18"Um, Rose, this is really awkward..." Alice called from behind me as we walked back to the inn. I turned around to face her and smiled "There is no problem, Alice. No one is going to hurt you, so stop being so fearful." I continued walking as she huffed and walked faster to my side
"Thats not the reason I was talking about."
"Then what was it?" I inquired as we passed the innkeeper, me smiling brightly as Alice gave a small wave
"We, well mostly you, were being stared at as we were walking here" I shrugged my shoulders as we entered our room "Thats nothing to be confused about..." she looked at me coolly and held her hand up to her head "Why arent you the least bit ashamed to be wearing women's clothes while outside? Or is this some strange hobby of yours, Sun Knight?" I shot her a look as she smilled innocently "No, of course not. Its just that its only to be expected." she looked amused before saying calmly "Then why?" I dont think I should tell her... then again, like me she has a great amount of patience when it comes to annoying me to near death about things
"Sometimes the former Sun Knight would dress this Sun as a woman to help deal with some minor difficulties that have to do with the children of the God Of Light. This Sun wore those clothes, though this Sun feels bad for being so rude as to were the clothing made for the God of Light's female children, He had given this Sun a ray of his forgiving nature and allowed Sun to continue with his work and protect his children"
Alice strared at me quietly as she tried to process my words, I found this amusing since she was already starting to have tears in her eyes, most likely due to headache and quickly said "I dont understand one bit of what you're saying! Please just speak normally!" I laughed softly to myelf and then smirked
"Simply put; I was sometimes forced into women's clothes because there were a few problems that required me to dress as the opposite sex. The former Sun Knight, my Teacher, was very... unrelliable when it came down to it and since I'd rather deal with a minor one then a headache-inducing one... Lets just say that I was extremely lucky no one found out it was me" she looked confused then nodded, the tears in her eyes disappearing
Its rather disturbing though that the former Earth knight actually made me a test subject for that bastard's training, lucky I was smart enough to wear a wig that time... Gross! Nearly gagging, I then walked over to grab a letter from the desk of our room, had I still been male, Alice would have surely made me rent another room and further diminish the money I have for retirement, but since I was a girl now, I guess she didnt really care
"We leave this town tommorow. There's another town near here, that's where we will meet up with your sister and her companions." Alice nodded and stretched her arms "So... Did anyone actually flirt with you while you were dressed up as a girl?" I blanched visibly and she beamed widely "So, who was it?" I am taking that secret to my grave! There is no way in hell am I telling you that! I may have been flirted with many times when that happened but just that one... I groaned, that was extremely embarrasing
"Come on! If you do, I'll play the role as the 'rescued' princess very well! I'll even throw in a good word with mother if you tell me!" she squealed and grabbed my arm Who knew Princess Alice was so strong... I shook my head "That is a secret. Tempting offer though" she smirked and I suddenly felt that maybe telling her wouldnt be such a bad idea
"Uh... Princess Alice... Is something wrong?"
"Well... I dont see a reason to keep your secret" I coughed violently as she smiled evilly
"Well... Um.. you see... there is a reason I can't tell you" I trailed, remembering what happened and my face quickly going red, all the more she smiled as I backed away from her "Who was it?" I shook my head and she stopped coming near me "Well, if I tell you, You have to swear that you would never tell anyone who it was. Understood?" she nodded happily and I swore that she was more happy then Pink was when she gets her sweets from Ice!
"Well, its a long story actually..."
Cliff hanger! Yup. Have fun guessing who flirted with Sun when he was a girl in his training days! Here's a hint; surprisingly enough, it wasnt Earth! Have fun guessing!
