Alex Chase: Beyond The Multiverse

Chapter 35: What Makes A Princess?

" You are so dead!" Alex screamed. Zack ran through the room with my fiery girlfriend hot on his tail. And when I say fiery, I mean it literally. Her iris's were amber-yellow and burning flames replaced her naturally curled black eyelashes. I groaned.

" Goin' hero," I shouted, slapping the watch. I instantly transformed into Feedback.

" I'm going ghost!" Danny yelled.

" For the glory of Merlin, daylight is mine to command!" Jim yelled, holding up his his amulet. All three of us jumped forward and made grabs at Alex. It might seem a little extreme, but Alex could throw all three of us across the room without even breaking a sweat if she wanted to.

Zack dove behind Jazz just as she released a volley of burning lasers at him. Danny pushed Alex the the side and the magic lasers missed their target, burning several holes in the sofa.

" Hey, watch my sister!" He yelled. Alex blushed in embarrassment.

" Sorry Jazz," she called. Jazz looked petrified–staring at a lasters that had missed waist by no more then a nanometer, but she gave a thumbs up. We took the opportunity to grab Alex before she could run after Zack again.

I grabbed her left arm. Jim grabbed her right arm. Danny grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled back. You wouldn't belive how incredibly strong a timeless teenage girl is all on her own. I have absolutely no idea what kind of clueless idiot had the hairbrained idea to create the stereotype of dumb, giggly blonde girls.

The real story was nothing like the made up one. Blonde women as I know them can be described in three main qualites: They're beyond smart, way too athletic, and are incredibly scary when you make them mad.

" What did I do?" Zack cried. Alex glared at him.

" You are such a...," she started. Before she could get to cursing in different languages, Danny slapped a hand over her mouth.

" Dude! There are kids in the room!" Danny said, gesturing to Ray Ray and Hayley, who sat watching us. Alex groaned. Danny removed his hand and Alex sighed. Her eyelashes returned to normal and she calmed down the tiniest bit. We let her go and she brushed herself off, crossing her arms.

" Fine. But you are seriously a doofus, you know that right?" She asked. Zack looked at us cluelessly. Jazz facepalmed.

" You really don't know what you said to make her come after you like this?" She asked. Zack shrugged.

" All I said was that I would have a hard time believing that Alex was a princess," he said. Alex sat down on the couch of the living room, across from where Jazz was standing. Me and Danny sat down on either side of her.

" And what were your reasons for this again?"

" Because she hates everything thats considered 'girly', she doesn't wear the clothes of a princess, and she doesn't act anything like the princess's from the fairy tales," said Zack. Alex's face morphed at that statement.

Her eyelashes returned to normal. But her irises turned magenta, and cracks colored bright scarlet entered from her pupils at spread to the edge of her eyeball.

Her hands glowed dark purple, and a ball of dark energy built inside of her clenched fingers. Danny grabbed her hand and pulled it away from them. Alex took a deep breath and the energy disappeared. Then she turned to look at Danny.

" You can let go of my hand now," she said. Danny blushed in embarrassment. He gently set her hand down on her lap and sat back.

" Zack, you do realize that Alex is a princess, right?" I asked. Zack looked Alex up and down.
