...Bleh.
Sorry for not updating last night. I needed to get to bed earlier for an appointment with the orthordontist. for what, you ask?
Braces.
GOD. Fucking braces.
Excuse my language, but I'm not looking forward to a year with these things. What's more, I had to get bite plates. I think they're too high. In fact, they're so high that I can chew with my molar teeth. whenever I bite, I hit the bite plates.
I'm hoping I can wear them down a bit after a few days, and 'till then I'm only eating pastas, soups, etc. Soft foods only. If I still can't chew after a day or so, we're going back. Bleh.
Sorry, you guys don't care about this. Youi want the next chapter! Well, for suffering through my mini rant, here's a new chapter for you all!
XD It gets a little awkward for Kuzco and Kylie down in the chapter.
We ran down a corridor, and Pacha ran next to Kuzco with an opened potion in his hand.
"We gotta change you back. Try this one." He said, giving Kuzco the potion. A poof of smoke later, and Kuzco was a small turtle.
"Ah, Kylie, Pacha? A little help!" He called. I had slowed down a bit so I could grab Kuzco and give us a little bit of extra time, so I quickly scooped up the little turtled and headed towards Pacha.
As we came to a huge staircase, and an octopus came at us with three axes. Pacha jumped on Kuzco's shell, I jumped on Pacha's back, and we all slid down the banister. Upon seeing that there were three guards at the bottom waiting for us, Pacha pulled out another vial.
"Oh, please be something with wings." He pleaded, then stuck the potion into Kuzco's mouth. In a poof of smoke, a bird-like screech was heard.
"Yeah, we're flyin'!" Kuzco said, then looked at himself. "Uh-oh!" We all fell and splatted onto a statue, sliding slowly to the ground. After shaking himself out of it, Pacha grabbed Kuzco and I and ran. When we got to a bridge, Kuzco spoke up.
"We're not getting anywhere with you picking the vials. I'm picking the next one!" Kuzco said irately.
"Fine by me!" Pacha agreed, then showed Kuzco the remaining potions.
"Give me that one!" Kuzco said, and Pacha gave it to him. After the smoke cleared, we saw that Kuzco was now a whale. I snorted slightly in mirth. Kuzco noticed how the bridge crackled slightly under his weight, and glared at us.
"Don't you two say a word." Kuzco said.
The bridge suddenly broke under Kuzco's weight, and we were sent falling into a canal.
"Quick! Drain the canals!" I heard Yzma say as I grabbed a random vial from Pacha.
"Open up!" I called, then threw the potion into Kuzco's mouth. In a poof of smoke, Kuzco was a llama once again.
"Yay! I'm a llama again!" Kuzco said happily, splashing his hooves in the water. "Wait..." He then calmed down, realizing what he just said. There was a sudden movement in the water, and we all looked at each other a second before we were pulled down into a whirlpool.
We barely caught the side of the nostril, and started to climb up. We all nearly fell as the guards that were chasing us fell through the nostril, not managing to catch the side. After many close-calls of almost slipping, we finally made it to a flat platform.
"Okay, only two left. It's gotta be one of these." Pacha said, showing the vials to Kuzco and I.
As Kuzco was looking in between the two vials, Yzma came in and kicked us all apart, Kuzco and I to one side and Pacha to the other. The vials went flying out of Pacha's hands towards Yzma.
Yzma, Kuzco and I all dived for the remaining potions, fighting for a second, until Yzma's elbow crushed a vial. A huge tornado-looking smoke cloud appeared, and an evil demon-sounding laugh came.
When the smoke cleared, we saw a small, silver cat, who meowed cutely.
"I'll take that." Kuzco said smugly, snatching the potion away from Yzma.
"This is the one. This'll change you back to a human." Pacha said, smiling. Kuzco was about to open it, when Yzma attacked him. Pacha went to help him, and Yzma stuck her claws into his arm. Pacha yelled and got of balance, causing him to fall off the platform. He managed to catch the top of the eye, while I tried to help Kuzco.
I got a huge scratch across my cheek, so painful that it caused me to jumped several platforms up. I got my back hoof caught in a small crack, and pulled desperately at it to try and get free. No such luck.
I gave up, watching as Kuzco finally slammed Yzma against the wall. He glared at her, then looked over the edge for Pacha.
"Drink the potion!" He called, slipping slightly. Kuzco nodded.
"Okay, okay." Kuzco said, lifting up his empty hoof. "Aah! Where did it go? Where is it?" He looked around for a bit, then Yzma spoke up.
"Looking for this?" Yzma's voice sounded like she'd been breathing helium, and she noticed it. "Is that my voice? Is that my voice? Oh well." She shrugged, holding the vial over the edge.
"No! Don't drop it!" Kuzco said desperately.
"I'm not going to drop it, you fool. I'm going to drink it. And once I turn back into my beautiful self, I'm going to kill you!" She said, laughing maniacally. She stopped when she realized she couldn't get the cork off of the top.
After trying many different things and all of them failing, she finally threw it against the floor, where it bounce to the wall and then over the edge. Kuzco gasped, and Yzma dived after it, and fell screaming.
The vial landed on a ledge, about to fall off. Kuzco headed towards it, trying to get the vial before it fell too.
"Whoa! Kuzco!" Pacha shouted, slipping.
"Be right there! Give me a minute!" Kuzco replied, trying to reach the vial.
"Kuzco! Whoa!" Pacha cried, one hand slipping off. Kuzco continued to reach for the vial. "Kuzco! Noo-" Pacha fell, but was caught by Kuzco at the last second.
"Oh." Pacha said, relieved. "The vial!" He then pointed, and we all watched as the vial fell towards the ground.
I heard Yzma's screams getting clearer, and I knew what had happened. Kuzco helped Pacha up as Yzma flew by them, laughing. They looked at each other, shocked. Yzma flew by me, then smashed head-first into an overhanging ledge. The potion fell right above Kuzco and Pacha, just feet away from me.
"Kylie! Can you get it?" Kuzco called up to me.
"I'm stuck! Sorry!" I called sadly. Pacha and Kuzco looked up at the area, and back at each other with a grin when they noticed how similar it was to the crevice from before
"You thinking what I'm thinking?" Pacha asked. They went back-to-back, linked arms, and began to walk up to the potion. Yzma shook herself out of the daze, and headed down towards the potion. Just as Pacha was about to grab the vial, Yzma swiped it from it's spot, laughing maniacally.
"I win." She said, pointing at the vial.
Suddenly, a trick door slammed open onto Yzma, revealing Kronk.
"Whoa." He said, looking around. The vial flew from Yzma's paws right into Pacha's hand, and he grinned.
"Got it!" He said, and Kuzco and I smiled.
"What are the odds of that trap door leading me out here?" Kronk asked nobody in particular. Pacha pulled Kuzco up to the platform I was on.
"Hey! What about me?" I said playfully, and Pacha helped me get un-stuck from the crack. After a moment, we all burst into happy laugher, hugging.
After realizing what we were doing, we all pulled back suddenly.
"Here, uh, let me get this for you." Pacha said, opening the vial and handing it to Kuzco. He looked at it, then at me.
"Ladies first?" He said, offering the vial to me. I smirked.
"Age before beauty." I said, laughing at the offended look on his face. I then flicked his hoof, making him pour the contents of the vial into his mouth. In a puff of smoke, Emperor Kuzco was back.
I quickly turned away, blushing. Oh, he was human again, and very, very naked. Pacha grinned at me, and I snorted, blushing harder.
"What?" Kuzco asked, putting a hand on my shoulder, and I coughed awkwardly. I heard a squeak, and the hand was gone. Pacha laughed and pulled off his shawl, handing it to Kuzco.
"Okay, I'm covered." Kuzco said, sounding embarrassed. I slowly turned around, relieved when I didn't see anything inappropriate.
"I hope we can get more." I said worriedly, just remembering that I was still a llama. Kuzco's face went from embarrassed and blushing to worried and still blushing.
"Yeah. It would be horrible if you were stuck like that forever." Kuzco said, then continued before I could start telling him off. "After all the things you did for me to get me human." He said quickly, and my anger dispersed into a flattered and soft feeling.
"Hn." I huffed, trying to hide my embarrassment, Pacha grinning knowingly.
"So." Kuzco said, breaking the now awkward silence. "Anyone know how to get down?"
Thank you all for your donations to help cure SammieValAlxJas' disease. I'm afraid we'll need a few more for the following chapters; but after them, she should be able to hold on until her next story.
