Finally, when the laughter (and fright) had died down, Starfire raised her hands for silence once more.
"Please, we are almost finished! The final envelope contains the name of our king and queen," she smiled, gesturing at the beautiful golden and silver thrones behind her. "They will also own scepters and select their own music for the dance. Let us find out who our royalty will be!"
She lifted the envelope, peeked inside, and puzzled over it for a moment. The scores were...identical for two of the pairs, and they were at the top. How unusual. But there was only one king and one queen, yes?
Did it have to be that way? She remembered Blackfire, the sister who had taken sole rule of Tamaran, and made a little face. No, perhaps it was better for rule to be shared. That was why there were so many councilors, yes? Both couples had fairly won, and it would be an injustice to deny the crowns to one of them.
"It seems that we have a tie in the votes," she started. "Two couples have received an identical number, each higher than any other. They have both won, and we will invite two more to the royal table!"
With a clap of her hands, the original king and queen thrones pressed together and a second pair appeared next to them. This pair was decorated in a shining black and white, ready for the new kings and queens.
"Our first king and queen of the gold and silver chairs are...Negi Springfield and Sasami Masaki Jurai!" Starfire yelled, thrilled for her dear friend and her Negi-kun. "Our second king and queen, of the black and white chairs, are...Billy Cranston and Ronnae Ryllos!" The princess of ceremonies waved eagerly to Ronnae and the boy who must be her lover. He must be shy...like her.
It was time to come up for their somewhat more involved crowning ceremonies.
