Hey guys
Thanks for the reviews. Here's chapter 3. Hope you guys like it. Remember it's a Star Wars crossover.
Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing.
Rich woke up the next morning. He looked at the clock on his bedside table.
11 'o' clock! Shit it's late. He leapt out of bed and raced into Eli's room. Eli was on her bed reading. She looked up at him.
"Morning sleepy head." She said smiling at him.
"It's so late. Why didn't you wake me?" Rich asked.
"Oh come on. Cut yourself some slack. Your suffering from universal jet lag." Eli said.
"What about breakfast? They've probably stopped serving breakfast." Rich said.
"Rich. Breakfast is served from six to eleven thirty. Lunch is served from one to three thirty. And dinner is served from six to ten thirty. Besides you can always head down to the kitchens and grab something." Eli explained.
"Oh. Well I better head to one of the dining rooms." Rich said.
"Or we could ask them to send the food upstairs and have a peaceful breakfast." Eli said.
"That's a good idea. Oh by the way how did dad make those dishes just appear?" Rich said.
"It's a simple enchantment. It's placed on all the dining rooms. The chefs either cast it or in case of events like yesterday daddy casts it. But if we ask for it to be brought up here the butlers will bring it up." Eli explained.
"Cool." Rich said.
"So what do you want?" Eli asked as she picked up a phone and started dialing a number.
"Err…… how about pancakes and some cereal if that is it's not a problem." Rich said. Eli nodded.
"Hi Chef Pier. Listen can you please send up some pancakes and cereal for Rich and me? Thank-you." Eli said over the phone. She hung up.
In a little while a butler in fancy robes entered followed by floating trays of pancakes and cereal.
"Good morning you two." He said cheerfully.
"Morning." Eli said. "Rich this is Sebastian. He's like the head butler."
"Its nice to meet you Sebastian. I hope I haven't caused you any trouble." Rich said as he shook Sebastian's hand.
"Not at all. Not at all." Sebastian said. "My how you've grown. Last time I saw you, you were tiny." Rich smiled at him. "Well I'll see you two later."
The two siblings sat and ate their breakfast and just talked.
"Well then get changed and we can go shopping. We can drop the dishes off on the way out." Eli said. Rich nodded and went and got changed.
They dropped by the kitchens and dropped off their dishes. The kitchens were amazing as well. They were huge. It smelt delicious. Everywhere you looked trays and trays of food could be seen. The floors were so clean you could eat off of them. There were all sorts of refrigerators, stoves and every appliance you could think off. They met with Chef Pier who was a plump, jolly little man who slipped some cookies into their pockets. After they had dropped off their dishes and bade farewell to Chef Pier they went and told their parents they were going to buy Rich some things. They then headed to the stables. It took a good ten minutes to get from the palace to the stables.
The stables were massive. There had to be about a hundred horses in there. The stables were surprisingly clean. Each horse had a huge amount of space. They all had a large amount of fresh water and hay. Each horse was beautifully groomed and in excellent health. They were the most beautiful and powerful looking horses Rich had ever laid eyes on.
"Know how to ride a horse?" asked the stable master. Rich looked at him and nodded his head.
He was a giant of a man even by the standards of this empire. He was well above seven feet. He looked like he could easily out wrestle an elephant. He had a mop of orange hair that reached his back. He had a thick beard and moustache the same color. His eyes however were green and tiny. Rich couldn't imagine him riding a horse. He looked like he should ride an elephant.
"Rich this is William the stable master." Eli said.
"Its nice to meet you." Rich said. He put out his hand to shake William's and tried not to scream as William's hand crushed his own.
"So your Majesties which of these fine beauties will you be riding on today?" William asked.
"I'm riding Ginger" Eli said walking towards one of the pens. She went in and came out leading a beautiful horse. She had a ginger colored coat and a golden mane.
"Isn't she beautiful." Eli said as she stroked the horse. The horse brayed and nuzzled her. "Daddy bought her for me when she was just a foal."
"She's beautiful." Rich said. "Do I get a horse?"
"Of course you do. Which one calls to you?" William asked.
"Calls to me?" Rich asked. "How do I know its calling to me?"
"Don't worry." William said smiling. "You'll know."
Rich looked around. He walked through the stable looking at all the horses. They were all beautiful. Then suddenly he stopped. He was standing in front of a beautiful stallion. All the other horses were lazing around, but he was standing with his head poking out of his pen. It was as if all the horses knew this was meant to be Rich's horse. The stallion had a magnificent black coat with a white star on its forehead. He was extremely healthy. He was huge and had powerful muscles. He was unbelievable. Rich felt a force of some sort pulling him towards this horse. He put out his hand and reached for the mighty stallion's head.
"Your Majesty I wouldn't……" began William, but before he could finish Rich's hand came in contact with the horse's head. He slowly stroked the horse's head and mane. "Well I'll be a monkey's uncle. He never lets anyone near him. He won't even let me come near him. This is amazing. Plus he's an amazing horse. Powerful, strong, fast, pretty much everything you want in a horse. And not only that he's a mind reader. He can read the mind of his master and send his master mental messages. But only if he possess a special bond with his master."
"What's his name?" Rich asked as he continued to stare into the stallion's eyes.
"He doesn't have one yet. Would you like to name him?" William asked.
"Thunder" he said after staring into the horses eyes for a while.
"Fine name My Lord. Fine name." William said. "Now for a saddle and reins."
"He doesn't want reins or saddles." Rich said.
"What!" William said.
"At least not for a friendly trip to the mall. For battles or journeys yes, but not for simple outings like that." Rich said staring at the horse. He wasn't sure how he knew all this he just did.
"Very well my lord. But do you know how to ride without saddle or reins?" William asked.
"We'll manage." Rich answered. He opened the pen and Thunder walked out. Rich grabbed hold of Thunder's mane and swung onto Thunder's back with surprising ease. "Let's go El"
"El?" asked Eli.
"Thought I'd try out an affectionate elder brother nickname." He answered. Now how do I get Thunder to go outside? Just as he was contemplating this Thunder started moving towards the stable door. Eli followed on Ginger.
"So where exactly are we going?" Rich asked as they headed towards the massive gates. The gates had bars that were spiked at the bottom and there was a huge moat with crocodiles and alligators and other strange creatures.
"Well we'll go to the royal blacksmith for weaponry and armor. Then we'll go into town and get you some clothes and other such things. We'll also get some other miscellaneous knick knacks. Oh and I want you to meet my friends." Eli replied.
"Sounds fun. Except for the shopping part." Rich said.
They galloped through the forest at the foot of the palace. Ginger and Eli led the way through the woods. After a while they went down a small path leading deeper into the woods. They finally stopped outside a small hut. It was obviously owned by a blacksmith. They left the horses outside and went inside.
"Mornin yer Majesty." Said the huge blacksmith. He was huge and muscled. He had a huge beard that covered most of his face and reached his lower back. "An is this Rich."
"Hi Tom. And yeah this is Rich" Eli said.
"Aye. Me thinks so." Tom said. "Good ta see ye again."
"Its nice to meet you." Rich said smiling.
"Ye be wantin yer weapons." Tom said. "Me gots them right 'ere." Tom walked to a shelf and took down several weapons and brought them over to Rich and Eli. "Rich this be yer sword." He pulled out a beautiful sword. It was a long sword. Its handle was of pure gold and studded with jewels. "It belong ta yer great ancestor. It was created by the greatest blacksmiths in der universe. It can control der elements. It will come ta yer hand. It 'as been 'anded down fer generations. No one but your ancestor could use it. He and ye. When ye were a wee baby ye lifted it an used it fer a storm. It belongs ta yer."
Rich picked up the sword. It felt right in his hand. Like it belonged to him. Next Tom handed a sword to Eli.
"This be yer ancestor's sword as well. It 'as pretty much ta same powers as Rich's except its a lil less powerful." Tom said. Eli nodded taking the weapon. "These be yer sabers." He said. He handed them light sabers. Eli inspected hers with trained eyes and Rich nearly chopped off his hand trying to figure out what it was. Tom chuckled slightly. "Best in ta land."
"These be yer bo-staffs." He said handing them unbelievable bo-staffs. "Rich yer's belonged to a Shaman. He lived high in ta mountains. He was a great warrior an a great mage. Ta staffs got all sorts of magic." Each staff had a jewel in its center and each had one side with built in unclip able blades. "Eli yer's was owned by a well known mage. She meditated fer months in da forest and created it with her magic." Eli nodded.
"Yee have two armors each. This one can be worn under other clothes. Its thin but powerful. It will not break easily. Furthermore it will not weigh yee down while your in water or somethin." he said showing them identical silver armors. They had soft padding on the inside. "These are for heavy combat." he said showing them two armors that looked heavier and were obviously meant to be used in more serious battles. "Their heavier and worn on the outside. They are also extremely strong."
"Thanks Tom." Eli said. "We have to be going now."
"Yeah thanks Tom." Rich said.
"See yer later." Tom said waving.
"Where to next El?" Rich asked as he mounted Thunder.
"Next we go to the mall. Oh and on the way we can stop by Tony's house." Eli said. They set off to the town.
"Tony? That a friend of yours?" Rich asked.
"Yeah. There's me, Tony, Carrie and Damian." Eli said. "We better stop by Carrie's place. She is the kind of person who kills anyone who does not inform her before going to the mall. Damian's her brother. Damian is a bit of a reckless fellow. Always getting into crazy and dangerous situations. And usually somehow manages to pull us into the situations with him. Tony is the sweetest, most caring, loving, cutest chap and you can get lost in his beautiful eyes..." She stopped when she saw Rich smirking at her. "What?"
"Looks like someone has a crush." Rich said. Eli blushed. "Does he know? And does he feel the same?" He asked.
"He doesn't know and I doubt he feels the same." Eli said sadly.
"Oh come on El. You're smart and pretty and loving and caring and funny. Why wouldn't he like you back? Besides we're leaving soon so I think you should tell him before we go." Rich said.
"Yeah I guess I should tell him. It will be hard not seeing my friends especially him. Well if you can live without the love of your life I can live without mine for a while."
"El I assure you I have no feelings what so ever for Starfire any more." Rich said.
"Not her. Raven."
"WHAT!" Rich practically screamed. "I don't love Raven."
"Then why is the only thing you have left of the Titans a picture of you and her?" Eli asked calmly.
"Mind you own bee's whacks." Rich said. Thunder sensing Rich's discomfort galloped ahead.
But why have I been thinking about her so much? Why can't I keep her out of my head? Why do I feel all weird when I think about her? Do I love her? She really comforted me that night. She is beautiful and extremely intelligent. And she is loving and caring in her own way……OH MY GOD ITHINK I LOVE HER!
"Rich we're here." Eli said.
"Huh. Oh yeah." Rich said awaking from his thoughts. They were standing outside a beautiful two story house.
"Come on." Eli said walking in without knocking. It was obvious this was like a second home to her.
"Tony." Eli called.
"Yeah" came a voice. A fifteen year old boy walked into the room. He had blond hair and brown eyes. "Hey there El"
"So I'm not the only one that calls you that?" Rich said smirking.
"I take it your Rich."
"Dick until I get to know you better." Rich answered feeling too many people were calling him by the name that was meant to be reserved for people who were close to him.
"Nice to meet you." Tony said shaking his hand.
"We're going to the mall Tone. Could you come with us?" Eli asked.
"Sure thing. But we should bring Damian and Carrie with us."
"Yeah. Let's go get them."
"Right. El can I ride with you? My hose is sick."
"No problem." Eli said.
They walked outside and Rich mounted Thunder. Eli climbed on to Ginger and Tony climbed on behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and Rich noticed a blush creeping on to her face. They set off through the town. They eventually stopped at another house.
'Master. It's me, Thunder. Why not you go inside and leave them alone.' came Thunder's voice in Rich's head. He nodded and dismounted. The other two dismounted, but stayed outside.
"I'll go get them." he said and walked inside.
"El" Tony said after a pause.
"Yeah?" She asked
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean?" she asked.
"You've been acting weird around me."
"I'm just sad about leaving behind my friends and going on this journey."
"No. You've been acting weird around me. Please El. Tell me what's up."
"Alright. The thing is ever since I met you I've kinda sorta had extremely strong feelings for you. In fact I think I may love you." She looked down after saying all this. Tony gently cupped her chin and raised her head. He smiled at her.
"Its about time." he said before pressing his lips against hers.
Her eyes grew wide then slowly shut. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he wrapped his arms around her waist. Their seven minutes of heaven were interrupted by a cough from behind them. They broke apart and turned around to see Rich, Damian and Carrie standing behind them all smiling from ear to ear. Damian and Carrie both had sandy hair and green eyes. They were leading a horse each. Both horses had grayish in fact almost silver coats and manes. Damian's was called Moonbeam and Carrie's was called Moonlight.
"Well what do we have here?" Carrie said grinning.
Rich walked up to Tony, grabbed him by the collar and slammed him into a wall. "You better not be a backstabbing good for nothing piece of shit. Because I swear to Lucifer if you hurt her in any way I will hunt you down, beat you to death with a sledgehammer and feed your remains to mad dogs." He said in deadly serious voice. He then walked towards Thunder. He turned to Eli. "Oh by the way. You have my blessings."
Eli mounted Ginger. Tony climbed on behind her and wrapped his arms around her waist. The other three mounted their horses and the five set off.
"Is your brother a bit touched in the head?" Tony asked.
"He just caught his ex-girlfriend cheating on him." She explained. He nodded.
"That explains a lot."
They zoomed through the town. Rich couldn't help, but admire the beauty of the Xarth. It was easily the most advanced planets and yet it still held a natural look. There was a magical air present as well. They finally came to a HUGE mall.
Rich spent the rest of the day having Carrie literally drag him from one store to another while the others desperately tried to keep up. By lunchtime he had an entire wardrobe of clothes. They also picked out all sorts of books and CDs for him. They got him all sorts of other magic related things like cauldrons, ingredients and what not. They also picked out some posters and a few photo frames. They got him some cool chains, bracelets and earrings. As Eli said if he intended on being king he would have to wear jewelry. She said all the fancy stuff came from the royal jeweler. She also said he would have to have both ears pierced. They picked out all sorts of other knick knacks as well. (I'd go into more detail, but it's late on a school night and mom's giving me 'the look')
Needless to say by lunchtime they were all exhausted except Carrie who kept going on about them being wimps. They ate lunch at a fast food place in the mall. As they were heading out of the mall Rich's eye caught on something or rather someone. Standing in the window of a pet shop were the most adorable puppies imaginable. They were Labradors with perfect black coats and blue eyes.
"Guys. Just wait here for a second." Rich said. With that he disappeared into the shop and returned with the puppies in his arms. He was instantly greeted with "Ohhhh"s and "They're sooo cute"s.
"They're half Labrador and half wolf. They're twins."
"What are you going to call them?"
Rich stared at the puppies. They were identical except the boy had dark blue eyes and the girl had light blue eyes.
"The boy's Blaze and the girl's Shadow." Rich said. With that he mounted Thunder. He placed the puppies in between his legs.
'I'll go slow Master.' came Thunder's voice in his head. With that the five set off back to the palace.
Well that chapter 3. I know there wasn't much reference to the Titans. And I know that he's realized that he's in love really soon, but that tends to happen in my stories.
6 days to winter break!
