“(____)!”

You blink in surprise when the Queen scoops you up into a very tight hug. You grunt, not knowing she can be this strong.

“You didn't get hurt, no bruises, scratches?” She examines your face and your hands.

Cassandra is behind her with her arms crossed, glaring slightly, “You really had us worried. When I see Rider, I'm giving him a good punch to the face.”

You smile softly at Arianna, “I'm okay.” You let out a deep sigh, “I'm sorry. I was just hanging out with my….buddies at the wrong time.”

Arianna was dressed up with jewels and her crown, sighing softly, “But they said you were kidnapped.”

You chuckle sheepishly, “Not exactly kidnapped. I stumbles into them and somehow we were running from a broken dam.”

They stare at you and you blush in embarrassment, “They saved me, basically and that's why I'm here now.”

Arianna hums then smiles gently, “Okay, but please be careful.” She sighs sadly, “Try to have fun today, alright?” She kisses your forehead and walks off to her room.

You and Cass just stood there a bit confused. Cass kneels to you, “You know who to call if you're ever in trouble.”

“Owl. I know and I never got into serious trouble that I can't handle.” You hug her, “Don't work too hard Cassy!”

She pulls away, smirking, “Don't call me Cassy. But you should know I love working hard.”

You roll your eyes, “Yeah yeah.”

Skipping out to the festive streets, you smile at everyone's joyous mood and go down to the main event area. You spot Eugene watching Rapunzel getting her hair braided by the girls you pick flowers with. Not far, you see two guards getting closer and you run over to Eugene.

He yelps when you push his body down behind the small wall then wave at the guards who wave back happily. Max huffs and Eugene smiles thankfully at you.

You pat his head before petting Max, “Just let them have fun.” Max pouts and you two notice Eugene gazing in surprise fondness toward Rapunzel as she twirls with her beautiful braided hair.

Max neighs, smirking at Eugene and he gently shoves Max with a smile. “She's your light, Eugene. Don't lose her.”

You gently pet Pascal’s head as he squeaks happily and you walk off to maybe enjoy food. Suddenly, a hand pulls you into a deserted alleyway and you panic. That is until you see Varian smiling innocently, “Hi.”

“Varian!!”

He laughs and leans on the wall next to you. “What are you doing here?” You ask and you notice Varian didn't have his usual alchemy attire on. Meaning no gloves, goggles, or leather apron. He looked like an average everyday day boy.

“Dad and I decided to visit Xavier. He said I could hang out with you if I find you.” Varian chuckles nervously, “I'm still a little nervous going about big gatherings like this.”

You hum in thought and grin, taking his hand, “Come on.” Varian screams a bit when you run through the crowd, nearly knocking people over.

“What are we going to do?”
