[soon after lunch, the candidates were all lined up in the throne room]
Wander: [stood nxt to Terrance, holding his hand in encouragement]
Terrance: (slightly squeezed back)
Hater: (stood next to Loathe)
Drizelda: [steals a smug look at Wander n Terrance, muttering] Well, look who's shameless enough to still stay in the running?
[The other candidates quietly snickered] (giggle)
Terrance: :( (held his middle)
Wander: [squeezed Terrance's hand reassuringly, whispered] It's OK, just ignore them
Terrance: (whispers) I know...
Grimm: [shows up, hushing the crowd as he made his way to the throne]
Loathe: [whispered to Grimm] U ready for this?
Grimm: [nodded solemnly]
Hater: (watches to see what happens)
Grimm: [faces the candidates] Welcome bk to the elimination process. Today, I will make another elimination decision. Bt this time, the name I called will the name tht will stay
Terrance: :O
Wander: :| (thinks: Huh?)
Hater: (thinks; wait, what's he doing...?)
Grimm: [takes a deep breath, a short pause later, then turns to Terrance] Prince Terrance from Planet Lizardran n Sir Wander the Adventurer. U two r chosen to stay. The rest of u are eliminated
[All the candidates gasped] :O
Terrance: :O!
Hater: :O whoa.
Loathe: [whispered] Shh, just watch
Wander: Wait, wat? Me?
Drizelda: This is absurd!! How can u choose that... That whore n that furry hussy over us!! Tht furball is not even royalty!!
Ruby: [a woman with red skin] Yeah! U can't hv two brides! It's unheard of!
Grimm: Terrance will be my bride n Wander will be my concubine n Terrance's man-in-waiting. I hv made my choice. Pls, both of u, come up to me
Terrance: :) (came towards Grimm)
Wander: [came up too, a little confused as to wat happened, bt just played along]
Drizelda: I will not hv this!! [pins Terrance by the tail with her high-heeled foot] I will NOT allow u to be with Lord Grimm. I hv worked too hard to be in here n I will NOT be defeated by a dirty pregnant man-whore!! (angry)
Terrance: Ahh! >_<
Hater: :O ... (angry) (launches at Drizelda pulling her off Terrance)
Drizelda: [lost her balance n fell bkwards, landing on her ass] Ouch! Ugh! How dare u! I'm a princess! HOW DARE U!!
Grimm: [looks ovr her in distaste] I'm sorry, Drizelda. Tho u may hv tried to warn me frm making a bad mistake, sabotaging ur fellow competitors in such a fashion is not cool. Ur supposed to engage in healthy competition, not stabbing other ppl in the bk n digging up dirt on them tht r none of ur business to begin with. Ur no different than Morello. I shudder to think tht if I were to marry u, wat else will u do to gain power? Frame my brother? Humiliate my sister? Murder me in my sleep?
Drizelda: [stands up abruptly] Don't be naïve! This is the real world! This is how royalty gets ard! N if u hv any sense at all, u should reli reconsider ur choices of eliminating us instead of those two lowlifes! Tht lizard man-whore freak's baby is not evn YOURS!!
Hater: (gets in her face) And he's supposed to give a shit about that, because...?? (lights up his hand with green electricity)
Drizelda: [shoved Hater off, making him land on his ass, then her peacock feathers flared up in anger] Bcoz it's NOT HIS!! NOT HIS CHILD!! THAT IS NOT RIGHT!! THAT IS NOT HOW ROYALTY WORKS ARD HERE!! IT'S WRONG!!!
Grimm: [stomps towards her n gets in her face this time] It may wrong coming frm watevr sick planet u come frm, bt this is MY planet, MY home, MY rules! U think I don't knw abt u? U think I didn't do background chks on u as well aftr tht stunt u pulled last night? I was ur last resort. YOU failed evry suitors' ceremony frm other planets, no, other GALAXIES, bcoz of ur attitude. NO ONE wanted to marry u then, NO ONE would EVER marry u now. I chose Terrance n Wander, n tht is FINAL. Let me remind u again: MY home, MY ceremony, MY rules! U GOT THAT?!
Terrance: :O
Drizelda: [glared at Grimm] If u heard abt me, then u should knw wat I did to those guys n their pitiful planets aftr they rejected me (evil)
Hater: :| Bitch just don't give up, does she...?
Grimm: [stared at her for a while, then bk away a bit] U do wat u hv to do. Like I said, I've made my final decision. U can either leave peacefully or I'm sending the guards ovr
Drizelda: [unfurled her peacock feathers as she dusted herself] Fine. U haven't seen the last of me. This. Means. War. [shouted out in the throne room] I, Drizelda Firestone, frm the Planet Aviary, declare WAR on Planet Skeletor! Brace urselves, enjoy this moment, for it may be ur last [spun round n left the room along with the other candidates]
Loathe: Yeah, watevr, bitch. Bring it on, or take a hike! [comes to Terrance to chk his tail] R u OK, honey?
Terrance: (rubbing his tail) Yeah... I think so... :(
Hater: (slowly got to his feet)
Wander: [rushes to Hater to help him up] U OK there, Hatey?
Grimm: [helped him up as well] Yeah, u OK, bro?
Hater: She's...pretty strong, but...it'll pass. >_o
Loathe: Wat does she mean by wat she did to those who rejected her?
Grimm: Just as she did just now: She declared war on them, n decimated the royals n their planets
Terrance: (worry)
Hater: Well, that's just great...(flushed a little with Wander still holding his arm)
Loathe: Don't worry, we've got the armada to fight here, right?
Grimm: Yeah, we do. Just hope it'll be enough. Bt I can't worry abt tht. I need to deal with Terry's parents n fiances first
Wander: (giggle)
Grimm: :| Wat?
Wander: U just called him 'Terry'
Terrance: :$ You know... Just Terry will do.
Grimm: O///O Oh, um... Yeah, if ur OK with it :$
Wander: I'm not RELI gonna be ur concubine, am I? :^)
Grimm: Nah, I just chose u so tht Terry wouldn't be singled out (giggle) U can go bk to my bro now (smirk) [grinned deviously at Wander still holding Hater's arm n still oblivious abt it]
Hater: >_>;; Um, Wander...you can let go now.
Wander: [finally noticed his hand] Oh! Oh, sorry [lets go, then turns to Terrance] U won! Alright, Terry, u finally won! :D
Terry: :)
Loathe: I'm getting a brother in law n soon-to-be niece or nephew! Ooh, I'm so excited~ :D [held Terrance's hands as she bounced up n dwn happily]
Terry: o.o ... (giggle)
Hater: :)
Grimm: [comes to Terrance] U alright, love? Did she hurt ur tail or anything?
Terry: (shake) No, not too much. And please, :) Call me Terry.
Grimm: I knw, bt I prefer to call u 'love' frm time to time [pecked his nose n grinned]
Terry: ^///^
Wander: Hurray for the winner~! [digs ard his hat n throws confetti out of it at them] (party)
Hater: |-( You always have to do this?
Wander: Wat? Its the perfect moment to celebrate! (party)
Hater: Yeah... I suppose it is. :)
Wander: Maybe we should give them some privacy now :)
Hater: Yeah, sure. (nod)
[the duo left the throne room, prompting Loathe to get the hint n left too]
Grimm: I hope u don't think I'm getting ahead of myself for doing this :$ Choosing u, I mean
Terry: It's okay. :) I'd still like to take it slow.
Grimm: Let me at least make it official [digs into his pocket n took out a tiny box, opening it to reveal the royal heirloom ring n knelt down before Terrance] Will u, Prince Terrance of Planet Lizardran, marry me? :$
Terry: :O ... Yes... :D Yes! (glomped him)
Grimm: [chuckled] Oh, careful now, don't wanna squish our baby there [caressed Terry's middle]
Terry: Right, I know that. (giggle)
Grimm: How long does ur pregnancy last? Wen is the due date tho?
Terry: About, 4 weeks.
Grimm: Wait... That means ur abt to give birth in a mths time?
Terry: (nod)
Grimm: Bt u said ur 2 mths pregnant... Ur species pregnancy lasts for only 3 mths?
Terry: :) That's right.
Grimm: [looks at his robes] That means... Ur already showing considerably :|
Terry: ^^;; A little.
Grimm: This courting session was supposed to last 3 mths. How were u supposed to pull it off n hide this from me while I'm still courting u during the suitors' ceremony wen ur already tht far along?
Terry: My species have their ways.
Grimm: Oh? Now u got me curious (smirk) How?
Terry: Well... our pregnancy makes it appear like we're not.
Grimm: Huh? :| [was a little confused]
Terry: Don't you know some species that may not appear pregnant, they still look the same somehow?
Grimm: I guess I don't, haven't been ard the galaxy much to know abt tht ^^;; Bt like I said, ur due date in a mths time. Wat if Drizelda nvr exposed u, n u go into labour in the middle of the courting period? Tht was pretty reckless
Terry: Yeah...that would've been scary... :(
Grimm: Ur parents knew tht n yet they sent u out to suitors' ceremonies. Wat were they thinking? >:C
Terry: ;( I ...
Grimm: It's OK... It's OK... [hugged him close] Ur here n ur engaged to me now. Everything will be alright
Terry: (sniffled, hugging him close)
Grimm: [hushed him n rocked him, rubbing his bk to comfort him]
Terry: (nuzzled into his chest) ;(
Grimm: We'll wait till the baby is born, then we'll go sort things out with ur parents n ur fiances. Ur in no shape to travel right now
Terry: ... Okay...Grimmy. :)
Grimm: :) [smiled n leans in to kiss him deeply] I love u, Terry
Terry: Love you, Grimmy. (kissed him back)
