As My Heart Dies-Chp14

[the palace was soon crowded with guests n suitors mingling abt, tho mostly the guests stay on one half of the area n suitors on the other half so tht there wouldn't be any confusion as to which r the guests n which r the suitors]

Grimm: Wow, that's a buttload of ppl :|

Hater: News spread fast. :|

Grimm: Ugh, it's like the whole 9 galaxies were waiting for me to get hitched with them

Hater: ^^;; Yeah...

Fury: [shows up] Hey, son. U ready to meet ur suitors?

Grimm: Ready as I'll ever be =_=

Fury: Great, let's head to the throne room [leads Grimm away]

Hater: :) (glances to see Loathe with... ) :| Oh no...

Loathe: [was ushering Wander n Sylvia to join the guest group, then sees Hater n waved at him, excusing herself from them before weaving her way thru the crowd to him] Oh, Hatey~ U nvr guess who showed up just now ^w^

Hater: Why are they here??

Loathe: Ooh, so u did see them. Well u know wat they say abt speaking of the devil (giggle) Don't ask me, ask them. I found them trying to bribe Brew wen I was doing my rounds

Hater: :^) Well that's just great.

Loathe: [looked abt] Where's Grimm?

Hater: Dad took him to check out the suitors.

[just as he said it, another usher showed up to make the announcement]

Usher: Hear ye, hear ye, all potential suitors pls follow the ushers n make their way to the throne room. The rest of the guests, feel free to enjoy ur evening with the festivities provided. Thank u

Loathe: Oh, tht's our cue, Hatey. We better go to the throne room as well to survey the suitors n see which is the best for Grimmy

Hater: (glances to Wander and Sylvia)... Okay. (follows Loathe)

Wander: [was munching on some cupcakes wen he sees the suitors make their way to the throne room] Psst! Syl! Let's go peek at how they do the ceremony

Sylvia: :| I'd rather not.

Wander: Meh, ur no fun. U go ahead n stuff urself with those finger sandwiches. I'm heading off to get a peek [finished the last of his drink before joining the suitors crowd, blending in bcoz of his tiny size]

Hater: (joined on stage with Loathe)
