Chapter 2 : Sooner Genius, Later Stupidity
"Morning MOMO" Jr. said from the breakfast table to MOMO as she walked in the kitchen.
It had been two days since Jr. accidentally called her Sakura, and MOMO's still ... well ...
She looked at him as if she were looking at a Gnosis she was about to slay.
"Good Morning Jr." She replied in monotone.
... At least she still helped him in battle.
"Good morning MOMO" Shion smiled.
MOMO returned Shion's smile with a smile of her own.
"Good morning Shion! How are you?"
They greeted eachother happily. chaos was prepared to say good morning, but the icy glare and hint towards a gun put a stop to that.
'Okay ... ' chaos thought while continuing to eat the waffles on the plate in front of him.
Jr. stared at the 100 series prototype, as if him looking at her would get her to at least look back at him.
chaos rose an eyebrow at the red hed.
'Talk about your desprate' he thought.
Jr. turned to him, as if he could read chaos' mind. chaos held up his hands in a sort of surrender. Jr.
gave chaos a look that asked him what was he doing.
"chaos, can you come with me?" Jr. asked him.
"Huh? Oh, sure" chaos said, getting up and walking away with Jr.
MOMO looked sadly to the ground and sighed.
chaos and Jr. walked into chaos' room.
"You've noticed it too?" chaos asked.
"She's forcing herself to be happy ... " Jr. said, looking to the floor.
"Well, you are the reason she is happy to begin with." chaos started, "I don't think that even being with Ms. Mizrahi could make her as happy."
Jr. snapped his fingers.
"I make her happy ... " Jr. repeated.
chaos nodded slowly.
"Then I'll do it!"
"What are you going to do?" chaos asked, shocked by Jr.'s actions.
"I'll make her smile!"
With that, Jr. ran out of the room door. He didn't come out of his room (except to eat) for the rest of the day.
Because of this, chaos began to worry.
MOMO walked through the dark, moonlight halls. She walked up to a door and knocked on it.
"chaos, are you asleep?" she whispered.
"No ... not anymore anyway" chaos said, opening his room door and letting MOMO in.
"I'm sorry. I just - "
"You wanted to know how Jr. is, right?"
MOMO nodded sheepishly.
"He's ... fine ... " chaos lied.
In all actually, he really didn't know how Jr. felt right now.
"Oh ... "
"MOMO - "
"I'm sorry that I bothered you. Goodnight" she smiled and left the room.
chaos scratched the back of his head. This little ... thing ... between MOMO and Jr. was confusing and tiresome. He got under his cover and went to sleep.
chaos opened his eyes, the light from the sun immediately blinding him for a few seconds. He stood and walked over to the bathroom. He didn't feel well for some reason. He took a shower, got dressed, and began to brush his teeth.His toothbrush broke as he put it down.
'Hm ... something bad ... ' he thought, washing his face.
He walked out and ate his breakfast.
'He's not here ... ' chaos thought, which was odd because Jr. never missed a meal.
chaos went to Jr.'s room, but was asked to go away. chaos shrugged it off and went on about his day. It wasn't untill about one o'clock when it happened.
chaos walked to his room door slowly. He had a bad feeling. chaos opened the door, seeing a sight he never thought he would see.
"Oh!" Jr. said in shock.
"Afternoon chaos!" Jr. said ... completly naked ...
chaos looked blankly at Jr. for a minute then, deciding that this was all induced from lack of sleep, closed his room door and went to bed.
Jr. shrugged and ran down the halls.
"GOOD AFTERNOON EVERYONE!" Jr. announced happily.
"Well good afternoon Little Ma -- AH!" Mary screamed.
"Little Master, what are you doing?" Shelly said, covering her eyes.
Shion and MOMO turned away from Jr. their faces flushed. KOS-MOS turned around.
"I suggest you put on some clothes" KOS-MOS said, going down the hall, oppsite of Jr.
"This is just so wrong!" Ziggy yelled, walking back to his room.
Gaignun walked into the kitchen.
"I need some cof -- OH GOOD GOD MAN! PUT ON SOME CLOTHES!" He yelled.
"No!"
"What?"
"I mean ... uh ... It's just ..." Jr. protested.
He was going to make MOMO forgive him and smile truly again, even if it killed him.
Speaking of things killing him ...
Gaignun grabbed Jr. by the back of the neck and dragged Jr. to his office.
"Put these clothes on, Now!" Gaignun ordered.
Jr. rolled his blue eyes but put them on.
"I know you mean well Jr., but ..."
"But ..?"
Gaignun turned to him.
"Just ... stay dressed ... okay?"
Jr. looked at the roof for a minute, then nodded.
"Sure. I'll stay dressed" He smiled, then left Gaignun's office.
Gaignun's stomach began to hurt. Something was wrong.
Jr. walked past MOMO on his way to chaos' room and flashed her a smile. MOMO continued to walk to her room.
She closed the door, locked it. MOMO looked outside the window and closed her eyes, a smile creeping onto her face.
