It was war...yep war on Half-world,not by the robots but by Ronin the accuser. I know I know, you think that because Jason blew him up he's gone...but no he's still there even with Thanos gone. My mom and dad or as you'd know them as Rocket Raccoon and Lady Lylla were doing everything they could to stop it, yeah that's right,my parents are Rocket and Lylla oh and they're the new rulers of Half-world but I'll get to that later. Oh my bad I didn't mention that this was the future,2028 to be exact. Besides you probably know me,no?, ok then, My name is Silver Raccoon,many people say that I'm an exact clone of my dad except younger and with Silver fur,hence my name is Silver. I have or used to have a younger brother called Cross,unlike me he's an otter like our mother Lylla except more wilder. Anyways back to the point, to fully understand this we gotta take you guys all the way back like way back to where it all began...so I'm just going to switch to the third person now so sit back and enjoy the story and remember this ain't a Rocket story,this is a Silver story and just like my dad always says...there ain't nothing like me 'cept me
It was about 8:00 A.M on Half-world and Silver was lying in the Palace bed twisting and turning when the alarm rang,Silver covered his ears and growled with annoyance sometime being a prince SUCKS. Silver threw a pillow at the alarm and knocked it off the table and silenced it,he smiled and fell right back to sleep when someone jumped on his bed and shouted excitedly
"C'MON SILVER WAKE UP WAKE UP!"
Silver groaned as he knew the voice was his over energised brother Cross
"not now..." Silver moaned
"awww...c'mon please..." Cross begged with his persuasive voice,it was almost like someone was trying to brainwash you...he got that trait from Lylla.
Silver was tempted to wake up but he sighed and said "I'm too tired..."
"well ya wouldn't be if you didn't keep wondering if Alice likes you" Cross said with a sly smile
"HEY! I DIDN'T!" Silver said
"sure...you didn't" Cross said
"I DON'T! AND LEAVE ME ALONE ON THIS TOPIC WILL YA!"
"ok if you say so" cross said.
"rise and shine boys" said Rocket as he entered the room
Silver continued to lie in bed when cross whispered in his ear
"if you don't I'll tell dad you have a crush on Alice in school"
Silver's eyes twitched,it was true he did like Alice and he didn't want anyone knowing..how his brother knew was beyond him
Silver opened his eyes and sat upright on his bed and yawned
"morning Silver" Rocket said
"morning dad"
"ready to go to school?"
"yeah" said Silver as Cross was right about him liking Alice. Alice was a female Raccoon about his age and Silver knew her since they were little more than kids in pre-school and from that day onwards,as if fate was trying to bring them together, they kept running into each other. He liked Alice a lot,she was sweet and kind and cool,and he knew she liked him back,mostly because Cross kept telling him that so many times he was starting to believe it,but deep down he knew she liked him too.
TWO HOURS LATER
It was break time in school and Silver was having his lunch when he heard someone was in trouble,a girl by the sounds of it. Silver finished his sandwich Lylla packed for him and went to see what was wrong. He found Alice on the ground scuttling away from three guys ready to beat the living hell out of her,why you ask?, well it's because of her relations to Pike who was the mortal adversary of his father,Rocket, her dad was K-9 one of Pike's elite commanders who assisted in the kidnapping of Silver's mother,Lylla, as far as the entire school was concerned she was an outcast and a traitor to Half-world. An experiment that shouldn't exist,but she'd made her intentions clear that she had no leanings in her father's directions and wished to start fresh,but despite that they still despised her cause K-9 was an excellent spy as well as commander meaning he was an excellent liar so because of his rep, Alice was also deemed as a lying not to Silver and Cross,they felt that she was telling the truth but kept that to themselves as it would lead the public to believe that they were being manipulated and the King and Queen I.E. Rocket and Lylla were corrupt and untrustworthy and that was something he did not want in a million years...but now this time he'd felt that they have gone too far by beating her up so Silver growled and decided to help and if it came to violence,he wasn't going to hold back,and he had a good reason for doing so...K-9 betrayed Pike and became apart of Rocket's secret service as well as a member of his private guard,soon enough Lylla and Rocket became friends with K-9 and most Half-worlders accepted this so why should K-9's daughter be treated any different this angered Silver greatly.
"you've got guts showing up here and taking that apple...GIVE IT TO US OR ELSE!" said the one in the middle
"please...I..I'm so hungry,you've taken my money and my food at least let me eat this..." Alice quivered
"where'd you get it?" said the one in the middle sounding more sympathetic that the one in the middle
"I plucked it from that tree over there...please you do this to me everyday..at least let spare me this once I beg of you" she said as she started to cry
The guy in the middles temper spiked and he slapped Alice twice and took the apple from her and threw it off somewhere in the back,where Silver caught it and watched how this played out and if he should come in.
"dude..uncool..I mean look at her she looks like a damn skeleton"
"HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHAT HER LYING FATHER DID TO OUR DEAR QUEEN! HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN HIS ALLIANCE WITH PIKE! THE SAME PIKE THAT TURNED LORD RANGER INTO A MINDLESS MONSTER! THE SAME PIKE THAT TIRED TO KILL OUR KING AND QUEEN! WITH POISON IF I MAY ADD,AND HE NEARLY SUCCEEDED IN DOING SO! THIS SCHOOL AND WHAT LIES ON IT IS FOR HALF-WORLDERS ONLY NOT TRAITOROUS BASTARDS AND THOSE WHO FOLLOW THEM...ESPECIALLY THEIR SPAWN!" he growled
He slapped Alice again making her scream ow and cry,he grabbed her throat and his claws dug into it,he took them out and grabbed her hand and dug his claws in them so much that it actually pierced through and made her bleed. Alice cried more and more heavily and shouted more loudly but every time she shouted he'd slap her which would quite her down, Silver couldn't tolerate this any more she was bleeding out. He made his move and stormed to where she was
"HEY!" he growled and he punched the lead figures face making him drop his victim.
Silver stood in between Alice and the other three boys,two of which knew who they were dealing with and that he obviously knew what happened here and he wasn't all to pleased with it given the growl and the angry frown.
"p..Prince SILVER!" said one of them in shock
"good you know who I am which save me the trouble of introductions...and you must know what I want"
The one in the middle recovered and was pissed
"WHY"D YOU DO THAT FOR? YOU DO KNOW HER DAD TRIED TO KILL YOUR PARENTS!"
Silver crossed his arms and did not waver from his point
"I am well aware of what K-9 has done in the past"
"then why? WHY PROTECT HER! I CAN BET IT'S BECAUSE YOU LIKE HER!"
"My feelings are my own and I deny nothing and besides..K-9 is now a respected member of my fathers private guard"
The confidence of the middle one fell a little but Silver noticed
"meaning that it's considered treason to mock a member of the royal family or my father's private guard...and that includes their spawn as you would put it...now if neither one of you wants their ass thrown in jail then .ALONE!...UNDERSTAND!" Silver as he shouted in the last four words.
The trio fled and Silver's temper died out and he turned his attention to Alice, his face fell and he saw her miserable state as she was still crying and grasping her wounds in pain. Silver went close and knelt down beside her,he put his hands on her shoulders to get her attention but as he did so she struggled and tired to break free
"hey..hey..hey It's ok..it's ok...they're gone" said Silver as he spoke in his gentle voice
"p..prince Silver?" Alice sobbed as she turned around and found his worried face staring at him
"please..just call me Silver" he said as he noticed her wounds
"is there anything wrong?"
"let me see you wounds" he said in a worried voice
Alice was hesitant but she showed her wounds and Silver's eyes widened and he gasped softly,he took Alice's hands gently and took a bandage that Lylla packed in case of an emergency with regenerative properties,he wrapped one square on her hand and one on her throat. In a moment a green light came off the bandages and the squares fell out and her wounds were gone! Alice's eyes widened and she smiled but her stomach rumbled and she frowned again. Silver took out a spare sandwich he had and gave it to Alice
"Silver?"
"for you...I heard you were hungry my mother packed it for me but I'm so full so here you go"
"thank you!" she said in glee and she took the sandwich and wolfed it down.
"I..Is it good?" Silver asked
"wonderful!" Alice exclaimed.
"and I think this belongs to you" Silver said as he gave the apple that Alice had back to her
"thank you...Silver"
"anytime!" Silver exclaimed as he helped her to her feet and walked away
Alice smiled when she heard someone laugh softly behind her,She turned around and found an unexpected guest
"Prince Cross!"
"Alice..." Cross said with a smug smile
Alice noticed this and frowned
"everything ok?"
"nah..It's just cute"
"what is?" Alice asked as she was starting to get creeped out
"you and brother duh"
Alice started to blush wildly as he cheeks turned pink and then red
"I..I..It's nothing like that! w..we're just friends that's all"
Cross rolled his eyes in amusement,he knew Alice was lying, the blushing gave it away..
"I know you're lying Alice...I've seen you to look at each other with 'interest' since pre-school. Admit it you LIKE my Silver don't you!"
"yes.." Alice mumbled
"what was that again...I couldn't hear you" Cross said annoyingly
"YES! fine my prince! I like Silver...I think he's sweet the way he protected me..looked out for me" Alice admitted
"HA! I knew it...why didn't you tell him.." Cross said
"I'm too shy...plus I don't know if he like me too"
Cross sighed
"of course he does! why else would he step in to save you and give you one of our mom's sandwiches...which by the way he's really stingy about. Giving one up to someone means he likes them" Cross explained
"and you can't be shy for the rest of your life for things like this! make your move first cause trust me! Silver SUCKS in admitting emotions to others and kinda ruins it so you go first"Cross said as he walked away.
'maybe I will' Alice thought...
AFTER SCHOOL...
Silver sighed as he closed his locker with a bang with frustration at what happened at break when suddenly
"hey Silver!" Alice said in a sweet voice that Silver wasn't able to resist
"H..Hey Alice. are you still doing here?" Silver stuttered
'cross was right Silver does like me..he doesn't say it but he shows it in his actions' Alice thought as he backed Silver up against his locker
"visiting you of course...I came to thank you" she said as she went nearer to Silver to whisper something,Silver was blushing madly as Alice had never acted this way before.
"Thanks for saving me from them Silver..and you deserve this.." Alice whispered
"you welcome Alice,and what do I deserve?"
"this" Alice said affectionately as she bent closer and kissed Silver in the cheek making him speechless and breathless as his eyes widened at this display of affection form Alice.
She backed away and suddenly it was like Silver went on auto-pilot,he grabbed Alice and hugged her making her blush but she remembered Cross's words and returned it more affectionately.
"see ya Silver!" Alice said as she went away leaving a very shocked Silver
'what just happened?' he thought.
"yo Bro!" Cross said as he came running
"hey cross!"
"we gotta go home...Groot is here to pick us up!" Cross said
"ok! let's go!"
When Silver and Cross got back, Silver went to his room and fell on his bed and face the ceiling,he thought of what happened at School today, he was shocked at Alice's affection towards him and wondered...what had driven Alice to do what she did but that was a mystery he'd only get tomorrow...
