Sprout ran to the castle, he quickly gets stopped by the knights "Hold it! What's your reason for visit? (We do not allow randoms...)" Sprout just looks at the two confused. They suddenly widen their eyes "is that....him? (I thought he was gone..)" The knight with two heads quickly open the gate. Sprouts didn't question it and just ran faster. the people inside gasped when Sprout ran through the hallway "It's the guy in THE painting!" "He's still here?!" Sprouts ran past everyone. He tripped over carpets, he had bruises everywhere as he ran. His knee bone broken, probably tearing his inner skin as he limped over the broken glass from dropped glasses. He saw her. "B-BASSIE!" He ran over, not caring about all the guards trying to get him. "ITS YOU!" He ran up hugging her. She freezes "...Berry?" Sprout cried into her blue and pink dress "Yes...! It's me....Please...." Bassie pushes back "...Guards...." she said,her voice monotone. The knights surrounded Sprout "W-what-?" Bassie looks away "...Send him to the bunker..." Sprouts freezes "Wait-! I-I THOUGHT THAT-!" The guards grabbed both of his arms pulling him away. Bassie walks away, the crowd of people covering her up into a random splotch with the others, or maybe that was just because of the tears in sprouts eyes. "You.....you changed...." Sprout tries to pull away from the hard grasp of metal armor "Y-YOU SAID YOU WOULD NEVER LEAVE ME-!" Sprout cried, hot tears rolling down his cheeks "WHAT HAPPENED TO THE BLOOMING FLOWER I USED TO KNOW?!" Sprouts bruised body couldn't fight anymore, even if he tried. Sprouts yells in pain and anger "I KNOW WHAT YOUR FATHER TAUGHT YOU BUT PLEASE DONT-" Bassie yells back "SILENCE!" her voiced echoed, glass statues cracked. "....I don't know you...." She said anger in her eyes "You.....are nothing more but a little pest...." Sprouts legs went limp, not from the broken bone, but from the utter shock and tears. Sprouts got dragged away, not fighting back and just staring at Bassie as she walked away. *** Sprouts was slammed into the prison cage down at the dark bunker. he noticed that he was almost thin enough to squeeze through the bars, he was bruised up and skinny, he doesn't get to eat much and got into a lot of fights. There was a small window where children can laugh at the prisoners, a sign outside that said "This is what happens to misbehaved children!" Some of the upper class folks would throw tomatoes at them, they at least got food from it. Outside Sprout looked at the food court. He sees Cosmo just sitting on the ground trying to sell anything to get money. He has a few tapes in the small basket, but not enough to pay off rent for the week. Sprout taps on his window. Cosmo glances at him "SPROUT?!" sprout looks away embarrassed "Hey cos....they uh...they caught me..." Cosmo frowns "They sure did. You gonna get boiled tar and feathers thrown at you!" Sprout nods, a grimace smile on his face "Yep..." Sprouts points to his tapes "What happened? I thought your business was faster than the wild turkey!" Cosmo laughs before slowly frowning again "Gentleman Dandy said I had to get rid of my stand..." Sprouts smile fades "Seriously? Your gonna let some flower head cloud up your shop? That's such a cow-" Cosmo snaps "he was mad at me talking to a girl! He threatened to burn down my business!" Sprouts freezes "..What? Why?" Cosmo blushes "Because...this girl was one of the ladies..." Sprout smirks "A lady? Dang you really desprate. Trust me that will never work-" Cosmo pinched his arm "Says the one who ran into a castle!" Sprouts arm slaps Cosmo "Shut up! That Queen is....an old love of mine.." Cosmo rolls his eyes "Thats never gonna work! Next week, the gala starts and princes from kingdoms will try to get her hand! Your a low life servant to her!" Sprouts looks at the food court day dreaming "Well...we met when she was only a princess, Bobette was the Queen. we were only 15 or so...She promised to never leave my side when she ruled...never saw her after that and....her father said she was dead....turns out he's a lying raccoon!" Cosmo laughs "I don't know what ya expected...Shes a princess!" Sprouts looks out in the distance "Well....if ya get me out here I'll help you with that lady eh?" Cosmo blushes "...Fine...let me get some tools"
