"What took you so long?" asked Delilah's mom as Seraphina sat next to her.
"Oh, the person who was scanning me scanned in incorrectly at first. They had to rescan it with someone else." explained Seraphina as she set her purse down between her feet.
"Oh, alright." said Delilah's mom.
"That's weird. I'm a manager of the scanning company, and it's never scanned wrong before." stated Delilah's dad, who was on the other side of Delilah’s mom.
"Well... there's a first time for everything!" joked Seraphina, worried they would find out about her secret.
"Yeah, I guess you're right... what did they say your number was at first?" asked Delilah's dad, puzzled.
"Oh, I uhm- can't remember. But it was far off. That's all I remember." lied Seraphina.
"Okay! Shh... the game's starting!" said Delilah's mom as the dramatic music started to play.
"Phew!" Seraphina sighed, happy to not be interrogated anymore.

"You ready?" asked Denver, the new king.
"As ready as I'll ever be." stated Delilah, who was always nervous.
"You’ll be fine. You always do fine." reassured Denver.
"You're right. I'm just worrying myself over nothing." said Delilah.
"Okay, love birds, it's our time to shine!" exclaimed Carl, the new Jack, who was still not used to not being in charge anymore.
“Hey, remember, I’m the king now.” Denver reminded him kindly.51Please respect copyright.PENANAtKWhaJO5t6
“Oh, right. I’m sorry, I forgot, my king..” said Carl as he bowed to Denver.
“There’s no need to do that, Carl. It’s fine.” explained Denver, surprised by the difference in how he is treated now.
"Alright, shut your useless little mouth's already." scolded Rae, the queen.
Everyone got silent.
"What a brat." muttered Denver to Delilah.
"Yeah." agreed Delilah.51Please respect copyright.PENANACzGqImESLr
"Now I have to deal with her!" whispered Denver.51Please respect copyright.PENANARa7xBEYXLD
"Oh, yeah. Sorry!" whispered Delilah.
"It’s fine, it’s not your fault." whispered Denver.
"Okay, let's go." said Denver as he and Rae walked out onto the field, waving at the audience.
"Alright, you next." said Delilah as she motioned for Carl to leave the preparation room.
"See you out there." said Carl, excited to not have the entire weight of the game on his shoulders.
"See you out there!" exclaimed Delilah as Carl walked out of the preparation room.
"Okay, me next." Delilah whispered to herself as she walked out into the field with the rest of her team and waved at the audience.
