After a while, the girls arrive in New York, at the hotel where they had booked for 3 nights with only 400$. It's a hotel near the location of the concert and after leaving the car in the hotel parking lot, they head towards the reception to check in.
"Good afternoon! I reserved a double room on the name Ayumi Matsuo." said Emma.
"We're sorry but there's no reservation under the name Mazzo." said the receptionist.
"Mazzo? MAZZO?! Look at her! Does she look Italian to you?!" burst Emma. "It's MATSUO! M-A-T-S-U-O!"
"I will check again! Oh yes, you are right... I'm very sorry for the confusion!" said the girl with a scared look on her face.
"Of course I'm right! You're giving me wrinkles... " pouted Emma.
"Of course you're getting wrinkles if you get mad over every little thing " said Qiqi.
"Haha... there goes Miss Smarty Pants again..." pouted Emma and Qiqi stuck her tongue out.
"I didn't know I brought the kindergarten with me..." said Ayumi sarcastically and they all started laughing.
"Were sorry for the outburst" said Jelly.
"It's alright, I'm the one who is sorry, it was my fault! If you have questions, or want something to order, you can call here, at the reception. You have the number displayed beside the telephone from your room. Please enjoy your stay!" the girl said smiling again.
"That smile of hers drive me crazy. I hate fake people with fake smiles, and fake personality! Damn it!" said Emma to herself.
*****
They stepped into the elevator, and pressed the 1 button.
"I can't believe we're taking the elevator for just one floor... We're wasting energy! Not to mention than climbing stairs would also keep us fit..." pouted Qiqi.
"Okay then from now on you'll take the stairs!" said Jelly.
"...."
"Hush you two!!! Geez..." said Ayumi. "Oh well... we're here" she continued as they reached room 103.
As they opened the door, the girls were stunned.
"Well... for 400$ and 3 nights, I'd say this is too much..." said Qiqi.
"You could say that again!" added Jelly. "Cable TV, mini-fridge and mini-bar?! Oh... it's empty... Oh my gosh... the beds are so comfy!!!!!" she said as she threw herself on one of the beds.
"Well? What do you think, Mi-chan?" asked Emma.
"Great job, as always!" replied Ayumi. "You're the best! Thank you!" she added as she kissed her cheek. "So the bar is empty, what about the fridge?"
"Hm... just a chocolate bar... that expired 2 months ago!!" said Qiqi. "I guess appearances can be deceiving..."
"Normal food for humans is downstairs if you guys wanna grab a bite!" said Emma as she counted the money for the tickets and what remained for the food and other expenses. "Well, we have enough for a decent dinner, but no fussing, and no caprices!"
"Yes Mommy!" replied Jelly.
"Let's go! I'm starving!" said Ayumi and they all headed downstairs.
Chapter 4 [Catfight part 2]
They enter the restaurant, sit at a table and order the menus. After a few minutes, Emma and Ayumi choose Greek salads and Qiqi chicken and fries.
"Oh..." pouted Jelly, "I want chicken and fries too!"
"Weren't you on a diet?" asked Qiqi.
"Yeah, but... but!! Oh don't glare at me like that... Fine... I'll have a Greek salad too..." said Jelly frowning.
While waiting for the food, they started scanning the place for a bit.
"Hey I like this place! The food looks good, the guys look better... look at that guy's toosh! Mmmm!" said Jelly with a devious smile, looking at the waiter carrying the tray with their dishes.
He smiled back, but apparently Jelly's devious eyes hypnotized him enough to make him trip and fall, spilling all the food on the floor... to top it all, some of the salad ended up on Jelly's head and clothes! The three girls couldn't breathe cause they were laughing so hard!
"I'm sorry, but we wanted our salads as main course, not as garnish for steak!" said Emma, still having trouble breathing from all the laughter.
"SHUT THE HELL UP!!" yelled Jelly.
The waiter got up and tried to clean Jelly, but he got pushed to the ground again.
"DON'T YOU DARE TOUCH ME, MONKEY FACE!!! It's your fault!! And it was a brand new shirt, too!!" she screamed as she picked away the tomatoes, cucumbers and pepperoni.
"I'm sorry, Miss! It's not my fault... I didn't mean to!" he stuttered.
"How can it NOT be your fault?! You tripped and fell all over the place! And here I was, thinking you were cool and good-looking... You're nothing but a loser!!"
"I'm sorry my mom gave birth to a loser! But have you looked in the mirror recently?! You're ugly!! You're more pathetic than me!" he replied.
"EXCUSE ME?! Is this the way you treat a customer?! Another human being?! If that's the case, I can recommend a good book to teach you manners, that is if you can read!! Better yet, why don't I give you a free ticket to the lunatic's house?! You freaking monkey! Let's go, ladies! This place is too crowded!" said Jelly, way past her boiling point.
"Um... we're sorry, Jelly, but we really are hungry... You can go upstairs if you want. We'll bring you some food.. Would a cucumber slice do?" said Qiqi with a wicked look, as she picked one off Jelly.
"Argh! Fine! But I want someone else to serve us, not this monkey face!!" she said as she stuck her tongue out at the guy.
"Well if you don't want a monkey face serving you, I'm sure they have a donkey face around here!" said Ayumi with a smile.
"Ladies, I am terribly sorry for what has happened. He is new here, please understand! We'll bring you your orders and clean up the mess meanwhile" said the manager. "Would you like something to drink? It's on the house! A bottle of red wine, perhaps? Would 1975 be a good year?"
"Oh no... we don't drink alcohol.." said Emma with a forced smile.
"Oh come on now, Em! The gentleman here is only trying to be nice and compensate for the trouble. We're all adults here, and a bit of wine will not cause problems" said Jelly with a wide grin, as she looked at the man standing right next to her, looking even hotter than the waiter. *Yeah there's something about men in suits...* thought Jelly.
"IF YOU'RE AN ADULT START ACTING LIKE ONE! I'm gonna kill you someday!! Remember what happened the last time you had alcohol? What you turned into?!" said Emma pissed, but still with an evil smirk on her face.
"Eh?? Oh no... you had to remind me... I don't want to think about it! You devil... You MADE me drink it!! Baka!!" yelled Jelly. "Anyway, I'm older now, and I can hold my liquor!" she pouted.
"Um... about the wine...?" said the manager, with his face turning pale, and almost trembling.
"SHUT UP!! Can't you see I'm talking to her?! You idiot, I only offered the drink, I didn't hold a gun to our head! Don't blame me for your mistakes!!!" Emma shouted angrily, because she didn't want to be blamed for something she hadn't done.
"Emma!! This is not talking, this is screaming and straight out fighting!! We're not in a jungle, for crying out loud! We're in a restaurant, can't you two behave?! Look who's talking about learning good manners..." pouted Ayumi. "We would be happy to have some wine, if you don't mind, and we're sorry for all this commotion!" she addressed the manager. "I'll make sure they're sedated next time we go out to eat..." she added calmly.
"Yay! Wine!" clapped Jelly.
"No wine for you, missy! And no wine for Emma either!" said Qiqi.
"Qi-chan!!!" yelled Emma & Jelly in one voice.
"Serves you right!!" replied Ayumi.
"Oh I'm gonna get you, Qi-chan!! I hate you two!!" said Emma as she leaned across the table to grab Qiqi, but Ayumi stopped her with her arm. "Yes, we love you too, Emma! And we love Jelly too... now SIT DOWN and enjoy your meals as two civilized people or I solemnly swear you two will sleep with empty stomachs!!" she added in an upset tone. "Geez!! Can this trip get any worse?!"
Chapter 5 [BFF]
After a quiet dinner, they got up and headed upstairs. Although everything had been settled, everyone was still upset..
“Emma please stop, and calm down! Don’t make me sad and don’t ruin my trip with your childish and overreacted personality. OH!” Ayumi said upset.
“Um, I have to say you were a little harsh with her, and you know she’s right every time she says something.. And she’s right about me too.. I just remembered that I drank the wine of my on will” said Jelly.
“Hey… don’t worry.. she’ll be alright! She just needs to cool off!” smiled Qiqi, trying to comfort her. “She knows how much you care about her and that you didn’t intend to hurt her; We will go and take a walk and let the 2 of you to discuss.” Qiqi said, taking Jelly with her, and closind the door after them.
Emma didn’t say anything, but from her eyes tears were coming out, unable to be stopped. When Ayumi saw Emma, she realized what she said and walked towards Emma who was on the bed with her eyes in the floor. Emma loves Ayumi so much, and every word from Ayumi’s mouth has a bigger impact on Emma than anyone else’s.
“Omg! What have I done? What have I said?” Ayumi said with her left hand over her mouth, unable to do anything. She took her whole courage and sat beside her.
"Nee~Em-chan, gomen ne; I didn’t want to say that… It slipped my mouth.” said Ayumi trying to touch Emma’s hand...
“Don’t touch me! You know what? I’ve had enough! You were always the princess and I the servant behind your shadow! You were loved in kindergarten, in elementary school, in middle school by everyone. I was hated by all of them because I was your friend! They told me one day „How dare you to stay by her side? Just look at you! You’re ugly, you’re like a boy; you don’t deserve her! She’s to good for you” Do you know how awful I felt? But I ignored them for your sake. I stayed by your side every time… I saved you from almost everything. I even took your punishment upon me so that you can be safe… I love you Ayumi! and... and... “ she said with her whole heart, the tears rolling on her face..
“Em.. I’m sorry… I haven’t thought about that; you’re right! You did protect me from everything that was evil and dangerous; I’m grateful for that, but your actions are more and more aggressive; you have to chill down” she said with a weak voice, also crying.
“WTF? You never showed me some true love… We’ve friends since kindergarten for God’s sake. You treated me just like any other people. You were out with some other girls, and I was behind you like a guardian… You never saw me like a girl. You always saw me like a boy, like your guardian… uh never mind; you wouldn’t understand” said Emma walking towards the door.
“Hey wait.. I’m not done talking!” she yelled from behind her.
Emma was at the door when someone opened it, hitting her forehead directly with the door.
“OUCH! WTF?” she said rubbing her forehead with her hand and raising her eyes towards the door. “Who are you? And what do you want?” she asked again getting up from the floor with her forehead red.
“Don’t move you bastard!!” said the man pointing a gun at her.
“Bastard? Who are you calling bastard you fucking crazy old man?” she replied angrily.
“Crazy old man?! I’m going to kill you boy! Don’t underestimate me!” said the man continuing to point the gun at Emma.
“BOOOOOYYY??? You freaking monkey! I’m a girl man!” she yelled at him.
“You don’t look like a girl at all” he smirked. “You there! Come here or I’ll shoot your boyfriend!”
“Uhhhh! I’m not a boy! You’re not going anywhere!” she said pulling Ayumi to her side.
“Don’t make me shoot you boy! Give me this beautiful girl; she’s too good for you” he said and took Ayumi’s arm and dragged her in the hallway.
“Em.. Em..EMMM!!!” she yelled but her voice was weaker and weaker.
“Boy? She’s too good for you? WTF?! EH?! Ayumi? AYUMI!!!”she yelled after her.
“OMG! Were are they? I’ve lost them; I have to save her, but where did they go? Ah a woman, maybe she saw them’ she thought while running towards the only person in the hallway.
“Excuse me.. have you seen 2 people? A girl and a guy with a gun?” she asked so worried about her friend…
“Um.. I saw someone.. Try in the basement; in this hotel sometimes appear thieves; they pick their prays and then they go into the basement” the lady said, scaring Emma to death.
“Are you joking?!” she cried, and ran to the basement, hitting a few people on her way there. She reached the last level, and walked between the boxes, in the dark. A few meters ahead, a little light appeared. She ran to that place, and saw the man and Ayumi who was sitting on chair, all tied up.
“Ok, old man.. Let her go, or I’ll call the police…” she said with a calm voice, because she understood that with a violent tone wouldn’t solve things.
“Oh you again? You really are persistent, aren’t you?” the man responded, smiling and acting like a smart ass…
“Yeah me again, and soon I’m going to be your worst nightmare” she said smirking; she loved the places were the light was dim.
The opponent couldn’t see her true self. She was like a shadow… Yeah she had been a shadow all her life... Walking behind one or another’s back; she never tried to be herself, or tried to take the things with dignity. But today, she won’t be the same. She will change, and became a new person, someone everyone could see. Emma is good at fighting in dark; she can see much better in the dark than anyone else. How is that possible? Nobody knows… It’s a secret!
She took a piece of wood and hit the lamp, destroying it.
“Well, well, let’s see what you can do in the dark! You can’t see me…” she said with a devious voice.
In a few seconds she was beside Ayumi, untying the rope, and took Ayumi’s hand and told her to run away.
“But Em, what are you going to do? You’ll get hurt!” Ayumi said a little concerned.
“Eh.. don’t worry.. I’m good at this, aren’t I? Trust me! Now go!” she said smirking.
“Uh.. yeah you are! Good luck! I’m going to call the police, so don’t kill him” she said a little happier, and kissed Emma’s right cheek, making her jolt.
“Oh.. I won’t kill him.. It’s not my style.”
So Ayumi ran upstairs calling the police on her way, while Emma was fighting with the man. Ayumi heard a gun shot and got scared. Luckily, the other 2 girls found her, taking her to the reception to report the incident.
After a while, the police was there, trying to calm down the girls who were so worried about Em. But Em appeared after a few minutes, with her arm hurt.
“Ahh Em!!!” the 3 of them yelled.
“Are you ok?!” Jelly asked.
“Yeah I’m fine.. just a scratch but I’ll be fine!” she respond and the 3 sighed in relief.
“Em.. I’m sorry.. I’m so sorry!” Ayumi said starting to cry.
“Oi.. don’t cry! You’re a big girl.. Big girls don’t cry!” said Emma.
“Ah you said it! Just like Fergie’s song!” Qiqi said smiling. “Careful, you might get sued for copyright infringement!”
“Yeah Qiqi, just like that song.. You’re funny you know that?” Em said laughing.
“Em, I promise you I’ll be your best friend forever, and I’ll show you my love.. You’re the sister that I always wanted, but never had!” Ayumi said hugging Emma.
“And you two as well! I love you too! You’re my other 2 sisters” she said again, seeing their faces.
“Aish!!! Enough with the cheesiness already!!” pouted Jelly and they started laughing.
