Chapter 36: Temporary Peace "MapleStory to Artemis...... Hellooo, wake up." Alexis's voice sounded from far away. I hastily looked around. "What happened to you? You just kept blushing and sighing." Alexis stared at me. "What...? Was I?" I scratched my head. Oh yeah, Roy had driven me home a while ago. "I passed the interview by the way." Alexis smiled. "Congrats." I gave her the thumbs up. "I think I'm gonna head up and have a rest. It's been a hectic day." I lied. Alexis nodded and I quickly ran up to our bedroom. "What's going on inside me? Am I...... in love...?" I asked myself, confused. All the times I kept blushing when I was around Ikki... Am I really a girl again? I stared at my own hands. They were smooth and soft from the effects of the Sexifier. "I guess I'm destined to be a girl, the way things keep turning out, so might as well make a good one." those words echoed around inside my head. I got up from the bed and went to the bathroom. Checking the mirror again, I noticed I looked more like a girl in ways I didn't know how to explain. I ran a finger through my leg-length black hair and pulled a few strands to the front of my eyes. I made a mental note to dress as well as I could tomorrow. For Ikki. When I walked down for dinner that evening, Mei Ling was injecting something into Lacus. "Oh, hi there. I found a way to shrink her hips and chest." she waved at me and Lacus gave a yell of pain; Mei Ling had accidentally pressed the syringe in too far. "Oh man... Sorry." she hurriedly apologized. Just before I went to the dining room, I booted up my laptop and checked the MapleNet website for Ikki's info. Ikfarion - Level 119 Ranger I gasped. He was just one level away from getting his 4th job! Roy looked over my shoulder and saw what I was looking at. "Gonna go snog this guy now? Good luck." he winked at me and walked into the dining room. I stared at his back for a few seconds, then powered down the laptop. Dinner that night consisted of seaweed, chicken nuggets, "Hong Kong Kailan" as Mei Ling called it and a few more, including rice. I tucked in ravenously, but Alexis just picked at her food. "Something wrong?" Mei Ling asked. "It's just...... I don't know what they'll get me to wear during my job...... What should I do if the clothes are revealing, like a swimsuit or something?" she stared at her food blankly. Mei Ling and Roy looked at each other, and for a split second, I caught their cheeks turning slightly red. "Hoho, would you look at that." the Dark Dragon smirked. "Dunno." both of them said simultaneously, and their blushes became slightly more visible. Lopez was eyeing them curiously. Lacus had her dinner taken up to her by Mei Ling because her body still hadn't recovered completely yet. I brushed and rinsed my teeth, then flopped onto the bed and pulled the blanket over me. Alexis followed suit and accidentally hit my butt with her foot when she jumped on, knocking me down onto the floor. I swore briefly, then got back on, ignoring a hurriedly apologizing Alexis. "Wake up, sleepyhead. You need to go to work." Alexis shook me awake the next morning, smiling. I jumped to my feet and ran into the bathroom purposefully to brush my teeth. "You don't normally do this every morning." she eyed me curiously as I flung open the wardrobe. I flicked through the enormous selection of blouses and picked a blue one with a V-shaped neck. Then, I selected a matching dark blue skirt that fell to my knees. "I just wanna look my best for someone today." I explained, strapping my watch to my wrist. "New boyfriend? So you're really a girl now. Well, enjoy your life." the Siren quipped. I stared at Alexis. Lacus's body had returned to normal, for she was back in her Dark Requirre. She spared us a meek glance and returned to her task of laying the table. "Think we should throw it away?" Mei Ling was juggling the Sexifier. "Careful. It'll fall...... on you." she had promptly dropped the Sexifier, this time, on her head. "No worries, I disabled it." she removed it without pressing the button. I heaved a sigh of relief. |
