The Little Fairy
Chapter 3: A Dreamer's Wish
"I just don't know what to do with you, young lady." King Vegeta sighed angrily.
"Daddy, I'm sorry. I just forgot. I…" Bloom tried to explain, but she didn't get a change.
"As a result of yours careless behaviour…" Vegeta said.
"CARELESS AND RECKLESS BEHAVIOUR!" Knuckles shouted.
"…the entire celebration was…"
"RUINED!" COMPLETELY DESTROYED!", Knuckles cut in once again. He gave out a big sigh, "This concert was to be pinnacle of my wonderful career. NOW THANKS TO YOU, I'M THE LAUGHNINGSTOCK OF THE ENTIRE MAGIX!"
Shippo couldn't stand to watch his best friend getting blamed on anymore, so he decided to defend her.
"But it wasn't her fault!" then he realized he had just almost shouted at the king. He chuckled sheepishly, "Well, first, this troll chases us. Yeah! And we tried to, but we couldn't…and it was like GGGRRR, and we were like WOAH. And then we were safe. But then the alien came, it was "this" is this and "that" is…" Shippo noticed his mistake too late, and covered his mouth.
"Alien? You went to the boarder of Magix, didn't you?" Vegeta demanded.
"Well…nothing happened." Bloom explained.
"Bloom, how many times must we go through this? You could have been seen by one of those barbaric humans!" Vegeta shouted.
"Daddy, they're not barbarians!" Bloom argued.
"They are dangerous! Do you think I wanna see my youngest daughter captured by those humans?"
"I'm 16 years old! I'm not a child anymore!" Bloom shouted.
"Don't take that tone of voice with me, young lady! As long as you live in my kingdom, you obey my rules!" Vegeta scolded her.
"But if you'd just listen…"
"NOT ANOTHER WORD! And I am never, NEVER, to hear you going to the boarder again! IS THAT CLEAR?" Vegeta shouted.
Tears welled up in Bloom's eyes. She flew out of the room, Shippo behind her.
Knuckles scoffed. "Teenagers! They think they know everything. You give them an inch, they'll fly all over you!"
Vegeta signed, already feeling bad about the argument. "Do you think I was too hard on her?" he asked.
"Absolutely not! Why, if Bloom was my daughter, I'd show her who is the boss. None of this "flying to the boarder" and other nonsense." Knuckles answered.
"You're right, Knuckles!" Vegeta said.
"Without a doubt." Knuckles smirked.
"Bloom needs constant supervision." Vegeta stated.
"Constant!" Knuckles added.
"And you!", Vegeta pointed his finger at Knuckles, "are just the echidna to do it."
Knuckles's expression went blank, and he could practically feel his soul coming out of his body.
"How on Earth do I get myself in these situations?", Knuckles muttered to himself, "I should be writing symphonies, not babysitting some head-strong teenager."
Then, he saw Bloom and Shippo leaving the palace. They both looked cautious, as if not wanting anyone to follow them.
"What is that girl up to?" Knuckles wondered as he started to follow them.
Bloom and Shippo flew further and further away from the palace and Crystal City. Soon, they reached the boarder of Magix. Knuckles saw how Bloom and Shippo stopped in front of a cave right next to the boarder. They moved a huge rock from the entrance and got in.
Knuckles hurried towards the rock, barely getting in. He looked around the cave, and what he saw made his gasp. The gave was filled with human's stuff. All kinds of items were laying on the shelves. Knuckles hid himself within all the stuff. Then he noticed Bloom.
Bloom was sitting on a small rock on the floor. Her face looked sad as she held the fork in her hand. Shippo looked concerned, as he watched his friend.
"Bloom, are you okay?" he asked.
"If only I could make him understand.", Bloom sighed sadly, "I just don't things the way he does. I don't see how world that makes such wonderful things, could be bad?" she said and started to sing:
"Look at this stuff. Isn't it neat?
Wouldn't you think my collection's complete?"
(Bloom placed the fork on a candelabrum)
"Wouldn't you think I'm the girl?
The girl who has everything?"
(She looks around her cave)
"Look at this trove, treasures untold.
How many wonders can one cavern hold?
Looking around here you'd think:
Sure, she's got everything"
(Bloom flew to see all kinds of working tools)
"I've got gadgets and gizmos of plenty.
I've got whozits and whatzits galore."
(She shows Shippo a box filled with corkscrews)
"You want thingamabobs?
I got twenty.
But who cares? No big deal.
I want more."
(Knuckles raises an eyebrow at this. While Bloom watches a music box with a man and woman dancing. She twirls them around)
"I wanna be where the people are.
I wanna see, wanna see them all dancing.
Walking around on those…
What do they call them?"
(Shippo shows his feet)
"Oh, feet.
"By flapping your wings, you don't get too far.
Legs are required for jumping, dancing."
(Bloom and Shippo "dance" together)
"And strolling along down a…
What's that word again?"
Street!"
(Bloom holds Shippo's hand, while she flies towards the cave's roof)
"Over there where they walk,
Over there where they run,
Over there where they stay all day in the sun!
Wandering free, wish I could be
part of that world!
"What would I give,
if I could live out of these skies?
What would I pay,
to spend a day warm on the sand?"
(She and Shippo land, and act as if they were sunbathing until Bloom sits up sadly)
"Bet'cha in that world, they understand.
That they don't reprimand their daughters.
Bright young women, sick of flying,
ready to stand!"
(Bloom flies over to a high shelf and pick up a book. She starts flipping through the pages)
"And ready to know what the people know.
Ask them my questions and then get some answers.
What's a fire, and why does it…
What's the word?
Burn!
When's it my turn?
Wouldn't I love?
Love to explore that world over there!"
(Bloom flies over to the roof of the cave and reaches out a small hole)
"Out of this sky"
(Shippo watches her sadly, as she floats back to the small rock. Bloom watches up)
"Wish I could be,
part of that world"
As Bloom finished her song, Knuckles stepped forward so he'd have a better view. But he accidentally stepped onto a ball and fell. He crashed into a Chinese gong, which flew him into a treasure chest. The crash caused the chest to feel down.
Bloom and Shippo looked at this direction and gasped. Knuckles was lying on the ground, covered in jewelry and had a pipe on his mouth.
"Knuckles!" Bloom gasped. Knuckles spat the pipe out of his mouth and stood up.
"Bloom, what is all this?" Knuckles snapped.
"It's a…it's just my collection." Bloom smiled sheepishly.
"Oh, I see. Your collection." Knuckles said with a smile. And awkward silence filled the cave. "IF YOUR FATHER KNEW ABOUT THIS…!"
"You're not gonna tell him, are you?" Shippo yelped, getting close to Knuckles's face.
"Please, Knuckles. He wouldn't understand." Bloom pleaded.
Knuckles gave out a big, long sigh."Kid, you've had a rough day. Let's go home and have some strawberry milkshake." he took Bloom's hand and tried to lead her out of the cave.
Suddenly Bloom saw a shadow passing over the cave, followed by loud noise and flashing colors. She looked over the boarder, seeing it was a huge cruiser passing the ocean in the human world.
"Woah, just look at THAT!" She gasped as she flew towards the cruiser.
"Bloom? BLOOM!" Knuckles shouted, but it was too late. Bloom had already passed the boarder between Magix and humans.
None of the three friends knew that destiny was about to have it's way in their adventure…
…To Be Continued…
EvilBunny91: Man, that song was hard to write! It might not make sense at some points, but it's the best I could do. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter. Please R&R!
