Hey! Very late, as usual! I seem to get a new review on this story everyday saying stuff like, "It's so sweet!" "This is adorable!" "Please make more!"
So, even though I was completely out of ideas, I figured I had to post something. They'll get better, I promise! This is kind of a prequel to Teep's Excellent Plotting. Review please, and I hope you enjoy! (I've implied that Rythian can understand what Teep's saying just by his eyes. Just pretend!)
He heard a voice talking, penetrating the silence that followed the battle. It grew louder as it grew nearer, calling out to "Teep" and commenting on the state of the castle. He knew that voice.
That voice, it was all that mattered. In that moment he felt more joy then he thought possible. But no. This had to be some kind of dream, something he was imagining. Yet the voice sounded so real. He wanted more than anything for this to be real, for that voice to be who he thought it was.
"Z-Zoey?" He called out in a wavering voice, not daring to believe it as he came to the edge of the roof and peered down.
It was her. It was really her. She looked different, with a yellow streak in her hair and tattoos on each arm. Her red hair tumbled loosely down her back, and her blue eyes sparkled behind her blingin' glasses.
Basically, she was beautiful.
"Rythian!" She said, and that moment he knew everything was okay. The castle was in ruin, but his life was intact once again.
The rest of the afternoon was a blur. She demanded to know what had happened to the recently damaged Blackrock Hold, and then declared that they were going to get back at the "Enderbabe". He just smiled and agreed as she continued talking.
Later, after Zoey had gone to bed and he was about to follow suit, Teep knocked on his bedroom door. When he opened the door the dinosaur stepped inside and fixed him with an accusatory stare.
"What do you want Tee?" Rythian asked. Teep continued to look at him. Rythian shook his head.
"No, of course I don't, that's completely ridiculous." Teep's eyes said he didn't believe him.
"Really, I swear! Why would I?" Teep glared at him. He continued to glare until Rythian sighed. "Alright, I like Zoey."
Teep growled.
"Fine, I love Zoey."
Teep rolled his eyes.
"What?" Rythian asked. Then, "No, of course I'm not going to tell her! have you lost your mind?"
Teep rolled his eyes again and pointed at Rythian.
"I don't care! I'm not doing something stupid like that!" Rythian said. Teep sighed like he was going to drop the matter, but as he turned to leave Rythian saw the message written in his eyes that this wasn't over. He watched as the dinosaur closed the door behind him and disappeared down the hall.
Teep rolled his eyes as he walked down the hall and towards the stairs. He had a lot of work to do.
