Cranes Over All
Prince kept his eyes on Sweetie, the lady he wanted in his life. He knew one thing though, he had to get her protective father away from her. The royal tower crane then turned to a couple of husky dogs, which he kept as minions.
"Snow, Fleet, get over here!" Prince demanded
Snow and Fleet nervously walked over, highly afraid of Prince's short temper.
"Yes, your highness?" Fleet asked
Prince looked in the direction of Executor "You see him? That's my future wife's father, but he's protective over her." He told them "I need you two to get him away from here and kepp him distracted."
"Him?" Snow asked "I don't know…he looks really big…"
"And I look small?!" Prince snapped, causing both to cower in fear "Get moving or you two will never see old age!"
Prince then snapped his big claws as if he were ready to kill them in his grasp.
"Y-yes your majesty…we'll get right on it…" Fleet replied and ran off with Snow
They nervously approached Executor convincing him that there was trouble in the forest and only he could stop it. They managed to get Executor to fall for it and he followed them into the woods, leaving Sweetie behind. Prince then put his neck over Sweetie's again.
"Hello again, my sweet princess." He replied
Sweetie nudged him off again "I thought I said to leave me alone."
"Easy there, my lady, I've come to show you true luxury that I know you'll like." Prince told her, thinking 'And this time, daddy isn't here to help you.'
"Oh really, and what's that?" Sweetie asked
Prince chuckled, saying "Come with me, sweet cakes, you'll soon find out."
Sweetie rolled her eyes, but went with him to a huge canopy set up for them by Prince's other animal servants. Prince then let her under the canopy, then clicked his claws to get everyone's attention.
"Listen, furballs, I demand you all give my lady here the same amount of luxury as you would me!" Prince snapped "Do I make myself clear? Polish her with the best material, put mascara on her eye lashes, and clean her off!"
"Yes your highness." They replied and got to work on cleaning Sweetie
Sweetie looked at Prince and how mean he was being to these poor animals.
"Do you need to be so cruel to them?" Sweetie asked
Prince shot his eye to her "They need to know their place and no that it's cranes over all. We rule this land and crush any resistance."
Sweetie backed away from him and gasped "No, nobody should act like that! You're making us sound evil and cruel. That's not how I want to be!"
Sweetie saw one of the servant mice get badly hurt when he was cleaning her wheels. She lowered her head to him and gently saying it was okay.
"Bless you, princess." The mouse replied
"Sweetie! He messed up, he's supposed to be punished!" Prince told her
Sweetie glared at him for that "That's not how I am. I treat everyone with respect no matter who they are."
"As I said, it's cranes over all. They're just servants and they're below us just like any small appliances." Prince responded
"Well it just so happened my love interest is a small appliance, he's a ceiling lamp, and he's a better love interest than you'd ever be!" Sweetie snapped, wheeling away
Before she get away though, Prince wheeled quickly right in front of her.
"No no, I didn't say you could leave, my dear, you're mine now and here, what I say goes." Prince told her, his voice getting low
"Not for me, it doesn't." Sweetie responded, going around him as fast as she could go.
Prince growled at how hard she was to get. He knew he had to get her back and would make sure they'd rule over all. Sweetie soon returned home, but there was still no sign of her father. She knew she wouldn't be safe at home though. She went to Elizabeth and asked her to shrink her again, so she could stay at Ellie's house in case Prince came back. Elizabeth accepted and had Sweetie shrink to the size of a coyote and she wheeled over to Ellie's house. She told her what was happening, then retreated to the basement. Down there though, her friends and uncle were concerned and were getting ready for this threat that was coming their way.
