Moonbay was at her house, pulling her boots on, yelling out, "And Maryanne, you can do anything, but don't play with fire blah, blah, blah. You want me to make you some food before I go?"
The reply she got led her to the kitchen, "Ahead of you, sis,"
Where she found her little sister standing by the bench, chip and marmite sandwiches spread across two plates.
"Angel!"
Moonbay laughed a little when the girl scowled at the pet name Moonbay insisted on using, and passed her a plate, then started to eat as fast as she could. Swallowing the last bit, Moonbay announced, "I'll be late if I don't go now, so see ya, have fun, and make sure not to burn the house down or anything, 'k?"
"Deal!" The little girl smiled adorably at Moonbay, who smiled back, and left for her job.
*~*
"I'm back!" Moonbay slammed the door, throwing her keys somewhere.
Oh well. She'd find them later.
Moonbay found her sister on the couch, watching some anime programme where the people didn't look half-human. "Maryanne."
"Yeah, sis?" The girl didn't even lift her gaze from the television, but Moonbay knew she was listening.
"Now, what have I told you about anime in this house?"
"That it must only look like people, must be believable, and good enough for me to get hooked into a write a good fic about."
"Correct, so what the...what's this?"
The little girl shrugged her shoulders, bringing up the sky guide. "I don't know...hey, do you like Gundam Wing?"
"Is it on?"
"Yeah, that's the one with the five guys, right?" Moonbay nodded, and took a seat beside her sister.
The older girl was laughing, all four ponytails shaking, some time later, about something a character in DBZ had done, when the phone rang. "Maryanne, can you get that?"
Her sister nodded, and a moment later, shoved the cordless phone at her, "It's Irvine."
"Yello?"
"Hey Moonbay, that your sister?"
"Yeah."
"Cute kid." Moonbay wasn't really listening though, she was laughing at another thing on T.V. "Moonbay?"
Something in his tone caught her out, she stopped paying her attention to the television, and all of focus turned to Irvine. "Yeah? What's wrong, man?"
"I...I want to ask you something." Never had she heard that amount of seriousness in his voice before, this must be important....
She heard a beeping on her end of the phone; someone else had called. "Hey Irvine, can you hold on to that for a moment? Someone's on the other line." Clicking over before she got an answer, Moonbay asked more then greeted, "Hello?"
"Hey Moonbay, it's me."
"Fiona? What's wrong? Are you sick, or have you been crying?" Moonbay was worried. Her friend's voice was raspy, dehydrated, even through the phone.
"Yeah, ah, Moonbay, I haven't got long I just wanted to tell you, Karl broke up with me."
Moonbay gasped, but before she could ask anything, or offer sympathy, Fiona hung up. Sighing, Moonbay flicked back to Irvine. "You there?" She knew her voice was quiet, sad, but couldn't get it back to normal, so ignored it.
"Yeah, who was that?"
"Fiona. Hey, have you seen Karl lately?"
"No, not recently, why?"
"Nothing, what did you want to tell me before?"
"Ah, forget it, it's not important..." He had the air of someone with a big problem, who wanted desperately for help, but couldn't bring themselves to ask for it.
"Hey, it's always important, what is it?"
"I'm...Moonbay, I don't know if you know this, but, uh...I'm-gay-and- going-out-with-Domitan-but-not-anymore-he's-a-guy-who-only-has-a- relationship-for-the-sex-side-of-it-and-I'm-not-like-that-I-wanted-to-break- it-off-with-him-so-I-did-and-he-didn't-care-just-drove-off-and-now-I-don't- know-how-much-I-meant-to-him-at-all-like-I'm-that-worthless-I-don't-know-I- need-your-help-but-'cause-I'm-gay-you'll-probably-hate-me..."
While she was still registering this one massive sentence, he hung up. He willed with all his might for it to ring, for it to be Moonbay asking what he had been saying because she must have misunderstood...and they'd all be back to normal.
It did ring, but she wasn't saying that she'd misunderstood...she was telling him that Domitan was a freak, and that she'd go and give him a piece of her mind later. ...But now she'd go over to Irvine's place and make sure he was all right...that it was fine to be down after a relationship ended, even a short one, and of course you grow attached to calling that person your boyfriend.
*~*
Fiona hung up on Moonbay, and sighed, leaning against the door. She was in a pay-phone booth, not wanting to give Moonbay the opportunity to ring back. Grabbing her change, she swung the door open, smiled at the old lady that had been waiting for the phone, and started to walk back.
It was Saturday morning, and she was in no hurry.
The others were all at Zoids training, but she hadn't shown again, it was still too painful. Every time she saw a zoid she was reminded of Karl, and felt a strong urge to strangle the person that had reminded her.
Karl.
Why had he dumped her? It had been a week, and she still didn't know.
Why?
What had she done, what had happened to make him not like her? She didn't know, and that was what hurt the most; she didn't know what she'd done to deserve this, making it harder to accept. Fiona thought about this, and was surprised when she looked ahead to se the buildings of her destination.
Hadn't she been at least an hour's walk away?
True enough, when she checked her watch, the time was an hour past when she had started walking. She shrugged. No matter. Entering her room, Fiona dropped her bag on the ground, and flopped down onto the bed, hoping a little sleep would help her mind out.
Sadly, she never found out, as she never got any sleep.
"Fiona."
"Ah! What the hell...Raven, what the fuck are you doing in here?" Fiona had been startled, but when she saw that Raven had been sitting at her desk, she lay back down, and closed her eyes again.
"I'm here to get you, where'd you go?"
"I went into town to phone Moonbay and tell her..........you know."
"About Karl?"
A nod.
"Well, there are phones here...?"
"I didn't want to tell it in front of the people here, and she'd ring back..."
"So you used a payphone?"
Another nod.
"Understandable. But now we've got to train, so get up."
"Train?"
"You've got to learn how to pilot a Zoid regardless, so I'm going to teach you, in my zoids."
"Your zoids?"
Fiona cracked her eyes open to look at Raven, who nodded.
"What zoids do you have?"
"A lot, but you're stuck with the Command Wolf for now."
"Aww, I was hoping for a Lightning Saix."
Little did she know, he'd actually listen to her.
"Raven, why are we standing in front of a Lightning Saix?"
He shrugged. "I'll give it to you if it makes you learn how to pilot it."
She squealed excitedly, and threw her arms around Raven, then jumped in the cockpit. Buckling herself in, Fiona started it up.
A link popped up, showing Raven from another Lightning Saix. "Now, if you ease your foot off the break, and onto the go pedal, after letting the handbrake off..."
Within ten minutes, Fiona was racing around Raven's own zoid track, with him at her side, easily keeping up, "Wow, this is soooo cool, thank you Raven!!"
"Watch out for the corner!"
~~~
Yeah, I had to end it here, to cute!!!
Ahem, review and you'll get more chaps!! Hopefully.
