Part 1 - Restaurant
Valerie finishes drinking her shake and orders another one, Alejandro looks at her with a shocking face, and he begins to think:
"I hope I can pay this bill."
"So then, tell me about your family." Valerie says as she drinks the other shake, Alejandro looks down and says:
"Well, I used to have a mother and a father."
Valerie stops drinking and asks:
"What happen to them?"
"They died when I was 1 year old in a car accident, I have an older sister but she is currently out of town working for an agency abroad. I currently live alone, but I plan to travel with her to study in college." Alejandro replies looking at his drink. Valerie looks at her shake and asks:
"So where does your sister live?"
"She lives in Europe but I don´t know where exactly, she told me that she would send me a location one week before I leave."
"I see, talk about over protective." Valerie replies with a smile thinking:
"This guy has no connections with El Muerto, I must tell Daniel."
"Hello angel, what a coincidence to see you here." Alberto tells Valerie touching her shoulder, Valerie puts a frightened face as she turns around to confirm it´s him. She looks at him and says:
"What are you doing here?"
Alberto pulls a chair from the other table and sits next to her putting his arm around her shoulder and says:
"Well I was out on a stroll and saw a beautiful angel here, so here I am, what do you say if go to some other place?"
Valerie takes his arm off her, she stands up and says:
"Look, I don´t care about your invitations, you're always bugging me, I already rejected you in college and I don´t care if you are the Dean of Education."
Alberto stands up trying to get close to her saying:
"Come on babe, you know I am good for you, just come with me and I´ll show you."
Valerie runs next to Alejandro and says:
"Sorry but I have a already have someone."
Alejandro blushes as Valerie holds his arm tightly, Alberto begins to laugh and says:
"This guy is a loser, listen to me kid, if you don´t want to be ridicule don´t do anything."
Alejandro lowers his head thinking:
"I can´t do a thing, he is older and larger than me."
Alberto pulls Valerie away saying; "Let´s go baby."
"LET ME GO, ALEJANDRO!" Valerie screams as she sees Alejandro who is not moving. Alejandro frightened begins to think:
"I´m sorry, but I am a coward after all." Alejandro begins to think about Uriel´s lecture.
Part 2 – High school: 3 weeks before
Alejandro and Uriel are sitting in a table as they eat lunch. Alejandro asks Uriel:
"Hey teacher, when you fought the Aztec Deities weren´t you afraid?"
Uriel looks at the sky and says: "Of course I was, I almost wet my pants when I tried to fight Quetzalcoatl alone, imagine fighting both."
"Si why did you do it?" Alejandro asks biting his sandwich, Uriel looks at him and replies:
"Because I needed to protect you guys from danger, you guys are like my family. I must protect my family, including you guys."
"I see, I wish I could be brave like you Teacher." Alejandro lowers his head, Uriel puts his hand in his hair and says:
"You are brave, you defended Marjorie from El Muerto and you rescued the others at the volcano, just have faith in yourself."
"Thank you Teacher, I will, you know, you always say things like Uriel when he was alive." Alejandro replies to Uriel, Uriel gets nervous and tries to change the conversation, Victoria arrives and says:
"Are you guys having a Boys Love moment now that is hot."
The girls get in close to them trying to see if it was true. Uriel panics as Alejandro laughs thinking:
"You are right teacher, I must be strong."
Part 3 – Restaurant – Present
Alberto pulls Valerie, Valerie stops walking as Alberto pulls her saying:
"Come on sweet heart, the hotel awaits us."
Purple aura begins to flow out of Valerie as she says: "I said let go of me, now." She looks at Alberto with a killing intent, as she is about to raise her arm. At that moment an arm grabs Alberto and forces him to let go of Valerie saying:
"That´s quite enough my friend, stop pulling my date away from me."
Valerie and Alberto are shock to see Alejandro´s change of personality. Valerie blushes seeing Alejandro. Alberto gets furious and screams:
"YOU LITTLE SHIT; DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?"
"Yes you are a perverted Lolicon!" Alejandro replies causing Valerie to laugh at Alberto. Alberto wants to punch Alejandro but he dodges the blow grabs Alberto´s arm and slams him to the ground.
"Sorry, but I can´t just let you take someone precious to me away." Alejandro says with a cool voice, Valerie looks at him with a red face as her heart beats faster. Alejandro grabs Valerie´s hand and begins to run with her saying:
"Let´s go."
Alberto stands up with the help of his agents and says:
"YOU LITTLE SHIT, YOU WILL PAY."
After running away, Alejandro and Valerie breathe heavily, Alejandro looks at Valerie and asks;
"Are you okay?"
Valerie with a shy face nods in sign of agreement. Alejandro lowers his head and continues to speak:
"I´m sorry that I didn´t react sooner."
Valerie shakes her head saying:
"Don´t worry, in fact you help me, I think I was going to send him to the hospital." Valerie laughs leaving Alejandro with a surprised face. Valerie takes out a ring and gives it to Alejandro saying:
"You forgot your prize from the rocket burger you bought." Alejandro blushes and puts the ring in his left hand saying:
"Thank you, I did forget." Alejandro laughs with his eyes close. Suddenly Valerie kisses him in the cheek; Alejandro is shocked as Valerie says:
"Thank you for this date, will you take me out on another?"
Alejandro head blows steam as he replies; "Of course, whenever you want I´ll be there for you."
Valerie smiles at him and says: "Well then GOODBYE" She begins to run on one way as Alejandro takes the other. She runs thinking; "What is this pain in my chest, don´t tell me I…"
Alejandro walks very happy towards his house, suddenly he hears a voice that says:
"Hello Alejandro, do you remember me?"
Alejandro turns around and sees El Muerto behind him, Alejandro jumps back and screams:
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to you to come with me." El Muerto says as he extends his arm, a black portal opens beneath Alejandro and specter hands come out pulling him inside the portal. Alejandro begins to screams;"What is this, HELP, HELP!!"
Alejandro disappears in the portal as El Muerto removes his mask saying:
"There I remove this guy for you, think about it as a token for going to Brazil, Alberto"
Alberto comes out of the shadows and says: "Thank you for your help, Master Aleister."
Aleister smiles as he disappears from the portal as well. Valerie who is about to enter the Ministry feels a pain in her chest, suddenly her stuff bear was cut out of nowhere in itsarm causing it to fall as Valerie think: "Alejandro"
