Is that?" Zion questioned the lead actress. "Apparently the best kind." The audience chuckled. "Let's get you to the court yard." As Zion tugged her offstage Floraline stopped her.
"Wait, Carrie, before we go to the wedding, can we go outside?" Zion nodded as the background set movers rolled the set off the stage and others moved a new set back on.
"It's very beautiful here! Too bad you will soon be queen. Having a king to boss you around. Not able to come out here often. It really sucks." She shook her head. " If I marry, I won't find someone who is controlling." Zion's face grew shocked.
"So you mean to tell me you don't know who you're engaged to?" The two exchanged silent glances until Floraline squeaked out, "Of course I know who he is... Just not how he is..." The audience chuckled yet again. "Sure." Zion looked up at the ceiling. At that same moment, so did the audience.
