Episode Seven
The Guitar and the Stolen Bracelet
Margaret
“Let me introduce myself to everyone in my truest form, I am Arthur Louis Shiblets the 2nd. I'm here tonight to pass forth a new reign of command. Now that I place this on the top of the crown it acts as the official crown to all other crowns. It's bearer, is now the rightful ruler and head of Library Land. So not to waste anymore of your time, let me introduce to you the new ruler of Library Land. My wife Agatha, the new Bookshelf Queen”.
Not one person in attendance expected this announcement but it shocked Margaret most of all. Somehow her little sister out-smarted her.
“Shiblets, did you put some kind of spell on me?” grunted Margaret
“Why can't I move?” She was pinned to the wall and literally couldn't move.
“Silence her for a second honey” chirped Agatha as she prepared to make a speech. She tried on her new crown and declared
“I'm grateful to be elected as your new Bookshelf Queen. I am honoured”.
King Ernest was outraged, he stood up and shouted “Elected... Who elected you? I, Ernest, the King of Non-Fiction denounce you as....” Suddenly there was a bright flash and Ernest was a book.
"AAAAAHH Yes!!! I finally understand what the emperors of history felt like when they held this power. It's intoxicating how amazing this feels"
Agatha glanced over at the other kings and queens and snickered “There are going to be changes now that I'm in charge”
She banished King Tom and Queen Caroline for no reason at all.
“Who will join them in exile and who'll serve in the new council?”
Agatha was looking at the rest of them awaiting someone to say something.
It was King Neil who spoke “I, King Nei...” and he was struck by the same white flash and disappeared. King Sue, King Stine, and J from fantasy all knelt before Agatha and she agreed that they could stay in their respective sections.
Goldmember hated speeches, any talking for long periods of time would drive him crazy. He hated the royal speech because “too much talking” he would say.
Once it began he didn't see much. He drifted off almost instantly.
He always dreamt of one thing only, gold.
He was addicted to taking it, hoarding it, and collecting it.
Today in his dream he was rowing a boat through the ocean,
headed towards a golden island.
Shiblets made the sound of thunder smash through Central Bookshelf and he stopped daydreaming. He caught sight of Margaret who was still pinned to the wall. He was fixated by something shiny on her wrist.
He looked around for a second to make sure everyone was focused on Agatha and he made his way over to the helpless Queen of Fiction.
“I guess you can't make me a king now, can you?” whispered Goldmember.
He took the bracelet off of her wrist and left in a hurry. No one noticed except Margaret and King Stine saw him do it but Stine didn't say anything because he hated Margaret.
"How about you sister?"
Agatha stopped and looked at her sister.
“Shiblets can you please remove the enchantment and allow her to move”
Shiblet's waved and Margaret fell to the ground,
when she stood up she looked her sister in the eyes.
Agatha spoke saying “Will you fight against me?
or will you choose to rule beside me?
This is probably the most important decision you'll ever have to make”
Margaret continued to blankly stare at her sister with a look of disgust.
It was Agatha that broke the silence by saying
“Sister, why do you say nothing to me? Is the fact that you're not the Bookshelf Queen the reason you hate me now?” Agatha was awaiting a response from Margaret but she said nothing, this made Agatha mad.
“I know the reason you won't speak, it's because I made it law not to speak when I'm speaking. I respect that sister, I do. So I Agatha, Ruler of New Lib- rary Land issue in law number two under my new command: When I, ask a question it's against the law not to provide an answer. Now I ask again sister, will you rule be- side me? We could issue in a new and more productive Library Land. I know it'll be hard for you to live under my command but I feel like you'll come to like it. I ask you now Margaret, my sister, the Queen of Fiction. What is it that you want to do? will you rule by my side?”
Margaret, forced to reply, quickly stated “I, Margaret..."
and cowered down thinking she was going to get banished like the
others but when she wasn't she quickly finished.
I, Margaret, the Queen of Fiction, denounce you as the new Bookshelf Queen”.
Nothing happened.
“Why didn't that work? The laws of Library Land state that if a member of the Royal Council says that sentence...”
Agatha chuckled and replied “touch your head sissy. You don't have a crown anymore, technically you're powerless. I'll still offer you one more chance to join me. You’ll have a ruling position as to which you can earn your crown back. What do you say?”
Margaret stood tall and proud and declared.
“I, Margaret the Queen of Fiction and rightful ruler of Library Land, promise to regain the crown that sits on your head. I am the real Bookshelf Queen and if you banish me, I have a secret power that you don't know about, I'll use it to overthrow you”
"I know everything about you"
For the first time since she was crowned Agatha showed a sign of fear.
She raised her hand and shouted “I'll send you to a place where you'll never see a single person ever again... Let alone over-throw me” She snickered and continued “Before I do, know it's been an honour serving with you for all these years. It will be hard to replace you but... I, Agatha, The Queen of History and Ruler of New Library Land banish you, Margaret! Never to return until I personally deem fit” The flash that banished Margaret was different than the rest. It was purple and lit up the entire room.
Agatha picked up the books that were scattered on the floor,
put them in her bag, and said “Goodbye sister”.
Elvis
Papa Smurf saw Agatha whisper something to Shiblets, who then called over King Kong. He poked Elvis and asked him what they should do to which he replied. “Honestly little buddy, I don't think I know a strong enough song to stop any of this. I think we should get out of here before she banishes us too”
They wanted to run but they heard Agatha addressing the crowd.
“I suggest everyone leave and return to your respective sections.
As of this moment, Central Bookshelf will be now known as the forbidden zone.
From the bottom all the way to the top of Poetry Peak is now forbidden for anyone except royalty. If you are spotted, you'll be labelled a spy and trialed for treason. I will find ways of letting you know the location of the next Royal Meeting in which I will be electing new Kings and Queens”
King Kong picked up Agatha and stormed off. His departure shook the entire shelf causing many things to shake apart or fall down.
Elvis, Robin Hood, and a few others ran through the falling debris but many people became trapped in the or swept up in the mess.
Elvis asked Papa Smurf what song he wanted him to play first but he didn't answer because he wasn't there.
Elvis spotted a group of Oompa Loompas in the distance dragging Papa Smurf away. They were being led by someone covered with a dark hood. The hooded figure turned around and noticed the Cadillac and a dozen Oompa Loompas were headed towards Elvis.
“Elvis let's drive away now! Before they take us too” pleaded Grandpa Smurf to which Elvis replied “You don't understand little buddy, we can get him back because, with my music we can stand up to any army, of any size.
Pop the trunk for me and I shall grab the only weapon I'll ever need in life”
When he stepped out of the car the trunk was open.
He brought out a black and white guitar case decorated with feathers and beads. He placed it on the ground in front of him, staring at the oncoming Oompa Loompas. He took a deep breath and slowly opened the case.
His courage and confidence were instantly turned to fear when he noticed his guitar was missing. He rushed into the Cadillac and drove away with the Oompa Loompas just nearly reaching the car.
Where are the banished Kings and Queens?
Who's she going to choose for their replacements?
Where did Agatha send Margaret?
