Again, none of these characters belong to me. Disney owns all of the Hercules characters and the rest belong to histroy. And with that, on with the fanfic!
Chapter 2:
"Are we there yet?", Herc mummbled, half asleep, from the back of Pegasus.
"Almost sweetie",Meg answered. They had been flying for about 7 hours now. Meg was sitting in front of Hercules, his arms still lightly around herand his head resting on her shoulder. She looked down at the vast expansion of desert below them . Feeling her stomach turn, she shut her eyes and quickly lifted her head up. "I gotta stop doing that",she sighed. The hight was making her nervous, especially when Herc was asleep, and the hot afternoon sun wasn't making the trip anymore comfortable. 'Oh well', she thought, 'At least I'm getting a good tan.' She smiled at the thought and glanced back at Hercules. His copper-tone muscles would definatly take her mind off the hight.
Turning back around, she saw the sharp top of a building sparkling on the horizon. As they moved closer, the point moved higher and higher above the sand dunes, until, suddenly, an entire city of gold and sandstone expanded out in front of them. Meg's eyes went wide. Each building seemed to have a golden sparkle in the sun. Buildings of every size, in shapes that she had never seen before. Tall, black towers that came to a point and had strange writing on the sides, rose from each corner of the city. To the far left was a valley, dotted with pyramids, and large statues of kings and gods were everywhere. And in the very center of it all, rose a tall, shimmering palace made of polished marble, and trimmed in gold.
"Hercules!", Meg gasped.
Hercules awoke with a jerk. "W-What?", he asked, sleepily running his fingers through his hair. Meg grabbed his shirt to keep him from falling off of Pegasus.
"Look!", she whispered.
Pegasus took off into the sky, leaving Herc and Meg waving to him from the ground.
"Bye Peg,"Herc called Alone at last, Hercules put his arm around his fiance. The whole city was layed out infront of them, waiting to be explored. "What do you think?", Herc asked,"Better than Thebes?"
Meg laughed,"Where's our hotel, Wonderboy?"
"Um, I forgot"
"Hercules!" she put her hands on her hips.
"Really, I forgot!"
"Hercules!",She gave him a slap on the arm, "Tell me!"
"Alright, alright!",Herc laughed, He took her hand and started walking toward the hotel.
"I wanna freshen up before we go out again," Meg said. "Yeah, ok", Hercules had his eyes on the palace that could be seen over the tops of the buildings."I wonder if that's where Cleopatra lives." "Really? Cleopatra?", Meg asked,"...I wonder if we'll get to see her."
They walked along the sand-paved streets until the road abruptly stopped and marble steps began. The steps ran up to the base of a large,marble building. A sign in front read:The Golden Lotus Hotel.
"Well..."Herc said, still looking up, "This is it."
"You're kidding! This is ours!?"
"Sure", Hercules smiled "Come on." Meg looked up at the hotel,"I feel underdressed."
They walked in through the front, their sandles clicking on the lobby floor. Maroons and golds highlighted the crystal shandeleir on the ceiling Herc approached the front desk,"A...I'm Hercules. I sent a letter for a resurvation."
"Ah, yes,"said a snobbish man behind the counter, " You must have been the one who sent it Hermes express. We've been expecting you." He snapped his fingers and a bell hop came for their bags. He handed them a key from the rack on the wall. "Room #428", he pointed to the stairs.
Herc handed the key to meg as they ascended the steps,"You'd better hold on to it." Meg smiled ,"Good idea."
Their room was a penthouse with a beautiful view of the Nile. The sun shone through the window onto the rich golden highlights in the room.
"Wow! Check out the bed!", Meg smirked. She flopped down on it,"King size". Herc jumped onto the bed beside her."I'm hungry"
"I'm not surprised. Let me get ready and we can find a place to eat lunch."
"Ok",Herc's eyes fell on a large basket on the table as he sat up."What's that?" He went over and opened the envelope next to the basket of exotic foods.
"Your fame has exceeded you from Greece and your visit has been much anticipated. Your pressence is requested by his majesty the King in the royal dining hall tomorrow night,"he read aloud.
Meg raised her eyebrows,"Are you going?"
"Well, Yeah, why not? Don't you want to?"
"Me? Well...I wasn't exactly invited, but..I did want to meet Cleopatra," Meg smiled.
Hercules and Meg walked down the street hand in hand, sightseeing and looking for a spot to eat lunch. The busy streets were full of shoppers, fire eaters, and people trying to solicit them at every corner. Meg already had gotten a souvenier tiara and a little snow globe with a cat inside, and Hercules had one of those huge pairs of sunglasses.
"Wonderboy, look at that!", Meg pointed to a man sitting on the street corner taming a cobra. Feeling a tap on her shoulder, she turned to see Hercules dangling a rubber snake in her face. "OH! Where did you get that stupid thing?"
"Over there", Herc laughed," Come on, there's a resturant up ahead and I'm starving!" Meg laughed and ran ahead of him.
"This is nice", she sighed. They were sitting at a quiet table outside the resturant waiting for their order. " We can actually walk around in public without being clobbered by sex-crazed teenie boppers!"
"Yeah", Herc agreed,"No screaming fans. Just you and me."
Meg smiled, and just as they were about to kiss there was a loud scream from around the corner. Hercules looked up as there was another sceam from the croud: "A Griffin! A Griffin! Help! Someone!"
They could hear the Griffin as it crashed through the streets. Herc looked longingly at the croud. He couldn't just ignore the all of those people. He looked at Meg, barely able to stay in his seat, but waiting for her permission.
"Oh Herc. You promised!...sigh Go on!".
"Are-are you sure?"
"Go!"
Hercules ran down the street. "Be careful!", Meg called after him. She slumped back in her chair. sigh "Not a moments peace."
"Are you sure that's her?"
"Positive! She's grown her hair out, but that's her alright!"
Two muscular egyptian men stood in the shadows whispering. A few feet away Meg could be seen sitting at the table alone.
"Come quickly," the first man whispered,"While no one will see."
"The king will be pleased", said the second. The two men walked out behind Megara. The first man grabbed her arm.
"What-", Meg whirled around to see the two huge men infront of her. "Excuse me, big guy, is there something you want?!" She yanked her arm from his grasp. "Come, your highness," the first one said,"We must return to the palace."
Meg stared at them for a second before she burst out laughing,"This is a joke, right? Did Herc put you up to this? Very funny. Hey, incase you haven't noticed, there's a griffin on the loose; you guys had better get out of here." The second man grabbed her with more force,"The change in your appearence does not fool us, your highness. Your father is waiting for you."
"It is to your benifit that you have returned to Egypt," said the first. Megara's smile faded,"What are you talking about? Look, I don't think you've got the right person here!"
"You should not have been so bold as to wear your crown in public."
"What? This thing?" Meg yanked off her tiara,"It's plastic! Look, I-" The two men grabbed her and tried to pull her away. "Hey!" Meg yelled,"Let me go! Wonderboy! Herc-"
A cloth came around her mouth and suddenly everyhting went black. The two men caught her as she collapsed to the ground, and put her in a large basket which they covered and carried down the street.
Dum Dum DUM! To Be Continued! Well I'd better get to work on the next chapter:D Email me and tell me what you think.
