Chapter 4
-We Held on Fast
Kuja and Tori were still not allowed outside of the slums, but they never listened anyways. It was a beautiful day, so why should they spend it in the crappy, broken-down part of the city?
"Where should we go today?" Tori asked, as if nothing had happened the other day.
"Anywhere except the Auction House" Kuja muttered.
"Okay ... how about we go see if Dr. Tot's around?"
"Who?"
"He's the teacher for Princess Garnet" Tori explained.
"Who?"
"... You're hopeless."
Kuja glared at her, but didn't say anything.
She led him past the gates and the fountain at the front of Treno, and over to the noble's side of the city. There was a huge mansion where an old bird- lady (who was obsessed with some kind of coins) lived, a café, and the place where they had card tournaments. Instead of going there, they went to a tall tower that was farther to the left.
"There's a lot of stairs." Kuja said.
"yeah?" Tori said, not really listening, "Maybe Garnet'll be there!"
"What does she look like?"
"Brown hair, brown eyes. Dresses fancey, but she's the princess, so she has a right to"
"Whatever"
They climbed what seemed like a thousand stairs, until they got to the top. There was a guard there; the same guard that had been at the Auction House.
The guard smirked, "Oh, its you two again. You can't come in, because the princess is having a talk with Dr. Tot"
"Why did she come all this way?" Tori asked, "she's a princess! You'd think she'd get to stay at the castle all the time! And how come we never heard about it?!"
The guard shrugged. "What do you care? She's a princess! If she wants to go visit another city, she can. You're still not getting in. Scram, or I'll arrest you two again!"
"Ummm ... will you let me through?" a girl asked behind the guard.
"y-y-yeah! Sure!" He stammered and let a small girl with brown hair through.
She skipped down the stairs happily. Kuja couldn't stop staring, even when Tori started to pull at his hair.
"Ok! You saw her, we get it! Can you PLEASE snap out of it now?!" Tori growled.
"wow ... she's pretty" Kuja said stupidly, swishing his tail.
"Yeah, and she probly thought you were a very pretty girl as well" Tori said crossly. She only made fun of Kuja's looks when she was really mad, or in this case, a little jealous.
"huh?" Kuja said, not even noticing what Tori had just said.
"Guys." Tori muttered. Rolling her eyes, "You're all the same"
Finally. Kuja snapped out of it and smiled, "So, are we going to go see Dr. Tot?"
"No!" Tori snapped, "we're going back"
"Ok" he said and got that dumb look on her face again, "I heard that she's a summoner"
"I am too!" Tori yelled angrily, pointing at the horn on her head, "And I was the one who told you she's a summoner! Geez!"
"wow" Kuja said, not listening.
Tori grinned evilly and said, "Have you ever heard of 'make-up'?"
"What?" Kuja asked.
She giggled and ran back to the slums. When they got to the house, Tori told him to wait outside. A few minutes later she came back with a bag that belonged to Yasashii, the black-haired girl. Inside the bag was a ton of eye shadow, lip-gloss, and nail polish.
"That's Yasashii's stuff" Kuja said, eying the bag nervously.
"What'cha giving me that look for?" Tori grumbled, opening the bag and pulling out some mascara.
"What's that for?"
"It's supposed to make you look like you have thicker eyelashes." Tori answered, "Now get over here, pretty-boy"
