Ben's Note of Something: Hey guys! Alright, so it seems to me as though Dragon Games seem to be the topic of discussion, so I figured I might as well poor my soul into this author's note. This chapter might be mostly me talking, which I'm sorry for, but since you guys want to know my opinion, I shall give you just that. Here is what I think was terrible about this arc.
1. Snow White. Not Apple, Snow. Basically what I'm getting is that she's a selfish piece of sheep who cares nothing about her subjects or even her daughter: only her popularity. If her daughter looks good, than she looks good. Plus, she's basically a slave owner with all those dwarves.
2. Apple White. Apple, we've given you hundreds of times to develop as a character. You developed in Thronecoming, then Way to Wonderland, and then again in Dragon Games. How many times do you have to realize its ok to choose destiny? All we're doing is shoving the exact same plot in our faces over and over again.
3. Why is it called the Dragon Games again? Last I checked, we got about five minutes of the actual games.
4. Darling. Now, to be honest, I loved Darling in this arc. It's not something I hated. What I hate is that Mattell thinks they're going to get away with this 'kiss'. They aren't. My reasons for this is simple: it wasn't a kiss. It was a rescue breath. Darling didn't love Apple and Apple didn't love Darling. Darling was worried about her friend and wanted to save her, so the power of wanting to save Apple is what led the breath to be seen as a kiss. However, I do have a side theory with what happened and, with the help of TV Tropes, have confirmed it to be possibly correct. I don't hate that Mattell is trying to branch out on same-sex couples, I just hate that they did it wrong.
KCL: Lots of questions! First, I'm not sure if you can write FanFiciton on phones. Maybe? Second, TV Tropes have confirmed that Darling is, in fact, a lesbian. Not that I'm dissing against this, but they have enough proof, plus, I think one of the writers confirmed it somewhere. Third, Rapple is still a pairing, but my pairing with Darling has changed. Sorry if this is news you don't want to hear, but I blame Mattell. (Also, cookies and cream is my favorite.)
Rainbow Swirl: Thank you! Finally someone who sees that rescue breath for what it was! I think that it was hinting at something happening though. I have reason to believe the only reason it worked when Darling 'kissed' Apple was because Apple wasn't in love with a guy: she was in love with a girl. Not Darling specifically, which I seriously think was messed up, but someone else. Just a theory, but you know.
Prompt 62: Fall
Kitty knew she would get in trouble if her doctors found out.
Kitty stood on the roof, looking out at the scenery. She knew that her life could have ended because of this roof, and she hated being up here by herself. But she knew it was the best place to be to practice.
Kitty closed her eyes and smiled her Cheshire grin. She envisioned her bench down below, wanting to be in Alistair's arms. She felt a tingling in her arms, signaling it was working. Her smile became real for a moment… before it began to burn.
"Ouch!" she hissed, canceling her thoughts. She opened her eyes to find that her arms were bright red with burns. She lightly touched one of them and hissed at the pain. "Dang it…" she murmured.
Kitty had been trying to teleport for three days, every time resulting in some kind of burn. She'd come up on the roof and think about how she used to teleport. She'd get going… only to fail due to how much it hurt.
She didn't tell anyone, not even Alistair. Kitty had to make sure her arms were covered in case she happened to see him after one of her attempts. She didn't want to get him involved. He'd been through enough. He didn't need more drama on top of that.
Kitty took another breath and shut her eyes. She thought of her dorm room, her bed, and she smiled her Cheshire smile. She felt the tingling again, and she knew she was beginning to vanish. Wanting to get it over with before feeling the pain, she thought quickly, rushing the process of disappearing faster.
She managed to completely vanish… only to feel her body explode on fire. Kitty screamed in pain and instantly fell out of her teleportation.
Only to fall to the ground head first.
"Ow," she moaned. Her body still burned, not feeling at all good. Kitty slowly got up, hissing at the pain of just getting up off the ground. She slowly began to walk, feeling pain with every step she took.
"No more," she said, wincing. "At least… not today."
As Kitty walked off, a glint could be seen coming from the bush she had fallen in. Kitty didn't notice as she hobbled away. For, within the bush, was something that had never left Kitty's neck for a long, long time.
Alistair's locket.
BN: Like I said, not really much chapter based as it was me ranting based. But anyway, this is the start of the next arc, which doesn't have a fancy name for once. The Locket arc? Sure, we'll go with that. This chapter was basically to start off the arc by losing the locket, sure, but also to show a side of Kitty I felt needed to be there. She lost something she desperately relied on. I mean, if we lose something important, we try our hardest to regain it, right? I felt having Kitty trying to teleport again, only to fail, shows how much she misses having that ability. Just something I thought I should add.
Like? Hate? Meh? Let me know via review!
