Disclaimer: Half Prince doesn't belong to me, I'm merely borrowing the characters for my own. Also please excuse the short chapter, I promise things will pick up soon. I also have to go back and edit a few things in the first chapter.

New chapter starts now, GO!

With a sigh, Prince sat in the throne room looking quite bored.

"Do I have to?" He whined, as he stared at the papers in his hand and fidgeted in his seat. He still had yet to find out where Ugly Wolf and Lolidragon had disappeared to, and much to his chagrin, had been summoned by Yu Lian right after the two ran off.

As a precaution, Gui had been taken elsewhere by Kenshin so he would not disturb Prince while he was doing whatever it was they had made him do.

Apparently there really had been some concern and fuss running around the castle, and it was his duty as commander and owner of the land to fix whatever was wrong.

"I don't see why you don't deal with this yourself," Prince had muttered to Yu Lian, "you are the one in charge of the department."

"Would it kill you to worry about the state of your continent for once, your 'highness'?" Yu Lian looked stressed and with a huff, had simply handed even more papers to the person they had named ruler simply by name. "Sign here and here and here... Skip this page then sign in the back."

Grabbing a pen, Prince scribbled his signature in a sloppy way, hoping to be done as soon as possible so he could get back to his search.

Yu Lian took the papers and revised them. "I guess this will do."

Prince grinned and stood up from his seat. "Am I free to leave then?" He asked.

"Tsk-tsk!" Yu Lian motioned to him to remain seated. "We are now holding a meeting with your fellow continent residents."

Prince wailed and crossed his arms. "Why can't we do this later? I have things to do!" Yu Lian simply glared at him and with resignation, Prince shut up.

Might as well get this over with He thought.

Babysitting a genius with an IQ of 200, who turned into nothing less than a sulking child that was denied his favorite toy when nowhere near Prince was not in Kenshin's idea of a way to spend his day.

Giving the bard a bowl of strawberries, he sat down with him in the kitchen counter.

"His highness!" Gui wailed. "I want to see his royal highness."

"You will be able to see him when he is done with his duties." Kenshin replied in a stoic voice.

"But I want to see him now!"

"Eat your snack first."

Grumbling, the bard took a few strawberries and ate them silently. In his head, however, he was fuming and completely upset about the turn of events.

At one of the top balconies in the castle, Prince was there along with security and a grumpy Yu Lian who was staring at him, as if waiting for him to mess up to chastise him. With a huff, he calmly walked to the railing and raised his hands toward the continent he ruled over. As if talking not just to them, but the entire game in general, he plastered on his usual smile.

The fangirls were all falling for it, cheering and whistling and yelling was heard all over the ground floor, everyone waiting enthusiastically to hear what their lord had to say.

"My fellow comrades, I come to you today not as a ruler but as a person who shares the same sentiments as you about Second Life. This is why I want us to make the most of the time we have at hand and create memories that will last a lifetime!" He placed his hands down and sat back at his throne chair, which had been brought out to the balcony. "I will let you in on a little secret that for the last few weeks, we have been preparing something extravagant for all of you. That is the reason why you have not seen much of the Odd Squad after the announcement that our beloved game would close down soon." He sighed and placed his hands to his cheeks. "And here we have been receiving nothing but complains from all of you. How many was it again, Yu Lian?"

"About one thousand or so... That we have counted at least, your highness. There are probably more by now." The wizard replied.

Prince gasped. "A thousand?" He stared out to his city, looking sad. "You guys have little faith in us, it seems. Well, no matter, because we will prove you wrong." He stood up from his seat and messing with his tiara he waved his free hand to the touch-screen monitor and let it be shown to everyone. "If you could wait until we can tell you the surprise we're working on I would appreciate it a lot. Until then, I can tell you that it might involve our band."

Pictures of Odd Squad during their band's tour was shown in the monitor, the fans went crazy for it and there had been nothing but ruckus.

With his trademark smirk, Prince rested his arms in the balcony. "Intrigued?"

Amongst the rowdy crowd, stood Lolidragon with a hoodie to cover her, her arms were crossed, and a smirk was present in her lips.

This had been her idea, and it was a damned good one if she said so herself. What better way to reassure the people than to get Prince to give one of his speeches and get everyone worked up?

While it had been a lie that they had been working on anything for the past months except recovering and trying to live their life to the fullest, it had occurred to her that maybe it was time they did something for everyone after all.

When the speech was over, she maneuvered her way through the crowd and went back into the castle to find Ugly Wolf and complete the last of their plans.

Whistling a tune, she took her sweet time heading towards the throne room, where Yu Lian would most than likely take Prince after the speech.

If that idiot doesn't manage to worm his way past her and the security. Nothing was ever taken serious by him, after all Lolidragon thought to herself.
