Review Responses:
Dark Devotion- Yeah, I think Bobo's a little suicidal…and I'm sure Laury would be proud too!
Calli Maxwell- Thank you SO much for the sticker book! Unfortunately, Duo stickered Inuyasha in my profile before you got it to him, so yeah, he's in trouble…
Fate Sucks
Chapter 28
"Whoa! You live HERE!" Laury's eyes nearly popped out of her head as she took in Quatre's mansion from the limo. It was HUGE! Lots of shoe space in there that was for sure! She looked at him in shock, "I knew you had money, but I didn't know you were LOADED!"
"Well, I guess that's one way of putting it," Quatre said as the limo came to a stop.
As soon as they stepped out of the limo, the sight of Rasid coming out of the house greeted the two. "Welcome home, Master Quatre!" he greeted warmly.
Quatre smiled, "Hello Rasid. It's good to see you again." He gestured to Laury, "Rasid, this is Laury. Laury, this is my long time friend, Rasid."
Rasid bowed, "It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Laury."
Laury stared at him for a few seconds, "You're big. And you're kinda scary. But if Quatre likes you then you can't be all that bad." She grabbed his hand and shook it, "Pleased to meet'cha. And it's just Laury. No 'Miss' k? It makes me feel too formal and I don't even wanna feel like that in Stuffy, Psycho Lady's kingdom."
Rasid blinked, then laughed, "Master Quatre, it seems you have quite a woman on your hands! I have never heard anyone speak their mind so openly before!"
"Yeah, I'm a handful!" Laury nodded in agreement, "Just ask any of my friends!"
In a matter of minutes, Laury made herself right at home in Winner mansion. Before she could even be given a tour, she had found her room, the music room, the kitchen, the bathroom, and various other rooms. She also introduced herself to every Maganac that was in the house at the time with the same attitude and enthusiasm as she met Rasid with. All of them had the same thing in mind when they met her: Master Quatre had his hands full with this one!
As she skipped down one of the many halls, she came across Quatre relaxing on a couch, reading the local news. She plopped down next to him, "Hey!"
Quatre blinked in surprise and put down his paper, "Rasid showed you around already?"
Laury shook her head, "I showed myself around then chatted to Rasid and Auda and…well all the other thirty seven dudes in your house. Hey, including you that would make forty in all right? Are you guys like the forty thieves of today and that's how you're rich?"
He laughed after he thought about that for a moment, "You know, I've been compared to many things before, but never the forty thieves! And no, I didn't steal anything." 'Well, anything for profit at least…' he thought.
Laury shrugged, "Okay. I'm bored. What are we gonna do?"
Quatre thought for a moment, "Well…what do you want to do?" He knew he shouldn't have asked that question the moment it escaped his lips. This was Laury and she just realized that he was rich.
Her eyes gleamed with excitement, "Let's go shopping!"
As Quatre parked at one of the local malls, Laury practically dragged him out of the car. She then ran into the mall, still hanging on to him and leaving poor Rasid along with two other Maganacs to run after them, trying to catch up.
"Laury, slow down!" Quatre pleaded, trying to free his hand from the death grip.
"I can't! The less valuable time I spend outside the store, the more valuable I spend IN the store!" she replied, not slowing down in the least. She rushed with Quatre into the closest shoe store…
A few hours later, Laury walked out of the closing mall with a small bag in hand. Behind her came Quatre, Rasid, the two Maganacs, and ten other Maganacs Rasid had to call, just so that they could carry all of Laury's bags and boxes.
Laury smiled in content, "That was fun."
Quatre let out an exasperated sigh as Rasid chuckled despite himself, "Any more shopping trips like this and Laury will make you go broke, Master Quatre!"
Quatre sighed again, "Don't I know it…"
Later, after Laury admired and put away all her new things (mainly shoes and clothes), the red head went in search of her favorite blond guy. She found him, playing away on his violin. Despite Laury's natural instinct to glomp someone she liked at the sight of them, the girl could not help but patiently sit and listen to the music with admiration. He was such an awesome violinist!
When Quatre finished his solo, she clapped enthusiastically, "That was amazing!"
Quatre blushed at the realization that he had an audience, and the compliment, "Thank you." He gestured to the various instruments, "Do you play?"
Laury rubbed the back of her neck and looked at the floor. "I play the kazoo…" she mumbled.
Quatre blinked, then laughed. Laury glared at him, "What? I'm actually quite good at it!"
The blond pilot laughed a little more before gesturing for the red head to sit next to him on a piano bench. She complied, a little uncertain of what he was doing. "Okay, sit up straight and gently put your fingers on the keys like this," he instructed, showing Laury what she needed to do. Once she got situated, he continued, "Now, you are positioned in an area on the piano called 'Middle C'. This is the basic starting point for beginners." He instructed her to push a few of the keys down in a pattern of some sort.
When Laury pushed the keys, she blinked, "Hey, I recognize this!" She did the pattern over in a better rhythm and began singing along, "Somewhere over the rainbow way up high, there's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby. Somewhere over the rainbow skies are blue, and the dreams that you dare to dream really do come true…If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why oh why can't I? I did it!" She cheered after she finished. She looked at Quatre, her eyes sparkling with delight, "Can you teach me another?"
Quatre smiled, "I'd be delighted."
