A Tweak Too Far
Numair and Daine were out for a stroll. They walked beneath the trees and talked about their future life together.
"I want to have a lot of little magelets running around the tower. I just love children!" Numair gushed.
"Maybe. But not right away. I don't know if I'm ready to have kids just yet. I'm kinda still a kid myself," replied Daine.
Numair tweaked her nose. Suddenly, for no apparent reason that the author can think of at the moment, His Imperial Highness Kaddar appeared and ran over to the couple. Numair scowled when he gave Daine a hug and tweaked her nose. The mage reached over and tweaked Daine's nose as well.
"Ouch!" shouted Daine. "That hurt!" Kaddar tweaked her nose again, more gently.
Numair glared at the emperor of Carthak. "That's my girlfriend's nose you're tweaking there," he growled.
Kaddar stuck his tongue out and tweaked Daine's nose again. "What's with all the tweaking?" she screamed at the two men.
Out of the woods came Alanna and George, hand in hand. George reached over and tweaked Alanna's nose. She bit his hand. "I told you not to do that anymore!" Alanna cried. George cradled his bleeding hand. When the "happy" pair reached their group of friends, George tweaked Daine's nose.
"That's it!" yelled Daine. "If one more person tweaks my nose, they're gonna get it!"
Just then Jon and Thayet came out of the woods from their, er, well, we'll call it a romp. Their royal clothes were very disheveled, and bits of grass were stuck in their hair. (A/N: Thayet's not a ditz in this story. Sorry! Don't worry. She will be next time.) "Hullo!" Jon called when he spotted the group. He walked with a spring in his step. "What's this? A party? And why weren't we invited? I'm hurt." He grinned widely, and tweaked Daine's nose.
Daine screeched a war cry and drove her fist into the king's face. "I warned you all not to tweak my nose again!"
Jon recovered from the blow and advanced menacingly at Daine. "Why you little..." Out of nowhere, Numair barreled into him, slamming the king to the ground. "Don't threaten my girlfriend!" He punched Jon repeatedly.
Thayet hit Numair in the head with a purse that had suddenly materialized. It had no effect. Intending to defend her husband, Thayet jumped into the fray.
Kaddar was doubled over in laughter. "You people are so stupid!" He tweaked Daine's nose. Then he was doubled over in pain, because Daine had kicked him between his legs, a very delicate area. "You want a piece of this?" she asked George, who looked as though he wanted to tweak her nose too. She waved her fist at him. "No, not really." All of the sudden, his arm shot up of it's own accord and tweaked her nose. "No, please, I beg of you, don't hit me!"
"Too late!"
BAM!
George lied on the ground. "Ouch."
Alanna laughed so hard that there were tears streaming down her face. But she stopped, with a look of horror. Her arm reached up and headed for Daine's nose. Alanna tried to stop it, but the arm kept going. It tweaked the girl's nose. "Uh oh," said Alanna. She didn't even have time to try to defend herself, because Daine attacked without hesitation. Swiftly, Alanna the great knight was pummeled and lying on the ground next to her husband.
Daine glared at everyone. She pulled Thayet off on Numair and the yanked the mage to his feet. He was rather bloody, but the king was worse. Numair impulsively tweaked her nose. "DIE!" she screamed and kicked him in the stomach. "No more tweaking my nose!"
The End
A/N: I decided to write this story when I noticed for freaking much the TP characters tweaked each other's noses. I know, it's dumb. Big deal. SO SUE ME!
