*Rachel, accompanied by Jawo and Lilia walk over to Mike's house. They arrive, and the three walk up to his front door*
Rachel: *sigh* Here we are.
Jawo: Okay. Go on.
Lilia: Don't be afraid. Remember, we're here with you.
Rachel: ...
*Rachel takes a deep breath and proceeds to knock on the door. After a moment, Mike answers the door*
Mike: Who's there?
Rachel: Mike...
Mike: Rachel?
Rachel: Yes, it's me. I'm back.
Mike: Hmph. Why did you even bother?
Rachel: Huh?
Mike: You leave me alone for 3 years without a word, and then you have the nerve to show up at my doorstep and act as if nothing's wrong?
Rachel: I'm sorry...
Mike: Do you even know how worried I was? Off throwing yourself into danger everyday just for money. I had thought you were dead!!
Rachel: But I was doing it for us! Can't you see that!?
Mike: I don't care! There are other ways to get money! You didn't have to risk your life like that! What if you had gotten hurt? Did you even think about that?
Rachel: N-no. ...I didn't...
Mike: I know you didn't. And where's this money you've supposedly earned up? I don't see it anywhere.
Rachel: I don't have it. I...never earned any...
Mike: What!? You mean to tell me that you've been gone for 3 long years, putting your life on the line, and you haven't even made a single penny!?
Rachel: ..What have I done...
Mike: You tell me, Rachel.
Rachel: Can you ever forgive me?
Mike: It's too late for forgiveness, Rachel. Much too late. I've already moved on.
Rachel: *shocked* No...
Mike: It's true. I couldn't let myself be worried over you any longer. After the first year, I stopped my sulking and went on with my life. And I suggest you do the same.
Rachel: But Mike! I...I can't--
Mike: You have no choice.
*Mike reaches into his pocket and takes out a ring*
Mike: This...this has no meaning anymore.
*Mike takes the ring and tosses it at Rachel's face. It hits her cheek with a slight thud and falls to the ground by her feet. She then picks it up and glances at it*
Rachel: This..this is..!
Mike: It's nothing. It's garbage. Throw it away.
*Rachel tightly clenches her fist and grits her teeth in anger. She then closes her eyes and walks away*
Lilia: Ah! Rachel wait!
*Jawo turns to Mike and glares at him*
Jawo: You... She didn't deserve that...
Mike: Well I didn't deserve what she did to me.
Jawo: It's true, you didn't deserve it. But even still, she cared enough to come back here and try to apologize. And what do you do? You practically spit in her face! You're even worse than scum...
Mike: Hey, mind your own business, pal!
Jawo: She is our business!!
Lilia: Rachel's our friend! We'll always stick up for her no matter what!
Jawo: Yeah, unlike you. You're the person she cared the most for, yet you wouldn't even address her like a human being. You disgust me!
Mike: Yeah yeah. If you're done, can you kindly get off of my property?
Jawo: Oh oh, just one more thing... *crack knuckles*
Mike: Huh?
*Jawo pulls his fist back and throws a heavy left hook to Mike's jaw. The force of the punch sends him flying back through the doorway and crashing through everything indoors*
*crashksspphbashbongdumppingdoosh*
Jawo: Heh. There's something you deserved. I hope you enjoyed it, because I sure did.
Lilia: Way to go, Jawo! You showed him who's boss!
Jawo: You don't think I overdid it, do you?
Lilia: Nah! If you didn't do it, I would've knocked his lights out myself!
Jawo: Well, I think we're just about done here. Let's go, shall we?
Lilia: I hope Rachel's okay...
Jawo: I do too, Lilia.
*Jawo and Lilia leave Mike's house and heads back to the inn to meet up with the others*
(Author's Note: By the by, this isn't what I really think of Rachel's boyfriend. This was just for the sake of the story. I'm pretty sure Mike's a great guy. >_>)
*Later that night, the group is up in their room, getting ready to go to bed. All except Rachel, who is nowhere to be found*
Jawo: Hey, have any of you guys seen Rachel around?
Blue: Hmm, the last time I saw her, she was standing out on the terrace.
ILS: She looked pretty sad too. Just what happened over at Mike's anyway?
Lilia: It was awful. He wouldn't even listen to her. He just chewed her out piece by piece.
Jawo: Yeah, I could hardly stand to watch it. But I made sure to leave him with something he'll not soon forget.
Blue: Heh, good old Jawo.
Collin: Gee, if that's what really happened, she can't be feeling too good right now. I think somebody should go comfort her...
Jawo: I'll go.
Blue: Good luck, Jawo.
Jawo: Yeah...
*Jawo leaves the room and walks out to the terrace. There he finds Rachel standing alone, pondering the midnight sky*
Jawo: Hey.
Rachel: Hn? Oh..it's you, Jawo.
Jawo: Mind if I join you?
Rachel: No, not at all. Come on over.
*Jawo walks up to Rachel and stands beside her*
Jawo: Hey uhm...are you feeling alright?
Rachel: *sigh* No. Not really...
Jawo: Well cheer up! You don't need that guy!
Rachel: *sweatdrop* Wow, Jawo. You sure have a way with words.
Jawo: *rubs head* Sorry. What I mean to say is, you deserve much better than him. Nobody should ever treat their loved ones that way.
Rachel: But...he had a right to feel the way he did. I mean, I left him for 3 years and didn't bother to let him know I was even still alive. He's right for hating me...
Jawo: No! That's not true!
Rachel: What..?
Jawo: Yeah, you probably should have been more considerate, but still, at least you came back and tried to make amends. It's his fault for being so stubborn and thinking that his feelings are all that matters.
Rachel: Hmm, yeah. I guess you're right...
*Rachel takes the ring out and glances at it*
Jawo: Oh, I've been meaning to ask you, just what is that ring?
Rachel: It's an engagement ring...
Jawo: What..you mean...
Rachel: That's right. Before I left those 3 years ago, I asked Mike to marry me, and he gladly accepted. It was the happiest day of my life.
Jawo: No way...
Rachel: We agreed to have our ceremony the day I came back with the money. We were going to have a huge wedding with all the fixings, but...I guess that's never going to happen now.
Jawo: Hey, don't think like that. Sure, it may not be to Mike, but you can still have a huge wedding! There's plenty of other guys out there, you know.
Rachel: You know what? You're right, Jawo! You sure know how to cheer a girl up when she's down.
Jawo: Heh, I'm glad to hear it. ...You know, if I was your boyfriend, I'd always treat you right.
Rachel: I bet you'd make a great boyfriend to some lucky girl out there.
Jawo: Yeah, one can hope, can't they?
Rachel: They sure can.
*Jawo places his hand on Rachel's*
Rachel: Uh..?
*They both stare at eachother with a blank expression on their face*
Jawo: Uhm...
Rachel: Er...*gulps*
*The tension breaks when they both move in and have a long, passionate kiss. All the while, Blue, Lilia and ILS are watching the spectacle from afar*
Lilia: Aww! How cute!
Blue: Heh, it is kinda cute, isn't it?
ILS: Hmph, that should be me getting that big sloppy kiss.
Lilia: Hmm, say Blue...
Blue: What's up?
Lilia: Do you think we can kiss?
Blue: What!?
Lilia: I mean, just to see what it's like!
Blue: But Lilia...
Lilia: Oh just come here!!
*Lilia pulls Blue towards her and kiss him on the lips. Shortly after, they remove their faces from eachother*
Lilia: Whoa, that was cool! Now I see why people do it!
Blue: Lilia...*blushes*
ILS: Damnit! How come everybody has someone to kiss but me!?
*Collin runs in*
Collin: I'll kiss you, ILS sir! It'd be my pleasure! Mmmm...*pucker lips*
ILS: Uhm, thanks, but no thanks.
Collin: Aww...
*ILS takes out a **** mag and walks away*
Blue: Where are you going, ILS?
ILS: Eh, just to handle some business. Don't wait up.
Lilia: Weird...
*Meanwhile, Rachel and Jawo finally finish their kiss. They both blush and quickly turn away from eachother*
Jawo: That was...nice...
Rachel: Yeah..it was...
Jawo: ...So uhm...
Rachel: ...This never happened.
Jawo: Noted.
Rachel: It's pretty cold out here. Wanna go back inside?
Jawo: Sure. Uhm...mind if I hold your hand?
Rachel: *giggles* I'd be happy if you did.
Jawo: Alrighty!
*Jawo and Rachel hold hands as they walk back inside the inn. Upon arriving, they notice that Blue and the others were watching them the whole time*
Jawo: Huh!? Blue! Lilia! Collin!? What are you doing!?
*The three stumble about and fall over*
Blue: U-u-uhm!! N-nothing!
Collin: Y-yeah! That's right!
Lilia: We totally weren't spying on you or anything!
Blue/Collin: Lilia!!
Rachel: Hah, you guys...
Jawo: Hey wait, where's ILS? Out of everyone where, I'd expect him to be the most attentive.
Blue: *shrugs* Beats me. He said he needed to take care of some business*
*zip*
Lilia: What was that?
*ILS' voice can be heard from the distance*
ILS: *dreamily* Aaaaaaaaaah.....
Everyone: o_O
