Chapter Thirty-Nine

The treats were given to the brides who soon passed them on because the gold wrapped candies would not stop coming out of the bag. Princess Alice has it now, and she brings it out for special occasions.

Robert my Mother, Sandra thank me for the 100 million dollars in raw diamonds. Robert where did you get the jewels?

That night while Rosemarie was combing Alice’s hair

Alice asked Robert, Dear how about those diamonds?

Well, honey-bun Maria and I discovered them.

Rosemarie was grinning because she knows how Alice hates the series of honey-bun nicknames.

Robert, I have a new nightgown on if you want me to keep it on forever don’t ever call me any of those honey-crap nicknames.

Alice when I was chasing Maria down the stairwell to the new world, I stumbled and smashed my face into the rock wall. I spit out a small diamond. Two weeks later the way back, we stopped at the spot where I spit out the diamond. The Soldiers had given me a few small portable power tools and a duffel bag. We stayed for two days at the iron door and dug up a mess of diamonds. We had a duffle bag full of them. I asked the Sergeant to give each of our fathers, twenty-five percent of the gems, and to bury the rest for our Court. So, my dear, we can start our court off with four hundred million in cash.

‘Honey-Duck.’ We can pay our Soldiers for years, yelled Alice.

The Submarine Commander requested his officers report to the situation room. There were twenty officers in his command, fifteen men, and five women, including Rosemarie.

The Commander said it is evident we will be contacting the New Land’s people shortly. Intelligence has found a Television transmission coming

from an island twenty-five miles East of here. We will send an Expedition Force soon. There is a mist blanketing the island so we will be using drones and robotic devices to explore the island.

We believe a military weapon based on this island has shot down one of our drones. I have requested our other units in this ocean to back us up. They won’t be here for a few days. Meanwhile Rosemarie, please secure the Prince and the Princess and that large mountain cat they have with them.

Someone suggested we ask Robert and Alice for their assistance with any prisoners we capture, owing to their mind reading skills.

The commander continued, yesterday I talked to the Princess in the cafeteria. We had a late snack together she asked me a thousand questions about how this submarine runs, the Princess worked in the boiler room during the night shift to get an understanding of how our engines work. Afterward, the crew took a picture of her, with them. She told me she and the goofball would be happy to help with anything.

Alice, the Brooklyn girl, was all ready to go exploring. She wished to discover what was in the ‘New Ocean.’ Her Mother Queen Sandra has given her the entire ‘New Land.’ Now the Princess must travel there and declare it to her Royal Court. The Submarine ‘Princess Alice’ will take her and her new husband to the New Land so The Princess can claim it.

The Submarine picked up their valuable guests at the Brooklyn Navy Yards. The crew had put up signs stating ‘Honeymooners’ this way. It infuriated the Commander. But, Alice through it was adorable, so she autographed each sign.

The Sub was proceeding as Alice came out of the bathroom and asked Robert ‘What’s up honey?’ She was giggling when he first kissed her neck and face.

Tony and Gloria took Joeann and Steven to Paris. Billy and Sarah when to Spain.

Elizabeth needed to explore the new land.

Robert told her that Maria was going with them because she could sniff danger a mile away. At night the couple had supper with the boat’s officers. During supper, the commander asked for the Prince and Princess help and told him the following:

The Soldiers have been monitoring the native’s airwaves of the new lands. There was television service on one of the channels they were showing reruns of the Brooklyn’s Friday Night Fights.

We have been sending drones from our sub looking for a place where our boat can dock. The problem from the beginning has been the fog. It covers a reasonable portion of the land twenty-four-hour a day. We believe the mist is human-made.

One of our drones has been shot down, so we brought in some sophisticated equipment and scientists to find out who did it, how was it done and how to stop it from happening again.

Right away they found and destroyed the launching site. The location is about twenty-five miles from here.

Alice jumps out of her chair and said count ‘Maria’ and me in. Alice said all they were doing was working on their suntans and sleeping and bumping food from the Navy guys, anyway.

The chief of naval operations, Admiral Davies, said we are confident that the local native population is small. A water sample taken from near the beach shows only a bare minimum of human activity. There is just a trace of chemicals and no industrial waste.

But, since they shot down one of our drones, we know there are military weapons on the island. The army will be cautious about checking out the place. We have been instructed by your Father King John and your Mother, Elizabeth not to alter their culture in any way.

As you can see the Island is hidden by smog. The first pictures show an empty beach with a small amount of tropical plant life. The beach was about the size of two football fields.

Our Navy sent in a walking robotic device to find out what was on this island, that found nothing, but a small beach as mentioned. But, surprise, surprise after a hundred yards, a small town with a train station appeared. Offhand, it looked like an empty offseason beach resort.

The language on the business’ signs was unknown, but it had a familiar feeling to it. One could see there were a few smalls motels; there was a room cleaning cart parked outside an open door.

A group of small storefronts was waiting for the Robotics: A beach shop, filled with umbrellas, beach folding chairs, sand pails and shovels, swimming glasses, beach balls and a ton of other stuff a couple of restaurants and a large nightclub, called the ‘Casablanca.’

There was a low rumbling noise coming from the twenty-five Soldiers who were watching and analyzing the Robotics’ film. The sound turned into shouts; then everyone was standing and clapping.

Because, in the bathing suit shop, there was a mannequin that looked just like the Princess holding a pair of Robert’s fighting trunks. Pointing at another mannequin who looked just like Prince Robert hiding behind a palm tree.

Meanwhile, Robert and Alice were on their yacht speeding towards the island in question. The two of them didn’t feel any hatred coming out of the place.

Alice grabbed Robert’s hand as they entered the fog, and within ten feet, they saw a small beach with a few tropical plants.

Robert and Alice were wearing bathing suits. He had hidden Alice’s
bikini.

Robert said let’s get this over with and took a few steps into the mist, which disappeared, leaving the surrounding area clear as a bell.

It delighted the Navy that after the beached was X-rayed, and they found no hidden traps, and the air was breathable.

Alice signaled her kitchen staff, on their yacht that the beach was a beautiful spot for a picnic.

Alice was searing for seashells. While a white folding table was set for lunch, a hundred Soldiers landed on the beach and started to crawl on the ground while Alice all confused as usual asked a decorated Sergeant for a menu.

Laughing, the soldier, took her hand, and he kissed it.

The menus appeared with a cold bottle of champagne. They used the Royal Silverware.

Alice was starving she ordered the French Onion soup, a bouillabaisse, beef bourguignon. Robert had the fish, and she tried to get some. Alice turned to Maria and looked at her plate of raw fish and received a hiss.

The Soldier’s contact with a new civilization was being televised by channel nine (Brooklyn). The entire World was watching their Prince and Princess having a picnic in a new world and with a mountain lion. They were in hysterics over her behavior.

It turned out the place was a resort town, and it was offseason right now. As Robert and Maria were waiting for lunch, Alice was wandering (Right in the middle of the advancing army) looking for seashells. Every time she recognized a Soldier, she said something like ‘hello Timmy, how is your Mother?
