Pumpkin Day out

Somewhere inside the royal castle, Pumpkin Spice was taking a warm bubble bath, at her cousin Nightshade personal bathroom. Pumpkin Spice always like taking a bubble bath, it remind her the fun time she usually had with her mother. One of the coolest thing she like to do during bath time, is playing with her rubber duck's. Pumpkin Spice have one favorite rubber duck that she name it Mr. Flibble, which look like a penguin with a bow tie. Right now, Pumpkin Spice and Mr. Flibble are doing pretend army and doing inspections with a few other rubber duck's.

Pumpkin Spice: alright everyone, today Mr. Flibble, and I are going to do some inspection. Hope you three ducks are ready, or else Mr. Flibble will be very cross.

Mr. Flibble: that right, you won't like me when I'm very cross. I'll will torment you three ducks in submission, and leave you inside a room for quarantine. In that room you will eat lima bean, and watch boring documentary making butter.

Three rubber ducks: ....

Pumpkin Spice: it seem like they not buying your bluff, Mr. Flibble.

Mr. Flibble: oh they will Ms. Spice, especially since the punishment will be double with bowl of candy.

Pumpkin Spice: that doesn't sound like a punishment.

Mr. Flibble: not unless it plain candy

Pumpkin Spice: "Nani" you can't give them plain candy, that dishonorable.

Mr. Flibble: don't try to cross me, Ms. Spice, or I'll take your Pumpkin candy as well.

Pumpkin Spice: oh yeah, then I'll make sure you won't.

Pumpkin Spice grab, Mr. Flibble and held him up in mid-air. She got up from the tub and place him behind her, and sat back down.

Pumpkin Spice: there, now your trap behind, Pumpkin Spice buns prison. You be staying there, until you learn a lesson.

Mr. Flibble: .... part of me not sure that I should be upset, or yet very stratified with the view.

Pumpkin Spice chuckle to herself, knowing that she was having too much fun with her game. Pumpkin Spice stop laughing for a moment, once heard someone knocking the bathroom door. Pumpkin Spice was curious who was at the door, and call them out.

Pumpkin Spice: who is it?

Nightshade: you know who it is Short Cake, are you done taking a bath or what?

Pumpkin Spice: almost, cousin Shadie. I'm right in the middle finishing up my game with my ducks, and one of them in punishment.

Mr. Flibble: you call it punishment, I call it paradise.

Nightshade: *face palm* not Mr. Flibble again. I hate that stupid toy, that thing freak me out every time. Look Short Cake, just hurry up, and get yourself ready. We need to meet my mother at the royal library in a few minutes, or else she will do that whole tardiness about being on time, and stuff.

Pumpkin Spice: I'll be done in five minutes, Cousin Shadie.

Nightshade: fine, just before not break anything, since you and Lavender had that crazy dragon growth spurt, you’re a little big to be in that bath tub.

Pumpkin Spice: don't worry, Cousin Shadie, I'll be extra *before she finishes her sentence, something broke in the background* I'll try to be extra careful.

Nightshade face palm herself again, knowing that she had to replace whatever her cousin broke in her private bathroom. Nightshade walk away from her bathroom door, and head for the center area of her room. She see her little sister, Lavender was busy trying on some new set of custom made bra she brought from the mall. Lavender is trying her best to get use with her new large figure, after the whole dragon growth spurt, Lavender body is ten times the size of most her classmates. What worst for her, Lavender had to shop for new outfits, and right now she having a hard time putting on her new bra. Nightshade was standing by her sister, and see if her little sister doing ok.

Nightshade: so dear sister, got the hang on putting on the new bra?

Lavender: of course I do, Nightshade I'm just trying to see if I can strap it on, but having a hard time reaching the hook.

Nightshade: I kind of notice that, but it would have been easier, if you told them to custom the bra at I cup size instead of H, because both you, and half breed are almost the same.

Lavender: *still struggling putting the bra on* true, but I'll be darn wearing I bra knowing that I got really big tits. I want be known as a book worm at school, not some Sassy Mondana..... No offense.

Nightshade: none taking, just be lucky you’re my little sister, and my one way ticket doing my homework. Look, if you need help just say it, I want to hurry this up quick, so we can get ready before we meet mom at the royal library.

Lavender: I know we have to meet mom, just let me try this on my *after a small struggle, she finally have them strap on* yes I did it. You see big sis, even H cup bra fit me just fine.

Nightshade: oh really, I guess all I need to do is count by five, four, three, two, one.

Lavender wasn't sure why her sister was counting backwards, until she heard a noise, which was coming from her bra. At first it was false alarm, until the strap behind her broke, and the custom bra just rip in two. Lavender look at the bra on the floor, upset that she spent a lot of coins on it, and it was ruin. Nightshade chuckle herself, and made her signature sassy remark.

Nightshade: well know, it look like someone was right about getting a much bigger bra size.

Lavender: sniff whatever, who need bra anyway, they are nothing more but lame looking.

Nightshade: *she look at her sister, and saw some tears in her eyes. She sigh to herself, knowing that she have help her* sigh, as per usual, your big sister have to solve everything. Give me a second.

Lavender look, and saw her sister pick up her rip bra, and took it with her by her bedside. Nightshade look at her night dresser, and grab some needle and thread. Nightshade sat down on her bed, and start sewing up her sister bra, she took her time making sure she stitched them properly. After a few minutes, Nightshade was done, and brought over her sister repair bra. Lavender look at them, and was happy that her sister fix them.

Lavender: wow sis, you fix my bra, and it look like you made them stronger too.

Nightshade: take it from me who spent most of their life being a thick girl. It best to know how to sew, especially fixing some small holes. How turn around, and let me tie the bra for you.

Lavender: ok then. Thanks again for the help big sis.

Nightshade: no problem, Lavender. Got to remember that even though I'm a sassy dragon, I still care about you.

Lavender: your right, but even if you help me, I still have to do favor on your homework?

Nightshade: consider it an install payment. *she hook up, Lavender bra* ok, you're all set, now let see if we can get ready, and meet mom.

Lavender: ok, but what about, Pumpkin Spice, should she be ready by now.

Nightshade: I hope so, because I already told that to be ready before *she stop talking halfway, until her bump into something soft, and fell on the floor* ouch, please don't tell me I bump into Short Cake breast again.

Pumpkin Spice: not this time, cousin Shadie, you bump into my stomach, and that tickle a lot *she laugh*

Both Pumpkin Spice, and Lavender chuckle each other, seeing that Nightshade was on the floor. Nightshade pretended that she didn't heard their laughter, and check up with her cousin. She got up from the floor, and see her much taller little cousin, Pumpkin Spice.

Nightshade: it's about time you were done taking a bath. Have you got your clothes on yet?

Pumpkin Spice: almost, cousin Shadie but I'm really having a problems putting in my sweater. I know I wore it a week ago, but now it doesn't it.

Nightshade look at her, Pumpkin Spice and see the sweater she trying to on barely fit her anymore. Nightshade face palm herself, knowing it going to take a few hours to pull that tight sweater off from her cousin.

Somewhere inside the royal library at the other side of the castle, Queen Ember was walking back and forth, waiting for her the kids to be here. She look at the grandfather clock nearby, and already five minutes passed the time they should be here. Queen Ember sigh to herself, knowing that she have to give them another lecture about being on time. While she was busy walking back and forth, another female dragon named Cinnamon the young sister of, Queen Ember was sitting down drinking some tea. Cinnamon look at her older sister, and try to reason her to relax.

Cinnamon: do you have to continue walking like that, Ember. You might round up making a hole on the floor like the time you did waiting for Santa to bring our presents as kids.

Queen Ember: I'll stop walking, until those kids of our get here. I directly told them to be here exactly on time, and so far it already been five minutes.

Cinnamon: it actually six minutes, but you got to remember they are just girls, not soldiers that we order around all day.

Queen Ember: I know that dear little sister, but Nightshade and Lavender will one day rule this kingdom, and I need them to show some proper manners as Princess.

Cinnamon: true, but you haven't gave them those titles yet, especially since your husband worries about their safety and pressure from all the royal duties.

Queen Ember: they still are Princesses, but after they graduated from the academy, they will have full title. But I'm still need to get, Nightshade to be on board about being a Queen one day, since she still argue with me of not wanting to be one.

Cinnamon: I thought you were going to make, Lavender the next heir of the throne?

Queen Ember: I was, but after Lavender had her.... growth spurt, most of the council want to change their mind, and have Nightshade be Queen instead.

Cinnamon: I'm guessing having a very large Queen sitting on an average size throne would be weird.

Queen Ember: you know most of family is a mixture of kobold, and dragons.

Cinnamon: I know big sis, especially our mother being a kobold, and most of our kids haven't seen her yet. Was she plan to visit for the holidays?

Queen Ember: she is, which why I wanted the kids be here, so we all can plan together, and be ready whenever she get here. I want to get a few things, and one of them is.

Before she finish her sentence, she heard the door of the library quack open, which mean someone was coming inside. She look to see two of her daughters, and her niece were standing by the entrance. Nightshade pant herself a little, knowing that she was running late. After catching her breath, Nightshade did her best to apology to her mom for running late.

Nightshade: sorry for running late mother, I was doing my best helping, Lavender and Short Cake getting ready.

Queen Ember: well it about time that you three got here anyway. You know how I am with tardiness, especially when I have some important things that I want to keep around on schedule.

Nightshade: ... oh I'm sorry about that mother, didn't know that we were ruining your precious schedule.

Queen Ember: oh I'm sorry, didn't know my own daughter trying to be sassy about my schedule, or you have something you want to say about it.

Nightshade: trust me mom, I always have a thing or two to talk about your schedule stuff, but that only the appetizer.

Queen Ember: humph figure as much, you always act rebellious of everything I'm trying to say. You know I'm just helping you to be better princess, so that way you be a better ruler as a Queen.

Nightshade: I know your trying to help mom, but I would mind a normally that always up our asses about tardiness, and royal stuff.

Queen Ember: *she up to Nightshade face* watch your language young lady

Nightshade: *she up to Queen Ember face* make me mom.

Both of them were at it each other face, feel like they were going to fight. Lavender see what going on, and got between them before things get worst.

Lavender: easy you two, you know dad doesn't want you two fight each other, whenever he is not home.

Queen Ember: you know I would never fight my own daughter, unless we are doing training. Which by the way sweet heart, you might want to try that little.

Nightshade: trust me mom, if we did fight, I'll make sure to grab that royal tail of yours and shove it somewhere good.

Queen Ember: I don't know where you getting these naughty words from young lady, but a good bar of royal soap will clean it up good.

Nightshade: try it mom, and I'll use that soap for something fun.

Lavender: *she blush* jeesh sis kinky much.

Pumpkin Spice: cousin Lavi, is Aunty Embie, and cousin Shadie fighting, I'm worried they might hurt each other.

Lavender: don't worry, Pumpkin Spice they were having a nice little chat. Is that right mom, and Nightshade.

Queen Ember, and Nightshade stare at each other with a stern look, knowing they are made at each other. But seeing that, Pumpkin Spice was worried about them, and they didn't want to see her sad. They settled their differences for now, just to keep her happy.

Queen Ember: were perfectly fine dear, Pumpkin Spice.

Nightshade: yeah! Mom and I just said some stuff is all.

Pumpkin Spice: ok then, I just hope you two not fighting anymore, and be happy all the time. Being happy is very nice, and bring family together.

Cinnamon: *she laugh* it always good to hear that, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin Spice pause for a second, after hearing a familiar voice in the background. Pumpkin look to see another walk towards, Queen Ember side, standing a few feet taller than her. Pumpkin was looking at the female dragon a bit, collecting her mind remembering who she was, since she haven't seen her a good while. Nightshade and Lavender stood extra quite, surprised to see their aunt, Cinnamon was here, not even knowing that she was going to stop by in the first place. Cinnamon walk to her daughter, a little surprised to see almost ten feet tall. Neither of them haven't said anything yet, until Cinnamon came out first.

Cinnamon: hello, Pumpkin Spice it good to see you again.

Pumpkin Spice: mama, is that really you

Cinnamon: it is sweetheart, it me your mother.

Pumpkin Spice: *she didn't said anything else, but her eyes were tearing up. She gave her mother a big hug and cry* mama, mama I really miss you.

Cinnamon: *she chuckle* I really miss you too, Pumpkin.

Pumpkin Spice: *she still crying* Mama, I miss you so much. I'm sorry if I made you upset with me. I'm so sorry mama.

Cinnamon: ..... Pumpkin *she place her hand by her daughter face* you didn't do nothing wrong. You always have and always been a good girl. I need you to stay with aunty Ember and your cousin, because I need you to be somewhere safe.

Pumpkin Spice: but I was safe with you, mama.

Cinnamon: I know, but mama was in..... mama had a war I need to fight alone. You were too pure to be part of it, and your safety was my top priority. So having you at Aunty Ember place was the place for you.

Pumpkin Spice: *she wanted to say more, but kept on hanging her more* I love you mama

Cinnamon: *she tear up a bit* I know, Pumpkin I love you too.

Lavender: holy smoke, is that actually aunty Cinnamon in person. I thought she was still with her husband?

Queen Ember: she was, but after the whole divorce situation was settled, Cinnamon was taking her time to gather her things, and tried to find a way to get to us.

Nightshade: that just it, I thought aunty Cinnamon couldn't come here, do of the lack information paperwork she had, especially since she left the royal guards years ago.

Queen Ember: it true her paperwork were out dated, but I manage to chat with someone that was able to scheme around the rules a little, and help me with my sister problem.

Nightshade: that good to hear mom, but I’m guessing their catch to get her here without any problem.

Queen Ember: there is, Cinnamon have to work at the Academy where you girls are attending. With her being a teacher there, it would make things a lot easier for her to stay here, without us dealing with the whole paperwork nonsense.

Lavender: nice job mom, not only you got aunty Cinnamon back, but also got her a job as well.

Queen Ember: of course, as a Queen I have to make sure that everything goes according a plan. Beside, most of the ideas were from you after all, Nightshade.

Lavender: come again?

Nightshade: *she blush* mom we agree you weren’t going to say anything.

Queen Ember: oops I guess I forgot about that.

Nightshade: ……

Lavender: sis what mom is talking about?

Nightshade: we’re talk about it some other time, Lavender. So mom, other than seeing aunty Cinnamon, what exactly you want us here for anyway.

Queen Ember: oh that right, your father is on his way to pick up my mother from the airport, she stopping by to visit for the holiday.

Lavender: oh no, don’t tell us Granny Ginger is coming here.

Nightshade: out of all the people that are a pain in the dragon rear, is Granny Ginger.

Queen Ember: first of all, your grandmother is a kobold, and don’t forget that. Secondly, I know us all not a big fan for her, but she still family, and we have to show some love for them. Even if they are a pain in a butt, and would never stop writing to me about some prince kobold she met.

Nightshade: I’m guessing, Granny Ginger still trying to make you meet some random kobold prince again.

Queen Ember: no matter how much I told her that I’m happy with your father, she still suggested that I met with someone with more to her liking.

Lavender: but dad is a really good guy mom, she got to at least know that …right?

Nightshade: were talking about an old lady who prefer things the old fashion way. If grandma had her way, you and I would have been full kobold, not half.

Queen Ember: look, let be a little mindful with my mother. Yes she is old fashion, but family. Now then, since my mom will be here a little soon, we need to get ourselves ready, and greet her.

Nightshade: sigh, alright mom, but if granny Ginger crack jokes about my weight again, I’m so not going to hold back.

Lavender: *nervous* she only kidding mom

Queen Ember: oh I know, Lavender and let hope it only a joke, Nightshade is making.

Nightshade roll her eyes, not caring that much of what her mother said, and walk out from the library. Lavender fallow her sister, trying her best to chat with her. Queen Ember sigh to herself, knowing it going to be one of those night. Before she does anything, she saw her sister Cinnamon, and her daughter Pumpkin Spice walk by, just to see how things are going.

Cinnamon: is everything alright between you, and your daughter big sister?

Queen Ember: everything fine so far, other than telling my daughters that our mother is coming to visit.

Cinnamon: mother is coming here, she the last person I want to see right now

Queen Ember: I know, and mother is still upset with you for breaking up with your husband, instead finding a way staying together.

Cinnamon: I know she is upset about it, but it was my choice, and my choice alone. Beside, my ex and I understand the situation, and willing to work things out. My one, and only goal right is to be with my daughter, Pumpkin and that all I care about right now.

Pumpkin Spice: *she hug her* and I’m happy to be with mama

Queen Ember: …. Sigh that all I wanted to hear. Now then, since neither you, nor mom would be in good terms talking one another, I guess I had no choice but to ask you to step out for a little while, until mom settle down for a while.

Cinnamon: don’t tell me you’re kicking me out already. I just got here sis, and don’t exactly have enough coins to stay at a hotel right now.

Queen Ember: don’t worry too much about it sis, I got you covered. You, and Pumpkin will be staying at nice hotel on Main Street. I know the owner there, and I’ll tell him to have a nice room for you two to stay at. Also I want you to have some quality time with your daughter as well. I’ll leave some coins on the side, so you both can shop as much you like.

Pumpkin Spice: oh mama, if aunty Ember gave you coins, can we go buy candy.

Cinnamon: of course, Pumpkin Spice, and we will both buy our favorites.

Pumpkin Spice: “Pumpkin Spice”

Cinnamon: and “Cinnamon”

Queen Ember face palm to herself, knowing how much those two are very alike when it comes to candy. But deep down, she is very happy that her young sister is able to be with her daughter again. Once they left the castle, Cinnamon, and her daughter Pumpkin Spice reach the town square of Sleepy Hallow, where they can see everyone walking around, and heading for the stores to gain the last minute gifts. Cinnamon was happy to see the town square that she use to

It was the middle of the night at the town of Sleepy Hallow, everyone were walking around Main Street, heading for the stores, and buying the last minute gifts. Cinnamon was happy to see the main street was still busy the last time she was hear. Her mind was going back the days that she was patrolling the streets during her guard duty days. Beside from that, she imagine of her little daughter, Pumpkin Spice was running around happy, while holding her favorite balloon. Cinnamon was close by with her daughter, making sure she doesn’t hurt herself. Little Pumpkin Spice was having so much fun, but didn’t notice that she trip on something, and fell to the ground. Little Pumpkin Spice was fine, but notice that her favorite was flying away. Little Pumpkin Spice saw her balloon flying away, and then started to cry. Cinnamon was close by, and hug her daughter to comfort her. Cinnamon told her little daughter to be strong for her, and she will get her another balloon. Little Pumpkin Spice hug her mom tight, but still cry a little. Cinnamon finally came back to reality, after she heard her daughter was calling to her. Cinnamon look up to her daughter, and see if she need something.

Cinnamon: is something wrong, Pumpkin?

Pumpkin Spice: I’m fine mommy, I was just checking on you is all. I saw you day screaming about something.

Cinnamon: … Day sreamining?

Pumpkin Spice: yeah day sreamining. It like day dreaming, but you swinging through the ocean of memories of fun stuff. So I usually call it day sreamining

Cinnamon: *she laugh* oh Pumpkin, you know how to make your mother laugh.

Pumpkin Spice: *she cheer* yeah! I made mommy happy.

Cinnamon: you always make me happy sweetheart. Just seeing you being cheerful, and being yourself is the ultimate happiness I ever wanted.

Pumpkin Spice: really mom, but I thought you wanted me to be normal like other kids.

Cinnamon: what do you mean by that?

Pumpkin Spice didn’t say anything yet, except walking up to a nearby fountain with some fish swimming inside of it. Pumpkin Spice look inside the fountain for a bit, until she finally tell her mother.

Pumpkin Spice: I remember hearing you and father arguing about something. I didn’t hear it as much, since there was some bad words. But I heard one of them mention about me being normal

Cinnamon: ……..

Pumpkin Spice: mama, I know you said you wasn’t my fault of what happened back home, but I know I’m different from everyone else. If you want me to try and act like everyone else, I can do it. I just …. I just don’t know

Cinnamon: Enough!!

Pumpkin Spice pause when her mother yell out loud, almost everyone could hear her from a distance. Cinnamon look at her daughter both worried, but the same time a little upset, but not at her daughter. Cinnamon knew the arguments she had with her husband in the past had harm her daughter mind, and knew that she need to fix this mess. Cinnamon walk up to her daughter, and did the best she can to explain herself.

Cinnamon: listen to me, Pumpkin you are perfect just the way you are.

Pumpkin Spice: but mama

Cinnamon: no young lady, just …. Just listen to me for this one time. What I said back then was a terrible mistake I made. Your father, and I were arguing over nonsenses stuff. There were words I said, which art of me regret even of saying it.

Pumpkin Spice: ….

Cinnamon: Pumpkin Spice, I only care about your happiness, and I want you to be yourself. I don’t want you to be normal like everyone else. You are very special just the way you are, and I love you so much the way you are.

Pumpkin Spice pause of what her mother said, feeling happy that her mother love her the way she is. Pumpkin Spice gave her mom a big hug again, thanking her a lot.

Pumpkin Spice: thank you mama, I’m happy you love me of who I am.

Cinnamon: your welcome sweetheart. Now let stop talking about the sad part and let *she pause for a moment, after her nose was smelling something good* honey, did you smell that.

Pumpkin Spice: *she start sniffing the air* oh I can smell it too mama, it pumpkin spice muffin.

Cinnamon: where there pumpkin spice muffin, there a bakery nearby.

Pumpkin Spice: come on mama, let fallow the smell.

Cinnamon nod to what her daughter said, and both of them fallow the smell of pumpkin spice. While the two gone chase after some yummy treat, at the other side of the water fountain, two teens were hanging out together. A female tiger shark with puffy fro hair had her feet in the water, enjoying the coldness between her toes. The Female tiger shark know that she shouldn’t have her feet in the water fountain, but part of her didn’t care much, and continue relaxing her feet there. The other female was sitting right next with the female tiger shark, she even had her doggy paws dip in the cold water, but felt a little chilly.

Yuri Kagura: ouch! I nearly forgot how cold the water was.

Scary Spice Chip’s: we’re still in the winter season, Yuri so the water will be a little cold. Still, it good to feel the water again, especially how long I been away from it.

Yuri Kagura: that right, you and your family had been moving around a lot, do of your parents being archeologist.

Scary Spice Chip’s: yeah! My parents had us moving around a lot, so we never stayed in one place very long. Me and my little sisters tried our best to get use with the different schools, but each one were worse than the last one.

Yuri Kagura: yes, and I was lucky enough to get some information from those schools.

Scary Spice Chip’s: … what kind of information you heard about me?

Yuri Kagura: nothing special, gotten twelve detention for beating up a couple students for looking at you funny. Even were close being expelled for pulling a prank on a teacher.

Scary Spice Chip’s: that teacher was making fun of my little sister height.

Yuri Kagura: that what I heard. Your sister name is Ginger Spice Chip’s, well gifted student in science, and …. Woah she is a Megalodon

Scary Spice Chip’s: yes, got a problem with my sister being a Megalodon

Yuri Kagura: no, it just Megalodon are super rare species. Not many see them very often, let alone seeing one in class.

Scary Spice Chip’s: you kind of forgetting that we are living in a world that magic, and science coexist a little bit.

Yuri Kagura: yeah I tend to forget that.

Scary Spice Chip’s: look other than having a conversation about my past, why is it you want to me for. I know it we’re not here for muffin and tea.

Yuri Kagura: *she smile* you got me there, Ms. Chip’s. It true I didn’t just invite you here to chat, I was curious if you want to join my little group.

Scary Spice Chip’s: what kind of group you got?

Yuri Kagura: nothing special really. I’m just making some new friends that want to hang out together, and take over a school as well.

Scary Spice Chip’s: what do you mean take over a school?

Yuri Kagura: it nothing bad really, as the school student president at the school, I have some power that allow me to do whatever I like. I’m trying my best to get some of my plans in order, but I need a special group of friends to help me out.

Scary Spice Chip’s: why you need me to be part of your group. I’m nothing more than a simple old bully, someone with that popular status might need someone better than me.

Yuri Kagura: that true of what you said, I can easily have someone else that do what I say, but in truth I need real friends. *she grab a muffin from her basket” and someone like you be perfect being a good friend of mine.

Scary Spice Chip’s: so what if you want me to join, what I get out of it?

Yuri Kagura: *she finish up eating the muffin* does the name Britney Fear ring any bells?

The End?
