"Yeah, and then the dog goes, Roof, roof."

Gregor couldn't help chuckling at Luke. The kid was a comedian! Now, with a full belly, surrounded by friends, he couldn't help letting his mind drift. It landed on his least favorite thought. Underland. The memories were burned into his skull, a searing pain that no matter what would never, ever leave.

Underland led him to remember his old friends. The ones who he had fought alongside, and sometimes against. Then his mind landed, and stuck, on one person. Luxa. After all these years he realized that, he still felt something for her, a small yearning. Not like what had plagued him when he had left. No, and the more he thought about it, the less powerful it became. He didn't understand.

"Hey Gregor, this is fun, should we do this again, say next week?" Gregor looked up. Lily and the rest of the group were staring at him. "Yeah, how about Saturday?" The replies came almost immediately. "Sure." "Yeah." "I'll be there."

Gregor stood up and turned to leave. As he reached the door he felt a hand on his shoulder. The rest of the group filed out the door. Lily looked into Gregor's near black eyes. She leaned forward and kissed him on the cheek before smiling and walking out the door as well. Gregor stood in that spot until the clerk asked him to move so he could sweep the floor.

Gregor was stunned. His shocked face suddenly took on a huge grin.

Underland

Smack!

George stumbled backward under the force of the blow. "Ow!" He stared at the Queen. "You struck me. You struck your fiancé!"

"You may be my fiancé you worthless pup, but that doesn't mean I have to treat you like it!" Snarled Luxa. George stepped back, but he was trapped in the Royal bedroom. Luxa lashed out again, this time taking out one of his knees.

The council member fell to the ground. "Guards!" He yelled. "Take Queen Luxa to the dungeon." The guards hesitated. Everyone knew that Luxa had a tendency to beat on George, but this was a whole new level. Finally one of them stepped forward and gabbed Luxa by the arm.

They escorted her out of the room, careful not to come within range of possible elbowing. Luxa didn't resist, and went almost happily with the guards. When they finally reached the cell, the guards on duty glanced over but didn't make any noise. They shoved Luxa into a stone chamber then slammed the door shut.

The young queen waited for the steps to disappear then started tapping on the wall. She waited a minute then heard returning taps. "Can I come out Helix?" Luxa had tapped. "Why are you in your under-cloths?" was Helix's reply. Luxa spent a whole three minutes responding. "It was George, again! He approached me in the hall then forced me to make out. My hormones were activated and I couldn't resist. Next thing I know my top garments were off and I was lying on my bed!" Helix didn't reply for so long that Luxa doubted he had heard. Finally, "Ok, I'll get Merithyu and Michelle and we'll deal with him." Luxa sighed in relief. Then remembering her current predicament, "Get me out."

Minutes later Luxa was out and speaking with Helix and some of the other guards loyal to her. "Thank you Helix, yet again I am indebted to you." Helix smiled, then pointed at Luxa and opened his mouth to say something. "Are…" Luxa glared at him and he shut up. Merithyu handed her a spare chain link shirt and the queen gratefully put it on. At least mail was better than just a baracot. (Old fashion bra consisting of a leather band strung behind by some spider silk.)

Luxa made her way through the halls until she reached the Doctor housing. She found her cousin working busily over a patient with green cough. "Howard, I must converse with you, it is urgent." "Go away Luxa, I am busy can't you see!" Howard was the only one, save Helix, who would openly defy her and refer to her by her plain name, at all. "Howard, it has to concern the scout group that has just returned, one is badly injured!" Howard stopped and turned around. His eyes were ringed with fatigue and his neck had red spots on it, demonstration of how not to light a torch.

Luxa looked at her cousin, he looked ill, not surprising since he spent almost all day treating Green cough patients. Howard reluctantly followed her. Luxa lead him along hallways until they reached the royal chambers.

Luxa lead him inside. Then shoved him onto a bed. "Wait what!" Howard tried to get up but collapsed from exhaustion within thirty seconds. Luxa smiled then quietly left the room.
