More of this. We gonna start with Jeremy this time.

Jeremy watched from the window as everybody in Squip's kingdom was trying to get everything together for his wedding...their wedding...the thought made Jeremy shutter.

He was going to be married in two days. Two days would go by either very slow or extremely fast...either way, Jeremy dreaded the end of that second day...he'd go to sleep that night a married prince...to somebody he resented.

His door swung open and he was surprised to see Sal standing there. Especially with a measuring tape and glasses.

"Prince can you take your cape off for me?" He asked and Jeremy did as instructed. "And your crown." Jeremy removed that too. "Thank you, now just hold your arms out and stand up straight."

Jeremy tried fixing his posture as Sal began measuirng him. The heck was this man doing?

"Can I a-ask why you're measuring me?"

"Your wedding outfit. Boss wants it to be perfect, so he asked me to make it." Sal explained, finishing up and smiling. "And perfect it will be. Do you have a specific color you want the cape and belt to be? Because they're your choice of color."

"I...I would like blue..."

"Alright, I can do that. I promise you're going to love it when I'm finished!" The door closed and Jeremy grabbed his cape and readjusted it around his neck, looking in the mirror as he placed his crown on his head.

He pulled the picture back out and gently kissed where Michael was located on it.

"I wish I could marry y-you...My Michael..." He whispered, as he heard footsteps down the hall. He hid the picture and Squip opened the door with a smile on his face.

"Miah, did Sal already take your measurements?"

"Mmhm..."

"Good, Winston is making you lunch and I want to eat it with you." He grabbed Jeremy's hand and pulled him downstairs and towards the dining hall. "You can sit right here." He pulled out a chair for Jeremy, and he sat down slowly.

Winston came in with a tray of several different meals and placed them on the table.

"Oh, drinks. Prince is there anything you'd prefer?" Winston asked and Jeremy took the seemingly unbridled kindness with a grain of salt.

"I'll just h-have some...I'll just take a Shroom Shake...please..." He mumbled. and Winston nodded, leaving the room to get drinks.

"So Miah, what do you think of the castle from what you've seen? Since you'll be living here soon, I wanna know what to change for you." Squip spoke surprisingly soft for once, and Jeremy looked down at his plate and sighed.

"It's...okay..." Jeremy's tone clealry sounded upset, and Squip took note of that.

"There's something you don't like, isn't there?"

"W-Well...it's too...how do I-I say this...bland...no....Dull?...Dreary.. yeah that's t-the word." Jeremy genuinely didn't care about the castle interior...he genuinely didn't care about anything except leaving.

"Oh is that all? I can fix that. SHANE!" Squip yelled and his younger older brother came into the room quickly. "My Miah said the castle is too dreary. I want you to brighten it up for him."

"Okay Boss!" Shane readjusted his sunglasses before running off.

"Well that handles that...you look upset, what's wrong?" Jeremy currently had his head rested on his arms as Squip asked him the question. "Miah?"

"It's...it's nothing...I'm just not h-hungry is all...I'm gonna go back upstairs...O-Okay?"

"Of course Miah." Jeremy stood up and left the dining hall and heading to his room, which he was actually okay with being cooped up in by himself....for once.

***

Michael, Christine, Rich, and Jake had just gotten out of a pool of waters that had been located in the grasslands, and were drying out what was able to be removed easily, such as their hats and bandanas.

"Well...that was...pain." Michael fell to the ground, exhausted from the constant swimming.

"Ith he okay Chrithtine?" Rich asked and Christine poked Michael's cheek, and he looked up at her and smiled.

"I'm alright...I'm just...not used to swimming that much...ugh..." Christine picked him up and wrapped his arm around her shoulder.

"C'mon Mikey, we got a Walnut to save." She gently began forcing his body upward and he nodded, pulling the picture out of his pocket, glad it was waterproof.

"Y-Yeah... we're comin' for you Jeremy..."

***

Jeremy was glad Squip hadn't came back to talk to him, but then he heard a knock at the door.

"I wanna be alone." He mumbled.

"Oh...I'm sorry, I just wanted to show you the decorations I put up." It was Shane.

"Shane...you can come in." Jeremy quickly corrected his error in almost shutting the nicest person there out.

"I'm sorry for bothering you Prince...I can leave if you want."

"No, it's o-okay. I...I kinda...wanna talk to somebody..."

"You just said you wanted to be alone though."

"That's cause I thought you were Squip..." Jeremy mumbled and Shane could see he was upset, and went over and gently hugged him.

"You look sad..." Shane mumbled and Jeremy smiled at his concern. "What's wrong?"

"I...don't wanna get married... to your brother..."

"Well that was obvious. You love Michael, right?"

"Y-Yeah..." Jeremy sat down on the bed and Shane sat down with him.

"It's okay...I don't know what my brother plans on doing...what did he say to get you to marry him?"

"He...He threatened to turn everybody...and that i-includes Michael...Rich, Jake, and Christine...it... includes the and...he was gonna turn them to s-stone and...and..." Jeremy began sobbing and Shane wrapped his arms around Jeremy tighter. "And t-throw them in a volcano..."

"What?" Shane sounded a lot more shocked than Jeremy thought he would be. "That's...okay stay here. I have to go."

"W-Where are you..."

"Don't worry about it."

***

"ERIC!!"

"Shane I told you not to call me that."

"Why the heck did you tell the Prince you were going to KILL his entire kingdom!?" Shane yelled furiously and Squip's eyes widened at how mad his brother looked.

"I meant it."

"Eric that poor boy is in TEARS at tbe thought of everybody he knows dying! Winston would have your head for this!" Shane as practically on fire his face was so read.

"You know as well as I do that Winston does not care what I do. I'm the king, not him."

"Well if he found out you were gonna kill Michael he'd be furious." Shane muttered under his breathe and Squip stood up when he heard it.

"Why would he be furious?" Squip asked, his eyes just as narrow as Shane's, both pairs glowing intensely.

"You really are an oblivious, selfish jerk aren't you? He's been in love with Michael since day one!"

"WHAT!?" Squip yelled so loud the room shook. Shane stood back, sweat forming on his face, but he still looked as mad as he had when he entered the room. "If he thinks he can...Shane, stay here, we aren't finished with this conversation." Squip slammed the door and Shane stared in pure anger at his little brother's door.

He looked down at the table and see a photo of himself, Eric, and Winston when they were little. He picked it up and wiped his slowly tearing up eyes.

"What happened to you baby brother? When did you change...?"
