More Important Then Love

"Princess you must be married this week."

"WHAT!?" Vi yelled, pure rage in her voice. She was sitting on her throne, Big Al was standing on the other side of the room with a shocked look, king Fred sat there staring giving no reaction. In front of the princess stood an afraid looking dog. The dog wore glasses and was holding a piece of paper. He was the royal record keeper.

"Well, uh you see your highness, your birthday is this week, your turning 20. It is the law that you must be married by then or you will never inherit the throne."

Vi looked very angry, sweat caused by fear rolled down the dogs face, he hated his job.

"Who will be the next ruler then?" Big Al asked breaking the silence. The dog looked threw the sheet which the law was written on.

"Uh the Prime Minister will hereby inherit the throne if the prince or princess has not been wed by his or her 20th birthed. That's what the law says." The dog replied. Big Al smiled.

"Well there you have it, we don't have a Prime Minister, we haven't had one since Big Cheese was fired."

The dog gave a nervous laugh. Big Al looked to him. "What?"

"Well the Princess never did get around to writing the paper work required to officially fire Big Cheese,." Big Al's eyes narrowed.

"Why is that a problem? We could just do the paper work now."

The dog looked to the ground.

"The Princess's birthday is a few days away, to officially fire the Prime Minister you need to put it threw many channels, it would take weeks." Vi looked ready to explode.

"SO WHAT CAN WE DO!?" She demanded.

"Princess I'm afraid if you want to remain Princess you must get married." The Dog answered.

"YOU ARE SO SENT TO PRISONER'S ISLAND!" Vi yelled. Guards dragged the dog away. Big Al looked over the sheet.

"Princess I'm afraid he's right. I'd never heard of this law before, but of course King Fred was married before his 20th birthday, so this law must have been forgotten."

"Well then lets change it!" Vi demanded.

"Princess this law is concrete you can't change it was made by your ancestors. Princess I know this is wrong but you've got to be married by your birthday." Big AL says and pulled out a calendar. "Which is Wednesday, and today is Sunday!"

"Well I can't get married!" Vi yelled. She then suddenly looked happy and clasped her hands together. "Unless of course it was to that handsome crow with those wonderfully eyes." She then went into a declaration of how perfect Goodbird was. Big Al looked to the sky.

'So, if I don't convince Goodbird to marry the Princess then Big Cheese will become Emperor. Why did I take this job?' He thought to himself and sighed. This was going to be tuff.
