*************************************
*Thud... thud...thud*
The walls of Candysoda Castle trembled, and Cherry Vanilla Dr. Pepper sloshed around in Princess Soda's crystal goblet.
"Strewth! What in Blog's name?!" muttered the Princess. She went to the balcony to see if she could find out what was causing the earthquakes, but the view from her second floor window was filled by two denim-clad knees.
"Scope!" she exclaimed. "Of course... only a giant could make that sort of a racket! G'day mate!"
"Princess Soda, how are you?!" Scope bent down to speak with the Princess face-to face. "I have some news... I am in love! Would you like to meet Cora?"
"Scope! That is tremendous! Of course I must meet her!" squealed Princess Soda, looking around curiously, for surely she wouldn't have missed a giantess, even with Scope blocking the view.
Scope brought his hand round from behind his back and opened it. There, in his palm, stood a tiny, flame-haired pixie (even shorter than Princess Soda, who was rather on the small side), and she was beaming from ear to ear.
"Hello, so happy to meet you!" giggled the pixie, and her enthusiasm was so infectious that the Princess could not help but return her smile.
Cora told Princess Soda the story of how she and Scope had met, with much nudging and winking. Scope chimed in with some unsettling talk about their love having been approved by a deity's robotic messenger, but Princess Soda let it pass.
She was puzzled by one thing, however.
"You two are just adorable! But Scope's so tall, and you're... I mean, how do you... You know what, never mind." said the Princess hastily. "I'm just so happy for the two of you!"

Enjoy, lovebirds!

Well, thank you, Princess Soda von Candy. The pixie has, without the use of magics, cast her enthralling spell upon me.
'tis a spell the seems to be growing stronger every day. And I couldn't be happier.
And for how we... there are some magics that are best kept under (the) cover(s), but I will spill. While her horseless carriage is diminutive, if one slides one's throne backwards and tilts the seat into a more supine position, she was able to chauffer me around with ease, style, and grace.
That's what you were wondering about, correct? If I had to ride with my head out the sunroof. (**wink**)
HEE HEE HEE!!!! Soda and Candy, I adore you! This is mighty freaking brilliant! Can't stop laughing! :-)
Scope - exactly! Thanks for clearing that up.
Cora - Thank you, milady!
