On with the show:)
The toy shop was closing for the night. Solomon and Yugi were locking the doors and Tea was looking at her ballerina clock with admiration.
"I love the clock you made Solomon. The ballerina is so cute."
Solomon smiled at Tea."You're welcome my dear, but I don't see why you don't put it in your bedroom?"
"Because it looks like it belongs here with the other toys. I know Violet isn't one but she is like of the gang."
Tea turned her direction and was startled as she saw the Jack in the box with his scary smile. Tea became annoyed.
"That Jack- in- the- box gives me the creeps Solomon."
Yugi went over to his wife and he shivered when he saw it."That thing gave me nightmares when I was little."
Tea looks back her ballerina and said to her "And you have this creepy guy looking down on you twenty-four seven."
Solomon yawned. "Well, it's time to hit they hay everyone."
They all went to bed.
A few hours later, the clock struck midnight. The toys came back to life and began to play once again, and the toy soldiers came back to life to keep the peace and the law.
Alister, however, was occupied with something on his mind. While he, Raphael and Valon were looking around patrolling he was still thinking about the night before. It wasn't confrontation with Gurimo that occupied his thoughts, it was the ballerina Violet.
She had spunk, very honest since she brought the stuff that Gurimo had stolen, and happens to be a good dancer (she was a ballerina after all).
For some odd reason he can't seem to get her out of his head. It was the first time he saw her last night, but it wasn't what he expected.
In fact, it was better than he imagined.
"Oy Alister, you alrigh' chum?" Valon asked Alister.
Alister snapped out it and looked at Valon. "Uh yeah I'm fine."
Raphael, who saw Alister's trance state, looked worried.
"You look like you were out of it for a moment, you've been like that since yesterday is everything alright?"
"Of course, I'm fine."
Raphael wasn't buying it however. "It's Gurimo wasn't it?"
Alister sighs. "Yes, it's him."
Valon gave a sneer when he heard Gurimo's name. "Ugh! 'e makes me sick! 'E thinks he owns the place and the toys in it! Oh wha' I wouldn't give ta just push 'im in the fire place and be rid of 'im once and for all!"
Raphael puts his hand on Valon's shoulder. "As much as you want to Valon you can't, he is part of the toy community and whether we like it or not we have to protect him and his rights also."
"Yeah," Alister says flatly, "especially since he thinks Violet is his girlfriend when she isn't."
Raphael and Valon look at Alister, "Violet?" they said in unity.
"Yeah, that's the ballerina's name, she told me last night."
Valon and Raphael look at each other and look back at Alister.
"What was she like?" Valon asked.
Alister started, "Well when I met she was dancing to one of the acts for Swan lake. She was pretty good, then Gurimo came up being a jerk like always and denied that he stolen anything and claimed he "borrowed them" " Alister suddenly gave a laugh "and when she brought out the stuffing and ties oh you guys should of seen the look on his face! Violet had a straight face when that happened to, it was hilarious and..why are you two looking at me like that?"
Raphael and Valon had their arms crossed, their eyes were narrowed and they had smirks on their faces.
"Now we understand." Raphael said.
"...What are you two talking about?"
It wasn't long before Valon exclaimed.
"YOU LIKE 'ER ALISTER!"
The toys stopped and stared at the trio. While Alister turned pink from head to toe and then glared at the Valon.
The toys went back to what they were doing and Alister put Valon in a head lock.
"You know," Alister says, "sometimes I wonder if you either have no inside voice or no brain."
Alister lets Valon go and the boy rubbed his neck.
"Ow, ya didn' 'ave to do tha' mate!" Valon groaned.
"That's what you get, besides I don't like her. I just respect her that's all. And she and I just met, and I highly doubt she likes me in that way either."
"So you're saying you don't know if she feels that way about you then?" Raphael said.
"Well we just met, not to mention she has to put up with Gurimo so she wouldn't be interested at this point."
"So you are interested but you don't that she isn't?"
"I guess but-" Alister stopped and was wide eyed when he realized what he was saying. He looks at Raphael, who was smiling, with a glare.
"Do you know how much I hate you right now?"
Raphael laughed. Then the three soldiers heard a crash and saw two rage dolls trapped under some building block calling for help.
Alister, Raphael and Valon went over to get the blocks off the dolls. They thanked the trio ad they continued patrolling.
Until Raphael turned to Alister "Alister, maybe you should go check on Gurimo."
Alister was confused by his older friends statement. "Why's that? I already dealt with him last night."
"True...but he is with Violet and she would need a body guard, especially since it's Gurimo."
"Yeah but-" Alister finally put the pieces together. Raphael was giving him an excuse to go see Violet.
"Alright I'll go," Alister said as he was leaving, but not before he looked at them with a glare, "and I DO NOT like her!"
Alister leaves. While Raphael folded his arms with a smile and Valon grinned.
Alister was climbing up the counter again. When he got up he saw Violet,
she wasn't dancing, instead she was getting away from Gurimo's grasp as he tried kissing her. She was yelling him to let her go and he refused to.
"Let me go!" Violet exclaimed.
Gurimo laughed. "Come on my dear, just a little kiss."
Alister was shocked by what he was seeing, and for some strange reason he felt another emotion coming over himself as he walked over to them. He felt angry, yes he was angry that Gurimo was being a burden again but seeing him, trying to kiss Violet was making him angry for some odd reason. He kept wondering why it was making so mad. Alister finally went to them.
"Gurimo! let her go right now!" Alister demanded.
Gurimo and Violet look at Alister.
"Mind your own business boy!" Gurimo exclaims at him, as he was attempting to kiss Violet, she ended up biting him on the hand.
Gurimo ended up letting her hand go and she was falling backwards. Alister went to catch her and the both ended up on the ground. Before they knew it, Alister was holding Violet and she was on top of him and they were facing each other, they turned red. Violet got off of Alister and he was still flushed, but he shook it off and confronted Gurimo.
"Gurimo what is going on here!?" Alister demanded, even though he had a gut feeling of what was happening at the scene.
Gurimo crossed his arms. "I was trying to proclaim my love for Violet of course!"
Violet glared. "As if! he was trying to kiss me without consent saying I belong to him!"
Alister started getting more and more mad when Violet said those words. What he saw when he came up on the table made it clear that she was telling the truth.
Gurimo shot back at Violet. "Now see here!"
"That's enough!" Alister exclaimed, "Gurimo, I'm placing a restraining order against you. You are to stay as far away from Violet as possible, do I make myself clear?"
"One problem there Alister," Gurimo said with a smirk, "Violet and I are neighbors."
"Then I will have to let Solomon know from my signs to relocate you somewhere else. As of this point, you are not have any contact with Violet ever again, now get in your box before I make you."
Gurimo was appalled by Alister's actions. While Violet was looking at Alister with surprise, and a little admiration.
"You can't do this!" Gurimo spat out.
"Well I just did," Alister said darkly,"now get in your box, you just costed your freedom."
Gurimo was red with rage, but delivered his threat. "You made a fool out of me for the last time Alister! I will get you! one way or another! you shall pay for your insolence!" With that, Gurimo went into his box.
Alister was still breathing hard. He suddenly felt a hand on his shoulder, he flinched a bit but then he saw Violet.
"Are you okay?" She asked him.
Alister hesitated a bit but answered. "Yeah I'm fine...are you okay?"
Violet smiled. "I am now, thank you."
Alister straightened himself up. "Your welcome, and until Gurimo is relocated I will be your body guard."
'Oh really?" Violet said, "wow...I have to say I'm honored."
"Well it IS Gurimo, I can't leave you here alone with that guy."
Violet went over to one of the plastic flowers in her Swan Lake area. She picked a pink flower and went back over to Alister, she puts the flower on his uniform.
"Consider this as a token of my gratitude." Violet said.
Alister looks at the flower, he looks at Violet with a smirk. "This is the first time someone gave me a toy flower as a thank you."
Violet gave him a sly smile. "Oh? and I suppose you would want something more I presume?"
Alister smiled and shook his head. "Really, thank you."
Violet looks over the the plastic lake with the swans, she looks back at Alister.
"Since you are my body guard, maybe we should have some fun."
Alister blinked. "What do you mean?"
Violet grabbed Alister's hand and took him over to the side of the lake. They stood in front of each other.
"Violet what are you doing?" Alister asked, but Violet puts her finger to his lips.
His heart started racing,she started to moved around him. Twirling, then she bowed and brought her hand out and looked at him.
"Care to dance?" She asked.
Alister didn't know what to say, but something came over him and he grabbed her hand. It wasn't long until they started dancing, Alister lifted Violet in the air and twirled her and he would blush when ends up holding her legs, her hips, well any other part of her body. For Alister, for some reason, he was feeling some kind of mystical aura when he was doing ballet with Violet. He was starting to feel calm as he is with this woman as they moved together in the music. Everything was peaceful, and when he looked into her blue eyes the whole time. When they finished their dance Alister and Violet looked at each other for a long brief moment. Alister lets go of her hands.
"It was..really nice dancing with you Violet." Alister said looking away.
Violet raised an eyebrow. "You don't seem to have like it."
"I do," Alister said quickly so she wouldn't misunderstand him, "It's just well, that was my first time dancing."
Violet went wide eyed. "Seriously, but you were incredible tonight."
Alister blushed, "Th..thank you," Alister took a deep breath, "but anyways, It's about time for us to go back to our place. It won't be long before Solomon and his family wakes up, I'll make sure to give him the sign to move Gurimo away from you."
"Alister?" Violet said before Alister walked away.
She held out his hand. Alister didn't know what she was doing at first but then he realized what it meant. Alister gently took it and kissed her hand.
Violet blushed a bit but smiled. "That is your reward for being my body guard."
Alister smiled, he was about to leave but then he realized was still holding Violet's hand, he lets go of it quickly. But he slowly went down the table.
"Same time tomorrow?" Violet asked as she looked down at him.
Alister looked up and his eyes were bright when he saw her. She looked like she was glowing from the fireplace's dim light, her eyes twinkling like the stars.
Alister gasped, but then he answered. "Um yeah, sure."
Alister started climbing down and Violet smiled again.
"Goodnight Alister!" She exclaimed to him when he reached the ground.
Alister stopped and then he started walking quietly and said quietly.
"Goodnight Violet."
