A/N: Please forgive any minor typos, my keys go on the fritz and stick. This chapter`s mainly about Mirabella and Aaron.
Pairings: Ulrich/Yumi, Odd/Aelita, Jeremie/OC, OC/OC. DON`T LIKE, DON`T READ!
Mirabella and Aaron ran into the lunchroom and grabbed their lunches. The petite girl led her new friend to her table, where Camille and Raiden were waiting. They looked up at their friend.
"Hey Mira. Who`s he?" Camille asked, nodding to Aaron.
"Cammie, Rai, meet Aaron Dunbar, William and Sissi`s son. Aaron, these are my friends Camille Belpois and Raiden Stern." Mir introduced.
"Pleased to meet you, Aaron." The ombre-haired girl said as her boyfriend nodded.
"Igualmente. Como estas?" Aaron smiled.
"Say what?" Camille looked lost.
"He speaks Spanish like me. He said, 'Likewise. How are you?'" Belle explained.
"Oh. Fine, thank you."
"Cammie, mind if we sit somewhere else?"
"Oh no, go ahead Belle. See ya in Chem, kay?"
"Kay kay." She took Aaron to another table and sat down.
"Why`d you not want to sit with them?"
"I feel...awkward when they get all lovey-dovey."
"Por que?"
"Because I feel like a third wheel."
"I see. Sorry to hear."
"It`s fine. So, what`s life like with William and Sissi as parents?"
"Mom`s kind of a control freak...always wants me and Dad to do as she says. Dad`s pretty cool, always has time for me. Not much to talk about. What about with Odd and Aelita?"
"Dad was always painting or something, but always made time for Mom and I. Mom was always there for me, since she`s a housewife..."
"Cool. Hey Mira?"
"Hmm?"
"Tu eres muy bonita."
She froze. "Que?"
"Tu eres muy bonita...y simpatica, y interesante."
Mira blushed as pink as her hair. "Y-you mean that?"
"Si..." He tentatively took her hand. She smiled at him.
"Gracias."
"De nada."
The bell rang again, signaling the end of lunch. Belle waved to Aaron as he left for class. She headed back to her room.
-That night-
Mirabella was sitting on her bed, brushing her long rose and lavender hair, when she heard her phone ring and picked up.
"Hello?"
"It`s me, Mira." Her mother`s soft voice rang out.
"Hi mama...what`s going on?"
"Well, it turns out your father signed up to go to an art exhibition in New York City...he signed all three of us up."
"What?"
"We`re all going to New York for a week. The school`s been informed. We leave tomorrow, so start packing."
"...yes, ma`am."
"We love you, sweetheart."
"I love you too." She hung up and texted Aaron, Raiden, and Camille, then quickly began to pack, turning her radio on and singing along to the random songs that played.
-Two days later-
The young girl was alone in the hotel room, since her parents had gone out for a dinner with several other artists. She looked over at her laptop beeped, requesting a video chat, which she accepted.
"Hello?"
"Buenas noches, Mira." Aaron grinned at her.
"Aaron! Que tal?"
"No mucho. I kinda had something for you though."
"For me? Aw, you didn`t have to do anything..."
"But I wanted to. Hang on." She saw him pick up a black and red acoustic guitar and sit on his bed.
"Ready?" He asked.
"Mm-hmm." She sat on her bed with her computer as he began playing guitar and singing, altering the lyrics a bit.
"Hey Mirabella, what`s it like in New York City? I`m a thousand miles away, but girl, tonight you look so pretty, yes you do. Times Square can`t shine as bright as you, I swear it`s true. Hey Mirabella don`t you worry about the distance, I`m right there if you get lonely, give this song another listen, close your eyes. Listen to my voice it`s my disguise. I`m by your side. Oh, it`s what you do to me, Oh, it`s what you do to me, Oh, it`s what you do to me, Oh, it`s what you do to me, what you do to me." He finished. The petite girl teared up.
"Oh my...That was lovely Aaron..." She said softly. "How`d you know I loved that song?"
"Camille."
"Oh, that little gossip..."
"It`s not so bad. Well, we better get to bed."
"See you soon."
"Night."
"Night."
Song of the day: Hey There Delilah by the Plain White Ts.
Now for a little game. The kids`names all have something in common. Whoever can see how first and reviews gets a chap dedicated to them and an OC added. The names:
Camille Genevive Belpois
Mirabella Bianca Della-Robbia
Raiden Hiro Stern
Angus Aaron Dunbar (Yes, Aaron goes by his middle name.)
*Hint: Raiden kind of breaks the pattern.
R&R, my friends. I`ll be back soon!
