Flames Pond and the Princess 4: Flames Pond Never Dies

Something Fishy

Jake's POV
"So what'd you need help with?" I asked Lucy.

Lucy gasped. "Oh right! So before I was interrupted, I was gonna ask you if I could borrow one of your suits."

I raised an eyebrow. "What for?"

"Um, well, I was gonna use it for something. You'll get it back don't worry."

"I'm not worried about the suit." I said. "I worry about you in general. Are you OK?"

Lucy nodded. "Of course."

Something fishy was going on but I assumed it was Royal duty stuff. "Alright." I said. "Here's the key to my bedroom."

I handed Lucy a silver key. She smiled. "Thanks."

"No problem. But please don't take too long in there. I get embarrassed having someone in my room."

Lucy's POV
I scoffed. "Jake, you're so paranoid. I won't nose my way through your room. I promise. I'm just gonna grab a suit and then I'll be out. You won't even know I was in there."

Jake nodded. "I hope so." he said.

I got on Butterscotch who was patiently waiting for me to get back on. She was probably tired from carrying me all this way.

I was about to head off when Jake says, "Wait!"

I stopped. "Yes?"

"Make sure you lock everything back up when you leave, OK?" he asked.

I nodded. "OK." I said. Then Butterscotch and I headed back to the castle.
