"Hello everyone! Welcome back to Tea Talk with Rosetta!" She greeted the audience and camera. "Today we have the ministers, Fairy Gary, Fairy Mary, Dewey, and Viola," She said quickly. "And last but not least, Lord Milori and Queen Clarion!" cheers erupted from the seats behind the camera. Clarion kindly waved as Milori smiled. "Special treatment much...." Snowflake mumbled eyeing Rosetta. She let out a nervous laugh. "Oh don't start already, Snow," Mary taunted. Everyone let out a slight laugh at the bickering two. "What are we doing today?" Hyacinth asked rather nervously. "No need to be nervous, minister," Rosetta comforted. "Last time she said that, Hyacinth stayed in his room for a week," Milori mumbled to Redleaf. Redleaf bit his lip to hold in a laugh. Clarion had heard and quickly elbowed him in the ribs.

Milori sheepishly smiled. Rosetta was keeping a close eye on them while Snow and Mary started arguing again. "If everyone would please settle down," Rosetta politely asked. They all went silent and looked at her. "That was easier than expected," Vidia said from behind camera. Rosetta rolled her eyes and looked back towards the group, "Today, we are taking a lie detector test." Everyones mouth fell open. "Luv, I just remembered I have a meeting with a fairy," Milori informed Clarion. "We do. I just remembered," Clarion agreed. They were about to stand up when Snow and Red held them back. "No way are you getting out of this," Snow told Clarion. "We have a meeting," Milori lied. "Oh shut up. Neither of you do," Mary blurted. "They are just scared of their secrets coming out," Hyacinth said plainly. Everyone turned and stared at him. "Oh, and what secrets are those?" Rosetta asked.

"Nothing," Clarion answered for him. "Yeah, nothing at all," Milori agreed. "If you have no secrets why won't you do it?" Viola chimed in. Milori and Clarion both went silent and sat down. Rosetta giggled slightly before waving her hand and having a few fairies come out. They set up a small table with a lie detector test on it. "One of you will put the clippy on your finger and answer the question yes or no. It's quite simple," Rosetta smiled. Everyone nervously laughed and looked at one another. "Who would care to start?" No one spoke up. The entire room was dead silent. "Hyacinth would love to go," Milori spoke up. Clarion tried to not laugh along with everyone else. Hyacinths head shot up, "No! I'm okay. I will go next! Not first!" It was too late. Red had already practically dragged Hyacinth to the test and sat him down.

The whole group of friends were letting out quiet laughs seeing him panic slightly. "Minister of Spring, it's okay. The questions arent to horrible in the beginning," Rosetta smiled at him. "In the begginging," Milori and Snow both restated at the same time. They looked at eachother disgusted and shivered. "Aw! Cousin love!" Clarion whisper screamed at Milori, who rolled his eyes. "Minister of Spring, do you like your job?" Rosetta asked smiling. Hyacinth nervously laughed, "Yes." There was a loud buzz causing everyone to jump slightly back. "Hyacinth! You don't like your job!?" Clarion exclaimed laughing at the same time. "Luv, we already know the answer to that," Milori laughed. "He didn't have to lie about it," Gary commented. "I wonder if he likes us, or is lying about that too," Mary asked.
Rosetta sat in shock staring at the red screen on the computer. "Uh, minister, thank you for answering."

Hyacinth stood up quietly and almost passed out. He sat back on the couch and slumped back. The rest of the friend group went up and answered. They all said they liked their jobs, and none of them lied. Rosetta looked quite bored looking at the next questions. "This next question is only for the ones of you who are or have been in a relationship," Rosetta informed them. Clarion and Milori looked at eachother and smiled nervously. "Well, that's unfair," Red muttered. "Uh- How many of you have been in a relationship?" Rosetta questioned. Milori smiled and answered, "Me!" Clarion pretended to look shocked and went, "Me too! I wonder if we have met eachothers partners!" Milori beamed, "I wonder!" Snow looked very unamused, "Oh be quiet. Some of us are lonley." Mary, Gary, Dewy, and Viola said, "Get with Red!"
