Peggysous Week Day Four: Dahlia

Read on Ao3 @fandomsandxfiles-writes

Dahlia: Staying graceful under pressure, especially in challenging situations, Drawing upon inner strength to succeed, Traveling and making a major life change in a positive way, Standing out from the crowd and following your own unique path, Staying kind despite being tested by certain life events, Finding a balance between adventure and relaxation, Commitment to another person or a certain ideal.

***

Starting a fledgling intelligence agency isn’t easy. It especially isn’t easy when one is a woman in the 1940s. Peggy Carter has her work cut out for her. Luckily, she’s got a steady partner that is ready to take up the slack and keep them afloat.

Peggy is not one for ladylike behavior, as well her mother would say. Still, she does maintain a certain sense of decorum, especially when she’s working. She’s a professional, and a mighty good one at that, and everyone else better damn well get used to it.

That doesn’t stop her from hurling her coat onto the coat rack, dropping her bag heavily onto the nearest chair, and letting out a stream of curses that would blister the ears of most soldiers.

Daniel chuckles as he locks the door behind them. “So, bad day?”

“I swear, if one more person asks me if my ‘emotional profile’ fits the standard of work I’m trying to accomplish,” Peggy growls, storming toward the rest of the house, “I am going to introduce them to a severe attitude adjustment.”

“That…may not have the effect you want.”

“No, but it will give me some much needed stress relief.”

They make it to the kitchen, Peggy throwing herself into one of the chairs, Daniel propping his crutch against the counter as he starts prepping things for dinner. Peggy pinches the bridge of her nose, sighing in frustration.

“If I had known how difficult it would be to convince people that we need to be able to operate outside of the traditional branches, I wouldn’t’ve asked them in the first place.”

“You know how hard it is to talk people out of things they think will get them power,” Daniel says, filling a glass with water and setting it at Peggy’s elbow, “especially the kind of people we meet in this job.”

“And here I thought most people came to the SSR to save the world.”

“I think they do.” Daniel opens the fridge and takes out a bag of vegetables. “They’re just not completely sure what that means anymore.”

Peggy huffs, watching Daniel produce a cutting board. “I’m not sure I do either.”

Daniel pauses, glancing over his shoulder to see Peggy running a finger thoughtfully around the rim of her glass. She catches him looking and smiles sadly. He turns around, leaning against the counter, waiting.

Peggy sighs, shifting her weight in the chair.

“I know I keep coming back to this,” she murmurs, looking down, “and at some point, I’ll have to accept that it’s different.”

“But…?” Daniel prompts.

“But,” Peggy sighs, “during the war, everything was…simpler. There was my side and there was the other side. And everything that we had to do was…fine. As long as it was to help win the war.”

“And now nothing is simple,” Daniel finishes, “we don’t live in a black and white world anymore.”

“But we never did,” Peggy says softly, “did we? All the things we did in the war, they were only fine because we were at war. And now…”

She lifts her shoulder in an exhausted shrug. “Now I don’t know when I’m at war and when I’m not.”

Daniel taps his fingers idly against the counter, thinking. Peggy’s right. The truth rings silently in the kitchen, too loud. Too quiet.

“We have to do our best,” Daniel says, breaking the silence, “that’s all we can do.”

“And what if the best thing to do is start over?”

Daniel shrugs. “Then we start over.” He frowns when Peggy’s gaze hardens into a strange mix of sadness and fury. “What?”

She shakes her head. “It’s nothing.”

Daniel huffs lightly, pushing himself away from the counter and coming to Peggy’s side. “Now I don’t believe that for a second.”

She hides a smile.

Daniel pulls a chair around to sit next to her. “It’s only me, Peg,” he says quietly, “I won’t judge you.”

Taking comfort in the warmth Daniel’s proximity provides, Peggy speaks.

“Remake the world,” she murmurs, “according to what’s right and wrong. Take the people that don’t agree with it out of the equation.”

Daniel nods. Peggy turns to look at him, her eyes wild.

“That’s what HYDRA wanted to do too.”

“Oh, Peggy,” Daniel says, “you’re not HYDRA.”

“And what makes me different?”

“You care about protecting people, Peg, keeping them safe. You care about their freedom.”

“And yet I want to create an agency that spies on them in their own homes,” Peggy spits, “violate their privacy.”

“But you know that,” Daniel says, “you know that we sometimes have to do things that make us sleep a little less easily because it’s too keep them safe.”

“Is their security worth the price of their freedom?”

Daniel falters, sighing. He takes Peggy’s hand.

“I don’t know the answer to that, Peggy,” he says honestly, “and…I don’t know where the line is anymore either. We’re…we jump at shadows, putting flashlights some places and purposely avoiding others.”

He looks at her properly. “But there is a line. We know there is. And that’s what we have to remember.”

“And who says where that line is?”

“You told me you wanted to make this new organization because you were sick of people in the government having their own agendas,” Daniel says, turning to face her more, “do you still believe that?”

When she nods, he leans forward. “Then that’s where the line is. We do the work we do because we know what can happen when we don’t.”

“But how do we keep ourselves from falling into the same trap?”

Daniel smiles. “We keep ourselves in check. Build out the organization with people who will check each other’s worst impulses. We gotta keep asking about where the line is.”

“And for what it’s worth,” he added, leaning closer, “bad guys don’t normally care about being better.”

Peggy, whose shoulders had been continually relaxing as Daniel spoke, shakes her head slowly at him. “How do you always know what to say?”

Daniel shrugs. “Because a lot of that stuff was what you said to me to convince me that this whole thing was gonna work in the first place.”

She laughs when he gives her a look. “Plus, you’re very persuasive when you wanna be.”

Peggy leans back against the wall, absentmindedly toying with the collar of her shirt. “I know I can deal with all of this, it’s just…it gets so tiring.”

“Well, I’m always here to help,” Daniel says, “even though you’re more than capable of handling whatever those adolescents throw at you.”

At the reminder of one of their first proper conversations, Peggy smiles. Daniel gives her hand one more squeeze as he gets up, resuming the preparation of whatever he’s making for tonight. Peggy watches his movements with a smile. He moves confidently, with a grace that belies the strength hidden in his body. She remembers hearing the whispers of his fighting skills back when she first joined the office, seeing them firsthand on one of the first missions. He moved like his body belonged to him, like he knew it intimately, inside and out. The same way he handled a pen, or a wall of evidence, or a well-placed word over the phone. Speaking of which…

Peggy groans, getting up from the table only to be met with a mock stern look from Daniel.

“And where do you think you’re going?”

“I have a call,” she explains through a sharp roll of her shoulders, “with Senator Daniels.”

“No, you don’t.”

“Daniel,” Peggy mumbles, arching to get the crick out of her neck, “as much as I appreciate you trying to get me to take the night off, this call is—“

“I had it earlier, remember?” Daniel slides a mound of veggies into a pot on the stove—when did that get there? “You had a meeting with the lab boys about the new gizmos and I had the call.”

Ah, yes. That’s right. Peggy sighs. “At least I won’t have him gargling over the phone at me.”

“No,” Daniel grimaces, producing pasta from one of the cabinets, “I’m not sure that man knows how to clear his throat.”

“In that case, I suppose I’ll have to fill out Rose’s acquisition forms,” Peggy sighs, “and I left my good pen at the office too…”

“Those are done too,” Daniel calls, breaking the pasta in half, “just waiting for your signature. In your desk drawer. At the office.”

Peggy stops, frowning at Daniel who just shoots her a grin and starts another pan. “Have you done all my work for me?”

“You mean have I done the work that is required for doing this thing that we are doing together?” Daniel smirks and turns back to stirring whatever is smelling absolutely delicious in the pot at his elbow. “in that case, yes, I have done things. What, you think I just sit on my ass the whole day and do nothing?”

“No, I just…” Now having nowhere to go, Peggy drifts slowly to his side, drawn by the intoxicating scent. She breathes in slowly, a rich tomato smell, the cooking pasta, the slight tinge of the herbs and spices. “…mm.”

“Smell good?”

She opens her eyes at Daniel’s soft voice, finding herself much closer to him than she realized. Like this, tucked against the counter over the stove, the heat from the burners flowing gently through the air, they’re in their own little bubble. It’s safe.

“This,” Peggy murmurs quietly, smiling a little when Daniel’s brow does that adorable little confused quirk, “this is what I want. For people to feel this.”

Recognition dawns and his face breaks out into a proper grin, switching his stirring hand and opening his arm. She steps closer, allowing him to wrap around her waist and pull her closer. She pecks his temple, feeling the warmth of the steam curl around them, burying her nose in the crook of his neck.

“I got you, Peg,” Daniel murmurs, turning his cheek to rest against her forehead, “I’ll always be there for you. Even if you decide the best thing to do is start over.”

“And what if I no longer know what’s best?”

“Then I’ll stand by your side while we figure it out again.”

“What would I do without you,” she ponders, wrapping her arms around his waist and planting her chin on his shoulder, watching their dinner take shape in front of them.

She feels the rumble of Daniel’s chuckle and smiles at the warmth it brings. “You’d kick ass, Peggy Carter. You know you would.”

“Mm.” She nuzzles a little further into him. “But would I be as happy?”

“Now that I can’t answer,” he says, “but I can promise that I will do my best to make you happy.”

“And safe?”

“And safe.” Daniel sets aside the spoon for a moment and closes the embrace, tucking them both up against the counter. “You have me, Peggy Carter, in whatever capacity you want, for as long as you want.”

Peggy smiles, drawing back long enough to kiss this wonderful, wonderful man.

“And you will have me.”

Raspberries Challenge #7: Peter Pan

A/N: Okay, just letting you know now, I used Judy to play Tinkerbell rather than Wendy in this. Mainly because Wendy obviously doesn’t end up with Peter Pan in the long run. I don’t think Tinkerbell does either in the original books, but at least when it comes to Disney’s adaptation, she is still with him even years later when they meet Wendy’s daughter. I’m not including any of the Tinkerbell fairy canons here either, so pretend that this is a universe without any of the other Tinkerbell fairies (I’m lookin’ at you Terence).

Don’t worry though, Judy as Tinkerbell is far nicer and far less homicidal than the actual Tinkerbell.

Also pretend crocodiles exist in this universe...or at least in Neverland :)

Raspberries Challenge #7: Peter Pan

Lights Out

“JUDYBELL!!!” called a desperate voice. It was the voice of Nick Wilde, the young thirteen year old pirate battling protagonist of many well known children’s stories. Though as was clearly evident, he was anything but just a storybook character. He was in fact real.

On a daily basis, he battled with the evil sheep pirate, Captain Bellwether. She was a nasty ewe that constantly caused trouble for the young hero and his equally eternally youthful band of friends, the lost boys. As a means of getting Captain Bellwether off their backs, Nick chopped off her left hoof and tossed it to a hungry crocodile’’s mouth. This unfortunately backfired as Captain Bellwether became even more determined to catch and kill the young kit. That didn’t bother Nick however. He was always two steps ahead of the vengeful sheep.

Though Nick had now been an adolescent kit for hundreds of years and had never had any plans of ever growing up, he did at times have a vague need for certain things that would require some sort of adult influence. For one, he knew he needed a mother figure for himself and his messy lost boys. After all who wants the responsibilities of having to clean up after playtime? That’s just crazy!

He found his solution when he had lost his shadow at the home of the Winter family. It was there where he met three fox siblings, thirteen year old Skye Winter and her younger brothers, Cloud Winter (age 8) and Rainn Winter (age 3). Hearing how sophisticated and boringly confusing Skye spoke with all her babbling, plus the fact that her father was forcing her out of the nursery -- as according to her father, she was too old to keep believing in fairy tale characters like Nick -- he thought, why not invite them to come live at Neverland?!

She’d make a perfect mother for them and she and her brothers would never have to worry about growing up! And thus, the young red fox took her and her brothers with him to Neverland.

He didn’t mind her company in the least...except when she talked too much, or tried to be too proper, or whenever she tried to kiss him or talk about romantic things. Blech! But regardless, he didn’t mind her company, she was nice enough and the lost boys really took a shine to her as a mother figure.

Though if there was one animal...or rather one shrew sized, thirteen year pixie bunny...who didn’t seem to like Skye, it was Judybell. As far back as Nick could remember, Judybell had always been his trusted companion. Everywhere he went, she went. And everywhere she went, he went. They were a perfect team! She didn’t talk much (namely because she couldn’t actually talk, she just made twinkling noises to express herself), nor did she complain as much either. And when she did, he didn’t seem to notice if she had talked for way too long or not. She talked just the right amount where he didn’t get bored or think that she was nagging him about something. She was also very sweet and loyal, and always looked out for him. If there was someone he trusted with his life it was her.

Plus she had really pretty amethyst colored eyes...but he wouldn’t tell her that. Nick was still too young to be thinking about any of that sappy, lovey-dovey grown-up stuff.

When it came to the lost boys, they also seemed to really like the miniature bunny a lot too! Some of them, primarily the older boys, wouldn’t waste a minute trying to point out how pretty she was to Nick or poke fun saying that she was his girlfriend because they were so close. Nick would constantly deny these accusations, which usually caused the tiny bunny to fly off in a huff. Why she always did that, Nick felt he would never know. It was probably just a girl thing.

Whatever the case, she was hardly ever sour. She was always so sweet and inviting towards practically everyone. Though when it came to Skye, Nick just couldn’t understand what would come over her? He remembered when he first met Skye and just after she said she would give him a kiss -- whatever that was -- Judybell just went ballistic! She tugged harshly at Skye’s tail as if she was trying to keep her away from him. It was strange.

After that, Judybell would just constantly have her ears down around Nick, as if she was upset about something. Or upset at him, but he hadn’t done anything wrong to make her mad. He hadn’t even called her a dumb bunny like he normally would, so why was she so upset? All he did was just invite Skye and her brothers so they wouldn’t have to grow up either. What’s wrong with that?

Why did Skye’s presence around him cause Judybell to keep giving both of them the cold shoulder and ignore any orders that revolved around doing something nice for Skye?

It was as if Skye’s mere presence brought out the worst in her. Just as Judybell would never ignore his orders, she also had begun lying a lot -- something Judybell never used to do. But now, she started making up lies about how the Lost boys needed Nick’s help with something that wasn’t true -- like maybe one of the lost boys had lost their slingshot or scraped a knee. Though every time Nick went to them, he saw that they were fine. After doing this a couple of times, Nick grew fed up with her and banished her from his side for a week!

Something Judybell didn’t take lightly. She had tried to reason with Nick via her twinkling voice, but he would have none of it! He didn’t trust her anymore! After hearing that, the emotional pixie bunny couldn’t help but let the tears fall and flew far, far away. Embarrassed that Nick had to see her act so horribly and heartbroken that Nick no longer trusted her. Hundreds of years of a close companionship, dashed and broken. All because some girl who looked more like Nick came and caught his eye in one night. Something Judybell couldn’t do, even after several mortal lifetimes…

She had never felt so low.

That is until...she had accidentally revealed Nick’s hiding place to Captain Bellwether. She didn’t mean to do it. Captain Bellwether had approached her and comforted her with girl talk. The pirate sheep had even shared her own experiences with heartbreak. And as a result, she temporarily won the trust of the vulnerable bunny pixie. But no more, than when the sheep promised her that she would would get rid of Skye, so that Judybell can have Nick all to herself. Though tempting, Judybell refused. She no longer wanted to show such an ugly side of herself anymore, even if it meant having a broken heart.

Captain Bellwether decided to sweeten the deal and made her a new offer. One in which Skye and her brothers would be gone but unharmed. Captain Bellwether promised that she would take Skye and her brothers as mere passengers and sail them back home, safe and sound.

This offer enticed Judybell more than the previous one, but what was the catch?

“Catch? Haha, there’s no catch,” the sheep chuckled, “Except...we would need to know where that adventurous little boyfriend of yours lives...After all if we’re going to escort dear Skye back home, we do need to know where she is.And chances are she’s at Nick Wilde’s hideout, wouldn’t you agree?” Captain Bellwether picked Judybell up and set her over a map of Neverland, “Oh won’t you please help us find where they are?”

Judybell silently huffed and turned her back to her. She wouldn’t betray Nick like that!

“You refuse?” asked the sheep. Judybell nodded in response. “Oh, too bad. I feel so sorry for you.” Judy turned to her curiously. “Well think about it. With you gone...banished really. He needs someone else to be by his side. Someone bigger, closer to his species, prettier, nicer.”

Judybell’s face scrunched in pain. Each word describing Skye being better than her was like a dagger to her heart.

“It hurts, I know. I’ve had my share and you know what I learned who needs him?! Right?! You were there by his side for, forever! And this is the thanks you get?!”

Judybell frowned, shutting her eyes as tears ran down her soft cheeks. Feeling anguish and boiling anger building in her as her tiny fists balled. In her broken, vulnerable mind all she could think was: How could he?!

“Jerks like that don’t deserve a loyal girl like you. He wasn’t loyal to you, so why keep protecting him? He replaced you like day old garbage when this young vixen came along! Just imagine it! Her getting to be held by him! Her getting to hold his paw! Her being around him all the time and helping him with his missions instead of you….Her getting to kiss him…”

At that, Judybell broke. She couldn’t take it anymore. Losing her ability to think rationally, Judybell simply jumped to new location on the map and pointed at a specific area.

“So that’s where he’s been hiding!” Bellwether squealed in delight. “Thank you my dear!”

Judybell’s mind returned just then. She looked down, mortified. Realizing that she had indeed revealed Nick’s hiding spot. Oh no! What had she done?!

Desperate to make things right, Judybell shook her finger at the sheep. Shouting in twinkles that she mustn't lay a hoof...or a hook on Nick!

“Hurt him? Ha! What do you take me for? I’m an adult, I’m too mature to do something so childish and petty.”

For a moment, Judybell sighed in relief.

“But this is Neverland, I don’t have to grow up and be mature…” she lifted Judy in a flash, “IF I DON’T WANT TO!” Captain Bellwether then tossed and locked the bunny pixie into a lantern.

“JUDYBELL!” she heard his voice call once more. She didn’t know if she was still alive or dead after such a massive explosion.

For not too long after she had accidentally betrayed Nick, Captain Bellwether kept her ‘promise’ of not laying a hoof or a hook on Nick. But...that didn’t stop her from leaving him a bomb in the guise of a present from Skye.

In her deep desire to protect Nick, Judybell eventually managed to break free from the lantern and raced home to the adolescent fox, arriving just in time to see him innocently trying to open said gift. She quickly dashed to remove it from his grasp, but ended up taking the hardest hit from the bomb in doing so.

Now, she found herself buried underneath the rubble that was once their hideout.

“Judy?” Nick asked, his voice breaking with worry, “Judybell? Where are you Judy! Judy! Judybell!”

twinkle...twinkle…

Nick’s ears perked as he heard her twinkling ringing. It was faint, but she wasn’t too far off. He searched around him, until finally spotting a very weak light blinking in and out. Bits of rubble fell over the dying light, burying her even more than she already was.

“Judybell!” Nick quickly began moving away the rubble to get to her. “Judy! Are you all right?”

She felt a little warmth grow in her heart after hearing how worried he sounded for her, but she still knew that she was only second in his heart now. Regardless of it all, her feelings didn’t matter right now. What did matter was him getting to Bellwether’s ship on time to save Skye and the others.

twinkle...twinkle…

Judybell twinkled again, informing him of the news.

“Skye?” he asked in surprise, “The boys?” More rubble fell as Judybell continued twinkling, telling him to go rescue the others first. But Nick wouldn’t hear of it!

He crawled through a small opening, determined to get to the injured bunny pixie. “But I gotta save you first! Hold on Judy! Hold on!” He hovered above her small faded frame when he finally managed to get through the rubble.

twinkle...twinkle…

She continued twinkling weakly yet urgently. Demanding that Nick leave her behind and rescue the others. “No! I’m not gonna leave you behind!” Nick watched her with tears forming at his eyes as he saw that her frail form slowly begin to dim -- her bright light fading out almost completely. “Don’t go out! Don’t you understand Judy? You mean more to me than anything in this whole world!”

More rubble fell as Nick immediately covered her with his body to protect her. With his face only an inch away, he released a shivering breath, wanting to hold back the tears but finding himself unable to. “Please...don’t fade out Judy. I need you.” He sniffled as one tear fell on her.

Suddenly, in a bright burst of blinding light, Judybell began to glow again. The light forced Nick back as he shut his eyes and took cover with an arm.

After the light died out a few seconds later, Nick opened his eyes again to see that Judybell had not only woken up again, but woke up much larger than what she normally was. Nick’s jaw slacked as he saw her sitting before him with her eyes closed and sitting calmly on her knees.

“J-Judybell?” Nick asked in disbelief.

Judybell slowly opened her eyes and smiled upon seeing him, “Nick.”

“Judy!” he yelped in shock, “Y-You talked!”

“What are you talking abou--?” Judybell gasped as she stopped herself mid-sentence, realizing that he was right. “I--I’m talking! A-And I’m...big!” she said looking down at her paws and larger body.

“Yeah no kidding! You look...” he paused trying to find the right words as she looked up at him with those feminine eyes that seemed to make his stomach feel funnier than usual. “You look--Wait! Don’t tell me you were able to talk and grow bigger this whole time! Because if so, that’s not fair. You should’ve told me about such an amazing trick!”

“But I didn’t know! I just...did it,” she chuckled, not knowing what else to say. Nick chuckled along with her as he continued to gaze at her curiously. Judybell’s ears perked, suddenly remembering about something, “Oh! Skye and the others! They still need your help!”

“Oh right!” he said getting up, “Come on! We gotta go help them!”

Judybell smiled at his lively enthusiasm, but remained in place. Nick stopped when he saw her still sitting and with a melancholy smile on her face. “Judy? Aren’t you coming?”

“I’ll just stay here, if it’s okay with you. They’re expecting you. Skye’s expecting you, so go rescue her,” she smiled weakly.

Nick raised a confused brow and knelt down beside her, “But I can’t do this alone. I need you there with me Judy.”

“But I’m still technically banished, remember? Besides, why do you need me when you’ve got Skye by your side?” Judybell rubbed her arm insecurely.

“But I don’t have Skye. She’s the one that needs rescuing. And I’m calling off the whole banishment thing. Just come on!” he urged on, completely blind to the now normal sized pixie bunny’s feelings.

Judybell couldn’t help but let a tear fall at his inability to recognize what was wrong with her.

“Judybell?” he asked puzzled. “Why are you crying?”

“It’s nothing! Just go,” she sobbed.

“But…” he groaned internally, struggling to understand what was wrong with her. “Judy, can you please tell me what’s wrong? I don’t wanna go knowing that I left you crying like this. Did I do something? I’m sorry that I banished you if that’s what this is about!”

More tears fell from Judy’s eyes as she continued to sob quietly. The only sound that came from her was just an occasional hitched breath. “It’s not that! It’s…” another hitched breath, “It’s Skye!”

“Skye? What’s she have to do with this?” he asked, completely baffled.

“You like her…” Judybell sobbed.

“Well, yeah I like her,” Nick replied casually. “She’s a great mom for the lost boys and tells great stories. Why wouldn’t I like her?”

“No!” Judybell cried, “I mean you like, like her...and you replaced me with her, because you like her better!” Judybell’s breath hitched again as her shoulders trembled from her crying.

Nick looked at her with a face that just completely screamed, ‘huh???’

The young adolescent fox lowered one of Judybell’s paws from her face so that she can see his face, “Judy, I don’t like Skye like that.”

Judybell wiped at her face, “You don’t?”

“No! I’m not even sure what liking someone like that even feels like. You know I don’t like any of that gross mushy stuff.”

“But you were spending so much time with her and she tried to kiss you.”

“Kiss me?” he thought back to when he had first met the young vixen and her brothers. “Oh yeah. I remember she mentioned something like that back when we were at her home. She told me she would show me what one was until you started pulling her by her tail. Haha! That was funny.” He thought a little more about it. “I wonder if it’s what Tiger Lily gave me?”

“Tiger Lily?!” Judybell’s heart sank once more. New tears wanted to form again on her already wet face.

“Whoa! Whoa! Don’t cry again Judy, please! I can’t stand it!” he begged of her. “Besides, I never said Tiger Lily kissed me. I don’t even know what one is! All she did was rub her nose on mine, but I don’t know if that was one.” Nick rubbed at his temples with frustration, “You girls really confuse me with all your weird stuff!”

“That’s all she did?” Judy asked, still jealous but slightly relieved that the young tigress didn’t actually kiss him. “Did you like it?”

“Yes? No? I don’t know! Agh!” he groaned in frustration, “I don’t know what’s the right answer that won’t make you cry!”

“So...you still don’t know what a kiss is?” Judybell asked curiously.

“No! How many times do I have to tell you that I don’t--mmn!” He was silenced by Judybell quickly slamming her lips against his in a strong yet chaste kiss. Nick’s emerald eyes widened in shock and his heart raced as she kept her lips on his. When she pulled away, Nick kept the same shocked expression for what seemed like an eternity.

“That was a kiss,” Judybell said with a shy smile. She lowered her gaze bashfully when she looked back up at Nick to see that he still kept the same shocked expression as before. “Nick?” He looked at her with a blank expression. “Nick are you oka--mmn!”

Without a word, he brought her smaller face to his again.

Overwhelmed with emotion, Judy pressed back against his face returning the kiss.

As for Nick, he didn’t know why kissing her made his heart beat fast and his belly tickle, but he had to admit -- he liked it. Maybe this is why mortals like growing up? When he released, he watched her with a gentle smile. Judybell didn’t say anything but smiled back with a heavy blush.

“I think I like kissing,” he said with a playful smirk.

Judybell grinned, immensely happy.

“Okay, enough of this mushy stuff,” he said, still smiling. “Now will you come with me and help me face that no good Bellwether and save everybody like we always do?” He stood and offered her a paw, “Together?”

Judybell placed her paw in his and stood with him, ready to go! “Together!”

She kissed his cheek, causing him to blush and freeze once more as she took to the air to find an opening. “Nick come on! We’re going to grow old if we sit here any longer!” Judybell glowed and re-shrunk to her miniature size. She twinkled happily and flew out through an opening big enough for Nick to squeeze through.

Nick placed a paw at his cheek where she had kissed him and smiled. He had never thought about growing up before, but if he ever had to...maybe it wouldn’t be so bad. So long as he always had Judybell by his side.

Mars (P4)

Chapter three

Markerah sat beside Tai Lung. "You know Shifu is not going to be happy." Markerah giggled, Tai Lung shrugged "We'll cross that bridge when we come to it." He then added, "Plus when I'm Dragon Warrior, I can do whatever with my limitless power."

The jaguar frowned and sat up, lifting her head off of the leopard's chest causing him to frown. "What's wrong Mars?" He asked, she sighed before saying "What will you do if you are denied your scroll?" She asked warily

"Uh-" The leopard sounded confident and cocky "I won't, who else could be the Dragon Warrior?" He said it as if it was a joke. "Oogway? The goose at that noodle shop?" Tai Lung let out a loud bark of laughter that made Markerah slap her paw over his mouth.

The snow leopard quieted his laughter so they wouldn't get caught, he grabbed Markerah's paw and pulled it so she now sat on his lap. "But that scroll is the least of my concerns at this particular moment..." He said suggestively

Markerah blushed but just rolled her eyes, she placed her index finger underneath his chin and hovered in front of his face.

"Mmm... I don't think so." She said with a small smirk as she got off of Tai Lung's lap. The leopard frowned then got another idea, he pretended to trip as he stood up and plopped down onto the jaguar.

Markerah let out a little kitten squeak of shock as she was pinned to the floor. She winced at the loud thump they made.

"Tai Lung get off!" She whispers shouted, worried that Shifu might've heard the bump. She did not feel like facing the little red panda.

"But I realllllyyy don't feel like it." The leopard purred, Markerah let out a sigh of frustration and began to try and push him off of her but he was just too enormous for her to push. "You jerk." She hissed

Tai Lung only grew cockier "Maybe I'll let you up if I get a little kiss right here." He pointed to his mouth and Markerah rolled her eyes.

"Hell no." She said stubbornly, the snow leopard shrugged "Okay then." He just laid down more on top of her. Markerah grew frustrated and pecked his cheek "There! Happy?" She growled

"That's not where I pointed~"

Before Markerah could even begin to complain, the door to her bedroom slid open swiftly. The moonlight poured in, illuminating a very angry and tired Shifu. Markerah's eyes grew as wide as moons and she heard Tai Lung gulp.

"TaI lUnG and MaRkErAh!" He yelled, she was pretty sure the people in the valley could hear him. The two adolescents winced.

"GET UP RIGHT NOW.."

I woke up and got ready to head out, over the past few days I had been traveling with Chi to Gongmen City. I wasn't even halfway there yet, all I carried was a large backpack I snagged from the market and some knives on my belt.

Chi flew ahead of me with speed, I watched him become a speck of black in the distance. At this moment, I had taken a break and went to sleep. Thankfully, Chi wasn't my alarm clock.

Wrapping everything up, I began to trudge along the path that the map I bought showed was the quickest route. Along with all my new travel gear, I decided it was time to put my invention to use.

(A/N: The leather pouch outfit that she bites if she is ever captured, in case you forgot)

I brought a jar of my poisonous berries that were ripe, they were in my backpack surrounded by cloth so the jar didn't get broken.

Chi flew back with a loud screech, I perked up and saw him swooping down towards me. He landed on my backpack with ease and began to groom his feathers. I rolled my eyes and just continued.

According to the map, I should be at the border of Gongmen in a few days if I took 3 breaks.

"That woman better pays up to what she claimed she would," I mumbled, shooing away Chi. Even though he was only a few pounds of feather and meat, I did not feel like holding him on my back along with the other stuff I have.

Chi squawked in defiance but nonetheless flew up, I sighed as I watched him fly ahead. He suddenly swooped down but I just put it to him finding something to eat. I wasn't all too interested.

After a few hours, the sun began to fall. My surroundings were mostly y'all grass with few bamboo trees littered here and there. The dirt path cut right through the grass and I prowled forward.

I should've never called... Cause I knew you'd leave me...

but I didn't think... you could do it so.. easily...

I should've never held your hand... on that cold rainy night.

Cause further along, it would cause another fight.

The wind seemed to whistle in such a melodious way, the bamboo swaying along with it. Brushing against each other gently, making a small tune. Throughout my journey, I began to notice more and more of my memories of my past coming to me.

Stranger.... that's all I see...

when I look into your.. eyes

The soulmate that wasn't meant to be

Stranger... Who knows all my secrets

Can pull me apart, and break my heart...

the soulmate who wasn't meant to be...

I shook my head to try and shake the song from my thoughts, instead my thoughts went to the goat who had got me into the situation in the first place. She was strange, almost unsettling yet attractive.

A familiar hawk screech filled the air and my ears, which was quick to drive my current thoughts away. I figured it was Chi since he was one of a kind. Quickening my pace, I ran as fast as I could.

Even if Chi was only a mindless animal, he was my only trustworthy company and friend at the moment. Not to mention, a trained falcon is expensive nowadays!

The screech went quiet and it made my blood run cold. I set my bag down so I could run faster. Slowing down my pace so I didn't run into trouble or whatever had silenced Chi. I could smell someone and Chi, I knew there was more than one person and that didn't help my nerves.

I got onto all fours and slipped into the tall grass for camouflage, I knew I was heading the right way when I stepped on a dark brown feather. Growing more worried, I marched forward.

Finally, I heard voices.

"Is it okay?" A gentle sounding female murmured, by the hiss I heard at the end of the voice It sounded like a snake.

"Just startled." A deep voice murmured

"Po scared it more than it did he." Another male smarted, "What? It came out of nowhere!" Supposedly Po protested.

I pushed quietly to the edge of the grass, soon I was able to see who was the voices. There was a female tiger, a female snake, a male Crane, Monkey, and bug, along with a panda. Not to mention a snow leopard who was holding a falcon, Wait Chi!

So far these guys seemed friendly but I watched them to see their motives for Chi.

The snow leopard eyed the falcon closely, he grabbed Chi's wing and pulled it out to examine it for injuries. "He seems strong and healthy for a wild animal..." He pointed out, then gestured to a mark on Chi's head. "He's trained." He added

"Trained?" The panda asked, I recognized the voice as the supposed Po "Basically it can follow commands."

I decided to reveal myself since it was quite obvious they would put two and two that someone owned Chi. Getting up on two legs, I walked casually out of the tall grass. We were still on the dirt path.

The panda looked over at me curiously while the others tensed and got into Kung fu positions. Problem is, that snow leopard seemed so familiar...

"Who are you?" The tiger hissed, she scanned over my face. My face had a bandanna on it, and It always had for the past days in case I ran into someone.

"I believe you have something of mine," I said calmly, the snow leopard narrowed his eyes as if he was trying to make sense of who I was.

Maybe I seem familiar to him...

"Oh!" The Panda gestured to Chi "The bird? He's yours?" He then added "Awesome." I rolled my eyes, then decided to show off.

"Chi." The falcon perked up at his name and locked eyes with me. The snow leopard lessened his grip on the bird so he could leave freely and which he did so. I made a clicking sound with a tongue and Chi flew towards me and perched onto my shoulder.

"So what're are you doing here?" The tiger asked warily, I rolled my eyes for the third time. "I'm a traveler." I stared blankly, remembering my travel bag that I had left behind too.

"And you realize that this trail is leading to Gongmen City?" The bug pointed out, I scoffed "Yes."

"Why're you going to Gongmen City?" The leopard asked, I flinched when he spoke. He seemed so familiar, my tongue pressed onto the roof of my mouth. I crossed my arms across my chest as I locked eyes with him.

"I have family there." I lied smoothly but the leopard seemed to see right through it. "Then what's with the guard?" He pressed on "There's bandits out and about." I shrugged

"Then we can escort you." The leopard snarled, I let a hiss escape me. "I'm quite able to defend myself, thank you." I replied sassily, the leopard just seemed amused by my sass.

"We're heading to Gongmen too!" The monkey replied nonchalantly "Yeah you should totally tag along with us....." The panda trailed off as he pressured me into giving him my name. I pursued my lips underneath my bandanna, I couldn't tell them my real name and I definitely won't remember another name...

"Calls me..... Mars..."
