SHIROKUMA : PRINCESS TINE ! you're back ! 🤩🥳 we have been eagerly awaiting your arrival all day and i'm sure everyone else at the palace shares the incredible happiness i feel from seeing her beautiful majesty again ! 😩😍🙈

( SHIROKUMA quickly takes his princess' bags and even though he isn't very strong he persists and pours all of his energy into making sure her precious pink suitcases don't touch the ground )

SHIROKUMA : we've been doing some renovations recently, and some parts of the palace might look new to you ! would you like me to give you a tour ? 🥰

SHIROKUMA : you would ? of course ! let's start with the CUTENESS CAFE ! right this way, your majesty ! 👉

( PRINCESS TINE and SHIROKUMA walk towards the CUTENESS CAFE ... )

( nom, nom, nom ... )

( PRINCESS TINE and SHIROKUMA arrive in the CUTENESS CAFE )

SHIROKUMA : welcome to the CUTENESS CAFE ! it was designed by a famous architect named HYUNJIN ! 🤪🤭 he said he had been going through a creative rut before he came here and saw a portrait of your majesty on the wall, and he said that suddenly at the sight of your beautiful face he was struck with inspiration again ! 😱 he said that this cafe is the prettiest thing he has ever designed, but that it's beauty will never compare to yours ! 🤩🙏

( two sumikko gurashi bounce over )

TONKATSU : your majesty ! i'm so happy to see you ! would you like to join me and the others ?

EBI : princess tine ! we're all so glad you're here ! please join us for some snacks !

( princess tine and the sumikko gurashi sit down at a table )

EBI : we were in the middle of having a tine party ! it's what we call tea parties here ! 🤪 hehe i actually made these cookies myself ! please try one ! 🤩🙏

TONKATSU : oh my god EBI stop trying to force the princess to eat your cookies ! 😒😑 your majesty, there's something i was asked to give you ! ☺️ EMMA asked some of us to give you little notes she wrote as you go along on your tour ! here's the first one !

ASKAHAHAHAHA 🤪😊💖

( PRINCESS TINE folds up the note and puts it away )

EBI : EMMA's kind of weird ... 😒every night she has a " CHRISTINE FANGIRL SESSION " and she locks herself in her room for hours and sobs over how cute you are and flops around on her bed and screams " I LOVE YOU ! " at your twin COOKY plushies !  it's impossible to sleep nowadays because you can always hear her screaming till 2AM ! 😒😖

TONKATSU : and she even built a whole train track from new york to california so she could come see you ! she's been training on the treadmill to run all the way to cali but she's too bad at running and decided to just make a train track instead ! we asked her if it was really necessary and she yelled " YES IM SUFFERING FROM SEVERE CHRISTINE DEPRIVATION SYMPTOMS AND I URGENTLY NEED TO SEE HER " like a madwoman and went right back to placing the tracks ! 😒 ... and everyday she beats up all the sleazy boys and mean boys and dry boys in the CUTE BOYS WAITING ROOM so harshly that we keep getting complaints ! 😖💥

SHIROKUMA : but hey !  speaking of the CUTE BOYS WAITING ROOM, should we make that our next stop ? 🤪🤙 we should bring the first aid team with us though, because i think some of the boys waiting there might pass out when they see her majesty in real life in all her beauty for the first time ... 🙊

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi parade walk towards the CUTE BOYS WAITING ROOM ... )

( oh my god, oh my god, oh my god ... )

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi parade arrive in the CUTE BOYS WAITING ROOM )

SHIROKUMA : welcome to the CUTE BOYS WAITING ROOM !  as you must know, your majesty, you're very popular with the boys ! 🙊🤪🤙 hundreds of them from all over the world come flocking to UWU PALACE every week and we herd them all into this room to "wait" to see you ... we thought that if we made them wait for long enough they'd get tired and give up, but they're far more persistent than i could have ever imagined !

( the boys look up at the princess and their eyes turn into hearts )

CUTE BOY #1 : oh my god ! it's PRINCESS TINE ! 😭

CUTE BOY #2 : your majesty !  i had heard legends of your beauty but even the gorgeous paintings of you that i've seen could never hope to capture the absolute perfection and flawlessness of your true form ! 😩🙏💖😭

( several boys pass out, while others shriek loudly as they gaze upon the beauty of their princess )

( one boy lets out a strangled sob and screams " YOU'RE SO BEAUTIFUL I LOVE YOU " before fainting )

TONKATSU :  oh that's just EUNWOO !  😒 he's been here for months waiting to see you !  he's so whipped for you it's unreal ! one time someone just showed him a picture of you and he passed out for 3 days  !  i'm surprised he didn't completely die when he saw you in person ! 🙊

CUTE BOY #1 : PRINCESS TINE ! 😭 can you please say my name ! i just want to hear it come out of your mouth  😩🙏 it's SUNWOO ! 😭😩

PRINCESS TINE : SUNWOO ... ?

( SUNWOO faints )

EBI : oh that's just lovely ! 😒 now that's a total of ... nineteen unconscious boys for us to deal with !  they're so terribly troublesome ! 😤

SHIROKUMA : wow, well that was eventful !  let's leave before PRINCESS TINE accidentally kills someone with her beauty ! that would be an awfully messy lawsuit ! 🙊🤪 should we head on over to the PLUSHIE ROOM ?

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi posse walk towards the PLUSHIE ROOM ... )

( squish, squish, squish ... )

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi posse arrive in the PLUSHIE ROOM )

TONKATSU : welcome to the PLUSHIE ROOM !  this is where we keep all of your favorite plushies !  you've gotten quite a few gifts since you've last been here, your majesty !  sanrio sent you the biggest RILAKKUMA plushie ever created !  it's the fluffiest one they've ever made !  ooh, and also BT21 made you a special jumbo one-of-a-kind COOKY plushie !  JUNGKOOK himself came to deliver it ! 🙊😩🙏

EBI : hah ! TONKATSU wouldn't stop talking about how hot he was for like three days after he came over !  🤪 

TONKATSU : ugh ! be quiet EBI ! nobody asked you ! 😒👿

( another sumikko gurashi pops out of a pile of plushies )

TONKATSU :  gah !  where did you come from !? 😳

NEKO : hello !  i'm the plushie guardian !  🤗🌟 i take care of all the plushies here at UWU PALACE and make sure to give them each a regular fluffing-up so they'll be cuddle-ready and squish-ready for our majesty, PRINCESS TINE !  🙆‍♀️👍 also, i have a little letter for you, PRINCESS TINE !  it's from EMMA !  she asked me to give it to you when you came through here !

( PRINCESS TINE opens the note )

EMMA : CHRISTINE WOULDN'T IT BE SO SO FUN TO HAVE OUR OWN PLUSHIE ROOM ONE DAY AHAHEHEHE I PROMISE ILL WORK SO HARD IN SCHOOL SO I CAN GET A GOOD JOB AND BECOME RICH SO I CAN BUY A MASSIVE MANSION FOR YOU AND DEDICATE A WHOLE ROOM TO PLUSHIES !!

( PRINCESS TINE folds up the note and puts it away )

SHIROKUMA : this is my favorite place in the palace !  it's the perfect place to come when you've had a bad day, because you can jump in a giant mountain of soft and comforting plushie friends !  they don't talk much, but they're always right here when you need them !

NEKO : there's one dang plushie who's never "right here" when i need him ! that annoying COOKY plushie is always running off and going missing when i go to find him for his daily fluffing !  😤 i suspect he's taking the train to new york to see EMMA's COOKY plushie to coordinate the first EMMTINE meetup !  he's always telling the other plushies about how it's his ultimate goal to bring EMMTINE together one day !  i wish he'd be a little quicker about it though, it messes up my whole routine ! 👿

EBI : hey, i think i saw COOKY running past the GALLERY earlier !

NEKO : what ? we need to go there now ! i'm gonna catch that little rascal once and for all ! 😤

SHIROKUMA : well, i guess that means we're leaving !  🤪 what do you think PRINCESS TINE, should we go visit the GALLERY ?

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi flock walk towards the GALLERY OF PRINCESS TINE'S EDITS AND GRAPHICS ... )

( woah, woah, woah )

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi flock arrive in the GALLERY OF PRINCESS TINE'S EDITS AND GRAPHICS )

SHIROKUMA : welcome to the GALLERY ! this is where we keep all of your majesty's beautiful edits and graphics ! here in UWU KINGDOM, we are so incredibly blessed to have such a talented and creative princess ! so, we honor you in whatever we can !

( the walls of the gallery are lined with video screens playing PRINCESS TINE's amazing edits and gold frames displaying PRINCESS TINE's gorgeous graphics )

EBI : hah ! TONKATSU are you crying ?

TONKATSU : maybe i am ! 😠 PRINCESS TINE's art is just so pretty it makes me ... feel things !

NEKO : and not to mention the fact that on all her social media accounts she always makes the prettiest themes and aesthetics ! she's so talented that sometimes i think she must have been a gift from the gods to restore beauty and art and loveliness to our world again ! 🥰🤗

( some more sumikko gurashi roll over )

TAPIOCAS : hello PRINCESS TINE !  we're the gallery caretakers !  also, EMMA asked us to give you this letter when you came through ! so here it is ! 🥰

( PRINCESS TINE folds up the note and puts it away )

( the sound of musical instruments drifts into the gallery )

SHIROKUMA : oh my stars ! 😳 is it really 7PM already ?  my, my, my, i really am a bad tour guide ! 😩 please pardon me, princess !  i almost forgot about the special concert we had planned for you in the CONCERT HALL !  EMMA selected some special songs that she asked the SUMIKKO ORCHESTRA AND BAND to play for you tonight !  we should head over there right now to make sure we don't miss any of it !

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi party walk towards the CONCERT HALL ... )

( la, la, la ... )

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi party arrive in the CONCERT HALL )

SHIROKUMA : well, here we are !  and just in time for the concert as well !  oh, and princess !  take one of these pamphlets before you sit down !

( SHIROKUMA hands PRINCESS TINE one of the setlist pamphlets being handed out at the door )

( on stage, a very serious sumikko gurashi with a mustache gets up onto the podium and clears his throat )

CONDUCTOR : hello everyone ! i am the conductor of the legendary SUMIKKO ORCHESTRA AND BAND ! tonight, we are going to be playing a selection of songs that EMMA has asked us to dedicate to our beloved birthday girl, PRINCESS TINE ! before we begin, however, EMMA has also asked me to read a brief message she's written.

( the conductor takes a piece of paper out from his pocket and unfolds it )

EMMA : WHEN I WAS TRYING TO THINK OF WHICH SONGS TO DEDICATE TO YOU FOR YOUR SPECIAL DAY, I FOUND MYSELF PICKING TONS AND TONS OF LOVE SONGS AHSHAHHEHE LIKE OH MY GOSH I JUST AM SO HECKING IN LOVE WITH YOU 🤪😩🙏💖 ALL THOSE SUPER CHEESY LINES IN SONGS IS EXACTLY HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU ASHAHAHA 🙊😩💖 HEHE BUT I REALLY HOPE YOU'LL ENJOY THESE SONGS MY CUTIE PRINCESS ! I FEEL LIKE IF WE HAD A KDRAMA OF OUR OWN THESE WOULD BE LIKE THE SUPER CUTE THEME SONGS PLAYING IN THE BACKGROUND OF ALL OF OUR PLUSHIE SHOPPING SPREES AND MOVIE NIGHTS AND CAFE VISITS 💖🥰 IVE ADDED THEM ALL TO A SPOTIFY PLAYLIST THAT ILL TEXT YOU A LINK TO SO THAT YOU CAN LISTEN TO THEM AS YOU READ THIS IF YOU WANT ! 💖 BUT OMG AS I WAS SAYING, CHRISTINE I LOVE YO --

( the conductor frowns and squints at the paper )

CONDUCTOR : the rest of it is so smudged that i can't work out what the words say ... and wait a minute, are those tear stains ?

( the conductor rolls his eyes )

CONDUCTOR : it looks like EMMA cried so hard while writing her love note to christine that her tears smudged all the ink 🙄

THE CROWD : classic EMMA ...

CONDUCTOR : but enough about that !  princess tine, we are truly so honored to have you here to listen to our arrangement !  we practiced for weeks to get everything just perfect for you, your majesty !  because someone as lovely and perfect as you deserves only the best !

( the conductor blushes and bows, and then turns around to begin directing the concert )

( the sounds of violins and trumpets and drums soon fill the concert hall as the SUMIKKO ORCHESTRA AND BAND begins their concert )

( finally, the concert ends with a powerful crescendo, and the crowd erupts into applause )

CONDUCTOR : thank you so much everyone, for coming !  we hope that you enjoyed our show and that you'll --

NEKO : hey ! did you see that ?  i just saw something pink flash in the doorway !  i'd bet you anything it's that demon COOKY !  let's go after him !

EBI : wait what ?  slow down NEKO !  the CONDUCTOR is still talking !

NEKO : who cares !  i'm gonna catch that little rascal once and for all !

( NEKO gets up and runs out of the CONCERT HALL after COOKY towards the EMMTINE MUSEUM )

TONKATSU : why's COOKY heading towards the EMMTINE MUSEUM ?

( SHIROKUMA smiles fondly )

EBI : hey, SHIROKUMA what are you smiling about ?

SHIROKUMA : oh it's nothing ... it's just that ... i have a feeling COOKY has finally fulfilled his goal hehe 💖 should we head out after NEKO ? 😊

EBI : what are you even talking about ?  his goal of bringing EMMTINE together ?  what do you mean --

SHIROKUMA : shh !

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi herd follow NEKO down the hallway towards the EMMTINE MUSEUM ... )

( i love you, i love you, i love you ... )

( PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi herd arrive in the EMMTINE MUSEUM )

??? : SO ANYWAYS !  THIS IS THE FIRST TEXT I EVER SENT TO CHRISTINE, AND THIS IS A SCREENSHOT OF OUR FIRST LATE NIGHT CONVERSATION AND THIS ...

??? : AND THEN OH MY GOSH THIS IS MY FAVORITE !  THIS IS A PHOTO OF THE ONESHOTS WE WROTE EACH OTHER ABOUT OUR CRUSHES AND -- HEY COOKY WHO ARE YOU WAVING AT ?

( the two COOKY plushies are waving at PRINCESS TINE and her sumikko gurashi gang )
