Chapter 2: The "Invitation"... OHH WOW... PRETTY... I'VE GONE CRAZY... HEH...

--------------------

As Spike was going through the halls and through doors trying to get to his brothers and step-mother's headquarters, the castle had a lot of rumbling going on.

~~~~~~~~~~

Back in the castle, Prince Faye was screaming at her mother for setting up a ball in the next 3 days.

"MOTHER!! I never asked for this! DAMN!! I don't want to get married!! YOU HEAR NOT TO MARRY!!!" screamed Faye.

"Faye, Faye. YOU WILL MARRY BECAUSE I SAY SO YOU ASS!!" Julia announced.

"I already sent out the invitations to the towns peoples and THEY WILL COME!!"

"Now, now, my dear Julia. You mustn't rush love, my dear." Punch replied with a grin.

"NO, MY FAYE MUST GET MARRIED TO HONOR US IN PLACE WHEN WE ARE GONE!"

"DAMN YOU MOTHER!!!!" Faye said with disgust.

Faye walks out of the castle and into the streets, while putting on her blue, with golden threads, jacket.

~~~~~~~~~~

As Spike was running trying to hurry, so his brothers won't beat the crap out of him again.

"DAMN IT SPIKE!!! WHERE IS MY FOOD?!?!?!!" Shin screamed which echoed through out the gigantic house.

"AHH SHIT" Spike said, trying to hurry without dropping the food.

Spike hurried to their rooms and gave them each their breakfast. Each brother replied differently and in a very harsh way.

"SHIT SPIKE! THANK TOOK LONG ENOUGH!!" Jet scolded at Spike.

"NEXT TIME HURRY OR I"M GONNA HURT YOU ASS!" Shin replied as Spike gave him his eggs.

"SPIKE YOU BETTER HURRY OR YOU KNOW WHAT WILL HAPPEN IF YOU DON'T!" Lin gave him a u-better-be-faster-or-I'll-hurt-ya look.

When Spike reached his horrible step-mother's room, he started knocking on the door.

"You may come in Spike, my dear." Judy replied with the little of anger.

Spike entered the room and carefully placed the tray on the table.

"Spike, I have a few chores for you to do today."

"First, you must clean the floors, wash the dishes, do the laundry, feed Miss Kitty (his step-mother's rotten cat), feed the chickens, dust the ENTIRE house, get the groceries from the delivery man, and take Miss Kitty and give her a bath." Judy said as she was out of breath when she finished.

Spike thought those were NOT a few chores to do, but a loadful.

As Spike left the room, he heard the bells ringing. (The bells are like doorbells)

Spike answered the door.

"Excuse me. I have an invitation for Ms. Judy and her daughters. This is an invitation to Prince Faye's ball." The messager as he finished handed the invitation to Spike.

"I'll give it to my step-mother right away." Spike replied with a kind smile.

"Certainly, Miss. Thank you for you time." The messager left and hopped onto his horse and rode away.

As Spike was speaking to himself about the ball and what he'll wear, he started thinking.

"I wonder why Prince Faye is throwing a ball." Spike questioned as he walked up the stairs.

"I hope I'll get to meet the prince." Spike hoped with all his might.

Spike knocked on his step-mother's door once more.

"What do you want? Enter now." replied quickly as if she was in some sort of a hurry.

"Step-mother, a messenger from the castle has an invitation for you and us to come to a ball." Spike said as he handed her the invitation.

"I see." Judy replied.

She opened the invitation and read it.

"Spike call for Jet, Shin, and Lin right this instance." Judy replied with sharpness.

Spike ran down the halls where his brothers were in their rooms and called them out to their step-mother's room.

"My dear daughters, we are invited to a ball for Prince Faye. You must act on your best behavior, so that Prince Faye would pick you for your hand in marriage." Judy said. "Oh isn't this wonderful. If one you marries the Prince, then we'd be rich!" Judy was so happy to hear this, she jumped out of her chair and patted he daughters on the head, except Spike.

"Now the ball is in 3 days and we must get ready for this ball. Now get ready, cause we're gonna be the best of all those young men!" Judy rushed out of the door and went to call their tailor to make them wonderful new dresses.

After she was done, Spike asked her about the ball.

"Step-mother you only ordered 3 dresses and there is 4 of us. I'm I going with you step-mother?" Spike asked with a little smile.

Judy smiled back. "If you can finish your chores in 3 days."

Spike was filled with joy and happiness. "Thank you step-mother for letting me come."

"Spike, I said IF." Judy said with a sinister grin.

"Oh, then I will finish those chores!" Spike was so determined to get to the ball he rushed off and started his chores.

"Oh my dear Spike, you will never finish those chores." Judy smiled evilly.
