Chapter 7: A meeting with dad
I woke up in a cold sweat, breathing heavily. As I sat up, a lone tear fell down my face, which was a shock to me because I hadn't cried in years, not since I was a kid. Suddenly the smell of food reached me. I got curious so I quickly changed into a long sleeve black shirt and black pants. I went to the source of the smell, which of course was the kitchen, and found Ray cooking. Ray can cook? Ha! He looks funny. I thought. "Ray, since when did you know how to cook?" I asked him.
"Uhh… um… since… right now." He responded.
"Then why are you trying to cook?"
"I thought it would be the least I could do, since you let me crash here."
"Oh. Well let me help. I don't wanna mess in my kitchen."
Then we started cooking, well, tried cooking. We started with pancakes, but all that accomplished was Ray being covered in pancake mix and burning the pancakes. After that, we tried eggs, but we burnt those too. We had tried everything we could think of, but everything ended up burnt. Therefore, in the end we ended up eating cereal. When I looked at the clock, I saw that it was 7:45, which meant I only had 30 minutes to get ready."Soot… Umm, Ray, I have to get ready for a meeting with my dad. It's at 8:30, but I only have 30 minutes to get ready because it takes me 15 minutes to get there." I told him as I hurriedly put my dish in the sink. He nodded understandingly and went to the sink.
"At least let me wash the dishes." He said.
I smiled, "Thanks, Ray. You're so sweet."
Then I did something that made us both blush like crazy, I kissed him. It was only a small peck, but when I saw what I did, I ran to my room in full speed. I looked in the mirror and saw that I was blushing a red that I didn't even know existed. The whole time I was getting ready, I felt the blush on my face. And when I had to leave and tell Ray I was leaving, I felt myself blush even more.
"Uhh… Ray, um… I- I'm leaving now. You can stay, if you want… bye." I never looked at him as I was speaking, so I didn't know the was near me. Until he stopped me from leaving.
"Be careful." He told me. I looked into his eyes, smiled, and nodded. I was about to leave, but again I was stopped by Ray. I looked into his eyes, those perfect golden eyes… Soon I was lost in them… The world melted away and nothing mattered anymore. Then I felt his lips against mine. The kiss was soft and innocent, a bit… perfect as well. I felt like time stopped, wanting us to be like this. I didn't care if I was late to 'dad's' meeting, I just wanted to stay there; forever in Ray's arms. But he broke our kiss and said, "If you don't hurry, you'll be late."
I looked into his eyes and nodded, "Yeah… Thanks Ray."
Then I left, not wanting to though. I might have been young at the time, but I did have a ride of my own, a motorcycle in fact. I hopped on my bike and sped off. As I was riding, I thought about what had just happened with Ray, and how stupid I was for letting it happen. I knew it was going to be harder for me to do what I had to so, I hoped it wouldn't be harder, but not everything you hope for can come true…
My eyes narrowed as I arrived in front of my dad's office. I parked my bike and went inside. I didn't look around, like I normally would entering a building, I just wanted to get the meeting over with and leave. I ignored people when they called me, I just went inside dad's office.
"Ahh, Serenity. You finally made it." Dad said with a creepy smile.
"Yeah, I made it. What do you want?" I asked in a cold voice.
"I just want some father-daughter time. Nothing more."
"Hn. I seriously doubt that."
"You know what tomorrow is, right?"
"Yeah, I know. What's your point?"
"Here," he tossed a black bag to me, "In there is what I want you to wear. Everything is there; a skirt, a shirt, black boots, and, of course the mask you'll be wearing."
"Hn. Is that all? This isn't important. You could have waited till tomorrow, you know."
"Serenity, I know about your friendship with Tyson and his little friends. And I'm warning you, if because of them you can't battle your hardest tomorrow, there will bee severe consequences."
"Hn. After tomorrow, I won't care if I die. Nothing will ever be the same." I then turned and left. Outside familiar, and annoying, faces greeted me.
"Good to see you again, Serenity!" A perky blue haired girl said.
"Whatever." I murmured and was about to leave until I felt someone grab on to my arm. Without looking back, I said,
"I suggest you let me go, Garland. Unless you have a death wish."
"Gee, isn't someone moody today." Garland said as he spined me around to face him. I did nothing but glare at him.
"Yeah, you're right, Garland, someone is moody." Ming-Ming said.
"Yup, she's moody." Crusher added.
"Crusher, Ming-Ming, unless you have a death with, I suggest you shut the fuck up!" I snapped.
"Guys, leave her alone." Brooklyn said.
"Yeah, she probably had a bad day. She doesn't need you guy to make it worse." Mystel added.
"Oh, you guys shut up, too. You're just trying to get on my damn good side." I snapped at them.
"Not me. I'm just trying to be nice." Mystel said in defense.
"Yeah, and I'm being honest and looking for your best interest." Brooklyn chimed in.
"Right… Whatever. Oh, and I bet it was in my bet interest when youand Garlandwere looking at me yesterday when I was sleeping!"
"I… err… we… um…" Both Garland and Brooklyn stuttered.
"You know what? I don't wanna hear it right now." I turned to leave, but someone stopped me.
"Serenity, I heard that you're hanging out with Tyson and G-Revolutions." Ming-Ming said.
"Your point?" I said as I turned to face her.
"I also heard that was some sparks between you and someone from G-Revolutions." She winked at me.
"So? What do you care?"
"Who's the guy?" Garland asked.
"Actually, its 'guys'. There's two."
"WHAT?" everyone exclaimed.
"Yeah. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to… /sigh/ … I have to go shopping."
"What for?" Mystel asked.
"A date. Later!" I walked out leaving a fuming Garland and a confused Brooklyn, Crusher, Ming-Ming, and Mystel behind.
"What's up with you, Garland?" Ming-Ming asked when she saw how mad Garland was.
"Nothings wrong." Garland hissed through clenched teeth.
"Are you jealous that Serenity is going on a date?" Mystel asked.
"Yes… I mean, no. I mean… oh, crap." Garland said. Both Crusher and Brooklyn looked at Garland in a confused way, while Ming-Ming was laughing her head off. "Oh, just can it Ming-Ming!" Garland shouted as he stomped off to train.
"What's his problem?" Ming-Ming asked.
"Maybe he likes-" Crusher started, but was cut off.
"Or maybe he loves her!" Ming-Ming stated, giggling.
He loves her, Brooklyn thought, Just like I do… Hmm, I wonder who she has a date with. It had better not be that Kai. Because if it is, the next time I see him I'll battle him, beat him, and hopefully win Serenity's heart.
In the training room, Garland was thinking the same thing, while Ming-Ming had her own thoughts on who I was going out with. Hmm, I wonder if she had a date with that boy, Ray. He sure was cute and dreamy too! She then giggled at her own thoughts.
"Hey, Mystel, I'll bet you a hundred dollars that Serenity has a date with Ray." Crusher said.
"Fine and I bet two hundred that she has a date with Kai." Mystel said.
"But, how are we going to find out who's she's going on a date with?" Crusher wondered.
"I can find out! I can find out!" Ming-Ming said, eagerly.
"Why do you care?" Mystel asked the eager girl.
"Because I'm jealous! There I said it! Happy!"
Both boys exchanged glances and then started laughing. "Fine, you can go figure out who Serenity has a date with." Mystel finally said.
"Yeah, but just hurry up, will ya?" Crusher added.
"Ming-Ming nodded and ran out the door. Unknown to them, Brooklyn and Garland were spying. They also wanted to know who I had a date with, so they followed Ming-Ming, who was following me.
M.N.: Hmm, I wonder who Serenity's 'dad' is… Hehe. Wow looks like Garland and Brooklyn both have a thing for Serenity and they were the two pairs of eyes outside her window. And Ming-Ming is jealous of her! Ha! Anyway, review! Laters!
Macchi: WAIT!
M.N.: What's up Macchi?
Macchi: I just wanna say one thing…
M.N.: And that would be…?
Macchi: (burps really big and loud) All done!
M.N.: (sweat drop) Macchi… that's what you wanted to do?
Macchi: Yup!
