Goodbye

##carla##

I didn't sleep; I still couldn't believe what happened last night. I hoped it was not a dream.

##Johny##

I was exhausted; I had never delivered so much juice in my life. Carla looked soo cute lying there. Wanting me to do things to her

Sarah: Prince?

Johny: Sarah?

Sarah: We gotta go?

The next minute my Dad was calling us downstairs.

Dad: If you don't want to go, you don't need to, but the kid's sponsor program is looking for two mentors; the program is about one week.

I could tell that was the kings doing; He had different programs for us to travel to and from Earth without any alerts of missing children. Knowing I had no choice, I agreed.

Dad: Great, their bus leaves in ten minutes.

I ran upstairs and grabbed my cell phone first; before anything else afterward, we left. The bus looked ordinary; it said the name of the daycare on the side. The bus would drive in a circle to let the parents know we have left. Later turn invisible ready to take the Sky. What was once kids become full-grown adults and beasts alike. Sarah's body also changed to Her true form. Purple diamond eyes, Different Galaxies displayed on her body, she often wore her soft green scale body, she felt more comfortable with that. In my planet, your strength is measured by the number of stars you possess, for Her body to be completely covered with stars, that just come to show she is a force to be reckoned with.

Sarah: Aren't you going to change my prince?

Johny: Not yet.

Everyone on the bus bowed their heads to us, refusing to look up so they don't offend. She waved her hands, and everyone stood up and took their seats. Instalaxia was 30 minutes away. But I wonder why the sudden call. "We had arrived, the bus announced."

Sarah: Please change, be respectful to your father

She said in a stern voice.

Johny: Okay.

My hair turned whiter than snow, dark blue rubber skin, diamond shape hazel eyes, my entire body was covered with planets, stars, and different cosmos not known to men. I had a long purple cape dragon and lion behind me. Yes, they're real. They awaken when I am in trouble. A bright star shines under my neck. Pure light circled my head.

Sarah: Simply breathtaking, my prince.

My phone was ringing. It was Carla. I almost dropped the phone at how fast I was trying to answer.

Johny: Hey

Carla: Good morning

Johny: How did you sleep?

The security greeted us, one-eyed goblins. They had gray dried-out skin and drools coming out of their mouth. They explained my father, the King had sent them to pick Sarah and me up and drive us safely to the castle. My sister looked at me as I looked at her; my father would never say safe travels. He would say terrified travel. That was our keyword.

Johny: Don't alert the citizens

I told her telepathically, just get in the car. She nodded.

Sarah: Thank you. Safe travels, you say?

Goblin#1: Yes, mam

Sarah: Thank you.

Carla: Hello?

Johny: Hey babe, I gotta call you back, okay?

Carla: Okay.

I put the phone safely inside my bag in the front pocket. I cannot afford to lose this phone.

Johny: Let's go, sister

I said telepathically. I drew out my fire and ice sword because goblins like them can toughen their bodies until they are as hard as rocks. With this sword, I would be able to melt or freeze them in place when I wanted to; it was the best defense. I turned my body into an explosion exploding the vehicle we were in.

Goblin 1: What are you doing, your highness?

Goblin 2: Yes, your highness, please.

I flew up in the air to scope the area.

Sarah: There are ten waiting for us 15 miles from here.

I grabbed one of the Goblins, flying with him in the opposite direction from the ambush. My sister followed me.

We knew the direction to the castle very well. Its light was a guide to lead us back no matter how far we royals wandered off, plus my Dad would leave me in the woods to find my way back. Saying, "How do you expect to be king if you can't find your way home?" it'll take me days; I had to hunt for food. Therefore he can't tell me that's the way to the castle. The crown and the gray goblins were not friends; since they live in the same kingdom, we were cordial to each other.

Johny: If you make your body hard, so help me, Universe, I will cut you open and skin you alive. You don't know the

Consequences of your actions.

Goblin: I am sorry, I'll behave. Please let me explain.

We were a few feet from the palace.

Johny: You have three minutes before I reach the castle. I will declare war on your entire family.

Goblin: They are prosecuting your cousin today. They branded her as a traitor for revealing your location to me. We are in love; my parents manipulated me to tell them Where you were. Your Dad found out and put a warrant on her. It's because she trusted me that this happened. I got some of my friends to contact your home dad to get you here to talk to you to see if you would plead on her behalf.

There was soo many tears and snot; He was completely repulsive.

Sarah: This might be good for your reign if you help him.

She told me telepathically.

Johny: When is the prosecution?

Goblin: In 4 hours

Johny: Fine, but you come to the castle

Goblin: You could imprison me for my crime against the crown; just don't kill my beloved. I know I am not much of a looker, but she liked me for me.

"wait for me; I'll be home soon, Carla," I thought.

Johny: Fine.

##Carla##

What can He be doing for him not to call me back yet?

I would go to his house but am afraid I would be tongue-tied with embarrassment if I said the wrong thing. I should stay home.

Mom: It's noon your not getting up today?

She said, standing by my door, smiling at me on the bed, wide awake.

Dad: Did you get sunburned from the beach yesterday?

Carla: No, I don't have anything to do.

Mom: Watch some television or something. Me and your father are going to the doctor, I am officially two months today.

Carla: Congratulations, mom.

They skip out the door. Why hasn't He called yet?

##Johny##

I went to the castle, demanding to speak to my King. I proceed to my chambers, anxiously awaiting the arrival of my father. My father comes in. I bowed as usual.

Dad: What are you doing here? Weren't you supposed to be on Earth?

Johny: Yes, as the crown prince, I must take responsibility.

Dad: What do you mean by that?

Johny: I told my cousin about my whereabouts, confirming it was okay to share it with her boyfriend.

Astound by the new information.

Dad: Why would you do that? That can be dangerous.

Johny: It's not her fault someone might have overheard her father am to blame.

It was true. I told my cousin where I was going, but I never told her to share it with anyone. You do stupid stuff when you are in love. I get it, cousin.

Dad: How do we not prosecute?

Johny: Say the future King pardon her

Dad: That would show how merciful you are!

I wanted to tell my Dad about the kidnapping but decided not to. My father had several forms, the one He was in now had a white beard with golden tips. His body was white as snow with a soft glow. His clothes were pure gold with Jewels from the most sacred tree. His cape split in two; one lion, another was a dragon.

Dad: Where is Sarah?

Johny: Coming by foot, I went ahead to make sure it's safe here at the palace. May I see my cousin?

Dad: Yeah, she's in the dungeon 3rd floor.

I bowed my thanks as I left.

The dungeon was no place for a lady; it smelled like death, mold that kills, or rats that will eat your flesh regardless if you are alive or not; if they found you sleeping. I finally made it to her cell; she was sitting on this chair in her room; her sparkly orange tail had gotten longer since the last time we met. Her skin was tangerine orange, with long luscious brown hair. My cousin was part of the siren tribe.

Johny: If the rats get that tail of yours, it'll be the end of you, Amanda!

She turned to see me grabbing the keys from the desk in front of her cell. Every dungeon floor had a primary desk where the soldiers were located.

Johny: Where are the soldiers on this floor?

Amanda: There isn't any; I guess the King didn't think I deserved it.

I open the cell door and ask her to follow me. I went to the castle's west wing and found a female servant to tend to her, she may not be a princess, but she is still related to royals.

I went back to my chambers to call Carla.

Carla: Hello

Johny: Hey baby

Carla: Don't hey baby me, it's 2 o'clock

She missed me soo much she couldn't help but get upset when I am away from her. I can't wait to share all of this with her.

Johny: My Dad signed us for a kids camp last minute. They were short-handed.

Carla: You could have told me I would gladly go with you.

My Queen would go wherever her King commands.

Johny: If you don't hear from me every second of the day, it's because I'm doing something, not because I don't miss you.

Carla: Okay.

I can hear her calming down.

Carla: Am bored

Johny: You're saying you bored without me?

Carla: I am saying I am bored.

Johny: Did you sleep well?

Carla: Yeah, thanks to you

I know she's blushing and smiling through the phone as she replies

Johny: Am glad my queen.

Carla: Um, did you like it? You left before I asked?

Johny: Am afraid I would devour you if I had stayed.

Carla: Um

I know

Carla: Will we ever... You know... um

Johny: Yeah, I want to do it on our wedding night.

There was a knock on the door.

Johny: I gotta go, talk to you soon.

I didn't wait on a response; I hung up.

Johny: Amanda, what's wrong?

Amanda: Sarah just told me of my beloved crimes; please don't punish him. You could take me back to the cells right now. I would go without any fight.

She pleaded; wait, if she knows, so does my Dad? I called my sister telepathically to my room this instant. In a few minutes, she arrived.

Sarah: Yes, young prince.

Johny: Did you tell father about the abduction?

Sarah: Not yet. I was on My way now, young prince.

Johny: Good. Do not tell him.

Sarah: Young prince am not sure that's wise; he abducted you; He should pay the price?

Johny: We both know the price is his death.

Sarah: He should have thought of that.

Amanda: Please, no

She cried.

Sarah: Cousin am sorry; I have no sympathy for whoever would put the prince in danger. You, out of all people, know the gray goblins don't like us ruling; they would rather one of their own on the throne; how could you be so idiotic?

Sarah scowled as she put her head down in shame.

Johny: That's enough, Sarah, I want this planet to be a peaceful kingdom before Carla, and I take the throne.

Sarah: Yes, your highness

Johny: If we executed the leader's only son, that would be a war I cannot afford.

Sarah: What do you mean? We have the strongest army in all Instalaxia.

Johny: If they know I was on Earth, they can take hostages; that hostage would be the most precious thing to me. I can't let that happen; as a prince, I am disappointed in the young goblins' plans, but as a being, I could understand their intentions.

Sarah: I see

Johny: Where is He now?

Sarah: In the dungeon.

Johny: Let him go. Tell him to wait for Amanda. She will be released to him by the end of today.

Sarah: Not banish for all eternity, sire?

Johny: No, I will bless their alliance; the goblins care about family. If Amanda Marries their heir, then they will have no choice but to protect us as their family.

Sarah: That is their secret code. Whether they like you or not, once you are family, they will protect you with their last breath.

I almost didn't notice Amanda crying.

Amanda: Thank you, young prince. Am soo hopeful for the future?

I dismiss them asking Amanda to return to her room while I sort things out. I am wondering what went on when I was not here? Every crime to the King deserves the death penalty.

##Carla##

Did He say marriage? "oh my," I could feel my face turning red. He said He liked it. He asks me how did I sleep? is like He knows the activity has worn me out. What did He mean by devouring me? I would love to know, did he say He wants me to wait until our wedding night? I plan on getting married at 25 to start my family, and I don't know if I could wait that long. I've waited for so many years already. I was excited to see my parents coming back from the doctor's.

Mom: Hey honey

Carla: Hi, Mom

Mom: What's the matter?

Carla: Am bored out of my mind.

Mom: There is this couple show me, and your Dad started, care to join us?

My Dad was coming inside with baby items.

Carla: Sure, why not?

The show was pretty interesting. It was about these girls who have no home training, fighting over the stupidest things. I honestly think Johny would not care much for it, but maybe me and my mom could watch it. My Dad went to sleep on the couch. She did not even notice it, focusing on the show. We ordered pizza while continuing to watch the show. It was pretty cool. I decided to call it a night; my Dad left soo long ago and went straight to bed.

Mom: Tomorrow then? I want to see if the blond girl confronts the brown hair girl.

I took a bath and went to bed.

Universe lady: You are in danger!

Carla: What?

Universe lady: Someone is after your life.

Carla: Me? it can't be?

Universe lady: You have but one day to make up an excuse; I have to bring you to Instalaxia.

Carla: Wait, what?

Universe lady: I don't have time to explain. If you can't find an excuse in time, I will send my faithful servant to assist you.

Before I could say another word, she vanished. The next morning my mother cooked breakfast. I was not hungry. The dream wouldn't leave my cognitive.

Carla: Don't you have work, mom?

Mom: No, I hired extra help at the shop. I cannot take the smell of the herbs over there; they did not use to bother me. Lately, I felt suffocated.

Carla: It's the pregnancy

Mom: I had a feeling.

We watch the show for the remainder of the day. I love my mom soo much. I again said good night first.

The next morning was strange. Reaching downstairs, I saw two monks, hands behind their back, standing in a military stand. I giggle to myself because I never knew Monks actually existed.

Both my parents were sitting on a chair, talking with them. My parents looked Hypnotized as they hiss like a snake.

Mom: We should send our Daughter with you to get some martial art training; she has been bored all summer

She repeated back to them blankly.

Carla: Stop it. What are you doing to my parents?

Monk#1: Sorry, my future Queen, we have been instructed to take you with us.

Carla: By who?

Monk#1: By lady universe, we have reason to believe the beings who want your dead will be here this afternoon.

By their stance, I could tell I had no chance of defeating them. Lady universe and I have a lot of conversations in my dreams. I've grown to trust her.

Carla: What about my parents?

Monk#1: We have prepared a nice romantic full, expense getaway for your parents; they will be safe.

Monk#2: I can guarantee I will protect them until my last breath.

I will not fail you, my Queen.

He Said while bowing His head.

Monk#1: Please come along.

Carla: Where are we going exactly?

Monk#1: Instalaxia.

Carla: I have no say so?

Monk#1: Am afraid not my Queen.

Isn't this some bull? I am pretty sure I will be sold off to human trafficking or, worse, sent to a mental institution. I want my mom and Dad to be safe.

Carla: I want to see them every day.

Monk#1: We have wells that reveal all; now get your things, please.
