AN: Wheee! My back hurts T^T
Disclaimer: I do not own ½ Prince. Yu Wo does. I do own all of my OC's, the southern continent, and the Lazy Bakery. Yeah, that's the name of my bakery. Awesome, ain't it? *sulks* Still haven't talked to Cati, Ging, or Lav…

I twirled my new arrows in my fingers expertly. I was always a fan at pen twirling.
I'm just happy to know I can apply my hard-earned skill with arrows.
So yes, I went all out and bought myself a new bow.
But this bow was really really special. I grinned wickedly, after I saw Cati gasp when she saw it in the shop window.
"This would be great for Sara…" she mused, forgetting my existence entirely.
After she had walked on, still forgetting me, I walked in to find out the bow costs a thousand…. Crystal coins. I nearly died.
Frankly, since I'm a money-saver, I had three thousand crystal.
What can I say? Maybe I have such high luck that bosses just keep rushing to see me?
I'm not very sure that's a good thing.
So anyway, I bought the bow. I was confused when no arrows came with it. So when I went to practice with it, I was quite surprised when it burned my fancy arrows to ash. A light bulb popped over my head. I stared at it before turning my attention to the bow. It looked like green glass. Malachite, maybe. There was a small shock when the bowstring was also glass. I twanged the glass string, finding it much more durable than my previous bow. I pulled back, and an arrow appeared. It was a beautiful glass arrow. Of course, it was also green. I mistakenly shot the arrow at an unlucky hawk.
Player Sara has defeated level 20 Hawk. Weapon Malachite level up.
A growing weapon?
Yeah, I was pretty surprised. Not only do I not need arrows, but it improves as I use it!
I never have to spend money on arrows again!
So here I am, twirling my green glass arrows ecstatically.
I summoned Kynsia before bringing up my stats.
…. I'm level forty? When did this happen?
I brought up Kynsia's stats and found she was level thirty-nine. Does she gain experience even in my inventory or something? That's pretty confusing.
My feet brought me to Ghoul's Rest again. I squinted at the gnarling trees before swatting away the irritating butterfly again.
It really should just leave my face alone! As I was swatting it away, I heard giggling behind me. I turned around, still swatting the butterfly, to see a dark elf. She had shoulder length dark blue hair. She had gathered some of her hair into a high tail and her bangs framed her face. Her eyes were gleaming silver (what is it with silver eyes?!) and she had purple tattoos that lined the bottom of her eyes and then made thick, curved lines on her cheek. Her left ear had a single feather earring that fell onto her hair. It looked like a hawk feather.
"Oh, hi there!" I called out, swatting the annoying butterfly. "Damn it, leave me alone!" I cried out. The butterfly hovered, seemingly smug that it caused me to yell at it again. Cati meandered into the area where we were, and gasped.
"Is that…. A super rare?!"
"I'm sorry, what?" I asked her.

"That butterfly is suuuper rare! It's the only one of its kind in the entire game! It changes continents every three days!"
"So, what's it do?" I said, unimpressed.
"It's a butterfly that if you catch, you can make it your pet. It's extremely hard to catch, though, since it doesn't like being around people…" She trailed off as I held out my hand and the butterfly sat on it. I cupped my hands around it and it sat compliantly.
"You were saying?"
"Oh yeah, well, this isn't an ordinary butterfly. It can cast spells." She said, dumbstruck I caught it so easily.
"I guess it likes me!" I giggled.
Notification: Player Sara has caught the rare butterfly. Player Sara gains pet. Please name your pet now.
"Ummm…." I went deep in thought. I can't name it irritating, that'd be just plain mean. Alright maybe Mynsia! I'm kidding.
"Sourire Bleu," I said, finally deciding on a name. Blue Smile in French. How cute! I may not know French, but working at Lazy Bakery did teach me how to say 'smile,' and I already knew bleu from my long ago and long forgotten French classes in middle school.
Notification: Pet naming successful. Player Sara has received pet 'Sourire Bleu.'
I brought up my stats and gawked. The butterfly was level 90! What is this?! Sourire can still level up and learn new abilities, apart from the ones it already has.
"What gender are you, anyway?" I asked Sourire, not expecting an answer.
"I'm female. What, you expect such FABULOUS wings from a male? Don't be ridiculous!" I looked at Cati and the dark elf.
"Did either of you just talk right now?" I asked skeptically. It didn't sound like either of their voices, even though I haven't heard the dark elf talk.
"Huh, well I guess being a talking butterfly IS a bit far-fetched." I gawked.
"Sourire, you can talk?!"
"Well, Bleu is level 90. Pets learn to talk at level forty…" Cati mumbled.
"Wait, so when Kynsia reaches forty she'll be able to talk?" I asked. Cati nodded. "So that's why she said 'wait 'til level forty…' I wonder what my crazed psychotic blood-thirsty wolf will have to say…" I mumbled. I forgot to inform everyone: Kynsia has become a crazed psychotic monster of a wolf.
She's absolutely beast. When I was fighting undead in Ghoul's Rest, she mainly went for the throat. When she got covered in blood, she would lick her lips (creepy) and howl happily.
The dark elf laughed. "Now would be a good time to introduce myself. My name is Lavernna. I'm a level thirty-six druid." She smiled.
"Oh, hi. I'm Sara. Level forty. I'm an archer. This is my talking butterfly, Sourire Bleu. Over there is my team mate, the fabulous Catianna. Please excuse me while I gawk at my butterfly." I replied, and then returned to gawking at Sourire. Cati chose the easy way out and just called her Bleu.
"Oh yeah, Cati! I saw you at the Lazy Bakery today!" The dark elf smiled. "I felt bad for that poor employee. She looked so angry!"
"Oooh were you that woman with brown hair?" I asked. She turned to look at me. "Yeah, it sucks working there." I added glumly. "Everyone keeps popping out like pumpkins…" I groaned. We all laughed.
Well, everyone except Sourire, since she obviously believes herself too cool to laugh with us. She merely fluttered her wings.
"Wait now I have two pets. Speaking of pets, Cati, where did the tiger go?" I asked. Cati merely grinned and summoned out her tiger. It was big. The thing was a full grown Bengal tiger!
"I named her Spot!"

…

…
"What…?"
"As I just said, I named her Spot!" Lavernna laughed and I turned to Sourire.
"Do you have any painful illusion spells?" She nodded happily before fluttering to Cati.
"You wouldn't dare..!" The mage growled.
"Shame, Cati. You're out-leveled by both me AND a butterfly." I grinned.
"Well, Bleu's a rare… so that's not really-" her sentence was interrupted by a scream and I flinched.
"Sourire, what did you do?"
"Nothing much. I just caught her in an illusion where she has to watch herself die by the hands of her greatest fear." I looked at Cati in sympathy. 'I am so dead…"
"Don't do that ever again." I told the fluttering creature, hoping that when Cati wakes up she wouldn't kill me. 'She definitely will…' I ignored the side of me that screamed 'CUDDLE IT TO DEATH!' and said calmly: "Unless I tell you to use it, Sourire, don't. I'd have to really hate someone to use something like that on them…" I then realized something. "What's Cati's greatest fear?" I asked, turning to look at her.
Lavernna shrugged.
I sighed. "It's probably something like lack of alcohol…" I murmured. Cati regained her senses and growled angrily at me. I held my hands up. "Ok, I deserve it. Knock yourself out!" I chirped stupidly.

Seconds later I was crawling out of the rebirth point, army style. I made myself over to a bush and promptly puked. Damn, I have to fix my introduction to Lav (already making nicknames!). I'm now level thirty nine.
"Ew, seriously. Go take that somewhere else!" My eyes narrowed at the voice. I turned around after making sure I didn't have my dinner all over me.
"Not in the mood. Go away before I call my butterfly!" I snapped.
He blinked. "A butterfly is a threat how? Anyway, how'd you get here?" I only grinned wickedly. I summoned Sourire.
"Cati sure did a number on you!" The butterfly chirped. I growled.
"I know…" I looked at Sam before remembering. "OH YEAH! Sourire, remember how I said not to use that spell again?" I waited for Sourire to hover for a second before giving me the butterfly equivalent of a nod. "Well, use it on him!" I pointed at the thief, a smirk on my lips.
"You're going to hell when you die, you know…" The butterfly sighed before fluttering to the thief.
"Cati's work, eh? I'd bet it's completely your fault."
I completely forgot we were at the rebirth point before I saw the signs. 'Wait, what's he doing here in the first place?' I asked and rubbed my imaginary goatee as he doubled over and screamed. Sourire fluttered back to me before sighing.
"Hey Sourire, weird question, but can you read minds?" I asked her. She nodded again. "Well, find out what Sam's greatest fear is, 'kay?" I requested. She sighed again before turning her attention to the thief.
And then she began to laugh.
"My goodness, this boy… Priceless!" She fell to the ground, rolling as she laughed.
Butterflies can pull off ROFL's?
"Tell me tell me tell me!" I cried to the amused butterfly and falling to her feet (I suppose?)… In total absolute utter vain.
Sourire would not stop laughing.
"Damn you, if you don't shut the hell up and TELL ME I will rip your wings off of your body and then slowly BEEP your BEEP and then- wait you wouldn't be alive by that part…" I stopped talking as the butterfly visibly paled.
Was that possible? I mean, I know I have a short temper, but I didn't know my bloodthirsty words could make a butterfly visibly pale…
"Maybe if I BEEP and BEEP or BEEP… Agh that would only work if you were human…. But then BEEP and BEEP would work out well for a butterfly…" I paused for dramatic effect, watching the trembling thing out of the corner of my eye.
"What have I gotten myself into…" The butterfly whispered, clearly terrified of my words.
I didn't become a Holy Demon for looks, you know. I unfurled my wings and gazed at the insect.
"You crossed me, insolent insect. You shall pay dearly..." I said, stepping forward. She jumped, and screamed.
"I'll tell you! I'll tell you! SPARE ME!" She cried. I laughed in good nature and doubled over.
"You should see your face!" I gasped in between fits of utter laughter. I managed to cast Hidden Identity before anyone else showed up, and wings do get in the way of ROFL-ing.

AN: (shivers) I don't even want to know what Sara/Layla said to Sourire. MY POOR CREATION!
And warning: next chapter will be the promised fluff. I'm terrible at it, sue me. Also, I don't know what Sam's greatest fear is. I'll have to ask IRL Sam.
And he can't say Sam doesn't have one. We're human. WE ALL HAVE FEARS! Muahahahah-
Oh and I just realized this as I was typing the part where Sara/Layla completely scares the crap out of Sourire Bleu… Sara/Layla is very similar to Prince/Feng Lan. *shot*
Reviews? Please? I'll give you… Um… *out of sugar* Sourire for a day?
*shot by Sara* "MY BUTTERFLY!"
