"It's our birthday!"
"Yeah, I kinda figured," Iaso said, looking up and down at the two matching girl. They both wore sky blue kimono's with black belts.
Both the girls nodded in unison.
"Happy birthday!" Rena said, sneaking up from behind, and hugging them both, just as Lucky was about to stuff her face full of pancakes. Rena was getting better, which meant her training would increase today- she would start learning more about alchemy.
"Lucky-sama, try to refrain from getting syrup on your mouth, it is best to remain dignified and cute, like a young lady, at all times," one of the maids stopped and wiped Lucky's mouth, giving a distinct glare at Rena.
"I try to, but I like being messy. It's who I am."
"No Lucky-sama, you are the emporer and empresses daughter, why can't you be more like your brother?"
The maid pointed at Iaso just as he dumped water over Rena's head. It was a joke and they were both playing, but the maid didn't seem to find it funny.
"Young master Iaso, we do not behave in such a way in the palace!"
"Relax Emma, they're just kids, and they like to have fun!" Iaso's dad had started speaking. He may come in at odd points, and start saying whatever is on his mind, but, he comes in handy when we were dealing with situations like this.
The maid let out a disaproving sigh, and scurried back to the kitchen, placing pancakes in front of Marigold. Then she went back to the kitchen, yet again, coming back with a bowl of fruit, eggs, biscuits, butter, and water (since Iaso used the last of it dumping it on Rena).
...
"If it opens, why not go through it?" I asked, pointing to the door above the bookcase. It wasn't really that great, holding a few spiders, ridden with cobwebs and mice, but it began to become an obsession, having to know what was in there.
"What if the stairs in there go on and on? And by the time we relized it our strength has run out?" Lucky asked smartly, crossing her arms.
"We won't know unless we go through," I pointed out. Apparently Iaso, Rena, and Marigold had nothing to say on this matter.
"And, if there's something under it? Don't forget I still haven't figured out were that aura came from. It think the bast thing to do is training," Lucky inputed.
"I agree," Iaso said, tugging at Rena's hair that fell down past her elbows.
"And I also vote that Iaso has to fight Rena today since it's mine and Marigold's birhtday!"
Iaso shrugged and we continued down the hall. I couldn't help myself but thinking about that door.
When we got to the sparring area, I began to wonder if Iaso was really going to fight Rena. I mean, it looked like he liked her (more than a friend) and her the same way, yet here they were, fighting.
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe I was wrong about everything in the world.
Lucky held up a flag...um... where did she get that? She brought it down. "BEGIN!"
Iaso's sword never actually looked sharp, until now, against poor fragile Rena. Rena slipped her flame alchemy glove on. She looked confident. A lot more confident than she did in Amestrisis.
She snapped. Red and orange flames shot out of it. Iaso leaped over to one side, skidding to a halt. "Ok, so now your attacking me?"
"That was the plan wasn't it?"
She attacked again, this time Iaso wasn't so lucky and the edge of his sweater caught on fire (he was still wearing Amestrian clothes because Lucky liked them better). Lucky tackled him and pulled of his sweater.
"Iaso!"
"Don't worry Lucky, I'm Ok."
"No! Look, you ruined precious material!" she hugged the sweater, in the middle of the cement pathway through the garden.
"How the hell are you able to produce flames here and not in Amestrisis?" Iaso asked, pointing at the glove that Rena had on.
"I actually don't know. Maybe because it's dry heat here, so there would be no water in the air, and would be easier to get past."
Iaso face went blank. Whenever Rena tries to explain something to either of us, we have no idea what she's taling about, and she ends up having to show us on a piece of paper.
"Great theory. Somehow I don't think that's it though."
"You just don't know what I said, right?"
Iaso went to attack Rena, darting with his sword out. She evaded, using her gun (Ok, is that thing made of iron or something? It still hasn't broke) to stop the attack, then pointing right at his chest.
"Yay! Rena wins!" Marigold bagan jumping up and down, arms out and hopping up and down.
Yeah, this part is short, but, only because I'm bored and don't feel like writing today...
