Golf Ball Royalty AU ask blog

There was a brief silence before the voice spoke again. "That sounded like Golf Ball.. maybe she's here too! Golfy, I'm coming!"

Hellooooo? Where are yoouuuu? What are you doing here?

"I got sent here by yoylite! Why are you here?"

I live here? Aren't you one of the townsfolk, shouldn't you know that?

"No, I don't think I've been here before. See, I was experimenting with the aforementioned yoylite and ended up here."

I've heard of that stone. How'd you get your hands on it??

There was something akin to heartbreak in his eyes, although it was hard to see as the two hadn't met face to face yet. "We.. got it from Freesmart. Together. Remember?"

... Freesmart? I think I've heard that name in passing? Also I don't know you. At least I don't think.

His voice sounded like he was ready to cry. "It's me, Tennis Ball."

Well I've heard of you, you're an inventor right- oh, uh, are you doing alright? You sound upset.

"Oh, uh, I-I'm fine.. it's just that you're my best friend, and I can't stand to hear you forget me."

She had parents here. What a crazy universe indeed. He tried to make himself scarce, before landing.. right in her room. "Oh hi Golf Ball."

Oh. Hello.

"This isn't a good hiding spot."

Not really no. Never really thought about that.

"Oh dear."

I can usually hear when they're approaching. I'll hide you if I hear them.

"Do you, perchance, know magic?"

Kinda. Not really. I'm not very good at it.

Well that solidified that this wasn't his Golf Ball. She turned up her nose at magic, calling it nonsense.

I wasn't supposed to tell you that. That's alright. You won't mention it right?

"Nope! My lips are sealed!" He smiled at her with all the love of a puppy.

"It is science! Well, specifically this." He held up the yoylite.

"I'd assume we're from alternate dimensions, since you don't seem to recognize me."

Well, why don't we properly introduce ourselves. My name is Golf Ball, heir to the royal throne and masterful inventor.

"I'm Tennis Ball, also a masterful inventor, and your best friend in another timeline."

Oh! Wonderful. I've never met another inventor before.. I wonder if there's a version of you In my world I can meet- I mean it's not that there's anything wrong with you it's just that you probably have to return to your own world, but you seem nice enough to where I hope that there's one of you in mine and we can perhaps be friends..

"Well, you did bring up hearing about me. So maybe there is!"

You're correct! I'm not sure if he'll be anything like you though... He could just be the same object by coincidence. Maybe I'll try to meet him sometime soon.. I've never had a friend before.

"Really?"

Mhm. Nobody in my family tolerates my ramblings and I'm not allowed to go out enough to make friends with civilians.

He was flabbergasted. "Why? As a princess, you should be allowed to know the subjects you will eventually rule."

My parents don't want anything to happen to me. It took them years to acquire an heir and they still haven't been able to get another. That's probably part of it. I don't understand what's so dangerous about the town though.

"Hmm.. well, there could be things like vampires, or werewolves, or dragons. Those are dangerous."

It was as if a lightbulb had appeared over his head. "I've got it! I can enroll as your guard, and we can go out together!"

Don't you have to go home though? And uh no offense but you're a bit underqualified

"Darn."

But it's a good idea in theory! I can do something with it.

"Oh! Hooray!"

"Oh my place where tennis balls are created-" Upon hearing this, Tennis Ball very wisely decided to jump out of the window.

Careful!

"Owwwww."

Just a moment! I have to have a brief conversation with my parents, I'll come to help you.

"Thank you." His voice was muffled from the bush he had landed headfirst in.

"I dunno. Do you have a lever or something?"

Uh. No. I haveee a rope? Maybe I could make something with it?

"That'll do."

He shuffled, grabbing onto the rope. "Got it."

He landed rather ungracefully in her room. "That's pretty useful! How come you never get to use them?"

Nothings ever really come up... Uh thank you though!

He smiled at her, a sad look in his eye.

Am I annoying you? People say I do that a lot

"No, it's just.. the more I hang out with you, the more I wonder how my Golfy is doing."

Oh! Well... I hope she's doing well...

There was a brief silence before the voice spoke again. "That sounded like Golf Ball.. maybe she's here too! Golfy, I'm coming!"

I live here? Aren't you one of the townsfolk, shouldn't you know that?

"No, I don't think I've been here before. See, I was experimenting with the aforementioned yoylite and ended up here."

I've heard of that stone. How'd you get your hands on it??

There was something akin to heartbreak in his eyes, although it was hard to see as the two hadn't met face to face yet. "We.. got it from Freesmart. Together. Remember?"

... Freesmart? I think I've heard that name in passing? Also I don't know you. At least I don't think.

His voice sounded like he was ready to cry. "It's me, Tennis Ball."

Well I've heard of you, you're an inventor right- oh, uh, are you doing alright? You sound upset.

"Oh, uh, I-I'm fine.. it's just that you're my best friend, and I can't stand to hear you forget me."

She had parents here. What a crazy universe indeed. He tried to make himself scarce, before landing.. right in her room. "Oh hi Golf Ball."

Oh. Hello.

"This isn't a good hiding spot."

Not really no. Never really thought about that.

"Oh dear."

I can usually hear when they're approaching. I'll hide you if I hear them.

"Do you, perchance, know magic?"

Kinda. Not really. I'm not very good at it.

Well that solidified that this wasn't his Golf Ball. She turned up her nose at magic, calling it nonsense.

I wasn't supposed to tell you that. That's alright. You won't mention it right?

"Nope! My lips are sealed!" He smiled at her with all the love of a puppy.

"It is science! Well, specifically this." He held up the yoylite.

"I'd assume we're from alternate dimensions, since you don't seem to recognize me."

Well, why don't we properly introduce ourselves. My name is Golf Ball, heir to the royal throne and masterful inventor.

"I'm Tennis Ball, also a masterful inventor, and your best friend in another timeline."

Oh! Wonderful. I've never met another inventor before.. I wonder if there's a version of you In my world I can meet- I mean it's not that there's anything wrong with you it's just that you probably have to return to your own world, but you seem nice enough to where I hope that there's one of you in mine and we can perhaps be friends..

"Well, you did bring up hearing about me. So maybe there is!"

You're correct! I'm not sure if he'll be anything like you though... He could just be the same object by coincidence. Maybe I'll try to meet him sometime soon.. I've never had a friend before.

"Really?"

Mhm. Nobody in my family tolerates my ramblings and I'm not allowed to go out enough to make friends with civilians.

He was flabbergasted. "Why? As a princess, you should be allowed to know the subjects you will eventually rule."

My parents don't want anything to happen to me. It took them years to acquire an heir and they still haven't been able to get another. That's probably part of it. I don't understand what's so dangerous about the town though.

"Hmm.. well, there could be things like vampires, or werewolves, or dragons. Those are dangerous."

It was as if a lightbulb had appeared over his head. "I've got it! I can enroll as your guard, and we can go out together!"

Don't you have to go home though? And uh no offense but you're a bit underqualified

"Darn."

But it's a good idea in theory! I can do something with it.

"Oh! Hooray!"

"Oh my place where tennis balls are created-" Upon hearing this, Tennis Ball very wisely decided to jump out of the window.

Careful!

"Owwwww."

Just a moment! I have to have a brief conversation with my parents, I'll come to help you.

There was a brief silence before the voice spoke again. "That sounded like Golf Ball.. maybe she's here too! Golfy, I'm coming!"

Hellooooo? Where are yoouuuu? What are you doing here?

"I got sent here by yoylite! Why are you here?"

I live here? Aren't you one of the townsfolk, shouldn't you know that?

"No, I don't think I've been here before. See, I was experimenting with the aforementioned yoylite and ended up here."

I've heard of that stone. How'd you get your hands on it??
