Star Fairy Chronicles III

Timeline X5: Bravery

The next timeline started off rather different. Instead of being treated like princesses, the two girls were feared by the people. Rosie had placed several Beware and Wanted posters of them around town.

"Friends?" Henry asked as the two princesses approached him, "No, I'm not friends with your type." He walked away slowly and then began to run. Gray clouds of Fear and Hatred loomed upon them.

"So this is what it feels like to be feared and hated," Willow said coldly, "What shall we do about it?"

"We have to tell someone about it," Penelope said, "Someone who isn't afraid of us. And I think I know just who we can talk to. He's going on a date with Elizabeth this afternoon. We can get him then and even get Elizabeth to confess."

"Where are they meeting?" Willow asked.

"At Bravarian Park in the Forest of Bravery," Penelope answered, "I should know because I checked her calendar this morning." The two of them looked at each other and saw the hatred in each other's eyes.

"We will get our revenge on Rosie," Willow said, "Though it's kind of your fault."

...

Later that day, the two of them saw Elizabeth sitting down on a bench at Bravarian Park wearing a spring dress and holding a little gift box. They approached her with lowered eyebrows and frowns on their faces. Penelope summoned a knife and pointed it at her chest. Elizabeth began to shiver with fear.

"Alright sister!" she snapped, "Tell us what Rosie is planning to do next!"

"Why does everyone her hate us?" Willow asked her, "Why are we feared by them?!"

"I don't know..." Elizabeth said nervously, "She wasn't supposed to do this. She only wanted the best for the both of you, but you pushed her too far and now she's on her way to becoming a corrupted power-hungry tyrant. But please, leave me out of this."

"Why should we?" Penelope asked, "You're her assistant. You should be guilty of influencing those actions."

"What are you talking about?!" Elizabeth asked. Emile then approached them. He was wearing a gray tuxedo and holding a bouquet of yellow and orange flowers.

"I know that I'm charming," he said, "But you don't need to fight over me about it."

"What?!" Penelope said, "No! That's not at all what we're doing."

"You sure about that?" Emile asked, "Most girls would beg me to go out with them. Some of them even keep pictures of me."

"Why would anyone want to do that?" Penelope asked as she put the knife away, "That's absurd and ridiculous."

"Because I'm a handsome guy," Emile said boldly. Willow and Penelope both raised an eyebrow.

"Why aren't you afraid of us?" Willow asked as she approached him slowly, "Are you aware of who we are?"

"You mean like how you're on Beware and Wanted posters all around town?" Emile asked, "I'm very aware of who you are, but I'm not afraid of you. I have no need to be afraid of two cute princesses." Penelope and Willow began to blush.

"Wait, what?" Penelope said, "You think we're cute? Never mind. We need to speak to you."

"Tell me later today," Emile said, "I have a date with Elizabeth now." He then turned to Elizabeth.

"These flowers are to symbolize our love," he said, "Orange for me, and yellow for you. I can't wait to see what's in the little gift box you got me." The two of them then walked away.

"That was so embarrassing," Penelope said, feeling flustered, "Did you see the look on his face? He showed no fear towards us, and worst of all, he called me cute. I ought to give him a piece of my mind!"
