Part III - Burning meteorite
"She could bring you out of mundane like a burning meteorite will carry you to a world full of exciting"
Eternal Sunshine of a Spotless Mind
The Saturday of that weekend Mini spent at the farm, she called Alo to sit with her and watch TV after supper. Eternal Sunshine would stream and it's her favorite movie. She kept saying her favorite movies were Dreamgirls and Mean Girls, but the one she really, really loves is Eternal Sunshine.
"I never really understood this movie." Alo said, after the first block. Mini answered like it was that simple.
"It's all about love in its rawness. We have those two people who are so different from each other but have so much love… so many feelings. They live this crazy relationship like a roller coaster and, at some point, the fall is too deep. But you know what? It doesn't matter - the falls. You might have no memories at all about the person; the feels will always bring them together."

"FRANKY! YOU HAVE VISITORS!" Jeff shouted.
"COME UP, THEN!" She shouted back, but Mini already was at her door. "Oh, hi! How are you, Mins?"
Mini smiled, taking a look at the room. Franky was doing a big mockup for arts class or something, and it looked genius.
"You'll need to find a spot to sit; this place is a mess right now."
"I see." She said with a little laugh and jumped off the things in the ground to sit in Franky's bed.
"Are you feeling better?"
"Yes. There's nothing like a hot bath and a good night of sleep with no dreams." It cough Franky's attention - the way Mini said that - and she actually looked at her friend.
"Are you really alright, Mini? I mean, for real."
Mini focused the ink in Franky's hands and sighed, before look into her eyes. She bit her lower lip. "I need to tell you something."
"Please tell me it's not cancer."
"What? No! Not cancer." They laughed.
"I'm relieved." Franky replied, but got serious after that. "It's fucking important, isn't it?" Mini nodded. It took three tries for her to speak it out loud.
"I'm pregnant."
There was a really long moment of silence, as if the word was settling down between them, until Franky understand what Mini just said.
"WHAT? I mean… WHAT? Who's the father? I mean, I had no clue you were with someone!"
"Ok, that's the tricky part." She needed another few tries to say the next. "It's Alo's."
This time, Franky was quicker. "WHAT?"
"Yea, judge me."
"No, wait! Since when are you two together?"
"Oh my God, it just gets more and more embarrassing. Ok. Morocco. Since Morocco. Only Rich knows."
Franky's jaw had dropped. "Holy shit! Why did you keep it secret?"
"Because… of reasons! I don't really know, actually. It wasn't to be something when it started, just friends with benefits, but…"
"You fancy him, don't you?"
Mini shrugged. "I do."
"It's that why you fight that day? He doesn't want the kid? Or…?"
"No. He doesn't know yet. His mother does, though. She was the first one to say I'm pregnant. She said with sparkling eyes 'You are on child, kiddo. Stop denying.'"
"When?"
"A month ago, that weekend on the farm. I still don't know why she was so happy, she's gonna be a granny."
"And how does it feel? Having a baby growing inside you?"
Mini had to think a few seconds. "I don't know. I have this HORRIBLE morning sickness and stuff, but it's truly like… I feel everything… and anything. I don't quite know what to do, I still can't believe yet. I'm lost and not sure if I can do this alone."
Franky nodded, giving her time before her next question.
"Mini… how much pregnant you are?"
"Almost three months."
"Time is running out, huh? What you gonna do?"
"I don't really know. I feel… empty without him. I need him first."
"Well… Get him back, then!"
"But I fucked everything up, Franks! He'd never want me back!"
"You think so?" Mini nodded. "I don't. It's so clear how miserable he is, I just didn't know why. Now I do."
"Really?"
"Yes. You need to do something fast, you know? You're getting more pregnant by the minute."
Mini laughed, the tension gone. She almost forgot how good it is to talk to Franky."
"You want me to help?" she said, and Mini thought for a second.
"Not yet. I have to start to figure out what to do by myself."
"I'll be here if you need me. Just call."
"I know. Thanks."
-X-
After what Franky said, Mini started to notice the little things. How Alo wasn't so smiley anymore, the way he always tried to keep away from Poppy's hands. She drunk her milkshake, considering if she should do what she wanted to when Rider sat by her side.
"Hey McGuinness." He said with what he thinks it's a charming tone. "Should I say you look stunning today?"
"Please, Rider, I'm always stunning."
"Yea, yea. I'm gonna agree like I hadn't saw you all sweat and smelling like muff in Morocco."
"And I'm going to pretend you're not here trying to annoy me like always."
"Ouch." He replied, but Mini was busy watching Alo and Poppy's dynamics. They stayed in silence for a moment.
"Rider…" Mini started again, in a softer tone and looked at him. "I'm a good puncher, ain't I?"
Rider touched his chin. "Yea, you are."
"Right. Thanks." She said, getting up.
"You're welcome." He shouted to her back.
She was walking straight to Poppy, taking off her right hand's rings before pock her in the shoulder.
"Oh, hi Mini." Poppy said with an acid smile.
"Get away from him." She said clearly.
"What?"
"Get. The fuck. Away. From. My. Man. Right now."
"Mini…?" Alo started confused and Poppy stepped ahead.
"Or what?" she asked petulant. Mini smiled; her hand in fist.
"I'm gonna count, and you gonna leave."
"Or what?"
"Three… Two…"
"What you think you g…" Poppy's line was cut by Mini's fist in her nose, making her fall in her arse.
"I SAID GET THE FUCK OFF RIGHT NOW!"
"YOU PUNCHED ME, YOUR PSYCHO!"
"RIGHT NOW, POPPY! GET THE FUCK AWAY!"
"MINI!" Alo yelled, turning her to look at him. "What the fuck?"
She stopped, taking a few deep breaths and just looking at him. How she missed it - to see his ginger hair so close, his green eyes… she smiled, ignoring the crowd in the refectory.
"I fucking love you."
Alo's expression softened and he smiled, stepping toward her.
"I tried not to, but…"
"You can't resist me." He completed and she giggled.
"I can't." she said low, biting her lip and holding his shirt.
"Good. 'Cuz I love you too."
A loud "Oh my God" was exclaimed in the room when they kissed.
-X-
Mini looked down at Poppy's shocked face, still on the ground, nose bleeding, and smiled. Suck it.
