Chapter 10.
"Do you think poison apples grow on trees?" Queen Marina asked Michael.
"If you give me one more chance," Michael said. "Maybe I can do it."
Michael was the waiter with the accent.
"There's only two left," Marina said. "I'm coming to do it myself."
Then she screamed really loud and broke glasses and jars in the restaurant. Pim was in one of the jars. She got pushed out of the jar she was in and landed beside Michael.
"How did you like your hotdog?" Alexander asked.
Jonathan and Anna looked confused.
"It's not really a dog," Karina said. "They just call it a hotdog here."
"It's so good," Anna said.
"Well," Jonathan said."This has been a wonderful date. Are you two ready to go?"
"Go where?" Karina asked.
"Home, of course," Anna said. "To be married."
"We don't have to go just yet," Alexander said.
"How long do these dates last?" Anna asked.
"They can go for as long as you want," Alexander said.
"There is this ball I would like to go to," Karina said.
"A ball," Anna said, smiling.
"Then it's settled," Karina said.
"But it's back home later?" Jonathan asked.
"The moment's over," Karina said.
"Meet us back at the Philips' apartment in an hour," Alexander said.
Alexander and Karina walked to Andalasia Fashions. They walked in. Drew and I were in the corner, working on our stuff. We didn't see them.
They saw Evan and Cassandra.
"Alexander! Karina!" Evan whispered.
"You're back," Cassandra whispered.
"We need your help," Karina said.
Dad and Mom walked over when they saw Alexander and Karina.
"We'll help, too," Dad said.
"Okay," Alexander said.
Mom walked over to Drew and I and told us that she, Dad, Evan and Cassandra had to go somewhere.
"We'll meet you at the ball," I said.
Drew and I looked back on our work. We didn't even see Alexander and Karina leave with our family.
