“WHEH! Why I wish our room wasn’t so far,” Aze said, dragging Fala along the ground. She was in the mid-point between the bathroom and their rooms. “At least this steam engine isn’t moving,” Aze realized what she said, stopped moving, and listened for the whistle. After looking around she sighed in relief, “Thank god he didn’t hear that.”
Aze resumed dragging her sister across the ground and as she reached a cage section of the steam engine. She saw what looked like a person standing in front of the cell. When Aze got close enough, she got a better look at the girl. The girl has long white hair that reflects the sun’s rays. She was wearing a white plain dress that blended into her pale skin. On her head sat a long white sun hat with a black flower on the side.
“Must be one of the Uppers, but would one be doing out here at a time like this?” Aze thought to herself. As she passed the girl, the girl stopped Aze to ask her a question.
“Excuse me, I seem to be lost. Can you tell me where I’m at?” The girl turned towards Aze.
Aze made eye contact with the girl’s crimson eyes, “Where are you heading?”
“Oh! Silly old me!” The girl chuckled, “I’m trying to the Naboo Aqua-Aqua... the area with the sea animals and fish. Is this the place?”
“No, this is where we keep hazardous cargo. Don’t go near it.” Aze then pointed from where she had come from, “It’s further down. You’ll see a sign that looks like a delphinus.”
“Thank you!” The girl sang.
“... Good luck,” Aze said to the girl then continued to drag her sister.
----------------------------------------
Some Time Later. After Aze dragged her sister's corpse... I mean sleeping, or whatever. She got... Oop's! I'm too early. What the fuck dude... You promised me a chapter but I'm stuck with some random dipshit. Well at least I have protagonist plot armor.
----------------------------------------
"That took forever," Aze sighed. She had finally reached their room. "Ventus clypeus," she said. A gust of air pushed the door open with a slam. She drags Fala over to a green bed and layed Fala down on it. The room they had was about the same size as Silver's but a little bit smaller. Next to the room is the kitchen where the smell of food flooded into their cozy little space.
"Smells like soup again," Aze groaned as she tucked Fala into bed. "Have a good rest," Azed kissed Fala's forehead.
"Álf-kunnr!" The cook yelled from the kitchen.
"Sigh... Don't call me that..." Aze grumbled under her breath. Aze quickly changed into an all brown cooking gown and rushed through the other door. "I'm here!" She shouted.
"Where's the other one?" The cook asked, cooking in a cauldron.
"My sister fell ill helping out with Mister Gunnar's tasks," Aze said, bowing her head.
"Well she is worthless after all. That lollygagging Álf-kunnr will end up in an early grave," the cook said.
Aze glares at the cook's comment. "It was a tedious task and my sister did it to the best of her abilities," she politely replied to the cook. "What if Mister Gunner heard this?"
"I would watch your tongue if I were you," the cook looked up, "I may not care what you are, but others do. It's just best to keep your head down and accept it. You're a smart young lass who knows her manners, but just be careful. He isn't going to be here forever..."
"Very well," Aze said.
Azed started to leave before the cook stopped her, "Put on the hat. I know you don't like it, but it'll help keep you safe. Not everyone is as welcoming to a Álf-kunnr like the boss and that boy are." Aze grabbed the hat and headed out to the dining area with a pot of soup.
----------------------------------------
Anyways... that was boring. Do you remember me leaving? Well let's see what I'm up to.
P.S. If you see W.R. stick a grenade stick down their throat, and let the fireworks bloom! I have a song about it but I'm not a Cruella... or a musical villain runned by an evil corporation. The last one to crack a joke like this was bought by one. You either die free or live long enough to be enslaved by a company.
----------------------------------------
In a laboratory or what these homosapiens call a magic room or some shit, sat a man in all red armor. He was busy doing some science crap on the counter. Looked like the cowboy was working with cells.
“Greetings Dr. Gero!” Rue said, kicking over some books.
“Looks like they’re two of you... interesting...” The cowboy responded
“Awwww... I was hoping to surprise you,” Rue cried, “So who’s the other little lovebird?”
“Well... she’ll be here any moment,” The cowboy said.
“Hello!!” A girl’s voice sang. It started taking the form of a black cloud shaped like a girl.
“Oh... it’s nobody important.” Rue responded.
“Is that any way to treat me?” The cloud girl asked.
“How else am I supposed to address a fax like you?” Rue smirked. Both of them ignored Gunnar.

"I’m not a fake! I just... just...” The cloud girl started stuttering.
“Get told what to say because... Oh, I forget... YOU CAN’T PROCESS YOUR VOCABULARY.”
"Hate to break up this party, but... I’ve got something better to do,” Gunnar reached for the switch under his desk but it was gone.
“Looking for this?” Rue held up the section of the desk where the button was.
"How did you do that?” Gunnar asked curiously.
“Magic, bitch. That’s how.” Rue sharply replied.
"Of course you're a dick."
"Well, at least I don't have the personality of a brick."
"I...” Rue left the cloud girl speechless. “Yeah... Well... I-I-I-I... What are you doing here?” She was now leaning on the table in an upset position.
“Well, I was visiting... Our dear old... period bather,” Rue poked Gunnar’s helmet. “So what’s your next trip on this hell ride!?”
"What do you think?"
"He hasn’t told me anything. So why would he tell you?” Asks the cloud girl.
“Well... Unlike you, I can be persuasive.”
"If you call being a dick persuasive.”
"I do actually... And thank you for the compliment.”
"Sigh..."
"No point in keeping it a secret now,” Gunnar stopped what he was going and got up. “I’m going to introduce a little ‘family time’ to each of them. A one-on-one experience.”
Rue didn’t respond a bit. “Ah, shit... I knew this would happen. I almost feel sorry for her.” He thought to himself. Rue then started speaking, “I don’t think that’s a good idea...”
"Is something bothering you?” Gunnar asked, making eye contact with an outline of Rue.
“Two things, actually. First off... WHERE THE FUCK ARE YOU!!!” He shouted, looking around. The cloud girl had vanished without a trace. After looking around, Rue turned back towards Gunnar. “Second, it will not end well if both of us are in the same room.”
"Why? I thought you’re... Sorry, I mean I thought they’re twins? Am I wrong?”
"How about we make a deal?" Rue smiled.
"Yeah... No...” Gunnar turned away, “You know...” Gunnar turned back around, “You really should check everywhere,” Gunnar flipped another switch that was disguised as a penholder.

----------------------------------------
Aze sat in a corner with a stained gown, crying.
“You alright?” Asked one of the waitresses as she passed by.
“Just fine,” Aze said, smiling and rubbing the tears away so that no one could see them. “Some of the guests spilled their hot soup. Nothing I couldn’t fix.”
“Well, alright... Finish up cleaning in the kitchen, and the chef said you could take the rest of the night off and make extra food for you and your friends.”
“Thank you,” Aze said, “I’ll make sure to finish up.” She smiled.
“I must say. I’m jealous of your looks. I can’t believe for Álf-kunnr you’re almost a hundred years old.”
“Thanks, but it’s not all that great...” Azed waited for the woman to walk away. “Well, I better get back to work,” She said to the waitress.
“As do I,” The waitress then left.
After the waitress left, Aze started chanting. She held her hand and bowed down, “O mater et pater de caelo in terram. Puer naturae placent mihi ferret opem. Et qui novit occulta opal. Qui autem abscondita tenebrarum. Mitte mihi auxilium. Et offer commutationem per orationes meas.” A gust of air blew around as it began to take a humanoid shape. The water rose from a giant bucket, resembling a four-armed creature. A total of five humanoid creatures made of water or air started cleaning up.
“There, all done. Work smart, not hard,” Aze left the kitchen back to her room. When she entered, she saw that Fala’s plate was partially eaten. Aze silently grabbed the plate and set it on a small nightstand. Aze then swapped out of her white gown and into some clothes that were piled up on the ground. She changed into a green adventure coat and brown pants. “Ok, I’m off Fala. See you later,” Aze bent over and kissed Fala on the forehead, and then left.
As she walked down the path, as she had earlier with her sister, she noticed more people were moving around. “Did something happen?” Aze thought to herself as she passed by. The cage had been broken from the inside, as if someone had escaped.
“Excuse me,” A man asked, stopping Aze.
“Yes?” Aze asked him.
“You were part of the team sent to take care of the ‘hazardous cargo’, right?” He asked her.
“Yes, I am.” She responded to him. “Is everything alright?”
“No, the cargo was damaged. And now contained,” The man responded.
“Is it severe?”
“No, when we found it, most of it was undamaged.”
“Sigh... I’ll make sure to report to Mister Gunnar as soon a possible.”
“Very well. You may go now.”
“Thank you,” Aze smiled. Aze continued to walk away from the scene. “Glad I’m not on clean-up duty.”
Aze walked a bit before reaching Silver’s room. She opened up the door to see Silver sleeping and L laying on top of him. “Just like siblings,” She thought to herself as set food down on a small nightstand.
“Smells good,” Silver groaned. He was partly awake, or Aze thought so.
“Shhh...” Aze gently whispered. She pulled out a blanket and covered both of them. “Good night,” Aze whispered and then left. Leaving Silver and L to continue sleeping.

“Fuck that stung!!” Rue rubbed his head and looked around. “Well, I’m back in a bathroom... and there isn’t anyone here. Well, gotta avoid that next time.” Rue then looked outside to see it was night.
“Oh SHIT!” He panicked. “I’ve been away too long!! I hope that silver boy or whatever didn’t do anything...” Rue looked toward the red door. “Then again... I’m in the mood to make someone suffer.”
Rue walked towards the door, “Something’s off... I don’t feel right...” Rue collapsed into the bathtub. “Shit!” He said slapping his face, “I forgot to ask more about those weird chemicals! Also...” He sat up, looking around the tub. “Huh... it’s not covered in piss and blood... And the tub is clean.” Rue got up from the tub and looked around. Knocking over any and everything within arm’s length.
“Hate to be the poor idiot to clean this up.” As Rue resumed walking towards the red door, he fell down again. He went down on his knees and clenched his stomach, “We really need to eat something soon or we’ll die... Or not... I don’t know what’s happening...” Rue started laughing, “And isn’t that exciting! Maybe I’ll go insane... Maybe... Gagh!”
Rue fell through the door into Silver’s room. “Look who’s sleeping... Huh... Something’s not right. You know that feeling where you had an expired egg salad sandwich and don’t feel well. But you don’t know why you feel like shit even though you knew it expired months ago? Well, it felt like someone stabbed me in the chest. I know you’re sleeping, but I just don’t care... Anyways... let’s get moving.”
Rue touched L’s forehead, “Time to wake up. There you go...” L got up and crawled out the front door and into the night.
