Seeing Jasper and Diamond off, as they wanted to spend the whole day together, Icelyn left her unit, wanting to explore the Land of Aurora even more.
Walking outside, the school compound, and towards the park, she came across Parrot who was selling ice cream to children at the back of an Icecream Truck.
Looking around and seeing that his boss was not around, she secretly climbed into the van while he was still selling ice cream to his customers.
Waiting for the last of his customers to leave, she drove the van, the second she was sure that none of the children were dangerously close.
"Woo! Hoo!" She screamed out loud.
"Icelyn! What are you doing?! Drive me back to the park. My boss will fire me!" A panic Parrot yelled out from the back.
No, he won't. I will drive you around for an adventure and he will not fire you. I will talk him out of it. Care to join me in the front pessangers seat?" She turned around giving him a wink.
"Oh, alright........"Making his way to the front pessangners, Parrot sat beside Icelyn.
"Good boy", she said placing her hand on his right thigh.
Before Parrot could say anything, she place her index finger on his lips, giggling at him just as he blushed. "Don't be Dopey........."
Driving the van around the Land of Aurora, Icelyn enjoyed the view. "Wow you live in a beautiful place. You should cheer up and not be so serious."
"Why?"
Grinning at Parrot with a smirk, she stop the van at the Tower of Aurora. "Isn't it a tall place? What shall we do? I know lets head up and chill. Come up with me. I am taking the keys with me".
Having no choice but to comply, the boy in green having no choice but to follow Icelyn's lead, he joined her in the tower.
"Good day. You would need a past to get across." A young man dressed as a security guard, two years older than Icelyn and Parrot stop their way.
Looking at his badge, it said above his name: In Training, indicating he is only 18 years old.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
"How about this?" Walking closer to the young man, she proceeded to plant a kiss on his lips.
"Go right ahead." The security guard allowed Icelyn and Parrot to go pass.
Taking the lift which moved surprisingly fast, due to its high tech, they were taken all the way to the 100th floor, which was the roof of the tower.
Feeling the wind blowing on her face and her blue hair backwards, turning to Parrot, she yelled out, "Are you having a good time."
"The wind could blow my glasses off." Parrot complained.
"Don't be Dopey." Pretending to frown, she gave him a cutesy pout before grinning. "I have the keys remember."
Parrot could do nothing but sit down on a metal bench left on top of the tower. Icelyn moments later, lay down on his lap falling asleep.
Hours later, waking up, still lying down on Parrot's lap, she grinned.
"Alright lets go. I see you must want to return to your boss."
Getting her head off his lap, taking him by the right hand, she led him to the lift and down the stairs.
"See you later." Blowing a kiss at the young security guard before driving the Van and Eagle back to the park.
Upon reaching the park, a middle age man was waiting for them.
"I am sorry, sir. She......." Parrot who was trembling was interupted halfway by his boss.
"I need someone to drive my van around. Young lady, would you like to work for me?"
"I surely would. Thank you." Icelyn grinned at the man, playing innocent at the same time.
As they walk back into the school compound, Parrot asked her. "How did you do that?"
"Did what? That is just the natural me. I told you there was nothing to worry about". Without waiting for a reply or looking back at Parrot to say goodbye, she ran off into her apartment and unit.

Walking back into his apartment, the Peridot apartment, which was only two blocks away from the Sapphire apartment, Parrot was stop by a dark entity. "Hey there Parrot!"
"Who are you?"
"I am Mr Z. You have been living a miserable life haven't you?" Turning into his humanoid form, the dark enitiy grew golden hair and green eyes. At 6 ft 3 inch, he was towering over Parrot who is only 5 ft 6 inch.
"What?"
"That is right. I have come to make you a deal."
"I know you have made people cut their fingers for their blood haven't you?" Parrot retorted. No way.
"Well, well, ain't you a smart one. Let me tell you something. I will give you a taste of my powers for three months. You can decide if you want to join me or not."
"Alright."
"It is done then. Tomorrow, you will feel the difference, no actually at the stroke of midnight. Trust me, I know how you feel. I have been rejected myself. The King threw me out of his kingdom, and the headmaster always restricts my work."
"Fine then. May I go now ?"
The tall man briefly glowed bright green before disappearing into thin air as black smoke.
Feeling tired from a days work, Parrot went to his closet to get his towel before heading into his shower in his studio, thinking about Icelyn.
Thinking about his best friend angered him. He had never been a true friend to him and had always outshine him in every way.
"Tonight, I will take what is mine by force." Parrot who was taking a shower was unaware that the dark powers from Mr Z were slowly creeping into him, working in his personality.
Finishing his bath, Parrot put on some clothes before turning on the television to watch Spiderman 3 just as it ended much to his disappointment.
