Crazy Happenings
Author's Note: Fire Emblem (Rekka no Ken) does not belong to me.
Chapter 6: Day 2, afternoon time part 1!
The afternoon sun shone clearly. The bright rays of the sun pierced through the skies, lighting up the day considerably. …And all this crappy stuff goes on. The clouds were very puffy, fat and as there were lots of this clouds hanging in the skies, it looked like this afternoon is a very happy and good day.
…But as we are to discover, apparently this is not so for a certain person. A certain girl who has short red hair. Yes, it is our dear Priscilla, the only troubadour and valkyrie in the Fire Emblem team. Why is she not happy? Well, as soon as this fanfic started, she has been moping around, looking tearful. No, this fanfic is not troublesome, neither is it hurting her nor being a nuisance to her. For as soon as this fanfic started, craziness had been ensued, therefore causing Priscilla to fall under Sain's miraculous love potion. Therefore, she was and is now very much troubled over her love affairs between Raven, Guy and Erk. Apparently she could not manage to sort all of her troubles out; as a result she stayed in her room all day, moping, moaning, crying, sobbing and all means of showing her sadness.
"-sniff sniff- Oh dear…I just wish sniff I could -sniff sniff- decide quickly…time is so short…-sniff- and time is just passing by so fast…-sniff sniff- and I haven't done anything!" Priscilla kept on crying out to herself. She rocked back and forth on her bed.
"I just don't know what to do…I just can't help but love those three men…Guy is just so brave, cheerful and determined. Even though he may be clumsy sometimes…it just adds to his cuteness just like the Guy doll that I made! (OO) My brother Raymond is perhaps stern, but deep inside I know he is just very protective and kind. And on the other hand, Erk, my escort just looks so cool! Ah, his demeanor is just so…unnerving to watch sometimes…Oh what shall I do? Can't anyone help me, a pretty damsel-in-distress?" (the author rolls her eyes)
When she was halfway moping, she suddenly heard a knock. Surprised, she turned to the door. "sniff Come in." Priscilla managed to speak normally despite her shaken condition.
Expecting someone to open the door and come in, the valkyrie was indeed surprised when nobody came in. Instead, the knocking came again.
"Well, I said you could come in, whoever you are."
Still nobody came in and the knocking continued.
By this time, you can say that Priscilla was getting angry and angrier by the minute. "Here I am, so much saddened and now somebody wants to play tricks with me? How cruel to do so! I'll teach whoever that is a lesson!" Priscilla then shouted loudly. "I SAID YOU COULD COME IN! DON'T YOU HEAR ME, DUNDERHEAD?"
No response came. Looking like an angry bull-,oops, I mean cow, she marched heavily to the door. Pomp pomp, went her feet. Bracing herself for any encounters with a Fire tome in her hand, she then opened the door with a quick swing. To her surprise, there was nobody outside, no, not even in the halls. Priscilla was even angrier. "How dare people think they can do this to me…I'll find myself who in the world did this and punish them rightfully for playing tricks to me! I'll succeed or else I'm not the famous, beautiful Princess Priscilla of Cornwell! Mwahahahahahah!" …Apparently Priscilla forgot to cry after her outburst of anger. She'll most probably be the next victim of craziness.
Turning back to lie down on her bed, she got the shock of her life when she saw a face at the window. Assuming that it was a ghost or some kind of phantom coming to haunt and disturb her, she screamed like a mad and hysterical woman. "AHHHHHHHHHH! HELP ME! GHOST! Ahhhh…." In a fit of shock, Priscilla felt dizzy and finally passed out after a minute staring at the 'ghost' in shock, her eyes wide open as she fell down on the carpet floor and fainted. Though, before she passed out, she could barely just hear her name being uttered out…
"Priscilla!"
"So will she be alright, Serra?"
"Oh yes, don't be such a worrywart, Guy. She's just unconscious due to a slight shock. Though of course, I might as well add in that she has been close to nervous breakdown for the past few days…"
"…I see. Thank the heavens for that."
The cleric's voice was reproaching when she spoke. "You know, you should try to help her in this business. I know she's having an extremely difficult time coping with all this love affairs…Poor Priscilla. It's obviously causing the nervous breakdown." Serra grinned brightly before she continued. "Ah well, I'm just so lucky that Erk is mine and not anyone else's!" After a moment, her face fell. " …Hey wait a minute, Priscilla does like Erk, doesn't she?"
Guy sadly nodded. "Yeah."
Immediately, Serra's face changed drastically. "Well, I will NEVER let this girl try to take my precious Erky away! He's mine and mine alone! I'll NEVER let her even try to seduce him!" her eyes flashed a bright red, revealing evident determination. Guy's eyes widened but only a little, yeah, partly because this 'type' of Serra wasn't very rare. In fact, quite common indeed. Dear dear…
"Hey Guy, listen up."
"Huh? What is it?"
"You DO want Priscilla to like you and choose you as her boyfriend, don't you?" Serra glared at him.
Guy backed away a little. "Uh…yeah, I suppose I do…"
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY YOU SUPPOSE YOU DO? ARE YOU TELLING ME YOU DON'T REALLY LIKE HER, YOU CHEATER?"
"Ah no, no, no! I mean, I DO!"
"Ah yes, that's much better." Serra relaxed a little. "Tell you what, we two can work together to get what we both each want. I want Erk; you want Priscilla. And I'll even help you into getting Raven out of the way." Her eyes gleamed. "Deal?"
Guy frowned at this. Sure, he didn't know much about deals (well except the horrible 'contract' between him and Matthew), but why shouldn't he agree to this? Besides, getting rid of Erk WOULD mean the loss of one competitor…and if Raven was out of the way, so much the better, so why not? "Okay, deal. So what do I do?"
Serra tapped her foot. "Hmm…first of all, the most basic and important thing to do is to keep Erk and Raven out of the way. We mustn't let them see Priscilla. I can easily manage to keep Erk company, but about Raven…it's a little hard…"
Guy nodded his head. "I'll always be at Priscilla's side. But I won't make up stories and tell her to stop liking Raven and Erk, which would probably just be the end…" he muttered to himself.
Suddenly Serra clapped her hands. "I've got it!"
"Huh? What have you gotten?"
"No, silly, that's not it. What I meant was that I found a way to keep Raven busy! I'll politely ask his closest friend, dear handsome Lucius to keep him out of the way! Though of course, I won't say 'keep him out of my way'…don't worry Guy, I'll find out something to say. I always have a lot to say, don't I?" She winked at him.
Guy frowned deeply in an effort to remember who Lucius was. "Oh of course, that long-haired blonde that I met when I joined Lord Eliwood's Elite. Yeah, that's right, he's the one that I thought was a pretty woman at first…ah, I better stop trying to remember, it's not a very pleasant thing to think of anyway…" Speaking aloud, he said, "Yeah, I think it should work. I've heard that that Raven only opens up to Lucius. So I'm counting on you for this one, Lady Serra! I'm very much obliged to you."
Serra nodded her head at the mention of 'Lady Serra'. Waving her hand at him, she said with an air of boast, "Well, of course it's not a problem, Guy! This is what I always do!"
"…Well you know, I once heard something else that someone else said that really clashed with what you said…if I'm not mistaken, I think it was either Erk or Hector would said that…"
"Ah enough! Do you want my help or not?"
"Yes yes! I'm so sorry."
"Hmph, you better be. Now just stay in Priscilla's room and be with her. I'll go and find Lucius now."
"Thank you, Lady Serra. You have no idea how much this means to me…"
"Just take it as a blessing that Saint Elimine has bestowed upon you. Oh, and make sure Priscilla goes for you, and then I will win the bet between Sain and me! Whoo hoo! See you later Guy." And with that, the obnoxious cleric walked off, leaving an eager and puzzled Guy who moments later walked the opposite direction, with only one destination in his mind.
"Lord Raymond, where are you going?"
"Arrgh, MUST I tell you EVERYWHERE I go EVERYTIME! I'm not a five-year-old kid or something like that you know, Lucius!"
Lucius, dressed in a weird-looking bunny costume (don't ask me) giggled like a girl. "Ehehe…sorry about that, I just can't help myself when I see you going anywhere. I don't get to watch over you, who knows maybe you'll pick up a girlfriend…and leave me alone…" Seeing Raven's puzzled face, he blushed a fiery red (don't worry, it isn't yaoi). "I mean, who knows that girlfriend is just some kind of slut or a spy, I mean you never know right? So…uh…"
Still not justified, Raven just let it off. After a moment, he turned and spoke stiffly. "I'm going to visit Priscilla for a while."
Lucius' eyes went wide (maybe with anger, heheh) and he quickly intervened. "But Lord Raymond, she won't admit you in! She's been locking herself up for a few days already, so…" he tried making up excuses so that Raven wouldn't go and find Priscilla, especially very advisable when someone else is with her. Besides, he did promise Serra to try his best as he could…
Flashback"Lord Lucius!"
Turning back, the bishop saw none other than the pick-haired cleric running towards him at an amazing speed, considering she was wearing some sort of dress. "Oh, it's you, Lady Serra. What is it?"
Stopping and pausing for a while to catch her breath, she finally spoke hesitatingly in a pretend manner. "Um…well, I wanted to ask a favour from you."
"Oh?" Lucius' eyebrow raised in mild surprise. Every single time Serra asked a 'favour' from him, it was always something silly and ridiculous (to him). Something like getting Erk's full complete biodata, giving Erk some gifts (from Serra but Lucius was asked not to tell him ), chasing a mild stray cat away when it was near her (but not doing anything), chasing off a harmless fly that was flying around her (but Serra thought it was poisoning her)…and the list goes on. See the trend? Back to the flashback…
"Um…like, can you um…like, keepRavencompanyforthenextfewdays?" It all came out with a rush.
"…Did you just say keep the Raven Company for the next few days? How can I keep such a company (and where will I keep it I also don't know) when I don't even know that such a company, especially lead by ravens, even exist, my dear Lady Serra!"
Serra slapped her forehead. "No, Lucius. I meant, keep your 'Lord Raymond' company for the next few days."
Suddenly Lucius blushed a bright red. "Oh I see…well Lady Serra…Lord Raymond isn't really mine…though I would kinda like it to be…" the last part was he muttering to himself.
Serra became impatient. "So, are you going to help me or not?"
"Uh…well, I suppose I can and will benefit from this smilies pop out …so okay, Lady Serra. I'll gladly busy myself with Lord Raymond."
"Good."
"…May I ask why do you ask such a thing?"
"Nah, you don't need to know. A secret, alright?"
"…Okay, whatever it is. Then, I bid you farewell, Lady Serra."
End flashback, back to the present"Well then what do you want me to do? Stand here like a statue the whole day? Oh yeah, that's SO 'fun'." Raven said sarcastically.
Lucius' face brightened. "Well, perhaps we could take a walkie around the Ositia gardens. I know you haven't seen them, Lord Raymond."
"…I told you to stop calling me by that name."
"Oops, sorry. I just can't seem to change. So shall we go?"
Raven's hands flew up in resignation. "Fine, whatever. Let's just do something that I can focus on."
"Yes, yes of course! The gardens are just so enchanting and beautiful! The beauty can easily capture one's heart and soul!" "Just like you…eheheheheheee…" …And that was all that Lucius thought as he led the way. (eewww…gross.)
"Are you alright, Priscilla?"
The valkyrie muttered a 'mmh', stirred up a little from the mini sized bed and her eyes finally opened, and the first thing that she saw was a face that had long, curly hair. The SAME face that she thought was a ghost. Her mouth opened wide but no sound came out, and the next thing that happened was that she flopped back onto the bed unconscious…again. (sweatdrops)
"Ahhhh! Not again! Priscillaaaaaaa!"
Fifteen minutes later…
"Are you alright, Priscilla?"
The valkyrie muttered a 'mmh', stirred up a little from the mini sized bed and her eyes finally opened, and the first thing that she saw was a face that had long, curly hair. The SAME face that she thought was a ghost. Her mouth opened wide but no sound came out, and the next thing that happened was…
"Wait! Don't you flopped back onto the bed again, Priscilla. I'm not having the author repeating the script or story or fanfic or whatever it is again and again."
Priscilla's eyes opened and she immediately sat up straight. "Okay. I'll be sick if I were to faint every time anyway…besides, I'm getting fed up already. I mean, who wouldn't be? Acting to faint twice is just plain boring."
"Uh…okay, if that's how you want to put it."
"So, you're that 'ghost' that I saw at the window?"
"…Yeah."
"Why in the world didn't you knock on the door? Why the window?"
"…Um well, that's because…you didn't want anyone to see you…so I…uh…ah, you know what I mean! Anyway, the author wouldn't let me use the door! What else could I do?"
Priscilla raised her eyebrows. "I suppose."
"Yeah…so um…any other questions?"
"…Well yeah. Why is your hair not braided?"
Guy flushed a bright pink (or red, whichever you want ). "Wwell…that is…uh…I just had a bath…and I washed my hair…so I…um…aaahh!" Guy just realised that he had not bothered to put on his normal Sacaean clothes since he thought Priscilla wouldn't wake up that early yet, and here he was, standing right in front of her and not realising that his whole chest was bare the whole time…
On the other hand, Priscilla also conveniently did not seem to notice until Guy exclaimed out. Her cheeks turned magenta. (heheheh) She quickly turned away; her heart amazingly seemed to beat a million times per second loudly. "Oh God, Guy's chest is just bare…oh he looks just so muscular and handsome…oh Elimine, what exactly am I thinking? I mustn't think of such unholy things! But Guy…aaahhh!" Priscilla mentally screamed at herself.
Looking as read as a beetroot, Guy surprisingly managed to mumble and stutter a few barely comprehendible words with a
fast speed, something that sounded like "I'llgotomyroomandputonachangeofclothesstayhereforawhileokay". And he sped off as fast as a cheetah, leaving so-called 'his Priscilla' who was in a fit due to fights that ensued between her and her inner side. So much for holy and unholy sides eh?
Author's Note: sighs I know I'm always taking a long time to update this fic…I guess saying sorry won't work anymore eh? …Anyways, I really appreciate it that some of you readers still remember me and actually took the time to review. A million thanks to the reviewers!
Since this chapter is considerably long (long enough for me), I'm breaking the afternoon chapter into 2, means next chapter will be part 2, focusing on Lyn/Rath with Guy/Priscilla and perhaps a little of Erk/Serra as minor parts. And I am NOT implying yaoi between Raven and Lucius; I just thought it would add to the humour if I did so.
Guess that's all, please review!
