Shadowkitten: As promised, I have updated. No one reviewed, but that's okay. By the way I changed the cover art. It is some fan art from sonicscrystalauraangel for this fanfiction. Awesome right?
But anyways, lets get on with the story shall we?
When Blade had offered to go into town to get the gardening supplies, he hadn't expected this...
People ran around like headless chickens going to who-knows-where. All around were eating establishments and shops for odd looking trinkets, and everyone was talking into what looked like compact mirrors...
"My God how society has changed..." muttered Jester. He was then bumped into by a man from behind.
"Yeah sorry honey... just crashed into some weird street performer..." he said as he continued on his way.
"Why I never-!"
"Don't worry about it Jester, humans just seem to have gotten worse while we've been at the inn..."
"Hmph!"
"Anyways, we need to find the gardening shop and find the supplies for Tunneler. Split up and ask around. We meet back here in 10 minutes..."
"Got it."
"Agreed."
As Blade walked around, people stared at him. Was it the silver white hair of his? Probably. Did he care? Nope.
Seeing a flicker of something in an ally. He looked again. It was a little girl. She was crying and people were just passing her by.
'I shouldn't get involved... but she's probably lost...'
"Sigh..."
Walking towards her he said "Are you lost?"
She turned. "Hic... Mommy told me not to talk to strangers..."
Blade turned, "Suit yourself..."
"Wait! Mommy disappeared and I can't find her... Can you help me? Please!"
"What's your mommy look like?"
"She's tall and has black hair. Her eyes are blue..."
"Where did you last see her?"
She pointed to a building across the street.
"I'll help you find her... C'mon..."
Leading the little girl out of the ally, he started his search.
Seeing a woman matching the description, somewhat, he walked up to her.
"Ma'am, is this your little girl?"
"No sir."
'That's one down... a thousand more to go...'
"Mister... that's not my mommy..."
"Sorry..."
"It's okay... Mommy says we all make mistakes..."
"Your mommy sounds like a nice person..."
That made her smile. "She is! I love my mommy..." then she started to tear up again.
"Hey calm down..." He pulled out a handkerchief from his coat and handed it to her. "We'll find her, so don't cry..."
"Promise?"
"Promise. Now what is your name?"
"Anna Lee..."
"Alright Anna Lee, let's check out that store okay?"
Walking into the store he told her to stay by the front door and told her to stay put. He then walked up to the counter and tapped the cashier. She seemed distraught about something.
"Miss, I found a missing girl. Can you help?"
"Huh? I'm sorry."
"I found a little girl. Can you call for the mother of Anna Lee on the megaphone?"
"I-i have a daughter named Anna Lee! Where is she?!"
"She's by the front door."
The woman ran to the location where her daughter was with Blade close behind.
After a tearful reunion, the woman turned to Blade.
"Is there any way I can repay you?"
"...Can you tell me where the Gardening shop is?"
"Of course! It's right down Risedorph street which is two blocks that way." She then pointed in an eastern direction.
"Thank you."
"Bye Mister!"
"Where is he? It's been twenty minutes..." Muttered Jester.
"It is most unlike him to be late..." Added Pinhead.
Looking around they saw Blade crossing the street.
"My apologies... I found it."
"Let's go then!"
-Hours later-
Walking in the front of the inn, Blade glanced around for Brandi. He quickly dashed to the garden with a particular bag in tow.
Only to see her standing there in regular clothing that was coated in dirt...
"Hello Mr. Hess. I'm glad that your back! We started on the digging so we'd be set up for tomorrow and it's almost lunch time-... Is that what I think it is?"
Glancing down, he noticed the blue water lilies could be seen through the bag.
"...Yes..."
"Did you pick those out for me?"
"I... m-maybe..."
She smiled. Then she kissed his cheek.
"Thank you."
Shadowkitten: Had to add some fluff for fillers. Honestly I thought it was cute. But I can change it later if it was TOO fluffy...
Please review and let me know what you think.
