Chapter 10: Advice from the Moochik
Diamond Tiara swallowed a cookie she was eating. Then she sighed and said, “I take it your families didn’t listen to you when you tried to explain what you were doing together.”
Rep said, “Yeah. Both Families forbade us from seeing each other. That evening during sunset, I was sulking on my bed when I heard a knock on the door...”
An angry Rep was in his room pouting when someone knocked on the door. Assuming it was either his dad or one of his brothers, he angrily shouted, “Go away!”
“It’s me, Rep,” a familiar voice said, “It’s the Moochik!”
A shocked Rep quickly got up and opened the door for the Moochik.
“Come on in, Sire,” Rep bowed.
The Moochik walked in with a look of concern toward Rep and said, “I came in to check up on you. I heard your father came down hard on you.”
“Yeah,” Rep said, “He says that I’m not allowed near Katrina. She said that she would rob me blind in an instant.”
“What do you think?” the Moochik asked.
“I don’t believe that. Katrina is nice and she’s my friend. I want us to remain friends, but I can’t disobey Dad. What should I do?”
“I can’t make that decision, but if I did, I think you and Katrina should continue being friends.”
“Huh?”
“Rep, your friendship with her could provide an example for both of your clans. For too long, the two races have fought each based on mistrust and false stories. You and Katrina can bring them together. Sometimes, people can become friends even when others are against you.”
“You’re right, Lord Moochik,” Rep said, “Tonight, I am going to that magic show. I just need to make sure I have a good disguise and make sure only Katrina recognizes me.”
The Moochik gave him a flower from the maze, causing Rep to dance with glee.
“I’ll make sure your father doesn’t find out,” the Moochik assured him as he left.
What Rep didn’t know was the Moochik was really Jet in disguise. He transformed back into himself.
“See you at the show, Rep,” Jet chuckled.
