Chapter 5: Alm and Celica, A Day at a Tavern


(in Alm's POV)

Jesse invited the army to his island for a few days. Well we didn't know that we would be spending time at a pub for the first day. Everyone except Lukas, Kliff, Celica, Clair, and I were drunk within the first hour. Saber was walking to a piano and then was laughing.

"Hehe! I love you guys! We should sing!" Saber cried happily as he sipped more alcohol.

I didn't know how this was going to go. I sat with Celica and Lukas as Kliff ignored a crying Tobin and a laughing Gray. Clair was slowly backing away from Gray a bit, but she never left his side.

"Good idea! Sing!" Gray cried happily as he raised his drink.

Boey comforting a crying Mae and nodded his head. I think they had a little too much alcohol.

"Yeah! We'll help you!" Boey added with a silly smile.

Saber sat on the piano stool. To our amazement, Saber could actually play the piano! Lukas then leaned into my ear.

"I am a bit worried about this" Lukas said uneased.

"Same here. Here, go get Clive and Mathilda" I whispered to him.

He nodded and left the tavern. However, Celica was happy to see this! I don't think she knows what goes in a bar. She clapped her hands when Saber began to play the piano. Saber than began to sing a song.

I'm malicious, mean and scary

My sneer could curdle dairy

And violence-wise, my hands are not the cleanest

But despite my evil look

And my temper, and my sword!

Saber was smiling and Celica got up from her chair and stood by Saber happily. I walked over to her and then I was soon pinned to the wall! I looked up and saw an arrow! I then saw Tobin in his drunken state with his bow and arrows.

"Shudup Alm! Let the man finish his stupid song!" Tobin cried annoyed.

I just let myself hang there and let Saber sing.

I've always yearned to be a concert pianist

Can'tcha see me on the stage performin' Mozart?

Tickling the ivories 'til they gleam?

Yep, I'd rather be called deadly

For my killer show-tune medley

Thank you!

'Cause way down deep inside

I've got a dream

Saber began to dance around the room with Celica. I was a bit jealous but I didn't say anything. I looked at Boey, Tobin, and Gray and they began to sing along with Saber! Their heads began to bounce to the rhythm of the song Saber was playing.

He's got a dream!

He's got a dream!

Celica was sitting on the piano bench while Saber continued to play the piano.

See, I ain't as cruel and vicious as I seem!

Though I do like breaking femurs

You can count me with the dreamers

Like everybody else

I've got a dream!

Celica began to sing along with Saber, Gray, and Tobin while I just watched. I was kind of smiling at my friends for having a good time, but I was also worried about the amount of alcohol they had.

(Lukas' POV)

"This way!" I urged Clive and Mathilda as we ran to the tavern.

"Lukas it can't be that bad!" Mathilda reassured me.

I shook my head and kept running. Mathilda sighed.

"Don't worry. It'll be fine. It can't be as bad as when Python got Forsyth drunk" Clive reassured us.

I stopped in my tracks when I heard singing. Clive and Mathilda looked at the tavern amazed and then they looked at me. We then walked to a window.

(Back to Alm's POV)

Tobin drank from his mug and wobbled out of his chair. He then walks to Saber and Celica and placed his hand on the piano.

I've got scars and lumps and bruises

Plus something here that oozes

And let's not even mention my complexion

But despite my extra toes

And my goiter, and my nose

I really want to make a love connection

Can't you see me with a special little lady

Rowin' in a rowboat down the stream?

Though I'm one disgusting blighter

I'm a lover, not a fighter

'Cause way down deep inside

I've got a dream

I've got a dream!

Tobin shot a few arrows around and I pulled up a pot and blocked any incoming arrows while Boey and Mae decided to join in on the singing. Clair was hiding behind the bar and Kliff was sitting a chair, watching everything. Tobin then raised his bow with a happy silly smile on his face.

And I know one day romance will reign supreme!

Though my face leaves people screaming

There's a child behind it, dreaming

Like everybody else

I've got a dream

Tobin then hands Clair a flower. She smiles and then walks away slowly. I couldn't help but laugh a bit Gray raised his sword in a foolish manner and swung it around! Clair ducked while Kliff was laughing and joined in on the singing. This was surprising to me. Kliff didn't like to sing as much.

Tobin would like to quit and be a florist

Boey does interior design

Mae is into mime

Clair's cupcakes are sublime

Celica knits

Gray sews

Saber does little puppet shows

And Faye collects ceramic unicorns!

Tobin was playing with flowers, Boey was trying to make the tavern look nice a bit, Mae tried to act like a mime, and Saber was rolling with laughter. Clair was smiling with pride when Kliff mentioned her cupcakes and Celica was pleased that Kliff remembered her kitting skills. Gray was throwing swords at Kliff for mentioning his sewing skills, but Kliff dodged all of Gray's swords with ease. Then Saber, Boey, Mae, Tobin, and Gray looked at me.

"What about you, Alm? Don't you have a dream?" Tobin asked weakly as he looked at me.

"Uh I do, but I don't sing" I said with a nervous chuckle.

Gray and Saber pointed their swords at me while Celica helped me down by pulling the arrow off of the wood. I fell on my butt and then looked up at my friends. I sighed at sat up as Saber strung some notes on the piano. I then danced around with my drunk friends, except Kliff, Clair, and Celica. They weren't drunk.

I have dreams, like you, no, really!

Just much less touchy-feely

They mainly happen somewhere

Warm and sunny

On a castle that I own

Tanned and rested and happy

Surrounded by many happy faces!

Tobin, Kliff, and Gray hugged me tightly and I glanced at Celica who was laughing a bit. I smiled at her while she stood on top of a table. She cleared her voice and Saber played the piano. She sang so beautifully while the rest of us sang as her chorus.

I've got a dream!

(us) She's got a dream!

I've got a dream!

(us) She's got a dream!

I just want to see the happiness of others!

(us) Yeah!

And with every passing hour. I'm so glad I left the shrine!

Like all of you here, I've got a dream!

WE'VE GOT A DREAM!

"What in Mila's name is going on?!" Clive shouted over us.

It was at that moment, Clive, Mathilda, and Lukas entered the bar. Clive was furious while Mathilda tried to calm Clive down. Lukas just sighed. Celica was still smiling and Kliff and I glanced at each other nervously. We were both hoping Lukas could help us. Clair rushed up to her brother and hugged him.

"I cannot tell you how disgusted I am with Alm and his friends! They got drunk!" Clair exclaimed horrified.

Kliff and I were sweating a bit. Lukas stepped forward and looked at Boey, who was now on the floor crying.

"Alm, Kliff, were you drunk?" Clive asked seriously.

"No sir!" we replied quickly.

"And neither was Celica" I added.

Celica walked over to us with a happy smile. She was then confused as to why Clive was furious. Mathilda decided to take Celica out of the bar while Clair stomped over to Gray.

"Hey, Clair! How goes it?" Gray asked with a wobbled towards Clair.

Clair took in a breath and then smacked Gray across the face! Gray stumbled back and then hit his head on the tables. Gray fainted and then Clair grab Gray's leg and pulled him out of the bar. Lukas helped Boey and Mae out of the bar. Kliff quickly grab Saber and Tobin and left me to deal with Clive.

"Tell me what happened" Clive ordered as he crossed his arms.

I sighed as I explained everything. Late that night, I was sitting on the balcony while Gray, Tobin, Boey, and Mae were recovering from their hang over. I really didn't like it when Clive yelled. It did scare me. I heard the doors open behind me, but I didn't turn to see who it was.

"Alm? Are you ok?" Celica asked me as she knelt besides me.

"I am. Are you?" I asked her as I gave her a small smile.

"I'm so sorry" she replied as she hugged me.

"Celica, what's wrong?" I asked her as I hugged her back.

"I didn't know they were drunk. I'm so sorry I got you in trouble" Celica apologized.

"Hey, it's ok. It's not the first nor the last time I've been in trouble. I'm glad you at least had fun" I replied to her with a smile.

"Thank you, Alm" Celica replied as she gave me a kiss on the cheek.

I blushed a bit and held her close for the rest of night. However, our friends were having their worst hang over yet.
