*yaaaaawn*....have I mentioned that I LOVE having to be up early?  oh, crap, I missed a lot!
*looks around and realizes that shy is out and he isn't*
hrm...yes...it would appear as if my master plan worked!  ...yes, that's it, quite. :/  *pulls out cell phone since everyone is in sleepyville*
good thing even fairies and dragons and queens have to sleep, hehe.  *makes a quick few calls quietly.  moments later, my fairy backups arrive*
Navi, Tatl, Tael, do your stuff!
*one fairy sneaks up to queenie, peacefully dreaming, and takes the key while the others work on shutting down said laser system of tickle death.  moments later, we have a free Game...er...Trip, whatever I call myself*
😀  and this would be the advantage of being forced to get up early, hehe.  fairy squad, good job.  go keep an eye on queenie and let her know when she gets up that she could have been the one in these stocks right now, but I was playing nice.  this time, hehe.
*walks over and smiles at his tired queen.  kisses his hand and touches her cheek*
next time, queenie, we'll get to see your soft side, hehe.
*glances over at shy*
thanks for the concern, dear.  I'll be nice to you later on, too.  maybe even avoid those pretty ribs!
[we're going to end up on the story forums at this rate, haha :lol ]
