"Zidane, wake up! Baku needs you!" Marcus said as he shook Zidane to try to wake him up.

"Just 5 more minutes." Zidane said as he turned his head and fell back asleep.

"No, dude! Get up now! You know how it is when Baku gets mad!" Marcus said as he shook harder.

"Dammit! Stop it, Marcus! I'll get up... Dude, I had a good dream, too!" Zidane said as he sat up and stood out of his bed.

"About who?" Marcus asked.

"Princess Garnet. Some beast was trying to kill her, so I saved her." Zidane said as he walked out the room.

"You've seen to many pictures of her, dude!" Marcus replied as he rolled his eyes.

When Zidane reached the meeting room, the first thing he said was, "Baku, what do you want?"

"Sit down, and let me tell you! As you know, it's almost Queen Brahne's birthday, and the general of Alexandria has asked us to put on a surprise play for the 'special event'. So, what play shall we put on?" Baku said as everyone took a seat.

"Uh, what about 'I want to be Your Canary'?" Cinna suggested.

"Nah, that's the Princess's favorite. How about 'Ipsen and Colin'?" Zidane suggested.

"That ain't a half bad idea. Glad I came up with it." Baku said as he left the room.

"Way to go, Zidane! I knew y'all could do it!" Ruby said as she jumped up and down. "I just love doing that play! I love being Colin's wife."

"You mean, my wife?" Cinna asked as he put his arm around her waist.

"Uh, maybe we could get a new Colin this year. Maybe, like Blank? Oh, let me go suggest that to Baku!" Ruby said as she ran out of the room and followed Baku.

"Man, that hurt where it hurts most." Cinna said as he sighed and walked back to the bedroom. Zidane, Marcus, and Blank just looked at each other.

"I think Blank would make a great Colin. Don't you, Zidane?" Marcus said to break the silence.

"Yep. And with me as Ipsen, we can do no wrong!" Zidane said as he thumped his fist against his chest.

"But, I wonder why Ruby would want me as Colin." Blank questioned. Again, Zidane, Marcus, and Blank looked at each other.

"Go figure, Blank." Zidane said as he left the room.

"Tell me when you figure it out." Marcus said as he left right behind Zidane.
