Jimmy's Perspective:

"Today's the day." Jimmy said to Lizzie.

He was looking at himself in the mirror, Lizzie sitting on his bed.

"I'm going to do it." Jimmy said, "I'm going to propose to Scott."

"But what about dad?" Lizzie asked.

Jimmy hesitated, "It's time for me to find my life partner, same for Scott, and I love him."

Lizzie smiled and hugged Jimmy.

"When's he arriving?"

"Should be in a couple minutes."

"I can leave and go back home." Lizzie offered.

"No... I want you to stay... at least in the other room."

Lizzie laughed.

Then she and Jimmy went outside to wait.

But after five minutes, Scott didn't arrive.

Gem did, looking incredibly worried.

"Gem? What are you doing here?" Lizzie and Jimmy asked her, running up to her.

"I'm really sorry Jim. I tried to make him stay, but... he..."

"What happened?" Jimmy asked.

"Scott... he left. I don't know where. But he's... he's not okay and he's alone. I don't know if he's ever coming back. He took off his crown." Gem pulled out the Rivendell crown.

Lizzie gasped.

"I didn't want to tell him that you were planning on proposing to him, so he left."

Jimmy was frozen in place.

Scott left. Jimmy thought. He left. And he may never come back.

Jimmy started to cry.

Lizzie and Gem rushed over to him.

"It's okay! It'll be okay!" Lizzie said, trying to sooth her brother.

"Yeah! We'll find him." Gem said, though her face showed that she didn't believe her words.

Jimmy just cried. Scott left his kingdom, his people, and Jimmy.

Why didn't he tell me? Jimmy started punching the ground, crying.

Today was supposed to be the best day of my life...

Jimmy got up and walked back inside his house, his hands bleeding.

He had no purpose. He felt as though he lost apart of him. Lost, ended, and... guilty that he couldn't stop Scott.

He lost the crown to Joel the other day, but Joel hasn't come up with his rule yet, so Jimmy didn't have anything to do.

"I'm going to bed." Jimmy said.

Lizzie and Gem exchanged concerned looks but didn't stop him.

Jimmy didn't sleep though, he just stared at the ceiling.

The feeling of being lost had turned into feeling like his heart had just been sliced in half.

Where are you, Scott. Please come back.

Jimmy cried.

Meanwhile

Scott woke up and walked outside of his hut.

I think this is a good spot since I can't hurt anyone else. And hopefully... I can learn too... control my powers. Maybe use them for good builds that are better than this little cabin. And... make a new life for myself out here.

Scott smiled to himself. It seemed like a good idea... until his mind flashed to Jimmy.

Jimmy didn't know he left.

Scott got the urge to go back and see him, but he knew he would just hurt Jimmy.

Let's just have a look around.

Scott walked a bit far from his hut.

He wanted to make a better home out of his ice magic.

He took a deep breath and focused.

A white light flashed...

But nothing happened.

"Dammit!" Scott said in anger.

He kicked the ground and stomped back into his hut.

-

"Jimmy, you're just going to make yourself depressed." Lizzie said.

Jimmy was lying in his bed, crying. The longer Scott was gone, the more painful Jimmy's feelings got.

"But there's no point. Scott's gone, we don't know where he is, and he doesn't want to see any of us."

"I know what will make you feel better." Lizzie said.

"Scott?"

"Well, yes..." Lizzie trailed off, "But I know something else."

"What?" Jimmy was sitting up now.

Lizzie smirked and said, "Killing salmon."

Jimmy smiled. It was true, he loved killing salmon.

He got up and he and Lizzie went on a killing spree.

It really helped him get his mind off Scott.

Until Katherine came over.

"I just heard about Scott!" Katherine said, running over to Jimmy.

"Me and Gem were flying around the kingdoms, but we didn't see him."

"He's probably further out." Lizzie said.

How far is he? Jimmy thought. I guess he really did hate us... hate me.

Jimmy walked back into his house to be welcomed by his father.

"Why do you look so glum? I just heard from your sister that you were killing salmon."

Jimmy nodded, still thinking about Scott. The painful feelings all came back to him.

"Are there too many problems with being ruler?"

Jimmy shook his head. He just became the Cod Father of the Cod Empire, but it didn't give him that many problems.

"What is it then?"

Jimmy shrugged.

And that was the wrong move, because his father started getting mad.

"I heard that the king of Rivendell... Scott, was it?"

Jimmy nodded.

"He left. And no one knows where he is. Is that what you're sad about?"

Jimmy knew that there was no more lying. His father knew he was gay.

"Yes." He whispered, looking at his father with tears in his eyes.

"I'm sorry?"

"Yes." Jimmy repeated, louder.

His father got up in his face and shouted at him.

"You, James, are ruler of the Cod Empire. You have to find a WIFE to marry."

Jimmy didn't say anything.

"You were told to find a wife. But no."

Jimmy started getting mad but didn't say anything.

"You've been off with that idiot Scott."

That was it. Jimmy had lost it.

"I DON'T FUCKING CARE! I LOVE HIM AND YOU CAN'T DO ANYTHING ABOUT IT! SO, WHAT IF I'M GAY?! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE SUPPORTING ME! YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME FOR WHO I AM!" Tears were running down his face now.

His dad smacked Jimmy.

"You are the worst son ever. I never want to see you in my empire again!"

Don't you mean MY empire?! I'm the king now! Jimmy wanted to say that, but no words came from his mouth.

"You are a disappointment; you bring shame to our name. And you'll regret this day. You'll regret saying these things to me and being gay-"

"I DON'T HAVE ANY CONTROL OVER MY FEELINGS!" Jimmy shouted, "No one does. Not you, not mum, not Lizzie, NO ONE."

His dad was about to snap back, but Jimmy kept shouting.

"I don't give a SHIT if you ban me. You'll be doing me a favor. I'll be HAPPY. Free from you."

His dad punched him in the stomach, making him fall to the floor.

"I hope you're happy." His dad said.

"I'll be happier than you when you're in hell." Jimmy said, then he picked himself up, and with what little energy he had left, took off flying.
