You have to admit, the ending was pretty neat. This is when we see the four teenagers' scheme in action. Review please!
Everyone sat at the table and washed their fingers in the washing bowl. Elliot sat beside King Jeremy since he was to be the advisor. Danny and Sam sat next to one another at the side of the table. The servants brought the dinners on a silver platter with a lid over it. They also cut up the meat to serve it to the people eating at the table.
Danny was partly thankful that Elliot could talk to King Jeremy and keep the plan foolproof, but nervous about his manners. If Elliot once was from the low class, he may have poor manner skills. Then again, the folks that adopted him may've taught him a thing or two. Despite this, Danny was nervous and bit his bottom lip until it stung.
"It's okay," Sam whispered before holding Danny's hand. "Elliot knows what he's doing."
Danny nodded and breathed out. Queen Pam took her first bit at the food before she started talking.
"So Danny, why don't you tell me a little about yourself?" Queen Pam offered.
"I was taught some of Aristotle's and Galileo's work..." Prince Danny replied with sweat dripping from the back of his neck. "I also take interest in reading."
"What do you read?"
"Poetry and some mythical stories from Greece."
"Wonderful!" Queen Pam smiled brightly before Danny nodded his head.
"Are you aware of the responsibilities of being a King, if you become one?" King Jeremy asked.
"Yes. Being a King, you must always put your people before yourself. It can be a hassle, especially if you're trying to keep the Surf's under control," Danny said.
"I'm trusting that you will take good care of my daughter from under your wing?"
"Of coarse."
Throughout the dinner, there were only short talks. Both kings and queens never spoke to one another except in simple conversations. It was only a moment of time before King Jeremy and Queen Pam left the castle toward home. Sam stayed behind since her and Danny were engaged to be married. Elliot and Paulina met the prince and princess in the forest and celebrated.
"That was great! Our parents never even mentioned about the wedding date," Danny grinned.
"And as long as they continue to be clueless, there is no way we'll end up being married to a random person," Sam agreed before her and Danny gave high fives.
Elliot and Paulina gave glances. They then, smiled at the two teenagers.
"How about tomorrow you guys set up a date and we'll meet you there?" Paulina suggested.
"Certainly!" Sam agreed.
"We'll walk through the maze," Danny said while pointing to the bush maze beside the castle.
"Perfect," Paulina grinned.
"We will meet you there," Elliot said before the four separated.
Danny and Sam walked back to the castle. Danny went into the library to read one of the mythical stories on the scroll. He kept rolling the scroll from up to down. Jazz came back and used her hand to lower the scroll. Danny glared at his sister.
"You made me loose my place!" Danny complained.
"Spill Danny. I want to know what you and your girlfriend are up to!" Jazz demanded. "There is no way you could've fallen in love right after Dad says he is to arrange you with someone."
"Who says it couldn't? That's what happened with Snow White."
"Spill!"
"Paranoid much?"
Jazz's eyebrows furrowed. Danny was not letting the plan be mentioned to his sister. For one thing, it was non of her business and there were already enough people involved. Danny continued reading where he left off. Jazz continued sitting across from her brother just watching him with those stubborn eyes. There was no way Jazz could get through to Danny and he was proud of it.
The next morning, Danny and Sam met their dates at the maze. They used the time for talking and socializing. The four kids enjoyed their company. They acted so much like a clique. There was no other unique group of friends. Danny enjoyed Elliot and Sam enjoyed Paulina.
"You know, we should have a double wedding when we get to that bridge. It'll be perfect," Elliot thought.
"I know. As long as my vale has roses," Paulina decided.
"We're fourteen and already talking about marriage. I just want to be a kid until I'm sixteen at least," Danny said.
"I don't know why. Mom always says that time goes by fast and when I get old, I won't be beautiful as I am now," Paulina thought.
"You know. I wish I could live on my own with no husband whatsoever," Sam glared. "I mean just because we're women doesn't make us property. Heck, I took care of myself pretty well while I was gone."
"Before you fell in the hole and sprained your ankle," Danny mentioned with a hint of teasing.
"It would be nice to be able to own property without a husband," Paulina smiled.
"Hey, we're the ones who allow you to own property," Danny said proudly.
"Yes, but it's the females that give birth to male children," Sam smirked.
"That maybe true, but you wouldn't be having children without the male."
"Oh, so you carry and give birth to children? I wonder how that is going to work?" Sam asked sarcastically before her and Paulina started laughing. Danny and Elliot were both plain annoyed.
"We love you," Paulina grinned before leaning her head against Danny's shoulder.
"I hear your sister is suspicious about us," Sam said.
"Don't worry about her, Sam. Jazz is usually paranoid. It'll pass soon, I promise," Danny promised before showing half-a-smile.
