Title; The Return of the Prince.
Prolog, Princely Mystery.
Nearly 17 years ago, a Middle Eastern Kingdom called Khakistan, ruled by Sultan Khazaiah Sayedso and his queen Melorah, celebrated a royal birth.
Ten years after their daughter, the Princess Sandrina had been born, the Sultan and his queen were blessed with their second child, a boy.
The royal couple were thrilled and named the baby, Ali.
Not long after, sadly, tragedy struck with the queens passing, leaving the Sultan to raise two young children.
The princess was not happy, to now have a brother, the law, stated, only the first-born male heir would rule, effectively preventing her from inheriting the throne, of their kingdom.
Sandrina, who desperately wanted to become queen and have ultimate royal power after her father died, hatched a plan to rid herself of her only obstacle, to the throne.
A week after her mothers passing, late at night, Sandrina crept into the nursery.
Ali was crying as he often did early in the morning and knowing their father would come to check up on him, Sandrina quickly picked up the baby to quiet him.
She wrapped her little brother in a plain blanket acquired from one of the servants and took him to her room.
Removing his royal clothing and hiding it in the back of her closet, Sandrina dressed Ali in plain peasant clothing and then rewrapped the blanket around him.
Picking Ali up again, she stepped over to the east wall of her bedroom, where there were several large paintings, hanging.
Standing in front of a large portrait of herself, she reached behind the frame and pushed a button on the wall, which caused a hidden door to slide open leading into a tunnel, with a series of underground passageways.
Sandrina took one turning left, leading to a door to the courtyard, a back way, out of the palace.
She had arranged for a manservant called Hadima, to meet her and handing him the bundled up Ali, gave him orders, to "MAKE HIM DISAPPEAR! Leave him in the desert, at the not so tender mercies of the elements!"
Hadima nodded, knowing she could easily make serious trouble for him, if he did not obey her.
Traveling away from the palace, Hadima wondered if there was any way to save the young Prince.
Even though he knew, if he did, he would be going against her direct instructions, which would surly bring serious, if not deadly consequences if he was found out.
By chance, or perhaps fate, Hadima spotted a small caravan, which was traveling along the same path across this stretch of desert.
Knowing Sandrina had disguised her brother, so no one would recognize him, Hadima approached the caravan and made up a story about being poor and unable to care for the baby.
Hadima had given the baby his own name while relating his story.
A young couple traveling in the caravan were suspicious, having spotted a small signet ring of gold, engraved with an A.S., on the babys finger, which Sandrina had overlooked, in her haste to disguise Ali.
They questioned Hadima, who broke down and confessed the plot.
The servant trembled as he told them the baby's actual name, confirming he was Prince Ali, heir apparent to the throne of Khakistan.
He begged them to take the baby far away and keep him safe from his sister the princess.
The couple agreed, they did not want baby Ali, or Hadima, for that matter, to suffer the ultimate fate.
He gratefully thanked them and quickly leaving, Hadima snuck back into the place and reported to the Princess, who was anxiously awaiting him, in her bedroom. He told her that she had nothing to fear from anyone finding Ali.
Sandrina was pleased and told Hadima, he was free to go. She gave him a gold bracelet as a reward, telling him to "Leave the palace and never return."
He bowed and relieved at being dismissed from her service, quickly left through the secret passageway.
Sandrina did not want him to break down under any questioning and tell the Sultan what had happened to Ali.
Sandrina could now relax, certain that she would never see her brother again and her father would never find out the truth, clearing the way for her to become Queen.
Sixteen years later, a misunderstanding of identities occurred, when The Impossibles came from America, to the Middle East on a musical tour.
Their first stop was Khakistan, where due to his remarkable resemblance to the Sultan as a teenager, band member Franky McAlister, known as Fluey to his bandmates because of his superhero alter ego Fluidman, was thought by the aged ruler, to be his long lost son.
The princess, in fear that her inheritance was threatened again, set about trying to eliminate him.
As it turned out, Fluey was not the prince as a D.N.A. test proved, but Sandrina did not know, because she had been arrested and was in prison before the results had come back.
The Impossibles, left Khakistan, to return to the US, leaving behind a deadly enemy and the still unsolved mystery, of the whereabouts of Prince Ali.
It had been nearly a year since the Khakistan, incident and the Impossibles had gone about their usual lives, with their singing and crime fighting careers.
Back in Khakistan, Sandrina sat in her cell wearing the usual unflattering orange prison jumpsuit. She had always been use to wearing nothing but the most elegant mid eastern fashions and this was certainly her worst nightmare.
Trying to figure some way to escape this boring existence she had been locked into, Sandrina grumbled, "This all Ali's Fault! If I ever get out of here and get my hands on that little brother of mine! Ill make him pay!"
As the year wore on Sandrina spent her time, when she was not performing menial labor as part of her punishment, plotting a fitting, revenge against Fluey, whom she still thought, was her brother Ali.
The Impossibles meantime were embarking on their latest concert tour, Fluey, Coiley, Multi and Skittles, although they did not know it yet, were on a collision course, with danger.
While traveling from Megatropolis in the Impossi-mobile to their first gig, the boys were listening to one of their favorite radio stations, when a news flash came on the air.
"World News, Brandy Richards reporting from the Mid East, on the current state of the health of the ruler of a small kingdom known as Khakistan. Little is known at this time only that His Royal Majesty, Sultan Khazaiah Sayedso is ailing. As soon as more on the condition of this long time ruler is available, this report will be updated. For World News Reports, this is Brandy Richards, now on to...."
"That's too bad." Commented Coiley as he was tuning the radio, looking for more music.
"Yeah, I wonder what they're going to do, if he doesn't get better. I mean, with the Prince still missing and the Princess in prison, there isn't an easy way out, for that country." Multi replied.
Fluey didn't say anything, hearing the news had reminded him about the incident a year ago and was enough to make him shudder, even though he was sorry to hear, that the Sultan wasn't well.
The first stop on the newest tour for The Singing Impossibles, was a hotel with a unique look, being located at a coastal resort, it had a sand and surf look, with the lobby decorated in shades of aqua to cobalt blues, tan furniture and interesting fixtures right down to the decorative seashell ashtrays. Looking at the bright colors and colorful decorations it was like a huge beach cabana, one could almost imagine the sound of the ocean waves and smell the salty sea air.
Even though the concert hall within the hotel was not as big as some indoor and outdoor places they had been use to playing.
It wasnt the smallest venue The Impossibles had ever played either.
That distinction, went to, *The Enchanted Tiki Room* Lounge, they had played in, during the Tropical Getaway Tour, on board, The Ocean Breeze, a Cruise Ship.
The Impossi-Mobile pulled up the drive to the front door of the Sea Breeze Hotel and The Impossibles spotted a poster which said in large colorful letters Concert Tonight, In Person, Live On Stage, THE IMPOSSIBLES!
It was advertising the concert scheduled for that evening, with an SRO banner across the bottom.
Excited at the thought of a Standing Room Only concert, the boys could not wait to get in and prepare for it.
However, as they began to unload their luggage, they could not know that fate, was already pointing several players, in the drama to come, their way.
Beginning an adventure, The Imposssibles would not soon forget.
End of prolog.
