When's the coronation?

Who: Ashley, Zack, Cubie
Where: Drive Room
When: Soon after their arrival...
"Shore leave? The Blue Dwarf is here on Shore Leave?" Cubie frowned.
"Where's the Captain?"
Ashley thought for a moment. "Oh, he was fired. He and the ship's janitor
went planetside. London, I think."
Zack smiled. "London. Now THERE'S a place I've been meaning to go to.
Once the center of the Empire that the sun never sat on, or something like
that. That's where that clock is - Big Bob."
Cubie sighed. "Big BEN, Zack. C'mon. You're about to get your wish."
Before Ashley could say anything, a hole opened up in the deckplates, and
the pair dropped from sight. An instant later, the tube sealed up and the
deck looked as though nothing had happened. If Ashley had indeed had the
means to question the deck, it would have denied everything.
(Thanks for the mooch, Ashley. Sorry they didn't stick around to chat -
maybe next time.)
<Buckingham Palace>
OOC: I'm assuming Onion meant for "Meet the Parents" to be posted before
"The Queen" - if not, then disregard this scene and I shall begin anew.

Zack and Cubie flipped out of the ST-jump tube and landed face-first in the
well-manicured lawn. Dusting themselves off, they looked around. The Space
Eagle was just roaring off into the stratosphere. Cubie grumbled. "Oh,
smeg! We just missed them. Hold on. I think we can land on that shuttle-"
"Wait up, sweetie. The captain is right over there." Zack pointed to
Seymour and Katrina who had just run out of the Palace and were staring up
at the section of sky where the Space Eagle had just disappeared.
The pair ran over to the captain just in time to hear the last of Katrina's
statement.
-----Snip-----
"You're the King, even if only for a while, and it doesn't effect me in
anyway. I'm not a citizen of this country, so I'm not your subject. And I'm
not your wife, so I shouldn't be getting treated like a Queen, because I'm
not. I feel a little out of place."
-----End Snip-----
The Richards stopped in their tracks. "The King?"
Zack dropped to one knee and bowed his head. "Your Majesty!"
Katrina glared at Seymour. "See?!"
Cubie smacked Zack on the back of the head. "Knock it off, Zack. They
don't treat kings like that anymore." She looked up at Seymour uncertainly.
"Do they?"
