Time: 1999.02.11.06.15.30The noise of the Palace awoke the sleeping Princess from her dream of falling in love with a man she loves, not to a man she doesn't love. DualStar: *Why can't I marry someone that I love?*
A knock on the door interrupts her thoughts. Maid: Princess it's time to wake up. Princess?
DualStar: I'm awake, when is the wedding?
Maid: It should be about noon.. but..
DualStar: But what?
Maid: I don't know how to tell you this, but Prince AC has disappeared.
DualStar: Disappear? You mean someone kidnapped him.
Maid: No, I mean disappeared. Prince AC's lambor-craft is not in the craftarage, they suspect that he ranaway.
DualStar: Ranaway? *What luck*
Maid: Don't be too upset your Highness, I'm sure that the King will find him.
DualStar: Oh.. of course *I hope not* What are the plans today then?
Maid: I don't know your highness, the King has called a meeting.
DualStar: A meeting.. *At least I can go home now*
Location: The throne of King Place
King Place: WHAT!!!!!
Kuren: He made a break for it, your highness.
King Place: Sir Kuren, I am intrusting you and Lady Ryuuen to find AC and retrieve him.
Ryuuen: Your Highness if I may be as to bold, what about the Princess?
King Place: Good idea Sir Ryuuen, take the Princess along so she can yell at AC herself.
Ryuuen: Err.. your Highness I wasn't referring to..
Kuren: Of course your highness, if you say so.
Ryuuen: Huh?
King Place: Now go and find my son!
Kuren: Yes your highness.
Ryuuen: Yes your highness.
Outside the great throne of King Place. Ryuuen: I didn't mean to take the Princess along, I was only asking what the Princess was feeling about this situation.
Kuren: I know, but it's not good to correct the King when his in one of his moods. Remember last time someone corrected him..
Ryuuen: Hmm.. yeah, the poor guy was forced to listen to Prince AC's silence..
In the sacred bed chambers of Princess DualStar. DualStar: WHAT!!
Maid: That's right, the King has arrange for you and two knights to track down Prince AC.
DualStar: WHY!!
Maid: The King has ordered it and so it is written.

Maid: Let us pack your bags.
DualStar: *This is a nightmare, all I have to do is wake up*
Location: Space Dock 119273
Kuren: Oh man, where is this Princess?
Ryuuen: If I knew that I wouldn't be drinking this coffee.
Kuren: Coffee? That's not coffee, that's stirred mud.
Ryuuen: *chokes and coughs* Mud??
Kuren: yeah, that's for the D'loh species. It's considered to be delicious for them.
Ryuuen: oh great, this is going to be a great day. *sarcastically*
DualStar: Hello, you must be Kuren and Ryuuen.
Kuren: Yes your highness, allow me to carry your bags. *staring at the Princess nicely formed figure*
DualStar: Thank you, but my bags are over there.
Ryuuen: *laughing to herself*
DualStar: What about you?!! Aren't you going to help?
Ryuuen: of course your highness *what an up tight 'bleep'*
