In And Out (a deltarune fanfic)

Chapter 4: Calm Down

The two lightners turned to their left and saw a short, shadowy figure standing on the tall rock. Clowns...? Heh, must be Lancer! "Hey, dude!" Susie waved to him.

"Susie! Kris! How have you two been?!?!" Lancer asked, carefully jumping off of the rock and running to Susie, hugging her close.

"We've been doing good. You?" Kris joined in.

"It's been great! Running the kingdom has gotten a little bit harder, though."

"Oh? How so?"

"Well, they say that I... Need a queen?" Lancer looked up at Susie, thinking about what he had just said and feeling a bit awkward.

"Well, hopefully you find one!" Kris nudged Susie's arm a little and whispered, "I think-"

"Kris. Don't you DARE finish that thought..." Susie whispered, a little louder than a whisper, though.

"Let's go find Ralsei, then!" Lancer suggested.

"Heh, sure, Lancer." With that, they all found themselves walking to the dark prince's castle, village, town, thing... Whatever! Ralsei was standing outside of his home, in a field. He looked back to face the trio,

"hey, guys! Been a long time, heh" he exclaimed. The three came over to the fluffy boy, Susie still holding Lancer's hand while they walked.

"Ha, yeah!" Kris laughed. Everyone was catching up in the field, except for Susie. She was... Quiet, as they were used to now. Lancer, being the curious little guy he was, decided that enough was enough! He would find out what was wrong with her, whether she liked it or not!

Not really thinking ahead, he asked, "Susie? Are you okay? You've been pretty quiet for the last little while!"

"Yeah, I'm... I'm fine..." She said, looking away from him slightly.

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."

"But, are you sure that you're sure?"

"Yeah, dude!" Susie laughed a little.

"Why do you always have your hair to the right side?"

"I! I just, felt like changing it up!"

"Uh huh. And I still want my father to be king." Lancer sarcastically remarked.

"Look. I'm not doing great, just, okay... Alright?"

"Are you sick? Why aren't you feeling good?"

"Because...I'm just not, okay?"

"I want to see your eye."

"What?!?!"

"You know what I mean!" Lancer climbed on top of her, as she was sitting down, "the one under your hair!"

"Lancer, not right now, okay?" Susie was mad. She didn't want to discuss it right then. And he was only making matters worse!

Lancer was getting very impatient, maybe even too impatient. He finally made a straight and slightly aggravated expression and went for it. He tried to lift the hair out of the way, but it wasn't long until he felt a sharp pain. It was an ax, not just any ax. It was her's, he knew it well. It threw him back away from the group. He was bleeding, bad.

"Lancer!" Ralsei and Kris shouted in unison worriedly, before running over to him. Ralsei tried to heal and care for Lancer, while Kris held him up a bit and turned to give a cold, death-stare like look to Susie. She was looking up in a defensive way, though thought about what had happened and she had done.

"Lancer, are you okay?!?!" Ralsei shouted.

"Y-yeah, I'm fine!" Lancer had been healed a bit.

Susie looked down, her eye hurting more than usual and finding her hands coated in a light layer of blood and dust. What had she done?

"Susie? What was that?!?!" Ralsei screamed, holding on to Lancer closely as he tried to sit up.

"I-I... I..." Her eyes (or, eye, I guess) wide in shock and fear of what she had just done... Calm down, Susie! It was an accident! She thought to herself...
