I PRONOUNCE THEE STUCK ,

--- OF PIRATE'S SWOOP

This girl was brought up along with goldenlake. Their parents were best friends, and always worked together due to their stations. The two children practically grew up together, with their siblings as well. But for this girl, she always hung out with the eldest goldenlake, despite how much younger then him she was. They just happened to click well, and even went into the queen's riders simply because he was present there. If he weren't so much older, she might have even been together with him, or at least tried to, but for now she simply sees him as an older friend and a secret crush.

But when her mother starts to notice it, she and goldenlake's father have a drink or two (or possibly more) and think on how they could get them together. It occurs to them after a few hours, and after speaking to their spouses, they all agree that the two of them shall be married. This girl was told the next morning that she was to be married to her friend goldenlake. Not asked. Told. And now that she's faced with the idea that she will have to be stuck with him without even being able to choose, she doesn't want him. She wants him as a friend. Will she fight her parents? Will she just let fate run it's course, and work out something with goldenlake so that it's not like they are together at all? Or will she do something completely different, like eloping with someone different before her parents can stop her?
