A warrior and a friend(Private)

"That sounds like a big mission to me but I'm sure with us working together, we will have your kingdom back and this spell broken!" I smiled with excitement as I went to catch up with her but I just hope I would be a big help to her when we get to her kingdom. At least it would be better than where I was from males thinking females were not good for war but this may show them they are wrong about females and to see how strong they really are.

"Yeah I know it does, but we can do it. Besides I think Pascal here has a plan. We're going to use his tiny size to our advantage. If we can get in there, we can find the bottle she made me drink that turned me into a cat into the first place. He can bring it back to us and then we can somehow use that to our advantage in the process of getting back my kingdom, and pardoning you from the torture you're to receive for pretending to be a man and going into the army. I'll figure a way around this, I promise."

I smiled and we continued to head off to my kingdom. It felt like on foot, it would be a longer distance this time around than the last. But that was okay, it would give us time to perfect our plan and get everything arranged the way we want it.

OOC: I'm kinda winging it right now. Do you remember how it was supposed to end? The time that I told you my idea right in the chatbox?

ooc:i think so but if I am wrong, can you tell me cuz I think it's when both of them win but still become childhood friends or so

bic:"Even you plan ahead than I do, that's really cool! I think this plan will work for us Utena. I just hope it gets you back your kingdom and breaks this curse." I was glad for this idea but I know we both can do it so we can help each other but since she's my friend, I want to be sure I help her first before myself.

OOC: Eh I guess I have to wing it then.

"Then you have to promise me something."

I paused and spoke, stopping my walking to look her square in the face, placing my hands on her shoulders.


"Promise me, you won't give up, no matter how much this mission takes out of you. You have to succeed. It's that or death, that's the torture they probably will deem worthy enough for you to have to deal with since you snuck into the army. And I'm not going to let you die, you have to not let yourself die either okay?"

I smiled.

ooc:When you do that, you always come up with cool ideas! XD

bic:I was surprised from her words but they really made me smile, knowing my friend was always so brave to do what she can to keep others safe. Smiling, I nod to Utena. "You got a deal but one thing. You do the same for me too. I don't want to lose a really great friend."

OOC: Thanks. ^^ I'll try my best then.

"You've got yourself a deal. No, better than that..."

I smiled and extended my hand with my pinky finger extended toward hers.

"You've got yourself a promise."

I had hoped she'd return the sentiment.

ooc:Yay!!!!!


bic:I smiled seeing her pinky but held out my own pinky to wrap around her own, shaking once. "Alright, it's a promise!"

"Alright, then it's a promise then."

I smiled and then let go of her pinky accordingly. I began on my strides back to the kingdom once more, finding it easier to walk now that I had someone in this with me. All of my steps seemed to be how I walked before, confident, not questioning on which path I should take or where I should step. I felt better, and I'd gained a new friend. I thought I had the plan down, and thankfully we had Pascal here to help us. Now... to put our plan to the test!

I was so excited about this and of helping my first and true friend get back what she lost cuz of this old woman. My eyes were full of courage and happiness as we made our way to our location with our new animal friend too. Maybe this was something I can prove that if we work together, nothing can stop us! As I followed by Utena's side, I had one little question. "Hey Utena? How do you think we will get their or what if the Old woman tries something like a plan to send some guards or hunters after us?"

"Hm, well I don't think she knows we're coming, so we're okay. I think she still thinks I'm under that curse that changes me into a cat. By the way, that felt weird. I can sometimes still feel like I have that tail that never gets tired. Or like I have to lick my paws."

I shivered and looked at my hands. I moved my fingers and flexed them.

"It sure is good to be human again. Now, how we go about this. I think, the best way to do this would be for me to put on the face that I would, the prince. And I'll stroll into town, and create a diversion which you will keep going. I will say you were a captured prisoner that I had taken in myself. And what's more is that you were fighting for the army, and you're female. The jailers will see to it that you're taken into a cell immediately. That means you're safe. If you're jailed, the mobs and the army that's upset with you, cannot kill you. Now all you have to do is wait there for me to bail you out. And in the meantime, Pascal will go into the palace and grab the thing that changed me into what I was. Then we'll have that in supply as well. After we do that much we should be in good shape. But..."

I continued to think out loud.

"Then the problem lies with defeating the old woman who has taken my spot and cursed the kingdom."

I smiled.

"Have any ideas?"

"Well I like being able to communicate and I can't if I'm a cat."

I chuckled.

"Well we won't know if the plan works until we try it out. So the smartest thing to do would be to try it out and then if it doesn't work, then try a new one. It's not really that big a deal. And we can't spend time worrying over something that may not even take place. Not to down on your suggestion though."

I smiled and then held her hand in mine as we continued to walk. I would need support for this, and that was the only means I could think of to encourage my confidence up again. I would have to play the part of a prince convincingly. I just hoped I could do it.

"Well, you do make a good point and I do really hope your plan works so alright, Utena. Lets do our best in this plan then! I'll be with ya all the way." I still was so excited and happy for this but something told me this was not going to be so easy even from trying to get her kingdom back but it was worth a shot.

"Yeah, well I'll try my best."

And as we made it to the kingdom gates, I looked upon them slightly nervously. I took a breath and closed my eyes. concentrating for a moment. I had to get rid of all my nerves and "get into character" per say. I needed to be able to convince all of all the partial lies I was telling. And I needed to convince myself that this plan would work. I was building my confidence, my boldness. And then I opened my eyes, alright, I was ready. Pascal jumped off my arm and down to the ground, scurrying to the palace. And then I began to stroll onto the kingdom grounds, acting like the royal I was supposed to be.

"Make way all. I have captured a prisoner. She was fighting for the army, yes SHE. I am the prince of this nation, hence I request to have her jailed until further command by me. Guards! Take her away. Make sure she is given the 'nice' cell. She is only a girl after all!"

I proclaimed loudly and boldly and everyone watching laughed out in harsh laughter, finding my sarcasm funny. All the men thought me to be alright, and admired me as the prince I was. One such man, the leader of the army, surprisingly approached me.

"So what is it you're going to do now prince?"

"I have some matters to attend to at the palace. I shall be seeing you."

And as I turned my back to him, Anthy was able to catch a small glimpse of my face, and I winked. Showing her, I didn't mean the things I said. The plan was already in motion. I just hoped it would work.

I was happy that Utena was planning all of this so well right now, it was like she was a total genius or something. Anyway, I went along with the plan before gently looking to see her talk in that brave bold voice but It did make me angry when they laughed, well some of them. Her words did prove something as I felt them taking me away but I did see Utena's wink that told me this was working so I was planning on going along with this as well. I just hope both of us will do this together no matter what.

I strode for the palace and then took a detour when no one was looking. I went down the alleyway around the palace structure and Pascal when under the door crack, diverging from his path with me. I smirked, I was ready and on a mission. If we could just accomplish this much, we'd be in good shape.

"Alright, now all I need to do is to free Anthy from there. I shall issue you an order to discharge her secretly, and allow me to take her into my own hands."

And I took the alleyway down to the prison where she'd been jailed about an hour ago, or so. She was in a holding cell, away from all the other creeps and lunatics that had committed crimes and such we didn't know what to do with. I didn't want her hurt. And even if her cell wasn't the cleanliest, it was sure more homely than that of the other ones.

"Yes, guards, I wish to take matters into my own hands with this one. Let the bitch go, I promise you, I'll handle it from here."

And then the guards, skeptically looked at me as if I weren't serious. I gave them an unamused look and sighed, then clearing my throat and crossing my arms.

"Do you know not who I am? I am prince, now free her. And if you do, you may get a little reward."

Happy about the possible "reward" I was to give them, they set her free and continued to guard the prison as I winked at them that I'd be back later. Things were already in motion. I ran to somewhere secluded so that no one could hear or see us and, because I'd run, I'd stopped to catch my breath, looking at Anthy with a smile.

I didn't look at any other of the prisoners that was locked up down here in their own cells but I was just focusing on this mission me and Utena was doing. Quietly, I looked up to see her show up but speaking to the guards that was watching me. Listening quietly, I was really impressed with how well she was doing with her plan and even really excited that we were getting closer to fixing everything. When she smiled at me, I gave a small smile and a nod to her to hope she will be okay since she is my friend.

"Okay, we have some part of the plan done. That was the most work, I'd say. Now just comes the precise stuff. Now that we have accomplished to make it here, we have to find a way into the castle and then finish it off somehow. But that I haven't thought of yet."

I sighed and thought out loud for a moment, having her in my company. I placed my hand to my chin. Well, we were in the kingdom, not in the middle of wilderness, we had people and other resources we could use. I just needed a way into the castle, and now that I had Anthy freed, I very well couldn't let her be seen by the townspeople so soon after she had been imprisoned. This would be tricky indeed.

So far, Utena's plan has been going really well so far but now I was really wondering what she had planned for her next step. My eyes looked around but then thinks to help out in some way. "Well, we could do some costumes...you know, something to hide our appearance." she said thinking a bit more. It might work but I didn't know how well.
