Guys I'm so sorry for not posting in FOREVER but school just got out yesterday and we ran all over town the whole week doing pointless things. So here is what started out as a short story that turned into a not-so-short story. It's still kind-of a short story, because it doesn't relate directly to the story line. But I'm working on the real story line as we speak, ok, well, as you're reading, so don't worry, it'll come out soon. If you guys want me to do a truth or dare PLEASE let me know, because I sort of want to, but I'm afriad you all are already mad enough I haven't posted on the main plot in a while. Please let me know guys! Ok well on to the story!

Glory

"Hey Glory," said a voice coming from in front of the counter. Glory looked up from her phone to see her self-appointed bodyguard, Deathbringer, standing in front of her.

"Deathbringer, aren't you supposed to be guarding my kingdom?" He smirked, and walked around the counter so he could lean on it beside her. She pocketed her phone, and looked up at him. Even though he was three inches taller than her, she was still his boss. Considering the fact that she was his queen, he would do anything she told him to.

"Awh, c'mon Glory. I left Jambu in charge. The kingdom will be fine."

Glory groaned. "Not if you left Jambu in charge! Next thing you know, you'll turn around and you'll see flashing lights all the way from the rainforest, because he decided to spend the whole treasury on party lights. And when you get back, the whole kingdom will be drunk on berries, the huts will be destroyed, and my castle will be in ruins. There will be party streamers everywhere, and you'll have to clean it up, since you left him in charge." Deathbringer flinched, and Glory felt bad. She backtracked, her voice soft.

"Sorry, sorry, I'm sure he'll do fine. But if I get hit with confetti and murder someone, I blame it on you." He gave a small grin, and Glory was glad he wasn't sad anymore.

"No; I'm sorry; I shouldn't have left. I'll go back…?" Glory smacked his arm lightly.

"Well, you're here now, so what's the point. Besides," she said as she kicked him in the leg very softly, "You wouldn't want to leave the queen unguarded, would you?" Deathbringer laughed and brushed some of her blond hair away from her face. Glory felt her shirt start to turn pinkish, and had to make it stay black.

"No, we can't have that happening, either." He smirked and leaned down. Glory, laughing, pushed him back, and he tumbled into Tsunami, who was talking with a student. Tsunami kicked his ankle hard while glaring at him while still talking to the student. He murmured an apology, and she just kicked him again, this time knocking him back to Glory. When Tsunami handed the student his pamphlet, she turned to Glory.

"Keep your assassin-boyfriend on a chain, ok?" She turned back and continued pointing out directions, while Glory put her hand over her mouth to stop from laughing. She knew it didn't work but the muffled sounds she could still hear.

"Haha, very funny." Deathbringer flicked a scrap of paper off his shirt, and leaned against the counter again.

"Well, that's what you get," said Glory smugly, although she did regret pushing him away before the kiss a tiny bit. Deathbringer out on a mock look of anguish.

"What did I dooo?" He spoke in a whiney voice that reminded Glory of Squid, an endlessly annoying Sea. She pushed against his chest again, but this time he didn't stumble.

"Well, you're existing, and that's pretty annoying." She saw an almost impossible to notice look of hurt flash into his eyes before leaving immediately. He plastered on a smile.

"W-" Glory rolled her eyes and grabbed his black t-shirt, pulling him down. She kissed him softly, quickly, and then pushed him back up.

"Just shut up already," she said, smiling. He grinned, looking at the ground. "And also, I'm perfectly happy with you existing. So." She had no more words so say, so she just shuffled her feet. A Sand came up to the desk, looking out of place, and Glory turned to him before Deathbringer could say anything awkward.

"How can I help you?"

Glory helped students for a while, Deathbringer standing idly by her side. He was relaxed, but Glory saw him flex whenever she talked to any other student. After five more lost students, she folded her arms on the counter with a sigh.

"Why can't we just assign a robot to give maps to everyone with all the info on them?" Deathbringer chuckled, and Glory smiled. "Well, I think I can get Sunny to fill in for me. Watcha wanna do?" Deathbringer shrugged, and Glory punched him lightly in the arm.

"Hey, I'm just as bored as you. What would you want to do?" Deathbringer countered. Glory rolled her eyes and called for Sunny. The bright Sand bounced over, her straight gold hair swinging behind her.

"Yeah Glory?" She blinked her bright green eyes.

"Hey, Sunny, could you fill in for me?" Sunny eyed Deathbringer and stood on her very tippy toes to whisper in Glory's ear. Glory did bend down a bit, just to help the little Sand out.

"Are you gonna ask him out finally?" Glory gently pushed her away and then leaned down and whispered back mocking fierce-fullness.

"No way! Don't you read the books? The guy is supposed to ask out the girl, not the other way around." Sunny giggled, and whispered back.

"Since when do you go by the rules?" Glory laughed quietly.

"Good point. FINE, I'll do it." Sunny giggled again, and tried to hold back from complete laughter when Glory turned to face Deathbringer. Glory jabbed a finger at Sunny.

"This was her idea," she said, a hint of teasing in her voice. "Deathbringer, will you go out with me?" Deathbringer's mouth morphed from a crooked grin to a full-out smile. He quickly tried to hide it by slapping a hand over his mouth, but it was too late. Glory rolled her eyes, and before she could say, "I'll take that as a yes," Deathbringer spoke up.

"Yes, Your Highness." He bowed, and Sunny burst out laughing. Glory slightly glared at Deathbringer.

"One, we established this. NO calling me Your Highness, Queen, or My Queen." Not to lie, Glory did kind of like it when Deathbringer called her the last one, but now wasn't really the time.

"Two, I definitely will fire you if you ever bow to me again, whether I'm asking you out or not." Deathbringer hid a smirk, and Glory fought the urge to reach out and slap him.

"Three, where do you wanna go?" Deathbringer let the smirk loose, and it looked to Glory that the whole room filled with light. She felt her shirt turn bright pink for a split second, and Deathbringer's smirk grew. She reigned in her emotions, making her shirt turn black once more.

"Hush child," she said to him, and he laughed. "Well?"

"Welllllllll." he said mockingly, "There's a movie theaters a few blocks away, and Avengers Infinity Wars is out." Ugh, Deathbringer knew too much about Glory. Like the fact that she absolutely loved Marvel, had crushes on multiple characters, and also had a crush on one of the actors brother. *Cough* And no, she wasn't talking about Liam Hemsworth and Chris Hemsworth. Nope. MOVING ON.

"Ok, ok, I give in. When does the next one start?" Deathbringer rolled his eyes.

"Google was invented for a reason." Glory laughed and pulled out her phone. It was about three in the afternoon now, and the next movie started in ten minutes. She pocketed her phone and grabbed Deathbringer's hand.

"Bye Sunny, we're gonna go before all the pre-movie commercials are gone. Be back in… well, whenever the movie gets out and we go out because I'm already hungry." She dragged Deathbringer out of the school, him laughing, and trotted over to her black flat-bed truck.

"You're driving," she said, and got into the passenger seat. Technically, she didn't have a license, but she drove all the time considering if she did get pulled over, Deathbringer would either murder the officer, or Glory would pay a fine and keep driving because no one could really stop her since most of them were under her orders.

Deathbringer went around the other side and hopped in, putting in the keys Glory handed him, and then took off down the street.

"Woah there, yes, I want to watch the previews, but no, I don't to end up in a hospital." Deathbringer laughed and slowed down, and they were at the movies in time to watch the all of the previews roll twice.

*Two hours and forty five minutes later*

"NO!" Luckily, Glory and Deathbringer were the only people in the room. "DEATHBRINGER WHAT IN THE PYRRHIA JUST HAPPENED TO MY MOVIE?!" Deathbringer tried to calm Glory down, but it wasn't really working. At least she had stopped throwing popcorn.

"Glory, I understand the fact that everyone just died, but hear me out. At least Mister I-Have-A-Crush-On-You-And-Your-Hot-Little-Brother is alive, right?" Glory got more mad at this and shouted louder, if that was even possible.

"THAT'S NOT HELPING! YES CHRIS HEMSWORTH IS ALIVE BUT FOR HOW MUCH LONGER? WHY DID THEY HAVE TO ROPE CAPTAIN MARVEL INTO THIS? CAN'T LIAM/GALE JUST POP UP AND SAVE EVERYONE WITH HIS AWESOME CROSSBOW AND HEART MELTING FACE?! WHY HER?! SHE'S EVIL! AHHHHHHH-" Glory kept shouting for about ten minutes until one of the staff got tired of her screaming and tossed Deathbringer a light drug that he dumped in her soda. Glory took a drink and then got really dizzy.

"DEATHBRINGER WHat did you do to my soda…" She blinked rapidly, and then fell over. Deathbringer caught her, nodded his thanks to the staff member, and took her back outside. He drove her all the way back to her home-away-from-home, which was a sandy colored brick building that was fairly large. It had a sunroom that curved out of the front of the building. On the right side a section of the house stood taller, and on the left there was a pool that had glass surrounding it. He parked the truck in the driveway, and carried Glory inside.

He went up two flights of steps, and opened the door to her elaborate bedroom. A canopy bed was in the middle of the right-side wall, and the back wall was made completely of glass, giving her a view of the forest beyond. A mahogany desk was against the left wall, a rolling and swiveling chair in front of it. Bookshelves lined the wall where the door was, and Deathbringer noticed that every spot on them was taken up. A fountain was in the middle of the room, shaped like two dolphins that had jumped out of the water coming from different directions. The water was crystal blue, and had small ripples where the water that sprayed out of the dolphins snouts met the pool.

He carefully set her down on the bed, adjusted the pillows and curtains, rolled the chair over next to her bed, and sat down. He fell asleep after a while, and dreamed softly. Glory was dreaming too, though not as softly. If anyone had been awake, they would have heard her muttering things that weren't exactly nice.

"Marvel Makers welcome to my game of 'Let's Use You To Make A Pain Scale!' Thanos I'm going to have fun cutting your limbs off slowly one by one!"

Deathbringer would also have been heard murmuring things about how he was protecting his Queen from random dragons. (He has one of these dreams about every night, so it's nothing new.)

"No Glory, I swear there were assassins coming, and I swear they weren't me."

And then Deathbringer switched to a different dream that apparently included a game of Truth or Dare, and one he did not dream every night.

"Oh no, Tsunami, do NOT make me and Glory play seven minutes in heaven…" And a while after that, "Glory wow ok…"

That night, a security guard had an unexplainable heart attack while watching live video feed. Detectives couldn't figure out what had caused it until they rewatched the feed, and then half of them were wheeled to the hospital. Deathbringer had unconsciously started saying every word that he said to Glory while playing seven minutes in heaven, and since the dectevies didn't want anyone else to die, they had to cut it out from their report. Glory woke up later, fighting mad, and they had to put her under again. Deathbringer was brought in for killing someone, even if it was accidental, and he was facing twenty years in jail until Glory pardoned him. She also made sure someone duct-taped his mouth shut every night after watching the video. Deathbringer passed out of embarrassment that night, so half of the hospital rooms were taken up.

Well, thats... interesting. Like, wow, I never knew I had that much of a messed up imagination. Well... next chapter coming soon, thanks for reading!
