The spirit took time to find Gabby.
Who is still busy putting on her outfit for the marriage of Anne and Kleo. Their animation heads who fell inlove with each other.
She looked at her watch and a hint of excitement flashed in her eyes.
Such a fine day to witness romance.
She wore a purple ballgown. And silver high heels. She also wore a pair of simple red earrings.
After putting on makeup and combing her hair to nice silky strands, she was done.
Gabby opened the door, Red was on the sofa, impatiently waiting for her to come out.
GABBY: What the hell, Red? You didn't even bother dressing up?
RED: I don't want to attract much attention.
GABBY: You'll attract much attention with wearing that! Just blue sleeves and brown jeans? Really?
RED: A wedding takes a lot of time. I don't want to feel uncomfortable. I'm wearing clothes not manufactured by my flare. And... I'm on human form. So my skin's endurance to the itchiness of fabric is not as strong.
GABBY: Okay okay, stop talking nerd. Let's just go out then.
RED: Your...outfit looks so huge...and heavy.
GABBY: Sorry. But this is the only purple dress I have. And the wedding theme is purple!
RED: Okay fine.
...
Perhaps many men had been attracted by Gabby's slightly exposed cleavage that they can't take their eyes of her.
It made Red feel irritated that he took her hand towards the rest room.
Tiwari couldn't help but notice it and smiles to herself. Gabby got a good man.
...
GABBY: Oi! It hurts!
RED: Oops! My bad! Uh...here, here.
Red uses his flare to make a purple dress, much lighter and fitting for her, without exposing her chest.
GABBY: Well...it's so sad that I have to adjust for the people to respect me.
RED: I know...if only I can punch them in the face right now.
GABBY: Thank you for the concern though.
RED: No problem.
Gabby and Red came back to their seats, with the odd eyed man clearly pissed about earlier.
Gabby noticed his furrowed brows, so she decided to playfully bump her.
GABBY: Enjoy the reception a bit. This garden is beautiful.
RED: Fine. But don't make me do that again. I hate feeling this way.
GABBY: Okay!
When eating, the two weren't able to dodge the banters of the newlyweds.
ANNE: Gabby Ann, you two are dating, right?
Gabby turned red and shyly nodded her head, Red on the other hand looks bored and uninterested.
ANNE: How did you meet?
That made Gabby's heart flutter in unexplainable rhythmn.
GABBY: I...I think Red would like to share that one.
Red almost choked his food upon hearing it. Is she serious?
ANNE: So mind telling us, then?
KLEO: Yeah, who knows? Maybe you two WOULD get married after a year or so.
Red's eyes were filled in horror after realizing that he hasn't formulated a believable story of their so called 'love' yet. He fake coughed then scratches his head for a bit, hoping an idea would come out.
RED: We met before...on a...a cosplay event too. She caught my attention, I asked her out. She said yes, but well...I had to move out unexpectedly the day after to arrange my family's funeral-
KLEO: Hold on? What?! So your family died?!
ANNE: Geesh, we're sorry.
The crowd turned awkwardly silent, but Red kept
going on.
RED: We didn't meet for a year. But I sometimes chat her. Then I came back here to find her. We clicked, and I convinced her to be my girl. Then yeah. We're a year dating now.
ANNE: You look so youthful for someone who's older than Gabby. You look 18. Like the first time we met. You didn't change at all.
Red smiles awkwardly, Gabby's already turning 20 next month, and her hair is reaching her shoulders now. He on the other hand, didn't change any features at all. He won't blame them if they feel suspicious.
RED: Well uh, it's just me. Baby face problems I guess?
The crowd laughs.
But Red felt extremely embarrassed. Gabby on the other hand is overwhelmed by the attention they're recieving.
...
Gabby after drinking a whole lot of fruit juice felt her self needing to go to the bathroom. She successfully did so, and was about to go out. Until she sees a tall man wearing a Red Cloak and a mask come to her view.
He asked in a raspy voice,
AKO MANTO: What do you prefer? Red or blue one?
He was holding the toilet papers in hand, and although she can't see his face, she somehow knew he was smiling.
Though unnerved and somehow already frightened, she decided to laugh it out.
GABBY: Who are you?
The man only lets out a cackle then asked again.
AKA MANTO: Red...or Blue?
GABBY: The tissue papers?
The entity felt a bit impatient, then irritably asked again.
AKA MANTO: Red or Blue?!
Gabby activates her eyes and saw that he was an entity indeed.
Her feet trembled in fear and she felt like falling.
She wanted to should Red's name, but the entity might minunderstood. Who knew what could that mean?
She felt like that the two options won't do her good. Like the famous slit mouthed woman of Japan. But even that legendary woman can be escaped. If you chose none of the options.
GABBY: I...uh, prefer white tissues?
She said, trying to sound sarcastic although evidently scared.
The entity looked irritated, somehow bothered that she wasn't able to answer his given options.
GABBY: I...I chose. What now?
The entity casted a portal, and then hastily dragged her to his hellish chamber. To keep here there forever.
Luckily, Red senses her distress signal rising and quickly hid on one of the nearby trees, to teleport to her location.
He managed to get a glimpse of his captor before he left with Gabby in his arms.
Red felt so furious.
His power surges in a manner that the ground slightly shook.
