Tinks and Towels

Burrito James crashed into some barrels that were next to a storing house at the bottom of the hill. He managed to get out of the leaves that were wrapped around him, stood up and dusted himself off and tried to keep his balance.

"Stupid barrels... and stupid clumsy fairies." he muttered to himself.

Then Zarina and Fawn came running down the hill to him.

"James! are you alright?" asked Fawn worriedly.

"I'm fine. Still in one piece." answered James, dizzily.

"Good. My house is just around the corner. Let's go!" said Zarina, relieved.

As they left, a pair of blue eyes were starring at them from the roof of the storing house...

At Zarina's house...

"Well...here we are." said Zarina "You wanna come in, Fawn?" she didn't really want to spend time alone with James. Let alone in her house.

Fawn yawned and said "oh, no thanks Zarina. It's really late. And today was a really tiring day. I'll come find you tomorrow."

"Aww, okay. See ya." said Zarina, disappointed as she shut the door behind her.

(awkward silence)

James looked around the house. It wasn't big nor small. There was a table, a shelf, a closet, a bathroom, a kitchen and something that seemed like a chemistry set, or more like alchemy set. And there was a bed. A bed for one person only.

As Zarina was putting her things away, James asked "Where are you going to sleep?"

She thought that was a stupid question "Umm... the bed? Where else?"

"But won't it be too crowded with the both of us in 1 bed?" James blushed.

"What are you-" then realization hit her.

"HAHAHA! YOU THOUGHT WE WOULD BE SLEEPING IN THE SAME BED? Very funny, James." she laughed while wiping a tear from her eye.

"We're not?" asked James, a little disappointed, yet relieved.

'He was serious?!' Thought Zarina. "Of course not! You'll be sleeping on the couch over there." and she pointed at a sofa at the other end of the room.

"That's how you treat your guest? I thought you would treat someone as honorable as me as first priority. In this case, I get the bed and you sleep on the couch." said James, clearly upset with her arrangements.

Zarina gaped at him "Since when did you become a guest? You're more like a prisoner! And out of the kindness of my heart, I won't be punishing you, yet." Unbelievable.

"But I'm sore from the crash. And I'm not use to these new flappy things on my back! I won't feel comfortable!" said James, searching for excuses in his brain.

"Ha, nice try James. Wait here while I take a shower." said Zarina as headed to the bathroom. "Oh, and you're still sleeping on the couch."

In le bathroom...

"Ohh, what a day!" Zarina said to herself as she closed the bathroom door. At least she thought she was talking to herself.

"Yeah, what a day, Zarina. I see you have reunited with your ex-boyfriend."

"Ahh! Woah! What?" cried Zarina, startled.

And she turned around, only to find a red-faced Tinkerbell with her arms crossed, standing in front of the closed door in the bathroom.

"Tink! H-hi! How did you get in here...?" stammered Zarina.

Tinkerbell quirked an eyebrow "I've been spying on you."

'Shit! that means she knows about-'

"The pirate. He's in your house isn't he?" asked Tink.

Zarina's eyes widen. "Tink. I know that this seems bad but please, don't tell anyone that I'm keeping him in here. Pleaseeeee! I can't afford getting myself into any trouble anymore! I need time to figure out an antidote for turning him into a fairy. And he's so NOT my boyfriend!" she had to stress the last part of the sentence.

Tinkerbell thought for a moment and said sternly, "If he makes even the tiniest mistake, I'll be kicking him out of Pixie Hollow before you can say Davy Jones, and you'll be in boiling hot water. Got it?"

"Y-yea, okay. Thanks Tinkerbell." sighed Zarina.

Tinkerbell turned and marched out of the bathroom door. Zarina almost forgot that James was there until Tink pulled him up by the collar and said in a deep, threatening tone.

"If you dare hurt her again, you'll be wishing that you have never been born. Do I make myself clear, Hook?"

James was more frightened than surprised. He quickly nodded understandingly and fell back onto the couch after Tinkerbell let go of his shirt. Then she made her way to the door and left with a bang.

"Well that was surprisingly scary," said James, still dumbfounded "she's not going to tell anyone, is she?" He recognized her because she was there when the fairies took over his ship.

Zarina shook her head and said "no she won't. She's a fairy of her words... I'm going to shower." and she quickly resumed freshening up.

After some time...

Zarina stepped out of the shower. Normally she would just sleep in a tank top and a pair of underwear. Today she had decided to slip on a t-shirt and a pair of shorts, so she wouldn't show too much flesh in front of James.

Then she realized.

"Oh NO! Oh f***!"

She left all her clothes in the bedroom, even her under garments. And James, the male pirate, was at the other side of the door.

"Nooooo this can't be happening!" she screamed inwardly as she tried to look for stuff to cover herself up.

All she found was a towel.

'FML FML FML FML FML FML FML.' she thought while she wrapped herself tightly with the towel. The towel only stopped at her mid-thigh, so it wasn't really much help. She breathed to calm herself down as she reached for the door knob. 'It's okay, he should be asleep already by now, no worries... BUT WHAT IF HE'S WIDE AWAKE AND IS JUST STANDING RIGHT IN FRONT OF THE DOOR?'

She came up with endless possibilities of what might be waiting for her on the other side of the wooden door. She sighed a breath of fear and thought

'You know what they all say... YOLO!'

OOOOOOOOOOOO! What's Zarina going to do? Keep reading for more! Love you all! review! :D
