Legacy of the Betelgeuse

I'm staring at Chelsea with disbelief and shake my head while blinking.

"A date? Like, right now?"

Chelsea smiles and shakes her head.

"Not right now. After we are done playing, how about that? Let's go and have dinner in your favorite place while knowing each other better."

I scoff and smile.

"You're quite the bold one even though you said it yourself that you have no experience in this kind of thing."

Chelsea bites her tongue cutely.

"But I said that I watched a lot of movies and films though."

Chelsea tilts her head while resting her hands on her hips.

"So, is it a yes or no?"

I'm staring at her for quite a while and I finally nod.

"Yeah, why not."

Chelsea is grinning happily and nods.

"Parfaite! Let's go back to the house. I might need Ivonna's permission first though."

I raise my eyebrow.

"Why do you need her permission? Are you not allowed to date someone or something like that?"

Chelsea shakes her head.

"Not because of that. Like I said before, she might be interested in you. If she looked depressed or showed her sour face, that means she really does have a feeling for you."

I look at her with my mouth open. But I can't say anything about that.

We then go to Grisell's house.

We are walking toward Grisell's house, and we can see that everyone is there. I look at Chelsea and she just keeps on smiling as if she couldn't wait to tell Ivonna about this.

Francesca looks at us and waves.

"Yo! Where have you guys been?"

Chelsea shakes her head.

"Nowhere. We just wandering around the town, that's all."

Francesca is squinting her eyes and then immediately grabs Chelsea on the neck as soon as Chelsea is close enough to her and wraps Francesca's arm around Chelsea's neck.

"I knew it, you lie as you breathe! You didn't invite us to get the companion, huh? You'll pay for this. Three of you!"

Chelsea is laughing while groaning in pain.

"I'm sorry!"

Ivonna looks at me with her sorry expression.

"I'm sorry, Francesca can see through me. So I couldn't lie about it."

Leonardo then looks at me.

"So, let's talk about this companion system. We are curious about it."

I nod.

"Alright, let's get inside and I will explain everything to you guys."

We all enter the house and I start explaining about the companion system to them. from how to get it, how many types of the companion, what it does, and how to maintain them.

They all are excited about it and immediately planning to enter the forest again.

Emma looks at me and squinting her eyes.

"You're free right?"

When I'm about to open my mouth, Chelsea is shaking her head and shaking her index finger.

"No, he already has a plan with me."

Everyone is furrowing their forehead and looks at Chelsea with confusion. Francesca looks at me and Chelsea back and forth.

"What do you mean?"

Chelsea looks at me and grins, then she looks at them.

"Because I'm going to have a date with him."

My eyes and Chelsea's eyes are taking a peek at Ivonna. Ivonna who's busy playing with her Amruchi immediately stops and looks at both of us with disbelief. She smiles for a split second and then she looks down and stares at her Amruchi again. Everyone's mouths are wide open with disbelief.

Emma looks at me and she furrows her forehead while shaking her head. I can see what's she saying under her breath.

"What?! For real?!"

I just smile at her.

Francesca clears her throat while taking a glimpse at Ivonna.

"Well, that's really shocking..."

Grisell looks at Ivonna.

"Are you going to guide us, Ivonna? Do you remember where the place is at?"

Ivonna looks at them and smiles.

"Yeah... I recorded the whole thing, so it will be easy for us to clear the quest."

Ivonna then clears her throat while looking at Michael.

"But, I don't think I can help you, Mike. If we are inside the maze again, I don't think we can do it."

Michael is clicking his tongue and rubbing his head.

"Man... this sucks. Am I really have to do it on my own?"

Leo and Hans are laughing at him, but they both put their hands on his shoulders.

"Don't worry Mike, we will help you get it, but after we got ours first."

Michael is looking at both of them with his mouth wide open.

"Seriously?! You know what! You both are my best bros in the whole world."

Chelsea is looking at Ivonna and pointing at the window.

"Are you sure, Ivy? You don't have to force yourself if you can't do it."

Francesca and Grisell then look at Ivonna. Ivonna raises her eyebrows and looks at Chelsea.

"I think I will be fine since everyone is going to be there. Except for Mike of course."

We are laughing while looking at Michael who's groaning in disappointment.

Francesca then claps her hands.

"Alright, boys! Let's get going! Today will be a long and exhausting day again."

They all nod and leaving the house. Ivonna is still sitting on the chair while checking her inventory. Chelsea then sits beside her while staring at her. Ivonna raises her eyebrows and smiles at her.

"What's wrong, Chessi?"

Chelsea looks at me and then looks at Ivonna.

"Can I, Ivy?"

Ivonna is smiling and nods.

"Yeah! Why do you have to ask for my permission? You can go on a date with anyone you want. I'm really happy for you, seriously. I know that Trevor is really a kind and caring person."

Ivonna then looks at me.

"Trev, don't you dare do anything funny to Chessi, okay?"

I raise my hands and smile.

"I promise. I won't do anything to her."

Ivonna smiles and nods.

"Okay then. I have to carry them into the Klagliaad Forest. Wish me luck!"

We both nod and smile.

"Good Luck, Ivy!"

"Good Luck, Ivonna."

Ivonna smiles and then walks toward the door and leaves the house.

Chelsea is looking at her and then walks toward me.

"She's lying..."

I sigh.

"Even if she is, she isn't bothered with it."

Chelsea is humming while staring at the door. I clear my throat and look at her.

"Before we log out from the game and go out for a date. Can I ask you a question first?"

Chelsea looks at me and nods. I raise my index finger and look at her.

"Are you really interested in me in that way?"

Chelsea is humming for quite a while and then shrugs.

"I'm not sure, but I think I am. Well, let's try to go on a date once and see how it goes, I think? If I really am interested in you, then I would love to keep going and develop this feeling for you."

I laugh quietly and Chelsea is looking at me with confusion.

"What's funny about it?"

I shake my head.

"Nothing. I mean, this is the weirdest confession I have ever heard."

Chelsea is covering her face while groaning in embarrassment.

"I don't know how to do these things, okay? This is my first time!"

I clear my throat and stand up.

"Alright, let's log out and I will reserve a seat for two in the restaurant that I know."

Chelsea nods.

"Okay, I'll go and take a bath."

I'm waiting for Chelsea downstairs and then I hear a clattering sound from upstairs. I look up and I'm stunned by her dress. She's wearing a grey long dress with a black belt and gold frame and wearing black high heels while holding a small purse. She opens her arms and spins around.

"How do I look? This is the first dress I made since I got here. Do I look good in this?"

I'm still stunned by her dress. Chelsea is waving her hand in front of my face.

"Trev? Are you listening?"

I nod.

"Yeah..."

I clear my throat and squinting my eyes.

"Have you ever considered being a model? Because you look gorgeous."

Chelsea is scoffing while blushing.

"Do you really want me to be a model? Are you not afraid that someone will steal me from you?"

I immediately look away and look at my watch while sighing. Chelsea runs towards me and grabs my hand with both of her hands.

"I'm so sorry, I didn't mean it..."

I look at her while sighing and then smile.

"It's fine."

I look upstairs and then look at her.

"Give me a minute. I need to change. You're going all out, and I should too. Wait for me in the living room, I will be back in a flash."

I run to my bedroom and open the wardrobe. I put my tux on and wearing a bow tie. I change my pants and shoes as well to match with the tux.

I walk down and Chelsea is still standing there waiting for me. Chelsea looks at me and raises her eyebrow.

"Now we are talking. Shall we go now?"

I smile and nod.

"We shall."

Chelsea wraps her arm around my arm and we both leave the mansion.
