The Prince and his Guard

Bowmans Scrap Warehouse

"Are you positive you don't want me to fight in place?" I questioned.
"I'm sure Anna. I need to know I can do this." He told before moving onto the platform.
'Oh boy. I feel that this is going to go completely wrong.'
His back was now towards the crowd and Scott was across from him. Suzie stood in the middle with the bucket and microphone.
'Please do not die. I do not know how to explain it to our families you died because of towel fighting.'
"Ladies and gentlemen, in this corner, the undisputed towel-snapping champion of Plainview Public, Scott Spitzak!" Suzie said into the microphone causing everyone to boo.
'You can do this Emil.'
"And in this corner, the challenger, who tried to kiss me earlier but I said, 'no way', Emil Pulkow!"
"Actually you tried to kiss him and he said no!" I exclaimed but she acted like she didn't hear it.
"Rules are simple." Scott started taking over "No rules! We just hit each other with towels 'till someone falls off."
"So, two rules."
"Gentlemen, wet your towels." Suzie told
Emil grabbed his towel from his bag and headed to the bucket.
'I knew I should have helped him pick a towel.'
"Ooh! He went fluffy. Rookie mistake. Good for a spa, bad for a towel fight."
Scott gave a smile before he made his way to his bag.
"Now say hello to my extra-long friend." He told as he pulled his long towel out making everyone gasp.
"Holy Spitzak!" Suzie said out of shock.
He snapped his towel near Emil, making him jump back a little bit.
"Emil are you sure about this? It's not too late for me to deal with this." I informed making him turn towards me.
"I need to do this."
"Just don't die. I don't know how to explain this to our family." I told making him give me a small smile.
"I can not promise that. But I'll try for you." He told as he quickly gave me a kiss of the forehead before turning back to Spitzak.
'Ever since coming here, he has taken to kissing my head more then he used to.'
"And three, two, one....warehouse towel fight." Suzie told before she grabbed the bucket and ran off the platform as the bell dinged.
"Come on! Take your best shot."
"Eat terry cloth!" He shouted before taking a shot at Scott only for him to not move a muscle.
"Feels like being kissed by a bunny."
'Why does he know that?'
"Now dance, dill-rod!" He shouted as he took shots at his feet.
Scott got some hits on Emil before he got an angry look on his face.
'Come on Emil."
Emil charges his hits on Scott only to have them each be his away with his own towel until Emil was hit on the chest.
"This is fun. I'm having fun." He said as he let out a chuckle.
He then flung his an attack towards Emil only for it to be dodged. He fires back with his own attacks but Scott did one of his signature moves and de-troweled Emil leaving him weaponless. Scott hit the ground on both sides of Emil before he hit him on the chest, making him try not to fall back into the crowd.
'No!'
"Sweet dreams, loser." He said as he ready his attack and Emil looked at me.
"Stay strong, Emil!" Suzie shouted.
'I need to do something.....'
"EMIL, REMEMBER WHAT ALEXANDER DID WHEN HIM AND JOOSEP WERE MESSING ABOUT!" I exclaimed.
He looked back at Spitzak as he flung the final blow towards Emil only for him to grab the end of his towel, and moved to grab more of it making the crowed go whoa.
'He's doing it!'
"Dude, let go of my towel!"
"No, you let go."
Spitzak pulled the towel again which allowed Emil to move out of the position he was in. He took a few steps before he quickly went down on one knee and used the force to drag Scott off the platform.
'He did it!'
The crowd cheered for Emil and I ran over to him, jumping into his arms. He spun me around a couple of times before placing me back down onto the platform with his back facing everyone.
"You actually did it Emil."
"Of course. Because you believed in me."
"Oh no I had serious doubts. I thought you were going to die and was preparing for my own death once we went home."
"Really?"
"Never mind that. You won!" I told giving him another hug.
"Shall we get their money back now?" He asked making me pull away from him and nod.
"We shall."
We walked off the platform and everyone was finally done cheering to rush over towards us, but Suzie was the closest to the two of us.
"You beat Spitzak. You're our hero." Suzie told
Emil smiled before becoming confused when Susie gave Emil on the cheek and made me get annoyed that she had done that.
"Eh, no sparks." She said before moving away.
"She didn't just do that?" I whispered as I continued to be shocked from what happened.
"She did."
"Those trouts are gonna be jealous."
"I wish I could live that down."
"Can always order me to stop."
"Really?"
"No. It would be the one order I do not listen to." I told making him sigh.
He turned around and looked over at Scott who was finally getting up from where he landed. He walked over towards us with an annoyed look on his face.
"Alright, Spitzak, it is time to give everybody their money back."
"Uh yeah, I got the money right here." He told as he began to put his hand in his pocket before pulling out his fist. "Not happening! None of you are getting any of your money back. And there's nothing you can do about it!"
"Or is there?" Someone said that was hidden.
The crowd parted to reveal Teddy standing there with a controller.
"Teddy?" Me and Emil questioned once we realised it was him.
"Nice work, Emil. But I knew Spitzak would go back on his word. So, I came up with a plan. Because my mommy told me I'm the smartest boy she knows!" He told making everyone confused.
I gave him a blank look before I began to laugh my head off, which would have been the first time anyone but Emil have seen this side of me.
"Teddy you did not think how that sounded did you?!" I said before laughing more
"Yeah, that sounded way cooler in my head. Check and mate." He said before pressing the green button which made Spitzaks bike lower down over a vat of melted cheese.
"Not my mud-flinger!"
"Teddy, what are you doing?" Emil asked.
"Something I should've done a lone time ago. If you don't give us our money back, I'm hitting green. I hope you like dirk bike fondue." He said as he began to go press the button."
"No n-no, fon-don't! Just stop being so mean for a second!" He exclaimed making me get mad.
"That's it!" I added before quickly grabbing him arm and bent it so he would fall to his knees in pain, and grabbed his other arm and pulled up for more pain.
"Damn!" Everyone but Emil exclaimed causing them to look at him.
"Anna is a very skilled and trained fighter. Has been from a young age." He told.
"What are you going to do?" I questioned before causing some more pain making him speak up.
"I'll send you all your money right now. Gosh!" He told making me let go so he could grab his phone and clicking a few things.
Everyone's phones began to ring and chime letting us know that their money was coming in. People began to say they got theirs. Scott ran over to his bike and got a smile on his face.
"It's okay, baby. Did that big bad bully hurt you?"
The crowd moved away from us as they were all checking to see if everyone got paid.
"I'm proud of you, Teddy." Emil told.
"It was very brave of you to do this." I added going back to my usual stance.
"Thanks guys. Guess all I had to do was listen to your advice. Especially since Ann is so terrifying when she so chooses." He told.
"It's how I was raise." I told.
"Oh group hug!" Emil said before wrapping his arms around the both of us.
"Emil!" Both me and Teddy exclaimed before we all laughed.
"Besides man, I was just following your lead. You know, someday, you're gonna be a great king." He told making sure to whisper to last part as we all pulled away from one another.
"And someday, you are going to be a great robot." Emil told making me laugh
"We can not wait to see that." I added before we turned around to see Suzie's announcement.
"Wait, what?" Teddy asked only to not get an answer from us.
"Now back to the bowling alley for carrot sticks!" She announced making everyone cheer making me and Emil smile.
'They really do love carrot sticks.'
"Shall we Anna?" He asked as he extended his arm for me.
"We shall Emil." I told as I linked my arm with him before we both laughed at our stupidity.
We began to make our way out with everyone as Teddy stayed in his spot.
"Emil. Ann. You do know I don't actually want to be a robot, right?" He asked as he rushed after us.
'Nothing can ruin this.'
