Queen Dagger: "I'm still hoping that i'll be able to continue on with this story without much trouble."
Suddenly a teddy bear walks in from out of nowhere.
Teddy Bear: "You better. And work on A Night to Remember as well."
Queen Dagger: "Oh great you're here. (to the audience) Yes I have a talking teddy bear. Unfortunate isn't it?"
Teddy Bear: "Deal with it."
Queen Dagger: "Oh yeah, and guess what? Today July 11 (7/11!) is my 15th birthday!"
Teddy Bear: "And guess where she went as a present? BUILD A BEAR WORKSHOP. ON HER FIFTEENTH BIRTHDAY.
HOW PATHETIC IS THAT?"
Queen Dagger: "HEY! I'm still a kid at heart!"
Teddy Bear: mumble mumble "Loser." --
Eiko's words suddenly came flooding back to Garnet, "Let's get this party started."
'Since when does Eiko refer to our visit to Marcus as a "party"?' Its not as if it was THAT spectacular.
I mean, sure we jeer at the worthless drunks that appear now and then, but its not much of a party type thing...' Garnet wondered to herself.
She then pushed the thought away as the boat jerked to a halt.
Garnet, Eiko, and Freya hesitated from leaping out of their imprisonments, and waited for the signal.
"All clear." Whispered Fratley.
"PHEW!" Said Eiko, immediately springing up and stepping out of her crate fast as if it were infected with posion ivy.
Freya followed, while Garnet rose out of the pickle bag.
"I just cannot stand the smell of ham!" Said Eiko, while dusting herself off.
Eiko was a vegetarian for as long as everyone could remember-it was because she was such a good friend of the moogles-furry little creatures, that to her resembled animals that are eaten for meals of delight.
Eiko spoke out her words of complaining a little to loudly, for then Fratley then shushed her angrily.
"SHHHHHHH! BE QUEIT! WE'RE NOT SAFE YET! THERE MAY STILL BE NIGHT SHIFT WORKERS OUT THERE!" He scolded crossly.
Eiko rolled her eyes. "Whatever Fratley."
"Hey!" Said Freya, defending her boyfriend of thirteen years(a/n: "I mean the amount of time they've been going out-not his age. :P.
"He has a right to be cautious. He cares about us." She gave Fratley a warm smile and giggled while she twirled strands of his hair with her fingers.
"Thats right." Said Fratley, trying to sound brave and manly as best as he could. "I'm a man. I risk my job just for the sake of one seriously hot girl."
Freya giggled again, and they enveloped in a long kiss.
"Ugh." Said Eiko, looking away in disgust.
Howerever Garnet had a different form of attitude taking place in her body-jealousy.
Garnet never had a boyfriend-never in her entire life.
This may be impossible to believe, since a five foot six (a/n: I changed her height. :P) with short dark hair, Garnet was considered a beauty and it was always suprising for people to discover that Garnet wasn't even ENGAGED yet.
Garnet was just not you're typical huge flirt around those of the opposite gender-she was just pretty shy around boys.
Ok, she does have to speak to other princes at royal dinners, but it is only because she is required to, and all she mostly says to them is:
"Prince so-and-so it is very nice to see you again. It has been some time." Or "Can you please pass the butter Prince (blank)." Or more frequently:
"No, I am sorry to say that I do not wish to dance with you right now Prince... But may I suggest that you try (other girl's name) she is actually quite fond of you..."
All citizens of Alexandria always imagined Garnet marrying a handsome prince, but when ever Garnet trying picturing her wedding ceremony of the future she always imagined it with a boy that was not involved with the hands of royalty at all.
It was very strange to Garnet, but she never once saw herself being with a fellow Prince. Not once.
But common boys couldn't even seem to talk to her without stuttering or sometimes blushing, never mind ask the lovely sixteen-year-old princess on a date.
'Its hopeless.' Garnet aslways told herself. 'By the time a boy does ask me out, I shall be toothless, and they'd only be requesting so because they'd get free cookies and milk from the kitchen. And the man would probably be a bald man with a big beer belly, and a good sense of dirty humor when he's drunk.'
Garnet sighed as she reminding herself this concept as Freya and Fratley continued their long kiss.
It was just to sickening for her to watch-she just had to look away.
Eiko finally wenched them apart.
"OK OK!" She said fusrtatedly. "Thats enough! Now come on Freya, or we're going to be late!"
"Good-bye my Sir Fratley!" Said Freya, reaching her hand out towards Fratley dramatically while Eiko lead her away.
Fratley responded by reaching his hand out, with his eyes full of fake longing.
"Farewell my dear mistress Freya!" He said sadly.
Garnet couldn't help but laugh.
"Thanks again." She said to Fratley. She handed him a small amount of silver objects from her dress pocket.
"There's twenty gil." SHe said. "Ten for now, the other ten for later. So we'll see you here later at midnight right?"
Fratley smiled. "Sure thing Garnet. Thanks a lot. You're money is what makes sneaking you guys through worth it."
Garnet beamed happily.
"COME ON GARNET!" Called Eiko. "Quit flirting with Fratley and hurry up!"
Freya then spun around towards Garnet's direction.
"HUH? WHAT! WHO'S FLIRTInG WITH FRATLEY!" She asked, angerily.
"Nobody Freya. Chill. Just a joke." Said Eiko, in her "whatever" tone.
Garnet then blushed as she ran after them.
"Have a good time!" Called Fratley. "I love you Freya!"
As Garnet finally caught up with her two best friends, she took notice to the direction to which they were heading.
It was the complete opposite from where Marcus' theatre tavern was.
"Um hey guys?" Asked Garnet, clearly confused. "Isn't the theatre tavern the other way?"
Eiko rolled eyes and gave out a large exhaled breath.
"Oh Garnet, Garnet." She said. "We're getting older you know-I mean you're almost seventeen, and you haven't been to one party yet!"
So?" Said Garnet, totally not caring for this shared fact. "You know that i'm not fond of stupid teen getogethers where boys flirt pervertedly and girls wear revealing clothes and-"
"And so." Said Freya, cutting her off. "We decided to bring you to you're own very first party!"
"What!" Said Garnet, enraged as she jerked to a stop.
Freya and Eiko stopped along with her.
"You guys seemed to have failed to inform me about this suprised plan!" Said Garnet angrily through gritted teeth.
"Hey! Its a suprise!" Said Freya as she ushered Garnet forward.
"AND YOU ARE..." Said Eiko, working to move Garnet along with Freya after Garnet refused. "GOING!" She said.
They then neared to a door of a large house, and they quickly opened the door and shoved Garnet inside before she could protest.
Eiko and Freya then followed.
Queen Dagger: "Yep thats it! Yes I know it was short. Now for the next chapter..."
