AN: Aleena and Skylocke: Drabbles (From Prompt #153 of alloftheprompts, found on Tumblr)
No specific order in the timeline for my story. Each prompt however, is in the order it was listed.
1) Worth waiting for:
It was quite miraculous that what happened in the courtroom came to be, Aleena thought to herself as she relaxed in Skylocke's arms that night. But how long it took for her father to realize what had happened five years ago and to begrudgingly accept that she was an adult now was as beautiful as her children were going to be.
2) The next day:
Skylocke knew he was on thin ice the moment that he existed; never mind walking into those unnecessarily large doors to the castle. He knew he deserved the look he was given from the guards, with taking the princess that they were supposed to protect five years ago right from their noses, but did he have to seriously get it from his king as well?
The green wild hedgehog decided to talk about the behaviour with his girlfriend in the morning, having to deal with it tonight was just too much for his systems right now.
3) Future plans:
Everything washed away the moment the elder tapir opened his mouth. What they hoped to see, what they wanted to happen later on just flew straight over the waterfalls of reality, never to survive the onslaught that awaited at the bottom.
It was at that point Aleena and Skylocke recognized the consequences of their actions from six years ago.
4) Pure thoughts:
When the green wild hedgehog first met the captive purple bird, he thought that she was the most annoying thing on the planet. Never mind Chuck's constant whining about not finding a place to settle down: this woman thought she was the queen of the entire kingdom!
5) Personal values:
Skylocke's beliefs and what he loved were the things that truly made him lonely: his attitude helped, but that didn't stop making Aleena see the adventurer in a whole new light.
6) Desperate message:
What Charles had given him a few days ago should have convinced that old coot that something was wrong. Instead Skylocke had to try his best with convincing Aleena that running back into a burning building, one that contained that pathetic excuse of a father was currently cooking inside no less, would be her own death-trap. He was not losing someone else tonight.
7) Multiple options:
Skylocke always had multiple ideas, multiple exits that he could use out of any situation. Too bad most of them weren't fun as he liked.
8) Strange explanation:
Aleena couldn't believe what she heard from Skylocke: since when was throwing yourself off of cliffs fun?
9) False Memories:
Aleena believed everything her mind conjured up the first few months, particularly the ones where she still had their children. It took everything within Skylocke to not cry along-side her as she cried when he told the heartbroken hedgehog the truth.
10) Unbelievably crazy:
It sounded as if Skylocke had crazy ideas: Aleena knew from how he fondly nattered on about his adventures sometimes. But he never seemed to enjoy telling her as much as he loved to show her his feats and accomplishments daily. Many of them sounded insane from the get-go, but what was the truth if these stories weren't?
