"Sugar pie honey bunch! You know that I love you!"
This is crazy!
Why didn't he shut the bag immediately when Sunny and Vincent screamed the warning?
First Samhain, then Imbolc, now Beltane! He's not leaving his chambers at all during the time of Lughnasa!
"Stop that," Bog growls, prying Dawn's hands away from his waist. "Come on, Dawn, enough of this foolishness."
"I can't help myself! I love you and nobody else!"
"Vincent, quit laughing and help me," Bog orders before yelping as Dawn starts caressing his chest. "Stop that! I am happily mated! To your sister!"
Flying away from the persistent fairy does no good as she follows after, crooning at the top of her lungs. Sunny started crying when Dawn started singing and Vincent had yet to stop laughing, so he couldn't expect help from either of them. His goblins are useless as well, only staring at the scene in disbelief, though at least they subdued the two Breezy Meadow fairies.
"In and out my life! You come and you go!"
He hated doing it but it has to be done. For his own sanity, at least.
Flying close to the ground with his love-struck pursuer close behind, Bog grabs the discarded sack and quickly turns to place it over Dawn. The muffled complaints are music to his ears as he ties the sack's opening tightly shut. He's taking no chances.
"Have we come too late, Your Highness?" a Light Field guard questions.
Bog nearly groans as the group of fairies land in the small clearing. Of course, they had to witness that. He's definitely not leaving his chambers during Lughnasa.
"Escort Prince Vincent, Princess Dawn, and Sunny back to the Light Field but keep Princess Dawn in that sack. She's been love-dusted," Bog groans.
"Don't worry, Your Highness," another Light Field guard assures, trying to cough down their laughter. "His Majesty has sent messengers to the Sugar Plum Fairy to request her assistance should anyone else be infected by the love potion."
Bog rolls his eyes as he notices the second guards' brown eyes shining with laughter despite their attempts to be serious. He may still have trouble noticing the minute differences to tell each of the Light Field guards apart when they have their glamour on but there wasn't any way he could mistake Hadrian. No doubt the youth couldn't wait until he could tell his father what he'd seen. The tale of Bog being chased by Dawn will be laughed about during the next Light Field council meeting.
"Have they found the thief yet?" Bog asks.
"Thief? You mean, the love potion was stolen?" Sunny questions.
"That would explain why they didn't dust me if that was their plan," Vincent mutters, lifting himself off the ground.
"It was their plan, as was discovered by Princess Marianne and Bog King, Your Highness," the first Light Field guard informs. "They had planned to love dust you into falling in love with Princess Dawn and then accuse the Light Field of trying to usurp the Breezy Meadow throne. It was foiled by Princess Dawn being dusted by accident and then by some small creature stealing the love potion while everyone was still disorientated by the lights and smoke. The creature is now running loose around the Light Field."
"King Dagda and Princess Marianne have sent search parties to find and apprehend the love potion thief but there was no luck before we had crossed into the Dark Forest," Hadrian continues.
"The thief doesn't happen to have white fur does it?" Sunny asks.
"I'm almost afraid to ask why you asked that specifically," Bog mutters. "But yes, their accomplice said that the thief had white fur."
"Then it's not in the Light Field," Sunny states. "It's in the Dark Forest."
