Chapter 7 The softer side of the princesses and the knights
Quanktumspirit: "I am as well sorry for not continuing with this story, but because my computer broke almost 2 month's ago I needed a new one and only in January 2013 did I get a new one so that I can continue with the chapter. So I beg for your forgiveness. Written date: Sunday 13th January 2013. Oh and M.M This story was deleted by its original owner because she lost inspiration for it. I begged the original owner to not delete before I had all the chapter's and carried on with it. And she held her promise so I am continuing this."
The knights suggested to the king that they should travel this evening and leave immediately once all their belongings have been stored in the cart. The king asked worried how many more knight's they would need, but they refused to take any more since they were capable enough of guarding the girls. The king nodded and with a heavy heart he hugged his daughter's goodbye and they left towards the east.
"Don't worry father. We will get the contract and then return once we have it." Blossom said.
"By the way. If something does happen where our knights can't handle then I and Bunny will protect us all." Buttercup said with a wicked grin.
"Only over our dead corpses," Bruiser said giving Buttercup a glare.
Butch glared sharp back to his brother to knock it off with the insults. As the last luggage of the princesses was stored away the knight's all helped the princess's into the coach and then they road off.
Butch and Bruiser sat on two black horses riding behind the cart whiles Brick and Boomer controlled the cart around the country to get to Japan as fast as they could.
Butch and Bruiser were both from the pack of the Rowdyruffboy brother's the closest. Just like Buttercup and Bunny. Butch knew as well that Bruiser had a reason for his name.
"Bruiser... do you still blame yourself for that incident... with father?" Butch asked his younger brother worried.
Bruiser gave Butch one of his famous death glares, but as he saw that Butch's question came with a worry he softened up a bit and looked first around himself to make sure nothing is going to happen in the next 5 minutes, before looking back over to Butch.
"Yes... if only I watched out more carefully then... then he wouldn't be as mad at me anymore. Why did I have to be so stubborn and stupid?" Bruiser asked with tears streaming down his face.
Butch patted his younger brother on the back to try and keep him calm. Bruiser was named like that because of their father and that incident nearly 18 years ago.
Bruiser's flashback of the past
A young unnamed boy roughly 3 years old with brown hair and violet eyes was playing with his 3 other brothers' outside by the apple tree. As the 4 brothers were born their father and mother had already names for 3 of the boy's... but because they didn't know if the 4th one would survive they didn't name him yet. And over 3 years no fitting name came up for the lad.
"Hey, violet are you going to throw the ball or what?" Brick the oldest asked looking at his violet unnamed brother.
"Hu? Oh yeah. Sorry Brick," The violet kid said.
The young boy threw the ball and Brick hit it swinging it towards their home.
"And that is a strick. Brick the king wins again against his purple brother,"Brick said.
He was running with Boomer who was at base 2 around to get 2 home run's in one. But as they passed they heard a loud scream coming from their home.
"WHO HIT ME WITH A BASEBALL!" Their father screamed.
Out of the house ran their very mad father now with a violet bruised eye. His 4 sons cowered in fear of each other. Boomer pushed their still unnamed brother forward and he cowered in his father's glare. Their mother came out to see what all the shouting was about.
"What's wrong Andrew? Have Boomer, Buch, Brick and our 4th unnamed kid hurt you?" Their mother asked.
"Yes. Unnamed son, did you hit the baseball in my now bruised and hurting eye?" Their father, now known as Andrew asked them mad.
The violet kid nodded with tears in his eyes. He didn't mean to hurt anybody. Maybe he should tone down on his baseball skills a bit.
"I'm so sorry father. I didn't mean to hurt you. Please don't take or most favourite sport away from us. We were just practising," The violet kid said.
"I won't. But from today all of you are grounded for 3 days. Of to the house now kid's," Their father instructed them.
Without hesitation, the 4 kid's ran quickly back home and sat in their chair's around the dining room table. The violet kid wondered how many beatings he might get. 2, 3. The sons could hear their father and mother talking next door.
"I can't believe he just hit me with a baseball. It is all bruised up now..." Their father said whiles looking at himself in the mirror.
"I'm sure it was an accident. But it gave you a right punch dear," Their mother said as she placed a piece of stake over his now violet eye.
"Wait for a minute... I know now what his name should be Matilda, of to our son's," Their father said calmly.
The 4 son's sat in their chair's and looked at their father and his now swollen eye.
"Violet son..." Their father said calmly.
The violet son cowered with fear in front of his father and his brother's tried to protect him. But suddenly he was being kissed by his dad and hugged. He had a wide smile.
"I said sorry dad," The violet kid tried again.
"No, no. It's not that. I got now the perfect name for you. From this day forth you will be known as Bruiser," Andrew said with a wide smile.
"Bruiser. That is an excellent name dear. Ok, Bruiser?" Matilda asked.
Bruiser nodded and everybody hugged him tightly. Who knew that out of an accident comes the perfect name?
Back to the present matter
"Why did dad have to name me like that? So that I can always feel a guilt feeling that I got a name by hurting my own family?" Bruiser asked as he whipped away his tears.
"Be pleased that you have a name in the first place, Bruiser. So calm yourself. Ok?" Butch said.
Butch grabbed hold of Bruiser's hand and looked at him. Bruiser nodded as he held onto his older brother's hand and smiled. Suddenly they bashed into the back luggage cart and looked startled forward.
Blossom, Bubbles, Buttercup and Bunny all were out of the cart and Brick was just walking over to his other two brother's.
"Have you two woken up now? We are not here for a holiday Butch and Bruiser. We are here to guard the princesses," Brick said.
"Why did we stop? Was there a reason?" Bruiser asked.
"Yes, the horses need a long rest. We have been riding them for over 2 day's non-stop," Boomer said as he set up the princesses tents.
"So you boy's should rest too," Bubbles said as she set up their tent.
That made everybody silence as the boy's looked over to Bubbles confused. What were they up to?
"Buttercup, you go off hunting for our dinner, Blossom you can go and find us some water, I set up the tent's and you Bunny make sure the boy's go nowhere instead of asleep in the tent's right now," Bubbles gave the order's out.
"Mam, yes mam," All the girl's said smiling wickedly.
"With pleasure Bubbles. So come on boys. Chop, chop. Bedtime," Bunny said smiling.
She guided the boy's into their tent's and then she made sure they lay down on the princesses bed's and were asleep. As she left the tent Boomer quiet creeped out back to the luggage cart to get his stuffed octopus called: Octiny. He slept with that stuffed toy since he was 2 and can't sleep a wink without it.
Bubbles caught him on the act and she looked at her royal guard confused.
"Um... Sir Boomer... aren't you supposed to rest?" Bubbles asked looking at Boomer confused.
"Sorry, your highness... but I can't sleep without my girl stuffed toy I had since day one ... she remind's me back to my parent's..." Boomer said quiet and sad.
Boomer tried to hide his stuffed toy, but Bubbles being a young girl at heart grabbed the stuffed toy and looked at it interestingly. Octini was a pink octopus with a red bow in her hair and 8 legs. It was filled with wool and really cuddly.
"Don't worry Sir Boomer. I won't tell a soul. In fact, I have my own little friend with me. Octi his name is." Princess Bubbles said.
She got out a small violet octopus with a hat on it. It was stuffed as well and really cuddly. Boomer giggled quietly and smiled over at Bubbles. Bubbles looked at Boomer and smiled back at him. Knowing that they were close to each of there heart's made them happy inside.
"Good night your highness," Boomer quickly said, snatched his Octini and left into his tent.
Bubbles smiled over and sat with her sister's by the campfire roasting some march mellow's.
"So what was that all about Bubbles?" Bunny asked her sister interestingly.
"Hu? what was what?" Bubbles asked her older sister.
"You heard us? That thing with Sir Boomer? Are you getting close to him?" Buttercup asked whiles grinning suspiciously.
"What? No, no... we are just good friend's," Bubbles quickly said whiles blushing madly and staring off into the flames.
"Come on. We have to give her a chance to fall in love. It is not easy to find your true love in a world full of morons." Bunny said.
"No Bubbles. You know you are not allowed to fall in love with Sir Boomer. He may be your guard, but that is that. You are not permitted to take this relationship any further than a business deal. You are about to be married within a few days to Prince Cody of the other land where we are of too." Blossom reminded her sister of it.
"But I don't love Prince Cody. He is a compleat stranger to me. Boomer is everything I dreamed to find in a prince and more. He is like my soulmate." Bubbles said with tears in her eyes.
Her State mind told her to follow the plan and get to know Prince Cody and love him... but her princess' heart told her to hold onto this sweet love for her knight in shining armour Boomer and maybe have a secret relationship behind everybody's back. Bubbles smiled quietly to herself as she listened to the wind.
Blossom gave Bubbles a glare and that reminded her of a song.
"The life of a princess
From her birth is well-defined
She must humbly serve her country
Play the parts she's been assigned." Blossom sings.
"She guards the hopes of her country
Weak and mighty, rich and poor." Buttercup sings next.
"Who could ever ask for more?
(Who could ever ask for...)
Who could ever ask for...
More?" Bunny asked.
"I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be." Bubbles sang with more confidence.
"To slouch when I sit
To eat a whole cake
Feel the sun on my feet." Bunny sings excitedly.
"Get dirty
Act silly
Be anything I want to be
To dance around
In my underwear." Bubbles sing chuckling.
"To run really fast
To get rid of this fan
To eat a whole cake
Get crazy
With frosting." Buttercup sings.
"No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worries
No hands folded perfect,
like holding a lily." Buttercup, Bunny and Bubbles sing at the same time.
"No pinchy shoes?" Blossom asked singing.
"I wanna be like other girls
Scrape up my knees like other girls can
Just to be free,
like other girls
Get to be!" All the girls sing together.
"To speak for myself
To sing way off key
Marry someone I've met,
who loves me for me." Blossom sings.
"No escorts
No manners
No nursemaids
No worries
No hands folded perfect,
like holding a lily
No pinchy shoes
I wanna be like other girls
Climb up a tree like other girls can
Just to be free like other girls
Get to be." All the Princesses sing the last part together.
After the song, the girl's all giggled. Then they lay in there bed's and Princess Bubbles hugged her stuffed octopus Octi. She looked into his plastic button eyes and smiled. She may be assigned to marry Prince Cody... but her heart was set on Sir Boomer. She will get him may it cost her her kingdom and life or not.
