Chapter 4 Bog King's Broken Heart
While Roland was courting Marianne as she was under the spell he casted back at Bog King's castle in the dark forest Bog King was in his room and looking in the mirror. As he looked in the mirror, Bog King was trying to say the right words, "Ok here goes Marianne I love you so much and there is something I've been wanting to ask you." Before Bog King was able to finish what he was saying he heard a knock on his door. "Come in" said the Bog King who was frustrated that he couldn't finish practicing what he was trying to say. His mother Griselda walked inside his room and said, "Son lunch is ready." "I'll be down soon mother, I'm in the middle of something important" the Bog King said to his mother. Griselda wondered what her son was up to when she saw a ring in her son's hands. "Is that what I think it is?" Griselda exclaimed with a huge smile on her face. "Yes mother it is. I'm going to ask Marianne to marry me. Do you think she'll say yes? I'm so nervous about asking for her hand" Bog told his mother.
Griselda took Bog by the hand and said to Bog, "My darling boy when your father asked me to marry him he was so nervous that he couldn't get out the right words and started to sweat a lot. His hands became sweaty and gross that he dropped the ring he gave me on the floor. It wasn't until I got a good look at it and realized what he wanted to ask and of course I said yes. The night your father asked me for my hand in marriage was one of the best nights of my life besides our wedding and the honeymoon." Bog knew what his mother meant when she mentioned her honeymoon with his father and requested that his mother doesn't tell that story since he already heard it when he was younger with too much details. "So when do you think I should ask her?" Bog asked his mother as she replied, "Go now and ask her that way I can help you plan the wedding as soon as you get back telling me that my future daughter in law said yes."
Bog was about to say something when Griselda pushed him out the door and handed him the ring he wanted to give to Marianne. Bog then flew off to the fairy kingdom heading for the palace. "It's a good thing that I stood inside while it was raining. I would have hated to be soaking wet while asking the love of my life to marry me" The Bog King thought to himself as he saw Marianne in the palace garden filling up a basket of flowers. Bog smiled as he flew and landed next to Marianne who was startled. "I didn't mean to startle you Marianne. I just wanted to surprise you" said the Bog King as he approached Marianne. "It's ok but what are you doing here? Is my father expecting you for a royal meeting? I should let you know he is away on royal business and will be back in a few short days so if there is anything you need just let me know" Marianne said to Bog. "My dear there is no need to be formal. We've known each other for quite some time and we've been seeing each other" said the Bog King. Marianne had a confused look on her face and wondered what the Bog King meant when he said they've been seeing each other. Before Marianne could say anything else Bog took Marianne by the hand and attempted to kiss her. Roland saw what was happening and flew to Marianne's side. "What are you doing to my fiance?" Roland asked angrily as Marianne ran over to Roland. The Bog King was confused and said, "Your fiance? She's my girlfriend! Marianne and I have been a couple ever since…" Marianne cut him off in mid sentence and said, "You must be mistaken. I'm Roland's fiance. I've never been your girlfriend and I plan on marrying my wonderful husband to be when my father returns." "Why wait until he comes home? How about we get married before your father returns home and surprise him? Who knows maybe your father will plan a ball in honor of our marriage. What do you say?" suggested Roland. "Don't you think it would be a bit of a rush? I want our wedding to be perfect" Marianne pointed out. "Our wedding will be perfect with you as my bride," said Roland, making Marianne blush and kiss Roland.
Bog was speechless at not only what Marianne said to him about not being his girlfriend but saying that she was Roland's fiance and kissed Roland right in front of him. "Marianne you got to be kidding me. Are you really going to marry this guy after what he did to you and how can you say that you and I were never a couple?" questioned Bog. "Because I would have recalled being the girlfriend of the Bog King. Look find somebody else. I'm sure there is a girl out there for you so go home" answered Marianne and without giving it a second thought Bog flew away angry and with tears in his eyes thinking, "How could Marianne do this to me?" When Bog got back to his castle his mother was the first to greet him and there was a banner saying congratulations on your engagement in big letters. Bog got upset at the site of the banner that he went up to it and ripped it before going to his room.
Griselda wasn't happy at what her son did and went to his room to demand why he ripped up the banner and stormed away angrily. "Son what's wrong? Why did you rip up the banner? Also what happened when you went to see Marianne?" Griselda questioned as she banged on her son's bedroom door. "GO AWAY I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT!" shouted Bog from behind the door. "I'm not leaving until you tell me what happened," Griselda demanded as she continued to bang on Bog's door. Bog knew his mother wouldn't give up since she was always determined. Bog opened the door to let his mother in and told her everything that happened. Griselda became both shocked and upset at what her son told her. "This can't be true. How can Marianne say and do that to you after what the two of you have been through?!" exclaimed Griselda as she became just as upset as her son. "I don't know mother, I just don't know" Bog cried as his mother held her son trying to comfort him.
Later that day when Marianne was smiling and dancing around the throne room her sister Dawn and Sunny came in. "Wow somebody's in a good mood" Dawn pointed out as Sunny agreed. "You better believe I'm in a good mood. I'm going to be married soon to the love of my life and I want you as my maid of honor" smiled Marianne. Dawn smiled and said, "Of course I'll be your maid of honor. I'm so happy for you." Marianne was happy to hear that her sister agreed to be her maid of honor and was happy about her being engaged. "So Dawn tell me where have you and Sunny been? I was worried that you two got caught in the rain" Marianne pointed out. "Don't worry Dawn and I were at my place before it started raining and we watched the rain from the window while drinking hot tea and cuddling together" said Sunny with a smile as Dawn hugged him. "Awwww isn't that sweet? Darling why don't you tell them when we're having the wedding" said Roland as he came into the room and twirled Marianne around the floor. Both Dawn and Sunny were shocked to see Roland and were even more shocked to find out that Roland is Marianne's finance once again and were going to be wedded. "Are you serious?! You two are getting MARRIED!?" Both Sunny and Dawn asked in shock. "Of course we are you two silly billys. We're having the wedding in three days before dad comes home. Roland thought it would be a fun surprise for dad to come home to a wedding hopefully in time to walk me down the aisle" replied Marianne.
Both Sunny and Dawn couldn't believe what they just heard and wondered why is Marianne marrying Roland instead of the Bog King? "My Marianne, nothing could make me forget about the love we have for each other" declared Roland. "Same here" replied Marianne as the two of them started kissing. Sunny thought about what Roland said about nothing making him forget about Marianne and something came to mind. "Dawn can you come with me to help with something?" Sunny requested. "Sure Sunny" answered Dawn as she and Sunny left the throne room together and talked in private in another room. "This can't be right. My big sister who wanted nothing to do with Roland after what he did is marrying that cheating fool who only loves himself and the idea of being king. I always believed Marianne and Bog would get married and live happily ever after. How can she just do that to Bog?" Dawn pointed out as she was ranting on. "I agree with you Dawn and I think the sugar plum fairy might be able to help us. Come on we got to go see her right away" said Sunny as he and Dawn left the palace once again to go see the sugar plum fairy.
