The Lost Prince

The Clouds in Our Eyes

((You better like this freezing chapter because when I first wrote it, I by accidentally deleted it and I was done!! So now I'm writing it AGAIN!"))

After that ordeal the group decided it would be best to do nothing. So outside in the emerald green grass they lay watching the clouds a drift by.

"Look a bunny!" Feliciano pointed to a fluffy cluster of clouds.

"Mmmm, it looks more like a platypus." Gilbert said angling his head.

"A what?" Lovino said confused.

"A duck beaver." Matthew narrowed down.

"A what?" Antonio retorted.

"Never mind." Gil gave in.

"Only Mattie and gilbird understand my sorrows." He sighed petting the yellow chick. "Wait! Look!" He said looking up at the sky.

They all looked up. "That one looks like a big vicious dragon!" Gilbert yelled.

"Maybe it's a real dragon." Antonio tried to scare Lovi.

"When we get home, I'm gonna go find a dragon!" Lovino said.

"What, why?!" Feli asked.

"So that when I become king they'll talk about the GREAT dragon hunting King!! Or Lovino the dragon Tamer!"he said proudly.

"When you can tame your own shadow then we'll talk about dragons." Ludwig joked.

"Well show me all the dragons you've slain ." Lovino snapped.

"I haven't met a dragon yet, but I have fought an unforgiving shark."

"Really?" Mattie said amazed.

"Yup, a while back on a fishing trip." Ludwig recalled.

"What happened?" Feli asked.

"Well, I had caught a small fish on my line however a shark got a hold of it when I was pulling it in. The shark pulled to hard and pulled me into the ocean." Ludwig started.

Feliciano and the others all rolled on their bellies to look at Ludwig as he told the story.

"After he pulled me in he charged at me. Now I had heard a little fish tale that if you hit a shark in the eye he would be momentarily be confused, or something around those lines. So with that in mind I punched the shark in the eye."

"That's my brother!" Gilbert said proudly.

"I didn't want to give him the chance to charge again so I got on his back and wrapped my arms around him. I didn't know at the time that sharks have very soft bellies. So when I held on to tight my hand tore threw and the shark began to bleed heavily. I let it go and it went limp on its side...... horrible for making the creature suffer so I swam back to my boat. I brought the boat to the shark and took out my harpoon finishing the poor thing."

"Were you scared?" Feli asked.

"Of course he wasn't!" Gilbert said.

"Well..... Actually I was.... For my life.... And for the monster like fish."

"That's pretty brave!" Antonio was impressed.

"Ludi, you had to kill the shark right?" Feliciano asked.

Ludwig looked at Feliciano who looked very worried. Ludwig frowned and sighed.

"I wouldn't have if I didn't have to." He said.

Feliciano was reassured and he smiled wide. "I knew you wouldn't!"

"Yeah he's a big hero." Lovino sassed. "Can we go eat now?"

"Already?" Antonio questioned.

"Look, I almost got eaten by a bird today, I think I deserve some chow." He grumbled.

"I'm hungry to!" Feliciano said excited.

"You two are bottomless pits." Ludwig grumbled.

"I'm getting a rumbling in my tumbling to." Gil said sitting up. "Let's go get a snack."

They all sat up and started to follow the Prussian King back to the front entrance. However when they got there they saw a carriage rolling up the long strip to the castle. Matthew was the first to see and recognize it.

"Uh... Gil.... When did you invite Roderick over?" He asked.

"Never in my lifetime." He said turning towards Matthew. "Awe come on! What the hell is he doing here?!"

"Maybe he wanted to meet Ludwig?" Matthew pointed out.

"I hope not, Ludi you're not gonna like this guy." Gilbert warned.

"How come?" Antonio asked.

"He's pompous, he's lazy!" Gilbert complained. "He's cheep!"

"Sounds like a culo apretado." Antonio smiled to himself.

The twins giggled and Ludwig scolded them. Matthew tried to hold in a laugh and Gilbert just seemed confused.

"What?" He asked.

Matthew bit his lip to stop himself from laughing. "He called him a tight ass." Matthew explained.

Gilbert bursts out laughing and grabbed his gut. The others laughed to, but mostly because they had to explain the joke.

"Let's go inside before he sees us." Gilbert snickered.

"Shouldn't you welcome him in?" Ludwig asked.

"No, it will be way more fun to watch him have a hissy fit." Gilbert said walking away.

"He always has to be announced for every room." Matthew pointed out.

"Yeah, even the latrine." Gilbert reminded. "Now let's go hide!"
