Adventures: A quest of four and many more

The Twenty-Fourth

Once the group had finished their breakfast, everyone gathered outside the hotel, ready for the day ahead.

"Twilight, Michael!" Laura ran up to the two racers who were going to face off later that morning. "Are you guys excited for your race?" She questioned, glancing between them.

"Of course, Laura," Twilight nodded, smiling under her mask as she spoke, "I'll get to beat this guy to the ground today." She chuckled as Angel leaped onto her shoulder, puffing out her chest with the most confidence and pride a lioness could have.

"Sure am." Michael nodded, smirking down at his next opponent. "Plus, I don't think I'm the one losing today, mister bodyguard." He teased, using a nickname to provoke Twilight. What is with these guys and nicknames? First it was Seven and Louis, now these two?! Who's next?! (Silver and Sena Probably)

"Calm down, you eager little bunnies. You can pursue each other later." Silver mocked, laughing as he watched the two go back and forth with playful remarks.

"It kind of seems like they're flirting at this rate." Seven whispered to Nightmare, who snorted, stifling her laughter. Sena heard her shortest bodyguard's comment and giggled too, hiding her smile with her hand.

"What's so funny?" Jin asked, staring at the trio like they were insane.

"Nothing," Nightmare hummed, leaning on a lamp post, "Seven just came up with a few new nicknames for you." She rolled her eyes.

"Really?! Like what?!" He smiled, excited to hear.

Twilight heard their conversation, grinning at her comrades as she looked between them. They all nodded at each other, ready to spill all the insults they had prepared for him over the past few weeks of their adventure. They even had a list of these terrible nicknames for him. (Literally)

"We have a lot of them, so we can alternate telling you." She chuckled, setting her gaze on him.

Sir Jock took a seat, well aware of the trio's antics. This was gonna be a long one.

Nightmare cleared her throat, beginning the extensive list that had quite a collection of insults. There were enough to fill a gallery. The creativity of their offensive titles and epithets for him was a work of art on its own. "The first one is 'ignoramus with a mop of fire'," She said, turning to Seven, gesturing for her to continue.

"Unintelligent red-haired clod," The short girl hummed, setting her gaze on Twilight.

"Flaming dimwit." The brunette giggled, and the cycle continued in that specific order.

"Chili-top dunderhead."

"Clueless redhead."

Jin was becoming more concerned with each name they spewed, trying to stop them even before they got to the halfway point.

"Guys, I don't think I want to hear anymore." He attempted to interrupt them, sweating now that he was hearing all these insults.

The trio continued, knowing that they didn't have to stop until Sena told them to, since they didn't have to respond to anyone but the royal family.

"Enough, guys," Sena spoke up, chuckling after a bit of letting her bodyguards mock her friend.

"Fine, fine." Twilight rolled her eyes playfully.

"That was fun." Seven giggled, looking between her comrades.

Nightmare nodded, arms crossed, as Silver spoke up behind her, his voice light and filled with amusement.

"Man, I wish I had joined in on that." He laughed, shaking his head.

"You can help with the list." The shortest bodyguard said, holding up the little notebook she used to write down any ideas she had that she thought she'd need later.
