Hey you guys! Okay so last time, Momoko woke up on Brick's bed and realizes that he truly loves her and is going to make things up with her in order to gain her forgiveness. But now she's taking the Professor's punishment and she escaped from him while he was downstairs with his brothers. Looks like someone forgot about making sure she doesn't escape XD. Enjoy the story!
Ch. 15
Miyako's p.o.v.
I was in the kitchen wearing an apron over my pajamas making some chocolate chip pancakes for all of us while waiting for Momoko and Kaoru to wake up. I decided to get up early because Boomer asked me yesterday during school that he wanted to show me something during the afternoon and because its 9:00, I still have 3 more hours to finish breakfast and get ready for his surprise. I thought about what he was gonna show me but its probably something that wouldn't interest me at all or anything since I'm very open-minded about things. I finished making the pancakes and after pouring syrup on them and putting them on the table near the orange juice, I washed my hands and put some silverware on the table and began eating my share of pancakes. I made sure that I made a lot for Kaoru since she really loves my pancakes so much and a few more for Momoko because of her sweet tooth.
"IS THAT CHOCOLATE CHIP PANCAKES!?" I heard Kaoru yell when she came downstairs. She wore a green tracksuit with white adidas and she wore her lucky hat today.
"Yes Kaoru-san, I made them for breakfast today" I answered politely.
"YOU ROCK MIYAKO!" she complimented me and ran toward the table and began gobbling up her food.
I slightly giggled at her actions and continued eating my breakfast. I was slightly surprised that Momoko-chan wasn't up yet since she always wakes up before Kaoru does but today she's not downstairs yet. I finished my pancakes and took my plate to the sink where I began cleaning it. Kaoru was still gobbling down on her pancakes and I sweatdropped at her actions. 30 minutes came by and I heard Momoko running downstairs with a slight pant. She wore a red turtle neck sweater with blue skinny jeans, pink sneakers, and a charm bracelet on her wrist.
"Hey girls! Sorry that you had to wait! I must've overslept or something" Momoko sheepishly rubbed the back of her head.
"Don't you usually get up before me?" Kaoru asked with suspicion.
"I guess today I must've been really tired that I overslept or something hehe" Momoko said with slight apprehension.
"If you say so" Kaoru said as she went back to eating her pancakes.
"Momoko-chan, I made some chocolate chip pancakes today" I replied.
"Arigato Miyako-chan! You're the best!" Momoko said.
She sat down and ate her pancakes happily while I finished cleaning up my dish. After we were done eating breakfast, I noticed that Momoko-chan's lips were a bit swollen and her cheeks were turning slightly pink.
"Momoko-chan, are you alright?" I asked her with worry.
"Of course I am Miyako, why do you ask?" she said with confusion.
"Your lips are a bit swollen and your cheeks are slightly pink" I answered.
"WHAT!" she checked her reflection on a shiny spoon and she slightly gasped.
"Oh man" I heard her whisper.
"Spill the beans Momoko! What happen!?" Kaoru demanded.
Momoko sighed in defeat and told us everything on what she did last night and how Brick encountered her and knew who she was including us and that she was taking the Professor's punishment since he lied to the RRBZ about our supposed deaths and told us about his confession to her and after all that, I covered my mouth in shock and Kaoru was both shocked and angry.
"WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT MOMOKO!? NOW THE BOYS ARE PROBABLY GONNA BLACKMAIL US SINCE THEY NOW KNOW WHO WE ARE!" Kaoru shouted.
"I had to get Duchess on our side so she and Princess can help us with the plan!" Momoko shot back. "Freeing her was the only way to gain her trust and make the plan work!"
"Momoko-chan, you're not falling for Brick are you?" I asked her.
She slightly paled and looked down on the floor with interest while covering her face with her bangs.
"I have no clue Miyako. When he confessed that he was sorry and cried in front of me, I felt sad for him and there was only truth in his eyes so he wasn't lying" Momoko answered. "My heart is telling me to love him but my mind is telling me that I can't fall for him because of the plan"
"You can't fall for him Momoko! This is probably some sort of trick he's pulling on you! Those Ruffs are still evil and they just want to destroy us again like last time!" Kaoru tried to reason with her.
"I know Kaoru but I just don't know what to do" Momoko sat down on the chair while burying her face in her hands.
I went over and hugged her for comfort while looking at Kaoru with a worried expression on my face. She sighed and went over to Momoko and hugged her for comfort also. I gently rubbed Momoko's back and whispered comforting words to her.
"Its gonna be all right Momoko-chan. We must focus on getting the Professor and the others back to us so we can save the world" I reassured her.
"But how when I can't stop thinking about Brick?" she looked at me with sadness in her eyes.
"Think about something else besides Brick like your favorite manga that you loved to read?" Kaoru suggested.
"Or Annie's fudge brownies that you once told us that they were like tasting heaven" I added.
"I do love reading Fruits Basket and Annie's brownies are definitely like being in cloud nine" Momoko smiled. "Thanks for the reassurance girls. I really needed that"
"You're welcome Momoko!" Kaoru and I replied.
I checked the time and realized that it was 10:00 and I'm supposed to meet Boomer at the park at 12:00.
"Hey girls, I'm gonna go take a shower and get ready because I'm supposed to meet Boomer at the park during the afternoon" I said.
"Why does he want to meet you?" Momoko asked.
"He said that he wants to show me something" I answered.
"Let us know if he does anything bad to you" Kaoru frowned.
"Arigato Kaoru-san but I'll be fine so don't worry about it" I reassured her.
"If you say so" Kaoru said.
I went upstairs and inside my room where I have my own private bathroom and grabbed my towel and clothes and went inside the bathroom and started taking a shower. I used some blueberry scented soap to wash my body and after getting cleaned up, I dried myself off including my hair and put on the outfit that I chose: a white tanktop with a picture of a raindrop on it with a blue coat over it, jean shorts, blue ballet flats, and my hair was braided into pigtails that touch my shoulders. I put on some light make-up on in my signature color, grabbed my things, and went downstairs. I checked the time to see it was 11:40 so I waved good-bye to my friends and headed out the door towards the park where I was going to meet Boomer. I wonder what the surprise is though?
Boomer's p.o.v.
I was at the park waiting for Miyako to show up while thinking about what happened at the house and how Brick was pretty upset about Momoko escaping from his room.
Flashback:
"I CAN'T BELIEVE SHE ESCAPED WITHOUT LEAVING A NOTE!" Brick yelled in frustration as he ripped a pillow in half.
"Dude just calm down! All you gotta do is punish her once you see her and she'll learn not to escape without your permission" Butch tried to reassure him.
"Butch is right so please don't destroy anything else" I said as I pointed to the coffee table broken by Brick's fists.
"Sorry about that bros but I just can't believe she managed to escape. I knew I should've locked the windows from the outside so she wouldn't leave" Brick groaned.
"We all make mistakes bro" I said.
"By the way, what are we gonna do about Duchess escaping from the prison? Its obvious that pinky must've helped her escape or something" Butch asked.
"We'll deal with the snob later but for now, I gotta prepare Momoko-chan's punishment since she asked to take the Professor's punishment so he wouldn't get hurt and I'm gonna enjoy what I picked for her" Brick smirked.
"Anyways, I gotta go to the park now. I'm supposed to wait for Miyako-chan so I could take her somewhere for our date" I said as I began leaving with my things.
"Where are you gonna take her?" Butch asked.
"Its a secret!" I called out as I exited the door.
"TELL US WHEN YOU COME BACK!" I heard Brick shout but I already closed the door before I could reply.
End of Flashback:
I broke out of my thoughts when I saw Miyako walking toward me. She wore a pretty cute outfit and the sun was reflecting her hair, making her look like an angel. I snapped out of it before she could think I was checking her out and I wasn't.
"Hello Boomer-san!" she greeted.
"Hello Miyako-chan!" I greeted back.
"So what was it that you wanted to show me?" she asked.
"You'll have to wait and see now come on!" I grabbed her hand and led her into the woods.
We walked for like a few minutes until we reached a clearing. I moved aside some bushes and when I showed Miyako the scenery, she gasped.
"Its so beautiful!" she awed.
The clearing had a lake with so many flowers surrounding it and there was a tree that had white blossom petals that had a swinging porch under its branches. Butterflies were flying around the flowers and a couple of bunny rabbits were frolicking in the meadow. I gently led her to the porch and we both sat down while she looked around at the place.
"How did you find a place like this!?" she asked with curiosity.
"I found it not too long ago a few days after I heard that you and the girls supposedly died" I answered with a sad smile.
"Y-You knew?" she hesitated.
"Brick told me and Butch everything and no I'm not mad at you Miyako just relieved that you weren't dead because I couldn't stop getting nightmares about it and I blamed myself for hurting you and I'm really, really sorry for what I have done. I'll do everything I can to earn your forgiveness because you mean so much to me" I explained with tears forming in my eyes.
I quickly wiped them away before she could notice but she did and touched my cheek with her hand. She looked at me with a face full of worry, hurt, regret, and pity. She then hugged me and I hugged her back while I began sobbing.
"Let it all out Boomer-kun, just let it all out" I heard her whisper.
I began crying and let out all the pain that I felt when I thought that the PPGZ were dead, pain from masking away my emotions so my brothers wouldn't worry about me, pain when I thought that I lost Bubbles for good, and pain for being the worst counterpart to her and threatening her and her grandmother.
"Miyako-chan! I'll do everything I can to earn your forgiveness and I'll release your grandmother since she means a lot to you" I whimpered. "I promise that I would never hurt you anymore"
"Arigato Boomer-kun" she whispered. "You are a good person"
I smiled and hugged her more because I didn't want to stop hugging her. I saw a sunflower bloom in front of me and I realized that I'm starting to bloom more like the sunflower because I'm learning to make things right.
