"We're not here to start any trouble, _Mademoiselle_. We just-" Remy said as he held up his hands.
"Silence, male," The woman took out her sword and held it up. As if it wasn't enough that she had a sword,
the woman dwarfed Remy by at least two feet. These were not ladies he wanted to trifle with.
"Listen, we just want to get out of here. That's all. We're sorry if we trespassed or whatever," Molly said.
The redhead smirked at Molly. "Hmm. You are female, correct?"
"Yes," Molly said.
"Then you are welcomed as a guest. Your male-"
"My friend," Molly dared to correct the amazon.
"Your _pet_, as it seems, may stay under the condition that he cause no trouble and you keep an eye on him."
"Pet? I'm Your _pet_?" Remy said.
"Alright, but can you get us back to our home? We're from, uh, the surface," Molly said, pointing upwards.
"We can, but you should come with us for now. You look like you need to be refreshed, dear one," The woman brushed some hair out of Molly's face.
The other woman stood at attention as the redhead led the way and the two of them followed. Remy and Molly stared at the women in awe as they walked passed. They all looked like models given miracle-gro.
They walked through giant sized doors and into something out of a fantasy. White pillars everywhere. Green grass under their feet. A large indoor pond with a miniature waterfall to their right with lillypads in it. Further away they could see dwellings that were made of what looked like marble slabs. Trees here and there along with bushes and some topiaries. And there were women everywhere. Talking, running, playing, sparring, laughing and dancing. Some were even swimming in the many rectangular pools that dotted the grounds. Each one seemed more beautiful then the next, but they all seemed to mirror the same physical traits; enormously tall with slim bodies and very long legs. The smallest of them was probably seven feet tall, and the biggest was about ten feet tall. Their clothes resembled Grecian dress or they wore lion cloths and tops.
Molly slowed down and slid up next to Remy. "You'd better be on your best behavior or I'll kill you," She said through gritted teeth. Remy smiled. "Cherie, I wouldn't think of doing otherwise. Besides, I flirt with these femmes and I'm liable to get stepped on," He looked up to see that the women we're now watching the two of them with interest.
The woman-they assumed the amazon queen-led them to a large room that was filled with its own looking glass pool,
an oversized fainting chair, pillows and cushions everywhere, and a very big and comfy looking bed.
The queen stood in front of them. "My name is Titania. Welcome to my kingdom. You may rest here until we find a way to send you back to the surface. Pull the rope if you require anything and the help will attend to you. Now, how may we address you?"
"My name is Molly. My, uh, pet is named Remy," Molly said.
"Very well, Molly. A seamstress will be along in a moment to fashion you some proper clothing. I will check in on you later.
Good evening," Titania left the room.
"Give me some dignity cherie, please," Remy said to Molly, he then layed on a very large pillow. "Sorry. I think its just best to follow their rules while we're here," Molly looked around, "Jeez, everything's huge. Its like Jack and the Beanstalk or something."
"Well, yeah. I wonder how they got so big any way...and who they are. You're shivering, you alright?" Remy asked.
"J-just a little cold. That slope going d-down was k-kind of wet. Plus I'm i-in my b-bathing suit," Molly said, her teeth chattering.
Remy looked around for a blanket. He ran over to the bed and, with all his strength, pulled the huge comforter off.
He tried dragging it, but it was just too big and heavy. "I think you're going to have to come over here if you want to take the chill off," He said.
Molly rushed over, burying herself in the blanket. "Warm. Finally warm," She sighed. Remy smiled, then he realized that he felt a bit cold himself. "Scoot over," He grabbed some of the blanket and sat next to her. "Hey!" She smiled playfully as she gave him a gentle shove. "Hay is for horses, petite," Remy grinned. Molly scooted closer to him, putting her head on his shoulder. He was surprised by the action. "I'm really glad you're here, Remy. I won't have to go through this alone. We have each other," Molly smiled.
Now he had his chance. "Molly, there's something I gotta-"
Suddenly the doors burst open and a very excited looking seven foot tall blonde woman with blue eyes walked in carrying a pin cushion and material.
"Hello there! I'm Marina! It's so nice to meet you, new guest!" Marina said with a big smile.
Marina looked down and seemed surprised, "Oh. I was expecting someone normal sized."
Molly growled.
"Uh, I think she means normal sized for their world, cherie," Remy said in soft voice.
"Ah, and this must your pet the queen told me about," Marina reached out and gave Remy a pat on the head. "Actually,
He's my friend, and his name is Remy," Molly corrected.
"Friend. Right. We had better get started. Stand up so I can measure you," Marina said.
Molly gave Remy a look that said 'get out'.
"Okay, okay. I'm going," He went to stand outside. About ten minutes later Molly said he could come back in.
Marina left to sew Molly something else to wear.
"Thanks for waiting," Molly said.
"Sure. Though I wouldn't have been staring if you had let me stay. Or tell anyone your measurements if thats what you were worried about," Remy replied.
"Yeah, I know. I mean, I know I look really overweight, but I just wouldn't want everyone making fun of me for it.
I'm sorry I got touchy. I'm just really tired," She walked over and after a little effort, climbed into the huge bed.
Remy stared at her. Overweight? Sure, she wasn't stick thin, but he didn't see her as overweight.
"Molly, you don't look that way to me. I think you look really, uh, beautiful," He stumbled over his words.
Molly yawned, "Thanks Remy. That's nice of you to say. I'm gonna rest here for a minute and catch my breath.
You were right. It's been a long day."
Remy lay back on his pillow and sighed quietly. He thought she would get the hint if he went around calling her beautiful,
but apparently not. Now he had the perfect opportunity to tell her how much he liked her, but suddenly it didn't feel right.
They had both been through enough, and if he said it now it would be just awkward. 'Now that we've been captured by amazons and are just wearing our bathing suits, I wanted to let you know I have this big crush on you and that I've been staring at you all day in that red bikini.'
That would go over real well.
Remy sat up and looked at her. She seemed to be nodding off fast.
He decided sleep wasn't such a bad idea. Stretching and yawning he grabbed a big pillow and pulled it over himself for a make-shift blanket. In no time he was sleeping dreamlessly.
