Chapter 2: The First Badge Is Found
Prince Peasley took his time walking around Teehee Valley. After all he hadn't had much to do recently. A glimmer caught his eye and he peered over his shoulder. Lying in the sand was a purple badge.
"Wonder how that got there?" Peasley asked, to no one in particular, and picked it up. He peered at it, and thought he saw a Bone Dragon.
"Now I'm seeing things. Great. Well, better leave this desert. It was a waste of time anyway." He pinned the badge to his shirt, and marched away through Teehee Valley.
When Peasley arrived back, he just went to his room. He sat boredly, staring at the badge shining in the moonlight. It glittered and shone. He took it off and placed it somewhere where it wouldn't be crushed. Suddenly Peasley felt rather tired, so he left his sword next to the badge and went to bed. In another part of the castle, the most panicky guard was chatting to another.
"It's nothin' to worry about," stated the first guard. "He does that sometimes."
"What if something's wrong?" worried the second.
"Shut up, stupid, and do whatever it is you're supposed to do."
The second guard shuffled timidly outside and turned around for a second.
"Are you completely sure?"
The first guard completely lost his patience at that moment and kicked the second guard outside.
"You dummy! If I say it's gonna be okay, it's gonna be okay! Now get yourself out there and do your job!!"
Peasley was still fast asleep, despite that the two guards' argument had woken half of the Beanbean Castle. There were people making lots of noise in the other half of the castle because they had all been woken up and none of them could get back to sleep. After everyone had finally became tired enough to go back to sleep, it was almost midnight.
Somewhere down in the sewers, slowly climbing up the stairs, was a figure. No, make that two. One was short and thin, and the other tall and fat. The thin one carried a bag of powder in its hand. The two figures sneaked quietly up the castle staircase, not making a sound as they sneaked into Peasley's room and dumped the powder over the badge. The badge began to glow, and the two figures zoomed down the staircase and out of the castle. Peasley shuddered once, but didn't wake up. The badge continued to shine, making the whole castle glow with light..
(Note from Dark: Well thanks TurquoisePhoenix for reviewing my story.
Fawful: Dark, you idiot of foolishness! I have found my headgear at last! :zooms away:)
