As My Heart Dies-Chp13

[evening came n soon everyone made their way to the palace, guests at one end of the palace n suitors at the main entrance]

Sylvia: Do you even think they'll allow us in?

Wander: I dunno, we could always try, since there r guests going in [has his optimistic mood on] :)

Sylvia: I suppose.

Wander: [drags Sylvia to join the guest line]

Sylvia: ^^;;

Usher: [taking names as the guests entered, until it was Wander n Sylvia's turn]

Wander: [says his name]

Sylvia: (also says her name) :^)

Usher: [chk his list] Hmm, sorry, there's no Wander n Sylvia in the list

Sylvia: :D Welp, sorry to be a bother. Let's go.

Wander: [grabbed her dress] Uh-uh. We came all the way here. I'm sure there's something we can do? [tries to sneak a few bills to him]

Usher: R u trying to bribe me, sir? :^)

Sylvia: ^^;; Wander...

Wander: Not reli, just something to show appreciation for ur hard work :D

Usher: Pls leave or I will hv to call security -_-

Sylvia: Sorry, sir, he just wants to see some friend of his in there, Hater, and...

Usher: Uh-huh, n I'm best friends with the King of Planet Pixela |-( Run along now

Wander: But--

??: It's OK, Brew, they're with me

Sylvia: ? (looks to see who it is)

[a female Skeletor in blue dress with silver sequins showed up]

Usher: :O Lady Loathe! I'm sorry, I didn't see u there

Loathe: It's OK, just making the rounds [looks at the duo] Ur Wander n Sylvia? I've heard so much abt u from my brother Hater :)

Sylvia: And you must be his sister?

Loathe: Yup, the name's Loathe, eldest of the Skeletor royal family [shakes hands with them]

Wander: Oh my grob, I nvr knew Hatey has siblings, let alone an actual royalty. I always thought he gave that Lord title to himself, being a Conqueror n all

Loathe: U... Call him "Hatey"? [blinked in surprise]

Sylvia: It's his weird nickname for him.

Loathe: (giggle) I see. Well come with me, let's go inside. Enjoy the festivities

Sylvia: :^) (follows Wander and Loathe)

(meanwhile)

Hater: (tugged at his tie)

Grimm: [peeks in] Bro, u done? Dad was worried abt u

Hater: Yeah, I'm coming.

Grimm: [sighed] Uuuggghhh~~ Why do I hv to do the suitors' ceremony? Makes me wish u weren't sick so tht u can take my plc instead -_-''

Hater: :| Hey I didn't know I was gonna get sick, okay?

Grimm: I knw, I knw, I'm not blaming u... Well, maybe a little bit, bt evn if its just a royal custom, its just lame. It's basically doing arranged marriage, not marrying ppl out of love [pouted]

Hater: Well, me and Loathe are gonna help with picking out someone you might possibly like.

Grimm: Oh grob, u guys r gonna matchmake me? (worry)

Hater: Relax, we're not gonna pick anyone if they don't catch your interest. :)

Grimm: Oh tht's comforting |-( [said it in slight sarcasm, then giggled] (giggle)

Hater: (chuckle)

Grimm: This ceremonial suit is so gaudy. Can't believe Dad wore this for his suitors' ceremony XP

Hater: :) Heh, yeah. C'mon, wanna get going?

Grimm: Yeah, let's get this over with =_=

Hater: (follows him outside)
