Katamari Forever


Chaper Six: Lonely Hearts

    As the Queen gathered the Prince and his cousins to wake the King, Robo and RoboKing became closer in their shared envy and sorrow. Both of them had fretted about the day where they would be rendered "useless", but judgment day came sooner than expected. On one hand, Robo had a life ahead of her, but she still felt used by her beloved Marie. Her days of servitude for the Queen, her nieces, nephews and son brought a glimmer of love to the Cosmos. With that now gone, Robo dreaded the resume of the Royal Family's toxicity. However, RoboKing approached a fate worse than demolition: replacement. He knew he was not as good as the King, but one of his few joys was watching the katamaris grow along with the maturity of his subjects.

    Just as everything was falling in place, a rude awakening ensued for everyone, including the slumbering King. After breaking his previous record of sleeping for 300 hours, it was time the King rose from his dormancy. As his eyes shot open, a large groan made the ground shake.

    The Queen had missed her husband's company, as she had a soft spot for his childlike wonder for the earth and nature. She kindly smiled at her spouse as she inched towards him, expecting to be embraced. In an attempt to seem less sluggish to his loved ones, the King faced away from everyone as he striked a pose.
