The ruthless assassin and his gentle prince

💖The Valentine Specials Introduction💖

In a theatre, Slatey could be heard very clearly in the loudspeakers. The front curtain was closed and he was saying: 

"Ladies and gentlemen, a warm welcome to you all!! We are here for our special show: The Valentine Specials. On this Valentine Day, let's celebrate love! All kinds of love! And to present tonight's show, we have our mischievous Alyssa, our shy Eli and our dynamic Chiara as hosts. Please welcome them!!"

Claps could be heard from the very excited audience as the trio came on stage. They bowed to the audience. Alyssa came forward and said:

"Hello people! How are you tonight?"

She grinned as the audience responded to her question and said:

"Well well, we are here to talk about Valentine Day!!! Even though the day has yet arrived, our dear couples were already thinking about it. Some were forced to do it. Some thought to use it to tease their friends. Some finally prepared to confess. Some kept hoping for their beloved to be back. But yes they were all thinking about love!"

Chiara giggled and joined her:

"Passion. Friendship. Jealousy. Love. It's a whole package! Gifts have already been prepared! Proposals have been rehearsed nearly a thousand times! And let's not forget the chocolate! Lots and lots of chocolate!"

Then there was silence as she stopped talking and drooled as she thought about the chocolates. She whispered: "I need to tell mommy to save some for me.." Alyssa nudged her and whispered to her: "Leave the chocolates for now, Chiara!!" Chiara startled and continued her speech:

"And this is exactly why I love Valentine Day! Because of the chocolates!!"

Alyssa facepalmed and Eli rolled his eyes. Chiara just needed her chocolates. Eli walked forward and smiled shyly at the audience: 

"What she meant is that this is exactly why we love Valentine Day because of the special feelings that we tend to focus on for this special day. The words that you utter this day may not be perfect. They may not be complete. But as long as you say them with all your heart, it will reach that special person!"

Chiara finally remembered the last part of her speech and she said together with Eli as she grabbed his hand, making Eli blush so hard:

"So folks! Let our guards down! Let our loved ones to shower love on us and for us to do the same! And thank our lucky stars for making us meet our ideal partners!"

Slate laughed as he saw a blushing Eli try to let go of Chiara's hand but to no effect. He said:

"Now, our hosts will now present a small special show that they prepared themselves."

Alyssa smiled and said: 

"Yes yes, we are going to present to you a very cliche story. The prince slaying the dragon for the princess!!"

And a dramatic song started to play as Chiara raised her hand to make the lights go out. Minutes later, a light shone upon a shy and awkward princess as he peeped in. Eli swallowed hard. He was wearing a pink princess dress and a lovely hat on his head. He sighed. Why was he the princess again? Oh god. He could not do this. They did not even let him transform to a girl to do this. This was so unfair. But the ruthless Chiara pushed him from the corner where he was hiding. "Go.", she whispered. He took a deep breath and walked on the stage. Orders came to his mind instantly. "Fling your hair sexily in the air." "Smile to the audience!" The two girls were observing his every move. "Say your lines!" 

Eli raised his hand and said dramatically: 

"O Romeo, Romeo, where are you Romeo?"

Then came the prince rushing in. Chiara then walked casually in, all in black, wearing similar assassin clothes that her father used. She posed as she pushed the cape back. She smirked at the audience. Then came the special effects. Her entire outfit started to glow and her hair to float in the air. She came to her knees in front of Eli and said as she held Eli's hand:
