This isn't one of my best chapters and I think my first chapter was way better than this one, but for now I suppose this will have to do. For some reason I don't think I caught the character's personality as good this time since it has been a while. Please review and tell me how this chapter went though! Also I revised the first chapter and edited out all the mistakes. I don't think I added anything too major, just added an extra sentence somewhere. Well, on with the story!


Chapter 2

"Henry?" The small brunette suggested as I nodded my head in disappointment. Bee scrunched up her face as she thought harder.

"Marco?" She said as she walked slightly faster to spin around and face me. She started walking backwards as I nodded no once more. While Bee was deep in thought, I watched for her safety before she accidentally rams into things.

"Jacob?" Another suggestion popped out as I sighed. We'll never find the right name.

We continued our journey as Bee spat more and more names while I rejected them. Soon she started to run out of ideas as I guided her around a group of humans. It's ridiculous that she absolutely will not to around to talk to me. If I wasn't here she surely would have fallen by now. How did I maintain her as an animal?

We made it to the outskirts of a small town that was filled with tiny shops of all varieties. There were café's, furniture stores, small libraries, and knick knack shops. Quite fascinating to say the least.

I peered into some windows as Bee was still calling out names while I ignored her. Seeing all of the neat trinkets was a nice change of scenery for myself, though Bee could learn to take in the scenery as well. I stared confused at the blabbering female. A muffled jingle filled my ears. Reaching into my pants pocket, I took out my small bell as it zapped Bee and I into Tempbot's realm. For the first time in forever, I was back on a job as myself.

"Oh my… Puppycat is that you?" The robotic voice asked as he turned his face upside down on the screen

"Of course it is. Now just get on with what we have to do." I snapped at Tempbot then mumbled, "Then I can get my leather jacket with the extra money…"

"That's definitely you. Alright then, I have a job for you both on a crystal island. I'll give you both your uniform assignment." Tempbot explained then opened his mouth as a bright light engulfed our bodies

I appeared with a white tailored coat with a high collar, epaulets, elbow patches while the trim was black around some areas. The pants matched the upper attire perfectly but oddly enough the suit looked slightly familiar. Twisting around trying to remember where I've seen this suit from, Bee wore a flowing dress and a weird ribbon that flowed from the top and wrapped around her. This looks really familiar…

We entered Tempbot's mouth to the planet as he explained our orders, "There is a garden within this deserted planet, for some odd reason it's special so all you need to do is just water it a little. Nothing you guys can't handle. Just go straight ahead past the palace and you'll find it blossoming with roses."

Tempbot went dormant and we were off to water a garden. Nothing special but the place…

"Well come on Puppycat!" Bee exclaimed excitedly as I snapped out of it, "You are kind of human, you can walk faster now!"

Before I knew it, I was being tugged by Bee on a deserted planet. Her outfit. She almost resembled…

"Oh my gosh!" I heard her screams tear me from my thoughts once again, "There it is!"

Bee took off towards the large rosebushes as she stared at them with awe. I slowly approached the garden only to realize I knew this place. Frantically scanning the area, it was exactly where I thought we were. I started to panic and felt distressed as the memories flooded my head. The princess, the stone, the king. The princess. She… betrayed me.

I felt a hand land on my shoulder as I came out of my trance. My attention landed on the girl I knew so well but resembled her while my expression took a downfall. Knowing deep inside it was a person who cared for me I still couldn't stand her, the resembling the person I knew who manipulated me. Pushing back my feelings, I walked within the garden and looked around. Years had taken its toll on this beautiful garden.

"Puppycat!" I heard Bee call out as I tried to ignore all the painful recollections. Stepping closer to the brunette, she picked up something red that glistened in the sunlight.

"Check it out!" She said excitedly as she examined the crystal, poking it all over. Suddenly a hologram popped out of the odd crystal. It showed a guy dressed like me as it played the story I told to Wallace long ago.

It read:

"Once upon a time… there was a space outlaw. Who had fallen in love with the space king's daughter. They had both agreed they were meant to be together. The princess decided to run away with him…"

"Puppycat!" Bee exclaimed waving the crystal frantically in my face, "It's your story!"

"So it would seem…" I replied slowly as the crystal continued its tale.

"and planned to meet at their favorite meadow before they escaped. However, it was a trap. The Princess had lied and the outlaw was surrounded by the King's army of warlocks. Filled with anger from her betrayal, the magic that was meant to trap the outlaw instead transformed him into a monster, and he escaped…"

I looked at Bee who had a puzzled expression.

"So the princess lied to the outlaw, huh..." The brunette stated as I turned to leave and finish the mission at hand

"However, the monster landed on a planet with a kind and caring girl. She would help the monster feel love once more and undo the curse once and for all. For once the monster turned back to his true form, he must find love to release him from the curse's grasp around his heart. Only then will he stay in his beloved form and overcome the thorns that have pierced his heart for years."

Turning surprised by the outcome of the story, I questioned if that was actually true.

"Heh," Bee started as she stowed the crystal away in her pocket, "different ending from yours Puppycat. I told you I could help you find a better ending for it."

I stared at the girl who still did not grasp the concept. She did not understand I was the monster and the fairy tale was actually true. If the ending to this tale is true, I must find this love it speaks of…

We finished watering the rose garden as the place seemed to light up. I turned to leave the meadow as Bee picked up her pace to catch up to me. Thinking about the crystal's ending, how am I supposed to decipher what it means? True love?

After the things I've been through, I don't believe true love exsists.

"Wanna go get some burgers after this?" I heard Bee suggest as we exit the planet and zapped back to Earth

"After my leather jacket." I state as the money falls into my hands. I take a small portion of it and hand Bee the rest.

"Awe, and you'll look so cute too!" Bee yells as she drags me into a nearby store
