Buttercup's POV
I woke up, to a slobbering kiss on the cheek.
"Oh Fang, yuck!" I yelled, there was this sudden rock and I just hit the floor, hard.
"Are you serious?" I got up, stretching...that was odd..I don't remember putting the headband on my head...I took it off and put on a hat...I was in a room by myself...my bag was on the ground. I looked out of the small circular window...but I could hardly see nothing...but...clouds...Am I dreaming? Clouds?
That's when Fang grabbed my hat and flew out of the room, "HEY!"
I ran out of the room and down this wooden hall, I did past some people...I think but...I followed him up some stairs. I grabbed him, holding him as I rip my hat from his mouth.
"Ha...I win again...you little devil." I laughed as I got another lick. That's when I realized...that...is this a ship? I saw the sails fluttering in the wind...but...the sky was so close. I didn't smell any salt water...or hear the water rocking up against the ship. I looked over the rail, Fang landed right next to me. I looked down...there was land below us.
"Holy shit." I screamed...a flying ship, "Fang...we're on a flying ship." I squealed running back and forth. The wind blowing in my face as I looked over the rail. a
"Oh Buttercup, " It was Bubbles, or Aurora, she ran over and hugged me, "I'm so glad you are awake, I want you to meet my boyfriend-"
My eyes widened, "Boomer?" I shouted...he still looked pretty much the same, he was wearing a light blue shirt and a long orange sleeves vest, long blue jeans, with black biker boots. He wore the black fingerless gloves and this long dark blue arm sleeve band on his left arm, and a big tooth necklace. He still had those brown freckles and his hair as yellow as the sun. Around his waist was a holster with a long gun inside.
"See, I told you, she's good at guessing nicknames." Bubbles elbowed him, "He's also Prince of Aquaria...Sebastian."
"But please call me...like you said Boomer, it really is more fitting. So, you're the Star Goddess, huh? An Boomer smiled as Fang jumped into his arms, "Oh hey there...I don't know why Xaldin calls it a demon...he's sweet as Umi...my pet sea serpent."
"And don't you just love those adorable big white paws and who could resist such pretty green eyes!" Bubbles sighed. She tried to reach for him but he just jumped back into my arms, and when she tried again, he tried to bite her.
Thats when I noticed this little girl hiding behind a barrel.
"Who the kid?" I asked and...I had the strange feeling they were hiding something from me.
"Well...his father...was one of my crew members...and he just passed away...but before he died...the kid had no one else...so...he wanted me to take good care of him?"
"Oh...so what's her name?"
"Her?" They both asked.
"Yeah, that's a girl." I rolled my eyes and walked over.
I kneeled over to her, still holding Fang; she had a black tee shirt on, green shorts, blue sneakers and a green cap on her head. She had these pretty rainbow colored butterfly wings. I couldn't see much of her hair...but maybe the color green. She had big green eyes too.
"Hey there, what's your name?" I asked but she looked away, she looked like she had been crying. Fang jumped down and purring while rubbing up against her leg.
I just smiled, "Ya know, green is my favorite color too. How old are ya?" She put four fingers up, "Four...my...my-" That's when Fang snatched her hat and started running off...but I couldn't help noticed...I was right about the green hair but she had animal ears...maybe...dog...Fox...she started crying.
"Oh no, no, I..I...I like your ears." I picked her up...and I just felt so sad. She kinda of reminded me of well...me...but also...my little brother Sam, she even had an X on her right cheek just like him. She stopped crying and pointed at Fang. I put her down as she started running after Fang.
Fang was wagging his tail, in a couching position, as he ran off.
"Amazing...that kid is a Fox Fey." Boomer said, "Or maybe half since she doesn't have a tail."
"A Fox what?"
"Fox Fey or Fairy...they can be equally loyal and equally deceitful...little trouble makers. The fey or fairies kept themselves hidden because of Dark Lord Vulcan, their magical energy is tied to the very heart of our world even the crystals, he would use that. Since they hidden away, our world has been dying." Boomer looked sad but then smile, "You should go eat, we'll be in Dalmasca by at least night fall, not even he could reach us. Then you can meet the rest of our crazy family." Boomer laughed.
"Fantastic." I sighed as Fang jumped into my arms again and the little girl came right behind him, hugging me, she curled her finger towards me and I kneeled down.
She whispered in my ear, "My name is Samantha...but I like Sam better."
Bubbles ran to Boomer in tears, "It's Castor."
