Chapter Five: King And Queen Of The Amazons

Neither Roderick nor Ada could sleep so as they did what they normally would. Young Roderick would wake someone up and begin a long conversation with them until he was tired. The person usually ended up being Ada if she was visiting, but Roderick wanted to talk with Pietro. He had heard his parents speak of him and Ada being a couple, and Roderick being the loving cousin he was wanted to make sure the young man's intentions were good, even if the little boy had no idea what it meant. As for Ada she would normally walk around or watch Roderick sleep. She had a close bond with the young boy; Ada had always been good with children, so it wasn't unexpected that the two would be close.

"Vake up!" Roderick shook Pietro violently.

Pietro opened his eyes to see the intruder of his rest. When he saw the young boy he rolled his eyes, and turned his back to him.

Roderick didn't let that stop him, so he jumped to the other side of Pietro to get his attention. Pietro turned his back to the boy again, amusing the young child, who could very well keep this up all night.

While the two 'played' Ada walked past her cousin's room, the door was open and she took a peek inside. To her surprise and delight, little Roderick was playing with Pietro. ^^He deserves it. ^^ she thought smiling.

"Pietro?" The boy asked.

Pietro decided that maybe if he answered the boy's question maybe he would let him sleep. "What?"

"You are vith my cousin?" Roderick questioned.

"What do you mean with?" Pietro shot back. Ada's eyes widened as she heard her you cousin, but she wanted to see where the young boy was headed with his interrogation.

"You like her." Roderick stated. He listened intently to the older boys answer.

"Ada and I," Pietro stammered. "We, well, we-"

Ada decided to step in "Roderick? Was tun Sie oben so spät?" (What are you doing up so late?) She saw Pietro sigh in relief. But he decided to listen in on their conversation, even if he didn't understand it.

"Ich könnte nicht erhalten zu schlafen."(I could not get to sleep.) He told her.

"Schließen Sie dann Ihre Augen. Stören Sie nicht Pietro." (Then close your eyes. Do not bother Pietro.) She replied. Pietro heard his name, and he continued his useless ease dropping.

Roderick smiled. "Sie mögen ihn Ada?" (You like him don't you Ada?).

Ada blushed a tiny bit, but didn't let Roderick see it. "Das ist genügend Roderick. Gehen Sie jetzt schlafen." (That is enough Roderick. Now go to bed.)

Roderick made a childish pouting face, as his weapon, and begged. "Ich kann nicht, mich eine Geschichte bitte bitten zu fallen schlafend. Bitte Ada." (I cannot, please tell me a story to fall asleep. Please Ada.)

Ada gave in. "Gut." (Alright.) And she told him his favorite bedtime story about a knight fighting a dragon, and saving the princess. But before the end, Roderick had fallen asleep. Ada smiled, and gave him a kiss on the forehead. She stood up and began to walk out when a voice stopped her.

"Wow," Pietro could tell by her hand motions and different tones of voice that she had told him a story. "What story was it?"

She smiled. "Just a story I made up for him, it's about Knight Roderick and how he slayed the dragon of Donaueschingen, and saved lovely princess Ada from the evil dragon."

"Interesting." Pietro smiled, he would never admit it but he though it was sweet the way she was so motherly to the boy. Pietro had never had anyone like that for him when he was young. "He's lucky."

Ada raised an eyebrow. "How so?"

Pietro was being serious now. "To have someone who cares so much about him."

Ada was taken aback, "Everyone has someone who cares about them." She told him matter of factly.

Pietro shook his head. "Not everyone."

She could tell there was something wrong, and well she felt bad. Her empathy took over and she asked him half serious and half as a joke. "Would you like me to tell you a story?"

Pietro laughed a little. "Sure."

Again Ada was surprised, but she moved over to where Pietro was, and sat next to him. "Alright what story do you want to hear?"

Pietro thought for a moment. "About the knight Pietro." He smiled.

"Alright," She replied. "Once upon a time, their was a young man-"

"Handsome young man." Pietro added.

"Handsome young man, named Pietro. He wanted to become a knight of the hood." Pietro laughed at this. Ada continued. "He traveled afar to the county of New York, and had to fight the evil Duke Evan in a game of basketball. Unfortunately for the young man, he lost to the Duke. So the Duke sentenced him to exile in the Amazons, where he met the mean Amazon princess Ada. Princess Ada broke Pietro's foot when he first arrived in her homeland because he had disturbed her relaxing bubble bath." She gave a playful glared at Pietro who had become highly entertained by the story. "Eventually the rule-"

Pietro decided to tell some of the story. "The ruler of the Amazons became intrigued by the stud, and while he was on a date with one of her council she kissed Pietro passionately."

Ada rolled her eyes, and decided to interrupt "Because she was under an evil spell cast by the evil wizard Magneto. And the only way for Pietro to break the spell was to help rescue the people of South G, with the help of the Amazons."

"Pietro fought bravely and killed the evil wizard breaking the spell, but as it turned out the Princess was actually in love with the man, so they got married. And they were crowned him King and Queen of the Amazons, the hood found out and ventured from afar to make him a knight of the hood. And they all lived happily ever after." Pietro added.

"The end." Ada stood up, and walked to the doorway. "Goodnight Pietro." She left the room, and headed toward her own. She felt a gust of wind push her around, and she found herself on her bed, with Pietro smiling over her. Before she could protest she felt his lips cover her own, and he kissed her. She was surprised by the kiss but she was even more surprised because she kissed him back. When the kiss ended, he smiled down at her.

Pietro got up, and bowed to Ada, and with a smile he said sweetly "Goodnight my queen." And he left the room as a gust of wind.
