Chapter 692 - Heat

"Right now, it's no ones; so just drop it. We have more pressing matters to focus on."

"Evander, what could be more important than friends?"

"....Family.

…You will stay here until further notice. I don't want you going anywhere near that place. Understood?

.....Un….der…..stood?"

"Yes, Father."

"Can I count on your trust?

Unwavering and unmoving?"

"Uhhhh....Of course.

I'll be in my room."

"Hopefully changing into something a little more Charming for tonight's meeting. You're a Prince, Moe. A Prince. It's time you go back to acting and dressing like one."

"....Yes, Evander."

*Beepp…bap…bap…beep…..boop....beeeeeep*

*Click*

"Hello?

...Uhuh. Uhuh. Sorry to hear...Uhuh.

It's ok. We got it...You have a good day too. Oh, and before you go, Moe. Going to these Meetings is not a punishment, nor may seem fun, but keep your head high, and walk into them with a proud heart. You know what you are inside, so now that you know that; never lose it."

"Who do you have that's there?"

"COMING, MOE? WE DON'T WANT TO BE LATE."

"COMING, FATHER.

…Ruby, I ask again. Who do you have…."

"We got it covered. Bye."

"Wait, Ruby. You didn't….

*Beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep*

Oh. She hung up on me."

"You hung up on him?"

"I hung up on him."

"Why?

Why didn't you tell him that….."

"As Lin and Jacklyn said; we can't be focusing on petty Feuds while we have Kids counting on us. So...everybody knows what they're going to do?"

"Loud and clear."

"My room's going to be so siiickkkkkk."

"Speaking of…."

"Medkits, and Vending Machines on it."

"I'll get the Lockers."

"Ummm. I was just referring to the Medkits, but.....and…..….they're gone."

"Come on, Ruby. Leaders don't stand around barking orders. Come help me with this set."

"I wasn't.....

Coming."

"Ruby, can I tell you something?"

"Anything, Jacklyn. What is it?"

"I...…..am beyond tired. I stayed up super super super super late chowing down on candy, chugging energy drinks, and sipping Coffe; but nothing seemed to work. Then I arrive and realize this is a School and not a Training facility. You lied to me."

"I didn't tell you what it….."

"And then one of them them had the audacity to say that my School Uniforms aren't 'sexy' enough. Augggghh. So they fixed them, and dyed them different colors to help distinguish ranks. I told them that if they did that then they would be forming Clicks which would further defeat the purpose of what Ruby is trying…"

"Wait, they fixed a problem you had with the Uniforms? What was it?"

"That's in the past. What I am saying is that I am sleep deprived. I need real food, and I could use a shower. I jumped in the pool downstairs, but then one of the Kings got mad that I did that and kicked me out. Now I am up here….."

*Whooooo*

"What? What was that for? I am trying to talk but you are blowing at me? Ruby, am I boring you. Oh no. Just like I was boring before, now I am even boring you. I am so so so sorry. I just don't feel like I didn't do as…."

"Jacklyn, you went above and beyond what I told you to do. Not only have you helped bring these Kids together and keep them grounded, but you have also brought all the Kingdoms back together. Well, most of them. So for that…

*Snap….snap.*

Lolli, can you bring DeathPetal around back?"

"Woo…wooo….woooo. Isn't Rainbow going to be mad if she finds her precious stolen and me of all people riding it? I don't even know the first thing about flying."

"But Jacklyn, you're air."

"Yeah. I trust my own two wings."

"Huh?"

"..You know what I meant."

"Well, Jacklyn; you are in no state to fly, let alone I am surprised you have been able to walk."

"Just using the area around me to keep my…."

"Exactly.

Go on. Hop on.

Should I bring him back?"

"Lolli will do that."

"Who's Lolli?"

"You need not focus on that right now. All you need to keep your attention is your pillow..….your stuffed Octopus."

"Wait, how did you know?"

"And your body.

We'll take it from here.

Thank you. I mean that with all that is in me."
