Dang it! I just can't stop writing about these two! That Special really placed a mark in my Heart.
He still remembered That Night; Everything turned into a Disaster! Then she...
Toffee's thoughts were interrupted when he felt his hair slightly pulled. Haven't they groomed him enough?
Brawnyn, Rasticore and a few of his other fellow Soldiers were grooming him head-to-toe; Combing his hair, fixing his ruffled shirt and jacket, polishing his tail, making sure he smells irresistible...
As much as he wanted this Night to be perfect, he was getting really agitated by all the pampering.
"And if you gaze into her eyes, do not stray for more than 1 minute."
That was the last thing Toffee heard before he shooed the Septarians away from him. Just as he turned around, his eyes widened at the sight of... her.
The female Septarians entered the room, and parted, revealing Armageda in all her beautiful glory. Clad in a red Victorian-styled dress, she opened her wings to complete her Grand Entrance. The Audience, including her Entourage, looked on in complete awe.
She still hasn't lost that fire of hers. No matter how hard he tried, he just couldn't take his eyes off her. No. He mustn't get distracted. He waited too long for this.
Just as Amy approached him with that alluring smile of hers did he finally speak;
"Wow. Just... Wow."
Amy smirked. Her tail found its way on Toffee's neck before touching his nose, snapping him out of his daze.
"Last I check; you had better vocabulary." She teased.
Toffee smirked in return before grabbing Amy by her wrist and pulled her into the balcony where the Moon light up the Night sky with its tantalizing glow.
"And last time I checked; you were dangerous on your feet." Tyrex wrapped his arm around her waist while his other claw held her claw, "May I have this dance, Milady?"
Amy smiled, her eyes sparkling, "I'd love to, Kind Sir."
That's their cue. While the two gazed lovingly at each others eyes, a band of Septarians began playing a slow, but romantic tune. (Insert High School Musical "Can I Have This Dance?" please.) The two waltzed around the balcony, unmindful of their audience silently watching them from the inside of the recently-repaired Castle.
Its just like the Night when Amy came of age. Minus the fighting. Oh wait. There's the tail-slap. And another. And Toffee just let Armageda fall so that he can catch her on his arm before flipping her onto the other arm. Amy retaliated by kicking him on the knee. And slapping him with her wing.
Yep. Just like Old Times. Sniff.
Toffee pulled Amy up. The Princess was glaring at him, for a moment, before she laid her arms and head on his chest, feeling the beat of his heart. Toffee held her closer, running his claw on her wings. Aww. Could they get any more romantic?
"Promotion here we come." Rasticore whispered excitedly to Clawria. Now all that's left is for Toffee to pop the question, and they'll finally receive the privileges they have been working so hard for!
The Septarians were so engulfed at the moment, that they didn't notice their prisoners sneaking behind them.
Jeremy, Ferguson and Alfonso wanted to scream. Why him?! Why?!
"Gentlemen," King Butterfly quietly warned the three, "I didn't steal that remote from that sleepy Owl Monster just so you could blow our chances of escaping over a girl who was actually an evil Monster Princess bent on destroying life as we know it and had no interest on any of you whatsoever! Now; one-by-one. While they're distracted. And hold onto your stomachs."
"Well... At least they're not singing." Alfonso whispered.
"As if he sings any good." Jeremy soon regretted that when Toffee began singing in an Angelic voice that almost sounded like a combination of Zac Efron and Brad Kane. And if that wasn't even bad enough, Amy is singing back at him!
One-by-one, the group silently tiptoed to the other side, making sure that they were not caught. As they watched the couple dance and sing, some gave disgusted looks (King Butterfly, Tom, Ponyhead), some held their barf (Justin, Janna), some, awed (StarFan13, Jackie), and just as Jeremy, Alfonso, and Ferguson were the last ones to cross over...
The song ended with Toffee dipping Armageda before pulling her back on her feet. Just like their First Dance together on that Magical Night.
The Septarians cried quietly as they can. And to think those two use to hate each other!
"Amy," Toffee spoke softly. This was it, "There's, something, I've been meaning to ask you; I... I... Eye..."
The words were gone. The words he has spent trying to form for years were gone! Now all he could do was stare into her, beautiful, deep, sparkling, eyes. Tainted with an alluring sunset hue.
"No, no, NO!" Rasticore silently panicked, "Abort! Abort! That's way over 1 minute! Oh who am I kidding? Dive in!"
Toffee and Amy gazed into each others eyes, mesmerized by the blissful moment. After a few more moments, they closed their eyes. Just as their lips were about to touch...
"NOOOOOOO!"
The two opened their eyes, only to find their lips touching JEREMY?!
The Septarians groaned in dismay while the Couple separated in complete disgust, spitting out the taste of Jeremy. That's when everyone stopped in realization and turned around, facing the other Prisoners.
"Uh... Hi?"
"You do realize she's a Lizard?!" Janna snapped at Jeremy as the group were shoved into a crystal cage. (Just like the one Marco was trapped in "Storm the Castle".
"And that she was pretending to be nice?!" River added.
"She was gonna get dirtied by that slimy Lizard!" Jeremy cried.
"Why couldn't it be me?!" Alfonso cried.
"Or me?!" Ferguson cried as well.
They stopped when they turned to the sound of annoyed grunts. Both Armageda and Toffee were glaring at them, their arms crossed. Their allies looked like they were about to maul the group for ruining such a perfect moment.
"Next time; put Eye-van in-charge of surveillance." Armageda hissed at Rasticore.
"We couldn't even look him on the eye." Rasticore nervously remarked.
He and Clawria turned to the Septarian with a very big eye on his head. The sight of it made the two Monsters look away in fear, much to the dismay of their ally.
"And I thought owls were suppose to be nocturnal." Jackie remarks.
"Yeah. I'm more of my Possum Father side than my Mother..." A humanoid owl Monster, who was put in-charge of watching the prisoners earlier, admitted, before suddenly falling asleep.
"Well, the moment's ruined." Toffee glared at the prisoners, "I hope you're happy."
"To be honest; I actually liked you guys." Armageda's three human Admires smiled hopefully at her words. And then..., "Then you started acting like those barbaric Mewmen. Calling us Monsters stupid and all. You even had the gall to insult my Knight in Scaly Armor. That was, UNFORGIVABLE. I would've have burned you along with those so-called 'Wedding Plans'."
The three boys could feel their hearts breaking. Their eyes shed tears of despair.
"Dang, Girl." Janna remarked, only to catch The Chameleon Princess' attention.
"I actually liked you girls." Armageda turned her glare at Star's girlfriends, "But then again; You were friends with that Butterfly. And as for the rest of you... Well, you know what you are. Now if you'll excuse me, I have to wash down his (Jeremy's) filth with acid."
Armageda turned her back and began walking away from the group, followed by 3 of her female allies.
"Was it all a lie?"
The question made her stop, "What are you talking about?"
"I don't know." Janna replied, "You looked, happy, when you were hanging out with Star."
"It wasn't my intention to cross paths with her in the first place." Armageda spoke coldly, "Just as I wasn't planning to, mingle with the likes of her, after what her kind did to mine."
"But, you guys were having so much fun together that you guys completely forgot about us." Jackie pointed out, "You even ditched us to have fun."
"And that time when you told me to be honest with her so that I can get her back?" Tom added, "Was that a lie too?"
Armageda flash-backed to the Costume Party; Marco invited Tom, and the Demon was feeling timid just seeing Star for some reason. She didn't know why, but she soon found herself talking to the Demon Prince, listening to his failed relationship with the Mewni Princess. Then, she gave him advice, to reconcile with Star. Fixing their relationship. Making them both HAPPY! WHY WOULD SHE DO THAT?!
Now that she thought about it, he did remind her about her long-distance relationship with Toffee. And how she was worried about how he'd feel if she didn't...
No! Things turned out alright. So there was no point for her to worry anymore. Hopefully...
"Know your place, Demon." She replied coldly before leaving with her Entourage.
Once she was out of sight...
"You Idiots ruined our chances of Right-Hand Monsters!" Rasticore snapped. That's when he realized Toffee was nearby, "Uh... And their chances of Happiness."
"You jerks locked me up!" Ponyhead snapped back.
"We gave you a nice room with all the Posters you can destroy." Brawnyn pointed out.
"You also made me listen to Classical Music!" Ponyhead complained, much to the others' confusion.
"That, doesn't sound like torture." Alfonso pointed out.
"We may be Monsters, but that doesn't mean we're uncivilized." Toffee pointed out before turning to leave.
"You know you can't keep that act forever!" Jeremy called.
"You're delusional." Toffee called back.
"And you're crazy to think Amy would fall for your trick!" Jeremy's sudden outburst caused Toffee to stop on his track, "She'll find out eventually that you're only using her to be King! And when she finds out, oh you'll be...!"
The Group jumped in surprise when Toffee slammed his claws against the surface of the cage and glared at the prisoners with so much rage in his eyes.
"Did you know what was it like to see the only Creature you care about shatter before your very eyes?" Toffee spoke coldly, "Did you know what it was like, to feel helpless and weak, knowing you could do nothing but watch those pieces of her scattered? Amy meant everything to me. I rather see myself dead than to hurt the only one who understands me. If you think I was just toying and taking advantage with her emotions, then you're a bigger fool than me."
The Prisoners were, surprised. And speechless. Never has River seen his Wife's Greatest Foe like this.
"Well... Too bad Amy wasn't here to hear that." Jeremy scoffs. The next thing he knew he was being slammed in every corner of the cage by a red tail. Amy's red tail.
Amy had just finished removing Jeremy's filth from her mouth and was already on her way back to the Prisoners. That's when she heard Toffee. He sounded, upset, for some reason.
She walked closer only to witness him snapping at the Prisoners. Mostly Jeremy. He was angry, but his words were filled with so much love and devotion. The same way she felt about him.
And just when Jeremy snapped back at him, she gave him a piece of her mind. And tail.
Armageda jumped on Toffee and peppered him with kisses, much to the awe of her fellow Septarians, and disgust of the Prisoners.
She finally stopped, leaving her lover with a blissful daze on his face, "Let's say we continue where we left off. Upstairs."
Toffee smirked in response while the other Monsters smiled in glee.
"Alone."
Aww.
Armageda snuggled Toffee's arm before glaring at a dismayed Jeremy, "One more word out of you, and I'll rip your tongue out."
Jeremy cringed. The others could do nothing but watch as the Couple left the room.
"Amy he's lying!" Jeremy finally cried when they were completely gone.
"No he isn't."
Everyone stared at River in confusion, "As a happily married Man and Father, I know Words of Love when I hear them."
River couldn't believe he was standing up for a Monster. Yet, something tells him that they were the victims of this crazy World.
While Toffee took off his jacket, Armageda stared into her reflection in the mirror. Star's Friends' words still echoed in her head. She kept telling herself that everything she did with that Butterfly was for the sake of her Kind's Freedom.
But why did she feel... happy? Just being with her?
Her thoughts were interrupted when Toffee gently laid her on her bed before gently caressing her face with his claw. Her mind was completely put to ease when he pressed his lips on top of hers.
She can continue to worry tomorrow. And finally put a stop to it when she gets The Wand back.
