Part Two
...
"We dress up like servants, then demand to see the prince and princess. That'll work," Eva said sarcastically. "Nice idea, genius."
"Okay, there are a couple of problems, but I'll work out the kinks," Trent reassured her.
"You better," Eva growled. Trent cowered.
"I am. I will," Trent took out a sheet of paper and began scribbling ideas.
...
"Wait, why do we have to dress up like peasants?" Lindsay asked.
"We're going to see Trent, remember?" DJ replied gently.
"But he won't recognize us like this," Lindsay said.
"Lindsay... Trent's the prince of Wawanakwa," DJ sighed.
Lindsay gasped, "Daddy said we couldn't go there!"
"I know," DJ put his hands on her shoulders. "We're going to break a rule, okay?"
"Okay," Lindsay nodded unsurely. "But why do we have to dress up like peasants?"
...
"If this doesn't work out..." Eva eyed her brother angrily. The two of them were clad in Torontan garb to blend in with the average populace.
"It will, don't say that," Trent said calmly.
"Mr. White," a page approached Trent. "The king and queen are ready to see you."
"Great," Trent took in a deep breath. He entered the throne room with Eva behind him.
"Hello!" Queen Martha greeted. "Are you two the pearl merchants?"
"Yes, yes we are," Trent answered. He pulled out a sack. "I'm Mr. White, and this is my sister, Pearl. We have the finest selection of pearls in the region for the most reasonable prices."
"And these are all real pearls?" King Hatchet raised his unibrow.
"Of course!" 'Pearl' added.
"Wonderful! Let's see some pearls!" Queen Martha said giddily.
"Wait... Wouldn't the princess wish to see some of these?" 'Mr. White' asked.
"I'm sure she would," King Hatchet responded. "But she's out of town with her brother."
"..." Trent and Eva inwardly groaned.
"What are you waiting for? Let's see those shiny pearls!"
...
"King Chris and Queen Lena, I assume?" DJ bowed. Lindsay curtsied.
"You're the diamond merchant?" Chris asked.
"Let me do the talking, Lindsay," DJ whispered to his sister.
"Yes, of course!" DJ answered. He motioned to Lindsay, who was wearing pounds of diamonds on her. "These are the best diamonds you will ever find," DJ bragged.
"They are," Lindsay added.
"Say..." DJ started. "Wouldn't you like to bring out your daughter to see this? Perhaps your son?"
"Nah," Queen Lena shook her head. "Eva's not interested in this stuff."
"What about Trent?" Lindsay blurted. She coughed, "I mean, perhaps Prince Trent would like to look at these for a prospective wife, maybe..."
"He would," Queen Lena said to King Chris.
"The prince is out of town," King Chris told the siblings. "The princess too."
Lindsay and DJ's hearts sank, hearing this.
"What about those diamonds? How much are they?" Lena pointed to the second strand on Lindsay's neck.
...
"Great! That was the worst waste of time I've ever wasted!" Eva yelled.
"Sis, calm down," Trent told her.
"Grr..." Eva glared.
"Look, I didn't see Lindsay either. We'll find 'em. I promise," Trent vowed.
"Aren't you the same guy who said that our pearl scheme would work to?"
"I-" Trent was interrupted by the horse carriage coming to a screeching halt.
...
"Aww," Lindsay cried. "We're not going to find him!"
"Don't cry, Lindsay," DJ comforted. "We'll find those two."
Lindsay smiled weakly, "Okay, AJ."
"Good," DJ replied. "And it's DJ-" DJ was cut off by the horse carriage stopping.
"Should we check it out?" Lindsay stuck her head outside the window.
"Yeah," DJ stepped off the carriage, then helped Lindsay down.
...
"Stupid horse carriage!" Eva growled.
"Sis, cool down," Trent stepped off the carriage to look around at the damage.
Trent rubbed his eyes. Could it be... Princess Lindsay?
"Stop staring, it's rude," Eva smacked Trent upside the head.
Lindsay and DJ heard voices, so they turned around.
Lindsay's eyes widened, "Brent!" she exclaimed happily.
"Lindsay?" Trent said hopefully.
"Oh my gosh! It's you!" Lindsay cried as she rushed into his arms. Trent embraced her, then kissed her.
"Don't they make a cute couple?" DJ asked Eva.
"Yeah, they do, don't they?" Eva replied. She looked up at DJ. She bit her lip, then grabbed him and brought him down for a kiss.
When she finally pulled back, DJ asked her, "What was that for?"
"I kinda like you," Eva punched DJ in the arm.
Trent got down on one knee, "Lindsay, will you marry me?"
"Troy! I'd love to!" Lindsay kissed him as he slipped the ring onto her finger.
"One prob, there Romeo," Eva broke up the kiss. "Our kingdoms hate each other. ...And where'd you get the ring?"
"Oh, yeah..." Lindsay said.
Trent's eyes widened, "Exactly! If we get married, they can't do anything! In fact, the two kingdoms will be forced to cooperate lift the embargo on one another. ...And I got the ring from all the pearl jewelry we had."
"Wow," Eva said. "You aren't as dumb as you look... That's actually a good plan."
"Maybe if we had another couple in on this..." Trent hinted.
"You want us to get married to prove a point?" Eva asked her brother, her eyes glaring a hole through him.
"No! I mean, if you want to. We'll leave you alone now," Trent left, Lindsay behind him.
"Your sister Ava's really scary," Lindsay told Trent.
"I know... I grew up with her," Trent laughed.
"I can't wait to get married," Lindsay giggled.
"Me neither," Trent held her hand.
"When do you think we'll be able to?" Lindsay asked.
"As soon as we find a friar," Trent leaned in to kiss her.
...
"So... Do you?" DJ asked her, shaking.
"What? You're not gonna get down on one knee?" Eva asked.
DJ did as she asked and pulled out some diamond jewelry from his pocket, "Eva, will you marry me?" he asked, cringing.
"Yes, I would love to," Eva grinned as he slipped a diamond ring on her finger. "What are you scared about?" Eva asked him.
"I thought you were gonna beat me up," DJ got up.
"You're such a pansy," Eva smirked.
...
"Well, our carriage's damaged. I don't think it'll make it back to Wawanakwa," Trent commented. "Don't you think it's funny how we were looking for each other, then literally bumped into one another?" Trent asked Lindsay. She giggled.
"Har har," Eva laughed dryly.
"Is that a friar?" DJ asked as he pointed to a man in the distance.
"Oh my gosh, CJ! It is!" Lindsay squealed.
"CJ?" Eva raised her unibrow.
DJ shook his head, "I'll explain later..."
Trent, Lindsay, DJ and Eva chased after the friar.
"Will you freaks leave me alone? I'm trying to read," the friar groaned.
"Will you marry us, Father?" Lindsay asked him.
"I'm a friar. As in eternal celibacy. I can't marry anyone. And if I could, I certainly wouldn't marry you four," he responded. "And its Father Noah to you."
Trent sighed, "We mean, that Lindsay I want to get married. So do Eva and DJ. Will you conduct the ceremony?"
"Oh, why didn't you say so?" Father Noah asked. He pulled out a book from his rucksack.
"Do you..." Father Noah looked at Trent.
"Trent Maclean," Trent filled in.
"Do you, Trent Maclean, take..." Father Noah looked at Lindsay.
"Lindsay Hatchet."
"Do you, Trent Maclean, take Lindsay Hatchet to be your lawfully wedded wife?"
"I do."
"And do you, Lindsay Hatchet take Trent Maclean to be your lawfully wedded husband?"
"I do."
"For richer or poorer, blah blah blah blah. I now pronounce you man and wife. Kiss the bride."
Trent kissed Lindsay.
Father Noah looked at Eva and DJ.
"Do you.." he started.
"Eva Maclean and DJ Hatchet."
"Do you Eva Maclean take DJ Hatchet to be your-"
"Come on! I don't have all day!" Eva said impatiently.
"Whatever," Father Noah rolled his eyes. "By the power vested in me, yadda yadda blah blah, kiss the bride."
DJ kissed Eva.
"Can I go now?" Father Noah asked, bored.
"No," Eva growled. "You're coming with us!"
"Why?" Father Noah asked.
"To prove that we're married, of course! No one would believe us, otherwise."
"Whatever."
...
"Father," DJ started. "Lindsay and I have wed two wonderful people of royal descent... No, no, no!" DJ cried. "Scrap that."
Father Noah balled up the paper and tossed it into the pile of other wadded up paper balls.
"Dad... I want you to know that Lindsay married a Wawanakwan Prince and I married a Wawanakwan Princess. I know you hate them, but we're asking you to set aside your differences for the love between us. We'll be in Wawanakwa, come by to see us if you still consider the two of us your children..." DJ finished.
Noah wrote down what DJ said word for word with a fancy quill pen and folded up the letter. "Here ya go. Can I go now?"
...
"WHAT!" King Chris yelled as he read a letter.
"What is it?" Queen Lena asked.
"Read this! Just read this! See what your crazy children have done! They've-" Queen Lena took the letter from him and scanned it.
"Aww," she cooed.
"You think it's cute?" King Chris exclaimed.
...
"WHAT!" King Hatchet cried as he wadded up a letter.
"Sammy... What happened?" Queen Martha asked.
"We're going to Wawanakwa. Now!" King Hatchet exclaimed.
...
"How much trouble do you think we're in?" Trent asked Lindsay.
"Lots!" she answered.
"But it's all worth it for you," Trent told her.
"You too," Lindsay blushed.
"How touching," Father Noah said sourly.
...
"Is that..." King Chris started. "It's those diamond peddler. You married diamond peddlers!" he exclaimed.
"You had your father worried! He thought you married some Torontans!" the queen told her children.
"We kinda did..." Trent said awkwardly as he began to tell their story.
...
"And that's why we're standing right here-" Eva said as the doors to the throne room slammed open.
"CHRIS MACLEAN! YOU SHAMELESS BASTARD!" King Hatchet screamed.
"Samuel Hatchet..." King Chris growled. "What the hell are you doing in my castle!"
"Your kids eloped with mine! What the hell did you brainwash your children with?" King Hatchet yelled.
"Your frickin' kids-" Queen Lena put a hand on King Chris's shoulder.
"Chris, no need to be mean..." she gently chided.
"Mean? I'll show that mothaf-" Queen Lena clamped her hand over his mouth, "-er mean!"
"What's done is done," Queen Martha started.
"Yeah," Queen Lena added. "We might as well live with it."
"B-B-But what about our eternal hatred?" King Chris whined.
"You'll just have to get over it," Queen Lena replied.
"Aww!" King Hatchet cried.
"You two are a bunch of babies," Father Noah scoffed.
"And who are you?" King Chris asked.
"Father Noah. I'm a friar. You can't hurt me, sorry," he shrugged.
King Chris sighed, "Bygones?"
"Bygones," King Hatchet replied.
"Does that mean we get a happily ever after?" Lindsay asked hopefully.
"Yup," Trent wrapped his arm around her.
And they all lived happily ever after. Even Father Noah.

That was lotsa fun! Please review! ^_^
