The Prince and his Guard

Max-overboard-Emil.

"Attention party people, we are t-minus ten until the eagles land! Grab your confetti poppers and get to your assigned hiding locations!" I exclaimed.
"Try not to yell into your headset, Emil." Anna told making me nod.
Everyone headed to their spots as Sydney ran over to me.
"Party Puma, we have a whale of a problem. There's a problem with the whale." She told making us look over to it.
"She's melting! Braughner, what did you do?!" I exclaimed as we looked over at Braughner.
"Wh...nothing! You got a limp whale, buddy! Only one thing we can do, start eating! Dibs on the blow hole!" She told as she grabbed her retractable spoon.
"No Braughner!" Me and Anna exclaimed towards her so she put the spoon away.
"We can save it. Crank the AC, everybody get to your hiding spots, and STOP FREAKING OUT!!" I yelled making Regina, Sydney and Anna wince as they quickly pulled the headset off.
"HEADSET!" They all exclaimed.
'We can still save the party. It can still be perfect.'
"Emil. Relax. Seriously you are going into Max-overboard-Emil, and I am worried about you getting mad."Anna told.
"It's fine. Everything is fine." I told.
'Everything will be fine.'

~ 4:30 pm~

We were waiting for Teddy 30 minutes past when he was meant to come down for cake.
"Where's Teddy? Did you tell him cake was at 4:00?" Sydney asked as she hid behind her Dj booth.
"Yes, many times, and he promised he would be here." I called back
"It's true. I was there." Anna added as she rubbed my back.
"Well, I guess we could go ahead and dig into that cake."Braughner told
"We said no Braughner!" Me and Anna exclaimed to stop her.
"Shhh, footsteps! Here they come!" Regina whispered.
The doors opened and the lights came on, making everyone pop up and yell surprise. We saw Teddy was no where in sight.
"Whoa. You got me." Tanner said as he stood near the door since he just walked in. "Why is it so cold in here?"
"It's for the whale." I told not being able to hide my disappointed and frustrated look.
"Makes sense."
"Tanner, I told you to be here before 4."
'Where is he?'

~5:16~

"No, no, no, do not go! Teddy will be here at any moment, he is only..... 76 minutes late." I told as I checked my watch.
The kids put the confetti cannons down before walking past me and out the door.
'Why have they not come down?'
Tanner and Sydney came over to me and I couldn't stop the upset look I had, while Anna tried to cheer me up.
"Hey guys, do you wanna bounce? This party kinda sucks." Tanner told
"Tanner. We're the ones throwing the party." Sydney told
"Oh, sorry. Your party kinda sucks."
"Sydney I want to punch your boyfriend." Anna stated.
"Unfortunately, your rather confused boyfriend is right. Everything is falling apart. If we do not do something, Teddy will be as disappointed with his Bakshal as I was with mine and this was my one chance to make it up for all of Anna's past birthdays that have gone wrong."
"Emil, it's ok. Everything is fine and I'm sure he's just very relaxed right now that he does not know the time just yet."
"Well, I could start my set and get this party going." Sydney suggested making me grab her shoulders.
"Go. You pump up those jams." I told.
She ran over to the dj booth and began to play her playlist. Tanner began to dance ridiculously. I could tell as time went on I was getting more mad and upset, and I also knew that Anna was trying all that she can to not have a repeat of Tatiana's birthday party as well as all her ones.
'He promised cake at 4. Well it's past 4 Teddy!'
"Hey guys. Couple of quick announcements. To the owner of the blue Subaru, you left you headlights on." Braughner told over the microphone pulling me out of my thoughts.
"Dang it, that's me." Regina said before rushing out of the bowling alley.
"Oh, and if anybody sees a snake loose in the bowling alley, please let me know, he will bite you. Ok party on!"
Everyone began to scream and rush out of the building. I tried to get them to stop only for everyone get past me.
"This wouldn't have happened if Regina let me put the snake in the nacho heater." Braughner told
"Nows not the time Braughner." Anna exclaimed letting her anger begin to show.
"It's ok, it's ok. We'll find the snake." Sydney told as she took the microphone from Braughner.
"It does not matter." I told sadly.
"It kinda does." Sydney said with a serious tone.
"She's correct. The snake bites people." Anna added.
"This party was already ruined when Teddy broke his promise and never showed up. So I am going to break my promise and go give him a piece of my mind." I told before storming off which cause Anna to rush after me.
