The Thief and the Babana Girl

by cbuugdrama9

He was just a prince turned thief. She was just a babana merchant/great sage's daughter. After Oliver left, they parted ways, and hadn't seen each other since. When they reconcile, they don't have much time to catch up, because they discover a new threat to the world, and need to work together with some old companions to save it again. But can they succeed without Oliver with them?

Chapter 19: Dad-Jokes and Doors

The next day, everyone was energized and ready to go. So ready, in fact, that they all quickly ate some breakfast as small as just a bit of cereal and immediately cast Dimension Teleportation. Once back in the castle, they continued to walk and walk until life seemed dull and boring. Swaine explained some important life lessons to his brother and girlfriend to pass the time, but that was the only burst of excitement they had. "Okay, who knows a good joke or something?

"Even a bad one? We need to get some excitement going." Esther asked. Cassiopeia slowly raised her hand.

"I know one. Father used to tell it all the time. It's one of the reasons why the Zodiarchy killed him, I believe. Ready?" Everyone nodded, and Cassiopeia began telling the joke.

"A panda walks into a normal human bar, and asks the bartender for a sandwich and a vodka. The bartender says 'okay, non-suspicious panda that speaks English' and gets him his stuff. The panda then eats the sandwich, chugs the vodka, and shoots the bartender 37 times in the chest. The panda then gets up, and goes to leave, but someone stops him, and asks 'woah! What'd you kill him for?!' And the panda says 'look up panda in the dictionary.' The man does so, and sees 'Panda; Eats chutes and leaves(Eats, Shoots, and leaves)!'"

Jacinda groaned at the joke, and Marcassin attempted to hold back a giggle. "Yeah, I know. Corny, right? Dad thinks it's hilarious, though. I don't know how Oliver survives, having him tell jokes 24/7."

Suddenly she was cut off by banging into something.

Jacinda gasped at what she saw, and everyone looked to the thing blocking the way, before turning back to Jacinda, confused thoroughly. "What's the big deal? It's just a door. What's so huge about it?"

"Th-that's the...the door to the throne room. After that, there's hallways, her private quarters, my closet, and all the way back is her inner sanctum. Only she is allowed in there. Well, her and her imaginary friend Terrance, though she said she got over that phase years ago."

"Terrance? That name sounds familiar..." Swaine facepalmed at all the talking.

"Cassie! Jacinda! All of you! Can you all stop yammering and blabbering on and on and on about names and imaginary friends? We have a girl to save!" They all nodded, and slowly they went to open the throne room door. "Wait! We need a plan! Hmm…ah! I happen to have one. Here it is..." everyone turned to Jacinda, waiting for her to continue.
