Reunited by Fate

It had been quite a while since Sindel had left the AFW, leaving only a note for the person she had trained and had grown feelings to, stating that she was needed at home for an emergency. That was months ago. Sindel had not forgotten about her though, rather, she was the first one she called to come pick her up. While Sindel was back in her home land, she had left her manor to be fumigated and repaired from all sorts of trouble but it still was not fixed and she needed a place to stay.

After such a while, she wondered if Lucy would actually show up, she had wanted to talk to her in person about this, but everything happened so fast and she had hoped that Lucy could atleast understand from the letter that Sindel had no choice. She had become a bit more self centered though, the white haired girl stepping out of the plane and right off the bat, came the trouble.

" Watch where you're going! " She snapped at an old lady who in her eyes, bumped into her on purpose just to get out sooner. She headed for the luggage area to pick up a large bag, pulling it over her shoulder and heading for the exit. She wondered if Lucy was standing there, her heart actually pounding already. Sindel had gone through some changes since her old outfit was not accepted within her strict country and was given more appropiate ones, though she found the overly large white ribbon that was stuck in her hair, to be quite an annoyance when it was windy.

She headed down the exit hallway, being one of the last since she had trouble finding that stupid bag but atleast being rid of the mass that was trying to get out. She was nearing the end of the hallway, soon stepping outside and beginning to look around to find that one familiar face.. Hoping she was here..

Lucy stood out there by her car, the black 1967 Chevrolet Impala, she stood leaning against the side of the car checking her watch....it was starting to get a bit late from the time when Sindel was going to arrive. Lucy began to wonder if Sindel was going to show up at all, it was starting to gnaw at her, she didn't know why she had come here even....at the time when she needed her teacher and mentor the most...she had vanished and now it even looked as if she wasn't going to show up.

Lucy was biting her lower lips as she looked around trying to find her teacher, she gripped her green sweeter tightly and kept trying to think and hope that Sindel had actually come back, but somehow it seemed as that wasn't the case. Lucy took up her phone that she had received from Alarice as a Christmas present, and began to look around to see if she had gotten any new messages..... There was nothing.

Finally as Lucy decided to just leave, she looked up and saw a familiar figure come out of the airport...Lucy quickly moved up, pushing past the crowds and as she came in closer she would glomp Sindel. " Sindel!"

Sindel saw the little redhead coming, she barely had enough time to drop her bag and catch Lucy with open arms, pulling her into a tight hug and nuzzling her cheek with much affection. " Ah, Lucy! I'm so glad you came! " She would hug Lucy a bit tightly, not wanting to remove herself from this hug but after a full minute of just holding eachother, Sindel would reluctantly withdraw enough to look into Lucy's eyes. " Sorry I'm late, lot'sa airline traffic, bag was missing and people being intolerant! You look great though! "

She would examine Lucy's body, then being as teasing as she was in the past, would ruffle lucy's hair as if she was a little puppy. " Missed me? "

Lucy would laugh a bit as Sindel nuzzled her face in the close hug, and she would keep it going up until the point when Sindel withdrew and looked at her. " Of course I came! You're my teacher after all!" Lucy shouted out at Sindel, sounding a bit mad that her teacher seemed to think that she wouldn't have come to pick her up when asked to do so. " It's alright....you had me worried there for a second, But you came !" Lucy said as she looked closely on her teachers face.

Before she was lowered a bit and pouted when Sindel began to ruffled her hair. Lucy would move her hand quickly and attempt to catch Sindel in the ribs with a hard right. " OFF COURSE I DID !" Lucy would shout out as she then went in to hug Sindel tightly. Almost as if she didn't ever want to let go of her.

Sindel would snicker at the sight of the pouting Lucy, she was always so cute that she just couldn't stop teasing her. It was best to do so when she was given a hard jab to her ribs, causing Sindel to press into Lucy wih a soft yelp coming from her, but quickly disregarded it as a love jab when Lucy hugged her tightly again, kissing the top of Lucy's head and whispers softly. " I'll never leave you again.. I promise. "

She could stay like this for hours, though their peace and love was interrupted by Sindel's growling stomach, who immidiately blushed as bright as a christmas light. " Aah.. Sorry! "

Lucy felt to soft kiss of Sindel's on the top of her head and would let out a little laugh, " You better not." she responded to Sindel as she then would keep holding Sindel, tighter and tighter each second that passed, before she would say. " You changed your look a bit...could help to do the same as your number one student could you ?".

Lucy then heard Sindel's stomach growl and she let go of her teacher and stepped back a few steps, looking Sindel up and down. Lucy would let out a sigh before she would move up and pat Sindel on her head. " Let's go eat Sindel-sensei."

" Hmph! ' She would quickly say, puffing out her cheeks though being oblivious of her own actions. " I had to change my look because of my parents because they said that it was not fitting for me to dress like I used to. " She then rubbed her own stomach, feeling th pat on her head and quickly took Lucy's hands with er own. " Hey! I am allowed to do that to YOU! "

Then she tged on Lucy's hand and started to drag her along to one of the large restaurants within the airport. " Let's go! There was a restaurant here I want to try out. " And soon they stood infront of a very fancy restaurant, tugging Lucy along and entering with her, heading for the waiter. " Hello there, I want a table for two. " The man blinked and nodded, writing it down as a joke. " And what do the little girl-- " " Oh no you don't. My name is Sindel Alaira, you WILL give me a table for two! " The man suddenly panicked and really wrote it down and shouted. " Give these ladies the most fanciests tables we got! Go Go! " Two more people brought Sindel and Lucy to a large table with a couch around half of the table, taking a seat and yelling out. " I want a large bowl of ramen for two! With everything on it! " The two waiters quickly ran to the kitchen for their order.

Lucy pouted a bit as Sindel said that she was the one allowed to pat Lucy's head, but apparently Lucy wasn't allowed to do that to Sindel. Which was something that caused Lucy to glare up a bit at Sindel, Lucy then felt how Sindel took a hold of her hand and began to pull and drag her away. " Aaah! H-hey!...wait!" Lucy shouted out as she tired to get Sindel to stop....but there was no stopping her teacher when she wanted food.

" Ah...okay then." Lucy said as she was then pulled along to a fancy restaurant within the airport. Lucy was then greeted to a showing of the waiter treating them as little children, It was something that Lucy had gotten used to these kind of things by now, but Sindel almost snapped at the poor waiter, Lucy looked on at her teacher as she demanded food and a place to sit, getting them the nicest place in the restaurant and also getting them two bowls of ramen.

Lucy would tug on Sindel's bow a bit, just to annoy her and to get her teacher attention. " When did I say I wanted Ramen ? "Lucy asked as she looked on at Sindel with questioning eyes.

Sindel licked her lips as that large bowl came infront of her, getting ready to devour the poor food when she was being tugged upon her rather large bow, instantly making Sindel blush brightly and stare at Lucy with dangerous eyes! " H-Hey you can just say my name y'know! And you're going to eat it whether you like it or not! It's been ages since I last ate this! " She then grabbed the chopsticks from the side of the bowl and stabbed at the bowl, snatching a few and taking it into her mouth, slurping it further into it while her chopsticks stroked along the length of the strings, making sure to wipe off the liquid that coated it so it wouldn't fly all over the place when it would reach her mouth.

Lucy would glare back at Sindel with equally dangerous eyes, keeping a good glare between the two as Lucy would scoff and say " Just cause you wanted to eat it doesn't mean I did." Lucy said as she then would tug a bit more on Sindel's big ribbon before turning to her food, and would then grab her chopsticks and start eating, shoveling the food into her mouth like crazy, and before more than 3 minutes had passed, Lucy would be done with the nuddles and would just be drinking out of the bowl.

When she was done with that, she would slam the bowl down and yell out from the top of her lungs. " SECONDS!" Towards the entire stuff.
