They walked into a huge, castle-like building where two male Tetramands blocked them. "Drop your weapons now." The caped Tetramand said walking forward. "My castle is secure enough where you won't be needing them."

"Are you some sort of king or something?" Lance asked looking around.

"Yes, I'm the king of Khoros. The guards will show you to your rooms. I'm sure that you'll want to be cleaned up before dinner." He walked off leaving the boys in the hands of the guards.

Aaron reluctantly pulled out his blaster and handed it to one of the guards. He motioned for him to follow while the other escorted Lance away. They walked down a hall before stopping at a door. "Your room. Also, I have been notified that your ship has been dropped off. The palace mechanic will perform routine maintenance for you. Clean yourself up and open the door. I will take you down for dinner." He walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.

Aaron walked into the bathroom and got undressed. The shower was a bit larger being made for Tetramands. He stepped inside letting the water wash over him as he cleaned himself off. There was some dirt on him and his clothing from the Jeep ride. Aaron stepped out of the shower and wrapped himself in a towel. He saw that his clothes were gone. He sighed walking out of the bathroom with just a towel around his waist. Sitting on the bed was a black t-shirt with gold trim around the sleeves and collar as well as gold lining near his ribs. It reminded him of an athletic t-shirt. The pants had a similar design to them.

"I'm ready." Aaron said opening the door. The guard nodded his head leading him out of the room and down a flight of stairs. They walked into a dining hall where Lance was just sitting down. The king smiled motioning to a seat next to Lance who was wearing the same outfit.

"Sorry about the wardrobe change. I just think that you two should be looking your best."

"Thanks, looks great." Lance said smiling.

"That's their intent. Plus your other clothes were a bit dirty." The woman at the table said smiling.

"Who's the other place setting for?" Aaron said motioning to an empty seat.

"Just a little mistake in plans." The king snapped his fingers watching someone take the plate away. His wife put her hand on his while he let out a small sigh. "Let's eat." He said perking up a little as chefs began carrying in plates of food and setting them on the table. "Help yourselves. There's plenty to go around."

"So boys, tell us about yourselves." The queen said sipping from a goblet.

"Aaron, I'm part Necrofriggian." Aaron said before returning to his food.

"Lance, part Vladat." Lance said raising his hand slightly.

"Family life?" The king asked.

"Um, we both kind of left after we turned eighteen." Lance said looking over to Aaron.

"I look out for myself, and Lance takes care of himself."

"Girlfriends?" The queen asked. Both boys shook their heads.

After the table was cleared, the king motioned to one of the guards who walked out of the room. He came back and handed Aaron a holster containing his blaster. "That is a gift on my part." Aaron strapped the gun around his waist while the king folded his hands. "I have to admit that I brought you boys with certain intentions in mind. My daughter, Princess Looma has been mourning over the loss of her former lover, Kevin Levin, and her more recent one, Benjamin Tennyson. She has taken a liking to human males."

"Nope." Aaron stood up only to be pushed down by one of the guards.

"Look, after the last few incidents, it has become apparent that Tetramand mating rituals do not work on human males. While I have the need to maintain Tetramand customs, I also have to worry about my daughter's happiness. I have my hands tied on this one, and I have no other choice but to allow her to take up the Earth custom of dating."

"When my husband saw you two, he thought that maybe you would talk to our daughter. Maybe 'date' her." The female Tetramand said making air quotes with her hands.

"I'm not doing that." Aaron crossed his arms.

"Same here." Lance said.

"I hate to say it, but I can not be asking you to do this. I'm commanding you to."

"Not doing it." Aaron said putting his hands up as he was restrained by several guards who cuffed him and led him from the room.

"I'm with him." Lance said standing up.

"Lance, I thought that you would be smarter than this." The king stood up while the guards cuffed him. "You would live in luxury with my daughter. You would be like a son to me. Also, I have to warn you that Plumbers don't come around here. Here, we govern ourselves and anyone on our planet."

"I'm with him." Lance said as he was taken away by the guards.

"I'm going to go talk with our daughter." The king said standing up and walking off.

"Looma, I'm coming in." He opened the door to his daughter's room and took a seat on the edge of the bed. "How are you feeling my princess?"

"I did some training today. I broke a lot of targets and hurt a lot of guards." She sighed sitting up in her bed.

"Whatever makes you feel better." He smiled hugging his daughter. "I have some good news. I have some human males in the dungeon. Would you like to meet them?"

Looma perked up a little bit. "Tomorrow."

"Yes, my dear. I'll see you then." He walked out of the room closing the door behind him.

"Maybe there is one who is better than Tennyson." She got out of her bed and looked out the window. She smiled a little bit punching a bag with Ben's face painted on it. "I suppose I'll find out tomorrow." She walked into the hall and motioned to one of the guards. "Are the males attractive?"

"I have no opinions." The male guard said walking off. Looma sighed returning to her room. She opened her closet and began going through the outfits inside.

"I wonder which one they will like more." She smiled a little bit to herself holding an outfit up to the mirror.
