Bloody Mary

King Boo

Please, my dear. Say something. Y/N has only been silent for a few seconds, but the anticipation is killing me. Was I too forward? Should I have even asked her? Y/N's cheeks are dusted pink as she stands there, looking up at me. Her deeps eyes look onto me as if they are piercing my soul.

"I would be happy to, Sire." She finally says with a smile. I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding in. "I do think that we should get to the rest of that statue though..." She looks back to the area where we left it.

"Of course, let's get on that right away." I sigh with a small smile. I'm sure she will love the celebration.

Y/N walks towards the statue and leaps the fence to take care of it. I float over to help anyway that I can. Y/N takes her foot and slams her heel down onto the center of the statue. The second that her heel makes contact, the statue crumbles into a large pile of rubble. Y/N then stomps her foot to the side and the ground opens up and swallows the remains of the statue. She turns to me and jumps a little. I can't help but chuckle at how startled she looks.

"Didn't see me here?" I tease. The Deadly Nightshade I put behind her ear just adds to her complexion, but I can't seem to understand why.

"...Yes, I didn't see you..." She sighs, smiling as she starts strolling over to me and hopping the fence. She walks over to the square shaped hole in the ground and, once again, stomps her foot down. Instead of the ground opening, it fills the hole. A patch of dirt is the only remaining sign of that statue ever being here. Then, Y/N's hands start to radiate green light once again. Grass grows in the once dead area of the garden and, since Boos and Spirits have been in Evershade Valley, the garden has never looked better.

"The garden looks fabulous, my dear." I put my hand on her shoulder as we both look to the completed garden. "I only wish I could have done more to help."

"Having a Plant Master around is just what we need." Charlie floats over to Y/N. "Can't you stay?" He asks her.

"I'm sorry, Charlie..." Y/N sighs. "I can't stay forever. I'm human, I need sunlight to stay alive." Y/N pats Charlie's head. "As long as it's okay with the King, I can visit."

"You can visit as much as you'd like, my dear." I quickly answer before she can ask. Almost too quickly.

Both of their eyes light up, Charlie's more so than Y/N's. Charlie starts vibrating from excitement. "Thank you, Your Majesty!" Charlie practically shouts as they rush over and give Y/N a hug.

"If you ask me, she shouldn't even set foot anywhere near Evershade Valley." Henry sneers.

Before any of us could respond, Anna's voice cuts into the conversation. "No one ever asked, Henry." Anna's up on the patio and glaring at Henry. She turns to Y/N. "I was coming to tell you to meet us in the Library after you were done, Kind." Anna looks all around the garden in awe. "But it looks like you're finished, and boy, does it look great!" She looks to Y/N. "Are you done? 'Cause we still have quite a bit to get through. We only did the warm up." She raises a brow.

"Hold on... That was the warm up?" Y/N's face is full of shock. "You had me balance books on my head for two hours."

"Yeah, warm up." Anna crosses her arms over her chest. She turns on her heel and walks to the door. "You coming?" She looks to Y/N over her shoulder.

"Um, sure." Y/N turns to me, an apologetic look crosses her face. "So sorry, Your Majesty." She bows and rushes after Anna. Before entering the mansion, she turns to me and gives me a small smile and wave.

My 'heart' flutters a little at the sight. What is this? What am I, a middle school girl? I shake my head to try and come to my sense. I simply enjoy spending time with such a strong young lady. I think.
