"Congratulations!" Sang Doctor D. upon entering room 4D (his personal favorite). "It's a boy!"
Cinder, who had been escorted to the room some time ago, looked confused.
"What?"
The Doctor furiously reviewed his notes.
"Ah, yes, so sorry- that's for someone else. Yours is..."
He pulled the correct slip of paper out from what appeared to be a ream.
"'Congratulations!'" He read. "'You're immune!'"
...
"Kai..." said Kai's father, "come closer..."
The fresh prince of some place on Earth came to his father's side.
"What is it, father?"
Kai's father let out a long, wheezy breath.
"I'm dying."
Kai regarded his father bluntly. "No, you're not."
"I'm mortally wounded." His father persisted.
"No, you're not." Kai argued.
The fresh emperor of some place on Earth clutched his son by the scruff of his neck.
"I'M DYING, CONFOUND IT!"
"Okay! Alright! You're dying!" Kai finally agreed.
His father relaxed back into the bed.
"Please," he admonished, "take this Torin..."
Torin- the emperor's advisor and guard- soon joined the prince's side.
"Follow... me... on... Twitter..."
With that, the emperor let out a long sigh.
Kai followed his father's example. "What are we going to do, Torin? Without the emperor, how are we going to defeat my future fiancé and save the world? How can we possibly defeat the Loony queen?"
