Flames Pond and the Princess 4: Flames Pond Never Dies

Change of Plans

Lucy's POV
I woke up to a loud beeping noise. "AHH!!" I screamed.

"Wakey wakey!" Clyde shouted. Then he grinned. "Morning cutie."

I glared. "Don't you ever call me that again." I say through clenched teeth. Clyde gave an awkward grin. "Why not?"

"Just because I agreed to this stupid idea, doesn't mean that you can go around calling me names, jerk!"

Clyde chuckled and kisses me softly. I kick him in the shin and he pulls away. Holding his leg in pain, fire burns in his eyes. "OW! You little-" He raised his hand to slap me across the face but luckily Fuzzy Guy walked in. For once I was actually relieved to see him.

"Clyde, don't you dare!" he said. "Where's your manners?"

"Sorry, darling dearest." Clyde apologized. Although I knew he was only being sarcastic. "Anyways, I have some exciting news."

"Oh boy," I say unexcitedly. "I can't wait..."

"Our wedding is rescheduled for later in the morning." he says. "Just to speed things up a little."

"What?! But you said that-"

He cut me off. "Forget what I said. "It's a change of plans. And don't complain about it. Because if you do, you'll force me to kill you."

"You can't kill me!" I say. "I'm of royalty!"

"She's right," Fuzzy said.

"Fuzzy, shut up!" I yell.

"I'm just trying to help. Well, I mean... never mind. I think I'll just be outside."

Then Fuzzy got up and left the room.

Clyde cleared his throat. "As I was saying." he began. "I'm also of royalty and I don't care what you say."

"Clyde, you do know that Fuzzy is not to be trusted." I say. "I've seen how he does things, I've dealt with him for years. You don't know what he's capable of. He's a threat to not just me, but everyone! And it doesn't matter if your working alongside him! He's using you!"

"I can handle myself." Clyde says. "If he tries to betray me. That's his fault. Besides, I've dealt with his kind before. I've been part of gangs, crimes, even murders."

"Then your no Prince." I hiss. "Just a madman in a sad world."

Clyde seemed to get infuriated, however, he didn't show it. "You're a tough one." he says. "I like that about you."

He got up. "I suggest you stay quiet. And I'll see you later my dear." Then he leaves with a chuckle.
