hmph. I wonder what that foolish King and old man are doing right now. Not that I care, however, I am curious. Maybe I should go visit them.' He then pulled out something from his pocket. The ring. 'Hmph. What am I going to do about the worm?' He stopped and thought for a moment. Suddenly, someone came up behind him. He knew who it was. That it was her.

"Umm... Albel?" she said as she sat next to him. "What?"

"Umm..nothing. I was just curious where you went off to, I guess." Albel sighed. "I just needed some air, maggot. Not that it's any of your business." Sophia giggled. "Yeah, yeah. Sure."

They sat in silence for a while. Then Sophia stood up. "Well, I'm tired. See you in the morning!" She leaned over to kiss him on the cheek. "Get some rest soon, okay?"

She then walked back inside. Albel sighed.

"Hmm.. maybe I should go afterall.."

It was bright and early the next morning. Sophia was sleeping soundly when all the sudden, she was woken up by the sound of her bedroom door being broken down. "W-what's going on!" She looked at Cliff with a worried look in her eyes.

"It's Albel. He never came nside last night." Sophia sat there with her mouth open. 'How can that be..?'

"Maria is tracking him down right now, so don't worry." Sophia jumped out of bed. "But, why didn't he..!" Cliff shook his head. "I don't know. But he.." Then all of the sudden, Maria ran in. "Sophia! We found him!"

Sophia looked both relieved and worried. "Well? Where is he!"

Maria sighed.

"Airygylph."
