One day of yore, King Mogey and Emperor Smush formed an alliance that joined their countries into one powerful nation called West Eastly. What neither Mogey nor Smush knew, however, was that both of them shared the same devious plan. At their first meeting as joint heads of state, Mogey planned to do away with Smush, while Smush plotted to usurp Mogey, as both of them wanted to become the sole ruler of West Eastly.
Finally the fateful day arrived. The proper paperwork had been filed. The i's had been dotted and the t's had been crossed, which was a fairly easy task since West Eastly had no i's and only two t's. King Mogey and Emperor Smush agreed to meet in the throne room of their new palace in West Eastly City.
"Good day, King Mogey," Smush announced, catching sight of his new ally across the magnificent chamber.
"The same to you, Emperor Smush," Mogey replied serenely. "Shall we sit at our throne?"
"Indeed," Smush replied, and they crossed to the head of the room where a resplendent gold throne had been installed. When they reached it, both monarchs paused warily.
"Looks like this throne ain't big enough for the two of us!" Mogey announced, brandishing a dagger at the same time as Smush pulled cruel looking club from beneath his robes.
"Wait a second," Smush interrupted before the blows could be exchanged. "It looks like the throne might be wide enough to fit both of us after all."
"Right you are, Smush," Mogey replied, lowering his dagger as he took a second look at the golden chair. "Good thing we spent a little extra to get that 'bench throne' from Linens n' Things."
