1. Chapter 1 (1/2)

a/n

i haven't written a magic roundabout fic in a very, very long while and looking at magic roundabout fan art on da gave me ideas and i'm recording the movie on my tivo but i love zebedee and zeebad along with sam in it as spindasg here knows but it's a story i'm writing for zebedee and zeebad and it's gonna have slash in it as i like those two as a pairing and in my head, i have a feeling that zebedee thinks that zeebad isn't a monster like everybody thinks he is but somebody hurting, alone.

plus i have another feeling that zebedee is the same but hides it because he has the others of the village but listening to paramore made me think of this too.

i hope people like.

zebedee sighed as he lay in his bed in his home in the skies as he heard rain falling on the village below and knew that somebody was sad but he was thinking about the day when he had been fighting zeebad on that cliff and sighed as that memory always haunted him but he felt an ache inside his heart but he sighed hearing his name knowing somebody needed him but hoped none of his friends were in danger as he vanished.

he appeared beside the roundabout and found sam standing there with worry etched on his face as he wondered what was wrong but he sensed it was to do with a certain ice blue skinned magical springer who was locked up in there.

"he's been quiet in there and it's odd.

i have a feeling he's miserable." sam told him.

zebedee nodded in agreement as he knew it had been nice that his nemesis had been very quiet and trying not to escape from the roundabout, it was very odd but he understood as he entered the prison by using his magic to enter the roundabout's core.

he hoped zeebad was okay...

in the core of the roundabout where his prison was, zeebad was lying on a block of ice which he considered his bed but his dark ringed eyes wouldn't close in sleep because something was bothering him, a feeling in him that wouldn't go away which was the feeling of loneliness and yearning but he didn't care as he got up and bounced over to the mirror where his reflection was facing him.

it was his only companion since everybody else was afraid of him and thought he was a monster but that word hurt him and made him want to cry as tears welled up in his dark ringed eyes but was unaware somebody was watching him as he felt bad as zebedee dared to approach him but for once was stunned.

normally the icy blue skinned magical springer would blast him when he came here but today was different.

it was... like zeebad had given up on himself.

(zebedee's p.o.v)

this is very strange yet frightening to see him like this because in all the eons of protecting the village, he's never been like this and seeking revenge but this time he seems almost... remorseful, sad and lonely.

maybe he wants something the diamonds cannot give him.

friendship and to feel loved.

it is what everybody desires but he feels alone.
