Emily's Pov

"careful...careful w-whoa!" "it's ok. I've got you, it just one quick thing Chere." "what's that?" "could you maybe oh i don't know... maybe NOT PULL ON MY EARS FOR TRYING TO BALANCE YOURSELF!" "oops. sorry parn." "*sigh* it's fine just try to be little more how shall i put this graceful alright chere?" "alright,alright geez you think your collar's on too tight? i'm only asking because you seem more of a smart alack now." "do i now? well that seems like that's another thing from you i'm learning." "then it's a good thing then, mph! got it! let me down Parn." "of course. I can't believed i let you talk me into doing that."parn grumbled under his breath i think he was hoping that i wouldn't hear anything as he helped me down."well you offered for me to stand on your shoulders so we could put the godmother's head on the statue i didn't tell you to put me on your shoulders. you offered it i just went along with it." "you know what, i'm going to forget that this conversation ever happen." "oh come on, you don't like me proving you're wrong kitty?" i smirked back towards him as i was done climbing down from his shoulders. "no, i don't like when you gloat about it,chere." "i'm not gloating...am i? sorry... i didn't know." (oh no i messed something up... again just like i always do... don't lose it emily. keep it together.) i noticed parn was looking at me as if he was worried about me as i shirked away from him a little. "Emily, i was just teasing with you i didn't mean anything by it." "you didn't? i-i just thought you were upset with me, that's all." "chere, come here." i started walking towards him as soon as i got close to him he wrapped me in a hug. "your fine Mon Chere, i can't help but tease you like you tease me sometimes little mouse, you know i don't do it to be mean to you right?" "..yeah. i know." i tried looking away from him but he caught on to me trying to avoid his gaze he gently moved my head back and held it for me to look at him again. "I'm sorry if it seemed like my joking was mean spirited or came off like it was...i meant nothing by it little mouse." "your not going to tell me 'learn how to take a joke Emily' or anything like that"? "No, why would i? i could tell that you were upset with what i had said, to say something like that would be brushing you and your feelings to the side for no one to notice it i couldn't possibly do that to-has someone said that to you before?"  i noticed him stopping in the middle of his words to ask me that question it seems like he caught on to something about my wording. "just...other kids in school and some of my friends sometimes when their joking around although, i almost never think it's funny sometimes when it really is mean spirited and then i get repermented for it when i don't care or like it." "well,they are foolish people then for not noticing how you feel my lady. i would never brush you aside like that emily." he looked me straight in the eye as he said this, like he wants me to know that he's sincere when he tells me this, he then gave me a quick little peck on my lips."now that the moment is behind us do you want me to put the wand on the statue?" "if you could, Casanova." "A Casanova am i? well i didn't know that you saw me like that chere." "w-what? i-i um well you see w-what i meant is that..in all seriousness..S-SHUT UP!" i crossed my arms and puffed out my cheeks as i turned away from him (crap..and now i'm blushing because of him. Great...just Great.) "*chuckles* you know, your absolutely an adorable character little mouse, especially when you blush, i just thought you would like to know that." he smirked at me as he bopped my nose as he climbed back up to the 2nd godmother's statue with the wand in hand as he placed it in her hands the wand grew into a cane of sorts and tapped three times to reveal a secret cache opening up to reveal another wand within the base and a name plate that reads 'Godmother of the Ivy.' "ok, i checked that thing twice since we've been here and that was never there before." "well you know what they say parn, third times the charm!" "yes, until the charm has worn off then it is just aggravation to one's mind." "oh quit being such a downer kitty, at least we know what we have to go do now." "Oh really? And what is it that we would have to chere?" he smirked at me like he was messing with me or at least, What i was thinking he was trying to do, by trying to make me smile as he put his arm around me, i Just had to roll my eyes at him for being such a silly kitty."Parn your so silly. Come on let's go see if the church is done airing out so we can see what's behind that door Chi was hanging on." "sounds good Mon Chere and if i can make you smile then maybe i am doing a very good job at being silly for you chere, now then let's see a smile." i couldn't help but giggle as I smiled at him as we started walking back past into the graveyard to the symbol. "parn? do yo think we could use the symbol to get back inside the castle you know after we check the stables?" "why do you want head back there  little mouse?" "well two reasons one: to get this sign out of my bag. it weights a ton and it's starting to weighed me down. and two: i want to double check if we missed anything in there." "mmm. alright. do want me to wait for you here or do you want me to follow you there?" "you can come with me if you want to parn, i'm not forcing you to follow me you can make your own choices on that." "...it would make me feel safer about you being with me than being alone on your own." "well come on then. let's go." "...right behind you chere."
