The next day at school, big surprise. Cherry crosses paths with Cotton, again.
"Well, well, well. Hello, Cherry." the familiar purple guy said as he approached her.
Only things were different this time. "Back off, Cotton." Fruit warned as he got between him and Cherry. "I mean it."
"Aw, defending royals again, Fruit?" Cotton asked in a condescending tone.
"Shut it." Fruit snapped as he tried to lead Cherry away from him.
"Oh. That's not happening." Cotton said as he grabbed Fruit by the leg and pulled him to the ground.
Fruit tried to kick Cotton off with his other leg. "Get off me. That hurts."
Cherry watched and imagined the same situation in her mind, only with Fruit in his merform.
"Not gonna, Fruit." Cotton said as a light brown guy with purple and blue hair approached.
"Bro, don't you know that's Prince Popsicle's best friend?" the guy asked as Cotton, Fruit and Cherry all turned towards him. "I'd get off him if I were you."
"I'm not afraid of the prince." Cotton said. "He, he."
"You should be." Popsicle said as appeared right behind him.
Cotton quickly turned around. "Your highness, hi."
"Are you hurting my best friend, Cotton Candy?" Popsicle asked as he glared at him.
"Um." Cotton said to afraid to speak.
"Answer me." Popsicle commanded.
Cotton swallowed. "Uh, yes."
"Leave my best friend and my sister, alone." Popsicle said. "Or you'll answer to me, got it?"
"Ye, yes, your majesty." Cotton replied, nervously as he got off of Fruit before running in the opposite direction.
"Thanks for the help, Tart." Popsicle said as he patted Tart on the back.
"Your welcome, your highness." Tart replied. "Glad I could help." Tart thought for a moment. "Oh, next time you see Prince Solar, tell him I said hi."
Popsicle shrugged. "Ok."
Tart walked away as Popsicle helped Fruit to his feet.
"Are you ok, Fruit?" Popsicle asked, checking him for signs of injury.
"I'm good." Fruit replied as he winced. "He just grabbed my leg and now it's a little sore."
"Alright." Popsicle said as he walked down the hall. "See you and Cherry at home."
Fruit nodded as Cherry approached him and held out her hand. He took it and shook it.
"Thanks for sticking up for me, again." Cherry said. "I don't get why you're being so nice to me, lately."
"Because, I'm seeing the real you." Fruit replied as he stared at the floor, nervously. "Not the spoiled royal you pretend to be."
Cherry's eyes widened. "Gee, thanks."
"You really should let people see the real you." Fruit suggested. "Just a thought."
"That's a good idea." Cherry agreed as the bell rang. "Guess it's time to go home for the day."
Fruit nodded as he and Cherry walked out of the school.
"I'll be watching you, Fruit Loop." Cotton whispered to himself as he watched Fruit and Cherry meet up with Popsicle and then go home.
