Chapter 8

"Alright men, let's stop for a few minutes." Danny ordered.

Tucker pulled the reins and bought the carriage to a stop. Wes went over to the window and said to Valerie, Paulina and Star, "We're just stopping for a moment to give the horses some water and have a quick breakfast. You're free to stretch your legs if you want to."

"Will the uh….guards be out there?" Paulina asked, hiding her blushing behind her fan.

"Yes. You'll be perfectly safe." Wes answered.

"I think a leg stretch would be nice." Paulina said with a bright smile.

She handed her fan to Valerie and immediately got out of the carriage. Valerie frowned while Star giggled, both knowing she had other intentions other than to just stretch her legs.

Paulina looked to see Dash setting up a small table with some food for them all. As he was placing a tray of fruit down, Paulina walked up behind him, causing to him to jump in fright and almost drop the fruit.

Luckily, he managed to catch them all as she said with a smile, "Sorry. Um…thank you for helping me with my shoe last night."

Dash smiled nervously as she asked, "What's your name?"

"Uh Bash….uh….Jash….Dash. My name is Dash." Dash stuttered, completely nervous but tried to hide it.

Paulina sat down on one of the cushions and offered him an apple as she said, "Please eat something. Guarding us day and night must be exhausting."

"No…well yes…but I'm strong and uh….marching…" Dash answered, cringing as he thought he just embarrassed himself, but Paulina didn't seem to mind at all.

"I suppose all that training does make it second nature." Paulina said, still smiling gently at him.

"But I think you, a princess, with royal….I could never…" Dash said.

"But it is our duty and our honour. Although to admit, it can be a burden." Paulina admitted. She then realised her mistake, "I said too much."

She smiled and said, "You're very easy to talk to Dash."

Dash smiled back and complimented as he bowed to her for a moment, "Permit me to echo your praise your highness. I find your presence engaging and your conversation sparkling."

Paulina blushed bright red and continued to smile as she said, "Thank you."

Star was collecting some fruit from the trees that were around them. She tried to reach for a pear, but it was really high up. As she jumped up to try and grab it, she suddenly felt someone lift her up allowing her to grab the pear.

She looked down and smiled as she saw it was Kwan who gave her a lift. Kwan smiled back as he put her down.

"Thank you. What's your name?" She asked.

"My name is Kwan your highness." Kwan answered.

"My name is Star." Star said. She then gave the pear she had grabbed to him.

He accepted the fruit with a smile and she smiled back, trying not to blush and unaware that Valerie was watching them. She looked over at Paulina talking to Dash and back at Star and Kwan and frowned in annoyance.

Suddenly Tucker came up to her and introduced himself to her, "Hello there. I'm Tucker. Tucker Foley. That's TF for too fine!"

Valerie blushed in embarrassment and said, "Okay one, my name is Princess Valerie and two, gross! Are you hitting on me?!"

"Sorry about that. Hey you wanna see some of my PDA's?" Tucker said as he pulled out a whole bunch of PDA's from his back-pack.

Valerie continued to cringe and hide behind her fan. Tucker smiled as he decided to try and make her laugh with some of his jokes, "Come on your highness. You don't want to let your guard down! Get it? Guard down?"

While Tucker laughed, Valerie continued to cringe and hide behind her fan. Tucker then tried again, "You know, I got some blue blood myself. Many have called me a royal pain!"

Hearing enough, Valerie ran off while Tucker shouted, "You've been a great crowd."

He then looked down, feeling like complete idiot for embarrassing himself like that.

A few minutes later, everyone was getting ready to leave again. Star came up to Valerie and showed her the fruit in the basket as she said, "Valerie look. Isn't this fruit lovely? Kwan helped me pick them. He's so sweet."

"Just get your pomegranates in the carriage." Valerie said with a weak smile.

While Star and Valerie got inside the carriage, Paulina looked at Wes packing some of the stuff back into the trailer and wondered if she could talk to him and get some advice.

Wes looked up and saw Paulina walk up to him and saw she was looking a bit down and asked, "Your highness, is something wrong?"

"No. Nothing at all." Paulina answered with a white lie.

"Are you sure?" Wes asked.

"I was just…" Paulina started and then smiled as she continued, "I just wanted to compliment you. You were so brave to take your father's place in the army."

"Thank you." Wes said with a smile as he placed the box in the trailer.

"Just out of curiosity, your duty was to stay at home, but your heart told you to break the rules. How did you decide between your duty and heart?" Paulina asked.

"Well….I'll admit it wasn't easy. But I followed my feelings. I couldn't bear the thought of my dad going through another war, after he was injured badly during the last one. So by following my feelings, I ended up doing the right thing." Wes answered. "I guess I learned, that my duty is to my heart."

Paulina thought about what Wes said and smiled. She then said before going back to the carriage, "That makes sense. That's marvellous! Thank you Wes. Thank you."

"Uh….you're welcome. I guess." Wes said, feeling a little confused about what happened but shrugged it off for now.

"Let's get back on the road." Danny called out, Wes closed the trailer door and headed back to his horse.

Dora grinned in anticipation and said quietly, "That's my que to put Operation Danny into action. Oh this is going to be fun. I'm gonna make him look so bad, it's gonna send Wes running for the hills."

A couple of hours later, Wes was watching Danny fish for everyone else's lunch. He smirked and tried to pose to impress Wes.

Dora saw an opportunity to embarrass Danny and while he lowered his fishing rod behind him, she quickly turned invisible and hooked the hook on the back of his shirt, causing it to snag and him to get tangled in his own shirt.

Wes watched as he lost balance and fell into the water. He walked up to him as he sat up and fixed his shirt a little. Suddenly something was wiggling around in his shirt, causing him to twist and turn, Wes reached in and pulled out the fish that was in there.

"Good catch Danny." Wes said laughing. Danny laughed along with his fiancé.

Dora growled, but then smiled as she thought of something else. After lunch, they were about to head on the road again. Danny was just finishing his horse's saddle, Dora quickly loosened the buckle on the other side and hid behind Wes's horse.

As soon as Danny got on his horse, his saddle slipped and he ended being upside down. Wes smiled and loosened his own saddle's belt and slipped underneath as well, giving Danny a kiss on the cheek and earning a smile back from him.

Dora jumped in frustration on top of Knight. Knight turned and growled at Dora before kicking her off with his snout.

A few hours later, they finally stopped for a break and to make some dinner. Danny and Wes were sitting together, enjoying some tea when Dora snuck some worms down the back of Danny's shirt, causing him to jump up in fright and wriggle around trying to get rid of the worms.

"Danny, are you okay?" Wes asked as he stood up.

Suddenly, Danny bumped into Wes and made him fall on top of him as they both landed on the ground. However, instead of getting angry with him, they both laughed making Dora growl in frustration again.

She banged her head against something hard, but stopped when she saw it was Knight's leg who she was banging her head on. Knight growled at her, making her yelp in fright.

As the hour went by, Dora had tried everything to break Wes and Danny apart. She tried dropping a bee hive on his head, sent an angry ghost bear after him and even sent smaller ghost animals such as squirrels, skunks and porcupines! But none of them made Wes and Danny break up.

As Danny tried to light the campfire to cook Wes a tofu soy melt for him, a small explosion was heard and behind her was now Danny, charred in ashes and a completely burnt tofu soy melt was now in his hands.

Wes however didn't get mad and picked up the tofu soy melt and said as he took a bite out of it, "Huh….tasty."

Dora growled as she hid in some grass, Knight suddenly jumped right on her, teaching her a lesson for trying to wreck Danny's and Wes's relationship.

A few minutes later, Dora was now walking beneath the carriage, using a crutch to walk and was now covered in bandages, thanks to Knight hitting her. Cujo was indeed very happy to see she had failed to try and break Danny and Wes up.

"I tried and I tried. I put my heart and soul into busting them up and what do I have to show for it?" Dora said in sadness and defeat.

Cujo immediately began laughing at Dora for her misfortune and karma.

"The dog laughs in my face!" Dora exclaimed, unaware that the end of her bandage getting caught in the wheel of the carriage. "I JUST CAN'T DO IT ANYMORE!"

"Oh great Ancestors! I throw myself at your mercy!" Dora pleaded as she threw her crutch, however the crutch bounced on and off the wheels of the carriage like it was a pinball game, before it knocked the rock that was keeping the wheels still off the wheel and the carriage began to move.

"My pedestal is all but a distant memory! Great spirits take me now!" Dora begged, but then suddenly she was chocked by her bandage and dragged by the fast moving carriage that was rolling down the hill.

The Princesses were inside the carriage as it started continued to roll down the hill, all of them screamed. The boys were sitting down waiting for Danny and Wes to come back from scoping out the area before travelling again, when they saw the carriage and it crashed into them, causing them to land on the carriage and they held on.

"Hang on girls! We'll save you!" Dash shouted.

He suddenly noticed the cliff and shouted, "CLIFF!"

Danny and Wes saw what was going on.

"They're heading for the cliff! Wes let's go!" Danny said as he jumped off his horse, changed into his ghost form and went after the carriage while Wes followed on Knight.

They finally caught up with them. Tucker then shouted as he stood near the window, "Come on girls!"

Valerie passed Paulina to Tucker who placed her on the back of Wes's horse. Paulina held onto Wes as they continued. Valerie then passed Star to Danny. Danny placed Star on his back and she held on to his neck.

"Okay Valerie your turn!" Tucker said. Valerie was about to climb out and grab Tucker's hands, but her foot got stuck in a crack in the carriage floor.

"TUCKER HURRY!" Danny shouted.

"Valerie's stuck!" Tucker called out as he began to try and get Valerie out.

Danny pulled out some rope and threw the other end to Wes as he shouted, "WES CATCH!"

Wes caught the end and tied it to his saddle, Knight, Wes and Danny pulled back as hard as they could, all of them screaming as they came closer and closer to the cliff.

"HANG ON!" Dash shouted as they all fell off the cliff.

Tucker pulled Valerie out just in time, all of them falling into the river below, the carriage crashed into the sharp rock and was destroyed. All of their supplies floated in the water as they emerged to the surface.

"Paulina, are you alright?" Dash asked the princess.

Paulina smiled and nodded. Valerie smiled at Tucker and said, "You saved my life. Thank you."

Tucker smiled back and said, "You're welcome."

"Is everyone alright?" Danny asked after he emerged to the surface.

"We're alright. I saved the food." Star said as she started collecting the fruit she picked from that morning.

Kwan lifted her bridal from underneath as he surfaced and said with a smile, "And I saved you."

Star smiled back. Wes finally emerged to the surface and as soon as he did, Danny swam over to him and hugged him.

"Wes are you okay? What happened?" Danny asked.

"I'm fine Danny." Wes answered as he hugged him back. "And I don't know. I wasn't near the carriage."

"Tucker, Dash, Kwan, save the supplies. I'll quickly go back and get my horse and come back. We'll make camp here for the night." Danny said.

Dora emerged from the water and Cujo immediately arrived and barked angrily at her. She frowned and snapped, "My fault?! This wasn't my plan!"

She looked down and continued, "The carriage is busted, cold and miserable, and everything's ruined!"

She suddenly brightened up as she thought of something and said as she drained her tail of water, "Or maybe not. Danny is steaming like a fresh pork bun….Aha! I bet he and Wes are two nasty words away from an all-out feud! Oh Cujo! Things are brightening up after all!"
