The Lord and Lady of Everlot…a 'very Possible' story

Chapter 4

"It is my distinct pleasure," Larry announced, "to introduce to you, for the first time in public, the Lord and Lady of Everlot," and herald trumpet fanfares announced over the speakers as the entering twosome captured the stage with their presence.

Rufus wore a cloth version of his armor, gold-colored material covering his entire body. His feet were covered by gold-colored boots, and his helmet was a leather version, also gold-colored. The Lady wore a green and black dress, and her head was crowned by a tall, green-and-black cone-shaped hat with a white pennant flying from it.

"No way!" Ron exclaimed.

"Way," came from both Kim and Wade.

They entered, arm-in-arm. The room, initially silent, burst open with applause, whoops, and cheers as the couple made their way to center stage with Larry and Charlotte. Charlotte reached down, picked up Rufus, and kissed him on his cheek. Larry bowed, reached for the lady's hand, and kissed it.

"No hairballs," Wade whispered with a grin. Joss punched him as Rufus and Debutante took their seats on stage next to the computer terminals that were connected to voice synthesizers, that had been brought out for them to use. Debutante sat on Rufus's left, and Charlotte sat left of her, while Larry set up his chair to the right of Rufus.

"Hrk. Hello," Rufus grinned.

"Rufus, this is surprise and a pleasure," Larry started, and Rufus began to type.

"The pleasure's all mine, Larry," came from the speakers, surprising everyone.

"So, you and Debutante," Larry smiled, and Debutante's smile was big. Rufus' teeth were showing. "How did this happen?"

"Well," came from the speakers as Rufus attacked the keyboard, "It was on a Friday, and there was that mission where Ron left me in Greece," he began.

"It was an accident, alright?" Ron shouted, and Kim ducked her head as the audience laughed. "I apologized with four full wheels of cheese, what more could I do?" He had his hands up in a 'Why Me?" questioning mode.

"As I was saying, I was in Greece, and I looked out the window to see them leaving. I heard a whimper, and I saw Deb in the corner, crying. I only knew her from a couple of previous sitches," Rufus shuddered, and Debutante wrapped her tail around him in a gentle manner. That generated some chuckled from the audience.

"Anyway," Rufus continued, "I told her to come on, and we managed to get out of the room with the closed door and make our way to the airport. We ended up inside a plane cargo hold, then in the ocean, then inside a whale," and Rufus continued to describe their adventures in more detail, ultimately ending with "and made our way back to Go City in an Internet café. I sent Ron a note, telling him where I was, and I notice that Deb was doing the same to Camille.

"It just seemed a bit freaky that she was able to do the things that I could do, so I asked her, point-blank, about it. She got all defensive about it," Rufus grinned, and Debutante's tail went up behind Rufus and wagged a 'no, no, no' motion that made the audience laugh, "but she finally told me what had happened to her."

"What happened?" Charlotte asked.

"She got hit with the same brain machine that I did, even before I did, when Camille tried to steal it before it was moved and I got hit with it," Rufus smiled and reached over, petting Debutante's paw gently. A loud 'purrrrrrr' came over the speakers, and Debutante's tail pulled Rufus' chair even closer to her: Rufus' response was a big "GULP!" The audience's response was a big laugh.

"I was surprised to learn that she was the 'Lady of Everlot': that same lovely being in the Everlot world was the same being here that had considered me to be a snack, more than once," Rufus laughed, and Debutante's tail wrapped itself around Rufus once again and stroked his left arm. Rufus twitched once, then relaxed.

"We decided to play a prank on Ron and Camille," Rufus grinned, and Debutante grinned, as well, "when we shipped ourselves to the other's partner. Ron closed the cage with a slam, but Camille almost deafened me with her scream. Kim later told me that she and Ron used the scream to find me," Rufus finished, and Kim and Ron laughed along with the audience.

"I had wondered how Debutante ended up with us," Kim grinned, and Ron nodded.

"So, what's in the future for you two?" Charlotte grinned. "You're pretty lovey-dovey in the Everlot world."

"We're just really good friends," Rufus replied, and Debutante's tail came up with the negative tail-wagging.

"Something tells me-" Olivia started.

"Someone's in severe like-like mode," Hope finished, and the two young ladies exchanged fist bumps.

"Rufus," a deep-throated purr came over the speakers, and the crowd looked up at the stage in surprise.

"That's not the voice I set on the synthesizer," Wade looked surprised, and he stared at Felix.

:"Don't blame me, Wade," Felix interjected, and Monique shushed him with her mouth.

"Yes, Deb?"

"Baby, I'm cold," she continued, and the men in the crowd tried to remember the source of the sexy voice that they heard over the speakers.

"How 'bout we go and curl up in front of a big roaring fire?" Rufus asked, and Debutante jumped from her chair to the stage floor.

"Yummy, my electronic-knight savior," she replied with a purr, and Rufus grinned real big.

"See ya," Rufus typed, jumped from his chair to the floor, extended his arm, and the two left the stage to tumultuous applause.

"Well, that was a surprise," Charlotte smiled, and Larry nodded. "Got any more surprises, guy?" she asked with a twinkle of a smile.

Larry responded by pulling out the remote and clicking it: the beeps precluded the stage backdrop rising to reveal the back wall, and the large garage-style door in the wall lifted to reveal a white stallion, standing at the ready. He whinnied, and the audience laughed loud.

"You weren't kidding," Charlotte laughed, and the stallion walked onto the stage. Larry leapt from his chair and took a running start, landing on the back of the stallion with his coat flowing behind him. H grabbed the reigns, and the stallion went up in his hind legs for a moment.

Larry walked him over to Charlotte and held out his hand. Charlotte took it, and he pulled her up behind him in a single smooth effortless manner, landing her on horseback. She wrapped her arms around him, and Larry grinned, holding up his hand to silence the audience's cheers.

"That's a wrap, people. Have a good night and a safe trip home," he called, and he turned and trotted off the stage to applause, whistles, and cheers from a standing full house.

Kim and Ron waved goodnight to Jim, Tim, Hope, and Olivia as their carriage pulled away. Wade and Joss stood, holding each other, as theirs came up.

"What's next?" Ron asked, and Joss grinned as Wade helped her into their carriage before following her in, wrapping his arm around her and pulling her close.

"Ah'm thinkin' about some real fun snugglin' tonight, mahself," Joss laughed, and the crack of the whip started the twosome on their way.

"Have fun?" a voice above and behind him surprised Ron, and he turned to see a grinning Larry and a totally-happy Charlotte, her arms still wrapped around him.

"Had a surprise, and got some answers," Kim replied. "Looks like my cousin finally discovered girls," she chortled, and Charlotte nuzzled Larry's neck, generating more blood flow to Larry's face.

"You were right, Kim," Larry laughed. "Thanks, cousin, for having faith in me," and the horse whinnied in agreement, generating a chuckle from Ron as their carriage came up.

"Shall we go, KP?" Ron held out his hand, and Kim took it and stepped up into the carriage. Ron jumped in, closed the door, pulled Kim up next to him, and smiled.

"We are a pair of lucky ducks, Larry," Ron replied.

"We are, but so are they," Larry pointed across the road as a mother duck led a small group of ducklings across the grass and into the water where the father duck was swimming.

"Larry?" Charlotte purred, and Larry grinned even bigger.

"Yes, my dear?"

"I'm cold. Can you keep me warm?" She grinned, and Kim and Ron both laughed as Larry's face got even redder before he got a wicked grin on his face. He snapped the reigns, sending the stallion off in a gallop across the snow-covered parking lot and out onto the road.

"Somebody's getting lucky tonight," Ron observed. "Driver: let's head home," Ron called, the whip cracked, and their carriage began to pull away.

"I'm already lucky," Kim smiled, and Ron turned and caught a full-force Kimela kiss.

No more cliffies…awwwwwwwwwwwwww.

This is my entry for MrDrP's Valentine's Day contest…and there are only two new pairings for me. Yes, I know, I'm slacking off…blame the squirrels and pigeons outside my windows the last few days.

My thanks to the following: Sir Sebastian, Kwebs, Sentinel 103, TexasDad (threats notwithstanding… lol), Thomas Linquist, Silvermist, CajunBear73, Slyrr, Katsumara, Captain IT, whitem, Nikoagonistes, Lady Rhetorica, Sentinal103, jakt, and The Enduring Man-Child for their reads and reviews. And, thank you to all who have read.

And, thank you so very much to my betas, ja, kt, and Star_Eva01, for giving me more laughs with your comments and ideas. kt added the squirrels and bunnies: I think she was looking for BE4000 target practice.

Once again, my biggest 'thank you' has to go to The Enduring Man-Child who, to the best of my knowledge was the first writer to develop the Larry/Charlotte pairing in his story Larry's Obsession, Charlotte's Loss. The link is here: on : /s/3914212/1/Larrys_Obsession_Charlottes_Loss. Thank you, sir, for allowing me to beta this for you 'back in the day' and for planting this seed that would not go away….

Thanks for reading, and please review.
