Four is a party, five is a crowd


Rosa: Sorry to interrupt but, even if you are far from friends, you should stay together. You two are from the same dimension and can understand each other's needs. Do you understand?

(James flies down swirls around Arabella's head and lands on the table. He looks like a Fruit bat in a cute Tux, standing up straight and one wing behind his back.)

James: your meal is served, Women.

(The food on plates land gently as if they were feathers, the aroma even better then home world, the colors brighter, the quantity better.)

James: Bon appetite and If you need me, please just whistle. - Flies up-

Arabella: 'Thank you, James! And yes, Rose I understand, but when this man killed an innocent creature when it wasn't hurting him and was knocked out, for no other reason than for morbid fascination, one tends to start to dislike them. And Lucy if you aren't against it, then we shall go to that shop after we do some shopping. I want to get you some new clothes. The ones you're wearing most likely have Nuckus and Blood Bug juices on them. So, unless Joss can resolve this issue well, we have important matters to attend to. You can also come with us Rose, do some girl bonding.'

(Rose Chuckles)

Rose: Oh, I will be honored. I haven't had " Girl Bonding" In about 80 years.

Lucy: Aaaw yay yay!!! Now for the fooooood!!

(They all dig in and enjoy their meal. About an hour passes and it's about 6:23 pm. James picks up all their food and cleans off the table.)

James: Is there anything else I can do for you gorgeous women? - Says with a handsome smile-

Arabella: 'Well, there is something. Rose, is there somebody here that could help is with our shopping bags? I'd like a bag bearer (she says with a tiny giggle), and I think James here would be perfect for it.'

(James smirks and licks his fang)

James: I would be pleased. Some time off from my duties here at the Castle would be quite exhilarating.

Rose: Mmm well excellent, let's make way then.

Arabella: 'Well girls, lets shop till we drop!' (She says with a benevolent smirk.) 'Hope you are strong James.'

(Snaps his fingers and his tux turns into an open stretch coat and a white shirt underneath.)

James: As strong as you need me, My dear.

(After several hours of going through town, the girls and James finish their venture. Rose showed and explain mostly everything that Arabella needed to know about currency, culture, nationalities, some history, and her past love life. James and Arabella communicated some more, impression each other and exchanging information. They encountered with a fellow delivery orc, trusted, and know by Rose, he is sent to take to the hotel and wait for their payment. It is 8:00pm and the whole town lights up with brilliant, beautiful lights. A beauty that could only be realize through by magic in a world that will be considered fantasy. They reach where Joss is)

James: Well if this is where your friend is, I guess I would be going now. A 4 is a party, while five is a crowd - Winks at Arabella- Plus I don't want any problems between you friend if he sees me with you girls... Many men find me as a ... " threat" I suppose - smiles-

Arabella: (Giggles madly at his comment.) 'Honestly James, don't worry. Joss was only making sure we knew he was okay, and if on our way here we made some friends he can't exactly fault us for that. I'm sure he did as well.' (She gives James a look that means to reassure him.) 'Come on in. You are our new friend along with Rose. And I think you know Mr. U as well. You might run into him if you stick with us for a while.' (Then she walks on in with Lucy's hand in her own.)

(In the main time Arabella and group were in front of the shop, two little girls about 7 and 6 years old are playing with a red ball. An older one, who looked like a 12-year-old came out of the shop and calls out the other girls.)

???: Sol! Shey! Come home now. It is going to be bedtime soon.

(The older sister looks at Arabella and company and glares at them. She then goes inside the store for a second then comes out and grabs the hand of the other sister and rushes in the store. Then Mei comes out.)

Mei: Who are you?

(James nods his head and shrugs his shoulders with a smile. Rose steps at front of the group)

Rose: Hello, Observer for the Queen, Rose Defonte Faturra. We are here upon the message giving by the Great Mother, in consideration of Joss, ally of Arabella and Lucy.

(Mei smirks)

Mei: Joss eh? That overconfident stupid man? He is inside, almost dead...he deserved it becau...

(A great voice is heard from the inside)

Great Mother: MEI! COME INSIDE!

(Mei went inside and later on, the Great Mother calls them.)

Great Mother: You may enter.

Rose: Thank you, Great Mother. - She takes a seat and allows Arabella and Lucy to find him-

James: I shall wait here with Rose. Take your time. - He sits-

(They entered the store. Inside there was a man, Lin, talking to the Great Mother. Inside the shop, they see various tables and chairs, they look old and each one had different designs. In the middle to the back, there is a giant stage like theater with elegant curtains.)

Lin: ...And I will go to the south to find them.

Great Mother: Ok. May the worlds blessing be onto thy.

(Lin bows, then looks at Arabella and smiles. He then looks at Lucy and bows.)

Lin: Greetings Arabella, Lucy.

(While Arabella and company were greeted by Lin, the other butterfly came upon U and delivered the same message and waited for his answer.)

(U was being a peeping Tom while the message was given. The women that he was spying on turn around and see his shadowy figure fighting with the butterfly to go away. He turns his direction to the girls slowly. They stare at him menacingly and he slowly sinks into the floor and leaves the area. Headed to the hotel)

U: Hrrrmmm dang it Joss, bad timing. - says to the butterfly- " I'm waiting for Joss, Arabella and Lucy at the Hotel Rougher. I'll be outside waiting for Lucas"

(The butterfly vanishes in the air.)

(In the main time, to the south of the capital, there is a farmland called Aerilon. A boy rests under a tree in a hill. A girl runs to where the boy is approaching him.)

???: Shion! Hey Shion, wake up!!

Shion: Huh? What do you want Ana?

Anastacya: Is Anastacya! Call me by that name!!!

Shion: Gosh, I don't know why are you so grumpy all the time.

Anastacya: It's because you always make me be this way. (She crosses her arms)

(Shion looks at the sky)

Anastacya: Did...did you had the same dream?

(Shion changes his view to the ground while nodding)

Shion: Well, what do you want?

Anastacya: Why you always need to be like that?

(Shion looked at her then smiled)

Shion: I don't want you to feel sad or even concerned for mere dreams. Are you going to the capital?

(Anastacya turns around and blushes)

Anastacya: You know, we've been friends since childhood, so, if there is something troubling you, come to me. Alright?

(Shion was staring again at the sky)

Shion: Did you said something?

(Anastacya is filled with anger and begins to walk away from Shion)

Anastacya: I'M GOING TO THE CAPITAL YOU STUPID VEGGIE LOVER!!!

(Shion smiles)

Shion: Take care Ana. Oh, and bring me some of the carrots that I like.

(Midway, Anastacya turns and shouts.)

Anastacya: YOU GO TO MERLIN'S HOUSE. IT'S TIME FOR YOUR CHECK OUT!!!

(Shion scratches his head)

Shion: It's already that time...oh well...

(Shion stands and sees as Anastacya grabbed her bag and some stuff and begins to walk in the road until she disappears from his sight. He walks down the hill and goes to the little town.)

Chapter 8:

(Anastacya arrives at the capital and begins to wonder around. She does some window shopping and decides that is time to buy the things she needs. She goes to the food market area and buys boar meat and sees a strange bunny girl changing her hair color.)

Anastacya: Mmmm...How would I look if I dye my hair like that?

(She smiles and continues walking. She hears some commotion and sees Víctor flying up with an elf. She changes her view.)

Anastacya: Elites huh? (Says with a hate tone)

(Later she enters a shop that sells accessories and buys a white ribbon. She tries it on herself, takes a spin, then smiles. On her way out, she sees Arabella and company and stares for a moment to look at James.)

Anastacya: Only if that veggie lover would look like that...

(She sighs and continues her way to the outskirts of the capital.)

Arabella: 'Well, hello bunny man. I can't believe I keep finding animal morphs. This is pretty cool though. Who do you plan on finding south?'

(Lin chuckles and pets Lucy)

Lin: I hope you are behaving in the capital and it's just an errand darling.

(He smiles to both and turns to the Great Mother)

Lin: I will continue with my path. Take care of him and this little flower here, they are both...very important.

(He exits the store, looks around then vanishes in the air. The Great Mother laughs)

Great Mother: Come on girls, take a seat!

Arabella: 'Alrighty!' (She goes and takes a seat on one pillow on the ground and motion for Lucy to sit next to her.) 'Well, do you have any tea? I could go for some earl-grey right now.' (She says with a hungry look in her eye.)

(Lucy turns into a cat and lays on Arabella's lap.)

Great Mother: But of course, child! Mei!

(Mei comes with a disgust face.)

Great Mother: Could you bring some fairy tea to our guests and some biscuits?

Mei: Yes, Great Mother.

(Mei goes behind the stage for some time and returns with some cups filled with a strange pink liquid and biscuits. She places the cups in the table, besides the biscuits.)

Great Mother: Thank you. Now your shift ends. You may go outside and have some fun.

(Mei bows and heads behind the stage again. After some minutes she comes out in different clothes. She then walks towards the Great Mother.)

Mei: I will go and visit some friends.

Great Mother: Ok darling, take care.

Mei: Ok. Love you grandma!

Great Mother: Love you too sweetheart. May the world bless you.

(The young girl rushes to the exit until she leaves.)

Great Mother: So, what brings such lovely ladies to this old store?

(Lucas wakes up hearing knocking on the door)

Lucas: Wonder who could that be...maybe Katherine finally brought food!!

(At the door there was a delivery man with all the thing Katherine bought on the first run)

Delivery orc: Just need you to sign here it's already paid.

(Lucas signed the papers and thanked the delivery orc, he picks up the stuff and close the door.)

Lucas: geez can't she buy a pastry like a swirl choco-peanut-cake. Maybe I'll buy one tomorrow.... Oh don't mind me just getting a snack... Btw next time Beat change the tone of your dash cause it's still the same and tell me if Dawn is here too I can feel him (two men appeared on the room.. One of them appeared after a slight sound like a flute.)

Beat: Geez man can believe that memory of yours its really of the chart

(Then Dawn came from the bathroom the toilet is being flush)

Dawn: Good old Lucas. Well Beat he was the top in our team and class what did you expect from him?

Meanwhile...

Katherine was getting closer to the hotel while going in a high speed. She then notices U and she tried to stop completely, but she suddenly bumps into U making the food fall.

Katherine: Sorry I was in a hurry

U: Oh, don't worry - Laughs and gathers himself together again- I didn't feel a thing. How are you? (he makes several tendrils to pick up the food and stack them back in their places.)

Katherine: Wow thanks a lot and sorry I'm in a hurry..and fine and you?

(Katherine hair change back to white)

Katherine: Oh I'm headed to the hotel. I'm meeting up with my master and apparently, he brought guests. I needed to buy more food before they arrive. Hey wait a second... Did we meet before? Cause I think I have seen you before...

(U laughs and shapeshift into her exactly, even her voice)

U: I don't know maybe a mirror?

- Changes back- I'm everywhere and nowhere darling. I'm an explorer.

Katherine: wow that's cool but I have seen you before......(snap her fingers) oooh yeah you where with Lucas right? On the grim path was it?

U: - Nods- yes indeed. - stops for a while- Wait... You know Lucas? Big robotic cat guy? - Morphs into Lucas- Like this?

Katherine: Lazy ass cat...yeah that...that my master. I'm he's pupil. Anyways... what your name? I'm Katherine nice to meet ya!! (she extends her arm to greet u)

U: I am U, just that, the letter U. - smiles and makes multiple hands shake her hand- well he has an adorable pupil then. I was supposed to meet him at the hotel. Since I believe we are headed the same way. Let's go. I can carry the stuff. (Makes another Katherine with her shadow)

U: Just give them to yourself.
