The Happy Couple (Tag: Alidia and Rahim) rated M

Zoey let out a cheerful giggled as she changed their clothes. She wore a short black cocktail dress with her long black hair in a braid and ruby-like slippers and her beloved wore a dress shirt and and pants. She smiled as she put their magical rods aside as music started to play. "Care to dance with me?" she curtsied like she did when they first met.

"I would be honored." Basil said with a gentlemanly bow.  This time, he was more confident.  He took the lead in this dance.

Zoey smiled as they danced. It felt like it was just them. The rest of everything else disappeared. She felt so protected in Basil's arms and she giggled as they sat down on the table. "Tea my dear?" she asked

"Oh yes.  Would you care for Jasmine or Darjeeling?" Basil asked.  Tea was something he was an expert on.

Zoey smiled as the magical rods laid next to them. "I'll take the Jasmine please with a pinch of sugar and some honey." She muttered a spell to make a bouquet of winter roses appear. "For the man I love..."

Basil chuckled at the sweet moment.  He took a minute to inhale the scent of the flowers.  He put them in a vase before he started to prepare the tea.  After getting some water to boil and adjusting the heat as needed, he placed a bag of Jasmine tea into the pot to flavor it.
"That will be done in about ten minutes." Basil estimated.

"Ten minutes...what to do in ten minutes..." Zoey giggled as she moved closer to Basil. She raised her rod to make the table into a feast. She looked at Oswald and the royal guards. "Let's feast as a family..." Zoey said with a smile and kissed Basil's lips.

"Well you heard her, everyone.  Make yourselves comfortable." Basil invited them all to sit and dine with them.  He sat at the head of the table, with his dear Zoey one his right side.

Zoey smiled. "I love a family gathering don't you?" She cleared her throat as she rised her wine goblet. "To family friends well-being and peace in Wonderland..." Zoey started to feel a little dizzy but shook it off. Unaware to the couple that Zoey was getting sick with a rare disease that was uncureble.

As Basil took a sip of wine, Oswald slipped him a small vial filled with a purple liquid.  At first, he was shocked.  He knew all too well what that was; Jabberwock blood.
"Why are you giving me this?" he asked his friend, quietly.
"Just a precaution.  His blood can do whatever you want it to do.  Maybe you can use it if she gets very sick one day." Oswald whispered back.

Zoey smiled at her beloved as she was handing out food for the guards. She waved as she handed out sandwiches. She looked fine and she felt dizzy again. Grrr I wanna feel great but I feel so drained... Zoey thought to herself. She started to get tipsy. "Too much wine your highness..." a royal guard asked as everyone laughed. Zoey giggled.

However, Basil was not laughing.  He wasn't sure what was happening, but it looked like she might be sick.  Maybe Oswald had a point in giving him his little present.
"Are you feeling well, love?" he asked her.

Zoey looked at Basil as she started walking to him holding her magic rod as a walking stick. Then it happened. She collapsed. She stopped breathing and her body began to turn cold.

Basil hurried to her side.  He placed a hand against her forehead.  She felt very cold under his touch.
Quickly, he uncorked the vial.  Then, he held the vial to her lips.  His thoughts were only of her getting better.
"Please get well, my dear.  We all need you.  I need you." he murmured as she drank the contents of the glass.

Zoey fluttered her eyes opened as she saw her beloved by her side. "Basil..." she began shivering. "W--why I'm so cold and..." she started sneezing. "I don't feel well..." she grasped his hand with hers scared she might lose him. "I'm so scared..." she started shaking.

"Don't worry, love.  You'll be okay.  You're going to recover from this, I know you will." Basil said, his voice trembling as he wished with all his heart that this worked and she would be cured.

Zoey looked her beloved's eyes and saw sorrow. She groaned in pain as she got up. She began walking to her magical rod. "I Zoey Redbird beg and cast a spell from the bottom of my heart make me well cause my beloved can't do it alone..." she looked again at Basil. "Please..." she begged. Then there was a bright light from the rod and it was glowing brighter and brighter until it knocked Zoey back in a wall. The rod listened to Zoey's plea and knew she and Basil were purehearted so she was healed but they didn't know it yet.

Basil, too, had been knocked into the wall.  He massaged the spot on his head that had hit the wall to ease the ache.  Then, he scrambled to Zoey's side.
"Dear, are you feeling alright?" he asked.

Zoey didn't feel sick anymore. She smiled and giggled as she embraced her beloved. "I'm feeling amazing like a new person..." she kissed Basil's lips passionately with her tongue slipping inside. "How's that for feeling better?" she caressed his cheeks.

Basil squeaked in surprise at this.  But it was a welcome surprise.  He kissed her back until they needed to breath.
"You've convinced me.  I think you're going to be just fine now." Basil said with a big grin.  He leaned into kiss her again.  It was the sweetest tasting thing his lips had ever sampled.
Just then, Rahim felt the dream changing again.  This time, he wasn't prepared for the fall.  As it happened, he couldn't help but think 'Oh come on, it was just getting good!'

(OCC: nice one with rahim lol I am laughing my pants off.)

Alidia wanted to see the romance build between these two but she couldn't cause she felt like she was dreamfalling. She looked at her outfit. She gasped. It was so...so reveling. Only if Rahim could this... But her name wasn't Alidia it was Tori. She touched the ground and plants started to grow. She was like a nature elf of some sort. But she was in a cage.

(OOC: I couldn't resist making him be a bit funny here.  It was a way to show that she's rubbing off on him too.)

Rahim heard a name in his head: Ros'jin.  He found himself to be a troll of the Darkspear tribe, eight feet tall with blue skin, wild red hair, and a set of tusks at the corners of his mouth.  This was typical of trolls and orcs, though the tusks on a troll could be more impressive.  He had three fingers on each hand, and two toes on each foot.  He was dressed in leather armor, shirt, and pants and carried a bow and quiver of arrows.  He had been in this jungle for over two weeks, avoiding the soldiers of the Warchief who sought to eliminate anyone who didn't agree with his ideals.
"Garrosh Hellscream, my cousin was right about you." Ros'jin muttered as he saw a female Blood Elf in a cage.  He pondered if he should get her out.  Something told him she wasn't a Rogue by class.

(OCC: really lol Alidia was a bit of of a trouble child but with Rahim she had a change of heart.)

Tori looked around at all the guards. She growled under her breath. "How am I going to get out of here..." Then she had a crazy idea. She touched the ground making a giant flower surrounding her as her cage was breaking. "It's working..." she smiled but then she smelled smoke. The guards set her flower on fire. She started to suffocate and coughing. "Someone please help..." she passed out in her flower. Her red hair covering her face and ears.

"Oh, not in my jungle, you don't." Ros'jin hissed when he saw this.  He notched two arrows into his bow and shot the guards.  One was hit in the throat, the other right between the eyes.  He quickly kicked some dirt onto the flames to put it out.  Using water would create smoke, and the last thing he wanted out here was to attract unwanted attention.
"He pushed the petals of the flower open to look at the Blood elf inside the cage.  Yep, definitely a Mage.  As he looked at the dead guards, he spotted a set of keys.  Grinning, he picked them up with careless abandon.
"I'll just be keeping these.  You don't mind that now, do you mon?" the troll asked, knowing they couldn't answer him.  He opened the cage and lifted the girl out.  She was slim and wiry compared to his athletic muscles.  And at only six feet tall, he towered over her, ever when hunched over.  Feeling he had overstayed his welcome, he retreated into the dense jungle with his fellow prisoner.

Tori was starting to come to. She softly moaned as she opened her bright green eyes and gasped as she saw that she was saved by a troll. She had to thank him somehow. Then she smiled as she muttered quietly a spell of a blue frost rose in the young troll's pocket. But then the smoke inhalation she had in her system knocked her out again. "Thank you..." she said softly as she passed out again.
