V Day Chapter 3

Author note: Sorry about not updating again – but no one gives me reviews, so I don't know if anyone wants to read this! I'll update anyway – just because it's fun for me to write! Sorry this chapter's so short – but it's just the way it ended up. Enjoy!

Paine was fuming. After all this time waiting for a proper Valentine's card, and she got this.

Deciding not to throw it out or destroy it after all, she threw it on the windowsill, and shoved some bread into the toaster. She was just going to forget about it. After all, it was probably just a prank, or one of her creepy stalkers. Yevon knew she had enough of them – enough to wonder why she didn't get more than one card.

The one who sent this was probably a lot braver than the rest.

Although, now she thought about it, there had been no address on the card. It had to have been posted by hand.

But it came with her other mail. It had to have been slipped in with her other mail...

...or sent by her three-time divorced post-woman.

She shuddered at the thought. It couldn't be her. At least, she hoped not.

The toast popped out, and she began buttering it, still deep in thought.

The mail service in Bevelle was run by New Yevon. Baralai could have sent it – but he was way too busy to go to the hassle of personally asking her 'postwoman' to deliver it straight to her home. No way could it be him.

She sat down with her breakfast, just about to start eating, when the doorbell rang. Her eyes shot towards the clock. Rikku wasn't due until 10, which meant she'd be here around 11. There wasn't a way in hell she would be on time, let alone as early as 9:30. So who would be at her apartment this early?

Paine was sick of all the questions in her head. She ripped open the door, ready to take out her bad mood on whoever was behind it.

Two swirly green eyes stared back at her, but the voice she heard definitely wasn't Rikku's.

"Why the hell are you wearing my shirt?"

Oh yes. She was going to kill Gippal.
