Alaric is sleeping in his bed, he slowly starts to open his eyes.
"What time is it?" Alaric mumbles, still tired.
Alaric then sits up. "Vix?" Alaric asks.
Vix appears on Alaric's bed, sitting right next to Alaric. "Yes?" Vix asks.
Alaric tightly hugs Vix. "Hi!" Alaric exclaims.
"Prince Alaric, seriously! I don't wanna be hugged!" Vix says.
Alaric giggles, he then gets off his bed.
"You wanna play?!" Alaric exclaims.
"Play what?" Vix asks.
"Bubbles, dress up, tag, or whatever you want!" Alaric replies.
"You have bubbles?" Vix asks.
"Yes! So many bubble toys! And also water guns!" Alaric exclaims.
"Where?" Vix asks.
"Come on!" Alaric exclaims. Alaric then runs out of his room.
Vix jumps off of Alaric's bed, following Alaric.
Alaric leads Vix to a large room full of toys.
Vix curiously looks around. "Woah..." Vix quietly mutters. "I don't know if I've ever seen this many toys in one place..."
"How rich is your family?" Vix asks.
"Rich enough to have maids, butlers, personal chefs, and so much other stuff." Alaric replies.
"Ooh! We can play and then after I get food I can sneak some to my room for you to try!" Alaric exclaims.
"Alright, I'm okay with that." Vix replies.
Alaric grabs some water and bubble guns.
"We need to fill the water guns up first!" Alaric says.
Vix points at the water guns. "They have water in them though." Vix replies.
"Huh? Oh! Cool! You did the magic thing again!" Alaric says.
Vix picks up a water gun, shooting it at Alaric.
"Hey! No fair! I wasn't ready!" Alaric giggles. Alaric then picks up a water gun, aiming at Vix back.
-A couple hours pass-
"Prince Alaric?" A voice calls out.
Alaric and Vix look at the door as there's a knock on the door.
"One minute!" Alaric replies.
"How easily can you hide? Oh! Unless you can act like a toy so I can maybe bring you to breakfast!" Alaric whispers.
Vix nods. "I can do that." Vix whispers.
"Prince Alaric, what are you doing in there?" The voice asks, then the door knob starts to turn, the door opens. Alaric picks Vix up as Vix stops moving.
"Hello Miss Juniper! I was just playing with some toys!" Alaric says.
"Okay, well just so you know Prince Alaric, breakfast is ready." Miss Juniper says.
"Got it!" Alaric says as he starts to exit the room, following Miss Juniper downstairs.
Miss Juniper looks at Vix. "May I ask when you got that toy Prince Alaric? I don't recognize it?" Miss Juniper asks.
"You should recognize him, I've had him for a while now! I decided I wanna bring him to breakfast." Alaric replies.
"Really? Alright, are you sure the King and Queen are gonna be alright with that?" Miss Juniper asks.
"I don't care what Papá and Mamá say, I'm five!" Alaric says.
"Hey Prince Alaric? How come your clothes are all wet?" Miss Juniper asks.
"I was playing with water guns, that's also why my toy is wet." Alaric says.
They get to the end of the staircase and start walking to the dining room.
"Good morning Alaric." King Thornhart says.
"Morning Papá, and morning Mamá." Alaric replies.
"Good morning." Queen Thornhart replies.
"Why do you have a toy at the dining table, Alaric?" King Thornhart asks.
"Because I can Papá." Alaric says.
They start eating breakfast.
-A little later-
"Hey, chef Emily? Would you mind making me some macaroni that I can take up to my room?" Alaric asks a cook.
"Sure Prince Alaric, how much would you like?" Chef Emily replies.
"I can bring the rest down here when I'm done, so can you make whatever you can actually make?" Alaric asks.
"Of course Prince Alaric, I'll let you know when I'm done." Chef Emily says.
"Thank you!" Alaric exclaims.
Alaric then runs over to a chair. "There, now we can both eat some macaroni!" Alaric whispers.
"It's so annoying to stay quiet and sit still for so long..." Vix whispers.
Alaric giggles.
-After Alaric and Vix get the food and eat it-
"So? Why were you in our backyard yesterday?" Alaric asks.
"I dunno. I was just walking and saw you were annoyed, so I wanted to know why." Vix replies.
"How long have you known how to talk, and walk?" Alaric asks.
"I've known how to talk since I was a few minutes old, but I always had a slight impermanence, basically a lisp, since I was ten. I could walk perfectly since I started walking, which was possibly about fifteen minutes old, maybe." Vix says.
"You had a lisp when you were younger? And how did you know how to walk perfectly since you started walking?" Alaric asks.
"Yes, and I wasn't tripping. A good Vampire needs balance." Vix replies.
"Do you hate tripping?" Alaric asks.
"Definitely, can't stand it." Vix replies.
"Hey, Vix? Could you cuddle with me?" Alaric asks.
"Why?" Vix asks.
"I dunno... I just wanna be able to cuddle with an animal, and you're a great friend!" Alaric replies.
"I guess so." Vix says.
Alaric lays down, Vix lays down beside Alaric. Alric falls asleep with the two cuddling. Vix lays there with his eyes closed, after a couple hours Vix accidentally drifts off into sleep.
