"It was a small one. Like one given to a parent. Possibly, it was something just to say goodbye. I don't think I should have overreacted." She texted towards George. "The reason's are multiple. Maybe she's... Well, yeah, Mon Cheri. It might just be a goodbye thing, I dunno, I don't wanna know. I'm going back to my game." With that, the text ended. She played FireRed and smiled. She walked to the Classrooms and finished her daily assignments, going to the Drama room for last block. Her hands sweated as her Nuzlocke Leader, Jackel the Snorlax, was desperatly fighting for his life.

George waved back to Haruni with a friendly smile and as her father asked, he was seated.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Well Mr Kanoya, I've been actually having a hard time with my friend Ken. We had a fight and, well, I don't know if he's ok. I wish he'll recover soon.' [/color]Then George realised who he was talking to. Mr Kanoya wouldn't like her daughter hanging out with a ruffian who gets into fights. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Of-of-of course, as self defence!'[/color] he began to smile nervously. [color="#2F4F4F"]"That was an absolute disaster! Why can't I keep my cool around Cheri's dad! Never any guy, never any girl, but always Mr Kanoya!" 'Erm, asides that my education is coming along fine. In fact I've also gotten a nice job. I've managed to get a nice apartment near to the school. I'm just a busboy, but I always get a lot of tips. I don't think Kono-san, my boss, would ever let me quit! I'm bringing in so much cash it's unimagineable!' [/color]Then he decided to talk about Cheri a bit. [color="#2F4F4F"]'I do hope Cheri's doing okay aswell, I always enjoy her company. She's really a magnificent daughter. I am so grateful, Mr Kanoya, that she had a father like yourself. I think you've raised two wonderful daughters Mr Kanoya, and I hope if I ever father children I do a good job at least as half as good as what you've done. It's really inspirational.' "I hope that'll do the trick. Please please please please please!"[/color]

[Hotaru987]

[color="#483D8B"]"A fight? When did you start rough housing?"[/color] Mr. Kanoya said suddenly very interested in the conversation. When George explained that it was self-defense, Mr. Kanoya nodded slowly as if excepting the answer. George continued to speak, saying that he had a job and his own place. Hearing that impressed Mr. Kanoya. [color="#483D8B"]"I see. It soounds as though you're doing pretty well foryourself. Are you completely supporting yourself? It's impressive to hear that you are able to maintain good grades as well as a job. I did the same back when I was in school, you know. Very impressive."[/color] Mr. Kanoya said, then listened to what George was saying about Cheri. Haruni stiffled a laugh as she listened to George attempt to impress her father, like always. Though Mr. Kanoya seemed to always get wrapped up into it, and it showed as he smiled happily, [color="#483D8B"]"She is my oldest and my pride and joy. Along with young Haruni of course. I'm glad that you two decided to get back together. You are one of the only young men that I actually approve of."[/color]

[color="#483D8B"]"Alright I'm ready!"[/color] Cheri called out as she came back down the stairs. This time wearing a short sleeved, light pink shirt that was lose fitting and hung off of one shoulder. Her pants were again jeans but they were much looser than her previous ones.

[color="#2F4F4F"]'Like I said, I just bring in a lot of tips, don't know how it happens really.'[/color] George said to Cheri's father scratching his head in confusion. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Thank you, Mr Kanoya, it's always a pleasure talking with you. And also I thank you for giving me another chance with Cheri.'[/color] George said as he bowed on last time. Then he saw Haruni spying on him. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Oh, real mature!' [/color]He said, laughing as well. Then Cheri came downstairs in her much more casual outfit. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Now that is more like it, Cheri!'[/color] George said to her, giving her his trademark smile. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Now is it just me or do you actually prefer to wear such laid back clothes?'[/color] He asked. Then he turned to Mr Kanoya and said[color="#2F4F4F"] 'I'll have her back by ten, don't worry, I'd never want to upset your wishes Mr Kanoya.' [/color]He said as he walked towards the front door. [color="#2F4F4F"]'And Cheri, I'll take this slow if it's what you want. Now, say adios to your dad and I'll get the car warm for you.'[/color] Then before he left he stopped. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Oh, Haruni, I got this for you. It's a harmonica. My mom gave it me, believing I had musical talent. Well, I actually have never touched it. Play it, sell it, what evs! Take good care of it!' [/color]And then he walked out the door to the car. [color="#2F4F4F"]'A'ight, let's turn up the heat.'[/color]

[Hotaru987]

Mr. Kanoya nodded, [color="#483D8B"]"Good to hear. I suppose I should start on dinner for myself and my baby girl."[/color] Haruni facepalmed at her father's nickname for her. Of course he had to actually say it out loud when someone else was there. She was going to head back up stairs and work on the song for tomorrow's Glee class, but something George tossed at her caught her attention. When she caught it her eyes widened. [color="#483D8B"]"No way! This is a Tremolo Harmonica! I've been trying to find one of these for ages! It's in wonderful condition...Thanks George! Have fun!"[/color] With that Haruni dashed off into one of the rooms on the floor they were on.

[color="#483D8B"]"The instrument room. She's going to be in there for hours playing that thing."[/color] Cheri said right before George left the house. After a quick goodbye to her father, Cheri was in the passenger seat of the car. [color="#483D8B"]"Oh, and to answer your earlier question, I do enjoy comfortable clothes. It's nice to just relax and not have to worry about image too much or anything."[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

George felt happy that Haruni liked her gift. When Cheri got into the passenger seat, George said [color="#2F4F4F"]'Cher, you never need to worry about your image. Your perfect.' [/color]which followed by a quick kiss as he accelerated down the road. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Anyways, I know you enjoy healthy food so I decided to make you something healthy, but with a a lot of ettiquette and class. Red Salmon steak with green peas & Cheeses plate all acompanied by a bottle of dry red wine- err, well, actually I got us water as a sub, but if you want any go for it.'[/color] George took a turn and drove onto the pavement where his apartment was. [color="#2F4F4F"]'A'ight, got...the...keys.' [/color]He sad as he fished his jeans for the keys. [color="#2F4F4F"]'And there we go! Stairs or elevator, m'lady?'[/color] then he said [color="#2F4F4F"]'Or of course I could carry you there, but I pressume you are an independant woman. Am I not right?'[/color] And when they reached the apartment the dinner's aroma could be smelt from the door. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Mmm...that's intoxicating, but not as much as your love is to me Cher.' [/color]And he opened the door. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Make yourself at home, the Salmon's on slow so we have about...' [/color]He scanned his anolog clock. [color="#2F4F4F"]'...god I hate analog...about twenty minutes.'[/color]

[Hotaru987]

Cheri was kind of surprised that he remembered that she was rather health conscious in her food choices, and couldn't help but smile at the dinner he prepared. It sounded delicious. She was gettng hungrier just thinking about it. She hadn't eaten anything since lunch at school that morning. When they got to the appartment, George asked her whether she wanted t take the stairs or elevator. She chose the latter, not wanting to sweat through her clothes. She didn't know how far up his appartment was. Now at the door to his appartment she could smell the aroma's of he food. If she didn't have class she would probably be drooling at the mouth by now. [color="#483D8B"]"It smells delicious aleady. I can't wait to taste it. Too bad we have to wait 20 minutes. So mind giving me a little tour to refresh my memory?"[/color] She asked grabbing his hand.

[Kyng's Old Account]

As Cheri grabbed George's hand he blushed a bit. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Oh- Well, sure, I suppose.' [/color]He took her into the living room.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'I decided on a simple relaxed environment, so this is my crash landing place. Leather sofas, nice coffee table, the works.' [/color]Then he took her into the kitchen. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Qute fine marble work in here, this is where the magic happens! It's not that big really.' [/color]Then he led to a small corridor. [color="#2F4F4F"]'And on the left's the bathroom, bath and shower both provided.'[/color] And then he indicated on the right.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'And this is the bedroom. It's pretty snug in there, but at the mo it's a bit disorganized. I'm replacing the PC over with a newer model.' [/color]Then he took her over to the living room again and sat her down. [color="#2F4F4F"]'And that's pretty much it. Small, but stylish, still costs a fortune to maintain though. Rent could be cheaper, but with the economy, that's unlikely.'[/color] Then he played around with her ponytail. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Your hair is so soft, you really know how to make yourself look incredible Cheri.'[/color] BEEP BEEP - BEEP BEEP. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Ok, the salmon's ready.'[/color] George said as he was getting up from the sofa...

[Hotaru987]

Cheri really didn't need a tour of his place. In fact Cheri had never forgotten where every room, door and item was. Though she did see a few changes in his taste and they lay out of his furniture. It was cute to say the least. The only reason she asked for the tour, was just to hear him talk. He had the most lovilest voice, she could listen to it for hours. Cheri had to catch herself because she had stopped listening to his words, and only hearing his voice. Seconds later, George led them back to sofa and started to play with her hair.[color="#483D8B"]"Well it's quite a bit of work, but I think you're definately worth it."[/color] She smiled. Cheri was becoming bored of this small talk and wanted him to lean over amd kiss jer like he did in the school parking lot. But he was taking his time probably for her sake, which was sweet, but not what Cheri wanted. 'BEEP, BEEP, BEEP'. It was the timer for the salmon. When George stood up, Cheri grabbed his hand and pulled him back down, [color="#483D8B"]"The salmon will be fine for a few extra minutes. You are taking way too long."[/color] She said before pulling him into a deep and passionate kiss, rubbing her tongue against his.

[Kyng's Old Account]

George was surprised by Cheri pulling him back. And the kiss they shared was immensely passionate and magical. As Cheri's tongue rubbed against his, George's danced around hers. He pulled back saying [color="#2F4F4F"]'Well someone isn't very hungry, so do you want to skip dinner, or...?' [/color]He didn't know what to say. He'd always tried to be a nice guy and he'd never taken things too far with Cheri before. He said[color="#2F4F4F"] 'It's not like you to chase a guy like that. Usually it's a trail of guys after you. I don't know why but I think you're nuts about me.' [/color]George then kissed her again, lying on the sofa with her on top of him. BEEP BEEP - BEEP BEEP George didn't know what to do. He pulled away to ask [color="#2F4F4F"]'We eating or are we making out?'[/color] with his smile on his face.

[Grunt Issun]

Jake and Carolyn were walking home, Carolyn could hardly contain her happiness, "Carolyn? Really?" Jake asked her, an accusing look on his face, "What?" she asked, not knowing what he was talking about, "You're pretty much DANCING home" Jake told her, "Oh shut up, Jake!" she shouted at him, then ran on ahead quickly back to home, "Hi pops" she said quickly to her father, before prancing upstairs to her room, Jake entered a moment later, "Whats she so happy about?" there father asked him, "Nothing much, she just got a date I think" Jake told him, "A date eh? I trust you'll keep an eye on them?" he asked Jake, "Sure dad" Jake answered him, then ran up to his room.

[Hotaru987]

Cheri smirked up a George making small circles on his chest. [color="#483D8B"]"That just goes to show how much I love you. You are the only guy that I would even think about chasing after. The only one worth my time, and so much more. I would give you anything to make you happy George. I really mean that."[/color] She smiled a bit at the last part. [color="#483D8B"]"As for that dinner, I would hate for all of your work to go to waste. We can always resume afterwards."[/color] She stole another quick kiss before sitting up, and moving off of him. She held out her hand and waited, [color="#483D8B"]"Shall we, love?"[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

[color="#2F4F4F"]'But of course.' [/color]George said, kissing her hand leading her to the table and pulling out her seat, to push it in for her after she sat down.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Now then...' [/color]George walked back to the kitchen and collected the food. [color="#2F4F4F"]'...this isn't an original recipe, however it's all home made and I thought you'd like it alot.'[/color] He then brought in the two salmon steaks, placing Cheri's before her with the side dish of cheeses in the center of th table. He then fetched two candles and lit them, which followed by dimmering the lights and collecting two bottles of red wine and two bottles of water. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Whichever you decide upon. Completely up to you.' [/color] he said, pouring her two glasses, one of water and one of wine. He did the same for him and then George sat down to begin to eat his dinner. After swallowing his food he asked [color="#2F4F4F"]'How's the squad doing? The championships are coming up soon, we need an excellent team ready for it. The captain is pretty readied for it, I heard the she's always in top condition. I also heard that the cheerleading captain is extremelly hot.'[/color] He asked, reffering to Cheri in the third person.

[Hotaru987]

[color="#483D8B"]"Thank you, love."[/color] Cheri said as George began setting the table for them both. She raised a finely arched eyebrow when he lit candles and dimmed the lights. [color="#483D8B"]"Looks like someone is trying to get me in the right mood. And I must say it's working fabulously."[/color] She winked at him before cutting into the salmon. The second she ate some, her tastebuds was sent to heaven. It was so moist, and seasond so perfectly it was almost a sin. The skin had a slight crunch to it, but not overly so to make it unappealing. George then asked how the squad was doing and she smiled playing along with him.[color="#483D8B"]"I heard they were doing good as well. Their captain is a very devoted individual, who will make sure that her team is prepared for the competition. You know, I recently heard that this very talented, and hot cheerleading captain is dating someone. They say he quite handsome, and very much then gentleman every girl wants in their man. I wish I coul dhave met him, he sounds absolutely delicious."[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

[color="#2F4F4F"]'Well, I hope for the best for each of us.' [/color]George said, continuing this silly little game. George enjoyed Cheri's company, but suddenly his phone vibrated. [color="#2F4F4F"]"Ugh...really? Now? Of all times?" [/color]He thought as he said[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Sorry, I specifically told everyone not to call me.' [/color]He picked up the phone and answered it.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Hello?..Yes, I know Ludwig, what's wrong?..Yes......Really?.....That's terrible news...I...Well, send him my best...Okay, goodbye.' [/color]He put the phone down and returned to his seat, a little depressed. 'That was Ludwig's aunt, she's taken him bac to Germany. His mother died in a car crash.' George looked down at the food, a tear left his eye. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Poor guy...' [/color]but he knew how he felt. George himself was an orphan. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Cheri, I think I should tell you something. I'm an orphan. I was adopted by the Stone family at a young age, and this news has reminded me of that.' [/color]George then wiped his teary eye. [color="#2F4F4F"]'I'm sorry, we shouldn't let this ruin ou time together. I put all this together for you, babe, to show youjust ho much I missed you.'[/color]

[Hotaru987]

[color="#483D8B"]"Oh of course! Let's get back to us. Who cares about some person dying-Do you really believe I'm that cold hearted?"[/color] Cheri said raising an eyebrow, before standing and walking behind George hugging his from behind. [color="#483D8B"]"I don't know this Ludwing guy personally, but he was a friend of yours right? If you want to talk I'm all ears.[/color] To hear he was once an orphan shocked Cheri, but didn't comment on it. If her father hadn't come back to america when he did, she probably would have been an orphan as well. She wouldn't have even met any of these people. [color="#483D8B"]"My salmon is a bit hot right now, and while we wait for it too cool, we could go back in the living room and just relax. And if you'd like I have a shoulder rub with your name on it."[/color] She kissed him on the cheak, [color="#483D8B"]"What do you say love? We can talk somemore while we're in there if you like."[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

[color="#2F4F4F"]'Cheri...you know, that'd be just what I need right now.'[/color] George said, his mind a bit flusttered.[color="#556B2F"] 'And I'll think I'll take a glass of that.' [/color]He said as he had some red wine. As they sat down George said [color="#2F4F4F"]'I don't know what to say...Ludwig's mom was so kind...and now? It just doesn't make sense, you know? Life is so frustrating. I know I act like I have it all together, but it's small things like this that can swipe me off my balance.' [/color]He then looked at Cheri as he continued.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Ludwig...we were like two peas in a pod. We both came from different countries, we both got along well. Ever since that stupid party everyting has been going to pot. The only good thing that has happened after the party was that we got back together.' [/color]George then sighed.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'I understand why Ludwig's going home, but really? Not like this...'[/color]

[Hotaru987]

Cheri listened to George's story without inturrupting or saying anything. The only thing she did do, besides listen to his whole story, was give him the shoulder rub she offered. She stood behind the sofa and gently rubbed her fingers across his shoulder blades. She placed a light pressure on the base of his neck, and rubbed circles soothing along the space between his neck, and clavical. [color="#483D8B"]"Well, as much as Ludwig probably wanted to stay with you, it's best if he's with family right now. To help him cope with losing his mother. Before you know it he'll be right back over here and you two will be doing whatever it is that you too do. Trust me. And it's not like you two still cant talk to eachother. Don't worry babe."[/color] She then left for the kitchen, before coming back out with her glass of wine, and sat down next to him, pulling her legs close to her, [color="#483D8B"]"Shall we have a drink to his mother's memory?"[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

[color="#2F4F4F"]'Sure, she was a real nice woman and a hell of a mother.'[/color] George said [color="#2F4F4F"]'Cheers.' [/color]He swug back the wine, not trying to savour it. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Wow, that actually was quite nice wine.' [/color]Then he looked at Cheri and said [color="#2F4F4F"]'Thanks for listening Cher, I'd be lost without you.'[/color] As he took another drink.[color="#2F4F4F"] 'Ludwig's mom! We wish you to rest in peace and we wish for Ludwig to get over his grief. Wait, I was supposed to do that before I drink.' [/color]George decided to put the bottle down, he had his morals and he knew they'd be flying out the window if he was drunk. [color="#2F4F4F"]'That was nice.'[/color] He said as he rested his head on Cheri's laps. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Thanks for calming me down, your amazing Cheri.'[/color]

[Hotaru987]

Cheri smiled and completely downed her glass in one go, giggling slightly when he said the toast after they drunk the wine. [color="#483D8B"]"I'm glad that I was able to help you. Though all I did was listen to you. I don't really know how helpful that could be."[/color] She said blushing slightly. When George laid his head on her lap, she shifted in her spot to get more comfortable. She then started to massage his scalp absentmindedly, [color="#483D8B"]"I wonder what everyone will say once they see us back together. I'm not looking forward to running into Ken at practice, well once he gets better of course."[/color]

Ooc: Kyng we should rap it up so others can come back in.

[Kyng's Old Account]

[color="#2F4F4F"]'Yeah, you're right.'[/color] George thought out loud. Suddenly, George realised where he was. he was on Cheri's lap. Suddenly he blushed very badly. [color="#2F4F4F"]"This is a bit awkward, is it? Think about it George, trust yourself enough?..No! I don't! I feel tipsy and soon I'll be out of my mind!" [/color]George thought quietly in his head. [color="#2F4F4F"]"I am not going to take advantage of her. I am not going to take advantage of her. I am not going to take advantage of her..." [/color]Suddenly George jolted from his seat. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Err, Cheri, I think you'd best go home now! I mean, I think I'm a bit drunk and I don't really *hic* really *hic* really trust myself in her with such a really...really hot chick like yourself...'[/color] Then he slapped himself. [color="#2F4F4F"]'See! I'm sorry, maybe some other time? I knew the wine was a *hic* idea.'[/color] George sounded worried. He'd never wanted to go too far with Cheri, especially when he was drunk.

[OoC: Got it.]

[Hotaru987]

Cheri looked at George with a worried expression. While she was alittle surprised that the wine had effected him so quickly, she was disappointed that they had to call the date off so quickly. She knw it was so that they didn't do anything while drunk, but it was still a let down. [color="#483D8B"]"Well...I suppose you're right. Um....I guess I'll see you tomorrow."[/color] Cheri gave him a kiss on the cheek, lingering there for a few seconds then pulling back with a small smile. She put her shoes on, waved at George with a small 'bye', but suddenly she hesitated. There was a small problem. [color="#483D8B"]"George....You drove me here. I can't get back home unless you drive me or you give me your car for the night."[/color]

[Kyng's Old Account]

As Cheri explained the scenario George responded in a jolt. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Ah! Well, err, hmm...I'm in no state to drive, so, um...' [i]"I can't let her stay round, her dad would kill me! And especially since I'm drunk! If word of this got out I don't know what I'd do!" [/i]'Hold on...' [/color]George then got his car keys and came back to the door. [color="#2F4F4F"]'Well, you'd best take the car Cheri, I'm in no fit state to drive and I could walk to school tomorrow...' [i]"Don't say it!" [/i]'...or you could, erm, stay round?'[/color] George punched himself in his thoughts. [color="#2F4F4F"][i]"IDIOT! WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING! Let's just hope she declines."[/i][/color]

[Admiral_Stalfos19]

[color="#000080"]"Look, whatever was going on this morning only happened because the person responsible wasn't herself,"[/color] Josh attempted to reassure Chihiro, [color="#000080"]"I'm sure everyone would rather not go to school tomorrow, but we'll be fine. History teaches us this after all, since these type of things only happen like... what? Once in a lifetime?"[/color]

Somewhere in his mind, Josh was fully aware that getting over such a trauma was much easier said than done. But at the same time, he felt he had to try. It wasn't in him to allow people to suffer on his watch.

[Hotaru987]

Cheri looked at George for a while and then looked down with a small laugh. [color="#483D8B"]"While I very much appreciate the offer to stay, I really don't think that'll be a good idea. I wouldn't want you to feel bad, or guilty about anything that you might try to do."[/color] She said walking over and taking his car keys. [color="#483D8B"]"I'll be back in the morning to pick you up so you don't have to walk to school. Love ya, babe. Sweet dreams."[/color] Cheri leaned in to give him a kiss, then leaving the apartment, and down to his car. She started it and pulled off, heading back to her house to get some well earned rest.

Ooc: Ok yall can go to the next day now.
