Chapter 13 - Rubidian Capital

They arrived at the capital.

"WOOOOAH!" yelled Bo. "Look at this!" He ran around after they got off the carriage. It was the first time he had entered a large city. Pika and Mittie looked around in wonder as well.

"F15, F16, and . . . F17! Haha, this is my new shop!" exclaimed Wu Fa. He looked up and down the rundown storefront. "Looks like I need to do a shop makeover." The carriage with supplies behind him had also arrived.

Sharon opened the shop door to find a drunk man asleep at the counter. The shelves were stocked with odd trinkets that did not sell well. The store was dusty and there were cobwebs in the corners. A large sign on the counter read "DO NOT DISTURB MY NAP."

Sharon pushed Wu Fa before the man. "HEY YOU!" yelled Wu Fa. The man jolted awake and glared at Wu Fa.

"Who do you think you are?" he roared. "I'll have you know that this is a shop run by the Wessex family! Don't even think about making trouble!"

"I'm here to make trouble. Now get out. You're fired!" yelled Wu Fa.

"Fired? Haha you cripple, who do you think you are?" laughed the man. He stood up to a full seven feet.

"Kor, throw this punk out. And I'm John Wessex, the youngest son of the Duke," replied Wu Fa.

"With pleasure," replied Kor. The man's face paled.

"Hey wait a moment--" but before he could finish speaking, he had been tossed out of the door like a ragged doll.

"Hey John! You said you'd teach us magic!" yelled Bo.

"Okay, I'll teach you magic after you clean this dump out," replied Wu Fa.

"What?! That's not what you said!" whined Bo.

"Too bad, help Sharon clean up or no magic for you," smirked Wu Fa.

"ARGHHH! FINEEEEEE!" groaned Bo. The rest of the day proceeded with Sharon, Bo, Pika, and the old couple cleaning up the place. Kor, Mittie, and Wu Fa headed out to buy a new storefront sign. By evening, everything was complete. A large "WESSEX GELATERIA" sign hung outside. All the junk had been cleared, and a space had been set aside for storage of supplies.

"Alright guys, the grand opening will occur in a week," said Wu Fa. "Take the rest of the week off and prepare yourselves. Now I'm gonna teach Bo, Pika, and Mittie some magic."
