CHAPTER 1

Let's get Paulie married!

Iceburg had been quite amused by all the proposals Paulie was getting recently. Some of those women even got that unlucky gambler out of deep debt for the debtors would rather forsake their money than their wives. Some of the others simply caved into the wrath of these women. But he was definitely getting tired of the young man's incessant complaints about the immorality of most of those good-looking ones to be more accurate(Paulie was kind of obvious).

Iceburg was glad that Paulie had been absent during "The Secretary Interview". Lord knows what Paulie's reaction would have been(well, it would be hilarious if one thought about it but...).

What could one do about this boy?

"Lets get him married!"

"Eh?", said Iceburg now wide awake to his surroundings. He was sitting by the poolside, drink in one hand, important papers in another. Chimney, the originator of the idea, and Gonbe the cat-bunny were attempting to teach his new secretary how to swim. Chimney had quite taken to this girl and, honestly, the girls were quite similar in certain respects. Swimming was probably the only thing his genius secretary was actually bad at and Chimney, being quite the expert was attempting to erase this blot.

"You were mumbling about Paulie", pouted Chimney.

"So how about we find him a decent boring woman who looks like Kokoro-obasan and get him married?", completed his secretary.

Iceburg was tempted to counter this as somehow he didn't quite think Paulie disliked what he saw...after all he was a bit too prude to be true but then he didn't want to disappoint the girls. (And it really was a good idea and sounded fun). So he simply warned them that Paulie may not like women who looked like Kokoro as she was now(thinking back, he'd heard of her immeasurable beauty as a young woman but certainly could not imagine her as anything but...Kokoro).

And hence the motion was passed three to none.
