The Final Stand (Conclusion To The Final War, Beyond All Limits)

Phenox kissed her head. "And I have the perfect bride."

 

Odette blushed, smiling. "It's what I've been brought up to be. Your perfect bride. Someone who you'll love and live happily with."

 

Phenox hugged her. "I do love you..."

 

"I love you too." Odette rested against him, smiling.

 

"She know I've seen her in her uptown world. She's getting tired of her high-class toys, and all the presents from her uptown boys. She's got a choice," Cooper sang. People were starting to gather around him, cheering.

 

Phenox kissed her. He held her tight.

 

Cooper kept singing. "Uptown girl. You know I can't afford to buy her pearls. But maybe someday, when my ship comes in, she'll see what kind of guy I've been."

 

Odette smiled before pulling away. "I have to go. I guess I'll see you when I can between photo shoots, interviews and getting my dress fitted." She stood up and got out of the bath, wrapping a towel around her.

 

Phenox did the same. "I have twelve Interviews today. Two soon, ten after the wedding."

 

Malum walked through the forest, and came upon the sight of a man sleeping in a bush, Malum walked up to him, and put his hand over his mouth, "who are you?" he asked.

Favian was jerked awake by Malum, and began to struggle, loudly kicking at the bush.

Genservant heard the commotion, and leaped away from the unmoving Leroy to face Malum, "Let him go Malum!" he said, getting into a ready stance.

 

Demetrio walked aimlessly around the castle passing the time until Phenox's wedding

 

Malum dropped Favian, and turned to Genservant, "ahh, just the person I was looking for!" he said, as he weilded his sword.

Genservant looked at Malum, then he pointed at Favian, "you, get out of here, you'll get hurt!" he said.

Favian scrabled away, who are these lunatics? He thought

 

"Not the ones you're thinking about. Yours are about the wedding. Mine are about mainly 'How does it feel to become Santax's most well known idol?', 'Tell us more about what you plan for your career future!' and 'What new outfit will come next?'." Odette replied, walking out. She grabbed a stray magazine and threw it at Phenox. Across the cover was Odette, holding a trophy. "It's the equivilant of a Hume Grammy Award."

 

Phenox put a robe on. He set the magazine on a table. "Well, that's interesting."

 

"I got bored." Odette replied, pulling on clothes. "No other intention. I don't want to be famous. I don't want the awards or money." She looked at him. "I was just bored."

 

"Alright." Phenox shrugged. "I think I might go for the 'Santax's Sexiest Man' award."

 

"You, pitted against 10 million other men that live on Santax. That's a big disadvantage." Odette smiled, hugging him. "But you win straight away to me."

 

Phenox hugged back. "Thanks." He kissed her head.

 

Odette smiled at him. "You're welcome."
A knock came at the door. "U-Ummm, Lady Odette? Master Phenox? I-I have a message for you both from Miss Scarlet....."

 

Phenox walked to the door and opened it. "Well, what is it?"
