Wow, i can't believe i'm about to type this chapter from my mom's co-worker's computer, pretending to be checking my email... ANYWAYS, enjoy what i type! XD
Tonks ran stupidly through the street, swinging his arms around like a child. He was rather confused, though, when it seemed everyone was going towards the castle and didn't notice the zombie-like bimbo parading through. Tonks shut his eyes and swung around, and before long he had collided into the back of some random lady who had been unfortuanate enough to be in his way. And, proving the people walking were not in a state of hypnosis, Tonks and the lady crashed onto the pavement. Cash rolled his eyes as he caught up with them, and he stood a few feet away to marvel at Tonks's stupidity.

"Oh, i'm sorry ma'am!" Tonks squeaked, wanting to be polite. After all, this place was awesome and it always ruined someone's day to be kicked out of an awesome place for being a rude, insensitive idiot. Tonks leapt up from the ground and offered his hand to the lady, who was a bit shaken by the fall. But she took his hand with a smile, then giggled a little. Like everyone else in the town, this girl wore an oddly fashioned outfit which showed off her... chest. Cash crossed his arms in annoyance at Tonks, who peeked down her shirt when helping her up.

"I'm okay!" The lady laughed, and Tonks let go of her arm (which he had been clutching to help her NOT fall again...).

Tonks looked at the castle, and it seemed like everyone was still heading to it. He then looked at the lady, who was eyeing him and his own odd clothing in an interested way. Tonks smiled at her, then asked, "I'm... new here. May i ask what's going on?"

The lady perked up even more (if that was possible) and answered, "Why, how can you NOT know? King Cristophe Williams has just married Lady Taia Hart."

Tonks nodded, interested. The lady continued, "The... lower class in our kingdom, the kindgom of Kanadia if you don't know, are allowed to wait the tables or clean up at the feast for the rich's feast. That's a great honor. Even if we aren't paid, it's magnificent to go inside the castle!" The lady beamed a huge smile and stared at Tonks, as if it were the greatest thing in the world. Cash rolled his eyes as Tonks responded in enthusiasm.

The lady bowed, then stepped back. "I do have to leave. If you want to maybe get inside, too, you shouhld probably head out too. They're recruiting soon. Farewell!" The lady then bounded off back down the street and was lost in the crowd.

Tonks stared after her a moment. Then, he too, smiled a huge, bright smile. "Didja hear that, Cash?!" He squeaked, twisting around to smile at Cash. "We can get into the castle!"

Like a five year old in disneyland... Cash thought that for a moment, then rolled his eyes once more. "Fine. Let's go." Dinner could wait, i guess.

Tonks smiled even wider (if THAT were possible) and started to act all happy again. This was waaaaaay unnatural for him. Usually Tonks was in a good mood, but kind of jerk-ish and just... stupid. Now it was like his entire IQ was drained. And his next action proved it. He grabbed Cash's hand and ran off towards the castle.

-------------------

They were brought into the main hallway of the castle. It was a magnificent, large area. It seemed as though it was a giant in an elf's city. The walls were lined different shades of red and gold, swirling patterns rising up the walls. There seemed to be an endless supply of doors, and then stairs that spiralled up and out of sight.

In the main hallway, there were at least fifty peseants who were waiting. The rich were currently in another hall, waiting to pass and head up the stairs and into the dining room for food.

Tonks suddenly regained his senses after being in that hall a few minutes. He didn't feel like a five year old in disneyland anymore. No, he felt once again like his old self. And like an hour ago, he wanted to do something naughty. He looked up the stairs and imagined what could be up there. Who wanted to serve food to people when you could sneak into the Queen's room and steal a nice souveneir for Roxy? Maybe THEN she'd like him.

Tonks thought to himself how he'd accomplish this. In the corner of his eye, he saw Cash turn to talk to someone nearby. Now's my chance! Tonks twisted around and turned to the man who was standing behind him. This man was tall, thin, and had a face that said why-am-i-here-oh-yeah-i-wanna-steal-something. Tonks smiled at him. The man, breaking out of his trance, smiled back at Tonks.

"Hello." The man said.

"Hello" Tonks said, smiling his oddly seductive grin.

"So, you here to get something like i am?" The man asked. Right to the point. That's exactly how Tonks liked it.

"Why, yes i am" Tonks purred, looking down slightly and peering at the man with an upward angle.

"Perfect." The man bowed a little. "The name's Jarred. I'm here to get a good something, and you might be the perfect person to help."

Cash, overhearing this, twisted around, just in time to hear Tonks say "My name's Tonks. And so am i... and you."

Cash grunted. "Oh god, what are you doing NOW? Wasn't getting you to the castle enough to satisfy you?" Cash said in a grunting whisper.

Tonks smiled. "You know you'd like to get something out of this."

Cash was about to protest to any amount of stealing when images of riches flooded his head.

"How about it, sir?" Jarred asked with a grin. "Three's a perfect number."

Cash frowned as he internally debated. If he said yes, then they could grab something, run, and escape through the door which was only a few blocks from the castle. But if they were caught... off with thier heads. And if he said no, they'd end up waiting tables, or Tonks would run off on his own (and probably get killed in the process, not that he cared...), or Cash would go home empty handed from this annoyingly tiring trip. But if they didn't go steal... what do they have better to do? Clean the scraps of the rich?

Well, he COULD use a crown to wear around the house to prove he was the man of the house, not Dezzi.

"Count me in." Cash said, uncrossing his arms.

And so, the theivery begins...


And so... the next chapter will be up eventually. XD I have it mostly in my head. Lol. It gets really... interesting in the next chapter or so.
