Ch. 2 – ending party
Jr. and MOMO had successfully been treated and where as healthy as could be. Shion and the others were wondering how the guy who was shot in the back was. He was reincarnated with the Life Recycling Act and was now another soldier under the control of the Miltian Government.
"Jr., want to go with me to the Smile Bakery?" MOMO asked one day. Jr. looked at her and nodded.
"Sure. You guys want to come?" Jr. asked Shion and the others.
"No, no. That's okay. We all have other things more important things in here to do. If you two go, then make sure to be back soon, okay?" Shion explained. Jr. nodded and left with MOMO following behind.
"They better bring back something for us." Tony interjected while Hammer nodded in the background. Shion and chaos looked at each other and sighed.
Jr. and MOMO were in the Foundation and making their way to the Smile Bakery when MOMO dragged Jr. into a different direction. Jr. was caught off guard and lost his balanced, but quickly regained it.
"What are you doing MOMO?"
"I just wanted to visit the Ironman one more time. This time with you with me." She smiled an innocent smile. Jr.'s eyes widened when he was pulled again.
When they entered the building, it was empty. Only the bar tender and the piano player were there.
"Ummm…MOMO, why are we here again? Or wasn't there a reason?" Jr. questioned MOMO left him to go and talk to the piano player, who was almost falling asleep.
Jr. was left in an uncomfortable situation. He was in the middle of the room staring at the menu above the bar. The bartender was staring at him awkwardly.
"So…how's it goin'? You and your 'buds' get everything worked out?"
"Nah, I haven't talked to them in a while. I don't think I'm planning to either." Jr. looked from the glowing signs down to the waiter in front of him.
"All right then, I'll do that for you." The piano man said as he cracked his knuckles, making MOMO flinch.
"T-thank you…" She said timidly and ran back over to Jr., who had taken a seat across from the bar tender. They seemed to be having a stare off until MOMO interrupted.
"Jr., ummmm….I was wondering if you'd…dance with me?" She was blushing furiously as she nervously turned slightly side to side. Jr. was shocked at the invitation, but he thought why not?
"Sure…but there's no…" The piano started playing a familiar tune. It was slow, but sounded very professional.
"Well, never mind. I guess there is music." Jr. laughed. MOMO joined him with giggles, but then she skipped out to the dance floor. Jr. hopped off the barstool and walked over to her.
"Just to let you know, I'm not a very good dancer…eh heh…" Jr. scratched the back of his head nervously as MOMO only smiled.
"Don't worry. I'll teach you the best that I can." MOMO smiled and held out her hand. Jr. tilted his head.
"You're supposed to take my hand silly. Then you place a hand on my shoulder and then we'll go to the stepping part." Jr. still looked kind of confused, but did as she told him. He tenderly took her hand and gently laid his other hand on her shoulder.
"Okay, now we step in a circle, like this." MOMO explained. She slowly began to pace Jr. and herself in a small circle. Jr. didn't know what he was doing, but so far he liked the contact. He felt himself blush as he stared into MOMO's golden eyes.
"You're doing great!" MOMO cheered. Jr. put on a weak smile. The song seemed to last forever, giving Jr. and MOMO time to practice dancing. After what seemed like an hour, the two decided to head back to the Elsa.
"Thanks for the dancing lessons MOMO." Jr. thanked. MOMO nodded and smiled warmly at him.
"No problem. We should do it again sometime…" She stopped walking for a second. The artificial weather in the foundation was turning into a warm and peaceful sunset and everything was painted a brilliant orange, red and yellow.
"Isn't it beautiful?" She asked as she stared at the sky in a trance. Jr. nodded and looked at her with caring eyes. "Yeah….it really is." MOMO smiled and then turned to Jr. and planted a soft kiss on his cheek, causing them to both blush. MOMO raced off toward the Elsa with Jr. chasing after her.
