Keira was gradually slowing in speed as her panic ebbed way, her deep purple wings coming back to her control. She kept looking around for someone else, anyone that could let her know what time it was. Suddenly, she saw a man she was extremely happy to see. "Errol! Oh, thank goodness!"
Errol stopped his Flut-flut bird, and turned in the direction of her voice. "Aren't you supposed to be getting ready for our wedding?" He asked, skipping a greeting like he always did.
"I wi- I am!" Keira defended herself. She looked down at her craft, and gasped. "Oh! Wait! I have something for you!" She flew down toward him, gaining speed.
"Well, aren't you the sweetest- WOAH!" He ducked as Keira flew past him into the thick brush. He looked at where she disappeared in bewilderment. "Keira, you're in a bunch of plants."
"You can't look at me! I forgot! Bad luck on our wedding day." Keira teased, and Errol rolled his eyes.
"Well, too bad you can't see me." He slicked back his fire-orange hair. "My hair is doing that thing we both love." He looked down at a branch on the ground that just didn't quite belong. He reached to pick it up, and immediately dropped it when he felt the tingling in his hand. "YOU WERE IN THE WASTELAND!" Errol angerly accused, making a half-hearted attempt to sound concerned.
"No!" Keira denied. "Maybe... Yes.." She finally admitted.
"You-you could have been killed!" Errol ran into the brush to check her for injuries, but she kept out of his sight.
"Don't look!"
"Or worse! Seriously disfigured!"
"HEY!" Keira sounded mildly offended as she flew into a tree with leaves bigger then her entire body."I can take care of myself."
"That is no place for a princess!" Errol stated in all seriousness, opening his yellow wings to follow after her.
"Oh yeah?" Keira took on a teasing tone. "Well, what about a princess that can do this!" She reached out and grabbed the hilt of his sword. She drew it from its sheath and swung it around, not really paying attention to where she was swinging.
"OH, look who's the big girl. You got a sword." Keira attempted to bring it over her head, but her wings lost her balance and she dropped the sword to keep it. Errol looked up just in time to catch the sword before it fell to the ground.
"Yeah, but, I don't need a sword!" Keira was now defiant and confident. "Because when I rule this kingdom, I'll go into that Wasteland to talk to them! To make it so that at long last we aren't scared anymore!" She stated as she flew higher and higher.
"That is so sweet." Errol drawled, not really paying attention.
"And then we can all go anywhere we want. To have fun, to see things, to have adventures!" Keira exclaimed, landing on a thick branch near the top of the tree. Errol flew up and landed a branch below her.
"I'll be your adventure." Errol said seductively. Keira layed back on the branch with a dreamy sigh. "Come on, Keira." Errol reached for her hand. "My future queen."
"Awe." Keira said in a dreamy state. "My future king."
"Yeah, KING!" Errol said in his own fantasy. "I'll have an army!" He pulled out his sword and pretended to fight off some imaginary enemies.
"Yeah.. Wait what?" Keira came out of her dream-scape with abrupt uncertainty.
"To protect Haven City!" Errol quickly covered for himself. "And you, my little buttercup." Keira sighed dreamily again. "Now go get yourself all prettified," Keira looked a little hurt, that he didn't think she was pretty already. "today has got to be perfect."
"Chipper!" He called to his flut-flut as he mounted it. "Lets ride!" He sped away, and Keira sighed dreamily AGAIN as she watched him leave. She didn't notice someone calling her name, and getting closer.
"KEIRA!" Someone screamed almost right in her ear. It was her sister Tess. Her pink wings as much of an unusual color as her sisters purple ones. "Remember the wedding!?"
"I know." Keira replied, trying not to be mad at the fact that Tess had yelled in her ear.
"We have to get ready."
"I know."
"We have much time!"
"I know.." Keira was very quickly losing her patience.
"WHAT IS WITH YOUR HAIR!?" Tess almost screamed again, grabbing Keiras chin and bringing her forward. Keira wretched away from her sister.
"I KNOW!"
Suddenly, Tess did scream. Keira cringed, ears ringing. "What is that?!" She yelled in horror, pointing at the 'thing' in Keiras hand.
"A boutonniere." Keira stated as if Tess was a moron for not knowing what it was. "OH! I forgot to give this to Errol!"
"You can't give him that!"
"Why not?"
"Uhh, he's too good looking." Tess stated, copying Keiras tone from before.
"Yeah." Both sisters sigh dreamily, dramatically falling back and drifting on their wings.
"I'll fix that." Tess claimed as she took the boutonniere from her sisters hands. She pulled some other floral arrangements from the ground to fix it up.
"Thanks sis... Tess?" Keira suddenly asked, very worried. "Do you think Errol loves me as much as I love him?"
"Oh Keira," Tess sighed, mildly sympathetic. "How could he not love you? You're so- totally- lovable!" She exclaimed, not quite knowing how to describe her sister.
"Really?"
Tess motioned one hand to Keiras' appearance. "I wish you could see how you look." Then she pulled the boutonniere out into Keiras' view. It was now predominantly red and yellow. Keira gasped.
"It's perfect."
"You're welcome!" Tess called as she entered Keiras', preparing to prepare her for the wedding.
"I wanna give this to him now!" Keira smiled and already started away.
"Isn't it bad luck-" Tess turned and saw Keira already leaving. "if he sees you.."
Oh I can't help
Falling in love with you
"Uh-oh.." Tess shook her head, letting it fall into her hands.
Errol was at a calm part of the river, admiring his reflection.
As the river flows
Journey to the sea
Darling so it goes
Somethings are meant to be
Some things are meant to be~ee~ee
Take my hand
(Oh take my hand)
Take my whole life too
(Take my whole life too)
For I can't help
(I can't help)
Falling in love with you
(Falling in love)
Oh I can't help it
I can't help it
No I can't help it
I can't help it
No I can't help
(No, no I can't help)
Falling in love
"Errol!" A feminine voice called. Keira turned just in time to see a young she-elf with green wings attack Errol in a hug. He swings her around with an amused and happy laugh, before pulling her into a passionate kiss. Keira's eyes widened at the display of affection. Errol was never that way with her, so obviously he didn't love her as much as she had hoped. She turned away from the scene, looking at the boutonniere in her hands. She glared and crushed it, before tossing it to the ground and taking off, tears streaming down her face and sobs forcing their way from her throat. Errol, turned at the noise, and saw Keiras unique purple wings flying away. He sighed and released his hold on the other girl.
"I am so... not getting my army."
