A/N: YEAH! TIME FOR THE WEEKLY UPDATE!
And is anyone else excited about the new season of Adventure Time? Based off of Babbity Rabbity and Her Cackling Stump by J.K. Rowling.
Hikari and her Cackling Stump
For Lady Alice21
There was once a rude knight who happened to serve
A foolish king with riches he did not disserve.
.
The knight's name was Shinji, and he heard of the gold,
So he decided he'd do whatever he was told.
.
One day the king outlawed all magical beings
And forced them to leave without hearing their pleadings.
.
And as Shinji patrolled the castle's grounds
He heard a strange sort of cackling sounds.
.
As he neared one of the servant's house,
A strange suspicion began to arouse.
.
There Shinji saw through the window, as bright as day,
A servant girl flicking a wand commanding the brooms to clean away.
.
The girl with the midnight-terraces and eyes so blue
Turned and saw the knight staring at her too.
.
Onyx eyes met azure and the girl began to fret
That this knight would have her head.
.
The knight turned away
Leaving the girl to stay.
.
"My brave knight, I wish to know how magic works,
but I have banished all the witches without hearing their words.
.
Go fetch me a wizard who will teach me the ropes
and the secrets to being one of those magical folks."
.
Shinji, deciding on a plan to get very rich
Knew what to do with a certain witch.
.
He'd pretend to teach the King magic, stealing under his nose
And the witch would say yes or be fed to the crows.
.
"You will do as I say or you will die.
After all, you owe me for not telling your crime."
.
The young witch agreed to Shinji's terms and pulled out her wand.
"Be careful with magic," she warned. "Something's can go wrong.
.
.
And so the knight to proceeded to deceive the foolish king
Into persuading him that he was a magical being.
.
And Shinji stole pounds of gold and silver
Enough riches to fill up a river!
.
And as he was about to make his break
The king determined the knight should stay
.
For a show to the people to display his skill
To show that his magical abilities were the real deal.
.
Shinji fled to witch and demanded her assistance
To make the king look magical, "And futile is your resistance."
.
Hikari, falling for the knight in more ways than one,
Blushed deeply and knew she wouldn't run.
.
Hikari agreed and when the time came, she hid and bush
Near the stage the king stood on as he yelled, "Hush!
.
"It is time to display the skills Shinji has taught me.
Just watch and see how magical I can be!
.
"Watch as I will make this horse fly!"
So with a flick of Hikari's wand, the horse touched the sky.
.
Every trick the kind claimed to do,
Hikari complied, keeping the illusion that was not true.
.
That of course, lasted until a man in the crowd yelled,
"My dog has died! Resurrect him! Cast a spell!"
.
The king smiled and waved his faux wand,
While Hikari chuckled, "I knew something would go wrong!"
.
The king did not understand why the dig remained dead,
So he turned to Shinji instead.
.
"What is the matter? Why won't my magic work?" the king asked.
"Exactly! Why won't it?" Shinji questioned the witch who laughed.
.
"You fools! I warned you, did I not?" Hikari cackled, "Nothing can raise the dead!"
Angered, Shinji yelled, "King! A witch tampered with your magic! Have her head!"
.
The king, now distraught, sent his knights after the witch
And Shinji tagged along, hoping to earn a reward and become even more rich!
.
The knights followed the witch's cackled to a tree
Where no Hikari seemed to be.
.
And by this time, Shinji felt funny.
He felt kind of guilty for trading Hikari for money.
.
He had to find her,
Save her.
.
Instead, the tree laughed and giggled and squeed.
So the king ordered, "Cut down that tree!"
.
So the knights complied and cut down the tree
To a little stump about the height of one's knee.
.
Oh how Shinji began to grow sad.
The girl must be dead, so he should be glad.
.
Should.
Should.
.
"Fools!" The stump laughed, "You have angered me!
Now make amends to the wizards or I'll haunt your dreams!
.
And build a statue for that Hikari girl
And peace shall be given to your world!"
.
The king, scared for his life, agreed hastily and left with his knights
And a cackling Buneary left the stump when the time seemed right.
.
With a flash and a stretch, Hikari emerged from the Buneary and laughed
Knowing the king would do exactly what she asked.
.
"You!" Someone called. "You're not dead?"
Hikari turned to see Shinji scratching his head.
.
And while the mauve-haired knight was calmed at the sight of the maiden,
He just growled and pretended that it was she whom he hated.
.
Hikari smirked, seeing right through his mask and laughed in glee.
"Oh Shinji, you'll never get rid of me."
.
And she pecked him on the check, receiving a slight blush
But he Shinji said nothing save it be a harsh, "Oh, Hush."
A/N: Not much fluff, but I'm saving that for the 100-themes.
So far I'm at number 24, so when you leave a review, skip few lines and put a random word you'd like to see theme about, because I am really stuck.
Thanks!
