Summary: Jr gives MOMO some flowers and takes her out for a treat. :)
MOMO looked over the floral arrangement that had arrived secretly. It was an arrangement peach blossoms around a pink zinnia. There was no card, no anything, that came with it. Of course, the peach blossoms could have been a clue. Knowing how Omi usually worked with flowers, she also did a little working through her memory banks to see what they actually meant and was touched by the meanings. Shrugging slightly, she centered it on the table.
Jr managed to make his way to MOMO's hut without doing anything to ruin the arrangement Omi had worked on, and knocked on the door of the hut.
She blinked and then smiled, recognizing Jr's unique biological readings outside her door. She ran over and opened it up. "Hi, Juni-" She stopped herself in surprise. "Ooohh... pretty! Thank you so much!" she then said, taking the flowers from him.
Jr grinned at seeing MOMO, more than willing to relinquish the flowers to her and pleased at her reaction to them. "Happy Valentine's Day, MOMO. chaos suggested that I really needed to get ya somethin'..."
MOMO giggled a bit. "You didn't have to," she said. "But, it's nice you did." She put them on the table next to the other ones, moving them over so they were centered right.
Jr smiled, "Maybe I should get ya flowers more often if ya're gonna react that way to 'em." He noticed the other arrangement, "Whose are those?"
"I don't know," she said. "They didn't come with a tag or anything."
"Weird..." Jr shrugged, not recognizing the flowers either. "I'm glad ya liked the ones I got ya. Omi asked a helluva lot of questions."
MOMO giggled. "Yeah. He likes to put a lot of meaning in the flowers."
Jr nodded, "He does. I've never been so nervous!"
She smiled at him. "That's okay. I'm sure he understands."
"I dunno..."
"So... you'd really get me more flowers?" she asked somewhat coyly.
Jr smiled, "Well, yeah...maybe next time I'd go when Relena or Aya's workin' so I might not get so many questions."
She laughed. "From what I know, Aya puts almost as much effort into it as Omi does." She smiled.
"I doubt he'd ask as many questions as Omi did!" Jr replied, "Geeze, I'd rather deal with Helmer or Gaignun than that questionin' again..."
"It couldn't have been that bad, Jr!"
Jr shook his head, his face turning a little red. "It was!"
“Well, I appreciate it."
"Ya're welcome." Jr smiled, "So ya wanna do somethin'?"
"Okay!" she said. "What do you want to do?"
Jr shrugged, "If ya got somethin' in mind, I'll go with ya."
"Hm." She looked thoughtful for a moment. "I heard Jon made some special desserts for today. Do you want to go see what's there?"
"Sure!" Jr smiled, "That sounds good to me."
"Okay!" She grabbed her jacket.
Jr waited for MOMO to get her jacket, then held the door open for her after he walked out of the hut.
She walked out with him once she had put it on, and fell into step beside him as they headed for the cafe.
Jr reached out and grabbed MOMO's hand since she was right there. "So...do ya think chaos an' Pluto are actually gonna do somethin' today?"
MOMO blushed slightly as Jr took her hand. "I don't know." She smiled a bit. "I hope they do."
Jr grinned at MOMO, "At least he can't take me to task for not doin' anythin' for ya an' disappointin' ya again."
She smiled at him. "I don't want you to feel like you have to, though, Jr," she said. "But, I do appreciate it."
Jr shook his head, "It's no big deal."
Her smile widened a bit and she hugged his arm.
Jr's eyes widened a bit at her hugging his arm, but he recovered and smiled. "Nice to know ya like it."
"Of course, I like it," she said.
"That's good."
MOMO giggled a bit and let go of his arm again as they stepped into the cafe.
Jr smiled, opening the cafe door for MOMO.
She trotted up to the counter, examining the different sweets Jon had put out for Valentine's Day. There were a lot of chocolate things. "Mmm..." MOMO smiled. "That looks like something called 'Death by Chocolate'," she told Jr.
Jr headed over to MOMO, a wide grin on his face. " 'Death by Chocolate', huh?"
She nodded, biting her lip slightly in anticipation. "I've heard it's really chocolatey, but really good."
"Ya wanna try it?" Jr grinned, having a good idea what was going through her head. He knew all about girls and chocolate thanks to Mary and Shelley.
She nodded.
Jr chuckled, heading over to the counter and ordering the 'Death by Chocolate' for MOMO.
She smiled. "What are you having?" she asked him.
"I haven't decided yet." Jr shrugged, "There's too much good stuff here."
"Hm." She looked around. "You could try the brownies," she suggested. "I know those are Duo's favorites, right?" She didn't know that Jon had snuck some food dye in there to change people's tongues colors as a prank.
"Yeah...but I know I could go to his place an' get brownies..." Jr mused, "An' there's other stuff there that looks good."
MOMO nodded. She settled on to one of the stools to eat her cake when it came to her.
Jr looked at the different chocolatey dessert goodness, immediately passing over some of the cakes. He didn't want to encounter another cherry-filled cake like the one Albedo had given him a piece of.
She watched him, wondering why it was taking so long for him to decide.
Jr finally made a decision and ordered one of the chocolate cupcakes with chocolate frosting all over it, sitting on the stool next to MOMO when he got it.
"That looks good, too," she said, looking it over.
Jr grinned, "I know."
She giggled.
"How's the 'Death By Chocolate' ?"
"It's good!"
"That's good."
MOMO nodded. She was oddly compelled to swing her legs from the stool, as it was too tall for her to reach the ground. So, she did.
Jr chuckled softly as he watched MOMO, munching away on his cupcake as he absently did the same thing with his legs.
She hummed softly to herself, an oddly familiar song that she didn't remember where she'd heard it before... something from Sakura's memories.
Jr's head shot up as he heard the familiar song, something he remembered Sakura playing on the piano and he tried to play along with on a harmonica he found. He turned away a little, setting the cupcake down for now.
The humming abruptly stopped. MOMO looked at Jr for a moment. "Are you okay?" she asked him.
Jr looked over at MOMO, "I'm fine."
"Is the cupcake not good?" she asked him.
"It's really good!"
"Oh... okay." MOMO smiled.
Jr smiled, "It's nothin'."
She nodded.
"How's your day been so far? I mean, before I showed up with the flowers."
"It's been okay," MOMO said. "The other flowers were a surprise. I've been trying to think who would have sent them to me... but..." She frowned a little bit.
Jr looked at MOMO, "But...?"
"Well... there's only one person I can think of who would give me something with peach blossoms..."
"Peach blossoms?" Jr frowned, he had a good idea who would send something like that.
"Mm-hm." She nodded. "They made up most of the arrangement. The other flower in the middle was a zinnia."
"I can only think of one person who'd do that."
"Me, too."
Jr shook his head, "But why?"
"I don't know, but... the meaning behind them was... nice."
"What was it?"
"Well, peach blossoms have a few meanings. Generosity, hope... Well, bridal hope in particular. Or the giver being the recipient's captive." She blushed slightly, then shook her head. "And the zinnia usually means thinking about friends... sometimes absent friends. The fact that it was pink could mean affection, or it could just be because I have pink hair."
Jr shook his head, a little confused as to what Albedo was trying to get across with those flowers. "Probably just pink hair knowin' him."
She shrugged. "You know how Omi gets about flowers."
“I know..."
"That is... if he went to Omi. I don't know if Aya is as 'enthusiastic'... If Relena was working, then he could have just picked the flowers out himself."
Jr nodded, "Depends on who he found at the shop."
MOMO nodded as well, finishing her cake. She thought for a moment. "Jr...? Do you know that song I was humming?" she asked him.
"Yeah..." Jr nodded, "Sakura used to play it."
She smiled a bit. "I couldn't remember where I knew it from. Some of Sakura's memories aren't that clear to me."
"She played it on the piano..." Jr closed his eyes a little, "I used to listen to it when I could."
"You liked her a lot, didn't you?" For a moment, MOMO wondered if she could play the piano, too.
Jr nodded.
MOMO smiled a bit. "I'm sorry about what happened with her," she said. "That you had to lose her like that..."
"That's..." Jr tried smiling for MOMO even though he still felt a little sad when he thought about Sakura. "It's in the past."
She leaned her head on his shoulder.
Jr put his arm around MOMO, "She asked me to look after you."
"I guess, in a way, she was like my sister," MOMO said.
"She did think of you as a sister..."
"Daddy used to talk to me a lot while I was being created," she said. "I don't know if he knew I could hear him... or that I'd remember it."
Jr nodded, "I don't know either. But I'm sure he had a guess."
She smiled a bit, picking her head up. "You should finish your cupcake," she told him.
Jr chuckled, nodding a little as he picked it up again.
MOMO giggled. "Thank you," she said to him.
"For what?"
"For today."
Jr smiled, "You're welcome."
She giggled.
Jr finished off his cupcake.
"Ready?"
"Yeah."
She nodded and slid down from the stool.
Jr slid down after her, "Anythin' else ya wanna do?"
"No... this was fun." MOMO smiled at him.
Jr smiled, "Glad ya enjoyed it."
"Did you?"
"Yeah."
"Good." She headed for the door.
Jr chuckled, catching up to MOMO.
She walked back towards her hut with Jr, slipping her hand back into his again as they strolled.
Jr smiled at MOMO on the way back, glad that she enjoyed the flowers and going out. Even with the sad memories that were brought up.
As they walked up to the door of her hut, she turned around. "Thanks again," she said. "And you can tell chaos I had a good time so he leaves you alone." She giggled at him.
Jr laughed, "You're welcome again. And I'll make sure to tell chaos!"
"Okay!" MOMO smiled. "I'll see you soon!"
"See ya later!'
