"Damn it, Blaine, you hit her head so hard she got amnesia!" The girl exclaimed, stomping her foot on the ground.

"I'm so sorry, Dapha. Please don't forget who we are." Blaine cried, grabbing her head and rubbing it with his hand." At least there's no dent, you still have a very beautiful head." He added with a smile.

The other boy crossed his arms and spoke up." Stop being idiots, Blaine and Heidi. Dapha's always been stupid in the mornings."

"I'm not stupid in the morning, you're the stupid one for assuming so." Dapha retorted defensively, pointing her index finger at the boy.

"You're definitely stupid for telling off a royal guard!" The boy yelled back.

"He yelled first, and he almost hit me with his stupid horse. He was asking for it." Dapha responded, crossing her arms.

"Don't listen to Kasper, you're a hero Dapha!" Heidi exclaimed. "And we have to tell everyone about this!"

"I agree, let's go!" Blaine chimed in.

Blaine and Heidi quickly grabbed Dapha and led her outside the house completely, and dragged her along with them.

"Wait! She shouldn't be out in public, you know they probably added her to the black list!" Kasper shouted to empty ears as the three ran to who knows where. "Cant they see I'm looking out for her.." Kasper mumbles as he chases after them.

Blaine and Heidi pulled Dapha into an alleyway and on the other side was a small playground surrounded by the back of buildings.

"Hey, everyone! Wait till you hear what Dapha did!" Heidi shouted, drawing the attention of several kids congregating near the playground.

The group of children consisting of about fifteen kids ranging in ages from eight to sixteen gathered around Heidi, eager to hear her latest tale.

"Come on, Heidi, we know she always gets up to no good." One of the kids giggled. "What did she steal this time?"

"What, did she set something on fire?" Another kid chimed in, sparking laughter among his peers.

'Steal? Set on fire!? Just what kind of kid is Dapha?' She thought to herself in disbelief.

Heidi smirked as she was about to share the story of Dapha's bold actions. "She-"

Blaine cuts her off with a burst of laughter. "Dapha told off a royal guard!"

Heidi shoots Blaine a terrifying glare. "Did you just cut me off, Blaine?" She growls, clearly annoyed.

Blaine lets out a yelp and hides behind Dapha. "Sorry!"

"Way to go, Dapha!" A boy comes up to Dapha and slaps her back, causing her to stumble forward.

"That was hard!" Dapha exclaims, trying to regain her balance.

"You told off a guard? That's amazing, Dapha!" another kid hugs her, laughing.

"I knew you were crazy, but not that crazy!"

"Yeah crazy stupid." Kasper cuts in as he finally caught up with the group.

A girl giggles. "Tell us the story, Dapha! I'm dying to know how it happened."

As the kids join in, shouting for Dapha to tell the story, she realizes just how big her reputation is as a troublemaker. 'All this kids are looking up to me, who knew I was so popular.' She thought.

Dapha begins to explain how her morning went. The kids stared in ooh's and ah's as she explained how she told called the guard an idiot for getting in her way.
