Mermaid Of The Huntsclan Chapter 5
True to her word Mirana returns back to the Magus Bazaar the following day. She set up her wears directly next to Veronica's booth station and conducted business. She's determined to make this a regular economical day for her.
Unfortunately for Mirana fate has other plans that are intended in store for her.
Standing up and stretching, Mirana said "I'm going to take a little break to get something to eat. Do you want me to bring you anything?"
"That's sweet, but, no. Go ahead and relax for a little bit. I'll watch your stuff for you," assured Veronica.
"Thanks," said Mirana, leaving in order to get some food.
About the same time she left two familiar faces decided to show up.
Two people that are on a very important and life depending mission.
To find the American Dragon a date to the annual Middleton Middle School dance.
"Welcome to the Magus Bazaar, Kid. Anything you need, you can find it here," said Fu Dog, flourishing his arms and catching Jake by the back of his jacket as he started to walk away. "Hey, hey, hey. Stick close. I don't want you talking to anybody unless I give you the thumbs-up. Some of these characters are a little unsavory." Fu Dog releases a loud ear-piercing whistle as he led the kid to Veronica's booth. "Hey, Veronica, you back there, Sweetheart?"
Moving to the front of her booth so Fu Dog and Jake can see her, greeting them with a pleasant smile, Veronica said "Fu Dog! You out of bat liver oil already?"
Laughing good-naturedly, shaking his head, Fu Dog said "Nah. Nah. I got someone here I'd like you to meet." He then pushed Jake forward to help break the ice. "Jake, meet Ve-Ve-Veronica."
One look into Veronica's eyes and it was over for Jake. Pretty clear from the dopey look that covered his face.
"Come on, Kid. Work your magic," whispered Fu Dog, encouragingly.
He then walked off to give Jake and Veronica some space.
"Hey. Hey," objected Jake. He then sees Veronica still looking at him so changed his tune, clearing his throat. "Un, hey, listen, I was wondering, if you weren't busy tomorrow night, maybe I could…"
At that exact moment Veronica scurried out the side of her booth to speak to Jake better and that's when he finally took note of her lower half, particularly her eight hairy and spindly spider legs.
Eyes huge, retreating instantly, pitch raised in shock, Jake said "Maybe I could slowly back away."
"Hey, what's the matter with you," scowled Fu Dog, following after him, offended on Veronica's behalf.
"Sorry. I guess I was just a little put off by the 8 hairy spider legs," yelled Jake, glaring angrily at Fu Dog, face screwing up and a shiver traveling down his back in disgust.
Fu Dog needs to have it implanted into his skull that someone like Veronica isn't whom he has in mind as a date!
"Hey, I thought you might be a leg man," said Fu Dog, holding his paws up placating. "All right, relax. I got a few other options."
Fu Dog then points not too far ahead of them where two identical redheads, ignoring the opposite hairstyles and clothes, doing their shopping with one of them enjoying an ice cream cone.
"Twins," exclaimed Jake, excitedly rubbing his hands together. "All right. One for each arm."
"Hey, hey. They ain't just twins," cautioned Fu Dog. "They're Oracle Twins. Seers, as in they can see the future. Huh? Huh?"
Awed, Jake said "Wow. How cool is that?"
That's more like. Definitely his style.
"Hi! You're cute! Want to know the exact time of day you're gonna die," said the Sarah, overly perky.
Gloomily, Kara drawled "You're getting a Gamestation 3000 for Christmas this year. Whoop-dee-tap-dancing-do for you."
Or not.
Seriously caught off guard, Jake said "Uh…"
Say what now?
Uncomfortable with Jake's behavior, Fu Dog said "Uh, here's the deal, Kid. Sarah, Little Miss Sunshine, she can only see the bad stuff that's going to happen. Kara, Miss Gloom and Doom, can only see the good stuff. Go figure. Anyhow you got your pick."
"You should totally have that mole on your hand checked," said Sarah, giggling.
Jake made a face at his hand snapping his head back and forth between Sarah and the mole.
All right enough is enough.
Jake's had enough.
Heading back the way they came, fed up with Fu Dog's ideas, Jake exclaimed "I pick neither. Look, Fu, I'm looking to impress Rose, not traumatize her for life."
"Whoa, take it easy, Kid. We're just getting warmed up," said Fu Dog.
Jake is about to retort when another girl appeared out of the crowd, this one a lot closer to his age than the others.
This girl has long sapphire hair and radiant blue eyes, wearing worn boyfriend cut jeans and a baggy shirt over it.
A dreamy expression crawling onto his face, entirely enamored with what he's seeing, Jake said "Ok, but, uh…How about I pick the next girl?"
"No way, Kid. Some of these girls are dangerous," said Fu Dog, speaking from past experience. "Just stick with me. I'll make sure you don't get-."
Fu Dog is cut off as the scruff of his neck wrinkles suddenly nabbed. The perpetrator being an enormous and intimidating troll.
"Hurt," squeaked Fu Dog, gulping.
The boss to this Troll Herbert walked out of a nearby tent.
Sneering, Herbert said "Well, well, well…You've got a lot of nerve showing your face around here."
"Herbert, come on, I was gonna pay you back those dog biscuits. Seriously. I just need a little more time."
Yeah right.
But Jake is no longer listening or paying attention to what's going on with Fu Dog. He's set his eyes on someone completely of his choosing now.
Authors Note:
If the school is a different name please let me know so I can correct it?
Authors Note:
Sure is going to be one very interesting dance, don't you think? If not enjoyable as one of the few times she's actually acted and spent time as a teenager in years, but there's a very high possibility she'll come face to face with Rose there.
Think she will or won't?
Hope you guys all likes this one! ;D
