D.A.T.E
(Disasters ahead, troubles entered)
It was a peaceful Sunday morning at Ishiyama, the ambiance of a lively city is very visible, the scent of the busy town and…
"Who's that girl? Who knows? She's kinda cute, you know…" people from the sidewalk was murmuring about a pink –haired girl who's standing in front of the train station. It was Lala, wearing a white dress laced with delicate black satin and ribbons, her hair is ponytailed in a high manner, a little lip gloss on her lips, and crystal earrings. She eagerly waited for her date, Furuichi.
"He's late…" Lala sighed. He waited for Furuichi for all of eternity. "Maybe he already had forgotten, that bastard."
"Um… can I get your address miss?" a stranger walked to Lala and asked for her e-mail address.
"Eh? Um… you see…'what's an e-mail address?'"
"I-i-i-i-i-is it okay?!" the man who's asking her was all stuttering.
"Oi, get lost, creep," a girl make the wimp disappeared. Lala looked at her, it was Hilda.
"Hilda nee-sama…"
"Lamia, what are you doing here?" Hilda asked Lala, who still look dumbfounded when she saw Hilda.
"Lamia?"
"Eh? Um… it's because, Furuichi and I are going on a date…" Lala calmly explained.
"Date?"
"Yeah…"
"What is that?"
"Huh?"
"Brother, I know it's Sunday but please, wake up now," Honoka entered at Furuichi's room, waking up his brother. It was past 10 in the morning.
"Wake up, wake up, wake up!" Honoka lost her temper and punched her brother.
"Uhoh!" and Furuichi woke up in bad mood. "What the hell, Honoka!"
"It's because you're sleeping like forever! Help here, dammit!" and she slammed the door shut.
"What the hell's with her?" Furuichi forced himself to wake up. He started tidying his bed, folding his blankets, straightening his covers. He piled up his beddings and then yawned. He noticed that that old big guy wasn't home.
"Maybe he's still bitching off somewhere," Furuichi thought.
Silence.
"OH! CRAP! MY DATE WITH LALA-CHAN! I FORGOT!" Furuichi hurriedly dressed up and he ran like there's no tomorrow. He went straight to where their meeting place is, his hair is a mess, he didn't even took a bath, he didn't even seems to be happy or ready for this, despite the fact that it is his first time. After his random searching, he finally found Lala. He approached her.
"Lala-chan?" he calmly approached her.
"You're late," Lala muttered. Furuichi can see the disappointment written all over her face.
"Sorry…"
"You should said it in the first place that this is what this is going to be… not making me wait for almost a year…" she turned her back and walked away.
"Ah! Wait!" Furuichi caught up.
"You know, I hate waiting, Furuichi," she finally said it, her feelings that she hated that fact.
"Ah, sorry, I forgot. But here, see?" he raised his hands holding a ticket. "It's a movie ticket. Let's watch some movies!" Furuichi invited her, just to avoid the topic already.
Lala gaved him a baffled look. "You're really an idiot. It's just for one person, idiot."
"Eh?" Furuichi looked at his hand, and Lala's right. It's just for one person. "Oh don't worry! We can buy another one at the movie theater!" he searched for his money in the pocket, but…
"God! I forgot to bring money!" Furuichi yelled. Everyone looked at his way. That was embarrassing.
"Geez, Furuichi for God's sake…" Lala sighed, she's bored. She doesn't want to date him anymore.
Furuichi was so embarrassed. He realized just now that he was so prepared the other night just for this. And now everything turns out to be just a disaster. He bowed his head in dismay.
"What I really want is just to make you happy, Lala-chan. I never thought that this will turn into something this chaotic," Furuichi sincerely explained. Yes, it's really rare to see Furuichi on a date and now it's nothing but ruckus. Lala turned her head and faced him.
"Listen, Furuichi-kun, it's not that I really matter if this date would turn out to be perfect, I just wish for this date to be my most memorable day," Lala pleaded.
"You're most memorable day?"
"Money or not, just make this day the best day ever, I'm all fine!" she flashed an ear to ear smile.
Furuichi smiled back. "Ah… I get it now," he held Lala's hand and dragged her along.
Hilda just got home after shopping for their lunch. She placed the groceries on the table and from that, Oga's mother managed. Hilda went upstairs to her master, there is one thing that really confuses her. She knocked at their door and then she opened it. She saw Oga lying on the floor, reading a manga. Beelze was still sleeping on the bed.
"Oh. You're home," Oga welcomed her back and then he paid attention to what he is reading.
"Um. There's something I want to ask you."
"Go ahead…"
"Tatsumi, what is a date?"
Oga suddenly turned his head in astonishment. "What?"
"A date, you know, Furuichi and Lala are on a date. So what is it?"
Oga sat up and then he stopped reading, even though an idiot like him knows something about it. Like when Aoi tried to invite him on that Rice-boy show. He crossed his arms in his chest, and tried to think deep. He breathe deeply, and then sighed.
"Well, a date is done by two people on a dating stage," Oga simply explained.
"Idiot, that's why I'm telling you what is a date? Don't give me that bullshit explanation," she retorted in an icy tone.
Oga make faces. How could I put it, he thought. "Um… you see… a date is…ah… AH! THIS IS A PAIN! COME WITH ME!" and he dragged Hilda along.
"Wait! Where are we going!? The master!"
"Ah… sorry I forgot," Oga lifted Beelze and then they went off.
Because the Furuichi forgot to bring money, they went strolling at the park. The ambiance was nice, a perfect day to go outside and have a little fun. There are group of friends, families, and couples. Thank goodness they belong. Some people where having a picnic, some are just plain sitting, some are riding at the swan lake.
"I want that giant scoop of ice cream!" Lala requested.
"You want it? Well I have a little money here…" Furuichi searched for his money. But holy crap, it was only two yen. He sighed. Lala was a little disappointed. She wandered her head around and then she something that has caught her attention. Her eyes widened in joy.
"That one! I want to try that one!" Lala insisted as she pointed towards the swan lake. "I want to ride there!"
"Yeah… let's ride there!" Furuichi dragged her to the swans and then they ride at it. Lala seemed to be happy, and they spend so much time riding at it. Even though Furuichi seems to be a little bored, he doesn't show it, but tried to enjoy it, just for Lala. As Lala enjoyed the moments riding at it, Furuichi silently watched her, her gestures, her smiles. Lala glanced at him little by little, and noticed that Furuichi has nothing to do.
"What?" Lala shyly asked.
"Huh?"
"You're staring at me…"
"Um… not really…" Furuichi chuckled.
Silence fell between the two.
"Um…Furuichi-kun?" Lala broke the silence between them.
"What is it Lala-chan?" he answered back.
"There's something I wanted to tell you," Lala bowed her head and dismay replaced her happy aura.
"Go on…"
"Um… you see… it's that…"
"…"
"Furuichi-kun… I, I might… leave you soon," she finally said it after all.
Furuichi's eyes widened. Lala will leave him? Why? What on earth is she saying!
"Are you really that bored much? Then how about we go to some place?" Furuichi pretended to be oblivious of she is saying, but the truth is that he knows what Lala really meant by it. He knows that Lala is just Lamia's replacement in taking care of Hilda, but his memories with her was priceless, memorable, precious.
"No… I don't mean it that way… what I want to say is that—"
"Don't! Don't ever say it!" Furuichi bowed his head. His voice was trembling. "Why do you even need to say that?"
Lala pitied him. She didn't mean to hurt Furuichi that way, but making it too long was probably much harder to say goodbye.
"But you see… it's not that soon, maybe it'll take months or if by chance, maybe a year!" Lala's voice shivered. She was on the verge of crying.
Furuichi doesn't want to hear it anymore. He left Lala and he went somewhere else. Lala called him, but he didn't budge to comeback. Lala was left alone.
"So, where are we going?" Hilda asked Oga, who is still dragging her along.
"Explaining it is kind of a pain in the ass, that's whay I'm going to show you how people do it," Oga explained.
"Well…"
As they walked together, Hilda noticed that the place they stop by was kind of quiet. There was a pond in it, a long bridge across it, a cherry blossoms are blooming everywhere. She also noticed that, there is no one beside them at that place. It was kinda romantic, the chirps of the birds, the cherry leaves falling gracefully from the trees. Hilda was amazed.
"This place is very peaceful," she pretended like she wasn't amazed at all, but Oga can see in her eyes.
Oga gave her a cunning smirk. "You're a pretty good liar."
She smiled back.
"Why there is no one here?"
"Well because I'm the only one who knows this place, you're the only one I brought in here so far."
"Even Furuichi doesn't know this place?"
"Yeah."
"So What are you planning to do here? Is this a date that they call?"
Oga gulped. "Um… you see, yeah, it's a kind of date already."
"So what is it?"
"Um, maybe you can relate it to lover's leisure time… it's kinda like that," Oga barely explained. He walked towards the big cherry tree and sat there. Hilda followed, sitting on the other side. Silence fell between the two. They can only hear each other's breath, the chilling wind that blows up to their spines and sends them chills.
"Hilda…"
"What, Tatsumi?"
"Can I ask something?"
"What?"
"Does he ever did it to you?"
Hilda's eyes widened. She was shocked at Oga's question. How did he knew about it?
"What are you saying?" Hilda answered she in a pissed manner.
"You don't need to pretend, I knew your reasons," Oga replied, ignoring Hilda's question.
"Damn fool, don't try to bring the past now."
"I'm not bringing it back. I'm making sure that… I will surpass your damn guy, I'm not that stupid Hilda, by not noticing you as a girl…"
Hilda turned her head and she looked at the other side. She can sense that Oga was dead serious about it, with what he is saying.
"Hm. Just make sure of it, damn fool," and then Hilda was back in the mood. She smirked.
"Ah… I never break promises…"
Furuichi sat at the riverbank, waiting for the day to end. He watched as the sun set in the west, making the light blue sky into rusty orange. The wind is blowing mild, making his sensations calm. I wished I didn't ran like that, he thought.
"I feel guilty, for running like that, she said that she wants this day to be the most memorable day of her life, but what I did was to mess it… AH! DAMMIT!" and he scratched his head.
"Let's just say that, I'm the one who ruined our date," a voice appeared out of nowhere. It was Lala.
"Lala-chan!"
She sat beside Furuichi. "Wow, this must be the best spot to end the day. The sky looks so beautiful, stars are already showing," Lala said while admiring the beautiful night sky. "I'm sorry," Lala finished. Furuichi was shocked. Lala had kissed him in the cheeks. He looked at her with a dumbfounded look on his face.
"Why? Is that bad?" Lala inquired.
"No."
"Then why are you staring at me like that?"
"It's because…"
"What?"
"…CAN YOU DO IT ONE MORE TIME?!" Furuichi has lost it.
"No way!" and Lala Punched him with her bag. Furuichi tumbled down the river with a big splash.
"OH! SO COLD!" he shivered.
"You idiot!"
They looked at each other. Lala was blushing, Furuichi was staring at her. Their eyes met and then suddenly they both find themselves laughing together.
"I promise that… I will never forget you, no matter where you go," Furuichi started.
Lala paused. "Is that so? Did I gave you so much to remember?" she smiled.
"Let's say it that way…"
The wind blew even more. Lala's hair followed the wind's direction. The moonlight shone on her face, her crystal earrings reflected it back. Furuichi thought for the first time that, what really struck him was the thing they called love. That moment was so perfect but…
Ring! Ring! Ring!
It was Lala's communicator. She answered it immediately.
"Hello?"
"Lamia, is that you?" it was Dr. Forcas.
"Forcas-sensei…"
"Are you doing fine?"
"Yeah, why did you call?"
"I have some good news for you Lamia," Dr. Forcas was kind of excited to tell Lala his good news.
"What is it?"
"Lamia, the medicine is done, you can be back to normal again," he finished.
Lala was dumbfounded. She was so shocked the phone left her gripped.
"No, I don't want to go back that quick… I don't want to…I don't want to…" she keeps murmuring to herself.
Furuichi wondered what's happening with her. She even started to cry.
"Lala-chan? What's wrong?" he rushed to her side.
"Furuichi! I don't want to go back!" and he hugged him tight.
"Lala-chan?"
"I don't want to go back! No! no! no!"
She cried at that very moment after Dr. Forcas has told her that. But, she doesn't have a choice. After all the she right now is just a mere existence. It wasn't supposed to happened. It's just because of her little stupidity that everything went wrong but memorable in a way.
"Yeah, yeah, let's go home," Furuichi was about to lift her when suddenly out of nowhere, Alaindelon appeared.
"OLD GUY!" Alaindelon scared the shit out of him. "What are you doing here?!"
"Lamia, I think it's about time to end this little game," and out of Alaindelon was the flaky doctor. Lala was terrified.
"Forcas-sensei…" Lala stared at him with fear in her eyes.
