Mayl was shooken up that week. She only wanted to see Lan that week. Otherwise, she never came out of her house. The boy was arrested for kidnapping. He got 20 years. The shot in the shoulder was considered an act of defense. Lan cancelled his training lessons with Rose for the week. But the week after…
"Arg! I still can't do it!"
"Keep trying Rose, you'll get it."
"Ok… Sword, Wide Sword, Long Sword, Battlechips in!"
Program Advance: Life Sword
X grew a huge Sword. He swung it at Axl, missing, AGAIN.
"SIGH… I'm done for today Lan…"
"You sure? Because I have more time."
In reality, he didn't. He had a date with Mayl tonight, a very special night. Tonight was Mayl's birthday. She had given up all her chances for a huge party, lots of presents, cake, and friends. She gave it all up to have a nice dinner with Lan at her favorite restaurant: Peacock's Flambé flames. But, of course Lan would forget.
"Didn't you and Mayl have to go somewhere tonight?"
"OH Bleated for possible swearing!"
"Giggle"
"Sorry to run out on you Rose, but it's Mayl's birthday!"
"Oh, I understand. So we are you meeting her?"
"Well, I'm picking her up, but were going to that Peacock restaurant."
"I see…"
Lan ran upstairs to get ready. Rose left by the time he got down. Lan was wearing an orange shirt, not a sweater, took off his bandana (Mayl's idea), had long black jeans. It was what he wore on they're first date. Lan went out of his house and knocked on Mayl's door. The door opens.
"Hello Mrs. Sakurai. I'm here to pick Mayl up."
"She's upstairs, but knock first."
"Right, right."
Lan rush's upstairs, waiting to see what Mayl looks like. He knocks, and no answer. H knocks again, no answer. So he opens the door.
"LAN!"
Lan comes out and closes the door. Mayl comes out.
"Your very impatient Lan."
Lan blushed, and looked like he had blood all over his face.
"Lan, it was ok. I don't mind…."
She gave him a kiss. He smiled. They told her parents goodbye, and left. Mayl wore a White dress (Not like those big puffy dress's in a princess story), a flower on her wrist, one in her hair, and some high heels. They got on a train. They moved to the back of the cars, because no one was there. They wanted to be alone. I'm not going to go into what happened. They arrived and got off the train. They walked down the sidewalk.
"Mayl, you look beautiful tonight."
"This old thing? I wear this when there's always a special occasion."
They stopped. Lan put his hand under her chin.
"That's not how I see it."
She smiled, and lit up. She pecked him on the lips and they continued.
They arrived at the restaurant. Lan saw a familiar face… No, it was two… He walked in.
"Table for two please."
"Yes sir. Right this way."
The waiter got they're drink orders, and brought them. They ordered they're food as well, and they waited. Lan turned around. He got up from his chair.
"So Rob, is this that person you were talking about?"
"…"
"Rob? Lan? Is there something I don't know?"
Mayl got up.
"Princess Pride! Rob! So nice to see you!"
"He, very nice."
"Lan, can I talk to you in private?"
"Sure Rob."
Lan and Rob walked away.
"Well Rob, is it?"
"Well…"
"I should've known. But you? And Princess Pride?"
"I traveled the world a lot, ok? I met many girls. Some I had crush's on, some I just knew were pretty. But Pride… Pride was different."
"Does she know?"
"… No…"
"Hm. You need to tell her Rob."
"I can't!"
"Why?"
"S-she…"
"She's what?"
"She's set for marriage…"
"Ouch. But she's only 14, why now?"
"Her father is dying. She has to take over, and she needs a king."
"Why not you?"
"She needs someone who can rule along side her. I wouldn't be able to do that. I'm also a lower life form in her eyes…"
"Now don't you go saying about that. You need to lift yourself up. Your not sure if she likes you or not."
"Well… This is a date."
"See?"
"But I don't know if she LOVES me."
"Never know till you try."
"… It's not that easy."
"All I know is, you really love her, and you'd take a bullet for her, right?"
"Yeah…"
"So it shouldn't be much of a problem."
"Arg! If only it were that easy. Lan think about it, she does not love me! She's in love with this other guy!"
While Lan and Rob fight, Mayl and Pride get the chance to talk.
"So Pride, what's a pretty princess doing here?"
"We'll, I'm getting married, and I wanted to see Rob, seeing how he's been my best friend for years. I wanted him to be best man."
"Married? But your only 14."
"I know, but daddy's not felling well, and he can't rule no more. They need rulers, so I have to get a king."
"Do you even know each other?"
"Well… Not very much. I met him a few month's ago."
"Then let me pop the big question. Do you love him?"
"Well, that's the part I'm unsure of. I've never been in love before."
"How do you know you don't love Rob?"
"Hm… It wouldn't sound right. Were best friends. But I don't think It'd end like that."
"Look at me and Lan. We're in love, and we've known each other since childhood."
"Well…"
"Just think it over. You might be throwing something valuable away."
"…"
Lan and Rob…
"Listen, Lan, for 300th time, NO!"
"Come on, what's the worst that could happen?
"That she says that she doesn't, gets married to that other guy, and never talks to me again!"
"SIGH, it's hard for men, I know."
"LAN!"
Again, Lan and Rob kept bickering. This went on for about 5-10 minutes. They finally stopped and sat down. Lan just stared down into Mayl's eyes… She giggled a bit, but she liked it. BUT, something caught his ear….
"Laaaaan?"
"Hm…."
"I've got a proposition for you…."
"Hm…"
"Get me this ring (She's holding a catalog up), and I'll make it worth your while…."
He looked up.
"How?"
"I'll give you a taste…."
She gave him a big kiss. Lan smiled.
"O-ok… I'll get it…."
"Good boy."
Mayl excused herself to go to the little ladies room. Lan's phone rang.
"Hello?"
"It's me, Rose!"
"Hi Rose!"
"I need you to come meet me in the library right now. Can you?"
"Well, I don't know…."
"You could just leave Mayl a message…"
"Well… alright."
Lan wrote down a message saying he went to the library. Lan walked out the door, with Rob becoming curious to what he was doing… Lan passed a shop window. He smiled, and went in. He came out with a little bag. He headed towards the library. Meanwhile, Mayl got out of the bathroom. She looked at the note and frowned a bit. She decided to follow him.
…
…
…
Lan arrived, with Rob in the doorway.
"Why the unexpected leave Lan?"
"Can't a guy read?"
"On his Girlfriend's birthday? On a date?"
"…"
"It's not my business, never mind."
Lan just shrugged and walked in. He meet up with Rose where some of the kids were.
"Alright Rose, what do you need?"
"I-I have to tell you something…"
"What is it Rose?"
"I-I-I…."
She blushed a little.
"I-I lo-love you…"
Lan became confused, but she jumped up and kissed him. Lan was a bit shocked. When she pulled back, she waited for a response.
"R-rose…."
"I-I'm sorry…"
"Roe… It's ok. I'm love Mayl, I'm sorry…"
"…"
"How bout this: Try this ring on, see if Mayl would like it?"
He reached into the bag he was carrying. He pulled out a small box. It had the biggest ring she ever saw. It many many diamonds on it. It wasn't Mayl asked for, but she loved diamonds.
"I saved up my money to buy that new game system, but I saw this and knew Mayl would like it."
Rose put the ring on.
"She'll love this! I'm sure she'll like it!"
She gave him a big kiss.
"Your very thoughtful Lan."
She gave the ring back. He thanked her, and turned towards the door. But, there he stood, he saw Mayl, with her jaw dropped. She dropped her purse and began to cry. She ran out the door.
Lan ran to stop her. He caught up with her.
"Mayl, wait!"
She turned around and gave him the biggest slap he ever felt.
"You… YOU!"
She started beating on Lan. Lan stopped her.
"You don't have any idea what just happened here do you?"
"Why the heck would you leave me, and go to see her? Lan, TELL ME WHY!"
"… I…"
She just had a major breakdown. She ran off. Lan tried to catch her, but couldn't. She ran out into the road.
"Goodbye Lan Hikari!"
A light headed towards Mayl. She screamed. Then she was hit. She rolled onto the sidewalk.
"MAYL!"
Lan ran over to her.
"Get up Mayl, get up!"
She wouldn't move.
"Mayl, stay here!"
Lan could see she wasn't breathing.
"Mayl, don't go… I need you… DON'T LEAVE ME!"
………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
So this is how Mayl is hospitalized. It's not the end, trust me. Broken hearts is coming, but it has to get better. (Seeing how Capcom said Lan and Mayl become married)
