Author's Note: This is kinda another chapter where we don't do much, not
the best chapter if you ask me...kinda having a bit of writers block. But
at least I'm outta school!! *Cheers* Well, thanks for the reviews and hope
this doesn't suck too much.

Chapter 15: Royal Brat
(After winning over the gatekeeper -- )
Boberto: Yeah, if that's what you wanna call it then go ahead
Timoty: We are NEVER using Ania again as a "negotiator"
Ania: My "negotiating" skills are just fine
All: Suuuuure they are
Me: You do know that we are using the word "negotiation" as a euphenism for seducing, right Wesley?
Wesley: I KNOW! I KNOW!
( -- we walked into the Twin Castle, with Binchenzo, the party pooper, in the lead)
Wesley: *walks to the right*
Binchenzo: Can't go that way
Wesley: *walks to the left*
Binchenzo: Can't go that way, either
Wesley: Then where CAN I go?
Binchenzo: Straight.
Wesley: *reaches out to touch a statue of a very regal-looking dead guy*
Binchenzo: AND DON'T TOUCH ANYTHING EITHER!
Wesley: Party pooper
(That's just what I said. And we enter the throne room)
King Leif: Binchenzo, you are here finally. Alona's been waiting for over...uh...five minutes...
Binchenzo: .... yeesss well, I will go tend to her, but first my friends have a request
King Leif: Oh, good I thought I was seeing things. So what do you want?
Wesley: We want to go to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity.
King Leif: Why does everyone suddenly wanna go to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity?! Just the other day, some kid from Donau wanted the same thing.
Wesley: Well, that's one of the reasons we wanna go....to go save the kid from Donau and to retrieve something the gang stole from me
King Leif: You DO know the dangers that you face? Not only will you face the Eastsiders, but also warped gravity
Nikole: That sounds like fuuuuunnn.....
King Leif: *raised eyebrow*
Wesley: We understand perfectly. Plus, if we run into any trouble, Tina can just insult them to death
Me: I'm confused...was he complimenting me, or insulting me?
King Leif: Well...alright, you can go. Guard! Bring them a pass
Guard: *hands Wesley a pass*
Me: Hey, that looks like my school's athletic pass!
King Leif: It's getting late, and since I established the city's curfew you six should probably stay in the Castle.
Nikole: And can we go wherever we want?
King Leif: Basically...
All: WOHOO!! *Runs out*
King Leif: *blink blink* Okay then
~ ~ ~
Nikole: Well, PHOOEY!! Those damn guards won't let us go ANYWHERE!!!
Guards: You'd better watch your mouth, missy
Nikole: X-P
Wesley: We might as well get outta here --
Lady-in-waiting: Wait!
All: What?
Lady: King Boberto, wait!
Boberto: Helllllss yes, SOMEBODY finally believes me!
Lady: Princess Alona wishes to speak with you and your companions. She's just upstairs, follow me.
Me: *while following the Lady-in-waiting* But how did the princess know that Boberto's a king?
Lady: Princess Alona has the ability to read people's future by looking at the stars *opens the door to Princess Alona's room*
Alona: Thank you, Libira, you are dismissed.
Wesley: But how does reading Boberto's future help you figure out his status as king?
Alona: Astrology is much more than reading the future.
Wesley: Astronomy?
Alona: Astro-LOGY.
Wesley: Well, what's the difference?
Alona: Do I seriously have to explain it to this guy?
Me: You can probably ignore him, he'll forget bout it in a couple of minutes anyway
Wesley: I'm RIGHT HERE you know!
Me: I know.
Boberto: So what did you want to talk to us about, Alona?
Alona: It's about my sister, Andrea
Wesley: Princess Andrea?!
Alona: ...yes.... you see, she's never been mean or snobby, but suddenly after a horse-riding accident six months ago Andrea's taken on a whole new personality!
Nikole: Six months ago....HEY! that's when the Eastsiders first showed up in Donau!
Alona: Yes, and in Fletz as well
Ania: Wait a minute, SIX MONTHS?! How long have we been in this stupid game?!
Me: You never really know...I can never figure out the time frame in this game....
Timoty: So what do you want us to do about your sister's transformation?
Alona: You guys are going to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity, right?
All: *nods*
Alona: When you confront the gang there, I want you to find out the relationship between Andrea and the Eastsiders
Wesley: Relationship between Andrea and the Eastsiders?
Alona: Is there an ECHO in my room that I've never known about?! Or is someone just being really annoying?!
Wesley: It's in the job description! I don't repeat people in real life! It's all Dart!
Dart: HEY!
[Dart, go away]
Dart: Sorry *lowers head and leaves*
Timoty: Where do they all keep coming from?
Me: Beats me
Alona: Wait, I have more! The stars keep telling me "never hand over the moon"
Me: Maybe the stars can tell you why I'm friends with these people
All cept me: We love you too, Tina
Me: I know you do :-D
Alona: Well, back to MY problem...I assume the stars are talking about the Moon Dagger, the Divine Moon Object of Tiberoa, which is to be handed down to Andrea on her next birthday
All: And when's that?
Alona: Very soon
Boberto: The Moon Gem of Serdio was stolen by Jimbo, so maybe there's a connection between Andrea and the gang and Jimbo
Alona: So will you help me?
All: Sure, why not we have nothing better to do.
Alona: Great! Now, I think dinner's ready so why don't you all come to the dining hall...I bet you haven't had a decent cooked meal in a while...
All: *drools* FOOD!!! *Runs out to the dining hall*
Alona: Alrighty then
~ ~ ~
(Wesley, Nikole, Ania, Timoty, Boberto, Alona, Binchenzo, and I are now sitting quietly at the banquet table, with King Leif at the head and just across from him sits Andrea, scarfing down her food like there's no tomorrow)
All: _-
Wesley: She's dribbling a bit
Me: How graceful
King Leif: *nervous chuckle* I guess when girls get close to their birthdays, they suddenly aquire a very big appetite
Wesley: I thought that only happened during PMS
All girls: *chucks forks at Wesley*
Wesley: Ack! *Ducks*
Timoty: Another reason why you don't have our sympathy
Boberto: *nods in agreement*
Binchenzo: Oh, where are my manners? Princess Andrea --
Andrea: Binchenzo, YOU'RE still here? You still teaching Alona all that star crap?
Wesley: She's ruder than Tina
Me: You know, there ARE people meaner than me
Binchenzo: *ignore* Well, um, Princess Andrea these are --
Andrea: *points to Wesley, Boberto, and Timoty* What are their names?
Binchenzo: Wesley, Boberto, and Timoty...but you know Boberto and Timoty already
Andrea: I do?
All: *nod* They went to middle school with you
Andrea: OH! That's right...I'm sorry, the shock from the game just kinda made me forgot....
Binchenzo: Right, well the others are --
Andrea: Did I ASK about the others?!
Binchenzo: No
Andrea: Then don't TELL me about them
Me, Nikole, and Ania: Oh no she didn't
King Leif: You know they're going to the Valley of Corrupted Gravity tomorrow? To go confront the Eastsiders....apparently they took something very valuable to them
Andrea: *drops her fork and stares for a moment* Really? Wow, that's uh, fascinating....I -- *picks up her fork* Stupid daredevils
~ ~ ~
(In the bedroom)
Nikole: Well that feast SUCKED!
Ania: Tell me about it! I didn't get to eat my fair share, and Andrea IGNORED me!!
Boberto: And that was strange how she didn't recognize Timoty and me
Ania: *yawn* I'm tired, I'm going to bed now *lies down on the nearest bed*
Boberto: Me too *lies down in the bed across from hers*
Nikole: *bounces on the bed next to Ania's* What are YOU looking at?
[This is where the Haschel within Timoty comes out temporarily]
Timoty: You just remind me of Claire. Except, she was much more mature
Wesley: Ya really miss her, don't ya?
Timoty: Ya, I just wish I could see her in a wedding dress
Nikole: You can see ME in a wedding dress! I would look totally beautiful, wouldn't I, Wesley?! ^_^
Wesley: Yeah...sure...
Nikole: I don't like the way you said that! *Smack*
Wesley: Ow! I was just kidding!
Nikole: You better have been....don't you think I would look beautiful in a wedding dress, Tina?! I think you would look good in a wedding dress, too! Whadya say to that?! :-D
Me (who is leaning against a bed post, in traditional Rose-fashion): *hurt, angry glare* I'm going to bed *lies down in the furthest bed, with my face turned to the wall*
Timoty: Can I come too? Hehe
Me: Shut up *pulls covers over face*
Nikole: Now look what you did, Timoty!
Timoty: I don't understand, what did I say?
Wesley: I wouldn't worry about it, she can get very emotional very quickly. Well, I'm turning in...you guys should too. We got a big day ahead of us.
Nikole: That is, if the hype concerning the Valley of Corrupted Gravitiy turns out to be true
Wesley: Good night Nikole, Timoty
Nikole and Timoty: Good night
