"Okay, well I was talking to my mother a couple weeks ago and she told me..." Marina says, "Well I'm not supposed to say a word!"
"Oh, come on, I'm not going to tell anyone!" You say hitting her with her teddy bear.
"Well, your parents and the Queen have been planning for you two to..." She says giving you the ‘You know' eyes.
"To what?" You ask her frustrated.
"Well, they are planning for you two to......... get together, now that your older at least."She says with a grin.
"What??? I don't want to get together with William, how does your mother know about this?" You ask.
"Well... you know.. Your mother told her, I think it would be great! You could be the queen of England!" She says dancing around the room.
"If you want that kind of life style, you marry William, it's not going to happen! Trust me!" You tell her. Who and when did they decide this, you ask yourself. There was no possible way, they must have at least given' up hope by now, they should know you didn't like William,.
You start to wonder if that was why they got you two together after so long. Why would they do this? You could choose your own mate!
"Hello?" Marina waves her hand in your face disturbing your thoughts.
"huh?" You ask.
"Look, it's just a thought, plus, if you don't want to I'm sure they won't force you, but maybe you should try it out!" She tells you, "There's no loss to it."
"Yes there is!" You tell her.
"What?" She asks.
"My pride , my dignity, don't forget my reputation!" You tell her, " I have to get him back anyway, I think we'll join him for that Rugby game on Friday!"
"No way! Not after he was nice to you!" Marina says.
"uh huh! Then maybe he'll learn, maybe his grandmother will learn!" You tell her.

"Alright! Now put this in his water bottle." You tell Marina handing her the exlax you brought from home. You had snuck into the change rooms before the game to finish your plan.
"Why am I helping you?" Marina asks pouring the whole bottle into his water.
"Because you're my best friend in the whole wide world!" You say giving her a huge grin.
"Yeah whatever..." She says tightening the lid.
"Okay, come and help me stretch wrap the rest of the toilets." you tell her
"Well why are we doing them all?" She asks placing a sheet of wrap over the first one.
"How do we know which one he'll go in?" You ask her. You figured that the other guys would use the urinals so you wouldn't have to worry, this guy would need the Jon!
"Let's go I think they're coming." You whisper to Marina heading out the side door.
"I can't believe this." Marina says sitting down on the bleachers to watch the game.
"Oh, calm down and stop worrying our plan will be great! Have my plans ever failed?" You ask her.
"Yes! Remember that time you put ants in Williams wine glass and it turned out to be that old womans, she practically had a heart attack!" She tells you.
"But that was the beginning, I learned to be more careful, and that old woman was a bag anyway! She deserved it" you tell her.
Pretty soon the team comes out of the change rooms and you see William holding his specially brewed bottle of water.
"If anything goes wrong this is the last time I help you." Marina whispers spotting William
You just keep on watching the game. William is starting and doing pretty well, but he'll need a drink soon enough you think, He goes off eventually and he takes a long gulp of his fresh water!, obviously not tasting the difference he goes back to playing, You watch and watch and nothing happens, eventually you figure you didn't put enough in.
Suddenly you see him stop. He takes hold of his stomach and a disgusted look comes across his face, The coach looks at him and asks what's wrong but he just stands there and doesn't say a word, You and Marina stare at him, waiting for something to happen when he runs off of the field and into the bathroom.
"Yes!!!!" You say under your breath excited from your victory.
"He better be okay!" Marina says looking concerned
"Oh, he'll be perfectly fine." you tell her
You finish watching the game and notice William hasn't come out yet, You see the assistant coach come out and say something to the coach, the coach nods and hey both continue cheering and coaching the team, You figure he is fine and laugh to yourself. It worked!
After the game you and Marina decide to get a ice cream cone from the concession, when you feel someone tap your shoulder you turn around and....
