Chapter 10
Meanwhile, in Krolia's Kingdom, Keith arrives in the ballroom and when he sees Krolia's hair covered in red roses, he walks towards her and asks "Mom, what are these?" Krolia replies "Roses" Keith says "They're red" Krolia says "Of course they're red" Keith says "But Mom, I don't want red roses. I want white like a swan" Keith sees Hunk placing food on the table, looks at crackers topped with meat paste and asks "Hunk, would you feed this to a swan?" Hunk replies "I don't know" Keith says "Take it back. It needs to be something light. Something fresh" Hunk agrees "Okay, light and fresh. I'll work on it"
Keith sees Pidge and the band rehearsing until he says "Pidge no, hold it" Pidge stops the music and asks "What's wrong, Keith?" Keith replies "Tonight, the music must be played rubato. Soft and graceful like a swan" Pidge asks "A swan?" Keitn asks "You ever seen a swan, Pidge?" Pidge replies "Yes Keith, I've seen a swan" Keith asks "Well, if you could play a swan, what would it sound like?" Tavo the tuba player lets out a low trumpeting sound as Keith says "Soft and graceful, Pidge" Pidge sighs "All right, whatever you say"
Shiro arrives and asks "Keith, where have you been? I've been worried sick" Keith replies "Nowhere. just waiting for you to be my best man" Shiro and Krolia's eyes widen as they ask "You mean?" Keith nods in reply as Pidge plays soft and graceful music and Krolia laughs "Don't be so secretive, Keith. Tell us who it is" Keith laughs "You'll know when you'll meet them, Mother. You'll know" Hunk sighs "It does my heart good that Keith is smiling again" Pidge agrees "Especially on his special day"
Meanwhile, in Swan Lake, the swan-shaped Lance is locked in the dungeon as Lotor says "It hurts me to lock you up, Lance. It hurts me deeply but then, a king's day is full of tough decisions. You understand" Lance gives Lotor the silent treatment as Lotor says "Now, you're mad at me again. I can't do nothing right, well, I can't leave you like this. If you're not happy, I'm not happy" Lotor gets an idea and says "I know! If you can't attend the ball, then I'll bring the ball to you. The Prince is busy, of course but I think I can arrange a substitute" Lotor kick the door open, grabs Romlle tightly by the arm and says "This little traitor helped your sister escape but she won't interfere this time"
Romelle is thrown into the dungeon and yells "I never signed up for this anyway, Lotor. You sicken me with every fibre of my being" Lotor laughs "Well, I'd love to stay but if I don't leave now, I'll be late" Lance glares at Lotor who shouts "Don't give me that look, young man. Had to be sneaky, didn't you?! Had to drag your weakling prince into it, didn't you?! That's fine with me! Just fine with me!" Lotor slams the door, locks Lance and Romelle up and leaves as Romelle turn to Lance and whispers "Don't worry, I have a plan"
Meanwhile, with Leo and his brothers, they try to think of an idea to help Lance escape until Leo asks "I got it! Water leaks into the dungeon, right?" Donnie replies "Well, yes. Theoretically" Leo explains "Exactly! And if there's a leak, there has to be a hole" Mikey agrees "Oh I get it! We find the hole, make it bigger and, KABOOM, Lance is as free as a bird" Donnie asks "Metephorically or literally?" Mikey replies "I'd say both" Raph says "I think you're forgetting two things" Raph hisses like a snake while pointing at the two sleeping Nagas
Mikey says "Raph's got a point" Donnie agrees "Those Nagas will eat pretty much anything if we end up stuck in their coils. They also have venomous barbs on their scales so that's a bonus" Leo says "Not to worry, guys. First, we're gonna need a scout" Raph asks "Have you lost your shell? Who's gonna jump into this moat?" Leo replies "He's gotta be a good swimmer" Raph says "I should say so" Mikey agrees "He's gotta be big and strong too" Raph says "Large and mighty, I can work with that" Donnie smirks "And it wouldn't hurt if he was green for camouflauge purposes" Raph says "Exactly! Big, strong, good swimmer, green" but asks "You're talking about me? No, no, no, there is no way I'm gonna be almost made into turtle soup by those two viper breaths"
Leo teases "It's for Mona Lisa. We just gotta head for the hole" Raph groans "Oh, okay, but I'm doing this for her and nobody else. If we can find it and if those snakes don't poison us before we get there" Mikey asks "What about us, Leo?" and when Leo replies "Live bait" Donnie asks "Live bait?! Are you crazy?" Leo replies "Donnie, you and Mikey have to create a diversion" Donnie asks "What do you want us to do? Dress in drag and do a little dance?" Mikey replies "That can be arranged" Donnie pales "Meep" Donnie and Mikey face the two Nagas while Donnie wears a purple dress, Mikey wears an orange one and they start dancing in order for Raph and Leo and to get close to the hole until Donnie and Mikey notice the Nagas staring at them with hunger
Mikey asks "Donnie, how much is a Naga's bloodlust?" Donnie replies "Based on their drooling mouths and hungry eyes, I'd say 100%" Mikey whimpers "We should run" Donnie agrees "I second that" the two brothers take off the dresses and swim into the water with the Nagas following them as Leo sees this and says "Raph, make a hole. I'll take care of the snakes" Leo swims towards the Nagas and teases "Hey come and get me, Viper Breaths" Leo sticks his tongue out as the Nagas hiss angrily and when they swim toward Raph, he dodges them as they crash into the hole making it bigger for Romelle and Lance to escape just in time
Romelle, Lance and the turtles swim as fast as they can away from the Nagas and when they land safely on dry land, Romelle grabs two rocks and says "Have a snack, snakes" she throws the rocks at the Nagas' mouths and they ate them and go back to sleep. Mikey asks "Okay dudes, I just don't get it. Why would Lotor lock Romelle up? What did she do?" Romelle replies "Lotor knew I let Allura escape and helped you, so he used me to make a spell that turns her into Lance so Keith will make the vow of everlasting love to her and when that happens, Lance will die" Donnie replies "This is bad! We gotta stop this" Lance says "I'll have to fly to the castle" Romelle agrees "I have a potion that breaks the spell. If we get to Keith's Kingdom together, Lotor's plan will absolutely positively fail" Leo says "Then that's where we're headed. Donnie, get those mechanical wings. Mikey, you and Raph keep an eye on Keith. Lance will be on the lookout while Romelle and I wait for his signal" Raph says "That's a plan"
