Chapter 15. (Oh mi gosh -.- can't stop writing... I got ideas again... though in the next two, three days I won't be able to write anything ^^ I'm busy... lol)
It was early morning. Rosette and Chrono were still in their deepest slumber, when the telephone decided to viciously pull them out of their dreams. Rosette groaned and pulled the covers up over her head "You get it" she mumbled and felt Chrono move. He yawned widely "Why is it always me to get the phone this early?" he muttered annoyed and got out of the bed.
"Because I can always make you get it" Rosette whispered smugly from under the covers.
She heard Chrono take the phone, talk and after a while hang it back up. He lay back down and sighed.
"Who was it?" the blonde asked, making the young man smile "Can't tell you as long as you're under the covers" he said and watched her emerge from them a little after. She looked very tired "Well?"
"It was your boss, she told me to tell you not to come today" Chrono replied and draped an arm around her to sleep again.
"What? Why?" Rosette asked confused.
"Oh, it was something about, picking up a child somewhere and have her son and daughter-in-law to watch it all while she was gone... she didn't want beginners to watch it all by their self and gave you a day free" he explained with a smile "Which means, we can sleep in today" then he pulled her closer and sighed.
The blonde turned around to face him "What do we do today then?" she asked "We could go shopping"
"Nah, don't wanna" Chrono pouted sleepily "How about we just make a relaxing morning, a nice day out in the fresh air and then a romantic evening?"
Rosette narrowed her eyes "You make life far too easy" she grumbled. Chrono leaned in and kissed her lips sweetly "Does it have to be difficult?" he whispered and closed his eyes.
Rosette sighed "You really are hopeless" she mumbled and placed her head under his chin to sleep again.
"I know" she heard Chrono mumble, soon before he fell asleep once more.
They woke again about three hours later. Rosette was the first to wake up. She smiled at him and kissed his chin, before she pried his arm off of her waist and stepped out into the living room. It looked like it would be a nice day. Then she walked into the kitchen to prepare breakfast.
She found out Chrono had woken a couple of minutes later, when a pair of arms snaked themselves around her waist. She told him to go out and buy some morning bread for them, which he did with only little protest. Before he went off to get those though, he got the mail from their mailbox. There was only the newspaper and a letter without any stamps on it.
Chrono looked it over and found out it was for him. He brought it back into the apartment and opened it. Rosette stepped up beside him "Who is it from?" she asked curiously.
"It seems from one that is close to us" he replied "And it's not Aion" he opened the letter and read it. It was an invitation. Chrono was invited, but for Rosette, it only said "And if you must take your girlfriend as well... of course you can take more friends if you like"
Rosette was furious when she found out it was from Satella. She growled a few curses to befall on the red haired snob and said "Please say you're not going love... that woman is up to something"
Chrono smiled and leaned down to kiss her forehead "It's not a date-kind of meeting... it's an invitation for a karaoke party evening" he said "I'm sure it's going to be fun, and I definitely will take you with me"
"But I can't even sing" she pouted "I haven't sung since that other fic"
"I'm sure you have a wonderful voice love... come on" he pleaded "Won't be fun when you're not there with me"
Rosette sighed "Very well... but I won't talk with that rich witch"
Chrono smiled "That's my girl..." he stroked her cheek and went off to buy bread. Rosette glared at the letter "So you hope I won't come huh? If you even try to flatter or flirt with my boyfriend, I'll definitely show you" she grumbled and prepared the table for breakfast.
The day passed by quietly. The couple took a nice long walk in the fresh air. Went eating at a cheap restaurant. A Burger King to be precisely. Then they prepared for the great evening.
Rosette just wanted it to get over with. She dressed in something casual and Chrono just wore a dark blue shirt with a pair of black jeans. When they were ready, they took off to said meeting place. It was a big room. At the end was a stage and on the stage two microphones. Red curtains draped down over the stage on each side.
Rosette rolled her eyes when she saw all the fancy stuff decorating the room. It was just like Satella to overdo it like that. There weren't many people there yet though. Except of Chrono and Rosette, there were only a few boys standing at the food table and a few girls standing a little offside chatting and gossiping.
She felt Chrono's arm tighten around her when he saw a very familiar face in the little crowd. It was Leon. He had seen the pair arrive and marched right over to them.
He greeted them. Rosette with a overly charming smile and Chrono quite stiffly. Chrono greeted him a little coldly, but Rosette could see he was amused by the acting the man in front of him did. When Leon walked off, the red eyed young man leaned down and whispered "I don't think he likes me"
Rosette chuckled "You don't like him either, so why worry about it?" she smirked and gave him a peck on his cheek.
Chrono smiled "That's right, I don't have to worry" he straightened "But I think I'll make it a little difficult for him tonight" a mischievous idea popped up in his mind "Let's see who's the best of us two"
Chrooonooo" Rosette warned "Don't even start that idea of yours, you'll leave him alone, do you understand?"
Chrono pouted "Just a little fun? Come on" he pleaded and nuzzled her neck sweetly. Rosette shoved him away "Only a little harmless fun then" she replied firmly "Promise me"
"I promise" he grinned and pulled her with him over to where most of the boys were.
A little later Aion arrived. He looked much better now. His hair was slowly getting thicker and his skin a little less pale. He still had his walking stick tightly in his hand. Rosette gave him a hug and smiled when he told them the cab was about to cheat money out of him. He had bonked him on the head and got the truth out of him that way.
"That's my brother" Chrono remarked, making Aion smile innocently "I didn't do anything"
(The words I use the most -.- "I didn't do anything!" lol)
None of them had seen Satella until now. They actually wondered where she was. Rosette seriously hoped she wouldn't come, but unfortunately, her wish wasn't granted.
The light died and a spotlight was pointed on the stage. Until now all of the friends Chrono and Rosette had invited had arrived. There was Aion, Anna, Azmaria, and a few more.
There were now more than twenty people in the room.
On the stage appeared a beautifully dressed Satella. Her long hair flowed freely down over her shoulders. The dress she wore was a bright yellow, almost golden colour. She smiled at the "Audience" and took the micro into her hand. A long speech was held (Too long for me to write -.-) and then the first were invited onto the stage.
"My first singer this evening is my favourite of all... he is none other than my friendly neighbour Chrono Oni" Satella smiled and clapped.
Rosette glared at her. Chrono leaned down to whisper "I'll come right back to you love" into her ear and then stepped onto the stage.
"So darling, what will you sing this evening?"
Chrono looked thoughtful "Hmm... I think it will be a very beautiful song that I've heard not so long ago... many will not like it, but it's very wise..." Chrono explained "I think we could all learn something from that song"
(A song made of Michael Jackson and many other famous people ^^ USA to Africa "We are the World" It's so beautiful ^^)
Chrono grinned "I warn ya, it's a little long"
Satella smiled "Oh it's okay... just begin" she said. The music started (It's a machine that knows all music -.-! let's just pretend it is right?) and Chrono started to sing.
"There comes a time
When we head a certain call
When the world must come together as one
There are people dying
And it's time to lend a hand to life
The greatest gift of all
We can't go on
Pretending day by day
That someone, somewhere will soon make a change
We are all a part of
God's great big family
And the truth, you know love is all we need
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
Send them your heart
So they'll know that someone cares
And their lives will be stronger and free
As God has shown us by turning stone to bread
So we all must lend a helping hand
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me
When you're down and out
There seems no hope at all
But if you just believe
There's no way we can fall
Well, well, well, well, let us realize
That a change will only come
When we stand together as one
[Chorus]
We are the world
We are the children
We are the ones who make a brighter day
So let's start giving
There's a choice we're making
We're saving our own lives
It's true we'll make a better day
Just you and me"
(I was so touched by this song ^^ I am so sentimental -.-)
Everyone clapped. Rosette mostly gaped open mouthed at him "And he never told me" she grumbled, watching him step down from the stage. Satella smiled and told that everyone could try to sing if they wanted.
A man Rosette didn't know stepped onto the stage as second singer. People sang and chatted as they wanted. The evening had just begun, and already Rosette was angry at the red head. The evening would be very long.
AN: First part of the evening ^^ I hope you liked it.
"Thank you very much Mariam for your idea ^^ I'll be sure to use it!!"
"Mange tak for din hjælp!!!"
Until next chapter.
