Chapter 4 Curiouser, Curiouser
Bonnie's POV
We walked to the small village and I saw a tree woman standing by the entrance. Marie ran towards her.
"Marie! Don't go running off like that!" The woman said. Tyler and I got close to them and she noticed us.
"Tyler! Good to see you."
"I see that you're back from your trip yesterday, Mrs. T" Tyler said.
"Oh, who is she?" She asked and I jumped a little when she looked at me.
"She's just a friend of mine. I just want to show her around." I saw her smirked.
"Well, don't go running in to trouble." She said as she left with Marie. I was puzzled and a little suspicious about that woman.
"So here she is." Tyler said and looked at the village. It was pretty decent for a village. They were all living in peace. I could see small tree children running around and some houses.
"How long was it when you found this village?" I asked, curious of Tyler's life
"I was just 18 when I found this village." He said as he waved to the tree people we pass by.
"Do you stay here?"
"No, I have my own place." We stopped by a cabin.
"Come on in" He said and we both entered the cabin. It looks so cozy in the inside.
"I come by here during the day just to check up on the village. Sometimes, I would just find time to leave and explore the land of Ooo." He said. I saw a shelf with books. They were all science books, specifically astronomy.
"Why do you have these?" I asked him.
"From time to time I study the universe. I just borrowed it from Turtle Princess." He said but I heard him mutter to himself.
"They lack information" He said. I was confused at what he said. Then we heard a knock coming from the door. Tyler opened it and revealed a tree man.
"Come, we have prepared a feast for you." He said, Tyler turned to me and smiled.
"Let's go" He said as we went to the center of the village. I saw a huge table made out of wood and a feast. It seems like everyone is joining in for lunch. Tyler sat at the edge of the table and I sat next to him. He smiled and I smiled back then he stood up and caught everyone's attention.
"Let us all acknowledge the presence of the Princess herself, Princess Bubblegum of Candy Kingdom, who came to us today." Tyler said. Everyone rejoiced and I was a little embarrassed at what he just did. He sat back down and I lightly punched him in the arm. He smiled at me.
"What was that for? I don't need formalities you know" I told him.
"Well, a Princess should be treated like a Princess should" I rolled my eyes and eat. After lunch we helped some of the tree citizens. Then night came. Tyler and I went back to the edge of that cliff.
"Thanks Tyler" He looked at me and smiled.
"I should be the one thanking you. They were really happy you know?" I chuckled.
"They're special. They're not like any normal trees. Even though they are small, they treat and respect each other well." He said, I looked at him and he was smiling. He turned to me and I saw sadness in his eyes.
"Do you ever wish to go back to your home?" I asked him. He looked the other way.
"I don't have to." I wanted to ask him again but I was hesitant. We just gazed at the stars for a while before returning to the kingdom. We bid each other goodbye and I went to my chambers. I took my notes and started scribbling down the information I have just learned.
Tyler, such a mysterious figure who likes astronomy, adventures, and takes care of a village. I saw his desk earlier piled up with paper. I think he does research. More importantly, what he said earlier. He said that the books he borrowed lack information about astronomy. What is he trying to prove anyway? As a scientist, I would say that the books are pretty useless to be used for research. It would be best if you observed it yourself.
I am also observing myself as well. I realized that it was just the 2nd day for me to meet him and I am starting to feel comfortable around him. Better yet, I start finding him interesting. Typical, I need more information that's one. But his whole life story is something to be unfold. I'm never like this to a guy. Tyler, what are you doing to me?
