Chapter 49: An arrival (part 1)
4 days later, Niora never came back since her last words with Mikayla, it's the ceremony day, Mikayla was in the shower, she hasn't talked to anyone ever since, she was getting ready.
Kipo and Zet were getting ready too, they were wearing the outfits that Jamil and Roza made for them.
Kipo : it's been 4 days....where do you think she is ?
Zet : I don't know....but she has to be somewhere near....where else she'd go.
Kipo : maybe we can look for her.
Zet : then what....there is nothing we can do....she can't be here.
Kipo : I know...but we have to know where she is at least.
Zet : even if we try....it will take a while to find her....we have to be here with Mikayla....right now...she's more important.
Kipo finished dressing up.
Kipo : so....how do I look ?
Zet chuckled.
Zet : every time you wear this dress you remind me why I'm glad that I met Roza and Jamil....you look amazing.
Kipo : hey !....this is your first time doing a good flirt.
Zet smiled.
Zet : you keep saying I'm bad at flirting....then why do you always like them ?
Kipo : I didn't say I did.
Zet : yeah....sure you don't....literally every time I try to flirt your hair glows.
Kipo : well it's not right now so...
Zet : are you sure ?
Kipo then looked at her hair glowing in the reflection of the ice.
Kipo : damnit....
Zet started laughing.
Zet : come on....say it.
Kipo : fine....you're....ok at flirting.
Zet : sure....I'll take it.
After minutes, Zet finished wearing his suit.
Zet : and I'm done.....looks good ?
Kipo : alright....let me show you what a good flirt is like....ehm.....If I were a cat....I'd spend my nine lives with you.
Zet smiled.
Zet : alright....you made me blush.....guess I'm terrible at flirting.
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : see ?.....that's how you flirt....you look really good.
Zet : say one more thing and I'm kissing you.
Kipo : uh....what's 999,999 plus one ?
Zet : million.
Kipo : that's the number of ways I can make you smile.
Zet : Jesus Christ....
Zet then came close to Kipo and kissed her, Kipo saw his hair, it was glowing.
Kipo : hey ! I made you glow !
Zet : of course you did.....that was the best flirting I ever heard.....am I even the first guy you ever date ?
Kipo : yeah you are....these flirt lines are just some I heard from my friends in school....nobody liked the pink girl....they thought I was a weirdo.
Zet : pink girl ?
Kipo : that's what I was called all the time.....the teacher and like 3 other people who knew my name and actually called me Kipo.....even Sarah used to call me pink girl.
Zet : well....they missed the best chance ever....and I'm not going to miss it too.
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : I love you too....come on...let's go see Mikayla.
They left the tent and headed to the main building.
Zet : so are we like the main guests ?
Kipo : yeah sort of....we'll get to be with John and Mikayla when they are crowned.
Zet and Kipo arrived at the main building, they headed to Mikayla's room, John was inside with her, Kipo knocked on the door.
John : who is it ?
Kipo : it's me and Zet.
John : come in.
Kipo opened the door, she saw John and Mikayla wearing their royal outfits, they are almost ready.
Kipo : hey.
John : hey.
Kipo : how's are you guys doing ?
John then looked at Mikayla, Zet and Kipo did the same.
Kipo : Mikayla...how are you ?
Mikayla nodded.
Mikayla : I'm...I'm fine.
Kipo : are you ready for today ?
Mikayla got up headed to the exit.
Mikayla : let's be done with this already.
Mikayla got out of the room.
John : I know what happened....but I have no idea what anyone can do about it....she's been like this for the past 4 days.
Zet : don't worry...there is nothing you can do...only time can make her feel better.
John : but how long will she stay like this ?
Zet : you can't know....it can be a minute....a month....or a year....it's not anyone's choice but hers to decide.
Kipo : look...all you have to do now is finish the ceremony....and then we'll talk if we can.
Zet : now go....follow her.
John then left the room.
Kipo sighed.
Kipo : I really want to help her...I can't stand seeing her like this.
Zet : there is nothing any of us can do....she can't see her sister anymore....it's pretty normal for her to be like this for a while.
Kipo : is there nothing at all we can do ?
Zet : unless we can find a way to remove the ban off of Niora....no...nothing will help....and we both know that we can't do this.
Kipo : it's not just Mikayla....even John....he's frustrated because she is.
Zet : look...we'll try to do something...but for now....we have to be done with this ceremony.
Kipo sighed.
Kipo : ok...let's go.
Kipo and Zet then got out of the room and followed John and Mikayla.
John : we'll start soon....are you ready ?
Kipo : we're ready.
John : alright.
John then called the guards.
John : all guards....head to your positions.
After moments, all the guards surrounded the building from the outside, and more guards came to stand outside in order.
John then went to see Mikayla.
John : hey....are you ready ?
Mikayla nodded as she was looking at the ground.
John : ok...
John then kissed her on her head.
John : we'll start whenever you're ready.
Phil then showed up.
Phil : hi....is everyone ready ?
John : we'll be ready in minutes.
Phil then saw Kipo and Zet.
Phil : um...Kipo ?
Kipo : hm...oh hi Phil.
Phil : forgive me if I'm being rude....but why are you with Mikayla and John ?
Zet : you really don't know who we are don't you ?
Phil : am I supposed to ?
Kipo : we are the special guests.
Zet and Kipo then showed their powers to Phil.
Zet : we're like Niora....we saved this village a bit of times.
Kipo : everyone knows us here by now....where have you been ?
Phil : as the law keeper....I'm not supposed to leave my house more than twice a week....I'm supposed to be always available to the queen and anyone that needs my judge....this is probably why I don't know who you are....excuse my ignorance.
Kipo : no no it's ok...actually your reason makes a lot of sense.
Zet : at least you know us by our names....these people know us as pink girl and yellow guy.
Phil : I'll be honest with you....these people can sometimes be dumb.....one time someone came to me to ask about a law.....he asked me if he can date the queen...and maybe she can live with him in his house.
Zet : what in the hell ?
Phil : yeah...pretty dumb.
They all started chuckling.
Phil : alright...I should go....good luck up there...I don't know how....but I can tell it's your first time doing this.
Kipo : you are absolutely right.
Phil left.
Zet : huh....a good small change of the atmosphere here.
Kipo : yeah....let's just hope it doesn't stay like this.
John : Kipo....Zet.....we're all ready...let's go.
Kipo and Zet then followed John, they went on a big balcony.
John : ok...here's where we all be....all you have to do is stand over there.
Kipo : ok.
Mikayla then came in with Phil.
Phil : is everyone ready ?
John : yes....you can start.
Phil : alright....Zet.
Zet : hm ?
Phil : there is a big bell on top of the building....give it a good shake.
Zet then flew up and started ringing the bell, the villagers heard it.
Kipo : is this how you call everyone ?
Phil : yes....this bell is how we let everyone know that the royalty has an announcement to make.
People started appearing in front of the main building, many people came, almost the whole village.
Kipo looked at the crowd, she saw Jamil, Roza, Karen and Ron, she waved for them, they saw her and waved back.
Zet then came back down.
Phil : alright....Mikayla ?....it's your time.
Mikayla then walked forward and stood on a step so everyone in the crowd can see her.
Mikayla : welcome everyone....as you may know....I'm princess Mikayla....we've gathered you all here today to make an important announcement.....but first....I would like you to meet our guests of honor....Kipo...the animal wonderkid....and her boyfriend Zet...the lightning wonderkid.
Kipo and Zet then came closer to Mikayla, they started waving at the crowd as they were clapping for them.
Mikayla : a month ago....these two came to Huslia as visitors....they made friends here through their kindness to us and through bravery....and soon....they will have to leave to save more parts of the worlds as heroes of this village.....so...on behalf of all of Huslia....we thank you...for coming to our village.
Mikayla, John and everyone started clapping loudly and cheering them.
Kipo nodded to Mikayla with a smile.
Kipo : thank you.
Mikayla nodded back, she then looked back at the crowd as Kipo and Zet stepped back.
Mikayla : and now...I'm sure you're all wondering....where is queen Niora ?....isn't she a hero too ?....yes...I'm very sad to announce that....4 days ago...Niora Evaline....the queen....my sister....have died in order to protect us from all from the white wolves attacks.
The crowd gasped, they were all shocked, Mikayla started tearing.
Mikayla : she sacrificed her life....in order to end all these brutal attacks once and for all....I'm asking from you all now....to have a moment of silence....in grief on her soul.
The crowd all stopped, Mikayla was looking at the ground in front of her, Kipo was confused, she moved closer to Mikayla, but Zet stopped her, she looked at him, he whispered to her.
Zet : 6 O'clock sharp....third building.
Kipo then looked where he told her, she saw someone with a cape sitting on top of a building, it was Niora, She then moved back next to Zet.
Moments have passed, Mikayla came back on the step.
Mikayla : she will have her own statue built and put in front of this building, the great queen.....the brave hero....and my own caring sister.....hope you are in a better place....I'm forever lucky to have you.
Mikayla started crying, her speech is done, she moved back while Phil and John moved forward.
Phil : as of the unfortunate events of queen Niora's death occurred....Mikayla Evaline....will now take her place....as the queen of Huslia....and as Niora's last act of authority....rule number 6922 that says..."a royalty, king or queen, are not allowed to have any physical or emotional interaction with the non-royalty. They are only eligible to date and or marry another royalty" has officially been removed from the rule book....and therefore....John Albert Barnett....has been chosen by queen Mikayla....to be her King.
Mikayla then stepped up next to John.
Phil : Mikayla Evaline Roysecton....do you willingly and with the full mind power accept John Albert Barnett.....as your king ?
Mikayla : I do.
Phil then grabbed 2 crowns and put them on their heads while he spoke.
Phil : as the official law Keeper.....I announce you...Mikayla and John....the King and the queen of Huslia.
Everyone started clapping for them.
After Minutes of cheering from the crowd, Mikayla stayed while John and Phil moved back.
Mikayla : thank you all for being here....may I be a good enough queen to you....but I know....that I will never be better than her....may she rest in peace.
The ceremony has ended, They then entered the building while the villagers left.
once they entered, Kipo hugged Mikayla.
Kipo : that was amazing Mikayla.
Mikayla : I'm never going to let her name go as the traitor of Huslia....she deserves better than this....might as well make her the greatest hero in this village's history.
Phil : well....that means that I have no work to do....I had to let every village know about her treason....but now I don't have anything to do....thanks to you.....she'd be proud of you....and very thankful.
Zet : actually....I have an Idea....come on....follow me.
Mikayla, John and Kipo followed Zet to the deserted part of the village, where no one goes, they were alone.
They were all confused.
John : why are we here ?
Zet then sat on the ground, he closed his eyes and started breathing slowly, the silence filled the atmosphere, after moments, Zet got up and shot a lightning strike in the sky.
Zet : there we go.
Kipo : what ?....why did ....
Zet : in 3....2....1...
Niora then came from the skies and landed in front of them, she took off her cape and moved toward Mikayla.
Niora : hey....
Mikayla : hey....
Niora then hugged Mikayla tight, she started crying.
Niora : you're right....I don't know how much I mean to you....what you did to me today is better than anything I ever did to you....I don't know what did I do to deserve you.
Mikayla cried, and for the first time in 4 days, she smiled.
Mikayla : it took me a while....but now I understand why you did it....you were the only thing that's stopping me from becoming the queen.....and I was your solution to have a normal life.....we all strive for making our life better....and sometimes.....if you want to get....you have to give first....it's something I learned from you.
Niora chuckled.
Niora : I promise you that I will fight every day to end this war....just to see you again.....nothing will stop me from coming back to you one day.
Kipo was tearing in the back, Zet saw her, he hugged her.
Mikayla : I know you will....you can come here to see me whenever you want....I'll always be here for you.....we're sisters....If we ever need someone....it will be each other.
Niora smiled.
Niora : thank you.
Niora then stepped back and kneeled on the ground.
Niora : queen Mikayla.
Mikayla then saw Zet and Kipo kneeling to her too.
Zet : it is true that you became the queen because of Niora.....but in fact....you were always the queen Huslia needed.
Niora then got up.
Niora : I'm proud to call you the queen....and thankful to call you my sister.
Mikayla chuckled with happiness as the tears were still in her eyes, John then came closer.
John : and I guess I couldn't be luckier to call you my girlfriend.
John then kissed Mikayla on her head.
Niora : take care of her....King John.
John : I will.
Niora : alright...I should leave before anyone sees us....Zet....I'll be in the deserted village....call me when you're ready to go.
Zet nodded, Niora then looked at Mikayla.
Niora : goodbye...Mikayla.
Niora was about to fly up, but before she did.
Mikayla : wait.
Niora stooped, Mikayla then hugged her.
Mikayla : come back safe to me....I'll be waiting for you.
Niora hugged her and kissed her on her head.
Niora : I will....take care of this village....they need their real queen.
Mikayla : goodbye....wonderkid Niora.
Niora then took her position to fly.
Niora : oh yeah...and one more thing...I love you.
Mikayla smiled.
Mikayla : I love you too.
Niora then launched herself into the sky and silently hid behind the clouds as she left the village, once and forever.
Mikayla then looked at Zet with a smile.
Mikayla : thank you.
Zet : no problem....it's an honor to help you....queen Mikayla.
Mikayla then looked at John.
Mikayla : come on....we have a whole village to take care of.
John then grabbed Mikayla's hand as they left to the main building.
Kipo then hugged Zet.
Kipo : how did you do that ?!
Zet : remember a while ago....when I got captured by the gorilla guards ?
Kipo : yeah.
Zet : you came and saved me....after a while...I started wondering....how the hell did you know I was knocked out ?
Kipo : I don't know....I just...felt you.
Zet : well....it turns out that all wonderkids are connected together.....we can call each other in times of need....but for me personally...I was only able to do this on close distances....so I called Niora here....thought I'd need this skill one day.
Kipo then kissed him.
Kipo : I don't know If I ever told you this...but you're amazing when you want to be a good guy.
Zet chuckled.
Zet : come on...let's go ready up to leave....Niora is waiting for us.
Kipo and Zet headed back to their tent, it's time for them to leave, they started packing their stuff.
Kipo : finally....we're going back.
Zet : I knew you didn't like this place.
Kipo : what ?....no I love this place....but I miss my dad and Sarah.
Zet chuckled.
Zet : I know...I'm just messing with you.
Kipo : yeah....really funny.....do you miss Sarah ?
Zet : I'll be honest here and say no....I lived with and without her before....I don't really know how to miss people that are usually not dead.
Kipo : one day you'll miss me because you had to go on a mission without me.
Zet : no no you're not included in this....I literally miss you if you go talk to Karen without me.
Kipo : again...you're bad at flirting.
Zet : you know what ?....fine....I'll stop.
Kipo : you're bad....but I didn't say I don't like them.
Zet : alright alright...I'm trying one more time...If this works....I'll keep doing it.....if it doesn't I'll stop.
Kipo : sure.
Zet : ok...here we go....hey....can I borrow a kiss ?.....I swear I'll give it back.
Kipo : oh yeah...this one is really good.
Zet : yessss....
Kipo : let me guess....this is not yours.
Zet : pfft....of course it is.
Kipo : Zet ?...
Zet : it's John's....
Kipo started laughing.
Kipo : hey....the good thing is that you're trying....that's cute.
Zet : this is like you're giving me a participation award to make me feel better.
Kipo : ok...I want to make a deal with you.
Zet : what do you got ?
Kipo : I teach you how to flirt....and you teach me how to talk sign language.
Zet : how are you going to teach me how to flirt ?....I'm flirting with you.
Kipo : who knows....maybe you'll end up with someone else.
Zet : don't worry....I'm not going to....it's you or no one.
Kipo : not workiiing....
Zet : damnit...
They started laughing.
Zet : not but seriously....I'm dating you...or no one.
Kipo : so do we have a deal ?
Zet : no....I will not learn how to flirt from the same girl I'm trying to flirt with....but ok....I'm teaching you sign language.
Kipo : no...I want to do you something in return.
Zet : what do you know that I don't....but something I'm interested in.
Kipo : ok.....do you like stars ?
Zet : of course I do....who doesn't enjoy looking at the stars in the night.
Kipo : I can teach you about them.
Zet : you know what....sure.....you can teach me about stars.....I actually forgot that you're sort of an astronomy scientist.
Kipo : deal...you'll know so much about space.
After minutes, Kipo and Zet changed their clothes and finished packing.
Zet : alright...I'm done....ready ?
Kipo : yeah...let's go.
Kipo and Zet got out of the tent, everyone was outside, Kipo saw them.
Mikayla, Roza, Jamil, John, Ron and Karen were waiting for them, they all know that they are leaving.
Kipo : hi guys.
Roza : hi honey....we figured that you are leaving now after the ceremony....so we came to say goodbye.
Mikayla : you two did a lot for us all.....you made me the queen.
John : and made me the king.
Jamil : and made us royal dressers.
Ron : and made me and Karen healers.
Mikayla : not to mention the others that are not here....the point of what we're trying to say....thank you....for all what you've done....you made all our lives better.
Kipo then started tearing as she rushed to hug them all together.
Kipo : you guys....we're going to miss you all.
John then stood in front of Zet and stared into his eyes, he looked back at him, moments have passed, John hugged him.
John : thank you....teacher Zet....I'm a better and a stronger person because of you....I don't know how to thank you for what you've done.
Zet : in fact....there is a way you can.
John : name anything.
Zet : show me that I didn't waste my time on you.....and rule Huslia as a great king.
John : I will do whatever I can to be the king this village needs.
Zet smiled.
Zet : good....I will come back one day....you better not be dead....I'm starting to like you.
John chuckled.
John : well....I guess that's a big achievement...I made Zet like me.
Kipo then called Aya, after moments, she landed in front of them.
Zet then moved towards Karen, she smiled at him, he started talking to her in sign language.
Zet : hey Karen.
Karen : hey.
Zet : I want to tell you something.
Karen : of course.
Zet : I love you....mother.
He then hugged her, Karen started tearing as she hugged him back.
Karen : I'll miss you son....it's been great having you here...I don't know if I ever told you this before....but I've never been prouder of you....I'm glad that I was the one to raise you.
Zet : will I see in the soul world ?
Karen : always.
Karen then looked at Ron.
Karen : take care of each other....you need each other to stay alive....my two sons.
Ron : we will.
Ron hugged Karen, while Zet got on Aya's back.
Kipo was with Roza and Jamil.
Kipo : thank you guys....you were the reason our first date was successful.
Jamil : aw come on....no we weren't...it's you together that made it.....you look amazing together.
Roza : yes honey....keep each other safe....you deserve him.....and he deserves you.
Roza then came very close to whisper in her ear.
Roza : and maybe....one day... I'll make a wedding dress...who knows.
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : maybe...
Kipo got on Aya's back, Ron then followed her.
Kipo : goodbye everyone....we will miss you.
Everyone started waving to them.
Mikayla : goodbye....stay safe.
Aya started flapping her wings, she flew up in the sky and headed to Niora, they are finally out of Huslia.
Kipo sighed.
Kipo : man...I'll miss these guys.....they are good people.
Zet : you know that we will do this like 4 more times right ?
Kipo : what do you mean ?
Zet : we're going to 4 more countries.....and we're going to meet more people....it's going to get annoying to you to get attached to everyone.
Kipo : hey....mind your feelings....I'm going to miss anyone we ever meet.
Zet chuckled.
Zet : of course you are....this is why I love you.
Kipo : isn't it because I'm cute ?
Zet : do you want me to go through the whole list of why I love you ?
Kipo : no no....I will end up shining pink....I got your point.
Aya reached the village Niora was in, Zet then shot a lightning strike in the sky, after moments, Niora showed up.
Niora : are we ready ?
Kipo : yes....hop on.
Niora then got on Aya's back.
Zet : alright....make yourself comfortable.....this will take a while.
Niora then saw Ron.
Niora : Ron ?....what are you doing here ?
Ron : I'm your healer now....or in another way to say this....your portable Karen.
Zet laughed.
Kipo : oh yeah....we forgot to tell you.
Niora : glad to have you on....you'll do good with us.
Niora then looked at Kipo as she sat next to Zet.
Niora : so how long are we going to take ?
Zet : about a day.
Kipo : it's ok.....we're not in a rush....are you excited ?
Niora : very...I'll finally have my own life.
Zet : well...I hope you know that it's not going to be that fun.
Niora : huh ?
Zet : you're going to have your own life yes....but it's going to be hard....you're going to war.
Kipo : yeah...our life is fun but it's pretty dangerous....we can literally die at any moment.
Niora : did you two forget that I'm a warrior ?....fighting is a part of my life as much as it is for you.
Zet : you know what....sure...let's see how well will you do.
Kipo : but if you need any help...we're here with you....all of us....don't hesitate to ask.
Ron : alright....since we're staying up here for a while....why don't we play a small game ?
Zet : sure...what do you got ?
Ron : I have a lot of bottles with me....up for a truth or dare game ?
Kipo : oh yeah...this is going to be fun....I'm in.
Zet : yeah sure....I'm in too.
Niora : me too...let's go.
Ron : ok...here we go.
Ron spun the bottle, it landed at him with the top, and Kipo at the end.
Kipo : it's me and you.
Ron : truth or dare ?
Kipo : um....truth.
Ron : ok....so before I continue....how personal are the questions are allowed to be ?
Zet : it's ok....we're living together....personal questions are fine.
Ron : ok....Kipo....who was the first person you had a crush on ?
Kipo : easy....it was a kid in my school like 3 years ago....he was cute and was the kid that plays sport all the time....so I wasn't the only one who had a crush on him....but I did have a huuuge crush on him.
Ron : alright....going again.
The bottle landed on Kipo top and Niora end.
Kipo : truth or dare ?
Niora : truth.
Kipo : Ron's question made me wonder....have you ever had a crush on anyone ?
Niora : well....mostly no....it's just that one girl I saw like a year ago...she was cute....blond hair....green eyes and looking good....but of course....I couldn't do anything about it....imagine the queen walking up to one of her people to tell her that she's cute.
Zet : I actually had the same exact situation before.....in the temple....the first time I saw Kate...I wanted to walk up to her because I had a crush on her....but just like you....I wasn't allowed to talk to her because I was her own future lord.
Niora : a crush ?....wasn't she your best friend ?
Zet : yeah....it was a crush....but it ended up as a friendship....I'm taking it.
Kipo : oh my god....do you two have anything not in common ?
Niora : I think we established this before.....I'm Zet but a lesbian girl.....and he's me but an ace guy.
Zet : yup.
Kipo : I guess that makes you twins.
Niora and Zet : no....shut up.
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : you're even in sync.....at this point....I'm sure that if you weren't a lesbian you'd be together.
Ron : the lighting and the wind wonderkids together.....the name even fits.
Zet : no...we're not ending up together....shut up you two.
Kipo : and you're the same age too...
Zet and Niora : Kipo....that's enough.
Zet and Niora looked at each other and smiled.
Zet : we're going to do this a lot aren't we ?
Niora : too many times.
They fist pumped.
Ron : again we go.
The bottle landed on Zet end and Ron top.
Ron : truth or dare ?
Zet : I'm never going to say the truth....so dare.
Ron : ok....um...I don't know....what does Zet feel very uncomfortable doing ?
Zet : good luck finding something...I'm a warrior....this is how I live.
Kipo : I know something....
Zet : no no no !.....Ron only....you're not allowed to say anything !
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : the music player....
Zet : damnit Kipo !
Zet then looked at Ron, he was smiling at him.
Zet : ok Ron....let's be reasonable about this....you don't want to do this....me neither.
Niora and Kipo started chuckling.
Ron : ok ok....I dare you...to throw the music player and wait 10 seconds before you get it again.
Zet : absolutely no....I'm not going to do this.
Niora : aww...little Zet can't let his music player go for 10 seconds ?.....that's cute.
Zet : yes...I'm not going to do it....you have no idea how much this player means to me.
Kipo : what does mean more to you.....me or the music player ?
Zet : you.
Kipo : ok then....give it to me.
Zet gave his music player to Kipo.
Kipo : so....if I throw it myself....would I still be alive ?
Zet : Kipo....please don't....it can get lost in the snow.
Kipo : so I will be alive....good.
Kipo raised her arm above the air while holding the music player, nothing was under her arm.
Zet : Kipo ?.....I know you are in a good mood today...but please don't.
Kipo removed her arm.
Kipo : ok ok...you know what...fine...I won't...but your dare is going to let Niora use it the whole trip.
Zet : and if I say no ?
Kipo : wow.....you're still confident.
Kipo put her arm back in the air.
Zet : ok ok ok....just give it to her already.
Kipo gave the music player to Niora.
Niora : thanks....I like this music.
Zet then sat back next to Kipo.
Zet : but why did you do this ?
Kipo : to make you choose truth....I know you'd never choose truth....now you'd never choose dare.
Zet stared at Kipo.
Zet : did you just manipulate me ?
Kipo : um hm....it wasn't too hard when you learn from the best.....I know you too well....so now I can do this to you.
Zet : um....did I tell you before how much I love you ?
Kipo chuckled.
Kipo : yes...you did.
Ron spun the bottle again, it landed on Niora top and Ron end.
Ron : alright....go ahead Niora.
Niora : so I'm pretty sure we all had this question to ask you....if Karen is your grandmother....who's your parents ?
Ron : I don't know....she never talked about it....I remember asking her once....but she didn't answer...so I figured that she doesn't want to talk about it.
Zet : then I'm guessing whoever they are.....they are probably bad guys or have a story she doesn't want you to know about them.
Ron : honestly....I don't care....I don't want to know who they are anyway....I'm fine like this....I don't want any drama.
Niora : huh.....good choice.
The bottle landed on Zet top and Kipo end.
Zet : well well well.....look how the tables have turned....I'm pretty sure you'd choose truth.
Kipo : yup....go ahead....I have nothing to hide from my own boyfriend.
Zet : are you sure ?
Kipo : yeah.
Zet : so....the first time we met....with the giant snake....what was your first thought about me ?
Kipo : before you killed it or not ?
Zet : after I killed it....when I wanted to shake your hand but Sarah stopped me.
Kipo : ok....so honestly...the first thing I thought about is that you're cute....but then I was amazed by your powers.
Zet : and let me guess....this is when you started crushing on me ?
Kipo : what? pfft...no.
Zet : you said you had nothing to hide from me.
Niora : is there something you didn't talk about before ?
Zet : so....one day I was sitting on a tree minding my own business.
Kipo : Zet...no....please don't tell this story.
Zet : what did I tell you before....you don't mess with me and get away with it.
Kipo : ok ok....I'll give you the music player back.
Zet : hmm.....let me think.....no.....too late.
Kipo : oh no.
Kipo put her hands on her face and had no choice but to listen.
Zet : as I was saying....I was alone listening to music.....she then climbed the tree and sat next to me....
Kipo sighed, her face was turning red.
Zet : so I don't remember what she asked me....but it ended up with her slowly crawling on me....I really became so uncomfortable...
Kipo's face was turning even more red.
Zet : she then kissed me....we weren't together at all...she just kissed me....and now she says that she didn't have a crush on me.
Kipo was cowered in her legs listening.
Niora : aw....look at her...she looks like a tomato.
Zet : yeah she does that from time to time.
Ron : of course she does....from her perspective this is pretty embarrassing.
Kipo : ok you know what.....maybe I had a crush on you...
Zet : maybe ?
Kipo : ok I had a crush on you....but I know that you liked me too.
Zet : of course I did....and a lot....but that's literally everyone....you're just someone everyone likes....and I was that one to end up falling in love with you.
Kipo : no I mean that you had a crush on me too.
Zet : an ace had a crush....don't you think this doesn't make much sense?
Kipo : I....
Kipo sighed.
Kipo : fine....I had a crush on you because of how much you did for me before we even knew each other more than just names....you just liked me at first because I look like Kate.
Zet : I liked you because you had and still have an amazing personality....I didn't care much about how you look....even if you didn't look like Kate....I'd still be with you.....plus....I was glad to find out that Sarah made a friend.....she doesn't really know how to do that.
Kipo : you know what....at the end...we're together now....you love me....I love you.....Ron please spin the damn bottle.
Zet chuckled.
Zet : learned your lesson ?
Kipo : which one....I have a lot.
Zet : I love revenge.
Ron spun the bottle, it landed on Kipo top and Niora end.
Niora : alright....I choose truth.
Kipo : um...what is your phobia ?
Niora : I think I'm really scared of bugs.
Zet : bugs ?
Niora : well not like small normal bugs.....I'm talking big annoying or dangerous bugs....I can't stand them.....though that makes me wonder....what's yours ?
Kipo : I'm scared of bugs too....and I recently discovered that I have a fear of heights.
Zet : drowning and small places.
Niora : wait wait...so you don't swim ?
Zet : no....I don't swim.....I can....but I don't.
Ron : and mine is dogs.....I'm way too scared of them.
Kipo : hey...I'm right here.
Ron : you look like a girl right now...I'm not scared of this.
Zet : ok....one more spin...I suggest you sleep here....you'll need to rest soon.
Niora : it's still 5PM....why ?
Kipo : nothing too interesting...but we usually are awake at the night more than the morning.
Ron spun the bottle, it landed on Niora top and Zet end.
Zet : ok....truth.
Niora : honestly I don't know what to ask you...um....what's you're weak point ?
Zet : I'd say it's right here sitting next to me....that's why I protect it with my life.
Kipo : remember that you're the one who said to not get too attached to people....and when I asked you why.....you said so they don't become your weak point....look at you now.
Zet : well....I mean....I can't help it can I ?.....this is how it's going to end up anyway.....in fact...forget what I said....and here's a new saying.....if your weak point is not a person.....this means that your weak point is not worthy.....you can live without things....but you wouldn't want to live without your loved one.
Ron chuckled.
Ron : says the guy who's attached to a music player.
Kipo and Niora laughed.
Zet : ok ok.....I know I'm very possessive....but this is because I don't like to share and I don't trust people with my stuff....and especially the rarest thing I have....this music player is like 250 years old...I'm not letting it go away from me that easily.
Kipo : so if I took your stuff...would you...
Zet : before you continue....no....you're the only exception I have in my life....anything I say or do is not applied to you....If I say that I would kill someone to get something I really want...you're not included.
Niora : alright....I guess this concludes the game.
Ron : yeah....it's fun to know about each other.
Kipo : ok....now go to sleep if you can....we should be waking up there.
Niora : is Aya going to be ok ?....can she go on the whole trip ?
Kipo : let me ask her.
Kipo then got up and put her head next to Aya's head.
Kipo : hey....can you fly all the way ?....or do you need to stop to rest ?
Aya made a noise of disagreement.
Kipo : it's ok....you can land wherever you want here.
Kipo then came back to her group.
Kipo : she says that she needs to rest....she can rest now and we'll continue later.
Zet : alright.....land here before we get to the mountain chain.
Aya then headed down and landed on the snow, they all got off, Kipo then moved to her head.
Kipo : are you hungry ?
Aya agreed.
Kipo : ok...I'll get you some food.
Zet : we'll set camp here....we have one tent that can have 2 people in it....so who wants to get in ?
Niora : I think Ron should sleep inside....he won't last too long in this weather.
Ron : what about you guys ?
Niora : I live here....it's ok.
Kipo : but still....you need to sleep inside too....I have fur....and Zet can heat himself.....you and Ron sleep inside....we'll be outside.
Niora : you didn't tell me you can heat yourself.
Zet : what....did you think lightning is cold ?
Kipo then checked her bag, she didn't find any food for Aya.
Kipo : um....Zet ?....did you get any food for Aya ?
Zet : no....I thought you did.
Ron : wow....you're bad at having a pet huh.
Kipo : we...we forgot Aya's food...
Niora : alright...Zet ?....let's go hunt ?
Zet : no...I'm going on my own.
Kipo : absolutely not....you're not going alone....we discussed this.
Zet : do you have a better idea ?....she needs to eat and I'm not hunting fish with Niora.
Niora : I'll see if there's a lake nearby.
Niora flew up into the sky and started looking for a lake.
Kipo : you're not going alone....we agreed that you won't go on your own again haven't we ?
Zet : we did....but I'm not going with Niora to hunt some fish under a lake.....I'm guessing you know why.
Kipo : I can go with you.
Zet : we both know how it's going to end if you come with me.....no.
Kipo : you know what....fine...take Ron.
Zet : that doesn't make it any better.
Kipo : ok then....you're not going....I'll go with Niora....she can hunt too.
Zet : look...I don't want to go alone too ok ?.....but in this one in a thousand situations....I have to.
Niora landed back.
Niora : there is a lake nearby....is there a problem ?
Kipo : he's not going alone....last time he did this he ended up dead.
Niora : Zet...sit down...I'm going to get her food myself.
Kipo : and I'm going with her....but you are NOT going alone.
Zet : fine...go ahead....you just saved me some work to do anyway.
Kipo : you'll be safe here.
Zet : ok look....don't think that you'll be fine if Sanji showed up....if he does....just run away.....he's way stronger than us.
Niora : yeah yeah sure....let's go.
Niora walked away, but Kipo came back to Zet.
Kipo : hey....it's ok....we'll be fine....she needs to eat.
Kipo then kissed him on his cheek.
Zet : just stay safe....please.
Kipo : relax....we're wonderkids too....you're not the only fighter here.
Zet : yeah....and I was the one found dead right ?....just be careful....we can not let that guy know where we are.
Kipo and Niora then left to get Aya food to eat from the lake near them.
