Welcome back, everyone. Just going to get this going. I'm not feeling to well so the chapter will be short. This chapter is based off of the song "Bring Me My Bride" from "A Funny Thing happened on the way to the Forum." Look it up on Youtube. Can't you just imagine Brad singing that? That goodness he's not actually like that. Also it doesn't really matter if its Chaz or Dick you read the voice as, unless its stated who it is they are interchangeable. Enjoy.

Basil had made his way to the fourth circle: greed. Cherie had made her way to the sixth circle: heresy. They would end up meeting at the halfway point but back at the theater where Basil and Cherie would have been performing, Basil's understudy: Brad Von Chilstein, a boisterous and violent jerk.

While Brad looked at himself in the mirror, in a costume that was identical to Basil's but in his size, Brad was praised. The people praising him were his lackeys, Chaz Moneranian and Dick Andrews.

"Look at those arms!"

"Look at that chest!" Brad smiled as Chaz and Dick praised him.

"Not to mention the rest." Brad looked closer in the mirror. He adjusted his hair. "Even I am impressed!"

"Look at that foot!"

"Look at that heel!"

"Mark the magnificent muscles of steel!" Brad nodded in agreement.

"I am my ideal!"" Chaz bowed before Brad. He had no spine.

"You are a man among men, Brad!" Brad continued to nod.

"Indeed, Chaz, a paragon of virtue!" Brad placed a hand on his chest. He was going to get really dramatic. "I am admired, have inspiring wit, desired love, and I'm the best dressed! I'm a parade!"

"Your eyes are cunning and keen!"

"Your thighs are like a mighty machine!" Brad smiled and walked for the door. This was his night. Basil wouldn't be getting the spotlight. He had paid Chopper well. Basil was injured and tonight, Brad was the hero!
