Chapter 10
Jet leaned back in her chair, moving her hands up behind her head. She closed her eyes a little, trying to ease the messed up jumble that were the thoughts in her head. Across from her Viki sat in her chair with one leg crossed over the other and her fingers mindlessly drumming on the table.
The two sat like that in an attempt to seem as relaxed and casual as possible, while shooting uneasy glances at Alice. The said red head, was taking orders from the table nearby. After she'd finished she walked over to Jet and Viki's and smiled warmly at them.
"Hello again," Alice began giving a slight bow. "I'm Alice and I'll be your waitress today." She lifted up her notepad and flipped to a new page. "Can I get the two of you anything to drink?" Jet opened one eye lazily.
"Do you have lemonade?" Jet asked. Alice smiled and nodded.
"Of course." Alice replied. Jet closed her eye again, before nodding her head slightly.
"I'll take that for now." Alice scribbled it down on her notepad before turning to Viki.
"Can I get you anything?" Viki frowned slightly shooting a glance at Jet, looking for any indication of what she should order. However her friend's eyes were closed and her mouth was turned up in a nonchalant smile smile. Viki sighed.
"Um, I'll just have a water, please." She said weakly. Alice nodded and added Viki's order to her list.
"Okay, I'll just go and get those for you." She turned away from and walked toward the counter to get their drinks.
When she was out of earshot Jet murmured. "Relax Viki, we just ordered a couple of drinks, it's not like Alice would poison us." Viki shot her friend a glare, whose face still had a lazy and relaxed expression on her face. Like she'd come here to eat daily. In that moment Viki envied her for her calm.
"Maybe she wouldn't, but what about Masquerade?" Jet opened her eyes and frowned slightly. Then she shrugged.
"Well, remember," Jet said sitting up in her chair and leaning forward slightly, beckoning Viki closer to her. Just as a precaution, so that they weren't overheard. "Alice doesn't realize that she's Masquerade until episode 38 and besides, such an action is uncharacteristic for Masquerade."
"But still! How can you be so calm and relaxed!"
Jet answered with a shrug, "Eh, it's just a part of the rollercoaster that is my emotions." She leaned back in her seat again, smirking slightly. "Enjoy, it while at lasts, because calmness for me, doesn't last long."
"True enough." Viki muttered folding her arms across her chest and looking away from her friend to glare at the wall to her left.
Soft footsteps approached them followed by Alice's voice. "Here are your drinks." She said smiling.
Jet opened her eyes and returned the smile, she tipped her head to the table. "Thanks would you be so kind to set them down for us?" She glanced at Viki before adding. "Oh and don't bother with my friend." She leaned forward and whispered in the red head's ear. "She's just in one of her moods." Alice merely nodded and set down the drinks on the table. She turned to Viki.
"Well, I do hope you feel better." Alice said.
"Hnn." Viki said, nodding her head slightly not taking her eyes off the wall. Alice glance at jet, for help but, jet had begun to hum the tune of "Airplanes" softly. Alice sighed, and picked up her tray and walked away from the two girls.
The tinkling of a small bell rang through the air of the restaurant causing Alice to jump slightly. Jet on the other hand merely turned in the direction of the source, her eyes widening in surprise.
"Viki," Jet hissed. "You have to look at this, but make sure, you don't make it too frickin' obvious." Viki turned around and threw her friend a dirty glare when she saw what her friend what had caught her friend's attention so quick. She blinked slightly as the boy walked over to Alice, and lifted her hand and gave it a small kiss. Alice blushed slightly at the action while Jet and Viki narrowed their eyes suspiciously.
"What the heck is Klaus von something doing here?" Viki asked Jet. Her friend glanced sideways at her, while keeping one eye focused on the two people at the front of the restaurant.
"No clue. But, since he is one of Masky's minions, (the best of them actually since he's ranked 2nd best) I highly recommend we try to act like we're actually from this dimension and not another one."
"Well no duh!" Viki snapped back, she began to wring her hands together nervously. She was about to add something more when Jet suddenly whipped around. "Jet whaa-" Jet held up her hand to signal silence. Viki stared at her friend with a blank expression on her face for a second. Then she looked beyond her friend's head and she noticed that Alice had guided Klaus to the table directly behind Jet.
The blue haired boy was giving Alice his order. Apparently he'd said something that the red head had found amusing due to the fact that his words had been met with a series of muffled snickers. Then his eyes locked with Viki's. Viki stiffened slightly, as Klaus's lips turned up into a smile that could've been considered flirty, due to the fact that Viki felt warmth rise up into her cheeks. She quickly broke eye contact and instead locked eyes with her friend's. Jet smirked slightly.
"Has birdbrain taken a backseat on your crush list already?" Jet whispered, and Viki snorted and instead opted to stare at the table. Jet chuckled at how deep her friend was blushing.
The scrape of the chair being pushed backward reached Jet's ears, and the girl's chuckling stopped as she glanced sideways just as a tall blue-haired boy walked into her line of view. Jet narrowed her eyes, she glanced at Viki, and her friend had stiffened up as the boy approached them.
"Why hello, I was hardly expecting to find any ladies of such vibrant beauty at this small restaurant." Klaus said as he stopped at the edge of their table. Jet scowled slightly as he turned to Viki and threw her a flirty smile. Viki quickly averted her eyes and began to wring her hands together nervously. "Could I please have the honor of knowing your name fair maiden?" Viki's blush deepened so much that Jet, thought she looked like a tomato.
"V-viki." Viki said in a soft voice. "V-viki Long." As the words left Viki's mouth, Jet had to fight the urge to slap her forehead and then proceed to smack Viki upside the head for being so stupid. Viki, the one who was worrying about something like Masquerade maybe poisoning their food, and then she goes and gives her name, her full frickin name, to one of his best minions! Then Klaus turned to Jet and Jet quickly tried to make her face as calm as possible.
"And may I ask the same of you?" Jet met his gaze easily, ignoring the grin plastered on his lips.
"Last I checked it was impolite to ask a lady her name without offering your own." Jet replied her voice as cold as ice. Klaus frowned slightly at her remark before he nodded his head, his smile returning.
"Ah you are quite right, my apologies. Allow me to introduce myself, I am Klaus von Hertzon, and I don't know if you brawl or not, but I will tell you that I brawl with the Aquos attribute aided by my elegant Sirenoid." On cue a small blue ball popped out of Klaus's pocket and hopped onto his shoulder. It popped open to reveal the ball form of Sirenoid. She nodded toward jet and Viki.
"Greeting's humans," She said in an elegant and polite voice. Jet's composure almost cracked, at the politeness of Sirenoid's voice. But quickly she recovered it. While across from her Viki's eyes widened at the sight of Sirenoid.
"Oh, isn't she just so cute jet?" That did it, Jet's composure washed away like rain as she snapped her head in her friend's direction, shooting her a poisonous glare. It was then that Viki snapped out of it, her eyes widened in realization of what she had just said.
"Jet, huh?" Klaus mused he crossed his arms across his chest and cocked his head to the side letting Jet's name roll of the tip of his tongue. "What an intriguing name for a girl."
BANG! Everyone jumped at the sound of a chair crashing to the floor. Heads turned to see, Jet standing with her palms flat on the table her head down. Slowly she lifted her head and turned it in Klaus's direction. When their eyes locked Klaus unintentionally took a step back. Jet's normally calm blue eyes, were ablaze with anger and ferocity.
"Do you have a problem with my name?" Jet hissed in an icy tone that made even Viki shudder slightly. Jet took a step toward Klaus. "Do you?" She repeated.
Klaus was now visibly sweating; he had his hands up defensively. He bit his lower lip slightly, "Er well no I well-" He trailed off at the sound of a slight buzzing noise. Jet had also stopped her advances to look towards her pocket. Viki forgot that she was supposed to be scared when she watched as jet's brow furrowed slightly and she reached into her pocket and pulled out her cell which was vibrating madly. She lifted it up to her face and stared at it blankly. Viki stepped away from the table and walked over to her friend.
"Who?" Viki asked, Jet flipped over her phone so that the front was facing up, her eyes widened in alarm. Viki took another step closer craning her neck to see who was calling. "Jet?" jet turned to her and whispered sharply.
"It's Alica."
