The Emperor's New Groove:
Falling in Love Isn't For an Emperor
Chapter 8: Journey To Pacha's; Enter Bucky!
I had never felt guiltier in my entire life. There I went again, acting all arrogant and only thinking of myself. Raina was right: The emperor was selfish and self-centered...I hadn't changed since I met Pacha...I was still arrogant...only at least I had feelings this time. And those feelings were starting to kick in when I made Raina cry.
I pretended to just be asleep, and I listened to her crying, feeling shameful, guilty, and a bunch of other things, until I heard her start to talking to herself.....
"Why did I even think I had feelings for him?" She whispered to herself. ""One day, he'll love me..." Tech....yeah right..." I heard her sniff. She sighed.
I got up and walked over to her, pretending I just woke up. "Um Raina?"
She almost jumped six feet into the air. "Ahh! Oh..Kuno...you startled me....I didn't know you were awake...."
"And I didn't know you were awake....." I said, and sat next to her.
We sat silent for a long time. Then Raina spoke.
"So...so I was thinking that...maybe....if you still wanna see Pacha.....I could take you to him."
I looked up, kinda shocked. "You mean....you'll take me to him? Even after I...got mad at you?"
"Well, yes...friends are suppose to forgive and forget, right?" She smiled at me, sympethetically.
I smiled back. "Yeah....heh, I guess so..."
"Great....maybe we should go ahead and go now...I think the sun's rising now. Oh, and when all those people told me about the emperor being all self centered, not to be rude or anything, but I would think they were talking about you..." She laughed.
I laughed, but in a nervous way. "Heh heh...hey...." I pushed her playfully and she giggled.
"I was just kidding, Kuno....don't worry..." She laughed.
"Hey, Raina...you weren't up all night were you?"
"No...why?"
"Oh uh...just wondering..." We both continued to walk for a while, not speaking to each other. I then broke the silence and asked, "Um...I'm sorry......for what I did...."
"Hmm?" I must have interupted her thoughts or something, like she had always did me.
"I said I'm sorry....that I.....made you cry...."
She looked surprised. "You heard me, huh...."
"Yeah....and I'm sorry..."
She smiled, and then did something out of the ordinary. She stopped, and reached up, kissing me on my cheek. I stood there for a while, sorta shocked, and she said, "Thank you...." And continued walking. While I, put my hand to my cheek and grinned. "Kuno? Are you coming?"
The sun had finally risen. I nodded and put my hand down. "Yeah...I am..." And then, we started on the way to Pacha's.
"FOLLOW THOSE FOOTPRINTS! THEY COULDN'T HAVE GONE FAR!!!!" Zelma screamed as Kronk picked up the speed a bit.
"I can't believe we just let him get away!!!!!" Yzma hissed. "But somebody's bound to recognize him sooner or later...like that...Paca character..."
"Yzma....I think it's Pacha..."
"Right right...whatever....but...if my cat sences are correct, he would be heading towards Pa-CHA'S..." She said the "Cha's" with alittle sarcassm. "But just where is Paca's --"
"Pacha..." Zelma and Kronk said in unison.
"Right...RIGHT!!! I KNOW NOW! PACHA!!! OK? Now, just WHERE IIIIIS PACHAAAAAAAA'S???" She hissed loudly.
"Dunno...but I'm sure I could find out..." Kronk stopped. He took out a whistle a blew. Leaping out of the trees, there was Bucky, the squirell, who landed right on to Kronk's shoulder. "Hey little buddy..."
Yzma slapped her paw on her forehead while the squirell chattered. "Now, ask him where Paca...."
"Pacha.." They both said again.
"OOOH! Pacha...." She said trying to control her temper. "Grr..askhimwherePacha'shouseis!! (Ask him where Pacha's house is!!)" She said quickly.
"Um...er...squeatity squeak...um...squeakum...squeaker...squeak squeakum...squeakum.." Kronk said in squirrell language.
Zelma's mouth dropped open. "He's dumb...AND he talks to squirells???!!"
"Oh, you haven't seen anything yet..." Yzma rolled her eyes and watched as Bucky chattered back to Kronk.
"Alright. OK! Thanks loads Bucky!" He said to the squirrell as it bounded off.
"So?" Yzma asked. "Where is Pa....Pa....Pa...."
"Pacha.."
"Right.......Pacha's house?"
"Well, lessee..." Kronk said. "He said we go up that hill there, and then we take a left past an old corner store..and then we go right, and we come to a village on a huge hill top. Pacha's house is at the very top!"
"Great, Kronk!! Now let's go!!!" She said, as Kronk lifted up the litter and began running off again.
