Felines and Fantasy Novels
It was raining heavily outside. It was coming down in buckets, as some humans would say. Seeing as that terminology would make trolls very uncomfortable though, THEY would say it was raining barkebeasts and miaowbeasts.
Put it this way, it was raining. A lot.
Rose Lalonde was leaning against the doorframe of her porch, watching the rain come down. She found the sound of the rain soothing and the smell...hm...it reminded her of-
"Rosie? What ya doing?" asked Roxy, Rose's sister.
Without looking at the other, Rose replied "Watching the rain, taking a break from writing."
"Oh? So not daydreaming over that guy you're head over heels for?" teased Roxy.
"Of course not. What are you talking about-" Rose finally looked turned to look at Roxy and froze when she saw her.
Roxy was wearing a ballgown that heavily resembled the one that Lily James wore in the 2015 Live Action version of Cinderella (Google it). But instead of blue, it was a dark pink that matched the colour of Roxy's eyes.
Rose smiled slightly "You look like a princess from a fairytale."
"Aww thank you Rosie!" grinned Roxy, hugging her sister tightly.
"Must you always call me that?" the purple eyed sister sighed in resignation.
"Duh. You're my Rosie. My Rose Petal. My little Rosebud." Roxy said playfully, booping Rose on the nose.
Rose batted the pink eyed sister away, going back to her thoughtful silence. All that could be heard once more was the pitter patter of the rain outside.
"So, Rosie-" began Roxy after a moment.
"...Do you think Eridan could ever like someone like me?" Rose asked suddenly.
"Ah so that's the name of your mystery man?" asked Roxy gently, putting an an around Rose.
Rose nodded shyly, blushing slightly.
"Well," continued Roxy "I honestly think that Eridan would have be crazy, blind or stupid to not to see that someone amazing is waiting right in front of him."
"Really...?" Rose looked doubtful.
"Really. Trust me, little sis. Wonk." Roxy winked.
Rose tucked her head into the crook of Roxy's neck. She always did this when she was saying the one thing she never said with words, which was ironic considering one of her hobbies was writing literature. The one thing Rose never said to her sister with words? I love you.
Roxy knew this well and was happy to let her sister be quiet and cuddly. Several times in the past, Roxy had teased Rose about being very feline in behaviour when she was being affectionate. Rose secretly never minded.
"Don't worry about Ampora." Roxy said softly "If he feels the same way about you as you do about him, you'll find out eventually. Remember: good things come to those who wait."
"Alright..." whispered Rose "But...if he asked...I'd be his." she confessed.
"...Isn't that a quote from Les Mis?" mused Roxy.
"Maybe. Am I not allowed to quote our favourite musical now?" Rose smiled slightly.
"Oh no, it's makes you as bad as Jean Valjean." Roxy replied sarcastically "Even though all he did was steal was some bread." she added.
Rose laughed lightly (when it came to referencing Les Mis, Roxy was as bad as she was. Not that Rose would ever admit that). She removed Roxy's arm from her shoulder before, taking both of her sister's hands in her own.
"I meant what I said though, you do look beautiful." she smiled.
"Thanks Rosie. Have you got your own dress sorted?"asked Roxy.
"Indeed, I'm wearing my velvet squiddleknit dress." nodded Rose.
Roxy knew which dress Rose was talking about: The dress featured a gray shirt and a black-and-purple-striped bodice, a purple skirt, gold straps, and a gold rope belt with a Squiddle buckle. Rose had a gold hairband to go with it, and a pair of black heels.
"Then you'll look pretty as a princess too." smiled Roxy, then let go of Rose's hands "But I'm going to go and get changed before I spoil this dress."
"You do that and I'll make us some hot chocolate, then we can watch the rain some more." decided Rose.
"Hell yeah! Quality time with my little sis!" Roxy grinned before leaving.
Rose smiled to herself before heading to the kitchen, three minute black fluffy kittens by the names of Frigglish, Jaspers and Mutie frolicking at her heels.
