Chapter 6: Stop the presses!

Author's note: Hello my readers, sorry the updating took so long, I was busy with my summer internship. Never the less, I don't like to keep my faithful readers waiting so here is a short chapter to keep the plot moving. Hope you like it.

Last time we saw Yzma, she was being hauled away by the guards. Well, they landed her in the smelliest, nastiest, and most rotten dungeon in the entire kingdom! One day as she was moping around in her cell, a paper came flying through her cell window.

"Huh? What's this?" she said as she picked up the paper. "Kuzco: The most selfish emperor in the world. If he doesn't want children, he won't want you." Yzma said as she read the title of the page aloud to herself. Soon, she heard voices.

"Guaca, how could you lose this article? Now Kuzco is going to kill me!" one of the voices said.

"Malina, Kuzco won't kill you. What if he already knows?"

"Are you crazy?! If Kuzco ever found out about this, our marriage would be over!" Malina said.

Yzma's frown turned into a devious grin.

"If I can't take the throne away from Kuzco, I'll take away the next best thing: Malina. BWHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

"Hey lady, could you keep it down? We already heard your crazy plans to stop Kuzco, just give it a rest!" one of the inmates said.

"Oh shut up you! This plan is absolutely BRRRILLIANT! AHAHAHAHAHA!"

BACK UP IN THE PALACE...

Guaca and Malina were off trying to find the article that Guaca published.

"I'm so sorry Malina, I didn't mean for all this to happen. I meant to delete it but-"

"You couldn't let it go huh? You had to go and publish the article!" Malina said in an aggravated tone.

"I didn't mean to, it was an accident!"

"What, did one of our maids come in and bump into you, causing you to click publish instead of delete?"

"Yes that's exactly what happened!" Guaca said as he couldn't believe that Malina figured it out.

"Oh please Guaca, you expect me to believe that?"

"But it's true!"

"Whatever. Look, as long as Kuzco doesn't find out about it, it's all good for now."

"Hey my smoochie pot pie!" Kuzco said as he walked up and hugged Malina.

"Hi honey!" Malina said in a nervous tone.

"What's Guaca doing here?" Kuzco asked.

"He was just leaving. Weren't you Guaca?" Malina said with a nervous laugh.

"I wasn't going to-" Guaca's sentence was cut short because Malina kicked him, making him fly out of the room.

"Wow. That was weird. Anyway, what's new for the Kuzconian Times?" Kuzco asked.

"Oh uh, why do you ask?" Malina said as her heart raced.

"Well, the paper hasn't come in for a while, and people love news!" Kuzco said with a smile.

"Oh, well, uh-"

"Malina, is there something you want to tell me?"

"No, what made you say that?"

"Are you sure? Nothing about me being a selfish emperor who doesn't want kids?"

"What?! Why would I write something like that?" Malina said trying so hard to cover her tracks.

"Oh, so you wouldn't write this!" Kuzco said as he held up the article in front of Malina's face.

Malina could have fainted. She was shaking harder than a leaf blowing in the harsh wind.

"Huh Malina? Can you give me an answer?!" Kuzco yelled.

"H-how did you find out?" she asked.

"Malina, of course I found out, I'm YZMA!" she said as she pulled off a Kuzco mask. "I have more where this came from!" she said as a delivery truck came with cases and cases full of Malina's articles.

"You won't get away with this!" Malina said.

"I already have! And I have a special place for you!" Yzma said as she tied Malina up and threw her off a cliff.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Malina yelled as she went falling to her death.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kuzco yelled as he woke up breathing heavily.

Malina turned on the lights and patted Kuzco's back.

"Kuzco, Kuzco! Breathe!" she yelled as she tried to calm him down. "What happened?"

"I had a terrible dream that you were still mad at me about what I said yesterday about not wanting kids. You wrote a whole article about it and then Yzma got out of jail and threw you off a cliff!" Kuzco said as he began to breathe heavily again.

"Kuzco calm down. I'm not mad at you anymore. I get it, you are nervous about becoming a father and I can understand that. I would never write an article about that, especially about our personal lives. As for Yzma, she's still locked up tight in the dungeon, never to return for a long time."

"Yeah I guess you're right."

"Yes. Now go back to sleep. Everything is okay." Malina said as she kissed him.

"Whew! At least Guaca didn't press print!" Kuzco said as he laughed.

"Good one sir!" Guaca said as he was lying in the bed with Kuzco.

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Kuzco yelled as he woke up on his throne.

"I need to stop falling asleep in here." Kuzco said.

"Yeah you should." Malina said as she stood right behind him.

"You'll never believe the dream I just had." Kuzco said.

"Yeah the article, Yzma, and Guaca in the bed. You've been having the same nightmare every night for the past few days."

"Really?"

"Yes Kuzco, you sit on your throne, fall asleep, and then you tell me about your crazy dream."

"Wow. I need to stop eating that delicious cheese that you keep in the fridge."

"Kuzco, that's moldy cheese. I've kept it in the fridge for some dumb bet that me and Yatta made about aging cheese."

"Wait, so you're saying that, that cheese is rotten?!"

"Yes. You didn't eat all of it did you?"

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Kuzco yelled.
