Fate On Wheels 2 ~ Skephalo/Dream6d AU

Chapter 18 ~ Friendly Faces

~ { Start of the 'Team' Arc } ~  

The two boys walked into the kingdom, the busy bustle of the morning overwhelming Bad. Looking into the crowd, he paused as his mind began to race from potential bad things that could come from it. He began to visibly shake as he lifted his hand to his chest in a guarded manner. 

Skeppy took notice of this and grabbed his friend's hand comfortingly, pulling it down to his side. As he did this, Bad's breath hitched in surprise, his breathing soon evening out as he calmed down. Bad looked over to the blue boy for an answer as to why Skeppy had suddenly grabbed his hand.

"Don't worry, you'll be fine. I'll protect you if anything happens, i promise." Skeppy said, a comforting smile showing on his face.

Bad took a deep and nodded, his panicked face turning to a smile. "Thank you, Skeppy..."

"Its no problem," He started with a brighter smile, "Now, Let's go, we have a job to do after all!" Skeppy said louder, sprinting into the crowd and dragging Bad along with a surprised yelp. 

After a few minutes of walking, Skeppy noticed a guard and went to walk up to him, but stopped suddenly as a thought went through his head. 

'Your eyes! You have magic, get out of here you monster. Didn't you read the sign?! None of your kind are allowed here! OUT!" The man growled with a yell.'

The moment flashed through his mind. His eyes, they must be a sign of magic. The headmaster said many people don't take kindly to those with magic. So if he walked up to the guard, he could get them in trouble.

He looked to the confused Bad and spoke, "Could you go up to that guard and see if they have any ideas to where the people we're looking for could be? I would but... apparently my eyes don't bring us the best luck around here.

Bad frowned a bit at his friend's way of talking but nodded. Skeppy let go of the other's hand and Bad walked off and to the guard.

"Hello? Could i get some help with something?" Bad asked, a politeness accompanying his voice and stature.

"Yes? What do you need?" The guard said with a feminine voice as she turned to Bad.

"I've heard reports of uh.. two boys being found without memories? I was wondering where I could speak to them." Bad spoke, noticing how suspicious he was sounding and hoping that the guard wouldn't question him. He doesn't exactly want to attempt to explain their situation.

"They've been wandering around the kingdom. As far as I'm aware, they are currently with the kingdom's herbalist." The guard responded, "is that all you need?" 

"Uh, where is the herbalist... exactly?" Bad asked.

The guard explained the directions and bad went back to Skeppy, yelling a thank you to the guard as he walked. "Okay, we have to go to the Kingdom's herbalist! Supposedly that's where they are," he explained to Skeppy.

"Yes! Thank you, Bad. Do you know where the herbalist is?" He asked, thankful for his friend being able to get the information.

"Mhmm! The guard gave me directions." Bad replied with a smile.

"Thank god, make sure not to forget the directions this time," Skeppy said, a bit of playfulness in his voice in the second part.

Bad glared, "Come on. We gotta go before they leave." Bad said, grabbing Skeppy's hand and dragging him off as he followed the directions he was told. 

Skeppy snickered as he followed his friend, smiling as Bad held back a smile.

After a few minutes, they made it to the herbalist shop. When they walked in, they spotted two boys sitting at a bench that seemed to be the waiting seat. Bad looked at Skeppy with a frown, nerves lacing his body. 

Skeppy looked up at bad and put his hand up to the other's ear, whispering into it. "It'll be fine. Don't worry. Want me to take the lead?" Skeppy spoke, backing away from the other when he was finished. 

Bad nodded and Skeppy smiled, walking up to the two boys. The strangers turned to the others as Skeppy waved to them.

"Hey, are you two the people who lost their memories..?" Skeppy asked, realizing after finishing how strange that sentence was.

"Uh. I guess. Why?" A taller boy with purple eyes spoke, his voice laced with some sort of accent. 

"Well, we.." Skeppy said, looking at Bad before continuing and turning back to the other two. "Were sent to find you two. We're actually in the same situation." Skeppy finished, laughing a bit at the end.

"Oh, well-" The purple-eyed boy started, being interrupted by the other with bright green eyes.

"I'm Dream, and he's A6d." 'Dream' said, a friendly tone in his voice. 

A6d growled a bit and glared at the other. "Yeah, that."

"Wow, your name is even weirder than mr.insult over there," Skeppy said, looking at a6d as he pointed to Bad.

"sKEPPY! That's rude!" Bad said with a scolding manner.

Skeppy laughed at the other, stopping quickly to focus on the situation at hand. "Sorry sorry!" Skeppy said turning to the other two.

"So... You're Skeppy?" 'A6d' asks.

"Yep! From what I remember anyway." The short boy responded.

"Seems like you shouldn't be saying anything about people having weird names," A6d said, snickering. 

A 'Pfft-' was heard from Bad as Skeppy was sent into silence. 

"I-" Was all Skeppy could make out, this causing Bad to burst into laughter, A6d following this, then Dream. Skeppy crossed his arms with an offended look "You three are bullies." 

Bad slowly calmed himself and spoke "Sorry! It's about time someone returned your insults." Bad said, a large smile spread across his face. 

"They're not insults! They're just- ... Okay, I'm just going to shut up." Skeppy said, defeated.

Bad snickered a bit, turning to the now calmed Dream and A6d. "Anyways, I'm Badboyhalo! Bt, Skeppy calls me Bad because apparently 'Badboyhalo' is too long." He said. 

A small huff was heard from Skeppy as he glared at the three, the conversation continuing on.

I think they're going to get along just fine.
