A/N: Hello everyone. Yet another story from me. I figured that you guys
would want another humorous and crazy TOF fic! Well, you've come to the
right place. This fic, if you could guess by the title, is all about Rue.
And sorry all you R+M fans, cuz that's not gonna happen. I really
disapprove of the coupling anyways. So, I'll stop jabbering, and you can
get on to reading. See ya!
Disclaimer: I don't own Rue or any of the other characters from Threads of Fate (Dewprism).
Tale of a Mysterious Boy
Chapter One: An Average Day
"Rue... Rue, wake up, dear. Rue. Come on, open your eyes. Rue..."
Something warm and soft brushed the hair away from my face.
"Rue..."
I opened my eyes. When everything came into focus, I saw Claire smiling down at me.
"Ah good, you're awake." Her eyes sparkled with a kind of excitement that was always there. "Good morning!"
I sat up and rubbed my eyes on the back of my hand, yawning widely. Claire giggled, and I smiled at her.
"Good morning, Claire-san. Is that great smell breakfast?" I asked her eagerly.
"You sound as if you were-" Claire was cut off but my stomach, which gave a loud, hungry growl. I felt my cheeks grow warm and I smiled sheepishly. Claire stood (she'd been sitting on my bed next to me) and gave me a warm smile. Seeing her smile like that, with that little strip of hair that fell onto the right side of her face, made me feel strong, like I could do anything, just to see that smile. Yet, somehow, this feeling wasn't fully fulfilling... like there had to be someone out there whose smile I would literally die for... but...
"Rue, did you hear me?" Clair asked, her voice pulling me out of my thoughts. I blinked and looked at her.
"Sorry, I was just... thinking..." I told her, still lost.
"Please cheer up." Claire walked up to me and patted me on the head, as if I were a pollywog. "I do not like to see you frown." When I looked up at her, a type of half-smile lit my face. "Good boy!" she said, then patted me on the head again and left my room. I sighed, but then my stomach growled again and I hopped up and followed Claire.
The table was set when I entered the dining room. Claire really went all out this time. There were all breakfast dishes imaginable! Pancakes, scrambled eggs-you name it, it was there. I didn't realize that I had been gaping at the table, still standing in the doorway. Claire laughed.
"Go ahead, sit down, eat. Your stomach told me that you were hungry!"
"I am hungry, but Claire!" I walked up to the table and sat down across from her. "Look at all of this! Do you really think-" I stopped when I caught Claire's expression. She was still smiling, but there was a look in her eye, a sort of spark that said, "You know you could eat all of that. You know you could." I sighed and smiled a defeated smile. "You win. Let's eat."
So we ate. Claire not as much of me, as usual. The food was delicious.
"Rue?" Claire asked me between bites of the omelet she'd made for herself.
"Hmm?" I look up, speaking with my mouth half full.
"I have a question."
"What is it?" I put down my fork and hurried to wipe my mouth on my napkin.
"Didn't you make plans with Klaus today?"
I blinked, then smacked the side of my head lightly. "Oh, that's right! I completely forgot!" Claire laughed softly, and my hand flew behind my head in embarrassment.
"I figured as much," she said, smiling. "You should hurry then; you don't want to be late, do you?" I finished up my toast and hopped up, wiping my mouth in the process. Then I stopped, having had an idea cross my mind.
"Claire-you could come too! What else could you do around here by yourself? You know Mira too, don't you?"
"... You want to bring me?"
"Of course!"
"Well then, all right."
So, then, I helped Claire clean up from breakfast and soon we were both ready to go.
"We have to hurry or we'll miss the ship!" I said as I slung my trusty Arc Edge over my shoulder and secured my hat on my head. Claire slid on her traveling cloak over her purple dress.
"Well, let's go!"
"We won't make it... unless..." I looked over at Claire. "You want to ride a saber-wolf?"
Claire sweat-dropped. "As long as you're the wolf."
I nodded, focused my mind, and after a flash of pink light (why pink?) I was looking out of the eyes of a saber-wolf. I looked over at Claire, and she timidly hopped onto my back. She weighed nothing at all. I felt her clutch my fur, and I started off. I was amazed still at the speed I could run! It was a matter of five to ten minutes before we got there, as opposed to a normally half-hour long trek. Claire hopped off of me in the woods so that I could shape-shift back into my human form without anyone seeing. We liked to avoid interviews if possible. We walked together out to the dock, and with the small amount of g that I had I bought tickets for us. I walked back and handed a ticket to Claire, and she smiled.
"You still amaze me, Rue."
"?" I cocked my head. "What do you mean?" Claire smiled at me, but said nothing, which only confused me further. Then the boat blew the whistle. "C'mon, we're gonna miss the boat!"
"Again," Claire added with a giggle.
Together we boarded, and I plopped into a sitting position on the deck, panting. After shape-shifting and now sprinting onto the deck, I was tired! Claire still had a smile on her face.
"We made it!" She seemed really excited about the whole thing. I just panted a "yeah" in response. The boat started up, which made the deck vibrate. An automatic hand flew up to keep my hat from falling off of my head. And so, we were off, heading for Corona.

A/N: I hope you liked it so far!! And don't worry, it'll get funnier. Wait for chapter three to come rolling around!! Anyways, tell me what you think!
Next:
"Why Rue, it's good to see you again, my boy!" Klaus exclaimed, getting up to greet me.
"It's great to see you too, Doctor," I replied, shaking his hand. I could hear Mint mocking me in a nasal tone behind me, but I didn't react.
