The Fourth Friend (An Amphibia Story)

Part 6: We're Protecting Each Other

Skylar's P.O.V

'TRAINING?!' Both me and Sasha yell in confusion.

'Yes training' Grime confirms. 'Now get appropriately dressed and join me in the courtyard' Grime orders before leaving the room, not failing to slam the door on his way out.

'Dressed appropriately? We only have one outfit!' Sasha complains.

'That's where I come in Lasses' a loud, one handed, one footed toad with a long, blond moustache and a Viking hat comes in.

'I swear to frog if that guys name is Gobber-'

'The names Gobber the Squelch and I'm the tower's blacksmith, I'll be fitting you two with your armour'

'You've gotta be kidding me, first bob the builder now this!?'

'What makes you think I'm kidding about anything Lass?' The intimidating toad asks.

'N-nothing' I give an embarrassed smile, realising that I had said that out loud. 'I have really got to stop saying my thoughts out loud' I make a mental note.

'You even said that out loud' Sasha comments. 'C'mon Sky' she orders as she follows the toad out of the room.

'Fine'

'That's a lot of weapons' I stand in awe of the armoury in front of me.

'Sure is, and all of them were made by yours truly, but we ain't here for weapons we're here to get you two some armour and with how weak you two look I think you'll need it'

'HEY! WE'RE NOT WEAK!' Me and Sasha claim.

'Ok I admit that Skylar might be a bit out of shape but I'm definitely not weak' Sasha adds on.

'Really' I deadpan, giving Sasha a death glare. She just smirks at me in response.

'Alrighty then, this way lasses' Gobber orders and continues further into the armoury.

———————————————————

'Now this looks pretty cool' I chuckle as I spin around in front of the mirror. My armour was practically the same as Sasha's except my cloak was a little different, it covering my face a little more.

'It's not designed to 'look cool' it's designed to be practical for combat' Gobber explains.

'Whatever party popper' Sasha groans. 'So do we get weapons or not?'

'Weapons are only for those who know how to use them, so...... no. Now you two better head to the courtyard before Grime gets grumpy'

'More grumpy than usual you mean' Sasha comments. Gobber just glares at Sasha which makes me chuckle. 'Fine, fine we're going, we're going. C'mon Sky'

'Thanks Gobber' I smile and wave at the Viking toad.

———————————————————

'There you are' Grime says to Sasha. 'Wait, where's Skylar?'

'She has to use the bathroom' Sasha explains.

Grime and Sasha wait in the courtyard for a good 15 minutes until I finally show up.

'Sorry I'm late' I smile at the two.

'How is it that without a fail you are ALWAYS 15 minutes late to everything?' Sasha yells at me. I just sheepishly smile and scratch the back of my head.
