Number the Stars
Chapter 1:
A Forced Relationship

Stella woke up to beautiful golden sunlight streaming through her dorm room window. The golden haired fairy stretched her arms and then looked over at her two suitcases. Letting out a deep sigh she got up and began to look through her clothing in order to divide it between her father's place and her mother's place. Amore floated next to her and seemed to read her mind. "You're wishing that your parents would just get back together, right?"

"I've never understood why they ended up divorcing each other. They seemed like such a happy couple." The female continued pulling clothing into her two bags. While her mood remained dark for some time, she found that she couldn't remain down for a long time. Every so often one of her friends would pop in and say something and Bloom and the others ended up offering various pieces of advice, including things that Stella didn't want to hear, like the fact the clothes didn't matter. Finally though, it was time to head out so that she could head first to her father's place for the summer and then her mother's.

Before she traveled to her own kingdom she would be stopping at a small restaurant in Magix in order to have a last date with Brandon as she wouldn't be able to see him for four long and agonizing weeks over the summer. The suitcases were set to be on route to the two homes and thus she didn't have to worry about it. The nice sunshine from the morning continued and she found herself sitting in the sunshine waiting for her beau. She smiled as he came in and sat down. "I'm going to miss you over the summer vacation Brandon."

"I'm going to miss you too Stella." The two suddenly leaned over and kissed each other on the lips, light and soft just the way she liked it, causing her to let out a giggle of enjoyment. "I'll go and get our food. The usual?"

"Of course!" The golden fairy chimed in, leaning on her arms. He came back and sat down and began to eat his food with the typical zeal that males went at it. Stella however picked at her food and looked at her boyfriend in a rather dreamy manner. "He's the perfect boyfriend. He's handsome, charming and so kind. He's never going to cheat on me or turn me down. Eventually we're going to get married and I'll have a beautiful dress. Maybe we can finish this date by looking at wedding dresses. That would simply make my day absolutely amazing."

Suddenly a silky dark voice came from behind her. "Is this your boyfriend Stella?"

The golden fairy turned her head to look at the dark haired female whose hands were on her hips. The female's nose wrinkled up as she looked at Brandon. He of course gave the female a confused look. "May I ask who you are?"

"My name is Chimera. I'm a lady in waiting for Princess Stella." The girl continued to wrinkle her nose at the young man. "Your boyfriend is ugly."

Stella glared at the female before standing up and slamming her hands down on the table. "Why do you always have to cause problems. And last time I checked you weren't a lady in waiting for me anymore. You caused way to many problems. You were always complaining."

"I'm still not incorrect in saying that you're a very spoiled princess who needs to share what she has." Chimera folded her arms across her chest.

"That's kind of rude." Brandon stood up and tried to get between the two girls, only to have Chimera pour hot coffee down his front, causing him to suddenly yelp.

"This is none of your business." The girl snapped out.

Stella however grabbed her beau's hand and dragged him out of the fast food place, a frown upon her face. They headed towards the fountain and she magicked the mess off of Brandon's clothing. "So what do you want to do now?"

"What do you want to do until you have to leave?" Brandon asked, a smile on his face..

"I want to look at wedding dresses." The golden haired fairy chimed. At first he stared at her, but then nodded his head in agreement. The place was beautiful as were the dresses. Despite the fact they were still in school and not old enough to be getting married they ended up taking her measures and letting her try on the dresses. Brandon's smile grew with each and every dress.

"Now, if you were shopping for your real dress, you wouldn't be able to let the groom be able to see you in your dress. It is considered bad luck for the bride if she ends up being seen by the groom in her wedding dress. Something about old magic and making the brides life miserable." The woman behind the counter smiled. "That's one of those old tradition that everyone has forgotten about. Some of them are really out there that people don't believe that they were ever once true."

While Stella enjoyed trying on the dresses while she waited for the time to tick away, she suddenly felt as if someone was watching her and she no longer felt comfortable trying on the dresses. Thankfully though, she was almost done and they were able to go to the portal location before Brandon saw her off. Upon opening up the portal, she ended up in the front foyer before the ball room. Her father came over to her, a smile on his face. "I have a wonderful surprise for you. You are getting a princess ball this afternoon."

At first Stella smiled. "But I don't have any time to get ready, let alone invite my friends."

"Your dress is already prepared for you as well as your jewelry." Her father stated, causing Stella to let out a deep sigh. She went to her room as Amore followed her close behind. She didn't however notice when her pixie disappeared as she was busy trying to send her invites to her friends. She arrived in the room and one of her maids handed her a jewelry box. She opened it up and found a heart shaped golden locket encrusted with diamonds. She removed the piece of jewelry from the case and placed it around her neck.

"Father still doesn't have a good choice in jewelry but I have to concede to wearing it because he wants me too." Stella stated. However, a frown came over her face as she felt her mind suddenly go numb.

Another two maids suddenly pulled out her dress. The dress was white and had a skirt that cut off the top of her thigh, while the train extended to her hips. The top was a wrap around that showed her back and sides through a drape that went over her shoulders. Stella blinks a couple of times. "But this is a wedding dress. I should be protesting the fact I am being forced to marry." However, Stella spoke up, her words coming out in a way she didn't expect. "What a lovely dress. I'm looking forward to the princess ball."

She then found herself being dressed in the clothing with ballet style shoes added in along with a veil. She then headed to the ball room and found herself standing next to her father. "I have an announcement to make." The bearded man spoke up, while Stella stood next to him with another smile. "As one may remember, the fairy folk used to be a different group from us humans. They were a group that consisted of all females who would create a new fairy by using soul bonding magic between two fairies. However, fairies began to fall in love and soul bond themselves with us humans. The fairies created from this method were weaker then the fairies created from the other method. In an attempt to restrengthen the royal blood line, my daughter is to be soul bonded to another fairy."

Stella's mind was going very fast. "But this isn't what I want! I have a boyfriend! What has over come my father! He actually can't be serious can he? I mean, this whole thing isn't something I've heard about. And surely there is no way that a female can carry the baby of another female! I got laughed at in class when I brought this up once, so... this can't possibly be possible!"

"As for the lucky fairy, it is going to be Chimera, the daughter of Countess Cassandra. So if she'll step up and proceed wit the first dance with my daughter, we can start this princess ball, as Solaria now has a new princess." Her father continued to smile as if nothing was wrong.

The dark haired female stepped up to Stella with a smile on her face. Stella found herself forced from taking the lead in the dance. With a whisper, the blond fairy whispered into Chimera's ear. "Explain to me what is going on. You don't like me."

"Just be careful about making yourself look bad. I'm actually in full agreement with this and you don't want to look bad disobeying your father's command." Chimera stated. "Wait until we get to our room. Until then we enjoy our wedding bliss, because we'll be heading off on our honeymoon for the rest of vacation time before school starts back up again."

"But isn't it laughable that we could have a child together." Stella let out small chuckle. To her dismay she could hear the other people in the ball room whisper in an overly loud manner that the two looked like a cute couple.

The dark goth leaned forward and whispered into her ear. "Actually, I looked it up in my school library. It is completely possible, but hasn't been practiced for a long time so most people have forgotten."

Eventually, Stella felt an ache in her legs as they continued to dance. The ball had started at six and the clock went past midnight and into one o'clock. She was glad when she could finally stop dancing and she could head back to her room. What she didn't like was the fact Chimera ended up coming with her. "Please go away..."

But Stella couldn't verbally ask the girl to leave her. The girl had a smile on her face however. "Now you're bonded with me, your only able to share your looks with me and you won't be dating that ugly boyfriend."

"That's because you're the loveliest thing besides myself." Stella cooed. "No! I don't think that!" Chimera spun the princess around and pushed her down onto her back upon the circular bed. One of Chimera's hands reached up to stroke Stella's cheek gently while the girl tried to wiggle out from underneath the other girl. "No, I don't belong to you. I'm my own person." The female lowered her face to Stella and locked her lips with the blonde's. Stella found herself beginning to kick as the other female used her tongue in her mouth. The kiss was longer then anything she had ever done with Brandon.

Stella began to feel her the top of her clothing removed and she suddenly clutched her arms around her chest area. Chimera pulled back. "What ever is the matter?"

"I've never undressed even in front of my friends, only my maids!" Stella thought, but instead said. "I'm rather nervous about tonight.

"The pale moons of this universe, they do not compare to thine bosom, not letting me see is a curse, so let them be my hymn." Chimera lilted the poetry at the golden haired fairy causing Stella to pull her hands to the side. The girl began to kiss her and touch her in places Stella was uncomfortable with and finally she simply blacked out. Stella woke up to sunlight shining through the window. She tried moving but suddenly realized that someone was on top of her. Her body was completely unclothed and a very naked Chimera was lying on top of her. Inwardly Stella couldn't help but cry.
