At the throne room, Honest John was on his throne, twiddling the sea flower Wendy has given him with his fingertips, while waiting for Dijon. He didn't know Wendy had set her heart set on Peter, but he was certain that Dijon might know.
"Let's see, now...." he chuckled, smiling. "Oh, who could the lucky mer-boy be?"
Then he looked up to see Dijon at the entrance. He cleared his throat as he hid the flower behind him and said, "Come in, Dijon."
Dijon took a deep breath and muttered under his breath, "I mustn't overreact. I must remain calm." Then he walked inside the throne room and stood, facing the fox. When he got there, Dijon spoke in a really high pitched voice, "Yes-"
But he cleared his throat, and he spoke in a normal voice, "Yes, Your Majesty."
"Now, Dijon, I'm concerned about Wendy." Honest John said, "Have you noticed she's been acting peculiar lately?"
Dijon felt like he was losing his cool. "Peculiar?" he repeated.
Honest John drawled, looking at his trident. "You know, moaning about, daydreaming, singing to herself....You haven't noticed, hmm?" he said, looking at Dijon again, waiting for an answer.
Dijon's eyes widened, and he looked scared. "Oh, well, I-"
"Dijon...." said Honest John, getting a bit anxious.
"Hmmm?"
Honest John signaled Dijon to come closer, and the Arabic dog did. "I know you've been keeping something from me...." he said.
Dijon gulped. He smiled very sheepishly, saying, "Keeping...something?" He then began to sweat.
Honest John was expecting an answer. "About Wendy?"
Dijon looked down and felt his swimming trunk-clad legs shaking like crazy. The meerkat composer had to use his hands to stop them as he look back at Honest John. "Wendy?" he repeated.
Eagerly, Honest John inched closer to Dijon, smiling devilishly. "In love?"
That did it. Dijon couldn't hold it any longer.
"I TRIED TO STOP HER, SIR!" he wailed, as he got on his knees. "SHE WOULDN'T LISTEN! I TOLD HER TO STAY AWAY FROM HUMANS! THEY ARE BAD! THEY ARE TROUBLE, THEY-"
But the Arabic dog was cut off on his sentence by Honest John. "Humans?"
Honest John looked confused for a while. At the word "humans", his face changed from confusion to anger.
"WHAT ABOUT HUMANS?!?!?!?!?!?!?!" he yelled angrily.
Dijon stopped begging. Oops! Guess the fox really didn't know!
"Humans?" Dijon repeated. Then he chuckled nervously and said, "Ho ho ho ho....Who said anything about humans?"
Then Honest John clutched Dijon's throat and swam off.
