Chap.7: Too Much To Handle

"Are you okay, Rosie? No inguries of any kind?" Draganta asked Rosie, when they got back to the Dragon Temple. Rosie looked at Drganta's ingured arm, which was now wrapped up in a bandage. "I should be the one asking you... Thank you for saving me, Draganta." She said softly, not wanting to reveal how thankful she really is. Ignitus came into the room carrying tea for all of them. "So, Spyro tells me you two are here, because you want to find out something." He said, and Rosie nodded in reply. She didn't know how to tell him, so she looked at Spyro, hoping he would do the talking. He did, Spyro explained how he visited Earth and met Rosie, and how it's strange how they seem to remember each other, even though they just met.

"I know it sounds stupid," Admitted Spyro, "but I really feel like I know her. Is there something I don't know about?" Ignitus put up his hand and shook his head slowly. "It isn't stupid. The truth is... you are right. You do know Rosie. You knew her when you were much younger, though"
"Then why does it seem like we don't know each other?" Rosie butted in. "Did they try to seperate us by force? Or was it for a good cause?" Ignitus answered that it was both by force and for a reason. He explained how long ago when Rosie's mother was alive, Night the black cat was much kinder. But she was only putting up an act, because she wanted only one thing: To be Queen. "She fooled us all into believing she wanted to do good." Ignitus said. When Rosie's mom did die, she left a will in saying that if no one is in line in becoming Queen, then the position will be given to Night. "That's why Night wanted to kill you, Rosie. She thought if she got rid of you herself, than you wouldn't grow up to be Queen, and Night will take in charge." Explained Ignitus, then he turned to Spyro. "This is where you come in, Master Spyro."

"Master Spyro, I don't know if your parents have told you, but... you come from a family of royalty. You're a prince." Said Ignitus, which gave Spyro a startle. He never expected to be prince! Then again, he never expected for his parents to keep such a secret from him. Ignitus took a breath in, knowing that what he is about to tell them might shock the dragonlings. "Both of your parents, Rosie, Spyro. Since your both royalty, they thought it would be suitable if you two were... engaged to be married to each other when you get older..." Both Rosie and Spyro spit out their tea in shock. They both stared at each other and cried out, "Eeewwwwwww!"

A/N: Twist and turns. I'm full of surprises:3

Ignitus ignored their outburst, and continued with his story. "Now here is the problem: If Rosie dies, then Night would be Queen. Unfortunatley, Night cannot control over the Dragon Realms, unless her daughter, yes she has a daughter, marries Spyro. And if she becomes Queen"
"Then our whole world will be plunged into internal darkness." Finished Draganta, and Ignitus nodded sadly, because he knew that this was hard for the dragonlings to understand. "So the only way to keep that from happening," He paused. "was to seperate both of you, so Rosie would be safe from Night's harm. We destroyed the last of the portals, so there was no way for both of you to come in contact."

Rosie said nothing, she was still in shock. As for Spyro, he was first to protest. "No, you got to be kidding me! This is all a joke, right? I mean I can't marry... HER!!" He replied as he pointed at Rosie. "Rosie, help me out here! What do you think about this?" Rosie did think, but she wasn't exactly thinking the same way. "I think... we should honeymoon in Fiji..." She finally declared, and Spyro just looked at her half-eyed. Spyro couldn't believe what Ignitus was telling him, but after the battle with Night, it was hard to deny it was true.

Suddenly, Rosie got a horrible thought. "Wait, does this mean... I have to go back home?!" She said rather loud, and Ignitus answered that she did have to. "No. I-I- I don't want to go. Not know..." Rosie replied softly. "Please, I don't want to go back." She had just arrived, and already it seemed like the world was falling to pieces. Ignitus smiled and stroked Rosie's blue hair. "I know you don't want to go, Rosie. But, it's for your safety. I'll let you have today to say goodbye to Draganta and Spyro, but tomarrow, I will have to send you home. Do you understand?" Rosie nodded very slowly, but didn't WANT to understand...

After the talk with Ignitus, Rosie and Spyro were very quiet around each other. Rosie knew if she didn't say anything to Spyro soon, she would have to leave without memories of his last words. Rosie walked out of the Dragon Temple, and saw Spyro sitting on the porch as if waiting for her. "Hey, Ro. I were wondering if you would like to come with me for a walk. This had been one crazy day, and I felt that maybe I would be able to clear my mind if we did." Rosie smiled weakly, because she felt the same way, too. Besides, maybe seeing the sights might be nice before leaving this wonderous planet.

Draganta watched as the two dragonlings went off together. He asked, "Ignitus, do we really have to seperate the two? Rosie seems so much happier now that she has met Spyro." Ignitus put his hand on Draganta's shoulder and sighed. "Draganta, you know as well as I do that we have no other choice. I know it's hard, but it's for the better." Draganta knew he was right. Night would be waiting for Rosie, so it was better to just get her home soon as possible, far away where Night cannot reach her. But that's when he got a crazy idea. "What if Rosie was well trained enough to battle and defend herself on her own against Night? I have seen her use a fury attack on accident, so imagine what she would be able to do if she learned to control her powers." Ignitus thought for a moment and smiled. "Okay, I except your idea. But only on one condition: If it were to be YOU that trains her..."

A/N: These last paragraphs contain 'fluff'...

"So, pretty much these gems are jusy lying around eveywhere waiting for someone to pick them up?" Rosie had asked Spyro. It was strange for her how careless some people could be with jewelry... "Ooo! What's that?!" Rosie squealed when she saw a Light Gem, and ran over to it to examine it closer. "You know, if Ember knew I was here with you, she would probably slap me silly! Since she's your girlfriend and all!" She rolled her eyes and scofted. Spyro didn't find it funny, and he groaned. "Ember is not my girlfriend! I do not have any girlfriend! She is just some crazy fangirl..."
"Really? That's not what Ember told me." Rosie laughed as she ran across the field to chased the fireflies that danced around the moonlight. She layed her back on the grass to admire the stars and wished that this day wouldn't end. Spyro layed right beside her.

"I know you are very relieved that we aren't getting married, Spy." Rosie started. "But I was wondering. If we had to, would you do it?" She wanted to know very badly how he thought about it. Spyro thought for a moment and calmly answered, "I'm not going to answer that, you know?" Rosie gave Spyro a playful shove on the shoulder. "Oh come on! Tell me! Please?" She pleaded, but he wouldn't spill. "You're being so stubborn." Rosie said in defeat. "Fine, we can talk about something else. Tell me, Spyro, what's it like out there?" She pointed across the horizon. Spyro shrugged, because he thought that his adventures were no big deal. "Well, I get to travel all over and meet new people. I have to deal with different bosses and monsters, though. And sometimes the weather can be brutal."

"Sounds exciting!" Exclaimed Rosie, then she frowned. "If only I was you. The only adventures I have back at Hawaii is when I go shopping when I know there is a 50 off sale. All my life I wished I could do a bit more, you know. Being carefree without worrying about rules. Aaahh! My dad is going to kill me when I return back home!" She cried and covered her face in shame, knowing that she will never live up to Spyro's extraordinary life. "It's not all that great." Said Spyro. "Sometimes I wish I can take a break like you." Rosie knew he was just being modest.

Spyro got up and walked torwards the Light Gem. With one melee move, he was able to smash the Light Gem into millions of peices. One of them actually came out perfectly round, and that was the one Spyro picked up. "I want you to keep it." He insisted, handing the Light 'Pearl', you would say, to Rosie. "Just something so you won't forget about Charactoria." Rosie took the Light Pearl, and didn't know what to say. She tried hard not to let her emotions from overwhelming her. "Spyro, I have something to tell you..." Rosie said as she sat up. "Before I leave, I just wanted to let you know... I... that I... You see it's just... You... I..." Rosie didn't exactly know what she wanted to tell him, but she had trouble trying to spill it out. "I... Spyro, I... Thank you. For everything. For saving me. For helping me." She quickly added, and then smiled at him. "For being a friend. I'm sure going to miss you..." Spyro couldn't help but smile back, but strangely he felt that Rosie wanted to tell him more than just a thank you. Much more...

A/N: That had a little bit of fluff, didn't it? What really freaked me out, was that I was listening to music while I was writing this, then suddenly when I got to the fluffy part with Rosie and Spyro, a romantic song played on called "More Than Friends"... Yeah, I'm still freaked out... Anyway, I decided to keep Rosie, since EBay didn't help at all... Great...
