Chapter 2: The Date
Tyler's POV
I find this girl, rather interesting. She's not like the girls I have met before. The feeling of her being a princess rather is a big difference because most girls are not royal blood. Her pink bubble gummy hair, her light pink skin, her pretty face, her poise as a princess. Glob, if I knew her well I'd tell more than what I just said. She might think that I'm mysterious but I'm okay with that. We barely knew each other anyway. Meeting her later would be rather nice, to know her much better. *sigh* Wait. Where are we going to meet again? *face palm* Oh that's right I forgot to tell her. Maybe I'll just visit her somewhere in the Candy Palace but I have to take precautionary measures. The guards might think I'm a robber. I looked to my left and saw the sun going down. Oh woops time to meet her. Wait. I gotta find Peppermint Butler to tell her I'll meet her in the gardens. I walked at the gates of the palace. A Banana Guard! Perfect. I gotta ask him. I walked up to him. He probably noticed me.
"Oh, Hey Tyler."
"Hey…Listen, do you know where Peppermint Butler could be?"
"Oh, he could be in the kitchen, I don't know. Try looking him there."
"Okay, thanks."
So the kitchen, huh? Well, I don't know where it is but I'll give it a shot at the dining room. The kitchen must be near that room. I went there in the dining room and found a door. I peeked in to find Peppermint Butler there. Huh? Who knew? I walked up to him.
"Hey Pep!" He seemed to notice me.
"Tyler, Are you here to meet the Princess?" I rubbed the back of my neck, a faint blush seen.
"Oh, yeah, tell her I'll meet her at the gardens."
Meanwhile at the Lab
Bonnie's POV
Tyler, that guy's so mysterious. I've been coming up with a lot of theories and done a little research but something's really missing. First off, is he human? No, let's just start with Pep's speech. I haven't been cascading myself from my own happiness. I never do. What I did to Brocco….it was for the best. I didn't feel anything. I only love him the same way as the Candy Citizens. But to Tyler…he's not candy. He's just an acquaintance. No more, no less than that. I just find him quite, interesting. As I did my little research, he is observant. I also seemed to notice that he brings a book with him. His clothing is quite casual if I should say. He's friends with Marcie. Speaking of which, Marcie brought the guy earlier for lunch. Does she know too? She must be part of it. Agh! I shouldn't play dumb. Just then door opened. It's Pep.
"Pep, what is it?"
"Aren't you supposed to meet with someone tonight?" Oh that's right. I'm supposed to meet him, to know him better.
"He's in the gardens waiting for you." I'll just leave this messy lab and find more research. I got my equipment and notes to use. I walked out of the lab and went to the gardens. It was quiet, apart from the splashing of the fountain and blowing winds. I see no one's here.
"There you are, Bonnie." I turned around to see Tyler upside down on a tree and our faces inches away. He flipped his way down.
"Is it okay to call you by your first name, Your Majesty?" He was being formal. He was a gentleman side.
"S-Sure. It's fine by me, as long as when you look for me, call me Princess or something."
"What's with those gadgets there, you going to test it on me?" There he goes again.
"Yes. Is it okay if I ask questions and do research on you?" He smiled, mischievously.
"Sure, as long as these equipment, notes, glasses and lab coat is off." He removed and took my equipment, notes, my glasses and my lab coat.
"What, why?"
"You look much prettier than those things." I just smiled awkwardly.
"Uhm…Thank you."
"Go ahead then, ask questions away."
"Are you human? What is your species?" He scratched the back of his neck.
"Well, I'm not human and my species you say, I won't tell you. I'm not candy too."
"Your age?"
"I'm 20, nearing 21."
"What do you…usually do?"
"A lot of things of things, Bonnie. Hey, why don't I show it to you? The night is still young. Shall we go?" He stretched a hand towards me. I feel uncomfortable. I took it anyway. He led me outside the garden and outside the kingdom. I'm not sure where we're going. I can hear music and a lot of people shouting. A party? So he likes to party.
"A party?"
"Yep. Do you dance?"
"Sure I do-"
"C'mon" He pulled me through a crowd. We started dancing and I feel kinda awkward right now because this is not the kind of research I was hoping for. I saw Finn and Jake over there from the side. They went towards me.
"Hey PB! You joining this party?" Jake asked me.
"Uhh…Yeah! Just partyin" Finn looked at my side and Tyler was standing next to me.
"Hey Bonnie, who are these?" He pointed to Finn and Jake.
"Oh, this is Finn the human and this is Jake." I pointed to each one.
"Finn, Jake, this is Tyler." I pointed to Tyler.
"Nice to meet you Finn the human, Jake. Shall we go, Bonnie?" He reached out another hand. I unconsciously it and looked at Finn and Jake.
"I-I'll see you guys around." And with that we left the party.
"Wow. Is that boy actually human?" He asked as I let go of his hand.
"Yeah, he saved me a lot of times already." I told him. He chuckled.
"I guess they must be that brave." I looked at him and asked.
"Soo…where else are we going?"
"Oh, we're going on a small village."
"Why?"
"I'm showing you what I usually do." We headed to this village. It seemed to be located on the woods. This must be the Tree People's Village.
"What are we supposed to do here? Do you come here?"
"I come here all the time. I even came here earlier. I help the people here. There was this one day, I came wandering around and found this village. Their trees were being burnt down and the people were trembling in fear. I helped them solve their problem and built them new houses. Their lifestyle and living wasn't very pleasing so I acted as their leader and guided them better than what they are and now, the people here lived much peaceful and as a teacher, well I could say I'm proud." He looked at me and shrugged his shoulders. I just chuckled. He looked down and put his hands on his pockets.
"The day that I found this village, was the day I left my home, and that day was the best day of my life. If I hadn't left my home, I wouldn't have saved these people. Grew close to them and I grew to love them. I deeply cared for them." He…He cared for people. Why does this touch my heart? We have similarities but we have differences as well.
"Where is your home?" I asked but he shook his head.
"That will be another time too, Bonnie. I…I don't really want to talk about it right now." He rubbed the back of his head and look at his left. I placed a hand on his shoulders.
"I understand if you don't want to talk about it….Where are we going this time?" I tried to change the subject. He led me to a cliff. We sat on the edge.
"Well, now you know most about me, how about you? Tell me about yourself." He leaned on his arms and looked at the stars. I became speechless. I don't know what to say, what to tell. *sigh*
"You do research, huh?"
"Y-Yeah"
"You like science then. Hmm….Science, science…" He pointed the sky.
"Look at the sky." I looked up and see nothing but stars.
"What do you see?"
"That's a ridiculous question."
"Just answer it."
"I see….stars."
"Stars. Stars are cosmic energy engines that produce heat, light, ultraviolet rays, x-rays, and other forms of radiation. They are composed of gas and plasma, a superheated state of matter composed of subatomic particles. Though the most familiar star, our own sun, stands alone, about three of four stars exist as part of a binary system containing two mutually orbiting stars. No one knows how many stars exist but the number would be staggering. Our universe likely contains more than 100 billion galaxies, and each of those galaxies may have more than 100 billion stars. Only 3000 stars are clearly to see here in the naked eye." I just listened as I lied down on my back and gaze at the stars. I looked at him and he chuckled.
"It's fascinating though. People find an interesting way to make other people take interest on the stars. Like wishing on a star or, what they call, a shooting star. Wish on one and it will come true. *chuckles* Have you ever believed in that before?"
"No, why? It's just a meteoroid entering an atmosphere, thus becoming a meter." His arm pointed at the meteoroids.
"There are a lot of shooting stars out here tonight. Why don't you wish one? The one wish you always wanted." I laughed. Hmm…I don't know.
"I don't know…it seems childish."
"Just give it a try. Who knows, maybe your wish will be granted? Just close your eyes and silently make a wish. You don't have to tell it." I laughed again. I guess I have no choice then but to do it, huh? I closed my eyes and wished. When I was done, I caught him staring at me.
"What?"
"I…I just thought maybe you could…come with me tomorrow at the village and I'll introduce you to them." I think I don't have anywhere or anything to do.
"Sure. I'll come with." A long silence but I started to wonder.
"You're an astronomer, you sure know a lot about stars. You even memorized a whole definition of it."
"Hah…yeah, my dad made me memorize a whole book about astronomy. It was pretty crazy." He started to stand up and stretched a hand to help me get up when I lose footing on my right foot.
"AAHH!"
"I got ya." Suddenly he spun me around and stopped, centimeters away from our faces. We look eye to eye, our blush faintly seen on a night sky. His pair of strong arms hold me like he didn't want me to go. I feel protected for some reason. Now I can see his handsome features clearly. His slick black hair, his kind, polite, caring personality, his manners.
"So…you had enough information for your research?" He asked me, I'm still in his hold and we're still staring at each other. I grew speechless, again so I just nodded my head.
"Good. I'll walk you home to your Palace."
He let go of his embrace but he didn't let go of my hand. I was safely courted to the kingdom and we said our goodbyes. I hurriedly ran into my bedroom. I face planted my pillow. What is this new feeling? What is Tyler trying to do?
