Lalalala.Sorry about the lack of updates and yeah.Alias is not mine. So there. I said it. Recess isn't mine either. And yeah. Review. Please. And I do own King Romeo. But nothing else.Except maybe the plot, but even that is a little contrived. And look! A pun! I own that.

Chapter Twenty-two: Where For Art Thou, Romeo?

A kid running up to the window stopped us. He screamed.

Kid Wearing Overalls: Hey, King Bob got Mono. They're having a crowning of the new king, Romeo. He's making a speech to us right now.

TJ looked back at me.

TJ: I'm really sorry. We have to go.

I undid the handcuffs and Spinelli and TJ bolted out the window. The others followed. I myself jumped out and looked at what was happening.

King Romeo: Children of the Playground! I have some announcements to make! This is going to be a bit different from King Bob's rule. There will be more rules, and each and every one will be enforced. If you fail to comply with these rules, consequences will occur. I will detail these soon.

TJ, Spinelli, and the rest of the gang ran up, panting.

King Romeo: Oh, nice of you to join us. I've heard of you before. You are the famous TJ Detweiler, no? And just who is that seductive siren by your right side, TJ?

Spinelli narrowed her eyes. TJ looked helplessly at Spinelli. She shook her head.

King Romeo: Oh, so you won't tell me the name of this vivacious vixen? Well, I'll find out myself. Randall! What's her name?

Randall: Spinelli, Ashley Spinelli.

Spinelli tried maintaining her composure.

King Romeo: Well, that's nice. I will now go over my rules. First of all, the game Spin the Bottle is mandatory. You must play it when you are asked to. You also must kiss whomever the bottle lands on. Also, no male and female may be interacting unless it is in a romantic manner. Lastly, if you like someone, you must tell him or her.

Spinelli snorted.

Spinelli: How are you going to enforce that? You can't prove that anyone likes anybody. That's not fair!

King Romeo: Oh, really? Who do you like, Ashley?

Spinelli: My name is not Ashley. If you call me Ashley, you are either extremely idiotic, demented, or having a death wish. If you call me that, I will kick your butt. It doesn't matter if you're the King of Asia, I will still kick your keister if you do that. Got it? And I like no one in the whole school, so don't even try.

King Romeo: Suure. Well, you'd better kiss those friends of yours goodbye. You aren't going to be seeing them for a while, Ashley.

Spinelli: That's it! I'm not letting you treat me like I whomp! I'm beatin' you up now!

King Romeo: Sure. Riight. That's totally happening.

Spinelli: I tried to warn you.

And so, Spinelli jumped up there and kicked him where it hurt. She punched him in the gut and face and slid down off the side.

King Romeo: Go! Guards, separate the boys and girls!

The guards did so. They pushed the girls to one side and the guys to another. They drew a chalk line in between the two sides and guarded it. Spinelli stood up and climbed up to see the King. She promised Gretchen that she'd be back.

Spinelli: Let's just hope that this'll work. And that I won't have to kiss him. Maybe if I pull this off, I can be a spy.

I was very proud of her then and crept closer to the "castle". Spinelli walked up to the top, trying to be seductive. And it was actually working! She threw me her jacket, hair ties, and hat. I winked at her and wished her luck. She was reminding me of what I do on missions. This made me giggle.

She walked up there, with a pouty expression on her face. She saw TJ and winked. He winked back and nodded. Everyone, it seemed, knew what she was going to do. Except, of course, for Romeo. Romeo smirked.

King Romeo: Seen the light, Ashley?

Spinelli forced a smile.

Spinelli: You could say so. But, I'm merely human. And all humans succumb to things. In my case, it's your charm.

I smiled. She was doing well.

King Romeo: Uh. Wow. What exactly do you, uh, find attractive about me?

Spinelli smiled. She obviously had him right where she wanted him.

Spinelli: Oh, everything. You're just so attractive. And, I think.I like you.

Spinelli was steadily moving closer to Romeo.

King Romeo: Um. I like you too, Spinelli.

Spinelli: Really? That's.great.

King Romeo: Yeah.

Romeo swallowed. She was flustering him. She knew what she was doing. The question was how. She was a fourth grader! She was close enough to kiss him. He was sweating and his heart was beating fast. He leaned up to kiss her, but at the last second, she moved away.

Spinelli: Not so fast. I want to see my friends. All together. And not romantically. I want to play a game of four square or kick ball.

Romeo straightened up.

King Romeo: Ladies don't play sports.

Spinelli leaned in.

Spinelli: Well, this one does. Got it? Heck, I even play football.

Romeo gasped.

King Romeo: You can't!

Spinelli: I can and I will. Now, I want to see all of my friends. I want to play with said friends. And, I want everyone else to be able to play with his or her friends.

King Romeo: That's too much to ask for.

Spinelli: Oh, well. I guess that's no action for you, Mister.

Romeo broke down and sighed.

King Romeo: Alright! You can do it.

Spinelli paused at the door. She smiled a sultry smile and left. She climbed down and I gave her her stuff. She told me to hold it for now. She ran and grabbed Gretchen and pulled her to the boys' side. She grabbed TJ and hugged him. Vince looked like he was expecting a hug too, but she shook his hand instead. TJ was quick to point out that she liked Vince, but she shook her head. TJ was one of those people, who when they saw Harry Potter, thought that she liked Ron because she didn't hug him. Suure. Riight. That's happening any time now.
