Chapter 3: The search for Rudolph
After finding him sleeping in the Liger, Rudolph had a very good explanation for why he was there.
Now that Rudolph was in a quiet area, he started thinking off all the things he could do as a kid, a normal one.
"I wonder if they have ice cream so I can eat it out of the carton, without being told what's unmannerable." Rudolph says thinking to himself. "That would rock."
Dinning hall*
Karl and Van are done setting the table.
"I wonder what really made him do what he did." Karl speaks up putting the butter in the middle of the table.
"I told you, the stress and hardships." Van says fixing the cloth.
"I have tough decisions to make as a Major, but even I wouldn't run like he did." Karl says turning to van.
"Well Karl you really have to look at it his way. He's only a kid, about 9, and he's a prince, the only one who everyone relies on, probably with no help, and plus Prozen and his boys keep trying to hold him for ransom." Van explains with hand motions. "I really don't blame him."
"Yeah, but what would the empire do without him?" Karl questions. Van just shrugs.
The bedroom*
Rudolph is slightly dozing off to the silence in the room, when suddenly a thought hits him.
"Maybe I'll get to see Moonbay." Rudolph says now having her on the mind. (I know his arranged marriage is with Maryanne, but he still has that crush. Read my other fic for details)
Dinning Hall*
Irvine and Moonbay have just entered the dinning hall, now after hearing the dinner bell.
"Now I know you two and how you are. Rudolph is here on vacation of some sort, so I want you two to behave yourselves." Karl says turning to Moonbay and Irvine.
"We haven't had a good second here and already we catch whiplash." Irvine says as Moonbay nods.
"We will behave Karl." Moonbay says taking a seat with Irvine's help.
"Ill go get Rudolph." Van says leaving the dinning area.
Bedroom*
"I hope she isn't taken." Rudolph says still having Moonbay on the mind. Soon after Rudolph says that, there is a knock at the door.
"Come in." Rudolph says turning as Van comes in.
"Van you don't need to knock." Rudolph says getting off the bed and walking towards the door.
"It's the only polite way to go." Van says watching him leave and soon following him down the hall.
"So what's for dinner?" Rudolph asks while they walk.
"Um it's kinda of a mix of everything." Van says as they enter the dinning hall. When they walk in, Rudolph can see Moonbay with Irvine, chatting.
Rudolph takes a seat between Van and Fiona, making Moonbay and Irvine turn to him in surprise.
"How are you enjoying your stay emperor?" Karl asks as he passes the buns to Fiona.
"Please Karl, don't be so formal. Just call me Rudolph. I'm on vacation remember?" Rudolph says as Van passes him the steak platter. "I'm enjoying the peace I'm getting."
"Prince Rudolph what a surprise." Moonbay says slapping Irvine's hand off her right leg.
"Don't worry Moonbay, no surprise inspections. I'm here on vacation." Rudolph says taking a bite of his food. "I see you're well."
"Yeah I'm fine." Moonbay says as Irvine continues what he is doing.
"Stop it Irvine. Later ok?" Moonbay says through a smile.
"Fine." Irvine says eating his food as well.
"So what do you plan on doing while you're here Rudolph?" Fiona asks politely.
"Oh I'm not sure. Just act like a normal kid. Like eat Ice cream out of the carton, stay up late and watch Tv, and jump on my bed." Rudolph says smiling at each answer.
"Prince that's not like you." Karl says.
"That's the point Karl." Van says. "He just wants to be normal and you know what, I'm going to let him have that freedom."
"Me too." Fiona says smiling, which makes Rudolph smile.
"He just wants to be like we were. I mean having the burden of being the emperor, I would want that too." Irvine says finishing his mashed potatoes.
"What's the first thing you want to do tonight?" Van asks turning to Rudolph.
"MMM let me see. Well since it's like night here, then watch a movie and stay up all night." Rudolph says.
"Done." Van says as he finishes his dinner.
"Thanks everyone." Rudolph says, putting smiles on everyone's face, except Karl's. He's not sure how that's going to turn out.
Imperial Forces*
Maryanne and 3 Imperial Guards are still wondering with no signs of Rudolph.
"Can't you pick up on his body heat or something?" Maryanne asks getting frustrated.
"No we can't Lady Maryanne." The guard says sighing.
"Please find my Rudolph." Maryanne stresses.
"I have a pretty good idea who might be behind this." The guard says making a right.
Prozen's Palace*
Prozen is having a meeting about something.
"Can you see these last moths weapon budget?" Prozen stresses. "We spent a thousand dollars on missile pods alone."
"Excuse me Prozen, but that's April's chart." Stinger says pointing that out. (Stinger does hang with them right?)
Prozen looks at the top and spots April across it.
"So it is." Prozen says now switching to June, which it is for them. (Wish it was for us. Damn winter)
Before Prozen continues, the palace was hit with a missile, making the others in the conference flee the scene.
"What the hell was that?" Prozen asks now turning around to the window to see the reason for the missile.
"Prozen, we know you have emperor Rudolph hand him over at once." The guard calls out through a megaphone.
"God you do one thing and they never let you forget it." Prozen says sighing, now walking towards the window.
"Rudolph isn't here. I haven't done anything wrong today." Prozen yells out.
"I'm going to say it again, release the emperor." The guard says again. Maryanne jumps out of the royal Saber and runs towards the palace.
"Lady Maryanne, get back here. You might get hurt." The guard yells after her, but she continues running, now inside.
When she gets inside, she runs down a hall, but stops when she sees Prozen in the conference room. She runs in there and gets on the table.
"Where is my fiancé?" Maryanne asks demanding to know.
"I don't have him kid, now go away." Prozen says picking up his charts.
"You liar. I know your past." Maryanne says getting angry.
"I said I don't. Now leave me alone." Prozen says putting his charts back on the rack.
Maryanne gets off the table and stands in front of Prozen.
"Remember this the next time you even think about doing anything to my Rudolph." Maryanne says, swinging her foot and now making contact with his kneecap. Prozen drops the tripod and now is holding his knee, trying to hold in his scream.
Maryanne walks off, leaving him in pain.
"That damn kid. That hurt, ouch." Prozen says holding his knee.
Guardian Force Base*
The dinning hall has been cleared and everyone is done eating. Rudolph is in the recreational area eating ice cream from the carton, while switching channels on the Tv.
"Nothing, nothing, Nothing and nothing." Rudolph says still switching the channels while eating the ice cream.
Van and Fiona are outside the room, silently watching him.
"I say he's enjoying himself." Fiona says watching him switch constantly.
"I know he is. Poor kid has to be the one to make huge decisions of the Gygolous empire all on his own." Van says now sounding sympathetic.
"I know van. I wish it was it is a way we can help him when he goes back." Fiona says turning to Van.
"Well while he's here, let's make the best of it now." Van says as he and Fiona walk away from the doorway and to her room.
"God I love being a regular kid, but I wonder how long this will last." Rudolph says as he feels himself doze off. His eyes finally close and he drifts off to sleep.
Moonbay, who is going to her room, passes the recreational area, but turns back to check on Rudolph. She can see he is sleeping.
"I see being normal wore him out for the night." Moonbay says walking in and turning off the television. She takes the ice cream and closes it back. She puts it on the table and takes the cover he has, and puts that over him.
"Good night Rudolph." Moonbay whispers as she exits the room, turning off the light behind her.
Rudolph is fast asleep. Moonbay continues on her way to her room.
Imperial Guards*
The guards and Maryanne have arrived back at the empire, with plans on finding Rudolph at dawn.
"Get some rest Lady Maryanne and we will go searching for Rudolph at Dawn." The guard says now closing the door to her room. Maryanne lays back in bed and stares at her picture of Rudolph.
"Please be ok Rudolph." Maryanne says staring at his picture, before dozing off herself, while his picture rests in her lap.
Well did you like it or hate it? I finally got a moment to update just this one. It's late here right now. I don't know when this will be updated again or the rest of my others because I start school Monday and I have 9 credit hours this time. So please look for the other updates next week.
Review and tell me how you love it.
Thanks.
