"Well, butter my biscuit, isn't this a fine pickle..." tries wriggling her wrists, sighing heavily.
Olive I am so sorry! What have they done to you. I was trying to buy new shoes at the carnival and when I came back you were gone. I looked around for you and then... This note fell out of your pocket. I show you the note they left
"Please, don't be mad at me!" tears start streaming down her face, she sniffles. "I never wanted this to happen, but someone wanted to mess with my man. They even put a spell on my clothes so I couldn't go to him!" starts sobbing and wailing
Olive... Olive why didn't you say anything when we were shopping yesterday? We could've avoided all of this. Starts untying you
"Oh, Riusceiv!" hugs him tightly, burying her face in his chest, sobbing into him. "I was just trying to find a new outfit for us to match! I thought it would be fun to surprise you! I just never expected this! And now look at me!" she looks down, feeling silly
It's alright Olive. I love you no matter what you're wearing
sniffs "You mean that?" looks up at Riusceiv, her eyes full of hope
Of course Olive Takes off the spell and helps you stand Do you think I would still love you if you were wearing sweatpants and an oversized hoodie?
"Then why would some ugly people tying me up change the way you feel about me?" gives Riusceiv a little wink, and then giggles
You know Olive... The more I see people try to hurt you, the more I want to do to protect you.
"Oh, Riusceiv! Would you mind being my knight in shining armor?" giggles playfully and winks "I would love nothing more than to marry you and have lots of little Oilies!" hugs Riusceiv tightly and kisses him
So we take that as a yes? I will never stop loving you Olive
"Yes, yes, a thousand times yes!" kisses Riusceiv passionately and hugs him tightly "And let's have our wedding right here in this amusement park! With cotton candy clouds, and popcorn flowers! And instead of a cake, we could have a mountain of french fries!" giggles, and then sighs, and then giggles again, her happiness infectious
Alright then! Sounds like a plan! But first things first... They are gonna pay for what they did to you Olive. Now come on, we've wasted enough time already.
"Yeah! They deserve to be put in jail for ruining my sweater and my makeup!" smirks and starts walking towards the captors, standing up straight proudly
Olive, I'm not going to hurt them, but I can guarantee you that you won't have to put up with anyone treating you like this again.
"Thank you, kind sir!" bows to Riusceiv respectfully "I am so happy you are my hero!" walks beside Riusceiv, her heart full of joy "You know, Riusceiv, you deserve a medal for being such a nice, caring gentleman!" hugs Riusceiv's arm and squeezes it
Well Olive, I'm glad you never said anything about what happened yesterday because if you did I wouldn't have gone shopping with you today and wouldn't have found this note and wouldn't have come back when I did and...
"And they would still be kidnapping me right now!" gasps dramatically, her eyes wide with disbelief and shock "Oh Riusceiv, you are so clever! You really did save my life!" claps her hands together excitedly "I am going to reward you later tonight! Maybe with some olive oil on your pasta!" giggles and winks
Olive! I... uh... Thanks Olive
"It's alright darling, I understand." pats Riusceiv's hand comfortingly "Just knowing that I made you happy makes me happy." smiles at Riusceiv softly "And plus, if I reward you tonight with olive oil on your pasta, you'll probably gain a whole new appreciation for olive oil! Isn't that a win-win?" winks playfully and nudges Riusceiv gently
Oh Olive, Olive. That night I will reward you like you have never been rewarded before
"Well then, my dear Riusceiv! It seems that there's no time like the present, right?" winks and takes Riusceiv's hand, pulling him towards the captors. "Let's show these people that heroes always win, and villains always get punished!" she giggles and runs to attack the kidnappers, starting a fight
Snaps and their bodies explode That's how it's done, Sweetheart
"Wow! You are amazing, Riusceiv!" claps excitedly and jumps up and down in place, giggling "That was so cool!" hugs Riusceiv and gives him a big kiss on the cheek "Thank you so much for saving me, darling!" giggles and hugs Riusceiv again "And I hope that one day, I can become a hero just like you!"
Why do that Olive? Being a hero doesn't involve killing people.
"Haha! Good point, Riusceiv!" laughs and claps Riusceiv on the back "But you know what else is a good point? We are both super clever and talented! And even though our talents might be different, they are equally valuable! For instance, I am really good at planning and being optimistic, while you are awesome at magic and expressing yourself through actions! And in combination, we make the perfect pair!" grabs Riusceiv's hands and spins around in pure joy
I guess you're right Olive, but please don't call me a magician, I prefer wizard.
since we are such a fantastic pair, why don't we build a house together? A magical one, of course! Just imagine having a beautiful house full of fairy lights and bookshelves! It would be amazing!" holds Riusceiv's hands and pulls him closer, speaking eagerly and excitedly
"Yay!" jumps up and down in place "I knew you'd say that! We are going to have the most wonderful home in all of Sweethaven!" pauses "But first, we should celebrate our victory! Let's go eat ice cream from that cute little shop we found last week! They had the most delicious flavors!" giggles and tugs Riusceiv's hand, leading him away from the carnage and into the town
Yeah! Olive, would you mind telling me how those powers of yours work? we walk to our ice cream shop as Olive explains
"Of course, Riusceiv!" grins and scoots closer to Riusceiv "So basically, whenever I clap, I release super tiny magical particles called 'clapsicles' that change the molecular structure of objects around me, causing them to either dissolve or form into something else! It's pretty amazing!" claps her hands and watches as a nearby rock melts into a puddle "See?!"
There's no scientific explanation for that Olive, those Clapsicles may actually exist, but I am definitely not looking forward to learning quantum physics. Let's just enjoy our ice creams now
"Absolutely, Riusceiv!" smiles happily and takes a spoonful of strawberry ice cream "There is so much in this world to discover and experience! And besides, learning science sounds like a ton of fun!" giggles and claps her hands
We both go to grab our cones but I accidentally take Olive's, so we share Thanks Olive, I'm not usually supposed to accept gifts but when it comes to ice cream, I'll make an exception
"Aw, well it's no trouble at all, Riusceiv!" giggles and pouts her lips, giving Riusceiv a little puppy-dog-eyes look "If sharing my ice cream makes you happy, then I am very happy too!" places her cone beside her and wraps her arms around Riusceiv, squeezing him gently "You make me the happiest girl in Sweethaven! Thank you, sweetheart!"
