Saffron had really ticked Faye off with her accusations.

"I don't like Sir Galacta Knight like that and you know it!" Faye argued.
"Uh huh, I believe you...just admit it already!" Saffron shouted.
"I don't!" Faye shouted back.

(Y/n), Mollie and Meta Knight just watched it all go down. "Normal, box-standard girl fights. Nothing too shabby but they can get out of hand faster than Sonic can trip, fall and break his neck." Mollie smirked.
"Excuse me?" (Y/n) snickered.
"Hah, tell me everything I just said is not true though. Exactly." Mollie argued.

The girls continued their argument for another solid hour. Any maid that was working in that room felt awkward for intruding but ignored them.

Eventually, the argument drew to a close, with Faye being more mature and walking away.

"I swear to god, I'll report you to Lady Marie if you aren't careful." She threatened under her breath.

"Lady Marie? Whose that?" (Y/n) asked.
"She's who they work under. Lady Marie has trained them for many years and taught them how to control their powers and such. Nothing too impressive." Mollie shrugged.

They watched as the two wandered off in different ways. Neither of them said a word, they were both that annoyed.

"We should probably do something about that.." (Y/n) whispered, pointing to both of them.

Mollie nodded, she couldn't agree any more than she did.

"How long will they be like this?" Meta Knight asked.
"Pft, you never can tell. The spats that girls have can be catastrophic and take months for them to rebuild their friendship. Neither of them will want to apologise or be in the wrong so... we're screwed." Mollie snickered.
"Oh god, don't get me started on girl fights.." (Y/n) growled,"Girls are actual demons when they're mad."
"I'll keep note of that, then." Meta Knight said.

The rest of the day went completely fine, Faye and Saffron kept their distance and nothing happened.

As the sun set, Faye spread her feathered wings and set off for the skies. Nobody knew where she was off to but her.

When she returned, a small girl came with her. The little girl's hair was so long it reached her ankles. It faded from brown to blonde and was up in two pigtails. She wore silver rounded glasses decorated with butterflies. The girl had on a blouse with a pastel green pleated skirt attacked to suspenders. Her socks surpassed her knees, reaching her thighs and on her feet she had black shoes with velcro strap.

The long sleeves of the girl flapped in sync with her red feathered wings. When she landed, she brought a sudden warmth with her.

"Lady Marie's child will be watching us for the time being, to ensure that there is no bad behaviour." Faye smirked.

"Why is there a random child on board? Where did you take her from?" (Y/n) awkwardly asked.

"Like I said, this is Lady Marie's child. Her name is..I forgot her name." Faye stammered.

The girl looked at her with her sparkling turquoise eyes and timidly told her name.

"Oh, right. Her name is Holly." Faye informed them,"She is Lady Marie's daughter, princess of Card Kingdom."

Holly looked uncomfortable getting so much attention. It wasn't as if she knew her way around the ship, though, so she had high risk of getting lost.

Well, they thought so at least.

She wandered away as they were arguing about whether she could stay or not.

Holly found her way to the pilot's cockpit and met with the Meta Knights. "Woah, what's a kid doing on board?" Captain Vul squawked.
"Did Meta Knight let her on?" Axe Knight asked, turning to Trident Knight.

Sailor Waddle Dee approached her and introduced himself.

She timidly smiled and introduced herself as well,"I'm..Holly..daughter of the Queen, Princess of Card Kingdom."

They all stared at her when she said she was a princess. As they looked, she nervously played with her fingers. "Does Sir Meta Knight know you're ok board?" Sailor Waddle Dee questioned.
"Well..he saw me land so I guess.." she softly whispered.

She turned her head to a side so she could see the doorway. Footsteps came from behind the door. Holly could tell who they belonged to, solely based on the fact that they sounded familiar.

When Meta Knight opened the door, Holly wasn't too surprised to see him. "Finally, I found you.." he smirked.

Holly wiped her right eye and gave a tired smile. "Yeah, you did. Why'd you come all this way just to find me, though?"

"To make sure that you aren't doing anything wrong. I don't want my ship crashing again because of some child running around wrecking the place." He told her.

"Well...w-why would I do that? The Halberd is pretty expensive to rebuild and I wouldn't want you to have to put up with the hassle." She replied, looking a little bit upset.

Faye came running behind. "Holly, C'mon. You can't be running around the Halberd like that." She scolded.

The girl stared Faye in the eyes and disappeared.

"Holy-" Faye gasped. "She can teleport?"
"I just hope she won't cause any chaos.." Meta Knight mumbled.

It took them a while to find her again. Whenever they got close, she would teleport off again. Eventually, she stopped on the deck.

She crossed her legs and hovered in the air in wait.

Both of her seekers found her at the same time. They refused to approach her in case she would teleport off.

"That was a fun game of hide and seek. It took you a while to get the hang of it but you got it in the end." She smiled. "I think that you both did very well so you can have this prize."

She put her hands forwards and a massive bag of gold appeared before them. "Split it equally, yeah?"

The gold in the bag was shining brighter than the glistening stars that filled the night sky.
