Chapter 7: Pick me or him


Picnic

Liberta and Felicita went to Regalo Grand Park. They sat down under a massive tree and Liberta pulled out a blanket.

"Isn't it nice to just have a picnic with just the two of us Liberta?"

"Yeah! You know this feels just normal like theres nothing to hide." Liberta layed back on the blanket.

"What did you make Liberta?" Liberta pointed at the picnic basket not bothered to sit up. Felicita looked inside the basket.

"mmmm smells so nice!" "Really? We should go have a picnic more next time." "Wow it's not even the end of the picnic and you're offering another?" "I don't really care."

After when the two stopped gazing at the clouds and talking, they both ate Liberta's homemade sandwiches and cookies.

"Felicita it's time to go since we only have 2 hours left until your 'ball'."

"Gosh why don't you just call it a party?"

"Because your 'party' is really expensive" "Speak for yourself! You have a mansion-like apartment!" They bothed laughed for awhile then Felicita relaxed her head on Liberta's shoulder making Liberta blush.

"W-well isn't it nice for friends just to finally relax after all the stress there was."

"Right friends" Felicita lifted her head back up and standing up.

"Come on Liberta lets go then!"

"Okay!"

"Is Liberta dense or what?" Felicita and Liberta tidied the picnic food and blankets up then they went to Liberta's car.

"Lets take you home then!"

Felicita nodded then they drove off.


Liberta's Household

"Onii-chan do I really hae to wear this?" Angela crying in the use of ugly fashion style

"Angela you're wearing the wrong dress!" Liberta went to her wardrobe and got a pink and cute little dress.

"Here you go" "Thanks onii-chan!" "Hurry up and get changed okay? We're leaving in a few minutes." "Yes sir!"

The two went out of their house and into Liberta's Mercedes.

"Tighten your seatbelts Angela!" "Okay onii-chan!"

"I can't wait to see Felicita and the others and wheres the present?" Liberta looked around the car and found the present next to Angela. "Angela can you look after the present for Felicita please?" Angela nodded as she held the present tight.


Felicita's Ball

Everyone from Arcana High came and put the presents on the presents on a big table. They had to wear casual clothes and had to have an invitation. Liberta and Angela walked through the entrance and was welcomed by several maids and butlers.

"Welcome Liberta-sama and Angela-sama!"

"Hello to you too!" Angela jumping up and down.

"Angela your acting like a 3 year old." Liberta laughed at Angela. Then a Nova walked into the hall with his parents. His parents went to the VIP area which were only for adults.

"Yo Nova you look smart like always."

"And it's the first time you've ever looked smart!" Nova sarcastically saying.

"You-"

"Hey Liberta and Nova!" Pace says.

"You guys not with Bambi yet?" Debito coming from behind.

"I believe we won't see Felicita until the ball actually starts Debito." Luca saying with modesty.

"We have to wait 'that' long?" Pace moaning.

"I hope that Felicita wears a dress this time you know?" Luca was fantanising Felicita wearing one.

"I doubt it she rarely wears one." Mariella joining in to the chat.

"Well if it's her birthday then she would probably wear one" Donatella jumped into the chat as well as Isabella.

"How are you doing Isabella?" Liberta talked to Isabella forgetting that they had a date and Isabella was feeling awkward.

"I'm...fine..." Isabella walked over to the table and sat down.

"Well it seems like we have to take our seats now. Nova are you going to sit with us?" Liberta asked Nova. Nova nodded and all of them went to their table. A tall big man stood on the stage.

"Hello ladies and gentlemens! Welcome to Miss Felicita's 17th birthday! I hope you have a pleasant time!"

"Hey Liberta isn't that your um...foster father?"

"Yeah Dante...His really overprotective but I was lucky to leave the place." All of them laughed then they saw Felicita come down is a beautiful blue dress with her hair tied up like a princess.

Debito: Wow!

Pace: Ooooo.

Luca: Remarkable!

Donatella: That's my girl!

Mariella: Lovely!

Isabella: Pretty!

Nova: Gorgeous!

Liberta just stood there shocked with how stunning Felicita looked then sat down thinking nothing but her.

"Everyone thank you for coming to my 17th birthday! Please do enjoy yourself!" Felicita walked over to the direction of Liberta and everyone else.

"So hows the party so far?"

"Amazing!" Everyone said.

"Stunning..." Liberta realised what he said "uh I mean the party is stunning not you but I mean...(sighs) you look beautiful in that dress Felicita." Liberta was blushing quite abit.

"Why thank you Liberta"

The whole group started talking and talking. Then Nova had to go to the toilet.

"I'm going to get some air for a bit okay?"

"Yeah sure come back okay Felicita?"

"Of course!"

Felicita left to go to the balcony. Nova came out of the mens room and saw Felicita sitting on a chair outside the balcony. He walked up to her.

"The stars are pretty tonight aren't they?" Nova pulled out and seat and sat opposite Felicita.

"Yeah I like watching the stars at night."

"I think I know why..."

"Why then?"

"Because you think that they are the most happiest stars in the entire universe. But it's not true."

"Oh then who is it?"

Nova stood up, turned to look at the stars then turned back to Felicita and pointed at her.

"You. You are the most happiest and luckiest person I have ever met in my whole life! Hell even in my previous lives!"

"Thanks Nova...that really made my day"

"No problem" Nova walked over to Felicita and hugged her.

"I will always be here to cheer you up okay?"

Felicita nodded.

"Now let's get back!"

Felicita nad Nova walked back to the ballroom. Slow music was turned on. Nova walked up to Felicita.

"May I have this dance?"

"Of course" Felicita took Nova's hand and danced.

"Felicita I have something to say..."

"What is it Nova?"

"I love you and want to be with you for the rest of my life"

"..." Nova gave Felicita to Liberta.

"Felicita you really pretty when you dance too!"

"Thank you Liberta I'm honored."

"Listen I have something to say and if you say no then I'll understand but I love you and I want us to be more than friends."

"L-L-Liberta?" Liberta then gave Felicita to her dad.

After the dance, Felicita went over to her mom.

"What's wrong Felicita? Bored already? Or you can't choose who to be your boyfriend?"

"Um...the third one"

"Honey your father's going to be mad if you don't have a fiancee in the next 2 weeks!"

"Why? What's going on?"

"Your grandfather died and now they have no one to take on his company. Your father disagrees to having it but he has to or he could have a son to replace it."

"Oh. But I don't know who to pick! Even though Nova's a workaholic, his still there for me and cares for me. Then theres Liberta who always fun, nice and protective for me. I don't know who to pick!"

"Felicita I'm only going to say this as an advice. Go with what your heart tells you"

Felicita walked away from her mom and had those words stuck in her head. Felicita went over to Nova and pulled him out to talk in private. Just then Liberta's thoughts were "Oh so she picked Nova. Doesn't matter! At least I can still be her friend."

"Are you picking me Felicita?"

"...I'm...sorry no"

"Oh you like Liberta more don't you?"

"Yes I do"

"Well at least we can still be friends right?"

"Yes we can!" Nova hugged Felicita then went off to the mens room. Felicita then walked over to Liberta and pulled him out to the balcony.

"What's the matter Felicita?"

"The matter is that..."

"Is that?"

"Is that..."

"Can you please tell me what it-" Felicita wrapped her arms around Liberta's neck and kissed him. Liberta was quite shocked but returned it and slowly put his arm on her waist. The both kissed passionately for a few seconds then parted lips.

"I love you Liberta not Nova"

Liberta returned the feelings and kissed Felicita on the cheeks. That night, the two went over to their friends and talked. Liberta went to excuse himself for awhile and came back really happy. Felicita was suspicious about Liberta. It was near the end of the party when Mondo went on a stage with an announcement.

"Thank you for coming to my daughter's birthday party all! Now I believe Liberta has something to say to Felicita!" Mondo pointed to a man to shine the light on Felicita and Liberta.

"Liberta what are they talking about?" Liberta bent down on one knee and pulled out a small box from his pocket to his hand.

"Felicita, Will you marry me?" Felicita was really shocked but as she looked into Liberta's eyes, she new he was serious. She nodded.

"Yes," Liberta smiled happily taking out the ring and putting it through Felicita's small finger then looked up at Felicita. They kissed each other passionately then broke the kiss as people around them applauding. Even Nova was applauding! The night ended with people congradulating the engaged couple. All the guests left leaving Liberta to say good bye to Felicita.

"Well it's been a long night but I had fun!" Liberta said

"Yeah me too..."

"I'll see you tomorrow then Felicita." Liberta gave Felicita a long and gentle kiss. Then waved good bye and headed to his car. Felicita waved then looked down at her ring and smiled then headed back into her house.


Liberta's Household

Liberta opened the door to his mansion-like house to see Angela play on the Xbox.

"Angela look at the mess you've made!" Liberta looked around to see junk food all over the floor.

"Onee-chan I couldn't make it to the bin to put the wrappings away since I had something big on my quest and I needed to be present!"

Liberta sighed then started picking up the mess. After the cleaning, Liberta sat down next to Angela.

"Angela...Do you like Felicita?"

Angela nodded.

"Why onee-chan?"

"Well...because...I'm marrying her..."

Angela dropped her remote control.

"No...way...YAY! Felicita's gonna be my sister! Felicita's gonna be my sister!"

"Okay okay calm down. Now go to your room and sleep okay?"

"Yes Sir!"

Angela skipped to her room. Liberta was about to walk to his room when he heard the home phone ring. He picked up the phone.

"Hello? This is Liberta speaking..."

"Liberta I need to tell you something...something important..."

Liberta dropped the phone in horror.

"Hello? Liberta? Hello?"
