Kronk and Pacha both stared at Kuzco, expectantly. “Maybe” said Pacha “but have you considered the possibility that Malina won’t ever marry you?”

“She didn’t turn me down” Kuzco protested “she just needs time to think it through”. “So, she turned you down flat?” Said Kronk. Kuzco was with Kronk and Pacha, standing in a corridor looking at a portrait of Malina. The quartet stopped playing and quietly but swiftly left. “Okay, you can knock that off now” Kuzco said, arms crossed. The string quartet switched to sad music. She ran off before Kuzco could say anything more. “I…don’t know if being Empress is something I can do” Malina stammered quickly “or if we’re ready for this….not right now”. “It was all very thoughtful” Malina said “and I know that’s a big step for you….there was nothing wrong with the proposal”. “Come on” he said “what have I done wrong? We had a romantic evening at the palace, I had Kronk make all your favourite dishes, and we had a super romantic moonlight walk, I’ve brought you to the fountain where we met, got a great ring that cost me my vacation budget for the year, and hired a string quartet, found a spot where the moonlight shines directly at us to set the mood…what is the problem?” She was in fancy clothes and they had just had a big dinner at the palace. It was night time and they were in the moonlight. He and Malina where next to the fountain at Kuzco Academy, where he first laid eyes on her. He was kneeling down on one knee, in his emperor clothes, holding a ring with a large diamond, with a string quartet playing in the distance.
