A fifteen year old boy galloped in a chandelier lit room with a girl who shared the same face on his back.

"Yay! Faster Big brother!" Squealed the girl with delight as she wrapped her arms around his neck. The dark haired teenage boy laughed and practically collapsed on the king-sized bed in the room. The girl pouted over the fun ride that was now over.

"Rey, it gets tiring after a while!" Laughed the boy rather loudly. The two gripped each other's hands and continued their giggling fits when the dark haired boy towers her small petite figure like a protective wolf wrapping his little youngling safely. Once their enthusiasm subsided for a bit, Ben walked off to their treasure chest and opened it. Rey walked over to where her big brother stood and tilted her head.

"Big brother, what are you getting out of there?" She questioned as she tugged on one of her silky, brown triplet buns. Ben pulled out a small toy tiara and play sword.

"Crowning my princess." He smiled as he walked over and placed the small tiara on her head. Rey grinned cutely and curtsied.

"So what are you going to do with the sword?"

"I'm going to be your knight. Remember, in the bed time stories Mom told us, that when the princess was trapped in a tower with a dragon guarding it, the knight went to fight the dragon and save her. Afterwards, he asked her for a kiss." He replied. Rey giggled some more.

"Then fight the dragon and save me!" She acted out as she instantly took her imaginary role. Ben started jabbing in random directions and spinning around, letting out his dramatic battle cries. He poked one of the pillows on the their bed as if giving the finishing blow to the monster.

"My princess is saved!"

Rey took that as her initiative to run forth into Ben's long arms as he picked her up and twirled her.

"My hero!" She exclaimed happily wrapping her around his neck. Ben looked at her and smiled.

"This is the part where the Princess gives the knight a kiss." He reminded. The two turned red for a second, being that Rey is still rather young to understanding the true meaning of kisses while Ben knows a little since he is now in his teens learning that kisses are often acceptable at his age, but the blush quickly faded. Rey went forward and gave her elder brother a peck on the cheek. He grabbed her hands and they twirled into a ballroom dance. Though no music was being played, the two continued waltzing on the polished tile beneath them, using their happiness as their anthem. Of course, the erupted into even more laughter.

"That was fun, Big Brother! Let's do it again sometime!" Rey stated before their mother, Leia entered the room. She smiled and walked towards her elder son and adopted young daughter.

"Playing games again?"

"Yes!" Rey answered simultaneously.

"What were you two kids playing?"

"I was a princess, and Big Brother was my knight!" Rey giggled.

"How sweet, in some stories, the princess ends up marrying the knight too." Their mother added before her husband entered the room. A sparkle erupted in the young girl's eyes.

"Really? Then that means I'm going to marry my big brother, too!" Rey exclaimed. Their parents giggled while Ben just softly smiled at the childish statement, knowing their little princess' imagination fairy tale is so innocently sweet.

"Is that so?" asked their father, Han. Rey grinned and embraced her big brother's neck tightly causing him to chuckle at his little sister's love for him.

"Yes!"

The two adults looked at each other and chuckled along with Ben. The woman walked over to Rey's bed and pulled open the top sheet.

"Come on Rey, time for Bed." Leia faced her son and amusingly smirked. "That means, you too young man. You have school tomorrow." Ben nervously laughed and nodded as their mother motioned the young girl to come over to her dresser and put on her sleep attire. Rey nodded and did as she was told while Ben stood up then walked towards his mother to assist her to dress up his little sister to bed. Rey put on a long white night gown and was completely comfortable with changing in front of her brother, then again, She was still very young and innocent and Ben knows this that his affection for her is sibling love, not romantic. Their father had exited and waiting for his wife outside the door. Their mother pulled the sheets over her adopted daughter, who is now lying next to her big brother sitting beside her laying form, tucking her comfortably.

"Goodnight my darling." She whispered as she went to place a tiny kiss on her forehead. She motioned her son to go to sleep in his own room as he was about to leave the bed, Rey pulled his shirt.

"Big brother, can sleep beside me? I don't want to be alone." Looking at him with her innocent cute eyes.

Chuckled softly, he replied. "Why don't you asked Mom?"

Rey sat up and peeked at her big brother's shoulder to see her mother standing in wait. "Mama, can Big Brother stay with me?"

"Oh sweetie, Ben can't sleep with you, he has his own room to sleep in."

"But mama, I want Big brother to protect me from the monsters when I am alone." She begs her with an adorable sad face that her adopted mother can't resist usually.

"Rey…" She sighed deeply as she tries to make her understand but her son interrupted.

"It's okay, mom, I will just be with her for a while."

"Ben." His mother raised her eyebrows in surprise and looked into her son's calm expression meaning that 'just to make her stop begging you over and over again' kind of face. She understood his gesture and nodded slightly.

"Alright, but you must know Ben, that you school tomorrow and I don't want you to be late for your first day in school. Understood?"

"Yes, mom."

"Okay, Good night my children."

"Good night mom."

"Good night mama." The young girl lay down her head on the pillow as their mother gave them a one last glance before closing the door. She didn't close it all the way, she always left it slightly ajar- being that Rey had a phobia of the darkness. Ben lays down beside his little sister, towering her with his tall figure and embracing her petite form with his long arms around her as Rey wraps her small arms around his waist and her head leaned on his middle chest. Once the siblings started hearing footsteps out of the hallway, Ben remembered that he had forgotten to get their bedtime book from the bookcase near the door. Their mother had stopped reading him bedtime stories once he turned five the same with his adopted little sister's age and now that she is five the same thing will happen to her like he did in his childhood years, believing that they should begin to start maturing early without them. So Ben usually brings the books back to her bed when his mother wasn't looking, knowing how Rey loved to hear them still. He slowly climbed out of bed, signaling Rey not to make any noise, and tip-toed his way to the bookcase. He slipped his hand outwards and started to silently pull the book out. That's when he overheard his parents talking.

"Isn't it just cute how Rey just says the cutest things, darling?" Asked a female voice.

"Eh, it's because she's young. Anything unrealistic a toddler or young child says is cute." Replied the male voice. Ben's eyes widen at the statement. He peeked out of the door's crack to watch his parents' discussion.

"To say she wants to marry her big brother, how adorable. Too bad, she'll grow to find that she can't. She doesn't even know what marriage is."

"Yes, Ben is too old for her, let alone being as adopted siblings, it's unethical. It was rather cute to watch her play with him and say such things, I do agree with you on that one." Finished the male voice before the adults parted into their master bedroom.

Ben bit his lip and held the book tight to his side hip, 'Do I love Rey? As her big brother? … Or … as something else called… No! I loved Rey as my little sister, there's no way I'm feeling this way towards her. She is too young to be with me, she needs to be with someone else like her age when she gets older to be in love with.' He turned and noticed that Rey was now sitting up, her legs still tucked under the sheet. He smiled faintly and made his way over to join his sister. He opened up the book to the chapter named 'Cendrillon'.

"Do you want me to read this story to you, Rey?" Ben asked. He looked up at her to notice her burrowing her eyebrows.

"Is what Mama and Papa said, true? That you can't marry me because you are my big brother?"

Ben's eyes went wide. He took a minute to think about how he'd reply to her. He simply smiled and put a hand on her head.

"No, I'm going to marry you… I promise… " He whispered softly, his mind shocked at his words but decide to make his little Rey of sunshine be happy. The two giggled and dismissed the subject. Ben took a hold of her small left hand with his large right one, locking their fingers like he had did every night. He brought up her hand to his lips and pecked Rey's index finger. He then took his other hand, and traced his finger down to the pages on the book, starting to read the story. Once the story has been finished, Ben had found that Rey was asleep. She slept sideways on her pillow, her petite fingers still laced with his large hand. He bit his lip, remembering his words he said to Rey. The feelings he has for her were just a sibling love, not romantic love. He put his free hand over hair and stroked it softly as he said the same declared words to her when she was an infant… However, the words he said to her is a bit different.

"I promise that I'll forever be your knight. I'll forever be your knight. I'll protect you from any and all the monster who came to you…"

"My Princess…"

Trivia:

*Cendrillon means "Cinderella" in french, the story book that Ben took was based on the music video titled "Cendrillon" sung by Hatsune Miku and Kaito from vocaloid, the music is similar to "Adolescence" but the story is a lot different from the plot.
