Annalisa: The engagement photos were quite nice, don’t you think girls? You were a little washed out, dear, but not much can be done of that.

Philip: I thought you looked beautiful, Marionette.

Marionette: Thank you, daddy.

Claudia: Who knew that you could actually dress up for an occasion. Mom could never get you to stay in any of our old hand-me-down dresses.

Amoretta: Do you remember when we went to that dinner party when we were twelve and Marni wore those scrappy old jeans and dirty t-shirt under her dress?

Claudia: Yes! They were always covered in dirt or mud from you and Marcel playing in the river. It’s a miracle you both didn’t get warts from all those frogs you touched.

Marcel: You say that like it’s a bad thing. All that stuff was way more fun than the tea parties and hair braiding you two did all day.

David: You never told me about any of that before.

Marionette: I-

Amoretta: She’s probably still a bit embarrassed by all of it because I told her that no boy was ever going to fall in love with a girl with mud on her face.

Claudia: But look at you now. The ugly duckling of the family finally grew up.

Amoretta: Maybe not into a swan, though. Oh relax, Marni. We’re only having a bit of fun with you. You’ve always been far too sensitive for our taste.

Annalisa: Alright girls, that’s enough. David, can you tell us anything about the wedding?

David: We haven’t planned anything yet, but-

Marionette: We were thinking of St. Bernard’s Cathedral. I know you wanted to get married there, Amoretta, but you couldn’t get it approved on time.

Amoretta: Hmm. If I could do it over again, I’d probably do a destination wedding. Maybe Eloda. I hear the weather is beautiful there. Much better than here in the city.

Marionette: Never say never.

Philip: Okay, well I don’t know about any of you, but I’m a bit famished. Maybe we should order, girls? Honey?

Annalisa: Nothing for me, dear. I’m trying out that new fasting diet. thank you @royalsofeloda​​ ❤️

Michael, Secretary: Her Majesty will see you now.

David: Thank you, Michael.

David: Hi, Mom.

Victoria: Hello, David. I’ll admit that I was a bit surprised seeing that you scheduled a meeting with me.

David: What do you mean?

Victoria: Meaning that you keep us all at a distance. Come sit. What did you want to discuss?

David: I think you already know.

Victoria: Yes, I have a feeling.

David: Marionette and I are wondering-

Victoria: When I will announce it.

David: Yes.

Victoria: [pause] I think now is a better time than any to address some of my concerns.

David: What concerns?

Victoria: The haste you have taken to push this marriage forward. Not to mention the outbursts of hostility you’ve been displaying to me and James. Clara told me about the fight that almost erupted between you and your brother.

David: What did she say?

Victoria: You were willing to put hands on each other. That’s not how I raised you to behave.

David: I’m sorry and I’ll apologize to James, but do you not trust me?

Victoria: I did not say that I didn’t trust you, but I question your judgement.

David: James was engaged within a month and married within four. I’ve waited twice that long.

Victoria: James’ marriage was under very different circumstances and we are not talking about him, we are talking about you. I would prefer it if you took some time to really think about this. Marriage isn’t something to be taken lightly in this family and I worry that you may be rushing too far into this.

David: I’ve had more than enough time to think about it. You made sure of that. 

Victoria: I just want you to be happy for all the right reasons.

David: And Marionette makes me happy.

Victoria: [long pause] Alright. I’ll have Michael schedule the announcement.

Sofia: Why are you here, James?

James: You’ve been ignoring my calls. What am I supposed to do?

Sofia: Did you ever stop to think that maybe I don’t want to talk to you?

James: Whatever happened to not wanting anything to change between us?

Sofia: Everything changed. Everything changed the moment I...James, I’m...I can’t do this.

James: Then don’t. If it’s the press you’re worried about, just give it time. It will blow over like every other trash story they plaster on the covers.

Sofia: Except this isn’t a trash story! It’s every bit of the truth! Do you actually believe yourself when you say that because this isn’t going to go away! This whole thing is a mess and it’s just going to get worse when everyone finds out that I’m...

James: When everyone finds out what?

Sofia: [...]

James: Sofia!

Sofia: It doesn’t matter. It’s my problem. This whole thing is my problem.

James: We can fix this...please. I don’t want to lose you.

Sofia: This is far beyond fixing. Do you even care that my father stepped down as Prime Minister? I can’t show my face around here anymore.

James: I-I don’t know what you want me to say.

Sofia: I don’t need you to say anything. Just drop it. It’s better this way. Not just for me and my parents, but for you too.

James: How is this better for me?

Sofia: You’re married, James. We both knew this would happen eventually. Go make a life with her like you’re supposed to.

[monroviaroyals]

Alexandra: James, are you alright? You haven’t touched your plate.

James: I’m fine.

Alexandra: You don’t sound fine. You can talk to me.

James: [...]

Alexandra: If something is upsetting you, I want to help. We can work through it together, remember?

James: You can take this. I’m done.

Balcony Wave! Royal Wedding Part 6

[monroviaroyals]

*loud bangs coming from front door*

Peter: Are you expecting someone?

Clara: No. I didn’t invite anyone over.

Clara: What’s going on?

James: Sofia’s gone.

Clara: Are you sure?

James: Yes I’m sure! Her apartment is empty and her parents are gone too.

Clara: Maybe this is a good thing.

James: What?

Peter: I’ll go finish dinner.

Clara: I’m sorry she gone, but look at you. You’re a wreck and you’ve made a huge mess of things.

James: If it wasn’t for David, none of this would have happened.

Clara: It should have never happened to begin with, James! Don’t you get it? I hate to say this to you, but you and Sofia were never going to work out. Not in your position and you knew that.

James: I thought things would be different by now.

Clara: You thought wrong. Laws don’t change overnight and now Sofia and her family are paying the price.

James: It should have been you doing all of this.

Clara: But it’s not. It’s you. You have to grow up and accept your duty.

James: What is the point of duty if you can’t choose who stands with you through it?

Clara: That’s the essence of it, isn’t it? The sacrifice of choice for the bigger picture. You and Alexandra are the greater picture now.

James: I don’t know if I want that. I can’t just let her go like this.

Clara: Don’t be stupid, James. Your job is here. Not with Sofia.

James: It’s not that easy.

Clara: No one said that this was ever going to be easy. And you’re just going to make it harder for yourself if you keep fighting it. I know this isn’t what you came over here for or what you wanted to hear, but I do get where you’re coming from. This system isn’t always kind, but you can still find some happiness in it if you allow yourself to.

So I drown it out like I always do  Dancing through our house  With the ghost of you  And I chase it down  With a shot of truth  That my feet don’t dance Like they did with you

My reignited obsession for 5SOS totally did not inspire this post

[monroviaroyals]

James: Sofia!

James: Sofia? I’ve been calling your phone for the past few days, but it goes straight to voicemail.

Sofia: I turned it off. Have you seen all the vile things they’re saying about me? I told you this would happen if I’m pitted against her.

James: You did and I’m sorry.

Sofia: Sorry isn’t going to fix this, James. The reputation of my family is destroyed! My mom won’t leave the house and my dad’s career is being thrown through the mud. This wasn’t suppose to happen.

James: I wish I could do something to help you, I really do, but I-

Sofia: Can’t risk your own reputation. I get it. I’m such an idiot for believing we could make this work.

James: Sofia, that’s not what I’m saying.

Sofia: You don’t get it. I’m the one that has to deal with the shitty end of this stick, not you. I just...I need some space from you. You can at least help me by doing that.

James: You know that if it wasn’t for this stupid wedding, I’d-

Sofia: Just go, James. I don’t want to hear it.

James: Soph, don’t be like that. You said you didn’t want anything to change between us, but now you’re letting it happen.

Sofia: Please leave. I just want to be left alone.

BREAKING: THE CROWN PRINCE AND PRINCESS ALEXANDRA ARE OFFICIALLY ENGAGED

This morning, The Monrovian Royal Court officially announced the engagement of HRH Crown Prince James and HRH Princess Alexandra of Aldovia in a photo call at the palace. The palace released this statement:

It is with the greatest pleasure that HM The Queen and HRH The Duke of Lanniston announce the betrothal of their beloved son, HRH Crown Prince James to HRH Princess Alexandra of Aldovia, daughter of TM King George and Queen Shireen.

The wedding will take place this Spring. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.

[monroviaroyals]

James: How are you feeling?

Victoria: That was the third Prime Minister to walk out my door. And now, every conceivable country on the continent is questioning our stability even more so than before.

James: He was a good one, I’ll admit that. A little stuffy, but he believed in you.

Victoria: He was the first one to take me seriously. This country was finally starting to change.

James: It still can. Monrovia isn’t going anywhere and neither are we. Don’t blame yourself for things that are beyond your control.

Victoria: For this I can. I saw this coming and I still let it happen.

James: How could you have possibly known it would come to this?

Victoria: It’s my job to know.

Victoria: I do believe that he truly loved her...and as much as I want to be angry at him...

James: He’s just like you.

Victoria: That’s what scares me. I live with my choices everyday, but I learned my lesson. Will he?

James: You lack faith in him.

Victoria: And he lacks faith in himself. That’s something we both have in common.
