You know what time it is? NEW CHAPTER TIME! I just posted this and I already have a new chapter ready (i'm a little proud) None of the characters belong to me (except the big bad guy) the all belong to their proper owners! N~JOY
After dropping little Finn off at his school, I walk into the guild. It's packed. Yeah there are always a lot of people there but today it was REALLY packed. I try to move through the crowd to see what they're all gaping at but failed. Before I really understand what's going on, two large hands wrap around my waist and lift me up.
"Can you see now?" Sam asks. Of Course it's that brute. People turn to look at us. It must been quite a sigh, seeing that they started. My face worms up from embarrassment.
"P-Put me down you overgrown ape!" I yell.
"See she can get her own boyfriend," I hear Jake laugh and Cake join him.
"NOW!" I yell louder, but Sam just smiles at me.
"Fionna, what are you doing," Pinn asks from the front of the room. He gives me the 'are you a child' look and it feels like my face is on fire.
"H-he, y-ou see, i can e-explain," I tumble over my words, but I don't get the chance.
"Please come up here," he sighs and Sam finally lets me down. I kick him in the shin before moving through the crowd, who all give me curious looks put part for me.
"Brother," I give him a slight bow, proper for meeting an older sibling, but i only do it in the guild when others are watching.
"You have a new contract," he gives me a fake smile and jesters to the three boys. I guess I didn't notice them before.
"What's the job?" I ask getting into the professional mode.
"You are to escort these three gentlemen to the next Kingdom and return them safely here," his smile seems stressed and eyes tired. "With a few companions to help," he fake a grin at the crowed. First time I notice they're all part of the guild. Our symbol (a bird in flight) hanging from necklace or earrings.
I give my brother a glance, questioning him with my eyes. My first job sounds a little suspicious. Sure I'm excited but I don't like the worry in my own brother's eyes.
"That is of course, that you and Sam are done acting like children," That was the end of my worries. The amusement in everyone eyes, pissed me off. They think I'm a child. I will be a full fledge member of the guild, even if it kills me.
"Yes, brother," I shot a poison glare towards Sam.
"Pick your team and meet me in my office," That was the end of that conversation, he turn and marched off to the back with the boys in tow.
I stand there dumbstruck for a moment but a cheer from the crowd wakes me up. Lots of pats on the back and good luck wishes from those of the guild. Even if the treated me like a child most of the time, we're like a big family.
"Looks like our baby girl is all grown up," Jake fakes a sniffle, and receives a smack upside the head from me. I scan over faces deciding who to take with me. That why they're all here, they hear that the baby of the guild was going on her first mission and all wanted to be with me, or Peppermint made cookies again. One or other.
"So who you gonna take?" Jake grins ear to ear.
"Well Cakes a shoe in and...maybe Bemo...or Mono...,"I press me finger to my chin in serious thought of who I should take. Going through all the info on guild member that i remember, I try to pick my team. Jake is quick and strong but annoying, Sam is strong and intelligent but annoying. I sigh, they're who i work with best though.
"You guys I guess," I feel like crying. Jake cheers and Sam smiles wide, Cake just shakes her head at the annoying boys.
"Let's go. Let's go," Jake practically jumps up and down the whole way to Pinn office. I knock and the door swings open.
"Fionna, good, but really? Jake?" Pinn scans over the group and smiles at my choices.
"We work well together, but he still annoying," I sigh and Jake acts like he's been insulted, i roll my eyes. "Can we get on with it, I don't wish to be in the same room as him too long," I joke.
"Yes, yes, well the thing is that I need you to take the uh," he clears his throat and chokes out a word, "prince," I don't think i heard him right.
"excuse me?" I ask, eyebrows raised, my teams mouth hanging open.
"Yes, I'm the fifth son of the Queen, Gumball" one of the boys finally speak up. He's cute with strawberry blond hair and soft green eyes. He doesn't really look like the crown prince.
"Why," I sigh. There's something definitely behind this. As my first outta city job this was a little extreme, not that I'm worried about my skills or anything, it's just i would like to know if my brother is sending me into a trap.
"It's good cover," he shrugs. "As your first mission, no one would suspect it to be this important, plus you're the guild leader's little sister so no one will wonder why you have extra people with you,"
I give my brother a dirty look, he doesn't flinch, just looks apologetic. "Alright then who are they," I ask never taking my eyes off Pinn.
"This is my personal body guard, Ignities, " He gestured to the red head next to him. Ignities straightens and bows. "And this is a noble, Marshall," The raven haired boy glances over, eyes wandering over my body. "He refuses to bring along a bodyguard, says there's no need," Gumball says with disgust.
"Alright then, I'm okay with this but it's up to my team if we take the mission," I turn Jake, Cake and Sam.
"I'm with you, Sweetie," Cake smiles
"Sounds fun," Jake puts an arm over my shoulder and laughs.
"Whatever you want, Bunny," Sam says eyeing Marshall, who raises an eyebrow at the nickname.
"Good," Pinn lets out a breath like he's been holding it this whole time.
"This is Cake, Jake and Sam," I say and remembering the last time I meet royalty I add "If you travel with us, you travel like us, that means no high and mighty act and if you treat one of us like a servant i'll break your fingers," I smile warmly at the three boys.
"Now, Fionna!" Pinn already all over my disrespect towards the prince, but the look i give him could kill and he shuts up fast. Knowing why I dislike royalty, and putting me in the situation he owes me, big time.
"Pack up, you have one hour, and only take what you can carry," I say, maybe a little too spiteful, at the royals.
"I'm already," Marshall nods his head at a backpack in the corner. I'm surprise he only took the necessaries.
"Good for you," I say sarcastically, "now you can wait till we're done," everyone turns to leave and head home to pack but before I can leave Pinn grabs my shoulder.
"Be nice, they're not the same," He says
"All royals are the same," I spat.
"No, and if you do this job well, there'll be more," He knows exactly how to get me to play nice. I nod reluctantly.
"Uh still here," Marshall's voice interrupts us, looking slightly awkward listening to us bicker back and forth.
"Yes, Marshall..." Pinn looks for a way to get rid of the boy, wanting him around as little as possible.
"You're with me," I sigh "but if you don't keep up I'm leaving you behind," Pinn gives me a grateful smile.
Thanks for reading another chapter! The reason Fionna hates royals will be explained soon! Any questions and/or comments don't hesitate to leave me a review! I will try to update soon.
