Time: 1999.02.10.23.32.10

The sound of cheering people and music echo through the great "House of Place".

King Place: Congratulations AC!! *hitting AC on the back*

AC: Err.. thanks dad..

King Place: If I was a younger man I would.. *nugding AC in the side and pointing to Princess Dualstar*

AC: DAD!!

King Place: Well, at least I can still look...heh..heh..

AC: Geez.. *slaps his forehead*

King Place: Well, now that you are engaged to wed the beautiful Princess Dualstar no more space clubbing.

AC: *thinks to himself, how did I get into this mess?*

AC has a mental flash back to the scene at the House of Place and sees his father yelling at him.

King Place: You are marrying that Princess and I don't care if you don't love her!! Do I make myself clear!!!

AC flashes back to the present.. with a stunned look.

AC: *hmm.. is that how I got into this mess*

AC's concentration is interrupted by his Mothers hand on his shoulder.

Queen Place: Darling, are you ok?

AC: Mother, I don't want to marry Princess Dualstar.. she's so.. well.. stiff..

Queen Place: Listen darling, I was force to marry your father and that is the custom.. but in the end I learnt to love him. You will learn to love your wife as well.

AC: I understand Mother. *with an unsure look*

Night time falls and everyone in the Kingdom are asleep or drunk, AC on the other hand is wide awake.

AC: *I don't love her and I shouldn't be forced into marrying her. Maybe she feels the same way.. then again she is going to gain more then me in this marriage anyway*

AC makes up his mind and plans to take his battle craft and make a break for it before anyone is awake.

AC: Destin, where are you??

A metallic globe hovers from the corner of the room.

Destin: Yes, you called your highness.

AC: Follow me.

Destin: Yes your highness.

AC weaves through the palace and to the craftarage.

Destin: Where are you going your Highness?

AC: Be quiet and get in.

Destin: Yes your highness.

AC's starts the engine of the craft and heads straight to his battle craft and docks into the hanger.

Destin: Your highness, is this wise. You are getting married tomorrow.

AC: I know what I'm doing.. now set co-ordinates to.. hmm.. where can I go??

Destin: what about back to the House of Place?

AC: Shut up!!

Destin: Yes your highness.

AC: What's this? *pointing to a blue dot 30 million light years away from the furthermost boundary of Place space*

Destin: That is Earth your highness, it is an insignificant planet that consists of humans.

AC: Humans??

Destin: Yes, your highness. They are like us, but they are a stupid species.

AC: Are they dangerous?

Destin: Yes, very dangerous. Your Highness.

AC: Good.. We're going there!!

Destin: Excuse me your highness, but I said they are very dangerous.

AC: I know, I heard you! it's safer than marrying someone you don't love.

Destin: As you say your highness.

AC hits Locate-warp heading straight towards the blue planet.
