"I like apples." Sam muttered as she plucked one from a branch overhead. "Wonderful." Aragon replied as he scowled and scowled and scowled some more. "Well. Excuse me, DEAR. It is something that comes to mind when one is STUCK IN A FU**ING APPLE TREE!" Sam said as she looked at the ground far below.
"Hush now, wife. My absence will not go unnoticed. I am a king after all." Araon said smugly. "Yeah. A heartless evil wretch of a king." Sam muttered as she twirled a leaf between her fingers. Sam was still peeved about her capture. She was almost as good as gone when Danny just had to get in the way. A few more seconds and she would have been home free. But no. He ends up receiving brain-damage and floating back through the Ghost Portal. Poor Danny.
Ofcourse, she was still angry. It had only been a year ago that she had married Prince (King) Aragon. He wasn't as horrible as he was in the past. Sam had denied him some of marriages more...pleasurable activities until he treated others like equals. He still hadn't gotten any, but oh how he was trying.
Sam thought it was almost laughable how they had gotten stuck in an apple tree. She would laugh about it later, when she was nice and warm in bed. But now, one of her husbands many enemies had attacked while he was flying with her on his back. Sam grinned a tiny bit. If he hadn't landed in this apple tree, they would have crashed into a mountain-side.
To be honest, Sam was amazed by the tree itsself. It was huge. There were no corporations or factories to hinder the nature of this realm. The grass was so green. The air was so clean. Even the apple tree was suprisingly massive. The apples were huge and fresh.
She picked one, wiped it on her jerkin and bit into it. Natural. Sam was all about that kind of stuff. Sam looked at the apple in her hand. 'Maybe this won't be so bad.' she thought. Her husband gave a sigh. 'If he learns to relax.'
She let out a sigh of her own and began to maneuver her way to the branch he occupied. He looked up and moved to help her. "Be careful wife. You may never age here but you can feel pain." he said as he pulled her against his side.
She nodded. "Do you remember my name Aragon?" she asked. He laughed. "You are my wife. Ofcourse I know your name." he said. "What is it?" she asked to see if he really did know. Sometimes she had to wonder, because Wife was most certainly not her name.
"Samantha, but you prefer Sam." he said and pulled an apple from the tree and began to eat it. They sat in silence for hours. The night began to creep closer.
Sams eyes refused to stay open. She lent against her husband. He sighed deeply and began rubbing her back. "I know what you think of me. Your opinion of my person is barely above disdain. I am a horrible person Sam, even I know that. But you are my wife and I don't want to be a horrible person to you. Someimes I will act cold. In public there is much that is expected of me. I can not show weakness under the scrutiny of my people."
"You must try to understand what I do is to protect not only myself,but you and my kingdom aswell." he said quietly, running his fingers through her hair. 'He is a man trapped in his duty.' Sam thought sleepily. Aragon looked around closely.
"It appears our attackers have fled. Are you able to climb upon my back?" he asked. Sam nodded affirmative and watched as he transfomed into his dragon self. She carefully situated herself and he took off.
Later that night she watched her husband as he dressed himself for bed. He removed his crown carefully. (His jawline doesn't stick out like it does on the telly.) He climbs into bed beside her. "Goodnight love."he whispers sleepily. For the first time in her life, Sam gently kissed her husband on the lips. He wrapped his arm around her waist, buried his face in her neck, and went to sleep.
Sam smiled as she drifted off to sleep. 'All it takes is time...and maybe an apple or two.'
