Mela POV
"Actually Mela, there is something that I want to discuss with you..." Queen Beam whispered to me. "Can we go back there so I can tell you all about it?" Pointing at his special throne.
The Queen sat down and sighed. I sat down on the floor waiting for him to speak. He took a deep breath and looked at me.
"The thing is Mela... I need help." The Queen started.
"Help? What kind of help my Queen?"
"Ummmm... *sigh* I need a manager or assistant that can help me with a special item assigned to me by my professor..."
"That shouldn't be a problem Queen. Of course we will help you. But if you don't mind me asking, what specific kind of help do you need?"
He sighed again. What is it that is making him this nervous?
"Okay. Okay. I just need to tell you. But promise me you won't tell Forth."
"Owkaaay... I promise! So out with it Queen!" Curiosity was taking over me.
"You know that the centennial anniversary of the Faculty of Medicine is coming in a few weeks right?"
I nodded.
"There are many contests prepared for the celebration. I was chosen to participate in one of them..." He trailed off.
"uhuh..."
"I... *sigh* I'm one of the official candidates for The Search for KU Med Bebot..." He said almost a whisper.
What?
He's a candidate for a pageant? That's easy!
But wait. Did I hear that correctly? He's going to be a Bebot candidate?
A Bebot?
"a Bebot..." I absentmindedly thought out loud.
"Yes, Bebot Mela. I thought I could ask you to be my manager. I don't know anyone else I can ask. I don't have effems or ladyboy friends. My friends have their own roles in the celebration too so."
"Bebot..." I whispered.
The Queen nodded with an awkward smile.
"Bebot... Bebot... Bebot! Bebot!!! KYAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!" It finally sunk in what was needed to be done!
"Shhh! Shh!" The Queen tried to shush me. But shouting in the Garden was just a normal occurence so the Flowers just continued with what they were doing.
"Oh Queen! This is perfect! You're perfect! It will be an honor to become your manager!" My eyes were twinkling in excitement. "Did they inform you of all the activities required from you?"
"Here. They gave me this." He handed me their programme flyer.
I read the handout and was amazed on what they had in store for the Bebot pageant. "Wow! So many things to do!"
"Don't worry Mela. I won't ask you to help me in all of it. That will burden you too much. I don't intend to win anyway."
"NOOOOO!" I startled the Queen with my response. "If we are going to do this, we are in it to win it!"
"Really Mela-"
"King Forth will not be pleased if I helped you half heartedly and will suspect that I didn't help you enough if you didn't win the title!"
He gulped at the mention of the King's name.
"Well... alright. I'll do it promptly. But if I don't win please don't be too hard on yourself."
