Me: If I could do a proper heel click, you know I would. (That had a point, but I forgot what it was.)
Kazumi: Cut the crap! You had something to say?
Me: Oh, yeah! I know that I didn't have Athrun in the last chapter and I apologize. But the fourth of July screwed up my sleep pattern and I couldn't think straight. And it's still a bitch figuring out Timmy's identity, who gets to kill Dearka, and how I'm going to squeeze in some DM scenes. Sorry about the hiatus. T.T
Chapter 5: Weird...
Last time
"Cagalli, I have found another person to put on my kill list and I was wondering if you could assist me in carrying out one of the missions that I have moved to the top of my priority list," Hikaru said, not taking her eyes off of Flay. That's what happens when Hikaru gets miffed.
Cagalli eyed Flay the same way Hikaru did and said, "Yeah. I'll help."
Now
"You don't wanna do that," Flay said coolly, crossing her arms.
"And why not?" Hikaru asked through gritted teeth.
"'Cause I know something that will help you to get your revenge on Elsman," Flay answered casually.
"And why should we trust you?" Cagalli interrogated.
"Reasons."
"Such as?"
"I heard about a crash last night involving a go-kart, Dearka, and you three," Flay continued, pointing at Kira, Cagalli, and Hikaru.
"Four, actually," Kira corrected her. "Timmy was there, too."
Timmy looked up from his hand of cards, which he was studying quite seriously, and smiled obnoxiously at the sound of his name.
Flay stared at little Timmy with disgust. To her, the boy was revolting, annoying, and below her. But Timmy didn't care. He just wanted to continue his game of cards. But Hikaru and Cagalli had something else on their agenda.
Flay continued delivering her message.
"Elsman has a job at the local pub. If you manage to embarrass him while he's on his shift, you'll get you're revenge and he'll have lost another job."
Flay then turned on her heel and walked out the door, or the door way, rather. Remember, she knocked the door off it's hinges.
"And that's the third door this week," Kira said, staring at the rather nice oak door that was on the floor.
The smile that was on Timmy's face had vanished in an instant. He was quite offended by the dirty look Flay shot him, and didn't know why she didn't stay to play with him. He thought she was another friend that came over to join the game of Crazy Eights or Go Fish. They were both entertaining games, and Timmy was really good at them.
"That lady was rude!" Timmy complained. "She didn't stay to play go fish, because you suck like a black hole at it, Auntie Hikaru!"
"That wasn't very nice!" Hikaru exclaimed. "I'm just a little rusty. I'm better at poker anyway."
"I'll raise you with three bags of Skittles," Cagalli said, placing down the candy.
Hikaru and Timmy lapsed back into their card games.
That night...
Cagalli and Hikaru reluctantly took Flay for her word and went to the pub, Andrew's Corner, with their weapons in hand. Hikaru had two throwing knives, one in each hand, and Cagalli had a baseball bat.
"Cagalli, are you sure it's this pub?" Hikaru asked skeptically. "Because I'm not sure if it's a wise idea to trust Flay."
"Flay knows that if she tricks me like this, she'll be killed before she can say Ticonderoga. If she can say Ticonderoga."
Hikaru just shrugged as she and Cagalli entered, and heard someone singing on stage.
"If you could be so kind/ To help me find my mind/ I'd like to thank you in advance/Know this before you start/My soul's been torn apart/I lost my mind in a wild romance."
"Cagalli?" Hikaru asked, tapping her shoulder.
"What!"
"Who's that on stage?" Hikaru shrunk back slightly at Cagalli's snap.
"I dunno. And stay focused! Remember, we're here only to make Dearka's life a living hell, got that?"
"Yeah."
A certain person at in a corner of the pub watched Hikaru with interest. A rather odd person with silver hair and a scar on his face. Now, listen! If I have to say anything else for you to get the point, you're going to say hello to my sister's entire collection of high heels! (The only reason why I say my sister's is because I don't have any spiked high heels. -whimpers-)
"Hey! Hikaru!" Yzak called, with hearts in his eyes. "I have something for you!"
Hikaru took notice to the silver-haired teen and immediately blushed. Cagalli also took notice and sweat dropped.
"Uh, Hikaru? We're supposed to be killing Dearka right now, not crushing on Yzak Joule! Disturbing that you'd even consider it..."
Dearka then popped up out of nowhere in a hunter green apron and an annoying smile on his face.
"Welcome to Andrew's Corner! How may I help you?" he asked, bowing down in front of Cagalli and Hikaru.
Cagalli whacked Dearka over the head with her bat.
"Not much good that'll do ya! It's only plastic!" Dearka teased, pinching Cagalli's left cheek.
"I know." Cagalli then pulled out a wooden bat and whacked Dearka again.
Meanwhile, Hikaru and Yzak were chatting away about nothing, and Hikaru had a pink rose in her hand.
"Hey! Andrew! Gimme a cuppa joe!" Cagalli called, watching Dearka fall to the ground, unconscious.
Andrew, who was behind the counter, raised his hand hand shouted back, "Right away!"
