A short story about BB and Thad

Maya: How long will you stand there ... will you not enter?

Chase: Majesty, forgive me ...

Maya: What is there to forgive? Other than you taking your time to enter. Chase! Will you not greet me, sit with me ... talk to me ... all this formality ... maybe you will walk with me. It is so beautiful here ...

Chase: I am at your service as always, your majesty.

Angel: Chase ... don’t leave ...

Chase: Your lady awaits, and so does mine ... I have to check on her now, I need to know how she got here ...

Angel: That’s not what I meant ...

Chase: I know ... we’ll talk later, my love ... right now duty calls.

Angel: My hair is still a mess ...

Chase: Mmm ... yes ... I see ... you’re just a regular mess, what can I say?

Chase: Seriously Angel! Stop now! Aliana will forgive and forget soon enough that we ... weren’t following the rules of temple dress ... now ... don’t make me break them again ...

Aliana: Now .. let’s all get some clothes on ... what is this temple coming to ... no more decorum ... the princess walks around in travel clothes, she brings a girl who looks like a grease monkey, my assistant is basically naked ... can we all follow custom from here on out?

Angel: (flushes bright red) ... my lady ...

Maya: I apologise ... we should not have entered ...

Aliana: Princess! Yes, maybe that would have been wise ... I will assign you quarters right this minute. Although I doubt we’ll be staying long ... 

Angelica: Your majesty ... (curtsies upon recognising her).

Aliana: Oh! ... (Ahem) ... I don’t mean to break up this happy re-union, but there’s someone here that you’d like to see ...

Case: Silver! Off the bed! What are you doing, boy?

Angel: Bad Wolfie! Can’t you see we’re talking here?

Chase: Urgh! Seriously, Silver?

Angel: I think he remembers early mornings in the forest. You used to walk every day ... I guess that means, you have to take him ...

Chase: Did we fall asleep like this?

Angel: Yes, and what a happy place to wake up ... in your arms ...

Chase: Why can’t every day begin like this?

Angel: Chase, if only you could see, it could!                                             ♪

♪ I walked across an empty land I knew the pathway like the back of my hand I felt the earth beneath my feet Sat by the river, and it made me complete

Oh, simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old, and I need something to rely on So tell me when you're gonna let me in I'm getting tired, and I need somewhere to begin

Is this the place we used to love? Is this the place that I've been dreaming of?

So why don't we go? Somewhere only we know ...♪

Angel: (whispers) Yes, you are ...

Chase: Angel, you need to forgive me ... I know you’re still angry. Kiss me and forgive me now.

Angel: Chase .. I don’t ...

Chase: I’m so sorry, I thought maybe you felt the same ... that you could move past it ...

Chase: I’m an idiot ...

Angel: I better go, you have an early morning. I loved catching up by the fire with you, Chase. I was cold after the snow. Don’t look at me like that ...

Chase: I can’t take my eyes off you ...

Angel: Chase, I’m going, let’s not start all of this again. I thank you for a lovely evening ...

Chase: I want you to stay ... stay with me tonight ..

Angel: ... I ..

Angel: You’re grey ...

Chase: And you haven’t aged.

Angel: It’s still you, I can find the youth I grew up with. Somewhere, underneath all that grey ... Now let’s get this old man inside before the hardships age him more (giggles at vexing him with her teasing).

Chase: Let me stay outside ... one more minute and I will abide.
