Calix sat alone at the Royal Dining table, finishing his food that his Royal Cooks had cooked for him. He was always a slow eater. Calix finished his food, placed the plate that he was eating off of into a sink, and made his way to his "Royal Bedroom" as everyone called it. He just said his room. Calix went straight to his bed, laid down on it, and began to think... He was ruling a planet now, which isn't usually something that a normal poor Teenager gets to do every day. Calix needed time to soak it all in... He was afraid of public speaking, but now he's the face of an entire planet. |Pretty Sure that includes speaking to large groups of people...| Calix thought to himself when that fact came to his mind. |Maybe some music will come my nerves...| He thought as he grabbed the remote control to his CD player and pressed the play button, which made the song "Hold Me Down" by Motion City Soundtrack start playing. Calix started feeling tired and drifted off into a deep sleep about halfway through the song...

"CALIX, You need to wake up right now! The citizens are expecting you outside for a big speech about what you can do for this planet and it's government!" One of Calix' Royal Advisers yelled as they busted through the door.
"Huh...?" Calix said, sitting up and rubbing his eyes.
"HURRY UP!" The Adviser yelled as he pulled Calix out of the bed and started dragging him to the balcony that he would make his speech from. When Calix was shoved in front of the microphone on the balcony, he nearly shit himself right there when he saw the amount of people that were there, waiting for his every word.

Calix thought for a moment, inhaled, then spoke.
