Not that Kendra pt 2
Hello! This is adopted and continued from @fairyprincessofthedragons, and all credit goes to them. You can find pt 1 here: https://fairyprincessofthedragons.tumblr.com/post/616946763056726016/not-that-kendra.
After the coffee shop incident, the day went smoothly for Bracken and Kendra. They visited the gardens like they had planned, and ended up saving a small dragonfly fairy who had flown too close to a spiders web and been caught up, too flustered to use magic.
After a million and one thank-yous, she eventually flew off, presumably to brag to her friends that the Queen’s son and handmaiden had freed her.
Kendra watched the fairy fly off, and wondered where her fairy guards had gone when Bracken had dismissed them for the day. They had ended up becoming quite close, and taken to having ‘girl evenings’ every night when they could.
“Kendra, there’s something else I want you to see!” Bracken grinned at her.
“And what would that be?”
“A picnic!” he looked so excited Kendra couldn’t help but laugh. Sometimes her boyfriend acted like such a little kid.
“All right! Show me where it is, Your Majesty!” Kendra pretended to bow down, stopping in a shriek as Bracken tickled her mercilessly. In the end, an all-out tickle war made Kendra not only forget about the picnic, but also about Alyssa and her old friends. Bracken smiled. His plan had worked.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“All right girls. I finally got the information we needed! Kendra is in room 12, on the 8th floor.” Brittany sat down.
“How did you do it!? I’ve been trying for months!” Alyssa shrieked.
“I told the old lady who tidies the dorms that I was a late entry, and was trying to find where a friend was staying.” Alyssa only huffed, looking disgruntled.
“Anyways, Lyss, do you have a plan yet?” Trina interrupted the brewing argument. Bad feelings forgotten, Alyssa stood up, nodding enthusiastically.
“Yes! I finally do! What if we sneak in there tonight, and take her to my house! We all know she could sleep through a bomb going off next to her head.”
“Wouldn’t that be kidnapping?”
“Not if she’s our friend. Besides, it’s totally worth it!” the other two girls looked at each other and shrugged.
“Sure.”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
“Thanks Bracken, I really enjoyed our date today.”
“It was no problem.”
“How are you going to get home again? It’s a three hour drive, one if you go at Vanessa-speed. But you don’t even have a car.” Bracken hugged her.
“Raxtus dropped me off. He’s waiting for me in the parking lot now. See you later, Princess.”
“Bye!” Kendra’s fairy guards flew off the top of her wardrobe when Bracken left.
“You should get some sleep. You have classes tomorrow, and you need to study for that Calc test next week.” Kendra smiled at them gratefully.
“Thanks, girls.”
She was snoring within minutes.
“Perfect.” Alyssa grinned at Trina and Brittany. “I think she’s asleep.”
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kendra woke up being jostled around in the back seat of a slightly old and beaten up-looking car, head resting next to Trina, one of her old friends.
“She’s awake!”
“Yes, I am, and WHAT ON EARTH ARE YOU DOING!?” Trina winced and covered her ears. Kendra felt no remorse.
“DID YOU SERIOUSLY JUST KIDNAP ME?”
“It’s not kidnapping if it’s our friend.” Alyssa maintained. Kendra glared daggers at her.
“I beg your pardon, you have literally duct-taped by hands together, and chucked me in this car. That is kidnapping in my books!”
“Then the books you’ve been reading are too cliché. It’s more... taking someone against their will or knowledge, but definitely not kidnapping. Also, I child-locked the doors.”
Kendra growled, glaring at each and every one of her friends. She would have to wait for escape.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Bracken was halfway home on Raxtus when he got the distress signal. Two of Kendra’s fairies were flying towards him at top speed. When fairies flew, they could go FAST.
“My lord! We are so sorry! We have failed in our duty!” The two girls were clearly in distress, frantic and worried.
“Okay. Raxtus, can you please take us down? Thanks. When we touch down, can you please explain what happened?”
The second the dragon’s claws thumped down on the grass somewhere in the wilderness of Connecticut, the fairies swarmed Bracken again. How they managed to swarm him when there were only tow, he didn’t know, but they managed.
“It’s those girls- the ones that think Kendra is dead. They’ve kidnapped her!”
Bracken began muttering some very unprince-like things under his breath. It was a good thing the fairies had never learned to curse.
“Thank you girls. Do you know where they’re going?”
“They mentioned something about the leader, Alyssa. I think they were talking about going to her house.” Bracken whipped out his first horn. Its added power would help him reach out to Seth’s coin, even if the boy hadn’t begun the conversation.
“Seth, if, hypothetically, Kendra’s old friends had kidnapped her, where exactly is Alyssa’s house?” Seth’s groan reached the long distance.
“Seriously!? You do realize that you are TERRIBLE at keeping secrets, right Bracken?” The unicorn winced.
“Oops.” as Seth rattled off an address, Bracken was already rummaging through his bag. Thank goodness he had brought some walrus butter.
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Kendra was locked in the laundry as her friends whispered what to do with her on the other side of the door. Apparently they’d forgotten that she could hear every word.
“We can’t just keep her here!”
“Well, it’s not like we can take her back now, either.”
As the hurried conversation reached the hundreds in decibels, Kendra sighed and retreated to the tiny window.
And looked straight into one of her fairies’ eyes. Biting off a startled scream, Kendra took a few deep breaths.
“What are you doing here? You do realize that Brittany is terrified of bees, right? If she see you, you’re doomed.”
“Backup is coming. Prince Bracken says to tell you that he’s on his way. Make sure that you don’t leave, and try yo not be locked up. It’ll make his job easier that way. He says he brought butter. He lands in two minutes.” Kendra nodded her understanding, and walked to the door again.
“SHUT UP!” There was a startled silence, as Kendra broke up her friends’ argument. “Let me out of here, and let’s go sit down. I will make you some hot chocolate, and you can talk to me like civilized human beings, not imps.” The hot chocolate part must have worked, because soon Kendra was standing in the middle of the living room, her friends on couches, looking guilty.
Right on time, the doorbell rung, and Kendra strolled over to open it for Bracken. Raxtus was an invisible indent on the lawn. As she reached up to kiss her boyfriend, she heard Alyssa muttering to Brittany.
“What’s HE doing here?”
“I don’t know.”
“Did he follow us?”
“I didn’t see anything.”
Kendra grinned at him. “Come in. I was about to make some hot chocolate. Do you want to help?”
“Sure.”
They walked into the kitchen, and began to make five cups, plus a little saucer for the Fairies and a bowl for Raxtus. Bracken winked at Kendra, slipping out the door to deliver the bowl and saucer, before strolling back in to sit next to Kendra on the only available couch.
“Well? Drink up. It’s the truth you wanted, so it’s the truth you’ll get.” Kendra glanced at Bracken, who had his arm around her. “Did you tell Raxtus??
“He’s out there, fully visible, right now.” Trina shot a suspicious look at them.
“Who’s Raxtus?”
“A... friend. Have you had any hot chocolate yet?” Three nods. Kendra grinned evilly. “Well, go look outside the window.” The girls looked at each other curiously, and went to look. Brittany shrieked.
“THERE IS A DRAGON ON YOUR LAWN, LYSSA! A DRAGON! AND FIVE FAIRIES!” They turned to look at Kendra, who was laughing her head off on the couch.
“That was an even better reaction than I was expecting. Now, do you want to hear about why you all believed I was dead, buried a fruit, and what I’ve been up to the last few years?”
Their chat reached well into the morning, but Kendra was just glad that she didn’t have to hide from her friends anymore.
That is it! Hope you enjoyed it! Thanks again to @fairyprincessofthedragons!
