And yes, I couldn't quite figure out how to spell the name of Lenny's soverign mini-nation, so I improvise.

"Inexcusable!" moaned Lainy.

"Aww, we was just..."

"Len, you don't understand something; you guys are all but in charge of this town. You have a reputation to uphold! A dignity!"

Lenny gulped. He'd never seen Lainey this mad.

"...I can't imagine how riled the public must be. There may well be riots tonight!"

"Wow!" Lenny piped, earning him a glare from Laverne.

"Lainey, we're real sorry...we're just kinda..." Words failed her, "This royalty stuff's real weird to us."

"I know...it was weird for me to go to college after all of that time at Knapp Street." She groaned, "Guys, I just need for you to work with me for a month.."

"A month?!" Laverne cried, "You said we were only gonna be here two weeks!"

"Well...considering the honeymoon and all..."

"Uh-uh, Lainey, I promised Laverne we was gonna go to Italy for the honeymoon."

"Well, we have a full itinerary for the two of you...dignified appearances that will properly...." At that point, one of the many members of the royal staff burst into the room, excitedly informing Lainy of something in Polish. He handed her a newspaper and scuttled off.

Lainy look a long look at the paper before bursting into laughter. "Well, big brother, you did it to me again." She showed them the paper; a picture of them smiling eagerly at their assembled minions while signing autographs. "You're a sensation." She said.

Two hours later, Laverne stood at the top of a golden gilt staircase. At her feet were a thousand or so people in fancy dress; some of them her friends; many of an international set. She recognized Warren Bettey and prayed that she wouldn't tilt over.

She clutched at the dark red bag they had brought her; after flatly turning down the idea of a hoop skirt, they had dressed her simply in a heavy, ornately beaded golden gown. Her hair, extensions in place, shone loose about the middle of her back, her exotic makeup causing her to look princess-like.

"Couldn't they do anything about that nose?" she heard someone his behind her. She turned, glaring, as the tips of her golden shoes poised at the landing.

And then she saw Lenny, holding on to a pair of golden drapes for support; his eyes were bright with surprise and desire. She noticed, amused, that his cummerbund was too high again..

This would be their great introduction for royalty. And as excited as she was, some tiny bit of her wished that she were back home in New York, curled up on her couch with Lenny watching old re-runs.

"Introducing the Countess Obligee..Miss Laverne Marie DeFazio.." Announced a voice, loud and strong, somewhere below. Everyone heard and turned to look at her.

Smiling fakely, she began her descent.
