Chapter 5: I Wanna Know You
Septimus, Beetle and Jenna's travel to the Palace was an awkward one- at least for Beetle and Jenna. Jenna kept touching the pendant that Beetle gave her and Beetle was looking at Jenna weirdly the whole time, he liked Jenna, and now he was wondering whether Jenna liked him back. Septimus, on the other hand, was enjoying this walk to the Palace. He enjoyed watching the two together, he thought it was cute. They were entering the Palace when Alther spot them. It was time to start the plan already. He called them over.
"Hello Septimus, Jenna and Beetle! How are things today, Septimus? Any luck?" Alther said mysteriously at Septimus.
"Things are running smoothly-" Septimus said before Beetle interrupted him.
"You know my name?" Beetle said looking at Alther surprised.
"Of course! Jenna here won't stop talking about you!" Alther said winking at Septimus. "Whenever you're not around she talks about you non-stop!"
"Uncle Alther!" Jenna said blushing, "Beetle, I'm sorry, I don't know what they are saying! Beetle? Beetle?"
Beetle was not answering, inside he was jumping with joy. He was also a bit embarassed by it. He then noticed that he looked stupid looking at nothing. He decided to answer Jenna. He opened his mouth but all that came out was a strange sound that sounded like a baby crying.
"Are you okay, Beetle?" Jenna asked worried.
"Jenna, I think Beetle needs to sit down. Why not bring him to the Queen's room?" Alther asked Jenna.
"But, Alther, I thought it wasn't allowed." Jenna was surprised at what Alther said.
"No worries, Jenna. Just bring Beetle with you. But not Septimus- Sarah would like to speak with you."
"Okay- go ahead. I'll catch up." Septimus said smiling at them. Jenna looked at him angrily, while Beetle looked at him desperately.
And of they went to the Queen's room together. When Alther and Septimus were safe from being heard by the two, they spoke.
"So, everything is ready?" asked Septimus hopefully.
"Yes. Queen Cerys is there, waiting for them to arrive."
"Perfect." Septimus said happily watching them go to the Palace.
