NOTICE!!!!!! I NEED YOUR OPINION!!!!!!!!!! I want to ask every one if I should have Kero singing ' I'm a Believer' at the end of the story! Tell me on your review!
Chapter three----
" Okay, so lemme me get this straight! You're gonna go fight a dragon, to rescue a princes, just so Eli'll give you the swamp back. Which you only don't have because he filled it full of freaks in the first place is that about right? " Kero asked Li as they walked through a sunflower field.
" You know what, maybe it's a good reason Teddy bears shouldn't talk!" Li said as he entered a garden holding a few onions and turnips.
" Oh I don't know Li! Why don't you pull some of that wizard stuff on over him! You know, turn him into a frog, Zap him with lightning until he's burned to a crisp! You know the whole wizard trick! " Kero said.
" Oh, I know! Maybe I could've struck an entire city with lightning and ate their ashes! Or taken my sword and sliced them all into tiny pieces! Gotten me a few jars put them in them and put them on my shelves and kept them as souvenirs! Now tell me, does that sound good to you? " Li asked.
" Uh... no, not really no! " Kero said.
" For your information there's a lot more to wizards than people think! " Li said.
" Example? " Kero asked.
" Example? Alright! Wizards….. Are like onions! " Li said showing Kero an onion.
Kero sniffed the onion and flinched at the scent. He blinked then looked up at Li.
" They stink?" He asked.
" Yes, no! " Li said quickly.
" Oh, they make you cry! " Kero said.
" No! " Li said.
" Oh you leave them out in the sun and they turn all brown start sprouting little white hairs! " Kero said.
" No! Layers! Onions have layers! Wizards have layers! Onions have layers. You get it! We both have layers! " Li yelled, then got frustrated and threw the onion on the ground and walked away as he sighed.
Kero watched Li go then looked down at the onion in confusement.
" Oh! You both have layers! Oh! " Kero said trying to sound like he understood.
Kero looked at the onion and sniffed it; again he flinched at the scent.
" You know not everybody likes onions! " Kero said shaking his head then looking down at the onion again.
"Cakes! Everybody likes cakes! Cakes have layers! " Kero said running up to Li
" I don't care! What everybody likes! Wizards are not like cakes! " Li said frustrated then walked off again.
Kero thought for a minute, then walked after him again.
" Well what about those layered pudding cups? Have you ever met a person and you say hey lets go get some pudding and they say no I don't like no pudding! Pudding is delicious! " Kero said stopping in front of Li
" NO! " Li yelled trying not to tear out his hair." YOU DENSE, IRRITATING MINATURE BEAST OF BURDEN! Wizards are like onions! Bye bye! *Whispers* See ya later! "
Li walked off. Kero bit his lip thinking.
" Pudding may be the most delicious thing on the whole dang planet! " Kero said following Li
" You know what? I think I preferred your humming!" Li said as they entered another sunflower field.
" Do you have a tissue or something? Cause I'm making a mess! Just the word pudding makes me get all sloppy! " Kero said.
Li and Kero traveled on to the castle; it took them a couple of days but when they saw the castle it only took a few hours to reach it then. They were walking up the mountain when Kero flinched and started waving his paw in his face like crazy.
" Whoo! Li did you do that? " Kero asked. " Man you gotta warn someone before you just crack one up like that! My mouth was open and everything! "
" Believe me Kero if it was me, you'd be dead! " Li said bending down towards him.
Li sniffed at the air as he stood up.
" It's brimstone! We must be getting close! " Li said, then went over to the top of the mountain and began to climb.
" Yeah right brimstone! I know what I smelled and it wasn't no brimstone! It didn't come off no stone either! " Kero said looking at Li's butt as he began to climb as well.
They reached the top. There was this big storm cloud above them with lightning flashing every so often. There was the castle surrounded by hot boiling lava and there was an old rope bridge that crossed the lava.
" Sure it's big enough! But look at the location! " Li joked then began to laugh as he climbed over the top and down towards the bridge.
" Uh…Li. Um, you know when you said, that wizards have layers? " Kero asked as he followed Li down the hill.
" Why? " Li asked.
" Well, uh…. I have a bit of a confession to make" Kero said then found himself in front of the skeleton of a bear. " *Gasps* Teddy bears don't have layers! We, we wear our fears right out on our sleeves! "
" Wait a minute, teddies don't have sleeves! " Li said.
" You know what I mean! " Kero said.
" Oh you can't tell me that you can't fly and that you're afraid of heights! " Li said pointing to the bridge.
" No, I'm just a little bit emotionally attached to the gravitational pull of the earth and a bit uncomfortable about walking over a rickety old bridge over a boiling lake of lava! " Kero said in a nervous tone then changing to a hysterical tone.
Li reached down and picked up Kero.
" C'mon Kero I'm right here beside ya! For… emotional support! We'll just tackle this obstacle one little baby step at a time!" Li said then put Kero on his shoulder.
" Really? " Kero asked nervously.
" Really really! " Li assured him
" Okay, that makes me feel so much better! " Kero said unassured.
" Let's just keep moving! And don't look down! " Li told him
" Okay! We'll keep moving and don't look down! Keep moving, don't look down! " Kero said to himself.
Li shook his head, but as soon as he stopped he stepped onto a weak piece of the bridge and it fell down. Li stumbled forwards and Kero was forced to look down. Kero gasped.
" Li, I'm lookin down! " Kero yelled watching the piece of wood fall into the lava.
" Ahhh! Oh I can't do this just let me off right now! Please!" Kero yelled in Li's face grabbing hold of his collar
" But you're already half way! " Li said.
" Yeah! But I know THAT half is safe! " Kero yelled franticly.
" Alright! Fine! I don't have time for this! You go back!" Li said putting Kero on the ground
" Wait! No! " Kero said grabbing hold of Li's boot
" Let go Kero! " Li yelled shaking his boot.
After a few attempts Li kicked Kero off, but shook the bridge as he did.
" Ahhhh! Don't do that! " Kero yelled scared.
" Oh I'm sorry! Do what? " Li asked like he didn't know what he did to upset Kero.
Kero glarred at him.
" Oh, you mean, this? " Li asked shaking the bridge again.
" Yes that! " Kero told him.
" Yes, do it! Okay! " Li said sheepishly and began to shake the bridge again.
" AHHHHH! NO LI!" Kero yelled jumping up into the air and floating for the first time.
" You said do it! I'm doing it! " Li said as Kero flew towards the castle with his eyes closed.
" No Li I'm gonna die! Li I'm gonna die! " Kero wailed as he reached the end of the bridge.
Kero opened his eyes and looked down and saw that he was flying.
" Oh! " Kero said
" That'll do Kero! That'll do! "Li said patting Kero on the head then walking towards the castle entrance.
Kero looked towards the other side of the bridge then at Li.
" Cool! " Kero said then flew after Li.
" So where is this fiery red pain in the butt anyway? " Kero asked.
" Inside! Waiting for us to rescue her! " Li said then laughed.
" I was talking about the dragon Li! " Kero said.
Li and Kero entered the castle. There were lots of skeletons, obviously from the knights that had tried to rescue the princess before. There were lots of ashes and soot on the ground and around the skeletons too. Li and Kero silently walked through the castle. Kero nervously followed Li.
" You afraid? " Kero whispered.
" No! But, SHHH! " Li said quietly.
" Oh good me neither! " Kero whispered looking behind him nervously.
Kero looked up to where Li had just been standing, he saw a skeleton. Kero gasped then flew after Li.
" Of course, there's nothing wrong, with being afraid! Fear is a sense of response to, a certain, situation. And just because you're a little nervous about being around a dragon. A dragon that breathes FIRE, really hot fire. It doesn't really mean that you're a coward. If you're a little afraid! I definitely ain't no coward though! " Kero said nervously as he followed Li.
Kero bumped into a skeleton with a suit of armor on. The helmet popped of the skeleton's head and landed on Kero's.
" Ahhh! " Kero whined as he jumped back in fear.
" *Sighs* Kero, two things alright? SHUT! UP! " Li said pointing to two fingers, then he took off the helmet from Kero's head and placed it on his own, " Now go over there and see if you can find any stairs! "
" Stairs? I thought we was looking for the princess! " Kero said looking behind him
" The princess will be up the stairs. In the highest room. In the tallest tower! " Li explained
" What makes you think she'll be there? " Kero asked.
" I read it in a book once when I was little! " Li said said picking up a bunch of armor then flipped the helmet down.
" Well cool! You handle the dragon! I'll handle the stairs! " Kero said then walked off towards a door. " Oh I'll find those stairs! And I'll whip their butt too! Those stairs won't know which way they going!"
Kero opened the door and entered the room.
" I'll find those stairs! Don't mess with me I'm the stair master! I've mastered the stairs! I wish I had a step right her right her now I'd step allover it! " Kero said walking up these flattened stairs towards an eye ball that had just opened.
Meanwhile Li had finished putting on the armour and walked out into the open and saw a tower with a light on.
" Well, at least we know where the princess is! " Li said, " But where's the…"
" DRAGON! " Kero yelled then ran away from the eyeball.
Kero ran out of the room just as it filled with fire! A dragon burst through the wall and charged after him, crushing several skeletons as it went. Kero ran towards Li. The dragon stood up and opened its mouth. Hot red flames came bursting out, heading right towards Kero.
" Kero look out! " Li yelled jumping in front of the flame and pushing Kero out of the way. " Whoa! "
The flame hit Li, but Kero kept running. When he looked behind him the dragon had already come outside. Kero dived to the ground and covered his eyes. The dragon shot another stream of flames at Kero; it just scorched the tip of his tail.
" Ahhh! " Kero yelled in both pain and fear.
The dragon advanced further. It went down to eat Kero, but snapped it's mouth shut and looked behind it. Li had the dragon by the tail.
" Gotcha! " Li yelled tightening his grasp
The dragon turned around and almost stepped on Kero, but Kero moved out of the way just in time. The dragon swung its tail franticly trying to get Li off it's tail.
" Whoa! Wow! Whoaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! " Li yelled then was swung up into the air
Li crashed through the roof of where the princess's room was. The dragon went after Kero again, kero had gone into the tower so the dragon filled the tower with fire. Kero ran out onto a wall, the dragon smashed the part where Kero was planning to go onto, then it smashed the other side, and the first side again. Kero was trapped; he looked up in fear as the dragon stood up and towered over him. It roared.
" Oh no! No! " Kero yelled moving back wards, but stopped when he realized there was nothing behind him.
The dragon roared again showing it's white teeth.
" Oh what large teeth you have! " Kero yelled.
The Dragon roared again.
" Oh no I mean white sparkling teeth! I know, you must hear this all the time from your meals, but you must bleach or something 'cause that is one dazzling smile ya got there! And can I scent the hint of minty freshness? Ahem! And you know what else? You know what else… " Kero lied.
The dragon came up close to Kero smiling a pretty smile. It fluttered it's, or rather her eyelashes.
" You're…. A GIRL DRAGON! I MEAN, OF course you're a girl dragon! 'Cause you're just reeking of feminine beauty! " Kero lied again.
The dragon fluttered her eyelashes happily.
" What's the matter with chu you got something in your eye? " Kero asked.
The dragon blew a smoke ring in the shape of a heart in Kero's face.
" Wow! Wow! Wow I'd really love to stay but [cough] I'm and asthmatic and I don't know if it'd work out with you blowing smoke rings and stuff and uh…. LI! " Kero said then called for help and began to fly up into the air.
The dragon snapped onto Kero's tail gently and carried him off.
" AHAHAHHHH! NO! LI! NO! NO! LIIIII! " Kero yelled as the dragon carried him off.
Li was in the princess' room. Sakura had woken up when Li had crashed through the roof. She didn't see Li's face because he was wearing a helmet, she thought he was here to rescue her. Li stood up and brushed some dust off his shoulders. Sakura laid back down on her bed and pretended to sleep, she straightened out the top of her blue dress then lay down again. Then she grabbed a bunch of flowers and pretended to sleep again.
Li turned around, he saw the princess lying on the bed. { Just picture Sakura lying there wearing the same dress as princess Fiona, except her dress is a light blue color} He shrugged then walked over to her, he knelled on the bed then put his hands on her shoulders. Sakura puckered up her lips. Li then shook her like crazy.
" WHOOOOAAAHHH! " Sakura yelled as he shook her.
" Wake up! " Li told her.
" What? " Sakura asked opening her eyes.
" Are you princess Sakura? " Li asked.
" I am! " Sakura said. " Awaiting a knight so bold as to rescue me! "
" Oh that's nice. " Li said " Now let's go! "
Li headed towards the door.
" But wait! Sir knight! " Sakura protested.
Li looked back at her.
" This beith our first meeting! Should it not be, a wonderful, romantic moment? " Sakura asked dramatically and tossed the flowers away
" Yeah. " Li said not the least bit interested. " Sorry lady! But there's no time! "
Li grabbed her hand and pulled her off of the bed and towards the door.
" Wait! What are you doing? " Sakura asked as Li fiddled with the door handle.
" You know you should sweep me off my feet down yonder window down a rope onto you valiant steed! " Sakura told him.
" You've had a lot of time of plan this haven't you? " Li asked.
Sakura nodded. Li broke down the door. Pulling Sakura with him
" AHHHHHH! " Sakura yelled as he did so.
A cloud of dust arose when Li broke the door down. Sakura coughed
" Now come on! " Li yelled and ran down the stairs dragging her with him.
" But we have to saver this moment! You could, recite and epic poem for me! A balled! A Sonnet! A Liberic! Or something! " Sakura said then pulled her hand out of Li's grasp.
Li stopped running.
" I don't think so! " He said
" Well, can I at least, know the name of my champion? " Sakura asked out of breath.
" Um…Li!' he told her.
" Sir Li! Ahem " Sakura said as she pulled out a hankechief extending it towards Li " I pray that you take this favor, as a token of my gratitude! "
Li took the handkerchief confused at what it was for; he looked at her through the helmet.
" Thanks! " Li said then wipped his face with it.
Li handed it back to Sakura, who looked at it disgusted. Just then they heard the dragon roar.
" YOU DIDN'T SLAY THE DRAGON?! " Sakura yelled pissed off and afraid.
' It's on my to-do list! Now come on! " Li yelled then grabbed her hand and began to run again.
" But this isn't right! " Sakura protested, " You're supposed to charge in sword drawn banner flying! That's what all the other knights did! "
" Yeah! Right before they burst into flame! " Li yelled sarcastically.
" Yeah well that's not the point! " Sakura yelled
Li stopped running and let go of Sakura's hand. Li kept walking though as Sakura just stood there.
" *Sighs* where are going the exit's over there! " Sakura said pointing to her left.
" Well I have to save my teddy bear! " Li said turning around then turned around and kept walking.
" *Sighs* What kind of knight are you? " Sakura asked.
" One of a kind! " Li told her then opened a door.
