Wednesday:
Professor Knight said that I've improved on my spear skills. While he said that I would be ready for mounted combat, he added that it wasn't my time just yet.
Now, he wanted me to learn how to use the polearm. Polearms are very similar to pikes and halberds as while stabbing is vital, their swinging attacks bring out their full effectiveness.
He said that the easiest way to use it is to hold it like a spear, but use it like a sword. So far, it has worked. However, he has also hinted that several circular techniques can also work.
It definitely was quite easy, to say the least. However, he told me that my task was to discover new and original techniques.
We did have a spar with polearms. However, we ended up in a stalemate despite the fact that he would have the upper hand. Mr. Knight said that my problem was that I was too grounded as I need to use the environment more, so I need to practice on that.
I waited in the Mirror Lab for Blondie Locks to arrive. It was quite a long time since I did finish class early. When the door opened, someone had came in. It wasn't Blondie, but it was Dexter Charming.
"Dexter? What brings you here?" I asked.
"Hey, I'm here to act as the cameraman for your interview on the MirrorCast."
"Oh, so you're the cameraman. How long have you been doing this?"
"Since the first episode."
"Wow, that really takes dedication." I told him.
He shrugged. "It's a past time since I have nothing better to do."
We decided to make small talk about technology, though Dexter look quite baffled at how I'm way behind it. He recommended that I should check out the Mirror shop down at Book End to try out some of them.
"The MirrorPad allows you more access to more apps." he said, telling me about the MirrorPad features.
"Right, I'll keep that in mind." Which I did...for a few seconds. What? I think that a MirrorPhone is enough for communication.
Suddenly, Blondie had burst through the doors.
"Cayden! You're here!" she exclaimed.
"Yes, I am." I replied, eyebrow raised.
"That's just right! Now I won't have to lockpick your dorm room."
"Yeah, you-wait what?"
She ignored that and proceeded to do her introduction while Dexter began to roll the camera on his MirrorPad.
"Welcome viewers, to my MirrorCast show: Just Right! I'm your host, Blondie Locks, and today we have a special new episode for you all. Last time I ask you all, the viewers, to send in questions for our guest today. There were a lot of questions you guys had sent, but I decided to choose ones that are just right."
She looked at me.
"Right now I'm with new student, Cayden Pendragon, who is known as the descendant of King Arthur of Camelot. Tell me, Cayden. How do you feel being on the show?"
"Feels nice to be here." I answered.
And this is how the questions went.
The Interview:
Blondie: You're having a sleepover with your best friends forever after. How will you spend the evening?
Cayden: Well, I honestly have no idea. Sleepover as in sleeping over at someone's home?
Blondie nodded.
Cayden: Hmm...I guess we do what the host would want us to do.
Blondie: But what if you're the host?
Cayden: We can...do what they want?
Blondie raised her eyebrow.
Cayden: I mean, I am open to ideas. I haven't had a a single clue as to what you do at a sleepover other than sleep.
Blondie: So you wouldn't mind if someone wanted you to talk about...love interests?
Blondie flutters her eyes while I stutter, my face slightly red.
Cayden: W-well, I don't really mind it.
Blondie: Speaking of sleep, here's another question. What position do you usually sleep in?
Cayden: Fetal position.
Blondie gives an inquiring look.
Cayden: I need to feel more cozy, so I like to huddle in my blanket.
Blondie nodded in agreement.
Blondie: That's just right. I mean, I remember using a bed that made me feel cozy.
Cayden: What happened?
Blondie: Well, the family that let me use their bed had to make me leave. I mean, I was tired so I don't see why they have to be rude about it.
Cayden: You learn something new everyday.
Blondie: Oh, there's another question for you! You arrive a little late to the Castleteria for lunch and it's packed. Where do you sit?
Cayden: The patio by the Enchanted Forest. Quite a place of solitude there.
Blondie: But what about your friends?
Cayden: I wouldn't want to be an inconvenience. I'm pretty sure that they're busy.
Blondie: But what if they aren't?
Cayden: Then...oops?
Blondie rolled her eyes as Cayden shrugged with a sheepish smile.
Blondie: Well, how often do you use your phone? I mean, you could hext them to save you a spot.
Cayden: I could. However, I only use my MirrorPhone for emergencies since there was nothing really important.
Blondie: What about your Fablebook account?
Cayden: Oh, that? I was too busy training to even notice.
Blondie: Well, did you check your account today?
Cayden: No, not yet.
Blondie: Check it now.
Cayden takes his MirrorPhone out and goes to his Fablebook account. He is surprised to see a couple of notifications.
Cayden: Wow, I did not even notice that there was that many.
Blondie: Really? How many friend requests did you get?
Cayden: 43 requests.
Blondie: And you didn't even check them? How about you check them now?
Cayden: Maybe later. We have an interview now.
Blondie: Oh, that's right. Imagine if The Tower Salon is holding an Ever After High Makevover Day, which has happened before. Which totally wicked hairstyle do you want to try?
Cayden rubs his chin in thought, before pointing to his hair.
Cayden: I think I've already did.
Blondie looks at him.
Blondie: I think it's just right for you.
Cayden: Fun fact, I used to have rather long hair that reached below my neck.
Blondie: I can't imagine you with long hair. Was it as long as Holly O'Hair's?
Cayden: Oh, definitely not. The itch will only get worse.
Blondie cringes in disgust.
Cayden: It's a guy thing. You'd understand.
Both of them look at Dexter, who nods in agreement.
Blondie: Fair enough. Why cut it down though?
Cayden: It's meant to be a new chapter of my life. Throughout my life until now, I've been stuck with long hair. Now, I feel like there's something waiting out there for me.
Blondie: That's really symbolic of you.
Cayden: It is? I say what's on my mind.
Blondie: Next question. Who is the most famous person you've met so far?
Cayden: Famous? Well, no one.
Blondie and Dexter gasp. More gasps are heard outside the lab.
Blondie: You mean you have no idea who the fairy tales are?
Cayden: When you live in a further part of the Fairy Tale World, what do you expect?
Blondie: I expected to have the tales passed down throughout the realms!
Cayden: Where I'm from, it's all way behind for me. Technology and tales are rather foreign there.
Blondie gave a sad frown.
Blondie: That's...horrible.
Cayden nodded solemnly.
Cayden: However, I would meet King Arthur himself if I had the chance.
Blondie: Why's that?
Cayden: So that I can test my skills against him.
Blondie gasped in horror.
Blondie: You would fight your own ancestor?
Cayden laughed softly.
Cayden: Of course not! It's a spar that I'm looking forward to. Like if Daring and Dexter were to joust in a tournament.
Blondie sighed in relief.
Blondie: If you did fight, you might not be able to exist now.
Cayden rolled his eyes.
Cayden: You're being dramatic.
Blondie: And now about drama. You're fairy hexcited about the Legacy Day dance. There's just one problem: The girl you like is being asked out by many other boys. How do you feel?
Cayden scratched his head.
Cayden: I would feel devastated. I mean, there are other good-looking guys around this school. And they're practically princes!
Blondie: But you're a prince too.
Cayden: I prefer to be a knight that goes on adventures. Still, I'm not exactly the most "princely" person in this school.
Blondie: Why is that?
Cayden: There's Daring Charming with his looks, skills and charisma. I'm not exactly good-looking, I still have a long way to go and I'm more of a man of action.
Blondie: Would you change any of that?
Cayden: Everything except my looks. I believe that looks aren't everything to me since I have other important areas I want to improve.
Blondie: So what would you do to ask the girl out after you've improved those areas?
Cayden: I would walk up to her and ask her this, "Will you go to the dance with me?".
Blondie looked in surprise.
Blondie: That's it? No dramatic entrance?
Cayden: I don't like beating around the bush. It wastes both me and the girl's time.
Blondie: But what if they like those kinds of things?
Cayden shrugged.
Cayden: Then I screwed up.
Blondie: Would you try again?
Cayden: I wouldn't. If they say 'no', then no means no. I will have to respect that.
Blondie: Then would you go to the dance?
Cayden: I don't see why not. I can see my friends there, though they might be busy with their dates.
Blondie: Next question. You're spellbound by a wicked awesome girl who is supposed to be at a Science & Sorcery study party. What do you do?
Cayden raised an eyebrow.
Cayden: Study. Mr. Rumpelstiltskin will torture us if we fail.
Blondie nodded in agreement.
Blondie: That's right. Ooh! There's a new one here. You really want to go to the concert in the Red Shoes Dance Club, even though it's going to be a school night. What are you gonna do?
Cayden: If it's with a friend, well...
Cayden shifted his eyes while Blondie gives a mischievous smile.
Blondie: You aren't.
Cayden: W-well, I...
Blondie: You are!
Cayden: I-if it's for a friend, then I don't see why I shouldn't take the opportunity.
Blondie: Even if it means getting into trouble?
Cayden scratches his head.
Cayden: Friends should stick together, shouldn't they?
Blondie thought about it.
Blondie: Depends. Next question, do you have a girlfriend?
Cayden: No, I don't.
Blondie: Have you ever had a girlfriend?
Cayden: Nope.
Blondie: Do you have eyes on a girl now?
Cayden: I do, but my feelings are uncertain right now. Time will tell if I really do feel such affection in the future.
Blondie: Care to tell us who do you hold those feelings for?
Cayden: Sorry but that's very vital information to keep.
Cayden winks at the camera as Blondie pouts cutely.
Blondie: Well, we're running out of time. So one final question: Are you a royal or a rebel?
Cayden: As of now, I'm staying out of this conflict. My bonds of loyalty will not be wavered by such trivial matters.
Blondie: It's quite big to be trivial.
Cayden: Nevertheless, my only affiliation is with my friendships.
Blondie: Thanks for the interview, Cayden. I'm Blondie Locks and you've just watched Just Right.
The interview actually went better thank I expected. Sure, it wasn't spectacular, but I'm simply done from it for good.
Though quickly leaving the lab wasn't a good idea to show how calm I was.
I feel like going to sleep now. Gonna finish this up.
A/N: Nothing spectacular. It definitely would've been interesting if you guys sent in questions though. Oh well! Better luck next time! With that out of the way, who do you want him to interact with next? As always, same or different.
