Flames Pond and the Princess: The Return of Fuzzy Guy

Rude Awakening

Flames's POV
I was fast asleep until I heard the sound of a doorknock.

I open my eyes, get up, then walked to the door.

When I peeked through the tiny peephole, I bit my tongue to keep myself from screaming.

Fuzzy's henchmen have found me!

I rush over to wake Lucy up.

"Lucy! Lucy! Wake up!" I say, shaking her shoulder.

Lucy peeped her eyes open. "Flames? What's going on?"

"We have to leave! We've been found!"

"Open this door!"
The voices were saying from the other side of the door.

"Oh no."

"I'm gonna give you to the count of three, Flames. If you don't let us in by then, we're busting this door down ourselves!"

I grabbed a bag and flung it over my shoulder. Then I grab my trusty golf club and I hurried Lucy into a secret hole.

"Go, go, go!" I say.

"One..."

I get in the hole.
Not enough time!

"Two... Three!"

Lucy's POV
I heard the door fall and hit the hard floor from above.

Flames was right next to me, trying to keep me from screaming by holding a finger to his mouth.

I nodded.

Just then, there were voices.

"They're not here!" one said.

"Well, son of a biscuit!" another piped up. "It seems that everytime we appear, Flames somehow manages to escape!"

"Not this time..." the first one said.
"Let's start looking! I sense that Flames is somewhere around this dump! Search every nook and cranny if you have to! Now!"

Flames tapped me on the shoulder and motioned for me to follow him quietly.

First we started to crawl.
Then we slowly advanced up to our feet and cantered to the open door.

I was almost there when I tripped over a rock and landed with a thud.

Flames turned around.

Soon, we both heard them searching the floor.

Creak! Creeeeeeeeeak!
The floorboards above our heads squeaked.

Then we heard the secret door being opened and that was when me and Flames made a run for it.

Flames's POV
I opened the door just in time but I wasn't quick enough to close it.

Soon both I and Lucy were on the run again.

We seemed to be running for hours when we came to a dead end.

Dang it!

Just then, we were both surrounded by Fuzzy's henchmen.

"Flames Pond," one of the henchmen said in a very reassuring tone.
It was Andy.
"We've got you cornered. There's no way out."

"Um, actually there is." Lucy said.

"Hahahaha! And who might you be?" Andy asked.

"The name's Star Swirl!" Lucy said, no hint of fear in her voice.

There was nothing but a moment of silence.
Soon, I thought I could hear the crickets chirping.

Then all of the men started laughing.
"HAHAHAHA!!!"

I could tell this offended Lucy.

So just to conclude, I swung my fist at one of the henchmen's face.

He fell backwards and lay motionless on the ground.

This aroused a new feeling to the others and they all started throwing punches and kicks at me.

But I'm Flames Pond.

I dodged them all swiftly, bringing one after another to the hard ground.

Sometimes, they'd get back on their feet and have another go.

I look over to Lucy and she was doing fairly well.

Well, until she tripped backwards.

"Ugh!" she groaned when she landed.

"Hahahaha!! You know, for a good person, you sure are a cutie!" I heard Andy tease.
