First to reviews:
TotalAnimeGirl: Thank You for the review, it's great having the support.
Innocent-Hope: Thank you for the review and I do hope to update often.
Angel Of Dreams: Thank you for the review. And don't worry it's easy to get confused, believe it or not I've so far confused myself. Everything in your review will hopefully be answered.
Fire Spirit: Thank you for the review and yes I'm hoping that they hit it off.
Super Creek: Ya about Mir's parts being so small are because at this point in the story Mir is pretty much pointless and is just trying to figure things out she has seen.
Ayome: Thanks for the review. And you are so far the only person to say that I have bad grammar and spelling issues, so congrats to you.
jenniferseedlover: Thanks for the review. Ha, the Heine and Meryin parts are just my way to give Heine who I think needed more parts a little time in the sun. And yes Meer or Mia does come off a little slutty in this.
rune: Thanks for the review, and I'll try to keep up the work
(A/N: This chapter is going to be heavily on some of the other characters)
Life Or Something Like It
Stepping Towards The Past
At Dearka's club…'What is with this moody ass music,' Dearka thought to himself. He was just heading off to go get Ami from school and he was bummed out. Nothing in his whole day made him feel that bad, at least until Shinn, Rey, and Heine started to play the music.
"God, what the hell is wrong with them?" Shiho questioned. She could've sworn all the depressed alcoholics were now more depressed than usual.
"Man, hearing about that marriage of his ex-girlfriend must hurt," Luna answered.
"And you sure sound up beat about that don't you," Dearka said as he was passing.
"Oh, shut up," Luna retorted with a growing blush.
"Any way's, I must be going, have to go get the little one," Dearka mentioned.
"Take care," Shiho called after Dearka, "And you," she continued by looking toward Luna
"What'd I do now," Luna replied.
"Ask Shinn out already," Shiho stated with a knowing smile, "Make him for get about the past, if you know what I mean,"
Luna just blushed a deep red and walked off carrying a tables order. "And what was that about may I ask?" Heine questioned.
"Just trying to help get Shinn moving in a healthy direction," Shiho replied.
"Hey," Shinn said walking up to them.
"Man, when he says hi I want to kill myself," Shiho whispered to Heine.
"Hey, we were just thinking you need to get a girlfriend," Heine replied. Shiho just wished Heine kept his damn mouth shut.
"I don't need a girlfriend, there is only one girl for me," Shinn answered.
"Listen mate, life is like…" Heine stood their pondering, "Ice cream,"
"Ice cream?" Shiho and Shinn asked.
"Ya, ice cream," Heine answered, "There are so many flavors out there, there's vanilla, rocky road, chocolate, and so many others,"
"I honestly don't know if I'm hungry or horny," Shinn replied.
"Stay away from my freezer," Shiho stated.
With Dearka…
"How's my little girl?" Dearka questioned picking up Ami in his arms.
"Hi daddy," Ami said giving Dearka a kiss on the cheek.
"Did you have a good first day?" Dearka questioned carrying to Ami to the car.
"Ya, I learned the days of the week," Ami answered with a small giggle.
"That's good sweetie, how was your teacher?" Dearka questioned. He was wondering what kind of teacher Meer could possibly be.
"She's ok, she even has a red Haro like Nina," Ami answered.
"Wow, that's scary," Dearka said looking at Ami.
"That's mean daddy, Nina's Haro's fun,"
'And loud, annoying, and a giant pain in the butt,' Dearka thought evilly to himself.
Back at the club…
"Heine, get a grip!" Shinn yelled, "Do you honestly think Luna would want to go out with me,"
"Easy, just ask," Heine retorted. Shiho just sat there rolling her eyes to while waiting to get off work.
"How's this idea," Shinn brought up, "I ask Luna out the day you ask Meryin out,"
"It's a deal," Heine answered grabbing Shinn's hand and giving it a shake.
"Uh…what…uh," Shinn said sitting with a flabbergasted face.
"You have a deal," Heine stated again this time slower, "I'll ask Meryin out if you ask Luna out," Heine stood there with a smug face. He knew that Shinn wouldn't back down from a challenge let alone give up a chance to date Luna.
"Fine!" Shinn screamed and stormed off.
"You do know how cruel that is to include poor Meryin in a bet against Shinn," Shiho said while pocking Heine in the shoulder.
"That is what you think," Heine replied back, "I've been needing an excuse to ask Meryin out and Shinn needs to move on,"
"Fine but if Meryin slaps you for doing this I did worn you," Shiho stated back.
"Hey shouldn't we close up?" Rey asked walking up to the two.
"Damn that's right," Shiho gasped looking at her watch, "Yzak's going to wonder were I am,"
"Well we don't want to keep the husband waiting now do we," Heine said with a smirk.
"Shut up," Shiho replied back, "Here lock the doors for me," She said running out the door and tossing the keys to Rey.
"Hey, why does he get the keys?" Heine asked with a shocked face.
"Heine," said Shiho
"Yes," Heine answered batting his eyelashes.
"Don't ask stupid questions," Shiho replied with a laugh and walked out the door.
If Heine wasn't shocked he would've heard Rey the usually silent man laughing at him.
At the Joule's house…
"Hey anything interesting happen at the station today?" Shiho questioned Yzak.
"The dumbest thing I have ever witnessed," Yzak answered laughing.
"What happened?"
"Do you remember that idiot Dearka tackled by accident trying to save Ami?"
"Of course, he was that movie star that was bouncing up and down hollering and screaming,"
"Ya, when I went into the station today Captain Le Creuset and Captain La Flagga called me into their office,"
"They weren't mad that you didn't listen to the guy are they?"
"Hell no, when I walked in the two were laughing to hard to understand anything they said,"
"Why were they laughing?"
"That idiot called in the same complaint and he said he would sue the department,"
"What!"
"That's what I said,"
"What did they do,"
"They looked into it, reviewed witnesses and watch videos from some of the stores,"
"And?"
"Told him that next time some one yells out look out, you move," Yzak answered roaring with laughter. Shiho realized that this must've been pretty funny if both Captain Le Creuset and Captain La Flagga found it funny. Even Yzak was laughing and he usually never laughs.
"Yzak?" Shiho questioned again.
"What now?" Yzak questioned back.
"Who is Ami's mother?" Shiho asked, "And don't you dare try to change the subject,"
"Well first and you must understand this we as friends promised not to talk about this,"
"Yzak," Shiho said his name with full annoyance, "If you don't answer you will go with out…" she whispered the rest.
Yzak's eyes bugged out. He didn't want to lose that! "All right, her mother his Miriallia Haww,"
"The movie star?"
"Yes the movie star,"
"But why isn't she with Dearka and Ami now?"
"Well you see, that's along story,"
"I don't care we got all night,"
"Damn it woman, you'll be the death of me,"
"It's not like this story takes place along time a go in a far away time,"
"Oddly yes,"
"What?"
"It does, it starts way before I met you, and way before anybody has a kid,"
"All right, lets here it,"
Yzak had eventually made his way to the bedroom with Shiho following. "Well it begins…" It was there in that bedroom that Yzak, with Shiho snuggled close to him trying to hear every word, started to tell of the past and slowly made there way into the past.
TBC…
