Pam POV
We followed Lea to a place off the boardwalk. The
food looked questionable. I decided to play it safe
and got some chicken fingers. Lea was a vegetarian so
she got something without meat (please insert meatless
food here). Suze got some pasta and Jesse got a
hamburger. We all sat down and ate. Lea was sitting
across from me with Jesse next to me and Suze sitting
across from him. I stole a fry every once and a while
he didn't notice or didn't seem to mind. Lea seemed
odd to me so I decided to learn more about her.
"So Lea do you live around here?"
She looked at me and said "Yes I just moved here."
I just nodded my head and said I'm here visiting my
cousin."
I pointed a finger at Suze that was looking at Jesse.
For reasons unknown to me. I guess she was head over
heels. I just shrugged and turned my gaze back towards
Lia.
Lia then commented on my last statement "Oh I guess
you two look a like. Except she has green eyes and
you're kind of short."
I frowned. Okay so I was a meager 5'0" but this girl
didn't look too tall either.
"Well you're not that tall either." I retorted.
She just looked at me and said with a shrug. "Did I
ever say I was?"
I just sighed and said "Well where do you live?"
She just looked at me then said "Well I'm not really
sure you see I just moved here a week ago. All I know
is I can see this building from my house. Its a big
red dome thing."
"Oh you probably live near Suze then. You can hang out
with us if you want."
She gave a small smile and said "Ya okay."
We then sat in silence and I turned to look at Suze
and Jesse. They…¦well weren't really doing anything.
They kept looking at each other occasionally though.
I still don't know that much about this Lea. I don't
even know if we can trust her. She seems a little
suspicious to me. I still haven't really gathered
anything about her at all. I was looking around at the
place we were eating in. The lights were dim and the
paint on the wall was peeling. The menu hanging on the
wall had a yellow tinge to it and the table tops were
sticky and the seats upholstery was falling off. My
gaze was flicking off of faces when I saw ice blue
eyes and did a double take. It was the Satan's
incarnate himself. So I decided to announce that. I
turned my gaze to Suze and said "Don't look now but it
seems Mr. High and Mighty who think he's all that is
here."
She turned around and spotted Paul and called him
over. Why oh why did I have to open my big mouth.
Suze POV
I had called Paul over I think that him and Pam
should settle their difference...maybe that was a bad
idea. Oh well I had already called him over and Jesse
had gone a little more alert. I just shot him a
warning glance and smiled and said "Hello Paul."
He just smiled down at me and said "Hello Susie. I
didn't expect you here."
Ughh! Why did he call me Susie! I hate that only my
mom can call me that. My eyes hardened and my smile
became icy but I said in a fake cheerfulness "Paul you
know I don't like you calling me Susie. Suze will do
just fine."
Jesse then spoke up in a icy tone "I think that you
should call her Susannah."
Pam then decided to jump into the conversation "I
agree Paul." she said his name with degust. I guess
she still was mad about being locked in a closet. Well
I guess I would be too. Who knows how long she was in
there anyway. I decided to use some divine
intervention.
"I think Suze is just fine." I said in a no
nonsense-end-of-discussion voice.
Pam the spoke up "So what are you doing here?" she
said not really wanting to know why he was here. I
just sighed. Why must she be childish. Paul answered
as nicely as her could.
"I'm just enjoying a nice day on the beach. What's
wrong with that?"
"Nothing I guess just as long as I don't have to see
your ugly face."
"Well for your information I'm quite handsome and I
can prove it." Paul turned to a girl that was passing
by and smiled at her and winked. The girl started
swooning.
Pam just rolled her eyes. "All that proves is that
you're a pig headed cocky know it all that isn't worth
my time." Pam just shut her mouth and turned away from
Paul. That got him mad. Not worth his time. He could
not stand down being insulted.
"Well you're just a little brat. Didn't people teach
you to be nice to your elders?"
She turned towards him fire in her eyes and ice in her
glare. "I'm well informed about that rule but I don't
see an elder in front of me I see a pig."
He was getting angrier and angrier by the minute.
Jesse decided to stop to fight before anything
happened "Pamela please contain your anger. Paul don't
you dare say another word." Pam seemed to cool down a
little but Jesse's attempt to calm Paul down was
futile. Jesse's words just got him angrier.
"Why should I listen to you Rico you can't boss me
around."
Don't be mean to Jesse just because you can't be
half as good as he is doesn't mean you should be mean
to him."
This was not good. She had hit a nerve. Ever since
Jesse had 'gotten' me Paul had been sensitive about
anyone comparing him to Jesse. So I decided to say
something
"Come on you two. Don't be immature why don't we all
make peace and finish our lunch." Pam turned her gaze
towards me and what I saw surprised me. I had never
seen such anger in that tiny girl. I gazed over at Lea
to see her reaction to all of this and she seemed
amused and was enjoying her food while watching the
scene before her. Pam turned back towards Paul and
said
"Just get out of my sights. I don't want to hear
your annoying voice any longer."
"At least my voice isn't all high and squeaky."
Pam looked like she was ready to launch herself at
Paul and take him out right now. Since Jesse was
blocking her path because he was sitting next to her
she stayed put.
"Baka!" she practically screamed "How can you pick on
a little girl like me. You really are a cold heartless
pig!"
Now what the heck does baka mean? Paul seemed just
as surprised as me and said
"You're running out of insults so you decided to make
up a word?"
Pam just gave him a know-it-all look and said It's
not made up idiot it's Japanese and means idiot. Shows
how much you know."
Paul started laughing and Pam looked peeved "What's
so funny?" Paul was trying to control his laughing and
said
"Japanese? How did you even learn that word?" Pam
just crossed her arms and mumbled.
"Manga, Anime, stupid InuWasha."
Or something like that. That just made Paul chuckle
even more. He leaned over the table and patted Pam on
the head and said
"You're not that bad after all. You're kind of
amusing." Pam just glared at him but there wasn't as
much ice behind it as before. It was more like they
were play fighting instead of actually fighting. Paul
then noticed Lea sitting next to me and said "Who is
this fine lady?"
Lea just looked at him. She didn't even swoon or look
love struck like every other girl that encountered
Paul she just stared.
"This is Lia. I accidentally knocked into her on the
beach. Literally."
Lia spoke up and said "A pleasure to meet you."
Paul decided to be suave and answered "No the
pleasure is all mine."
Lia to my surprise retorted "I'm sure."
"Well it was nice meeting you but I must be on my
way." he then walked off and through the doorway of
the restaurant. Pam said after a moment of silence.
"He is so annoying."
"He had no right to taunt you in that manner
Pamela." Jesse said.
Pam smiled graciously at Jesse and said "Thanks. At
least I know someone is on my side."
Lia decided to contribute to the conversation "He did
seem like an annoying person."
Then I decided to say something "You got that right.
He's a pain in the ass. Though he's okay when you get
use to him."
Pam rolled her eyes and said "I still think he's an
arrogant pig-headed jerk."
I just sighed and said "Lets go. We have to go talk
to Father Dominic. He would love to know about you."
That was code for 'We have to tell him you're a
mediator so move your ass now.' I wanted to get this
talk over and done with. Pam just got out of the booth
after Jesse and I turned to Lea and said
"It was nice meeting you maybe we'll see you some
other time."
Lea just looked at me and said "Okay. It was nice
meeting you."
She turned to leave when Pam said "Hey could you give
me your number. Do you also have a screen name?"
Lia just turned to her and said "Ya sure its 806-
666- 6667. I have yahoo and AIM which would you
prefer?"
Pam thought for a moment then said "I have both too
so could you give me both?"
"My yahoo one is theusedrocks and my AIM one is
youwishyouknew."
Pam smiled at her and said "Thanks I'll call you or
IM you!" Pam walked back towards us and we all said
out goodbyes.
"It was nice meeting you Lea."
Jesse said and I also said "Yes we'll keep in touch."
Lia answered by saying "See ya." and walked out of
the restaurant. We went back to out stuff to pack it
all up and then we started walking towards the car.
Pam then turned to Jesse and said "So how is this
Father Dominic?"
Jesse just looked down at her and said "I think you
will like him el peque."
Pam looked at him suspiciously and said "What does
that mean? I hope you're not making fun of me or
something."
Jesse gave her a surprised look and said in a
sincere "I would never make fun of you Pamela."
Just as long as you don't call me Pamelita."
I just watched the two and said "Why would he call
you Pamelita?"
Pam turned to me but we had just reached the car so
her explanation was cut short as we loaded up the car
and then when we were all settled in the car she
finally explained "You see Spanish people sometimes
add lita or lito at the end of a name. If it's a girl
they put lita if it's a boy they put lito. It can be
used as a term of endearment. My grandparents call me
Pamelita all the time. So just as long as he doesn't
call me that then I guess he can call me something in
Spanish. Though I will be checking a translator on the
internet for what you mean."
Pam gave Jesse a look that said "Ha I win"
"Whatever" Jesse answered in a perfect imitation of me
that Pam and I were shocked in the back seat. That
kept us quiet for the rest of the ride until we
arrived at the Mission. When we did Pam looked at it
with appreciation. This place wasn't a tourist spot
for nothing.
"This is a nice place." she said.
We walked to Father Dominic's office. When we walked
in the nurse looked up and said in her over sweet
voice. "You three can go in." Then she went back to
whatever she was doing.
We walked into Father Dominic's office and he looked
up and said "Why hello Susannah. Hello Jesse. Who do
you have with you?"
I turned to Pam and said "Father Dom this is my
cousin Pam. She's a mediator too."
Father Dominic's eyes seemed to light with something
similar to excitement. He is always jazzed about
another mediator. I mean what's the big deal. Okay so
I was a little shocked but I wasn't as excited as
Father Dominic. He stood up and held out his hand
"It's very nice to meet you Pam." he said with warmth.
Pam just smiled and shook his hand saying with a shy
voice "It's nice to meet you Father."
