love and war: a fireafy fanfic

chapter four: leafy

I strolled through the bustling streets of the town, I couldn't help but let my mind wander. My thoughts kept drifting back to my conversation with Firey. I had seen a different side of Firey, a side that hinted at a deeper, more complicated individual. His expression changed when I talked about his wealth. His family. His self. 

He snapped. 

A gust of wind ruffled my hair, snapping me back to the present moment.

The sun had begun its descent, casting long shadows over the cobblestone streets. I took a deep breath, letting the cool evening air fill my lungs. The town was slowly coming to life as the evening set in, the sound of laughter and music filling the air as people made their way home from work or indulged in evening leisure activities.

It's soon time for me to go.

...

"Leafy Wisteria!" Four shouts from across the hall.

"What the hell do you want?" I retort, crossing my arms.

They cross their arms over their chest and roll their eyes. "I have a mission for you."

I raise an eyebrow. "What is it?" I ask with curiosity in my voice.

"There is a restaurant named Gelatin's Stake House. In the building there is yoylelite. One of the most rarest minerals. The yoylelite has been stolen from the Goiky Museum, your job is to take the yoylelite and return it back to the musem." Four said.

 I take in the information, my expression is stoic. My mind immediately started to plan.

"Got it," I says, nodding my head. "Anything else I should know about this mission?"

"Nope, that's all the information we have. It's a simple in-and-out job, but it's important that we get that mineral back where it belongs. But, the yoylelite is placed in the middle of the restaurant for everyone to see." Four states.

I turn around and start thinking.

There are people coming in and out of the restaurant, I have to make sure that I fit in with these people. I need to grab the yoylelite, but at the same time I need to replace it with a fake. Here's the problem. I can't be caught. 

That's where Pin comes along. She's a hacker. I'll get her to take down the security cameras for a while. I'm gonna wear a long brown jacket and shove the rock and put it in my coat.

 As for the museum, I need to put my black stealth suit on. My face has to be covered. Pin will unlock the doors for the museum and take down the security cameras as well. She'll find the layout of the place and help me find where I need to return the rock.

The problem for me is the security guards, but I've dodged them many, many times.

I took a deep breath, and nodded to myself, feeling my adrenaline start to spike. I was ready for this mission.

...

The sun has set, the town is filled with chatter and lights from the inside of the buildings. I put an earring on, an earring where I can talk to Pin.

"Pin can you hear me?" I ask.

"Yup, I'm here. Already took down the security cameras for you." Pin chuckles.

I feel my adrenaline raise. I love the feeling in my chest. I love the feeling that I'm about to get caught, I love it when I'm stealing and sneaking. I love that feeling. 

I love it when I win.

I walk into the restaurant.

"Gelatin's Steak House. This place is pretty nice." I say.
