The Crowning of the King

Part 10

Trayne- Be careful, her hobby is investigating people. Sometimes she goes too far, and gets carried away.

Arkady- That's ok, when you see the house, you'll know who I am.

Trayne- So where are we going, do you live in the city somewhere?

Arkady- No, outside the city. I just come here to walk my dog.

Zelda- By the way, what's your dog's name?

Arkady- Oh, you mean the dog that almost ran you down the other day? His name is Shadow.

Trayne- Why name him Shadow if he's solid white?

Arkady- Long story short, when he was a puppy, he never wanted to be in the sun. I always had to drag him out of every shadow.

Zsa-zsa- What breed is he?

Arkady- He's a Great Dane.

Zsa-zsa- I've never seen one up close before.

Arkady- Well, now you'll get to see more than one. My other dog, her name is Shade and she's also a Great Dane, had puppies about 5 weeks ago. You can play with them when we get to my house.

Trayne- What about my brother, will he be meeting us there or does he need a ride?

Arkady- He told me that he'd get a ride later after his photo shoot was done. Afterwards, he'd be starting his vacation. My sister said she wanted to give him a ride.

Zsa-zsa- What's her name?

Arkady- Her name is Willow Teagan, she just turned 15 and she's about to start at the Ladies and Gentleman's Finishing School. She'll start after this weekend is over.

Trayne- Is that why the headmaster let us come here so easily?

Arkady- Headmaster Lucus wanted her to get to know a few of the students before she started. That's also why Zsa-zsa is here, she's the student body president.

Trayne- So, she's not here because of me?

Zsa-zsa- Not entirely.

Arkady- Well, we should hurry if we want to get there before my sister. I'm also going to get us some pizzas on the way.

After picking up 6 pizzas, they got 2 everything, 2 pepperoni, and 2 meat-lovers. Then they hurried on to Arkady's. When they got there, Arkady's sister was waiting for them.

Willow- Arkady, your late! I thought that you were coming straight home!

Zsa-zsa- Wow! Is she always this bossy, Arkady? Hey, where'd he go?

Zelda- He looked like he was afraid of something, or someone.

Willow- He's afraid of me, the coward. He's older than me by three years, you'd think he could stand up to me by now. By the way, who are you?

Zsa-zsa- My name is Zsa-zsa, I'm the student body president. These are my friends Zelda and Trayne.
