TEN: Last Chance

"Our Prince Roald is growing up!"

"She's coming in a few days, apparently. This is your last chance to admit your undying love to some girl, you know!"

He sighed and put down his book. "What are you going on about now?"

"Your betrothed," Neal told him.

"We were just saying that you'd better get a move on if you want to court someone before your Yamani bride shows up."

Neal waggled his eyebrows, leaning over Roald's shoulder, and said, "We all know you have some sort of tender, passionate -"

"You need to stop reading those romance novels, Neal," Roald advised, crossing his arms. "Don't be stupid."

Cleon scooted his chair closer. "Well, Roald, it's your last chance. A few days of true love to savour before marriage - think about it."

"I don't need to think about anything," he told them, and left the library.

While walking down the halls, he briefly replayed their conversation in his head.

After reaching the wing where his room was, he found himself outside a door which was not his own. For a moment he stared at the wood.

This is your last chance to admit your undying love to some girl, you know!

He began to raise his fist, ready to knock, and then stopped himself.

Don't be stupid.

"Yeah," he mumbled, shaking his head bemusedly at what he'd almost done.

And with that, he turned and walked away from Kel's door.

I'm sorry I didn't update yesterday. I had a lot of stuff to do. And then this one appears.

This one had about seven hundred rewrites. I did it over so many times I felt like tearing all my hair out and smashing my head against the computer screen until I fainted. I was in a really odd mood today and I couldn't think straight. But, I forced myself to write. And then I practically committed suicide writing the next one which I was originally planning to post today to make up for not updating yesterday (I swear I'll post two tomorrow!)

Roald is one of my favourite characters in the first/second books (I don't have a clue why, but there we are) so I hope this is up to scratch. I love all my reviewers soooo muccch! -glomp- You're all so coooool. I may be considering doing lots more weird pairing one shots in the future, so rejoice! Maybe (it's been suggested) I will write a story/one shot for the most popular weird pairing.

Anyway, see you all tomorrow!
