Junior High Dazzleball Practice Part 3

"Suit yourself then." Dorrie said to Dorrie Lucinda.

Soon enough, Dorrie arrived at Enchancia Square Garden with Dorrie Lucinda at her side, Dorrie popped a few colored candy-coated chocolate pieces into her mouth and chewed them.

"Well, I can see that someone still isn't ready to travel by portkey!" someone sneered in Dorrie's direction.

Dorrie turned to see her own rival in sorcery, Derek Von Schroeder staring her down.

"I thought I smelled a rat's tail!" Dorrie exclaimed.

"Beautiful day for a practice dazzleball game," Derek said. "eh, Dorrie?"

"You lousy piece of wart root," Dorrie remarked of Derek. "why are you here?"

"Just like you, my dear Dorrie," Derek said. "I am here to cheer on my own son, Horst does well in the practice game!"

"You were always a Slinky Serpant and a Cheating Cheetah when we were in junior high & high school!" Dorrie shot at Darek.

Over with the Stonewall Serpants, Prince Hugo the Second was eavesdropping on a conversation between Alphonse and Horst Von Schroeder about something truly awful.

"You know, Horst, I've got an idea." Hugo the Second heard Alphonse announce.

"I'm all ears." the prince heard Horst saying, he was curious.

"My father has some magical stuff laying around his study at home," Alphonse revealed. "I went through it once, and discovered a potion that will make somebody fall out of love with somebody else."

"Sounds interesting." Horst admitted.

"I was thinking that perhaps I could put the potion in Rubeus's drink," Alphonse planned. "It would make him fall out of love with Dorrie Lucinda, she'd be so sad that Rubeus no longer loves her, and she couldn't properly play Dazzleball as a result."

"Well, that would give us quite the advantage on the playing field." Horst observed.

The young prince scrambled away from the area where he had been eavesdropping.

Oh no, Prince Hugo the Second thought, continuing to run. I had better tell someone about this!

The prince found his mother & father what was about to happen.

All during the first part of the practice game, things were going well between Rubeus & Dorrie Lucinda, it was only during a break that Queen Cleo & King Hugo the First had to intervene.

"No! Rubeus," King Hugo warned. "don't drink that!"

Rubeus was confused, "Why not, King Hugo?" he asked.

"Because, it is a potion that is used to force two people who are in love out of love!" Queen Cleo told Rubeus.

"Wow! Thanks for warning me!" Rubeus said to the king & queen.

"Who would attempt to do such a thing as break you & Dorrie Lucinda up?" Queen Cleo asked Rubeus out of concern.

Hugo the Second stepped forward, "I know it wasn't very princely of me, but I was spying on the Serpants..." he began.

"You were what?" King Hugo the First scolded his son, he was angry.

"Now now, Hugo," Queen Cleo chided. "let Junior finish."

"I was spying on the Serpants," Hugo the Second continued. "when I overheard Alphonse Blackstone saying that he was going to break Rubeus & Dorinda up by means of an anti-love potion, so I decided to tell you & Mom what was going on."

"Good show, Son." King Hugo said.
