Fanfic: "So.... I was ditched." Lisa sighed. "Why do I even try and give myself some hope?" 
 
'But it could be that something happened. An emergency, possibly.' a part of her whispered in her head. 'Maybe I should investigate. I'll go to the base.' 
 
As she walked down each block, she entered a district that was open twenty-four hours a day. She came across a technology shop, and displayed televisions stood behind its glass window. Then, she saw a scene that tore her heart apart into tiny pieces. It was a picture of Rick in a tuxedo.... and Minmay holding onto his arm! Headlines on the screen read: "Lynn Minmay was found with a mysterious and unnamed man this afternoon...." She couldn't read anymore. She ran, not knowing--or caring--where she was going. She just wanted to get away. 
 
..... 
 
 
As Lisa dashed to no particular direction, she bumped into a blond haired, dark blue eyed man. "Are you okay, Ma'am?" he asked, looking sincerely worried. 
 
"Y...Yeah... I'm fine." she barely articulated. 
 
"Do you need some help? Need to go to the hospital or anywhere else?" 
 
"No. I'm fine." 
 
"It doesn't seem so Ma'am." 
 
"Why? Do I look like I'm a mess?" 
 
Before he could reply, tears streamed down her delicate cheeks. "You're right. I am a mess." 
 
The unnamed guy smiled sympathetically. "Wanna know what helps during sad times?" 
 
"What?" 
 
"Ice cream. A big scoop– or two– of delicious ice cream. Come on, I'll treat you to some." 
 
"Uhmm..." 
 
"Don't worry about it. I won't hurt you or anything. I think you've been hurt enough, actually." 
 
Lisa thought about it. He seemed like a good, honest man. What had she got to lose anyway? It's just ice cream, after all. "Uhhmm.. sure... I guess." she replied, giving in. 
 
"Cool. It's actually just three doors down from here. Let's go." he told her, leading the way. 
 
They came into an ice cream shop, where the colors of the different flavors and the varying kinds of toppings painted a wonderful ice cream paradise picture. Lisa couldn't help but smile as the small child inside of her awakened. 
 
"What can I get for you?" an employee asked. 
 
The man looked at her, and motioned for her to reply. "Strawberry ice cream." 
 
"Add that with rainbow sprinkles." he continued with a smile. "And an Oreo ice cream for me with chocolate and caramel syrup." 
 
When they got their orders, which he insisted on paying for, she couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that too sweet?" 
 
"Well.. Oreo's the only flavor I haven't tried, and I can't choose between chocolate and caramel syrup, so I picked both." 
 
She laughed. 
 
"See, ice cream's helping already." 
 
Smiling, she replied, "Thanks. I really appreciate it. But I think I should probably go now. It's so late already." 
 
"No problem. And cheer up. A woman like you should not be crying like that. Bye." 
 
"Bye." 
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
When Lisa woke up, she sighed. "How many more sighs must I sigh for Rick Hunter?" she wondered. But she was just so immensely in love with him. 
 
She later gave in and decided to get ready for work. 
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
Rick Hunter woke up from his not-so-peaceful slumber. 'I better call Lisa,' he reminded himself. 'But she'll be in the base, so I'll just go talk to her there.' 
 
What was wrong with Minmay yesterday? She had gone berserk. He remembered.... 
 
"Hey, Rick. it's me, Minmay." 
 
"Oh, hey Minmay." 
 
"Hey, Rick you think we could go meet today?" 
 
"Uhhmmm.. I actually have some plans. Sorry." 
 
"Oh, please, Rick?" 
 
"I'm sorry Minmay. But it's really important." 
 
"Are you meeting with a friend?"  
 
"Yeah. Something like that." And Rick smiled, as he thought that maybe after today, he and Lisa will be more than 'friends.' 
 
"Okay then. Bye." 
 
"Bye, Minmay." 
 
With that, he hung up and got ready. He wore his tuxedo, determined to charm Lisa. He got out of his door, and saw Minmay.  
 
"Rick!" she shouted. "I'm so glad I wasn't too late!" 
 
He couldn't reply. 
 
"Now we can go have lunch together." 
 
"Minmay, didn't I just tell you that I was meeting with someone today?" 
 
"But, Rick, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." 
 
"I know that. And I don't think it was my fault. You've been busy with your stardom." 
 
"Oh, stardom, stardom, stardom!" she suddenly yelled. "I'm so tired of it. To h*ll with it!" 
 
This was the first time he heard her talk like that. "Minmay, are you okay?" 
 
"Of course, I'm okay! What could be my problem!? I'm perfectly fine. I just need you to come with me, Rick." 
 
"I can't, Minmay." 
 
"Rick, you have to! PLEASE! If you don't I might just kill myself." 
 
"Minmay, don't talk like that!" 
 
"Oh, yes. I will die! He left me, Rick! Kyle left me! I need him! I need him badly, Rick! Badly. And I need you to help me. Make him jealous so he'll come back to me! Please, Rick!" 
 
"Okay, Minmay. I'll help you." Then, he thought, 'But not in the way you want. You're not okay, Minmay. I think I should bring you to the hospital.' 
 
"Yes! Thanks Rick." she replied, taking his arm. 
 
"Do you know where he is?" he asked. 
 
"No, not really. But I think I could call him." 
 
"If we're gonna make this plan work, I think it would be better if we surprised him." 
 
"You're right, Rick! But how will we find out?" 
 
"I think I know where he is." 
 
"Really? Okay then!" 
 
Rick wondered how she never once asked how he 'knew.' But he worried for his friend, and now former love, and so he brought her to the hospital. 
 
"Rick, why are we in the hospital? Is Kyle ill!? What happened!?" 
 
He ignored her and spoke to a nurse. "I don't know what's wrong with her, Miss. She just started to talk like she's crazy. She--" 
 
"I'M NOT CRAZY!" Minmay screamed. She tried to let go, but he held on to her hand tightly. She violently scraped and dug her polished nails on his arm. He winced at the pain and saw blood, but he didn't release her. 
 
"Sir, are you okay?" the shocked nurse asked. 
 
"I'm fine. Just take her. And please, I’m begging you. I don't want to ruin her. Keep everything a secret." 
 
"Of course, sir." 
 
"I'll be back tomorrow. I've got to go somewhere." 
 
He realized the blood had stained his tuxedo. He returned home to change, not wanting to have to tell Lisa about the disturbing event. Just when he was about to get out of the door, his phone rang. 
 
"This is Rick Hunter." 
 
"Captain, you're needed in the base. Zentradi rebellions are attacking." 
 
"I'll be right there."  
 
He rushed to the base while he thought, 'They must be trying to steal the protoculture again. Oh, no, Lisa! I'm so sorry!' But he knew Lisa. He knew she would want him to fight and protect first. 
 
When he got home that night, Rick was so tired he just fell on his bed with his flight suit still on. 
 
"I'll talk to Lisa first and then see how Minmay's doing after work." he told himself. 
 
 
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 
 
"Hey! Lisa!" he called. 
 
Lisa walked faster. 
 
"Lisa, wait!" He soon caught up with her. "Lisa, talk to me. I know you're angry, but–" 
 
"It's Captain Hayes." 
 
He ignored her. "I have got to talk to you, Lisa! Look, I'm sorry I didn't show up. I had reasons. First there was Minmay and–" 
 
"Minmay? Oh, that’s just great Rick, isn’t it? I apologize, Captain Hunter, for misunderstanding." 
 
"No, Lisa, you don't understand. You’re misinterpreting everything!" 
 
"No, Captain. I understand perfectly." she replied in such a calm tone that it made him nervous. 
 
"Wait, Lisa!" 
 
"No, Rick! I've had enough!" 
 
He held on to her wrist. "Listen, please! I–" 
 
"Captains." It was Admiral Gloval's voice. 
 
"Admiral." the two simultaneously replied in a saluting position. 
 
"At ease. Are you two well?" 
 
Lisa blushed. "We're fine, Admiral." 
 
"Alright then, I would like to speak to the two of you. Come into my office." 
 
"Yes, sir." 
 
When they arrived inside, the door shut and Gloval immediately began to speak. "It has come to my attention that a new Zentradi has been sent here." 
 
"A new Zentradi, sir?" 
 
"Yes. Breetai has informed that he's a well respected, and extremely skilled Zentradi. He will be able to help us with the recent rebellions and Khyron. We must meet him today. Prepare and meet later in the conference room." 
 
"Yes, sir. We'll be there." 
 
When they got out of his office, Rick tried to explain everything to her again. 
 
She interrupted him with a sigh. "Maybe after duty, ok Rick?" 
 
He sighed in frustration too. "Fine." 
 
Later that day... 
 
Lisa walked professionally to the conference room in her ceremonial military dress. 'Time to meet this Julstran. I sure hope he's cooperative.' 
 
She sat down and saw Rick. And while her heart raced faster and faster, she couldn't help but sigh. Rick, unaware of her internal frustration, sat right next to her. He gave her a slight smile, but she avoided his gaze. 
 
All the other high officials came in, including the micronized Breetai, Exedore, Gloval, and Maistroff. Max, Miriya, and Claudia were present as well. 
 
Soon, Breetai spoke up. "Greetings, everyone. Let us begin. I would like to introduce you all to General Vohn Julstran." Everyone stood and saluted to welcome the special guest. 
 
Then, as everyone saw him, Rick heard Lisa gasp. When he looked at her with concern, he saw her eyes widen and her mouth open slightly. 
 
End of chapter.
