Who: Cory Matthews and whomever!
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: SS Huntress
When: Backdated to the day of the Shuffle!

[Cory had arrived not long before the Shuffle, and so it's all just clicking in for him as he's beamed onto the Huntress. He thinks he has it figured out.

And so, one might pick up on a family resemblance as he shouts.]

SHAAAWWWWWN!!

Where are ya, buddy? Come one out. You finally did it. Prank of the century. I really thought I was in outer space for a minute. But I got you now!

[He lingers for a moment, looking out one of the windows into space.]

Whatever you did? It's really convincing. I'm impressed! I hope you didn't spend too much money on this...

--Is the princess going to save him from being eaten?

[boymeetsfatherhood]

If I go on, maybe you'll find out.

[ofbelief]

Okay. Fine. Go on.

[ BUT IT'S NOT BECAUSE SHE CARES OR ANYTHING. ]

[boymeetsfatherhood]

Okay. So, the king's daughter, the princess... she started to see a boy without her father's permission. He was from a different class and everything! They don't let that fly in their kingdom.

So, the guy was put up to that same trial. Two doors, two choices. One door had a very hungry tiger, and the other had a woman who was not the princess, whom the guy would have to marry.

[ Is this about her and Lucas??? Is he threatening to feed Lucas to a lion??? No. He can't be. But she doesn't look very comfortable as he goes on. ]

I don't know which one's worse.

[boymeetsfatherhood]

[Of course it's not.

...But at the same time, if she happens to come out of this story a bit discouraged from Lucas-related ideas, that may be a very happy coincidence for him!]

You don't, huh? Well I think that our princess had a similar thought in mind.

But you know? She knew which door was which. And when the time came... she passed a message to her lover, telling him which door to pick.

[ofbelief]

But then they wouldn't be together. That's not a very happy ending.

[boymeetsfatherhood]

That depends on how you look at it. If he got to keep on living, even if they couldn't be together, wouldn't that be happy in a way?
