Part Three

Finally, after many newspaper, radio and TV interviews, riots, strikes and protests, the third day finnaly came. Toadsworth was nervous to meet all the lucky winners, except for Queen Sarah because she was his neice, although he talked to her and she said she entered in thinking it would be a good thing for her Kingdom, but she didn't expect to win. But what do you know- she did. The king was especially nervous to meet the mysterious Milton brothers (There was clarification that they were indeed brothers, but Randy lived seperately).

Toadsworth had taken one of the castle limos with 12 seats in the back, one for him, ten for the winners, three for the buisness owners and one for the hot air baloon driver. There were various other limo's for the families and buisness employees. The limo went along to all the various houses, obviously taking a while because they lived all over the Mushroom Kingdom. The limo drove towards a small valley with a tiny village called Terriville. It was very small, and sequestered from all nearby cities and towns.

The limo pulled up to an apartment building where a MK-MOVERS truck was parked and Randy Milton with that same all-knowing and smug smile, climbed in the limo silently. The persistant newpaper reporters and for that matter, the entire media hadn't managed to get more than "I'm very happy to have won" from him. He sat alone in the back, saving a seat next to him. The limo pulled up to a small but pretty house, An old man walked out of it, and a girl who seemed to be the same age as Harvey walked out with him and Harvey himself. The old man and the girl got into a limo following Toadsworth's limo and Harvey, looking less nervous and more excited, stepped in. As quietly as his brother, he went to the back of the bus and sat, looking out the window as if saying goodbye to his hometown.

Toadsworth decided a good way to find out more about them was to... well, lie. "It is required that we ask a few questions of you all for... legal... purposes." He winked at Queen Sarah and she caught on, helping him. "Oh, yes." she said "You must tell us all- umm... How old you are, what your full names are, where you were born, and which family members you are bringing. I'll go first.

"My full name is Queen Sarah Clover Savie," (Savie is pronounced SAH vee ey) "I am 29 years old and I was born in, of course, the capital of Sugar Kingdom, Crystal Cove and I have lived there my whole life. I'm not bringing any of my family, as they must stay in the castle and besides- I'm only building a summer home there."

"Very good," said Toadsworth. "next... Brooke Saunders? Care to share with us?"

"Like, of course! My full name is Brooke Candie Saunders, I am 23 years old. I was born in Toad Town, and I am bringing my two sisters Penny and Tracey who are 20 and 26 respectively. We all live together and it is like, one big party! So yeah, like, thats me!"

"OK, good" said Toadsworth writing all of the info down. "OK, how about you now, Charlie is it?"

"Uh... yes." Said Charlie politely. "My name is Charlie Taylor, and umm I am 39. I was born in Sarasaland, and I moved to Toad Town when I was 22. I am bring with me my wife Jamie who is 38, and my two daughters, Jessie and Lauren who are 15 and 11"

"Oh, thats nice." Toadsworth looked up from his notebook. "How about you ... 'Dubba'?"

"Oh yes, that's me" said the fat man. "My name is Dubba McDerman, no middle name. I am 36 and I was born in Koopa Village. I am bringing my son Grubba, who is 9 and a half."

"Ok, Ok." Toadsworth said cheerfully. "OK- Hoggsworth Pinkleton? Tell us about you"

"Snort OK. My name is Hoggsworth Pinkleton, I am 44 and I was born in Twilight Town. Me and my family learned to live with our bacony curse. Although, I am a vegetarian now. I am taking my wife Prudy, and my son Harry who is 8."

"Oh, what a fun family then!" Toadsworth said. "Umm Armelle Harrison. What an exotic name!"

"Oh, thanks!" said a cheerful looking woman with a pretty sparkled white shirt, and a skirt and necklace of the same bright purple color. She had pretty features and long dark hair with bright green eyes and a bright smile. "My name is Armelle Sophia Harrison, and I am 19. I was born in Emerald City in the Crystal Kingdom. I moved here with my family when I was 14. I am bringing my boyfriend Sanji, but that's all."

"Very nice, very nice. OK, umm Tanya Peterson."

A tall koopa girl with brown hair spoke up. "Hey! That's me! I'm Tanya Peterson, I'm 28 and I'm from Koopa Village. I ain't bringin' nobody."

"Uh... right. Three more to go! Morgan Raleigh"

"Like, hi everyone!" A pretty girl with wavy brown-blonde hair and a pink blouse with capris yelled out in a valley-girl voice. "I'm Morgan, and I would just like to say I am like, SO psyched to be here y'know? and I want to thank-"

"Just tell us how old you are where you are from and who you're taking ok?"

"Oh fine. I'm 21, I'm from Poshley Heights and I'm not bringing anyone either."

"OK, thanks." Toadsworth looked inquiringly at the Milton Brothers. "Randy Milton?"

Randy gave a small wave and said in a deep, but quiet voice, "Randy Milton, 20, Terriville, no one. This is Harvey, he's 15 and he's bringing our gramps Travis and his twin sister Chloe."

Toadsworth wrote it all down. They had arrived in Rougueport at the hot air balloon area. They went and sailed off to the City in the Stars.
