Happily Ever After

Chapter Two; The Middle- Part One

Tyson stomped over to the car feeling put out.

"One true love," he muttered, "As if something like that could ever be true."

"Well considering you live in a world where fairytales run rampant, I'd say it has a particularly good chance!"

Tyson jumped, "Ahh!" He spun around and came face to face with a little blue dragon that was somehow floating in mid air, "Who, or what are you!"

The dragon grinned, showing off its impressive set of teeth, and Tyson fought the urge to run, "I'm your fairy godmother!" it said happily.

Tyson face faulted, "But you're a guy!"

"So was the princess!"

"Yeah, but he……….." Tyson trailed off, not quite sure what to say.

The dragon patted him on the shoulder, "There, there, I know you've had a rough day, finding out your one true love is a boy, even if he is a looker," the dragon smiled lecherously at him (at least Tyson thought he was smiling lecherously, it was hard to tell when dealing with a collection of teeth that made all smiles look like they were hungry ones).

"So you're my fairy godmother," said Tyson slowly, and then quickly added, "And he's not my one true love."

The dragon nodded, "I'm Dragoon!"

"Do I get wishes?" asked Tyson looking hopeful.

Dragoon shook his head, "Sorry, I don't do wishes, but I can give you some advice!"

Tyson looked put out, "Fine, but I have to say I'd prefer some wishes."

Dragoon ignored him, "You must save the princess!"

Tyson rolled his eyes, "Sorry, you're a little late. I've already done that. He gave me a receipt and everything."

Dragoon shook his head, "No you haven't! And you have to go back to the castle right away!"

Tyson shook his head stubbornly and glared at his fairy godmother, "No. I've done my job and I'm going home."

"But the princess does have to be saved!"

"From what? He said he was fine."

Dragoon's expression darkened, and he said conspiriously, "He needs to be saved from the big bad wolf!"

Tyson deadpanned, "I thought that was little red riding hood."

Dragoon shrugged, "Well, the big bad wolf got sick of blubbering little girls with bad fashion sense and has moved on to bigger and better things."

"Well where is he?'

At that moment a boy with bright red hair dressed in white, orange and dark blue sauntered past.

Dragoon nodded at him, "And there's your wolf."

Tyson sweatdropped, "Err………That's not a wolf, he's just some guy."

Dragoon sighed, "So picky. Here," He waved his tail at the boy, and he suddenly grew a bushy wolf tail and wolf ears, "Happy?"

"I suppose……………"

"Now off you go to save your princess."

Tyson moved forward, and then paused, "Hang on," he pulled out his receipt, "I've already saved him, so I don't need to do it again! See! He signed it and everything. Someone else can do it!"

"You saved him from a dead spider. Real heroic."

"Yeah, but-"

Dragoon sighed, "Just imagine what your family will think of you if they found out……….."

"But he-"

"And do you really wolf boy over there to have the gorgeous Kai in his clutches?"

"No, but-"

"Then off you go!"

Tyson suddenly found himself standing behind the 'wolf' outside Kai's front door, just as it was opened by Kai.

Kai blinked, totally ignoring the red head, and stared at Tyson, "You came back?"

From the death glare he was receiving from the wolf, Tyson was sure that his presence, and Kai's fixed attention on him, was not at all appreciated.

"Yeah, I-" he started, but was cut off by the red head grabbing Kai and pulling him to him.

"I'm Tala," said the wolf in a tone of voice that perfectly matched his species.

Kai blinked, "And I'm going to pull your tail off if you don't let go."

"That's an interesting name," said Tala, "But I'd much rather call you 'mine'. "

Both Tyson and Kai sweatdropped.

"Now there's a lame pick up line if ever I heard one," muttered Tyson, earning a sharp glare from Tala.

Kai smiled wryly, and unsuccessfully attempted to remove Tala's arms from his person. "Can I help you?" he asked. His voice was quiet, but dangerous.

"Why yes you can," said Tala smoothly, "You can marry me!"

"What?" cried Tyson.

Max suddenly appeared in the doorway beaming, "Ooh! You're back!" he exclaimed, and pushed in between Kai and Tala and ran forward to hug Tyson, effectively separating Kai from the wolf.

Kai immediately backed away looking wary.

Tala smirked at Kai, "Come on, my beautiful wife to be, lets go get married."

Upon hearing this Max quickly disentangled himself from Tyson and stood in front of Kai, "I'm afraid you can't do that!"

Tala glared threateningly at the blonde, "And why is that?"

"Because Princess Kai is going to marry Prince Tyson!" exclaimed Max, pointing a finger at the said Prince Tyson.

Kai blinked, "I am?"

Tyson blinked, "He is?"

Max nodded, "And you shall live happily ever after! For you are each others one true love! My fairy godmother Draciel told me so!"

Tala glared at him, "Well my fair godmother Wolborg told me I was to marry Princess Kai!"

Tyson deadpanned, "Where the hell are all these fairy godmothers coming from?"

Kai scowled, "I don't know, but I want to find out so I can tell them exactly what I think of these marriage proposals."

Tala suddenly stopped glaring at Max and smirked, "I know how we can sort this out."

"How?" asked Max.

"A quest."

Tyson groaned, "No! Not a quest! I've already had one today!"

Tala ignored him, "Okay Princess, you have to pick something that we have to find. The first one to get it and give it to you, gets to marry you. Does that sound fair?"

Max nodded, "Sounds good to me."

Tyson just shrugged.

Kai stared at them, "Are you people all insane? I'm a boy! You can't marry me! I can't be a bride! I'm a boy!"

Max poked him, "You said you were a boy twice."

"I'm making sure the message is clear," snapped Kai. "And there is no way I'm going to allow you to do this. I have the right to marry whoever I damn well please."

Tala shook his head, "Now that's where you're wrong," he pulled a large book seemingly out of nowhere, and in a bold font on it's cover was, 'The Official Rulebook of Fairytales',"Let's see now…………." Tala began to flip through it, "Here we are, page 153, paragraph 8. Princesses have absolutely no say in who they marry, especially if a contest between two eligible suitors is involved. Oh, and there's a footnote………………Yes, that does include you Princess Kai." Tala looked mildly impressed, "Wow, this author is good."

Kai glared at him, "What?" he also proceeded to pull his copy of 'The Official Rulebook of Fairytales' out of nowhere, and flipped through it. He swore when he saw that Tala was right.

Tala smiled smugly, "Well, now that's settled, I believe you need to think of an item."

Kai glowered, but thought for a moment, "There's a golden egg which is guarded by a wild boy on Mt Bigfoot, you have to get the egg."

Tala nodded, "Alright, I will take my leave and go and get this golden egg for you," he walked over to Kai, grabbed his hand and kissed it, "Farwell my bride to be, and I look forward to our wedding night."

Kai blushed and gritted his teeth, appearing to be restraining himself from doing something violent.

Tyson sighed as Tala left, "Well, I guess I'll be going now." He walked over to Kai and patted him on the shoulder, "Have a nice life with wolf boy, and I hope to see you at the wedding."

"What?" yelped Max.

Tyson shrugged, "You heard me. Now if you'll excuse me, I'm going home."

"You're going to let Tala win?" asked Max, sounding more than a little panicked, while Kai just stood there sulkily.

"Yeah. I've already saved him once," said Tyson, fishing out his receipt and waving it in the air, "See."

Kai's eyes narrowed, "You saved me from a dead spider."

"I still saved you! And you didn't seem to mind at the time!"

"I didn't think I was going to get hunted down and proposed to by a crazy horny wolf!"

"Well neither did I! And I didn't actually agree to the competition! And as long as I have this!" the receipt was brandished around like a trophy, "I am going to go home to sit on my ass and watch my father sit on his ass in a way more comfy chair than mine, and make decrees!"

Kai suddenly smirked, "Oh really. As long as you have that paper, huh?"

Tyson clutched the receipt in his hands, "Oh no, if you think you're going to get it off me you've got another thing coming."

Kai continued to smirk evilly, making Tyson nervous, "Oh Dranzer…………." He called in a smooth, sing song voice. "I have a little problem I need taken care of."

Tyson looked around, "Huh?"

The receipt suddenly started to smoke.

Tyson looked at it in alarm, "Ah! It's hot!" He dropped it, and as it fluttered to the ground, it burst into flames.

Tyson stared at its ashes on the ground in horror, "No!" He glared at Kai, "How did you do that?"

Kai smiled angelically, "My fairy godmother happens to be of the fire element. He's a phoenix. Despite the fact that he's one of the reasons I'm a princess, there are times when I can fully appreciate his presence."

Tyson glowered at him, "I hate you."

Max smiled at the two, "Well, as Kai's friend and protector I shall go with you to make sure you win."

"I'm going too," said Kai.

"Oh no you're not!" replied Tyson.

Kai glowered at him, "Excuse me?"

Tyson glared back at him, "You're the prize! You can't come!"

"Exactly! I'm the one whose life will be screwed up if you don't get it first, so I'm going with you to make sure it all works out!"

"You're also a princess! You said it before, I'm supposed to brandish my sword, strike a heroic pose, and say something corny, save you, while you're in a state of complete and utter delirious awe of at my amazing heroism."

Kai suddenly grabbed Tyson by the neck of his shirt, and glared into his eyes dangerously, "I'm going with you, and if you fail I'll make you wish you were the one who has to marry Tala, because you'll be in so much pain! I'm not going to just sit around and wait to hear the outcome!"

Despite his current situation, Tyson grinned, "Why Kai, anyone would think you wanted to marry me!"

Kai scowled and let him go, before proceeding to lock the door of the castle, "Max," he said over his shoulder, "Could you please find your map? And we're going in Tyson's car."

Max grinned as he searched through the mysterious depths of his pockets, "Sure thing! Let's go and get you your happily ever after!"

TBC…………..

There you have it, chapter two!

Oh, and a quick note to Seppen who asked if a certain lecherous neko-jin would be making an appearance.

My only answer is... (grins evilly) keep an eye out for the next chapter.
