"Darien, this is a really bad idea. What if they catch us
climbing the wall to get in?"
"Who said anything about us, I'm going to hide in the bushes
while they take you," he teased.
"Ha, ha, very funny. Why aren't you the one up here? You can
fly."
"We don't want to scare them to bad. Besides, you look better
scaling a 30 foot wall than I do. If the guards are guys you can
distract them by showing a little leg."
"Can't you ever be serious, Darien?" she reprimanded.
"I am serious," he replied. Sailor Earth sighed and rolled her
eyes as she grabbed another handhold and moved a little higher. Darien
grinned at his corny whit and turned around to keep watch. Not far
away a group of no more than six foot soldiers marched toward them
with swords and spears ready.
"Hey, sis, get ready to shake your bootie, the cavalry is
here," he called up to her.
She turned her head and found that he was correct. She looked
down and saw twenty feet of stone. "Could you catch me please? It is
much easier to jump from a flat surface than it is the slide off a
wall."
"Sure." Darien held out his arms below her position and Sailor
Earth let go of the wall.
At the same time, the soldiers came up behind Darien. "Put
your hands in the air," one hissed.
Darien complied, spinning around to face his captors. Sailor
Earth fell unceremoniously on the ground behind him, hitting her rump
with a resounding thump.
"OOOOHHHH, I'm never going to sit again. Thanks a lot big
brother," she complained. A soldier stepped out of formation and
grabbed her hand, heaving her to her feet. "Thank you so much. Maybe
chivalry isn't dead."
"Are you all right miss?" he asked with concern.
"I'll survive," she replied with a cordial smile.
"All right, that's enough. Put your hands up, too," the
apparent commander ordered. Sailor Earth did as she was told and the
guards formed a circle around them as they made their way to the front
gate.
As they went along people stopped whatever they were doing and
pointed at the spectacle they made. "I told you it was a bad idea,"
Sailor Earth muttered.
