The Prince and his Guard

Setting up.

(Emil p.o.v)

"Party Puma to Octopus, come in octopus!"
"Emil, I'm right here." Sydney said making me head towards her. "And I told you, I do not want to be called Octopus."
"Roger that Squidney." I told.
"Yeah, you should have seen this coming." Anna told as she went over the list
"How's everything on your end moose queen?"
"So far we nearly have everything. Which I will add, this is a lot,"
"Well it is a party for two."
"I guess." She told rubbing her head before I continued with checking the progress.
"How is the mash-up coming along?"
"Sound checked, music mashed. Thought about it, would prefer to go back to Octopus."
"Too late Squidney. What is your status, Night Tiger?"
Regina walked in looking like she was out of breath and had a tired look on her face.
"Night tiger has blown up 200 balloons so far and....the room is spinning."
"Well, there should be plenty of more helium left in the tank." I told and she let go of the new balloon she was working on as she narrowed her eyes towards me.
"Emil, Im worried you might be going overboard. I mean, that is the biggest ice cream cake I've ever seen in my life." She told pointing to the giant whale cake on the counter.
"Clearly you have never been to Bobs giant ice cream cake emporium. That's their smallest option."
"I thought I had advised it be able to fit in the fridge." Anna stated.
"It does."
"Emil, I fear you've entered Max-overboard-Emil."
"It is all ok Anna."
"I don't believe you. This is exactly what you have said every time you've planned my birthday, and is the exact reason I didn't want to celebrate it any more."
"And yet, you're party is going to be better then Teddys."
"Oh no."
"Live snake, coming in hot!" Braughner called as she entered
"That better be a code name!" Regina said not wanting to look.
"I suggest not looking." Anna told before I spoke up.
"It is not. Teddy wrote a very enthusiastic paper about Dinosaurs in the fourth grade. So I figured, if Teddy likes dinosaurs, he must like reptiles, and if he likes reptiles, he will love snakes. Nice work Braugher."
"Hmm, no sweat. My uncle is a janitor at the zoo, and since this one bit a kid, they said he could take him home. So, if you need a snake, he'll be in the nacho heater." She told before walking off
"Uh, no he won't!" Regina told as she followed her.
"Emil, did you forget the whole snake incident that happened when we all went camping?" Anna questioned.
"Not at all."
"Oh boy."
"Your really making sure Teddy and Ann enjoy this aren't you." Sydney told making me nod.
"I know Anna very well."
"And yet our home has been over run with animals every year for my birthday."
"Just wait for your separate surprise."
"Oh boy oh boy. Gee golly, I can't wait." She told letting her sarcasm known.
"I know you have doubts. But you will love it. As how Teddy will love this and it's all coming together. I can see the look on his face now." I told before I began to act everything out.
"Emil, I advise you stop doing this." Anna told in my vision which confused me a little.
I was given a push knocking me out of the illusion and I looked at Braughner.
"Dude...."
"Right, sorry. What is going on?"
"You got lost in what you hope will happen. Like every year." Anna stated as the others stood next to her.
"Important party question. When are we harpooning that's tasty looking cake?" Braugher asked
"Not till 4, Braugher."
"4? We'll see about that." She told before heading off.
"Someone please stop her." Me and Anna told making Regina go after her with Sydney following.
"Seriously Emil. I don't think this is wise, due to how angry you got when you planned Tatiana's birthday late last year and how mad in turn you got when she didn't show up, due to her door handle of her fabric room coming off and her having to wait till her phone was charged enough to text us she was stuck."
"Everything will be fine Anna. You worry too much for your liking."
"It is literally my whole job to worry for you Emil."
"Do you trust me?"
"Of course."
