Journey to Nourasia, an After Oban Story
Ch. 3 birthday surprises
It had been a single day since Eva's reuniting with her love. Both days were filled with fun and excitement. Today was going to be even better. Today was young Eva's sixteenth birthday. She wouldn't have known it hadn't it been for the fact that so many people at school wished her a happy birthday. Aikka was attending school with her and, with Emimi and Mina, were to keep Eva busy when it ended. On Nourasia, the prince was home schooled, on Earth, he went to his girlfriend's public high school.
It was a little strange for him, to be wearing a tight Earth uniform. The prince of Nourasia wasn't use to wearing such attire, no; he was more comfortable in the baggy, loose, karate-like pants and tunic. Aikka felt more secure in his armor as well. But still, he had to follow the rules of the humans. After all, he was the guest of one!
It gave Eva so much satisfaction to show off the being from her tales. It gave her more satisfaction to rub it in Daniel and Derek's faces! The two boys were always the ones to pick on Eva. Especially, when she was talking about one of her races on Alwas and Oban. They would always say that she dreamed it or that she just wanted attention after her dad abandoned her. This usually made Eva angry and she usually ended up almost starting a fight! (MDA: fyi, these boys aren't important to the plot. there really is no need to describe them.)
Why just last week she got detention for giving the boys black eyes! All they got was a warning. "Cockroach" and "Worm" Eva calls them. heck if you used your imagination, that's exactly what they looked like!But now Ms. Wei could prove to them that everything that she said was true!
Ned, the secretary of the school put Aikka in all of her classes so that he wouldn't get confused. But that wasn't the reason she wanted him in her classes. She wanted to be able to have an excuse for when she was staring at him rather than paying attention! She could have said something like, "oh, I was just helping Aikka with this, he's having trouble."
Of course she wasn't sure about the other girls in her class. She was sure they would stare at him as well. But she didn't care really; she knew that the prince would stay loyal to her.
When school ended the gang went to a little outdoor café. Prince Aikka was beginning to enjoy human food. Much like Emimi did when she went to her first food place with Eva and Mina. The teenagers were sitting outside the café when Mina's cell rang. It was Eva's father,"Mina, you can bring them home now."
"Yes sir!" she played. Mina giggled a little bit.
With her highly sensitive Martian hearing, Emimi heard every word and said to her friend, "Eva I think we should take you home. Your dad's gonna want you home soon anyway." Eva was reluctant to go so Aikka did something he would never do, steal Eva's CD player. He ran down the street with it Mina and Emimi following and Eva breathlessly chasing all of them.
The three passed it to one another so that if Eva caught up she couldn't take it out of their hands.
When they got to her house Mina had the player then tossed it to Emimi. She ran half way there then threw it towards the door. The Martian stepped aside and Eva stumbled at the door. Her face slammed right into it. She landed flat on her butt! The CD player still managed to land in her lap!
Eva stood up, opened the door, and walked in. The room was dark and silent. She walked to the center of the room before she heard, "Surprise! Happy birthday Eva!" there was a "little mouse" mixed in with it. Standing before her was mostly everyone from school and three old friends. Rick the ex-pilot and Stan and Koji the current mechanics. Eva smiled she was happy to see the odd trio. She had never seen so many people in one room.
"Hey little mouse! Happy sweet sixteen." Rick said as he walked over to Eva and placed a strong arm around her shoulder.
"Nice t' see you too Rick! I here you've been busy." when Rick left Alwas, he decided to open up a racing school.
"Yep, my students are horrible. They could learn a thing or two from you Eva." the dual colored haired girl smiled and wrapped her arms around the ex-piolot in a big hug.
After things were said and done she went straight to the cake. It was ENORMOUS! "If I stick my finger in this," she thought, "it'll look like an ant stepped into it!"
Next, she went to the kitchen where she saw a mountain of brightly colored gifts! She picked one up and shook it gently trying to figure out what it was. "Hey! Be careful with that!" screamed Koji, "it's very fragile."
"I guess this is from you and Stan. It sounds like parts."
"All I am going to say to you is that it's not what you think it is." Eva thought about it but she couldn't figure out what the clever mechanic had put inside. She rejoined the party. She talked to all her friends from school and retold her venture out into space and her story of how she became the best pilot in the galaxy.
Eva was right in the middle of one of her perils when she felt a tap on her shoulder. She turned and smiled at the prince but he did not return the expression. The girls behind her just stood gawking at him. He gave her a stern look. Like when her father did when she disobeyed him. He said, "Molly, I must speak with you. In private." Before she could ask why, he took her outside in the moonlight of the backyard underneath the cherry blossom tree.
"What is it Aikka?! Why did you pull me out here?!"
"Molly today is my last day here on Earth. I leave tomorrow morning. I feel like I haven't spent enough time with you!"
"Where are you going with this?" asked Eva.
"I want you to come back home with me tomorrow." Was the Nourasian's reply. Eva thought for a moment. She wanted to go with him; after all he owed her just that. On the other hand she couldn't leave her father and close friends. "I'll go. But I have one condition; you let me bring Mina and Emimi!" She laughed the last part thinking of what the two would do once they got there. The Martian and human were great friends, but they tended to have meaningless squabbles.
"I wouldn't dream of leaving them behind! They are coming as well!" Aikka laughed, thinking the same thing.
Eva smiled, she loved this moment. She told her dad. The girl had to beg him before he let her go.
The next day, she met Emimi, Aikka, and Mina over at the tree where she reunited with Aikka.
Eva stood there at the top of the hill, side by side with her friends and her dad, waiting for Jordan to come by. All was silent, very silent. No one spoke a word. Suddenly, a beam of sparkling yellow light flashed to the ground. It was Jordan signaling that he was ready for them to leave. Just before stepping through, Eva gave her dad a huge hug. She cried as she parted from her father. As the group rose up into the ship, Aikka placed his hand on Eva's shoulder. "Everything will be alright. You will adore my home just as I adore your home." They waved goodbye to Don Wei right before they disappeared into the abyss called space.
Eeeeeeek! Aikka took Eva to Nourasia! finally! Not only that but he accepted her two best friends! Before I go, can someone tell me the name of Aikka's parents? Or do i jus' hafta make the names up? I really need it for the next chapter cause the girls meet the king and queen of Nourasia. Oops! Wasn't suposed to let that out! Well, now you know. I'll update whenever possible, k?
