I sighed. Some idiot on the freeway decided to jump in front of me, and then they had the audacity to drive slowly. Feeling a headache coming on, I simply got around them and continued driving to my destination. Once I reached the school, I headed straight for the principal office and calmly opened the door. I saw the parents of the bullies angrily staring at me, but I ignored them. It's a specialty of mine. I walked up to the principal's office door and knocked. "Ms. Kravenoff, come in. I've been expecting you," the principal said.
"Mr. Montego," I replied from outside the door. Opening the door. I saw my three adoptive children sitting in a corner at the side of the room.
"Welcome, Ms. Kravenoff. I'm sorry I called you up here. I know as a mother that you're very busy," Mr. Montego replied.
"Yes, I am. Not to be rude, but it's 'Mrs. Kravenoff'. Also, you called me up here because the twins hurt another child and his friends. I'll have you know that my daughters are very sweet, and they only hurt people if they harm or attempt to harm them," I replied back.
Mr. Montego sipped his coffee and folded his hands, looking at me with a smile that made me want to punch it right off his face. "Ms. Kravenoff, you do understand that even though they were protecting their brother, as a boy, he should have handled it himself instead of letting his sisters fight his battles for him. Those poor boys now have to take a trip to the dentist," the principal said back.
I looked at him, absolutely appalled at what he said. "Mr. Montego, with all due respect, my children shouldn't be in trouble for doing what was right. Those boys aren't dead. Now, the twins could have chosen to slice them in half, but they didn't. Therefore, your argument is invalid," I replied back.
The principal raised an eyebrow. "Look, Ms. Kravenoff. What I'm really trying to say is I'm going to have to ask you to take your children all of them out of this school and enroll them somewhere else. The twins there. They are… How should I say this…? A dangerous breed. What are they called, again? Poodle something?" He said rudely.
"They are Pseudorian and Jangwee hybrids, and they are not dangerous!" I hissed venomously, finally losing my temper. How dare he insult my children!
"Look, I understand that you're angry, but face it. Next time, they'll kill someone for Kenny and things. What are you going to do?" The principal asked ignorantly.
I had had enough. "You know what, Montego? We are done here! Starting today, I'm taking all my children out of this school. You will never see us again. Since you believe aliens are so dangerous, then I'll be sure to let all the mutant and alien parents know that this school is racist to different species," I spat out. At that, I grabbed my children's hands and unenrolled them from the school, including Fawn and Link, and went out. My cell phone rang and I answered it. I knew who it was, thanks to caller I.D. "Hello? What's wrong, Sebastian?" I asked.
"My queen, it's the queen of Arena. She wants to let you know that she wants to reschedule the meeting," Sebastian replied back.
"Why?" I asked, even though I was secretly happy.
"Forgive me, mistress, but it turns out hard salami and cheese on crackers is a bit poisonous to spider-type aliens. Let's just say things got a bit explosive for her majesty…" Sebastian said back.
I nearly gagged. "Okay, Sebastian. Too much information!" I said back.
"I apologize, my queen," he replied.
"Well, thank you for telling me. Is everything set for the royal ceremony tonight?" I asked.
"Yes, milady. Everything is perfect. " Sebastian chimed happily.
"Good. Thank you. I'll see you soon, Sebastian," I said before hanging up. The car was silent.
"Mommy, did we do something bad?" Momo asked.
"No, sweetheart. You didn't. That man and that entire school are just a bunch of idiots," I said to my daughter.
"It's my fault everyone got kicked out of school. Sorry," Kenny said sadly.
"Sweetheart, you don't have to apologize for anything. You did nothing wrong, and your sisters didn't, either. As a family, we protect one another, and that's what the twins were doing," I replied back.
"Humans are stupid," Kylie said.
"And they smell," Fawn chirped,
"And don't forget that they're mean, too," Link added.
"Now, now, girls. Not all humans are bad. Your father is a human. Daddy is not a bad man, now is he? Besides, not all humans are bad. Remember that, okay? Promise mommy no matter how bad people may treat you that you never stoop to their level," I said back to them.
"Okay. We promise, mommy," They all chimed in.
I smiled. "That's my good girls and boy," I replied back.
*1 hour later*
*The royal ceremony, 3rd person p.o.v.*
Rival was more than a bit nervous. Being officially coroneted as Queen was not something to be taken lightly, and her husband would be coroneted alongside her in a joint coronation ceremony. She put on a royal purple robe with a golden trim. Kraven had said that the color combination went great with her eyes, but she knew that he thought everything went with her eyes. She couldn't help but blush a bit as she thought of Kraven. She couldn't wait for some alone time with him after everyone left and the children were asleep. Some good alone time would melt her stress like butter.
*Meanwhile*
Kraven himself was very nervous. He had never seen himself as royalty in any sense of the word, but here he was, about to be crowned king alongside the woman who would always be his queen. He put on his own purple robe with golden trim. He said that the color went great with Rival's eyes, and he meant it, too. The Russian man knew she was very nervous about the whole coronation ceremony, and he understood. Perhaps he could help her relax once the ceremony was done.
Meanwhile
Link was giving the servants a hard time. "No, I don't want to put on a blue dress. I want pink because I'm a princess!" Link chirped happily running around her nanny, laughing gleefully.
The middle-aged Chitauri maid sighed. "Princess, please hold still," she begged as she tried to get the princess to hold still long enough for the tailor to get the measurements he needed to get.
Rival poked her head in the room. "Is she giving you trouble?" She asked. Receiving a nod from the Chitauri maid and tailor, as she went back out, she said to Link, "Do what they say, young lady, or no chocolate for you."
"Yes, mommy," Link said, holding still. With a grateful sigh, the tailor completed the measurements. It turned out that the initial measurements were correct. The Chitauri maid gave Link the blue dress and raised the privacy curtain. It only took Link a minute to put the simple blue dress on. As she went to the ceremony room, she quickly realized that her twin sisters had on green dresses, and Kenny had a simple tuxedo.
Rival and Kraven knelt down to receive their crowns, and the officiator of the ceremony offered the following blessing: "Haec duo sunt, benedicentur cum diu quietam regula et felix matrimonium," which means, "May these two, the king and queen, be blessed with peace and prosperity."
The crowd said, "So it shall be."
Rival was given a ceremonial scepter, and Kraven was given a ceremonial sword. As was planned, Volcanus stepped forward and knelt before the now royal couple. Kraven stepped forward, placing the flat of the ceremonial sword on Volcanus' shoulders, saying, "I hereby knight you Sir Volcanus. You may rise."
Volcanus rose. "Thank you, my king and queen," he solemnly before backing away. The royal ceremony was officially over after that, but the guests stayed behind to enjoy the food, drinks, hospitality, and conversation. It wasn't until midnight that all the guests left or had retired to guest quarters. The children had already gone to bed a few hours ago, and Rival was too tired to be in the mood. Kraven knew she was tired, and helped her into bed, falling asleep with his arms around her.
