"Couldn't keep quiet, could we?" Zane ranted angrily to Travis, scolding his friend "Just had to invite him to stay, didn't we? Serve him tea; sit in the master's chair, pet the pooch."
"I was trying to be hospitable." Travis protested.
As they argued, they did not listen to the sound of the door opening nor see a young girl enter the castle.
"Hello? Is anyone here? Hello? Mom? Mom, are you here?" The young woman's voice echoed throughout the palace.
"Irresponsible, devil-may-care, waxy eared, slack-jawed-"
"Mom?"
Zane and Travis' argument was cut short when they heard a voice call out. They hopped to see their new arrival.
"Did you see that? It's a girl!"
"Yes, I know it's a girl, you dimwit!"
"Don't you see? She's the one. The girl we have been waiting for. She has come to break the spell!" The candelabra shook the clock's arms until the latter broke away from his grasp.
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Zane tried to chase after his friend.
