"You comfortable, Kitty?
Kitty?
Can you hear me, Kitty?"
"He can't hear you right now...…..but I can."
*Phuuueeeeem*
"Kyle. What are you doing here, and why are you pressing me against the wall so tight?"
"I could ask him the same thing."
"It's not what you think.
I didn't even lay a finger on him. Honest.
Please believe me."
"How can I trust you if you don't trust me?"
"Can you feel my breath between us? Hear the rhythm of my heartbeat? I am not breathing heavily, am I?"
"Hmmmmm…..
There are other ways to touch people besides using your hands."
"But you're the only one I am touching now."
".....I wish I could believe you.
GUARDS!!!!!"
"Kyle, you can't take me away. I'm Queen now."
"I'm not taking you away….."
"Sir, Kyle. What seems to be the problem?"
"But him.
Ummm...Our guest here..."
"Ate too much, and….."
"Wasn't strong enough to make it home. So, we let him rest here awhile.
He lives in Firetown...with Ruby.
Please make sure he gets home safe."
"Yes, Sir."
"You can count on us.
One…..two….threee. Lift."
*Heeeeeaaaavvv.*
"Oh, and please be careful. He may have claws, but he is still my brother."
"You're way too kind, Kyle.
If I were you, I wouldn't have sent him home.
Can you ever forgive me?"
Only if you can forgive me, but I was never mad at you."
"You weren't?"
"How can I be mad at such a pretty face?
Besides, we are both young and still fresh in life. Their are a lot of things that will be fighting for our attention, but I promise that from here on out, if we stick together; we can conquer anything. We may be young, but let's rule this Kingdom...the right way.
Our parents fought for us, but that doesn't mean we have to live the same way."
"So, no more powers?"
"Natysh, wings were meant for more than just flying."
*Knock, knock.*
"Kyle, your brother is safely back on route to Rubys house, and…..ohh...oh. Sorry. I'll come back in the morning."
"So, what do you want, My Queen?"
"First off, I'd like to apologize...…my way."
"Hey, what's with the shoving onto the bed?"
"Then, I want us to take this Kingdom back into the public eye.
No more sitting on the outskirts and only popping in whenever we are asked for. Let's be first on the scene."
"Before you go head over heels for helping others.....about that apology of yours?"
"Sure thing.
Can't be strong for others if we ourselves are not strong."
"Ruby, before we can be strong, you need to be one hundred percent, and that starts with a good night's sleep."
"But it's been awhile since last I slept a whole night.
I don't even know where to start."
"Well, putting your head on the pillow is a good start.
Do you need me to read you a bedtime story?"
"Mrs. Heartchild, with all due respect I'm...…"
"Not in your body."
"Oh yeah.
I keep forgetting that.
Can you just leave a Chocolate milkshake by my bed?"
"Ruby, that doesn't solve everything."
"It does for me."
