A.N: TBH, I'm kind of sick of Gaia. Like, I can't seem to write her with any personality! I obviously can't get rid of her, but I won't be using her P.O.V until the one person who reads this bugs me.
Xander's P.O.V
"We been walking forever!" J.J complains. I mean, he's not wrong. Phillip and Jericho entertained us by annoying Harry with a song obviously aimed at him. Which other person isn't cool but thinks it anyway? Not to say Harry isn't cool, but maybe he isn't to them? Okay, now I'm confused.
It's gotten rapidly warmer, and the forest has become thick and lush. J.J and Gil have been panting since we officially entered the Rainforest. The largest Kingdom besides the Imperial City, it holds the only other artefact museum in Auradon.
"But why couldn't we have stolen from the Auradon City museum?" Drake asked. Gaia responded with "The same reason that Darktail couldn't come: It's the most important city in Auradon! Anything going missing would be noticed."
I ask Juan why he's coming with us. "My two best friends are coming. Why wouldn't I?" He responds. Before I can say "Because this is going to end Auradon", Drake asks him to help her with something. "Aw, those two are adorable!" Jericho says, stepping up behind me.
Out of the corner of my eye, I see Harry looking over jealous. Like, really, really jealous. Oof. "Yeah, they are." I say cautiously. She seems to have a constant smile on her face, like Drake. When Harry and Juan cleared her head before, I almost cried! It was so heartwarming, and she's a total barrel of laughs!
We've been chatting for about 20 minutes when there's a rustling in the branches of a large tree. This has happened a lot, but it sounds like a really big animal. We all stare at the tree, waiting. A black panther the size of a small car slips gracefully down the trunk of the tree, a snarl on its face.
"Woah kitty!" Harry says. The panther looks...confused? Then it seems to disintegrate. "Oh my god!" We all scream. Then it reforms into a girl, slightly taller then us with short, brown hair. Gil shrieks and Harry has to catch him, as he has fainted.
There's and expression of humor on her face as she walks toward us. "Oh, sorry! I do tend to scare people when I do that!" She says. Gaia steps forward cautiously. "Who are you?" The girl laughs, but it sounds like a roar. "Who am I? Well, I'm the one and only Tyneisha, daughter of Bagheera. Y'know, in case we're doing the 'introduction' thing." She says, taking a bow.
Quartz, who has been oddly silent the whole journey, ( More like I forgot about him wink face ) smiles at her and hugs her. At first she doesn't recognize him, but after a while she starts to hug back. "Um, what's happening here?" Uma asks. Quartz breaks apart from Tyneisha and says "Oh sorry! Do you remember that time when one student from each Kingdom came for the year?"
We all nod, and he continues. " Well, I met Tyneisha then, and we kind of clicked." Uma gags at the cute exchange. Tyneisha looks at Kaylee and wrinkles her nose. "Is that-" Kaylee smirks and says "The one and only" mockingly. Ugh. Another pair of enemies.
They continue to glare at each other, until J.J steps in between them. "Come on guys! Liven up! Besides..." He smirks evilly
Let's Go Crazy
J.J:
Dearly beloved
We are gathered here today to get through this thing called life
Electric word, life It means forever
And that's a mighty long time
But I'm here to tell you
There's something else; The afterworld.
A world of neverending happiness.
You can always see the sun, day, or night
SO WHEN YOU CALL UP THAT SHIRNK IN BEVERLY HILLS
You know the one, Dr. Everything-be-alright
Instead of asking him how much of you life is left, ask him how much of your mind babe.
'Cause in this life, things are much harder then in the afterworld.
In this life, YOUR OWN YOUR OWN
If the elevator tried to bring you down...
GO CRAZY, PUNCH A HIGHER FLOOR!
Whoo!If you don't like
The world you're living in
Take a look around you
least you got friends. You see, I called my old lady
For a friendly word
She just picked up the phone
Dropped it on the floor
"Ah ah" is all I heard Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no lets go! Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Let's look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go! We're all excited
But we don't know why
Maybe it's cause
We're all gonna die And when we do (When we do)
What's it all for? (What's it all for?)
You better live now
Before the grim reaper come knocking on your door Tell me, are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go! Let's go crazy
Let's get nuts
Look for the purple banana
Until they put us in the truck, let's go! C'mon baby
Let's get nuts!
Yeah
(Crazy)Let's go crazy! Are we gonna let the elevator bring us down?
Oh, no let's go!
Go (Go crazy) WhooI said let's go crazy (Go crazy)
Let's go (Let's go!)
Go (Let's go!)Dr. Everything'll-Be-Alright
Will make everything go wrong
Pills and thrills and daffodils will kill
Hang tough children He's coming
He's coming
Coming. Take me away!
During this Prince-mania, J.J dances around acting like a maniac. Well, he is a maniac , and my best bud! "Is he.. okay?" Tyneisha asks. "No" We all respond. All of a sudden, several wolves and one, humongous panther surround us. "Tyneisha. What did we say about talking to strangers!" Bagheera says. Tyneisha looks at her feet, embarrassed by her father.
"Don't do it. But Quartz isn't a stranger! Remember, I told you about him!" She says, glaring at him. He snorts. "One that you know, ten that you don't! And..." he says, looking at the Sea Three with distaste. "Three of them are pirates." He spits the word out like its a bad bit of cake.
"Why does everyone always have a problem with them?! Like, they saved Auradon for the love of the gods!" Drake says, throwing her hands up in the air. Uma nods her thanks, even this probably won't do any good.
"Look at Gil! Does he look dangerous to you?" I add. Everyone looks at Gil, who is currently trying to get a butterfly to land on his finger. "Hmm?" He says, noticing us looking at him. Harry obviously knows that we won't be sticking up for him, so he just completely ignores the situation.
Of course, Bagheera doesn't know that we hate Harry, so he waits expectantly for us to defend him. "Harry is a loyal, hardworking person, and if the rest of these people can't see that, then they're blind" Jericho says, looking at the rest of us with anger apparent on her face.
"He also saved Jericho from pretty much dying." Juan says. He looks at Harry for conformation, and then sighs. "Before that, I hadn't talked to Harry for two years. But I can say without lying that he is my best friend, and is loyal to a fault."
The smug expression on Harry's face is so out of place, I'm actually mad at him now! They just stood up for him, and he's acting like he did it himself! Bagheera eyes them, but eventually leads us to the Heart of the Rainforest.
