A Zero's Tale

Chapter Three: Hot Fiery Passion

Song: Castle Crashers (Forest Entrance)

Scene: The following day at the Siranian Castle Town. Jet, Red, and Aidan are at the shopping district where there are a plethora of stores- from Michael's Dragon Slaying Boutique to David's Goliath Armor Parlor, everything and anything can be found there. In the center of the district lies a beautiful water fountain with a statue of Princess Courtney, and Princess Jennifer placed in the center. The sun continues to beat down upon the shopping district, and the vicinity remains hot and humid. The water fountain, however, brings a soothing cooling effect to the customers, especially Aidan. Aidan and Red are standing right next to the water fountain- they can't seem to take their eyes off the statue.

Aidan: [looking with intensity] Oh my god dude, even their statues look hot!
Red: [nods head] Yeah, no kidding, I can't imagine how they look like in person.
Aidan: [with drool coming out of his mouth] My mind's going crazy just thinking about them.
Red: Yeah, Jet sure knows how to make an evil plan, [short pause] too bad we'll have to break their hearts though.
Aidan: [glances at Red] Yeah, what a shame, [sighs] it's too bad we have to let those girls go to waste. I really wanted to date that Princess Courtney person, I've always felt like I had a connection with her, you know what I mean dude?
Red: [stares at Aidan] Not really. [looks at Princess Jennifer's statue] What do you think about Princess Jennifer?
Aidan: Nah, she's not really my type.
Red: [confused] How can you tell who's your type? You haven't even met any of them.
Aidan: I just know dude.
Red: [still confused] How?
Aidan: I don't know man, I just think Princess Courtney is hotter that's all. [stares at Princess Jennifer's statue] Besides, there's something really strange about her.
Red: What are you talking about?
Aidan: I'm not sure, there's just this dark aura surrounding her. Just look at her dude.
Red: [raises an eyebrow] You do know it's just a statue right?
Aidan: [with confidence] So? I can make my judgments based off anything. Clothes. Shoes. Hairstyl3s. Make-up. It's my natural talent.
Red: What?
Aidan: [with confidence] Dude, have I ever told you before that people use to call me the "Love Guru". [with confidence] I know everything there is to know about girls, and I can tell from a mile away if a girl is trouble.
Red: [speechless]
Aidan: My keen instinct tells me that Princess Jennifer is nothing but TROUBLE. Believe me dude, I know this stuff.
Red: [without any emotion] You're an idiot.
Aidan: You're just jealous bro.

[Jet finally arrives at the water fountain, he is out of breath]

Red: [looks at Jet] Where have you been?
Aidan: Yeah bro, we've been waiting for you.
Jet: [still trying to catch his breath] I was….[struggling] trying to steal some money….[breathing heavily] from some hobo.
Red: [confused] A hobo?
Aidan: Nice, how much were you able to steal?
Jet: [finally recuperates] Absolutely nothing.
Red: [still confuse] A hobo?
Aidan: Bummer dude.
Red: [mad] Why the hell would you steal from a hobo?
Aidan: Why not?
Jet: Yeah, why not? I thought it was a pretty good plan.
Red: [irritated] HELLO? Did your brain fall out while you were running? Hobos don't have any money.
Jet: Of course they do, where do you think they get all their clothes, all their signs, all their shopping carts?
Red: [sarcastically] Um, I don't know, let me think, maybe….the….TRASH CAN!
Jet: Exactly my point, they're so rich that they even have trash cans to put their stuff in.
Red: [slaps forehead] Oh my god, you are guys are so stupid.
Aidan: You're stupid.
Red: [angered] NO, you're STUPID, you're the one that keeps going on about being a "Love Guru". And look at this guy. [points at Jet] He thinks hobos are rich. What is wrong with you two? What a bunch of bull sh-!
Jet: [quickly steps in] Hey, c'mon you guys, we need to handle our problems like civilized human beings. Now put away the swear words, and vent out your anger by….well I don't know….shoving someone into the water fountain for example.

Song: Pokemon FireRed/LeafGreen (Gym/Elite Four)

[Suddenly, a strange young man comes out of nowhere and begins talking to himself like a complete lunatic. He appears to be wearing a shirt that says "Save the Charizards!", his hair looks like it hasn't been combed in days, and he smells like the other end of a skunk. The young man has a crazy look in his eyes, and he can't stop shaking.]

Young Man: [quickly] Save the Charizards! Their species is ending! We must save them! [grabs a hold of Jet's shirt and begins tugging on it] You've gotta believe me, the Charizards are DYING! We need to do something!
Jet: [with attitude] What you need to do is get your filthy hands off me.
Young Man: [lets go of Jet and starts tugging on Aidan's shirt] You gotta believe me! I'm not crazy! The Charizards NEED us!
Aidan: [laughing] Hahaha, dude, is this guy serious? [grinning] Chill out bro.
Young Man: Don't tell me to chill out! YOU need to chill out! The Charizards need our help!
Aidan: [still laughing] Hahaha!!! What's a Charizard?
Young Man: [irritated] Forget you! [pushes Aidan away, grabs onto Red's shirt and begins shaking him violently] You've got to help me save the Charizards sir!

[With his right hand, Red clutches the young man's face and pushes him into the water fountain. A huge splash covers the surrounding area with water.]

Song: Castle Crashers (Forest Entrance)

Aidan: [impressed] Dude that was sick!
Jet: [amazed] Now that's what I call evil! [raises hand]
Red: [gives Jet a high five] That felt so good.
Jet: Oh that reminds me, we need to stop by at Catherine's Happily Ever After Clothing Outlet.
Red: Why?
Jet: To get ourselves some formal attire of course.
Aidan: Awww, dude, seriously? I hate clothing stores.
Red: [in agreement] Yeah, who doesn't?
Jet: Well, we need to. There's no way the Siranian Castle guards are going to let a couple of rag tag looking guys into the ballroom.
Red: What's wrong with what were wearing now?

[Jet, Red, and Aidan's clothes are nothing but mere cloths sewn together from a variety of different fabrics. Their clothes consist of materials made from old mattresses, over-used blankets, repulsive towels, and all sorts fabrics found in the junkyard.]

Red: [examines his clothes] Okay, you may have a point.
Aidan: But dude, how are we going to afford the clothes?
Jet: Well, I tried stealing money from that one hobo, but that was an epic fail.
Aidan: Yeah about that, what actually happened?
Jet: [trying to explain] I seriously thought he was sleeping. He was just sitting there in his little old box, when suddenly I step on this little black cat. The cat shrieks, the old hobo wakes up, and the next thing I know he's chasing me off with a fistful of year old sushi.
Aidan: [laughing hysterically] Sushi? Oh my god dude, I wish I was there.
Jet: No, I don't think you'd want to be there. That hobo was feakin' scary!
Red: [sarcastically] And the great mighty Jet has once again proven how evil he truly is.
Jet: [looks at Red] Don't judge me. [short pause] Anyway, now we need to find another source of money.
Red: Ummm… why don't we just steal the clothes instead?
Jet: [with a devilish smile] Yeah, that's a brilliant idea. [places hand on Red's shoulder] I am glad to call you my evil apprentice.
Red: [rolls eyes] Yeah, whatever.
Jet: Alright, let's get moving.

Song: Super Smash Bros. Brawl (Elite Four Building)

[The strange young man bursts out of the water fountain gasping for air. He gets out of the water and stands at the edge of the fountain. He is completely drenched from top to bottom.]

Young Man: [desperately] Wait, you guys have got to listen to me.
Jet: Yeah sorry, but were kind of on a tight schedule.
Young Man: C'mon hear me out, it'll only take a second.
Red: What is with this guy?
Aidan: Come on dudes, let's just listen to what he has to say.
Jet: Fine, we'll listen to you but after that you better leave us alone. [quietly to himself] Freak….

[The young man jumps down from the water fountain, and approaches Jet, Red, and Aidan.]

Young Man: [calmly] Hello, sorry if I didn't introduce myself before, my name is Blaze C. Ember, and I'm trying to save a species known as the Charizards, a breed of fire breathing dragons that have gone extinct due to a mysterious cause. Getting to the point, I have a proposition for you three.
Jet: [whispers to Red and Aidan] Doesn't he seem different to you guys, it's like he's another person.
Red: [agrees] Yeah, no kidding, he's much calm now.
Aidan: [snickering to himself] Maybe that water cooled down his temper, get it? Cooled down.
Blaze: Anyways I would like you three to aid me in my effort to save the Charizards. [talking to himself] No you have to be more assertive, get in their face! No, you saw what happened last time, we got pushed into the water fountain. Who cares, don't let that stop you. We need to approach this in a calm and civilized manner. No, what you need to do, is be more assertive and demand they help you.
Aidan: [scared] Ummmm….dude, are you talking to yourself?
Blaze: [with remorse] Sorry about that, I forgot to introduce to you guys my partner Ember, he can be a real pain sometimes but he is just as passionate about the Charizards as me.
Red: [looks around] There's nobody here, but you and us.
Blaze: What are you talking about,? He's standing right here next to me.

[Jet, Red, and Aidan look at each other with a fearful expression in their eyes.]

Red: And that's our signal to leave.
Aidan: Yeah, let's get out of here, this guy is freaking me out.
Jet: [with a smirk on his face] Hey, you're the one who wanted to listen to him.
Aidan: Yeah, I know dude, but I didn't think he'd be a complete psycho.
Jet: Really? He looked like a freakin' psycho to me when he was clawing at us earlier.
Blaze: [with emotion] See what you did? Now they won't even talk to us. Me? I didn't do anything, it's all YOUR fault. No it's YOUR fault Ember. You just had to go and say something to upset them. I didn't do anything wrong! Don't blame me for your lack of communication skills.
Jet: [sarcastically] Alright, well, it was nice talking to you. [stares at Blaze] I hope you one day get a life. [stares at empty spot next to Blaze] And I hope one day you exist. [signals Red and Aidan] Come on you guys, let's go.
Red and Aidan: [nod heads] Alright.
Blaze: Wait, at least take a flyer. [pulls flyer out of pants, holds it up to Jet]
Jet: Ummm…. Oh would you look at that, I don't have any pockets. [smiles] Oh well, I guess you'll have to give it to Red.
Red: [shocked] What the hell man!
Blaze: [holds flyer up to Red]
Red: [takes flyer from Blaze, glares at Jet]] Oh, I'll remember this.

[Jet, Red, and Aidan walk away from Blaze and head towards Catherine's Happily Ever After Clothing Outlet.]
