The Days of the Week

Chapter 3

Tutti-Frutti Tuesday

She was dreaming. It was just a dream. How could it be real…? It had that feeling you get when you were asleep and dreaming away into your mind.

Sherry woke up the next morning, though she didn't open her eyes, she just laid on her bed for a while before rolling back over onto her side. Her hand slid up the cold sheets of her bed and up to the side of her head where she began rubbing her eyes.

"Brago…"

The blonde then suddenly opened her eyes and sat up in bed. Well, that was certainly a shock. Calling out her mamodo's name had taken her by surprise. Then, she thought back to her dream.

It was a peaceful dream, though for some reason, Brago had been in it. Everything that happened in the vision was slowly escaping her mind, and she forgot all about it. Although she could remember something about her and Brago, and something peaceful and enjoyable, she could not remember any detail and the pictures in her mind were not graphic enough to see what had happened.

So she just shrugged and looked around her room. Brago wasn't in there, probably hunting for some fresh meat out in the forest behind her home, or just wandering the halls of her mansion. Either way, he wasn't in the same room as her.

Getting up, Sherry walked over to her closet and got dressed and soon began searching for the dark mamodo. She walked down the steps leading downstairs, and saw Brago standing by the door.

"It's about time you got up." he said gruffly. "You humans sleep too much."

The blonde frowned and shook her head. "We do not 'sleep too much'. It's my vacation so I can do whatever I want."

Brago shook his head and sighed. "Do remember that you are only here to make me king and I'm only here to make your friend come back. Not that these goals will happen easily, but those reasons are why we have to stick up for this battle. So at least try to spend your time wisely and not just sleeping."

Sherry's expression saddened a little as she heard the dark mamodo say that. How why did he have to go in and make a comment like that? The blonde felt a little hurt from Brago's comment, and it could easily be seen in her eyes.

Looking at those sad eyes made Brago feel somewhat guilty, so he turned his head around to keep away from Sherry's gaze. The way the blonde looked at him just made him feel bad for some odd reason… Why was he feeling guilty?

The two stood in a silence for a few minutes, and after a while the young blonde was feeling slightly restless so she decided to do something. Though, before she could do anything, she placed her hand up to her stomach as it let out a small but loud rumble. Her cheeks lit up with a pink tint and she blushed.

"Um… I need to eat something." she said quietly. Then, her eyes lit up with an idea. "I know what we can do! We can go on a picnic!"

"A what?" Brago's cloudy eyes redirected over to where the blonde was, and he gave her a look.

"You'll see soon enough. Now, help me pack some food."

The dark mamodo just shrugged and followed Sherry as she headed towards the kitchen. It was empty and the cooks were currently not there, and the dark mamodo watched as the other packed different foods and snacks and whatnot into a bag.

After a few minutes of packing, the blonde turned her head around to face the dark mamodo. "Come on, let's go."

Go where?

Brago let Sherry take the lead as she made her way to the door, carrying the containers and other things with the food in them with her. Sherry then found her butler and ordered him to drive her somewhere. Both of them climbed into the back of the limo and Sherry placed all the supplies on her lap, resting her left hand on it and set down her right to her side.

Looking down, Brago saw that the girl's hand was awfully close to his own, which was resting on the cushion next to him as well. He swallowed and then turned his head around the other way to look out the window. Why was he feeling like this towards her? The sensation wasn't quite identified yet, but it was so unfamiliar to him, he didn't know whether it was a good thing or a bad thing, or what to expect from it.

Whatever it was, he wanted it to leave him alone for a bit.

Eventually, the car stopped, and the dark mamodo looked out the window to see that he and Sherry were at a park. There were a few people outside, and they were all out doing something entertaining or eating lunch.

Sherry stepped out of the car, still holding onto the supplies, and looked over at Brago. "Come on," she said. "Let's go find a place to sit." So she looked in the car again, and pulled out a fairly large blanket, and grabbed the rest of the other materials. She began walking over to where it was slightly hilly and a few trees were seen, Brago just followed.

She led him to a small section where no people were, and walked up to the top of a hill and laid down the blanket. The dark mamodo watched as she laid out a basket with different foods in it on the blanket and then sat down.

The blonde looked up at Brago and gestured him to sit down next to her, which he did, but he gave her a look of confusion.

"What's the point of this?" he asked. Sherry just laughed and shook her head.

"It's a picnic, Brago." the blonde responded. She opened up the basket next to her and pulled out a few things. "Where you go out and have lunch. Well, since I haven't had breakfast yet, and I saw that it was afternoon already, I just decided I would have some brunch."

"Brunch?"

"It's a mixture of breakfast and lunch."

"Hn." Brago just rolled his eyes. "Whatever." He then noticed the blonde starting to make a sandwich and taking out other things from the basket. He didn't say anything, but just watched her as she made herself some lunch. She then looked over at him and smiled.

"Would you like anything?"

"I've told you this before, I hate human food."

Sherry just sighed. "Whatever you say, Brago." She took a bite out of the sandwich she made.

The two then sat down in silence for awhile. They didn't talk or anything, but just sat on the picnic blanket enjoying each other's company.

Brago turned his head around and noticed that there were now no people at the park, but maybe one or two some far ways off. He couldn't see them too well but he could sense where they were. A small gust of wind then blew across the park, making the trees sway and a few pieces of trash near the trash bins flutter off.

Sherry finished up the last piece of her lunch and crumbled up her trash and threw it in the basket. "I'll just throw those away later." she said.

Silence fell upon the two after the blonde's comment, and they just stared off into space, thinking about different things.

Then after a minute Sherry pulled up a small bag she had brought with her and she began shuffling through some of the papers in it. Brago just looked at her, wondering what it was she was doing.

"Found it!" Sherry said, pulling out a rather small envelope. The dark mamodo just looked at it with little interest, but decided to ask what it was. Sherry just smiled and began to open the letter up, when suddenly another gust of wind blew through the park. As quickly as the wind came, the paper fluttered out of her hand quickly and flew off down the hill. "Damn!"

The blonde scurried to her feet to chase after the runaway paper, but Brago stood up before her with a quick, "I'll get it." And with that, he ran after the paper. Well, he was faster than Sherry, so what was the big deal in getting the paper for her?

But unbeknownst to the mamodo, Sherry was running along behind him also chasing after the paper. The two had at least a good five to eight feet away from each other.

Soon as Brago reached the paper he immediately stopped running in his tracks and leaned down to pick up the paper. As soon as he stood back up, paper in his hands, he turned around only to see Sherry right about to crash into him. Neither she nor Brago had enough time to stop and get out of the way, so Sherry gave a squeak as the two collided and were sent tumbling to the grassy ground.

And down they went.

She landed right on top of him, both slightly dazed of what just happened. When the two came to, they realized what an awkward situation they were in.

Lying on his back was Brago with Sherry lying right on top of him, their faces close together. Both could feel the heat of each other's breath beat against their faces, and a deep blush covered the blonde's face as she quickly made to get off and sit down onto the ground behind her. She curled her legs close together and continued to blush as the dark mamodo stood up, staring at her oddly.

"I uh…" the girl trailed off, looking to the side. "Sorry?"

Brago was silent, for he had nothing in particular to say but, "You humans are too clumsy." He looked off to the side, remembering how close their faces had been. A strange feeling arose inside him and the whole area seemed to grow slightly warmer.

There was a strange silence again between the two as they looked away from each other – with Sherry still blushing. Soon, after about a minute or two, the blush faded away and she picked up the paper again that was lying next to her.

"Well, I guess I could tell you about this." she said finally. The dark mamodo then turned around as she said that.

"Then tell me."

"We might be going to this party this upcoming Friday," she explained. "I haven't been to one in a while, so figured that we could go."

"We?"

"Yes, I'm taking you with me." the blonde said as the embarrassed feeling inside her vanished. Brago was coming with her whether he liked it or not. Besides, he would help keep her company...

"Why do we have to go to some stupid party?"

"Because they're fun. And I know you don't do fun, but just deal with it."

Well, that ended the conversation. And yet again there was another silence before Sherry stood up and began walking back up the hill, envelope in her hands, and the dark mamodo was following a fair distance behind so that way they wouldn't end up in the same situation as before with both lying on top of another.

The two reached the top of the small hill where the picnic blanket and basket lay, and Sherry closed the envelope with the party invitation back in her small bag. After doing so, the blonde plopped back on the blanket and stared back down the hill at Brago as he reached the picnic spot.

"What?" he asked as he noticed the blonde staring at him. Sherry just turned her head away with a small blush.

"Oh, uh… it's nothing…"

Sherry watched as Brago sat down next to her about a foot away, and she began twiddling with her fingers. Then, not before long, she heard a strange music, and perked her head up to see where it was coming from. Brago heard it too, and gave an annoyed look as he turned his head in the same direction.

"What the hell is that racket?" he said, commenting how the strange music was annoying.

"I think I know what it is. Come on." said Sherry as she stood up. With a sigh, Brago stood up as well and followed his book-reader.

She led him across the park until they arrived at the road, where both could clearly see a strange looking truck with an even stranger object on top for decorations. Brago saw how the human inside the truck handed out things to people that looked very similar to what was on the vehicle. It was a strange orange color and had a cone-like shape with different colors inside, some pink some brown some white and some a bunch of different colors mixed together.

"Just as I thought." said Sherry aloud. The dark mamodo just turned his attention to her and gave her a look which she was oblivious to.

"And what exactly is that?" he inquired, pointing over in the direction of the strange vehicle and even stranger substances inside.

"The ice-cream truck." Sherry responded as she turned her head to look at him.

"The what?"

"Just follow me and I'll show you."

With a roll of his eyes Brago continued to follow Sherry over to this 'ice-cream truck', and he received a few odd looks from the few people that were there. He just ignored them and eventually their gazes shifted to something else.

"'Ello there, Miss." said the man in the truck. "What'll ya 'ave?"

Brago watched as Sherry skimmed through a strange list on the side of the truck. And after a minute she turned her head around to face the man. "I'll have a Tutti-Frutti." The man nodded and after a few seconds he handed her a cone with some of the strange stuff inside. It was dotted with strange, colorful items in there, that, after a close observe, was revealed to be fruit – or something like that anyways.

After handing the man some money, Sherry turned around and began walking away from the truck. The dark mamodo followed.

"This," Sherry said after the two reached a good distance away, "is ice-cream. It's really good actually. There are different flavors of ice-cream. There's vanilla, chocolate, and a lot of others. Too many to count, but this one is called tutti-frutti."

Red orbs watched as Sherry licked away at some of the creamy sweet's substance. He then looked away as different thoughts passed through his head.

"Would you like to try some?" the blonde asked. Brago spun his head around and gave her an odd look.

She was actually asking him if he wanted to share? This was peculiar. But she had touched it with her own mouth, why would she be asking this?

The mamodo didn't say anything, but something was telling him to say 'yes' and try it. After a small silence he shrugged and Sherry smiled. The blonde handed him the cone, which felt awfully cold, and he licked off a little bit of ice-cream. It was colder than he had anticipated, but it was alright… the fruit didn't taste that good though.

He handed back the cone to her. "It's alright… Still don't like human food."

Sherry took that as a small compliment – one from Brago at least – and didn't worry about the last remark. She licked away at the ice-cream again; Brago still eyed her strangely as an odd sensation arose inside of him.

Great… Now was not the time to feel sentimental… Wait, why was he feeling sentimental in the first place…?

The thought soon passed away, and after a while Sherry finished her sweet and threw away the remainder of the cone in the trash, and headed to go pick up the picnic.

After a while the blonde called her butler on a phone and told him to come pick her and Brago up. Some time passed before he finally arrived, and the other two just climbed in the back.

"Where would you like me to take you now, Miss Sherry?" asked the old man.

"Home please."

"Very well." And so he started the limo and drove the two off. Sherry sat down quietly right after Brago crawled in, and began gazing out the window. The dark mamodo turned his head to look at her from the side, hoping that she wouldn't notice him.

For some odd reason now, he and Sherry had been acting strangely around each other. Probably just another emotion I'm not acquainted with, Brago thought. After all, he wasn't used to them. So why bother starting to now?

A small lock of hair fell in front of the spell-caster's eyes, and the strangest temptation arose inside of Brago. He just wanted to brush the golden hair away and let the blonde's face be clear. He realized what he was thinking and slightly shook his head.

Goodness, what was wrong with him? It was those damn emotions again…

Soon the car came to a stop in front of the Belmond's mansion. Brago and Sherry climbed out of the car and headed up the pathway.

Now what? thought Brago. "What are we doing now?" he asked.

"We're just going to spend the rest of the day here." responded the other. He shrugged and just continued to follow his book reader. The two didn't do too much for the rest of the day. Sherry read a book that she was interested in for a few hours and Brago went off to find something to eat (He hadn't eaten anything that he thought good in a while, and was getting hungry). Both stayed in the mansion most of the day, unless it was Brago (who was still out hunting).

What an awkward situation the two had found themselves in earlier. Their relationship had improved a little though sometime afterwards, but not too much, or at least they didn't quite notice. As Sherry stared out her window from her seat, she wondered what tomorrow would bring.

Hopefully something NOT embarrassing.

Ta Da! There's the next chappy! Eh, it is titled 'Tutti-Frutti Tuesday', but there's not too much ice-cream in it. Well, i hade to name it SOMETHING that started with a 'T', and Tutti-Frutti just came into mind... Okay? Okay!
