AUTHOR'S NOTE: Hey guys! Sorry for not publishing a new chapter in the past week, been sick at home with gastro and it was horrible!

Anyway, hope you enjoy the new chapter!


The royal matchmaker bowed at Tucker nervously and then said as he gestured to the line of beautiful women behind him, "Oh you're highness! It is time for you to choose your bride."

"Alright! Let's bring on the ladies." Tucker said and walked up to the women.

However he didn't seem satisfied with any of them and so he just told them all very quickly, "Hate your hair….no….yikes….yikes…yikes….and let me guess, you have a great personality?"

He frowned at his royal matchmaker and asked, "Is this the best you can do?"

As the matchmaker began to speak, Tucker rolled his eyes in annoyance and looked on in boredom.

What was he talking about? He's like the thing that wouldn't shut up! Anyway, still confused by the whole lama opening? Well, let me show you the people responsible for ruining my life.


Outside the palace walking up the front door, was a 28-year-old man with black hair. He wore a white tunic, a red poncho and black sandals. His name was Danny Fenton, a leader of a village that resided in the kingdom. He was also half-human, half-ghost.

First, there's this guy. Danny Fenton.

Danny looked at the paper in his hand and asked the guards, "Um, excuse me? I'm here to see Emperor Tucker. I got a summons from him."

The guard pointed to the door and instructed, "Inside, up the stairs and to the left. Just follow the signs."

"Thanks." Danny said and then continued on his way.

Oh and don't be fooled by that friendly, peasant look. This guy was nothing but trouble the minute I met him.

As Danny walked, a shoe suddenly hit his head and he caught it. He felt a hand tap his shoulder and looked up to see the same old man Tucker had thrown out the window was caught on one of the flags.

"Um, excuse me? That's my shoe." The old man said.

Danny handed back his shoe and the old man thanked him. He was about to walk away when he finally noticed he was stuck.

"Hey! Are you alright?" Danny asked as he flew up and phased the man out of the flag and bought him down to the ground.

"Oh thank you! I've been stuck there for a long time." The old man said with relief as Danny handed him his walking stick.

"What happened to you?" Danny asked.

The old man looked upset and fearful as he answered, "Well, I threw off the Emperor's groove. His groove! The rhythm in which he lives his life! His pattern of his behaviour! I threw it off and he had me thrown out the window!"

"Oh my gosh! And I'm about to see him…." Danny began to say, but the old man grabbed the front of his shirt and shouted in warning, "DON'T THROW OFF HIS GROOVE!"

"Okay…." Danny said a little bit freaked out.

The old man let go and began to walk home, still shaken by his experience.

You see what I mean? This guy is trouble, but he is nothing compared to who you're about to meet next.


In the throne room, sitting on the throne and listening to a man speak to her was a woman with red pointy hair and wore a red elegant dress. Standing beside her, was a man about Danny's age but he had blonde hair and wore a red and white tunic with black sandals.

The woman in red, that's Penelope Spectra. The Emperor's advisor. Don't let her beauty fool you. She's way older than she looks. In fact, if you saw her real face, she'd be living proof that dinosaurs once roamed the Earth.

She looked at the man with a frown as she looked almost annoyed. The man however smiled and continued to watch.

And let's not forget her right-hand man. Every decade or so, she gets a new one and this year's model is named Dash.

A fly began to buzz near Spectra's face. She brushed it away, where it started buzzing towards Dash.

"Don't worry Spectra, I got it." Dash said as he tried to get rid of it.

The fly landed on his forehead and he instantly aimed his hand. However, the fly moved away in time and instead, he knocked himself down with his own slap.

Yep! That's Dash. Anyway, Spectra has gotten into this bad habit of trying to rule the kingdom behind my back and I decided, that's gotta stop.

Spectra then cut the man off and said, "It's no concern of mine whether your family has….what was it again?"

"Um…food?" The man said nervously.

"Ha! You really should've thought of that before you became peasants!" She sneered at him. She rubbed her forehead in annoyance and ordered, "We're through here. Take him away. NEXT!"

The man was going to protest, but the guards grabbed him and began to drag him away. Spectra groaned as she rubbed her head, feeling a headache coming on.

"The nerve of some of those peasants huh?" Tucker asked.

"Tell me about it…." Spectra groaned and then turned to see Tucker standing next to her, causing her to yelp in fright.

She smiled nervously and immediately got off the throne, "You're highness! Um…..you're looking well this morning….um…."

Tucker now frowned at her and said, "You were doing it again."

"Doing what?" Spectra asked, pretending to be innocent.

"Doing my job." Tucker answered. "I'm the Emperor and you are the Emperor's advisor. Remember that?"

"But your Highness, I was merely was only dealing with meaningless peasant matters….." Spectra began to ramble, but Tucker wasn't paying attention to that.

In his head, he looked in shock and slight disgust as he noticed her heavy wrinkles, "Look at those wrinkles….what is holding that woman together?"

He then noticed the piece of food stuck in her teeth and cringed, "What the….how long has that been there?"

He was pulled out of his thoughts when Dash asked as he gave him a friendly nudge, "Good thinking Spectra. What do you say Tuck?"

Tucker immediately stood offended and reminded Dash, "Woah! No touchy! No touching me dude! No touch!"

Walker then announced as he entered the room, "Excuse me your Highness? The village leader is here to see you as you requested."

Tucker smiled and ordered, "Great. Send him in."

He then turned to Spectra and told her, "Oh and by the way Spectra, you're fired."

Spectra's eyes widened and she asked in complete shock, "Fired?! What do you mean fired?!"

A servant then came up and immediately began writing her a pink slip as Tucker answered, "Well let me put it this way; you're being let go, your department is being downside, we're moving in a different direction, you're part of an outplacement…take your pick. I got more."

The servant handed her the pink slip and she just dropped down onto the throne in shock. She was just being fired just like that after she had served the Empire for….well…let's just say a really, really long time.

She then tried to plead with the young Emperor, "But your Highness….please….I have been nothing but loyal to the Empire for many, many years."

"Hey everybody hits their stride. You just hit yours fifty years ago." Tucker said, which now made Spectra really mad.

"So….who's in my chair?" Tucker asked, as Spectra growled.

"I know! I know! I know!" Dash spoke up. "It's Spectra! Spectra is sitting in your chair."

"Very good Dash! Here's a snack!" Tucker said, throwing a biscuit in the air, as if Dash was a dog.

Dash excitedly tried to catch the snack, but ended up falling right off the platform. But he seemed okay as he called out, "I GOT IT!"

Spectra began to walk off, muttering in anger. She really, really hated Tucker now and there was no way, she was going to let him get away with this.

Tucker smiled as he sat down on his thrown, glad to be finally be rid of Spectra and her constant trying to do his job. He then ordered his guards, "Okay. Show him in."

Danny entered the room and Tucker smiled at the sight of him, "Hey there he is! My main village man!'

"Um….My name is Danny your Highness and I received a summons from you." Danny asked, wondering what the summons was for.

"Danny! That's right. You are just the man I wanted to see." Tucker said with a bright smile. "Word on the street is that you can fix my problem."

He slid down on a rope, coming down to Danny's level and asked, "You can fix my problem right?"

"Sure. I'll do what I can." Danny said, hoping he could help with whatever he needed help with.

"Good. Are you aware of how important your village is to the Empire?" Tucker asked him as he led him to another room, where something was covered by a curtain.

"Well, I know we grow most of the crops you use at the palace and we also herd the lamas that you…" Danny began to answer, but then stopped when Tucker pulled the rope and raised the curtain to reveal a scale model of his home village.

"My village?" Danny asked.

"Oh yeah. You got a sweet little set up there on top of that hill huh?" Tucker asked.

Danny smiled back and said proudly, "Yeah. My family has lived on that hilltop for the last six generations."

"Uh huh….so, where do you find you get the most sun?" Tucker asked, pointing the model of his house.

"I would say just on the other side of those trees as he pointed to the spot." Danny answered. "When the sun hits that ridge right, these hills sing."

"Well that settles it. Problem solved. Thanks for coming dude." Tucker said as he continued to look at that hill.

"That's it? That's all you wanted me for?" Danny asked, confused.

"I just needed an insider's opinion before I picked this spot for my pool." Tucker said.

"You're pool?" Danny asked, now really confused.

Tucker suddenly placed a model of a huge building right on top of the hill, destroying most of the model houses as he announced, "Boo-yah! Welcome to Tucker-topia! My ultimate summer getaway. Complete with a water slide and everything. It's my birthday gift to me and man let me tell you dude! I can't wait!"

"Wait a minute! I don't understand….what do you mean?" Danny asked, hoping that it didn't mean what he was saying.

Tucker then explained, "To put it simply, at my birthday celebration tomorrow, I give the word and your town will be destroyed to make way for this."

Danny looked at him in shock! Tucker was going to destroy the entire village just so he could have a summer home. He thought of his own family and all the people that lived in his village. What'll happen to them?

He decided to ask him, "But your Highness, what about my family and all those people who live in the village? What'll happen to them? Where will we live?"

Tucker pretended to think and then just answered arrogantly, "Hmmm…..don't know and don't care! How's that?"

Danny was now angry and was about to protest, but two guards stopped him. Tucker said giving him a cruel smirk, "When I give the word, your little town will be….bye-bye. So bye, bye!"

The guards then dragged an angry and upset Danny out of the palace. Tucker just continued to smile with pride of his plan.

Oh yeah! Everything was going my way…..or so I thought.
