Chapter One: His Name Is…!
Aladdin and Tettia were riding in a cart. Both the young magi and the Fanalis were looking back at the city they were leaving. "Wow…! The city is so tiny from here, Ugo! Isn't it amazing, Tet?" the young bluenette said to his flute and Fanalis friend.
Tettia laughed, "It sure is, Laddin~!"
There was a woman who was sitting beside the two, who smiled at them. "Are the two of you heading to the neighboring city too?" she asked them.
Aladdin smiled cutely and childishly. "We sure are!"
"How sweet," the lady said with a grin.
A pig threw an apple core onto the floor of the cart. "Hey! Quit moving around so much, brat, you're causing the dust to scatter," said a fat pig. Tettia clenched her fisted, resisted the urge to punch the fat man. "Ugh! This place is cramped, and the kids noisy! Aren't you going to do something about this, driver?" complained the pig.
The driver, who was Tettia's age, looked over his shoulder, his eyes closed in an apologetic manner and rubbed the back of his head. "My deepest apologies, sir!"
Tettia looked at the driver and smiled to herself. His blond hair was cute and his thick ahoge added to his charm. "You don't have to apologize to a fat pig like that, sir driver…" she muttered to herself.
"Sure, my rates are cheap, but I always get the job done. I'll get you and your precious grape wine to the destination safe and sound! Okay?" the driver said.
He was almost irresistible to Tettia, he was just so unknowingly charming. "I believe in your words, sir driver," she said with a smile directed towards the driver.
"Damn straight!" was the only thing the fat man exclaimed. "That wine is worth more than what you'd earn in your miserable little life."
Wow, what a fat fucking pig. I wish I beat the shit out of him, Tettia thought to herself as she combed a hand through her semi-wavy, unkempt red hair. She sighed heavily and Aladdin noticed her inner rage.
Aladdin reached for the fat man's apples. "Looks like you need some food in your belly, Tet." he said.
"No, Laddin—" Tettia started but was cut off.
The fat man noticed Aladdin reaching for his apples and screamed, "TAKE YOUR PAWS OFF OF MY APPLES!"
Tettia face-palmed and sighed, "Laddin… I told you not to…"
Mister driver once again looked over his shoulder, his eyes narrowed at Aladdin. "Hey! Those are for the BOSS only!"
The blue-eyed boy cast his gaze on the driver. "C'mon! Let me and Tet have one!" exclaimed Aladdin.
FatManPiggy McPigginton glared at Aladdin. "Do you brats have any money?"
Tettia glared at the fat pig and flatly spoke, "The hell we do." Then she crossed her arms and huffed angrily.
The driver was still looking back and this time he glared at both Aladdin and Tettia. "Then no touching. He's got money, therefore he's also got the apples. Got it?" he said in a low tone. Tettia looked at the driver. He had gorgeous honey brown colored eyes. She narrowed her red eyes at him, but not in a dangerous way. The driver then closed his eyes and ringed his hands, then gushed, "Now when you've got a cure for your poverty, we can start talking apples~!"
Tettia fell over as Aladdin said what was on her mind. "N-not fair…" Aladdin said.
The fat man laughed and all Tettia wanted to do was kick him out of the cart and watch him roll around. "You sure get it, don't'cha driver?" he asked almost rhetorically.
Aladdin was downcast and sat in sadness. Tettia sat beside him and had her hand on his shoulder, trying to cheer him up. His blue eyes looked at the fat man and noticed his bouncy man-boobs. He knew if he tried to grope Tettia's breasts at this moment in time, she would not hesitate to punch him in the back of the head, so he did the next best thing.
Meanwhile, the driver was thinking to himself. Heh, now this is the type of boss I like! Danger's at a minimum, payout at the maximum… as long as nothing dangerous happens, I'm going to get paid for sure!
Tettia was looking at the driver until they both heard noises and looked over to see Aladdin face-deep in the fat man's man-breasts. Tettia's face fell, falling over from the sheer shock; the driver's face looked beyond shocked and he dropped a basket-full of apples; and, the fat man was furious, a vein was throbbing in his forehead. "W-WHAT?!" exclaimed the Fanalis.
Aladdin said, muffled through the man's fatty chest, "Mister? This is really weird… you're a guy, but you have boobs that rival Tet's! What's up with that?"
Tettia's face erupted in pink. "A-ALADDIN! Don't compare my breasts to those lumps of disgusting fat on that man's chest!" exclaimed the Fanalis, covering her chest with her arms.
The driver's face became even more shocked and he yelled, "Hey! You two!" The fat man was fuming and the driver then went over to the Aladdin and Tettia then forced them to bow their heads in apology. "I'm so sorry!"
That was when the pig started to kick the driver, which made Tettia want to beat the shit out of the fatty more than she already did. "You damn brat!" yelled the fat man, kicking the driver.
The blond driver took the beating, bowing his head. "They didn't mean anything by it sir! My deepest apologies!"
The young Fanalis woman sighed and muttered to herself, "I meant something by it… my breasts are way better than those disgusting lumps of fat…"
Once the cart had stopped, the young blond driver was giving it to the two friends. "You damn idiots!" the blond driver said, holding Aladdin by his jacket, an angry look on his face. He was seething. "Just who do you two think that guy there is…?" he asked in a dangerously low voice. "He's the famous and wealthy grape winer Budel."
"Okay, for one, put my friend down, blondie." Tettia said, glaring at the driver. "And two, why do I care? He's a fat pig who obviously gets off abusing those around him. A good-for-nothing is what he is."
Budel sat a good forty feet away and was starting to get antsy. "Hey, driver, just how long is you break gonna go?!"
The blond boy looked at Budel and his attitude changed for a brief moment as he said, "Just a sec" while rubbing the back of his head. Then he turned his attention back towards the two friends. "You two pull a stunt like that again, and I promise to kill you both."
Tettia snickered and they all head back to the cart. "Geez," she muttered, "He may be cute but damn is he dumb if me and Laddin can be killed so easily."
"Geez, I almost saw my perfect life plan crumble because of those two brats…" said the blond boy as he saddled up the driver position once again.
Tettia coughed. "Excuse me… brats? For your information, I am no brat. And neither is Aladdin!"
Aladdin came following after Tettia. "Life plan?" he asked.
"Oh yeah, I did forget to ask about that. I was kinda pissed about you calling me a brat, sir driver."
The driver looked at the two as they climbed in behind him. "I'm planning on being a treasure hunter that goes into dungeons and unearths artefacts," said the blond cart driver.
Aladdin looked clueless as he asked, "What's a dungeon…?"
Tettia smiled and snickered from behind her wrist. "You mean kinda like that lady-killer adventurer, Sinbad, eh?" she asked.
The driver was impressed at Tettia's knowledge of Sinbad. "Yeah. Kinda. Also, seriously? You don't know what a dungeon is? You really are just a kid. You don't even understand the worth of money…" he asked, looked disinterested and disappointed in Aladdin's naivety.
"I can explain the dungeons, sir driver. Laddin, fourteen years ago, huge buildings erupted from the ground all over the world without warning. People went in and were shocked to find treasures from ancient dynasties within them. Eventually, people coined the term dungeon for these spots," Tettia explained.
Again, the blond driver was impressed. Maybe she isn't a brat after all, she just is friends with one, thought the driver. "The treasures within these things are incredible," said the driver.
"Diamond crowns, sapphire thrones, golden palaces…" both Tettia and the driver were smiling. "Even now there are plenty of artefacts we don't know of specifically the mysterious magical ones!" they said in unison.
The driver continued, "Cloth that flies! Urns that flow with wine! There are guys all around the world looking for artefacts like these! It's all the rage now! And who do you think is the one who's gonna find all of those treasures first? That's right, ME! Alibaba! I'm gonna be the richest man on the planet!" exclaimed Alibaba.
Tettia was impressed with Alibaba's ambitions. "Oh my," she said with a grin.
"Oooooh… so that's how it is. Also, I think Tet may have just started liking you… because of those ambitions," said Aladdin, who had his arms wrapped around his knees.
Tettia laughed. "Very funny, Lad, you have no proof of what you just claimed," she said.
Alibaba glared at Aladdin. "What do you mean that's how it is? Listen, kid, when you have money you can do what you want. A house. Livestock, oh and servants? With money, you can have it all. Time to eat, time to sleep, time to play, time for anything…" he said with a smile directed towards Tettia. She immediantly understood what he meant, her face became slightly flushed. Alibaba laughed and continued, "No worried about work, being able to talk about whatever… with money, you'd have love and hope beyond your wildest dreams. Heck! After you get all that, you can even command people to walk where you want them to."
The female Fanalis knew what he meant by that as well. "Umm… you mean having slaves? You realize that is deplorable, right, Mr. Alibaba?"
Alibaba looked at Tettia and stammered. "U-uh… yeah, I do mean slaves. That isn't deplorable… it's life."
"Oooh," Aladdin said, less than interested.
The bluenette's disinterested statement caused Alibaba to turn his attention back to the youngster. "You're not listening to me at all, brat… fine, if you hear me out… I'll feed both of you."
That sure did get Aladdin's attention. "Whoa? Did you say food?!" exclaimed the child.
Our seventeen year old Fanalis face-palmed. "Well, now you know what Lad's weakness," she muttered.
"There we go…" quietly said Alibaba. Then he went right back into speaking, "Yeah, totally. And then we'll have babes too!" the young blond boy said with a grin.
"Pretty girls!" Aladdin gushed.
Tettia groaned at Aladdin's gushing of pretty girls. "Lad! What are you…? Oh geez…" she shook her head and smiled. "You have a pretty girl right here, you idiot." Then she laughed.
"When you have money, you become a ladies man. All kinds of girls come looking for you. Gentle, supple, strong, big, small… big boob… whatever you want, you get it. Yep, all the girls you could ask for!" Alibaba said with a huge grin.
Tettia scoffed. "What's the point? You don't need money for all women, you know," she muttered. She rolled her red eyes.
"And they'll be like 'We love Alibaba!'." Alibaba exclaimed, getting hyped.
Tettia smiled as an idea brewed in her head. We love Alibaba, eh? she thought to herself. "Oh, Alibaba~" she said with a sneaky smirk. "I love you, Alibaba~" she said in a sweet tone.
The Fanalis's sudden actions caused Alibaba's face to heat up. "H-hey, look here kid! Don't play around like that!" he exclaimed.
Tettia snickered as she sat back. "Oh, but Mister Alibaba, I can't deny my feelings for you," she joked, sticking her tongue out.
"Not funny!" exclaimed Alibaba, who's face was red.
She laughed, "It's sure funny to me, Ali."
"Supple girls! Hehe… I like that…" gushed Aladdin, who was in his own little world.
His words caused Tettia to groan and roll her eyes. Was she not supple enough for those two? She laughed at her own stupid thought.
Alibaba nodded happily, "Right? Right?! And they'll totally be all over us!"
Aladdin was reduced to a ball of gushing, blushing mush. "Ahaha, really? I think I'm blushing!"
"You are blushing," the Fanalis companion said plainly.
Her comment went ignored as Alibaba continued, "We love you Alibaba! Kiss-kiss-kiss!"
Once again, an evil idea brewed and Tettia crawled over to Alibaba. "Aren't I good enough to get all of your attention, Alibaba, sir. I love you so much more than anyone ever could~" she cooed at the young blond.
Alibaba's blush returned with a vengeance. "Hey, hey! B-back away from me!"
"Oh, but isn't this what you want? I'm no child, though I travel with one. Why would you waste all your effort on finding money when with your charm, you can get any girl you wanted?" Tettia said, genuine feeling put into her words.
The blush spread across his cheeks and her words almost made him swerve the cart. "Stop that!" he exclaimed.
She snickered. "Maybe you're just too innocent for my likings. Laddin is better than you." she taunted.
"Hey, don't sell me short, Miss… umm… I didn't catch your name," Alibaba said.
Tettia moved away from him and sat beside him. "My name is Tettia, but you can call me Tet. That's what he," she pointed to the bluenette ball of blushing mush, "calls me. I wouldn't mind if you called me that either, Ali." she finished with a smile.
"Ali?" he questioned.
Tettia smiled. "Yeah, you call me Tet. I will call you Ali," she spoke with great happiness.
"O-okay…" Alibaba said.
"Teasing you is fun, Ali," said a laughing Tettia.
Alibaba rolled his eyes, "You're so funny."
"I know I am," Tettia said with a sassy tone.
