## Story

The episode begins where Episode 22 ("Did You Hear the News?") left off, with one of the Pastel Palace's guards finding out that the other guard, Beckett, is in love with one of the Pastel Princesses. Beckett confesses that it's Princess Maria; though he has never seen her face, he has fallen in love with her singing voice, insisting "[he] doesn't need to see her to know that [he's] in love with her". He explains he was planning to rise up the Pastel guard ranks and eventually ask the King for Maria's hand in marriage, but now, he'll just have to ask the King to cancel Maria's engagement. The other guard asks if Beckett really thinks the King would cancel his daughter's engagement to a powerful, rich, and hot prince for "a shabby *foot guard* that he personally underpays"; Beckett's response to this is that the guard doesn't know if they're actually hot. The Plaid Kingdom's carriage then arrives, and King Leland, Prince Lance, and Prince Blaine exit Very Attractively (with a pink background and effects overlayed). Beckett's response to this is "Crap... They're hot."

Inside the Pastel Palace's living room, King Jack, Princess Maria, Princess Lorena, and Princess Gwendolyn are waiting for the Plaid Princes. Maria and Lorena get excited when they hear the princes coming up the stairs, while Gwendolyn is nervous, but tells herself to act normal and find a way to confront Prince Frederick. The Plaid King abruptly slams the door open, demanding that King Jack come with him, and they immediately leave the room together. Blaine asks where Prince Jamie is, and Maria informs him that Jamie is doing a food critique and will join them soon. Gwendolyn asks where Prince Frederick is, and Blaine tells her that Frederick is just running a *little* late. Lance starts to say Frederick is taking a llama, but he's only able to get the first syllable out (taking a *lah*), as Blaine elbows him before he can finish. This confuses Lorena, and Lance attempts to cover by saying Frederick is taking a *long pee*. Lorena accepts this answer, while Blaine seems even more frustrated.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn realizes she's shaking in nervousness, and excuses herself by telling the others she'll prepare them some snacks. While she's gone, Blaine suggests that they should go somewhere, but Maria tells them their father never lets them leave the palace, so she doesn't think they can go anywhere. Blaine and Lance insist that, since their fathers will be playing chess for hours, they can surely leave. Lorena and Maria are excited by this, but it's quickly interrupted when the door is slammed open, again. This time, it's a shaky, sweaty, and extremely exhausted Frederick. He asks Blaine if they can talk privately, but Blaine tells him he should freshen up while he and Lance talk to the princesses. Frederick slowly walks over to Maria and Lorena and asks them if he may use their bathroom, to which Lorena responds "Huh? But didn't you just go...?"

## Notes and Trivia

* Blaine nearly gives a perfect excuse for Frederick's lateness, but it is ruined by Lance interrupting him with the honest answer, that he had to carry Laverne the llama to the palace. Lance then attempts to cover by saying he was in the bathroom.
