[the nxt morning, the royal Skeletor family gathered in their private lounge to hv a meeting abt wat happened at dinner last night]
Fury: So it's true? The Lizardran is pregnant?
Grimm: Yes, Dad, n I don't know how Drizelda manages to find out abt this before I did
Hater: (muttered) Just get her kicked out then...
Fury: U know tht is grounds for elimination for that young Lizardran, right?
Grimm: I know, bt I don't plan to eliminate him. I plan to choose him n eliminate everyone else
Loathe: Woah :O U serious? Ur willing to be the baby daddy of his child tht doesn't even belong to u?
Hater: You really love, don't you bro? :)
Grimm: Yes. At first sight in fact. N if it's any consolation, Dad, he's intersex, so u don't hv to worry abt him giving me heirs
Fury: I'm not too concerned abt heirs. I know I said u love who u love n I will not judge who u choose, bt r u sure he is the one? The one u wanna spend the rest of ur life with?
Hater: I think he's pretty serious dad.
Grimm: Yes, I'm very sure, Dad. In fact, I plan to call for an elimination process ASAP to announce my decision, n then I want to go deal with Terrance's parents n his fiances
Fury: (think) [considered it long n hard, a tense silence ensued]
Hater: (bit his lip)
Loathe: [keeping fingers crossed]
Grimm: [waited nervously]
Fury: [after a long silence later] ....very well. Ur the new Lord of Planet Skeletor now. U call the shots. Bt don't come crying to me if the both of us don't work out (smirk)
Hater: (phew)
Loathe: Yayy! I got me a brother in law~ :D
Grimm: Thank u, Dad. I'll announce the elimination process after lunch
Hater: :)
[meanwhile Wander was already starting to pack his things with Sylvia]
Sylvia: You okay with this?
Wander: Yeah, I'm good. Ur right, I should've left them be. I hv a feeling things r gonna sort out itself. I'll eliminate myself as promised n we can go on our adventures again
Sylvia: :( But you're not the type to give up so easily...
Wander: I'm not giving up, I'm just stepping aside n let the thing run its course. I don't want to cause anymore trouble btwn Terry n tht peacock lady. She's super mean, n I don't want Terry to get hurt bcoz of me
Sylvia: (patted his back) You tried at least.
Wander: Yup, I tried [hears a knock on the door] Huh? U mind getting tht, Syl?
Sylvia: (nod) Sure, buddy. (answers it)
Loathe: [was at the door, looking at them perkily] Hiya, Sylvia. Hey, Wander. :D
Wander: Hey, Loathie :)
Sylvia: Oh, hey. What's going on?
Loathe: Oh, just here to see how ur holding up... Wait, r u packing up?
Sylvia: Wander's concerned things with your borther and that lizard didn't work out, so...
Loathe: Aww... Don't feel bad. It's not ur fault. U were just trying to help, nothing wrong with tht. Oh, which brings me to my main goal
Wander: Main goal?
Loathe: I'm supposed to come n tell u tht next elimination process is on, right after lunch [was suspiciously chipper abt it]
Sylvia: :^) And...?
Loathe: N that's it. Just to give u heads-up so u'll be ready. Don't wanna spoil the surprise now, do we? :D
Wander: Umm, okay... If u say so :|
Sylvia: Okay then, thanks, I guess.
Loathe: Good luck, Wander ;) [left the room]
Sylvia: ...What do you think that was about? :^)
Wander: [shrugged curiously] That was weird, bt we'll see wat happens later
Sylvia: Mhm.

As My Heart Dies-Chp23
[meawhile...]
Grimm: [ran ard the palace trying to find Terrance]
???: ;( (sobbing)
Grimm: [hears the sobbing n followed the sounds] ...Terrance?
Terrance: (looked up) :O Gr-Grimm...? (shrank back, clutching a bag of chocolate pretzels)
Grimm: [came close to him] R u...eating pretzels?
Terrance: Yeah, I eat when I get upset. ^^;; ... :( Why are you here?
Grimm: I... I was looking for u, actually. U were upset by wat Drizelda said n u just ran off. I couldn't just let u leave like tht [sat nxt to him] ...Can I hv one?
Terrance:...(passes him the bag)
Grimm: [takes one frm the bag n nibbled at it, a short pause later] ....So... is wat Drizelda said true?
Terrance: :( ... (nods sadly)
Grimm: So ur actually pregnant? How far along r u now?
Terrance:...2 months... ;(
Grimm: Wen r u due? I mean u should've known tht by the end of this ceremony, u would already be showing n u can't fool me, much less ur other fiances :(
Terrance: ... ;( I understand you don't want me anymore...
Grimm: How did this happen?
Terrance: It... It's difficult for me to explain... I just thought he really loved me, but...
Grimm: Lemme guess, he dumped u wen he found out ur pregnant n ran off with that other man she mentioned
Terrance: :( Mhm.
Grimm: N ur parents thought it would be a great idea to send u off to a bunch of suitors ceremony to shortlist a potential royal husband for u, in ur condition no less? Wat were they thinking?
Terrance: :( I don't know...
Grimm: Bt if ur pregnant... Does tht mean ur intersex?
Terrance: Yes... I am... I must be a freak to you now, aren't I...?
Grimm: No, no, on the contrary, ur special to me. I mean, the upside is tht u can give me heirs, bt that's not important. I don't care wat u r on the outside, I fell in love with u regardless of how u look, n tht hasn't changed [blinked as he realized he just confessed his love, bt he doesn't try to deny it as he blushed] :$
Terrance: (flushes also)...love me...? Love, love me?
Grimm: Yeah... I confess, I fell in love at first sight with u, bt I didn't want to dishonour the ceremony ritual. The moment I saw u, my heart knew wat it wants, n I knew tht u were my soulmate. I don't want the other candidates [takes his hands n held it to his own chest] I want u
Terrance:... (wiped happy tears) :)
Grimm: [takes a deep breath] I've made my decision, bt I want to run it with my Dad. Hopefully we see eye to eye on this, bt at the end of this, u will be mine. U and ur baby
Terrance: (hugged him) (kiss)
Grimm: [was surprised by the kiss, bt kissed him bk deeply]
Terrance: mmm~ (curled his tail around Grimm's waist)
Grimm: [pulls bk a bit] R u sure u want me tho...? I mean... Do u feel the same way I do for u...?
Terrance: I'm...pretty sure I do... :$
Grimm: Good :) Coz I'm not letting u go tht easy [kissed him again]
Terrance: (kissed him back)
Grimm: [ran ard the palace trying to find Terrance]
???: ;( (sobbing)
Grimm: [hears the sobbing n followed the sounds] ...Terrance?

Terrance: (kissed him back)
As My Heart Dies-Chp22
[later tht night, the candidates sat together with Grimm as usual for dinner]
Wander: [sat near Terrance, making small talk with him, n encouraging him to chat with Grimm]
Hater: (sat across from them, glacning at Wander)
Loathe: [noticed n nudged his foot with her own] Someone's been eyeballing a certain furball~
Hater: <_< What's your point?
Loathe: My point is u don't seem to hate tht furball anymore than u say u do (smirk)
Hater: |-( Whatever.
Drizelda: [a few moments, stood up n clinked the glass with her spoon] Everyone, attention, everyone
Grimm: Drizelda?
Drizelda: Sorry, milord, bt there is something I must address to u, it's regarding ur favourite candidate over there (smirk) [smirked cruelly at Terrance]
Terrance: ?
Hater: (thinks; oh no...)
Grimm: Wat about Terrance?
Drizelda: It's regards to his intentions to win this competition. I heard from reliable sources tht this is not the first suitors' ceremony he joined. In fact this is his fifth ceremony he is trying to win. He already won the last 4 n her 4 fiances r waiting for him on his home planet (smirk)
Hater: :| ... (stands up) Hey, lady!
Drizelda: Pls, I'm doing this for the sake of milord. We don't want to let a serial lover get away with this, do we?
Loathe: Do u hv any proof of this?
Drizelda: [gestured her lady-in-waiting to collect the evidence]
Terrance: (worry) But I...
Drizelda: [got the evidence from her lady-in-waiting a few mins later n produces 4 pictures of 4 different men/aliens, with Terrance posing next to them in all of it] Here we go, ur evidence. Her parents made him go look for 5 potential candidates in which they will then filter n decide which of the 5 men is worthy to be his husband
Wander: Now u listen here--
Drizelda: [ignores Wander] N the kicker is they need to do this quickly before dear ol' lizard boy starts showing [turns to Terrance] U know wat I mean, don't u, lizard boy? The REAL reason why ur always wearing tht robes n covering urself up so tightly? (evil)
Terrance: ... ;(
Hater: ...Yeah, my brother's not interested to be in a relationship with a bitch such as you, lady.
Drizelda: It's not ur call, unfortunately, milord :^) N I had good intel tht the baby daddy is not evn one of the 4 fiances. He had a secret fling with the palace footman n got knocked up, n the footman ran off with another man, leaving poor ol' lizard boy alone. His culture doesn't condone abortion, so they want him to marry quickly to a proper royal so tht they can get it on n pretend to be knocked up by one of them n, oh, I dunno, pass it off as their species being quick to breed or something
Grimm: Terrance... Is... Is tht true...?
Terrance: I... ;( (got up and hurried out of there)
Grimm: T-Terrance! :O [leaves a dirty look at Drizelda n chased aftr him]
Wander: Ur not a vry nice lady, Ms Peacock!
Drizelda: Hmph! Says the midget who is not evn royalty. I bet ur just here so tht u can marry him for his riches while u hv ur secret affair with his brother. Don't think I don't see u skulking abt meeting up with Lord Hater, n then stringing Lord Grimm along. Shameless hussy :^)
Hater: (slammed his hands on the table) What the FUCK did you just say to him??
Drizelda: [was not moved by Hater's outburst, as if she was used to this sort of display] I called him a hussy, of course. Having an affair with u while stringing Lord Grimm along. Such a shameless cretin, bt wat can u expect frm a commoner? [chuckled haughtily]
[all the other candidates were murmuring amongst themselves, saying things like "no wonder tht lizard looked fat" n "tht furball must've slept ard a lot", etc...]
Loathe: [stands up] Tht's it! Dinner's ovr! Everyone go bk to ur rooms!
Drizelda: Pfft! Watevr. I'm so winning this, n if u knw wat's good for u, u will consider wat I said abt tht lizard boy. U DON'T want to go to war with me [walked away with her head held high]
Wander: :( [sat dwn n looked at his feet sadly]
Hater: (sunk back in his chair, pinching his brow)
Loathe: [glared seethingly at all the candidates leaving the dining room, then turned to Wander] U okay there, Wander? :(
Wander: Yeah... Yeah, I'm OK... I, uh, I gotta go... [gets off the seat n left the dining room]
Hater: :( ...
Loathe: :| [ribbed Hater] Wat r u sitting ur ass there for?? Hurry up n go after him! >:C
Hater: :O Oh! (got up and hurried after Wander)
Wander: [sighed sadly n was walking dwn the hallway towards his room]
Hater: Wander, wait!
Wander: [turned ard to see him, barely had time to wipe away the tiny tears clinging to his lashes] Oh, hey, Hatey...
Hater: Hey... :( Don't listen to what she says...you're no hussy... (reached to pet his shoulder)
Wander: It's OK... I've heard worst... No, I'm kidding, this is the worst I've heard someone call me, bt I can deal with it... [sighed] Sylvia's right. I hv no business being here. I should just eliminate myself out of this competition while I still can, save us all the trouble
Hater: (grabbed his shoulders, making the nomad face him) :| Hey, you've never given up on helping someone, even if they do say they don't need it, what makes you think you should stop now? You're the most helpful, most friendly face, heck even most kindest person in all the nine galaxies. You've never once let anyoine tell you otherwise from what you believed it and you shouldn't be now.
Wander: [was surprised at all the words coming out of Hater's mouth, blushed a little as he looked away] I... I thought u hated me... Tht u hate me being ard u...
Hater: Yeah... I know I say that a lot, but... I feel I only said that cause... a conqueror like me having a friend like you... I kind of worried about what people would say about that...
Wander: [sighed after a short pause] Bt look at wat happened to my meddling? Tht mean peacock lady found dirt on Terry. I bet Grimmy hates him now, n Terry prolly hates me as well :(
Hater: :( ... (embraced him)
Wander: [was surprised at the embrace, then returns it, hugging him bk]
Wander: [sat near Terrance, making small talk with him, n encouraging him to chat with Grimm]
Hater: (sat across from them, glacning at Wander)
Loathe: [noticed n nudged his foot with her own] Someone's been eyeballing a certain furball~

As My Heart Dies-Chp21
[the rest of the picnic went smoothly, n it ended with Grimm giving Terrance a kiss on the forehead]
Grimm: I hope to spend more time with u like this in the future
Terrance: me too... :$
Grimm: Cya ard, n thanks, Wander :) [left the two alone]
Wander: Well, that went well, didn't it? :D
Terrance: Surprisingly, yes. :)
Wander: Well, despite the minor setback. I reli hope tht u don't get into trouble with that peacock lady
Terrance: (worry) But she...
Wander: Don't worry, Hatey n I got ur bk, n I'm sure Grimmy would nvr abandon u
Terrance: ... :) Thanks, Wand.
Wander: No probs, Terry. N, uh, I assume u pretty much guessed I'm not exactly in the running to be Grimmy's bride [scratched his chin sheepishly]
Terrance: Yeah, his sister dragged you up there for some reason.
Wander: Oh well [shrugged] Whatever the reason, I'm here to stay, n while I'm here, I'm gonna make it my mission to help u win ;)
Terrance: :)
Wander: [jumps up to give him a hug] For good luck ^w^
Terrance: ! Uh, thanks... :) (hugged back)
Wander: Alright, cya wen I cya [waved n left him after walking him to his room]
Terrance: (wave)
Wander: [made his way to his room n sees Sylvia not looking too happy] Eheh, I guess u heard abt the elimination process... ^^;;
Sylvia: Yes... :^)
Wander: I know wat ur thinking, bt I got a good reason--
Sylvia: It's because you wanna continue hanging around Hater, isn't it??
Wander: Wat? Umm, no, I mean, not reli. I just reli feel bad for Terry n I can see he n Grimmy r reli into each other n I just wanna help...!
Sylvia: Wander, you should let them figure out their feelings for themselves and Hater's probably annoyed with you still being here.
Wander: Not reli. He even teamed up with me to help me with my quest :)
Sylvia: Wander... (sighed) Look, I worry about you sometimes, you know that? Sure you have good intentions but they don't always work out.
Wander: I know, bt we wouldn't know if it'll work or not unless we try. N besides, if I were to let them figure out their feelings for themselves, they're nvr gonna happen. U should've seen Terry. He's so shy, he's afraid of his own shadow. N all those candidates r hogging Grimmy all over the place. If I didn't do this, Terry wouldn't hv been able to stand up for himself like he did today. U should've seen wat he did to tht mean ol peacock lady... [was so excited he didn't even realize he was blabbing on n on]
Sylvia: ^^;; Okay, okay, slow down, buddy, I get the picture.
Wander: Just... Lemme do this, OK? I reli, reli, RELI wanna see Terry win. Pleeeeeeeeaaaaaaassssseeee~~~~??
Sylvia: ... (sighed) Alright, fine. (smirk)
Wander: Weee~~~ :D [hugged Sylvia tight]
Sylvia: (hugged him back) ^^
Grimm: I hope to spend more time with u like this in the future

As My Heart Dies-Chp20
[the trio made their way to the royal gardens, n settled on a slightly open field, with Hater closely following behind in secret]
Grimm: I think this is a good spot
Wander: Great! Lemme set the place up, u guys chat away, don't mind me :D
Terrance: (sits across from Grimm) :$
Hater: (kept in hiding)
Grimm: [rubbed the bk of his neck sheepishly] So, uh, ur from Planet Lizardran, u say? Which galaxy is that from?
Terrance: The 7th Galaxy.
Grimm: Wow, that's pretty far. Umm, so wat made u wanna join this suitors' ceremony?
Terrance: My family... :(
Grimm: Why? Wat abt ur family? Don't u hv ur own thing bk at ur planet regarding marriages?
Terrance: Some of us do, but my parents... they're the kind that feel like they have the right to control my fate. Have me marry someone I just met... I mean you seem nice but I don't want to go into marriage right away if I end up winning this...
Grimm: Tbh, I'm not too happy abt this either, bt it's our royal custom apparently. I prefer to marry out of love, not out of obligation. Bt again, if I were to be even honest, I think... I think I might hv found the one, even if it's thru this unconventional method... :$ [blushed as he stared into Terrance's eyes]
Terrance: :$
Hater: (smirk)
Grimm: Well if u do win this, I plan to hv us on a long engagement, get to know each other even more before we decide to officially tie the knot. Bt lemme say tht I... I intend to let u win... [takes his hands gently]
Terrance: (flushes even more) I...I hope I win too... :)
Grimm: :)
Wander: Oh guys~ Picnic is ready! :D
Terrance: :) SHall we?
Grimm: We shall :) [leads Terrance to the picnic mat where the picnic food is all spread out]
Wander: Take ur pick. Made these especially for the two of u, n a little something for myself [stacks some sandwiches with lettuce, tomatoes, cheese n eggs] Mmm~ :p
Terrance: (takes a sandwich) :)
Grimm: [takes a Subway sandwich n ate]
[The trio sat together, eating n making small talk, with Hater keeping watch of the surroundings while listening in to their conversation]
Grimm: So, wats ur deal with my bro?
Wander: Wat do u mean?
Terrance: You and him seem pretty close to each other.
Hater: (still in hiding) :o
Wander: Well, of course we're close. We're best buds! We even have matching pendants [shows his half of the pendant] I do hope he's wearing his half tho :D
Grimm: [snorts] U sure u two don't hv something more than tht? (smirk)
Hater: >///<
Terrance: Are you sure it isn't something more then friends? (giggle)
Wander: We're just BFFs, nothing more. I mean, he wouldn't want me anyways, I'm always traveling the world, he's always conquering the world, he's sorta evil, n I'm good. I mean I know there's some good in him, bt I can't force him to change. N besides Sylvia doesn't like him, so there's that
Grimm: Sylvia? U mean the zbornak always hanging ard with u?
Wander: Yup, that's her. My best buddy as well
Terrance: But have you considered maybe he's feeling more then 'hate' towards you?
Hater: :(
Wander: Hmm... (think) I dunno, maybe. I figured deep dwn he's just insecure abt stuff, bt I can't force him to change his feelings for me. Even if it's just a one-sided thing, I'm happy to be best buds with him :)
Grimm: U know, maybe--
??: Wat's this? A picnic n u didn't invite me? Sire, I'm hurt
Hater: ?
Terrance: :o huh?
[it was the humanoid peacock, coming in from the opposite direction of where Hater was supposed to keep watch]
Grimm: Oh, Drizelda, it's u. Wat r u doing here?
Drizelda: I'm just here to admire ur gardens n maybe catch a little fresh air n some sun. How lucky I am to find u here [parks herself btwn Terrance n Grimm] Hello, my fellow competitors [smiled at Wander n Terrance, tho her smile was insincere] I hope ur not thinking of trying to monopolize our Lord in order to get ahead of the race. Lord Grimm is fair game, u knw
Terrance: B-but...
Hater: :| (thinks; bitch)
Wander: I'm sorry, bt its a private picnic btwn me, Terry n Grimmy. U shouldn't barge in unannounced
Drizelda: We're going by nicknames now, aren't we? Arent u just so sweet n close to Lord Grimm here? Like I said, its fair game, n everyone gets to pitch in to be courted by Lord Grimm. Ur not trying to play favourites, are u, Lord Grimm? U do play fair, right, just wat u said abt poor dear Morella abt fighting fair? (smirk)
Grimm: Well, no, I'm not bt...
Drizelda: Then tht's settled. I'm joining u. The more the merrier, right? Wat do we hv? [sees the picnic basket] Ugh, sandwiches? These r commoner food. Don't u hv caviar n wine? :^)
Terrance: Hey. :| He's not interested to talk to you right now, so please leave.
Wander: [was impressed with Terrance finally standing up for himself, bt secretly did some sort of hand signal to alert Hater to do something]
Grimm: Guys, pls don't...
Drizelda: Huh, looks like lizard boy here finally grew some balls. U might wanna be careful wen u talk to me. U nvr knw wen--
Terrance: (inhaled and spat a lime green slime in her face)
Hater: :O whoa.
Wander: :O
Grimm: :O
Drizelda: >_< Ack! Wat the--?? Ugh! Tht does it! This means war! U haven't seen the last of me! [grabbed a napkin frm the stack in the basket n stomped off, purposely shoving Terrance away as she did]
Terrance: Oof. (shook it off) Well... that's what she gets. (smirk) (to Grimm) That's not going to get me eliminated is it? (worry)
Grimm: [snapped out of it] N-No, of course not. She was being a little annoying bt u prolly might've made an enemy out of her. I'm more worried abt u
Wander: Didn't knw u had it in u. Wat was tht?
Terrance: That? It's what you might call a form of defense. ^^;;
Grimm: It's not gonna kill her or make her blind or anything, right? I'd hate for u to get in trouble bcoz of tht
Terrance: Blind for a little bit but it'll wear off. (nod)
Wander: If I didn't knw better, u were a pretty badass wen u want to, Terry :D
Terrance: Well, yes, maybe. :$
Grimm: Shall we continue our picnic before we were rudely interrupted? ;)
Wander: Oh yeah, totally, bt don't mind me. I'm gonna go pick some flowers for my room. I'll brb [sneaked off to go see Hater] Is she gone? Tht mean peacock lady?
Hater: Yeah she's gone.
Wander: Geez, I figured competition is tight, bt I didn't expect it to be tht tight :(
Hater: It's what happens when it comes to royalty.
Wander: I hope nothing happens to Terry. She seems like a pretty mean person
Hater: I've got his back if Grimm's not around to do so.
Wander: That's good. I better get bk to the picnic before they wonder where am I (wave) [made his way bk to the picnic]
Hater: (wave) Cya.
Grimm: I think this is a good spot
Wander: Great! Lemme set the place up, u guys chat away, don't mind me :D
Terrance: (sits across from Grimm) :$
Hater: (kept in hiding)
Grimm: [rubbed the bk of his neck sheepishly] So, uh, ur from Planet Lizardran, u say? Which galaxy is that from?
Terrance: The 7th Galaxy.
Grimm: Wow, that's pretty far. Umm, so wat made u wanna join this suitors' ceremony?
Terrance: My family... :(
Grimm: Why? Wat abt ur family? Don't u hv ur own thing bk at ur planet regarding marriages?
Terrance: Some of us do, but my parents... they're the kind that feel like they have the right to control my fate. Have me marry someone I just met... I mean you seem nice but I don't want to go into marriage right away if I end up winning this...
Grimm: Tbh, I'm not too happy abt this either, bt it's our royal custom apparently. I prefer to marry out of love, not out of obligation. Bt again, if I were to be even honest, I think... I think I might hv found the one, even if it's thru this unconventional method... :$ [blushed as he stared into Terrance's eyes]
Terrance: :$
Hater: (smirk)
Grimm: Well if u do win this, I plan to hv us on a long engagement, get to know each other even more before we decide to officially tie the knot. Bt lemme say tht I... I intend to let u win... [takes his hands gently]

As My Heart Dies-Chp19
[the duo made their way to the kitchen, n Wander, with Hater backing him up, requested the cooks to make a picnic basket for three]
Hater: :) (giving food requests)
[once the picnic basket is ready, Wander carries it to Terrance's front door of his room]
Wander: Now here's the plan, Hatey. Terry, Grimm n I r gonna hv a picnic together, u know, just to make it look like he's courting the both of us. U keep an eye out n try to keep all the other candidates away :D
Hater: Yeah, gotcha. (nod)
Wander: (like) [knocks on Terrance's room door]
Terrance: (answers) ?
Wander: Hi, Terry. Wanna go on a picnic with me n Grimm? :)
Terrance: Oh...with both of you? You'll be tagging along?
Wander: Naw, just u, me n Grimm. Hatey is gonna be our lookout guy. Here, take the basket. It's kinda heavy [passed the basket to Terrance]
Terrance: (takes it for him) ... Sounds like fun, actualy. :)
Hater: :D
Wander: Sweet! Now let's go look for Grimm n invite him! [takes Terrance's hand n led him dwn the hall to look for Grimm]
Hater: (wave)
Grimm: [was at the foyer talking to the help]
Wander: [waved excitedly frm far] Oh, Grimmy~~
Grimm: [turned to see Wander n Terrance, then blushed] Oh hey, it's u guys. How can I help?
Wander: [nudged Terrance closer n jerked his head to ask him to invite Grimm]
Terrance: Y-you...uh...caretojoinusforapicniclunch? >///<
Grimm: Wait, wat? [didn't exactly catch that]
Wander: [rolled his eyes humorously n gave Terrance a reassuring tug on his robe]
Terrance: I mean...j-join us...for a picnic lunch? :$
Grimm: :$ Oh, oh, yeah, sure, I'd love to
Wander: Great. U know any good places for us to settle dwn to eat?
Grimm: As a matter of fact I do [held out both his arms for them]
Wander: [takes his hand on the left instead, coz of his height] Such a gentleman ^w^
Terrance: (takes arm on the right) :)
Hater: :) (giving food requests)
[once the picnic basket is ready, Wander carries it to Terrance's front door of his room]
Wander: Now here's the plan, Hatey. Terry, Grimm n I r gonna hv a picnic together, u know, just to make it look like he's courting the both of us. U keep an eye out n try to keep all the other candidates away :D

As My Heart Dies-Chp18
[for the nxt couple of weeks, Grimm continued to court the 10 candidates, bt mostly try to spend more time with Terrance, bt unfortunately bcoz Terrance was too shy n he had 8 other ppl to compete with (minus Wander), they didn't hv much progress, n it was soon the first elimination process]
Hater: (think)
[all 10 candidates lined up in the throne room, waiting nervously for the results]
Loathe: [whispered to Hater's ear so the candidates can't hear] Who do u think Grimm is gonna kick out first?
Hater: (whispers) At least someone he hasn't spent enough time with... (figures it'd be Wander)
Loathe: [whispers] I'm thinking tht he might wanna kick tht one out [pointing at the blue alien with orange hair] She's pretty, bt I heard she wanted to marry Grimm for his riches coz her planet is going bankrupt n she's planning to abandon it n move in here
Hater: :^) Huh.
Loathe: [whispers] I hear tht one is tough to beat [gestured at a bird-like alien tht looks like a humanoid peacock] She's the prettiest of all the candidates here, n I hear she's frm a vry strong planet bkgrd n part of some ancient royal ancestry or something
Wander: [was standing nxt to Terrance, then looked up n tugged gently at his robe] Psst! Psst!
Terrance: ? (glanced at Wander)
Wander: [whispers] Isn't this exciting? Our first elimination process?
Terrance: I...I suppose...?
Wander: [whispers] U think ur gonna stay? I bet u might. Grimm likes u a lot ;)
Terrance: :$ I'm not sure, I can't be that interesting to him...
Wander: [whispers] C'mon, he's been looking for an excuse to talk to u more these few weeks. U cant deny he's got a thing for u (smirk)
Terrance: :$ I suppose...
[a hush rolled in as Grimm enters the throne room n stood before the candidates]
Grimm: Today, I will eliminate 2 ppl frm the group. Those who got eliminate, no hard feelings, OK? [looked quietly thru the group]
Loathe: [keeping fingers crossed]
Hater: (think) ...
Terrance: (worry)
Wander: [waiting quietly, giving Terrance's robe an encouraging tug]
Grimm: (think).... [looked some more, then gestured at the blue alien with red hair Loathe mentioned earlier] Sheila... [gestured to a white long necked alien dressed in black] and Morella. I'm sorry, bt u two r out
Terrance: (phew)
Grimm: The rest of u can...
Wander: Umm, sorry to interrupt...
Grimm: Yes, Sir Wander?
Hater: :O
Wander: [was abt to say tht he wanted to eliminate himself, then stole a look at Hater, n then Terrance, n he somehow couldn't go thru with it] ....Umm, nothing. Just wanna thank u for letting me stay. Is all
Grimm: Ur welcome :) As I was saying, the rest of u can go bk to wat ur doing. Sheila n Morella, u may pack up n leave
Hater: (thinks; wait, what?)
Sheila: I don't understand, why am I being eliminated? I've done nothing wrong!
Morella: :^) It's that hidious reptile isn't it?
Terrance: :(
Sheila: Yeah! U hv been flirting with tht ugly fat ass all the weeks n barely chat with us! Why r we eliminated?
Grimm: [turns to them sternly with a seriousness that matched Fury] I eliminated u, Sheila, bcoz ur using me n this ceremony to get out of ur planet n exploit my riches. I will not marry someone who would abandon their planet n their ppl n leave them to starve n die while they fatten themselves up using my wealth n u [turned to Morella] U tried to poison one of the candidates last week so tht they would forfeit. I don't intend to marry a person that does not fight fair n resort to murder. Don't think I don't know both of ur intentions, I've got eyes everywhere. Now pls leave, or I'll hv the guards escort u
Sheila: Th-This is preposterous! I won't stand for this!
Morella: Like we're going anywhere!!
Hater: (growled and stood up) HE'S NOT INTERESTED IN EITHER OF YOU, NOW GET THE FUCK OUT IF YOU BOTH VALUE YOUR LIVES! (sparked up his hands)
[the girls gasped n quickly left, noisily complaining as they stomped out with their servants n ladies-in-waiting following behind them]
Grimm: Guess I don't need the guards after all. Sorry for the commotion. Pls go bk to whatever ur doing n we'll see each other wen I'm free [steals a last look at Terrance before leaving the throne room]
Wander: [turns to Terrance] See? He does like u (smirk)
Terrance: :o
Hater: (smirk) Hehe, Hater #1 Superstar.
Loathe: Pfft, show-off |-( Well, good riddance to those two. I'm off to make a video call to my lovely Archie-poo~<3 [walks off happily]
Wander: Well, let's hope u last till the end, eh, Terry? [already giving Terrance a nickname]
Terrance: Heh, yeah. :$
Wander: (giggle) [sees Hater coming towards him] Excuse me for a moment [turns to Hater] Hi, Hatey, how's it going?
Hater: Fine, I guess... but why'd you pause about getting out of this?
Wander: I, uh... [makes sure Terrance has left before he replied] I just felt like I need to help Terry with getting closer to ur brother, u knw, to increase his chances of winning
Hater: That right?
Wander: Yeah. I mean, as soon as we get those two together closer, I promise I'll eliminate myself. Scouts' honour
Hater: Uh huh... but... you're not gonna be...fully leaving the planet altogether, are you?
Wander: Umm... Maybe, maybe not. We'll see how it goes. U knw how it is, I go where the road takes me [clapped once with glee] So shall we get started?
Hater: Um...sure.
Wander: C'mon, let's get those two lovebirds together, n wat better way than a picnic! [takes Hater's hand n drags him out of the throne room] Oh btw, where's the kitchen in this plc?
Hater: ^^;; (gives him directions)
Hater: (think)
[all 10 candidates lined up in the throne room, waiting nervously for the results]
