Just for clarification Loki and Sigyn are 15, or the Asgardian equivalent, and Thor is 17
Dresses and hairstyles are on my profile

Sigyn's POV
"But mother, I do not WANT to go to this ball," I protested.
"Sigyn, you are finally old enough to come to a ball, you do not have to leave my side the whole night," my mother, Lia, said to me as she rifled through my closet for a dress for me to wear.
"But I am going to get bored," I explained, "there will be no one there my age."
"You never know, a lot of other nobles have children your age, the princes are about your age."
"Yeah, but I do not know them."
"This may be your chance to."
"But..."
"No but young lady, all of the maids have gone home for the night, and there is no one here to take care of you, you will have to come with me." my mother finally explained
"Fine," I said getting off of my bed and walking over to the other side of my room, over to my mother, "I can get ready by myself mother, besides I still have to wash my hair."
"Alright," she said leaving my room, "we are leaving in two hours."
"Okay, thank you mother."
I walked into my bathroom and started my bath. Once the bath was ready, I stripped out of my short red dress and slipped into the bathtub. After a few minutes I could feel my legs form into one and my scales cover my legs. I sat in the bath just enjoying the warmness for about a minute. Then I dunked my head under and started to wash my long blonde hair. When I was done, I got out of the bath, and grabbed a towel to dry my body and my hair. Once I was dry, I walked out of the bathroom, back into my room and started to rifle through my dresses.
'If I have to go, I might as well look good," I thought to myself, 'Even if I really do not want to."
"Ah ha!" I said as I pulled out a simple lavender purple one shoulder dress. I slipped the dress on, then walked over to my vanity table and started to braid my hair. I let my hair dry in the braid a little, then I took it out of the braid, and let the curls fall down my back. I then put my hair into a bun at the base of my head. My mother came in once I was finished.
"Sigyn, time to go." she said.
"Alright mother," I said as I stood up and walked toward the door.
"You look beautiful Sigyn," My mother said once we left our house and got into the carriage.
"Thank you mother," i said without looking her in the eyes, "so do you."
The rest of the carriage ride was silent. We got to the castle thirty minutes after the silence fell. The carriage stopped right outside of the palace. My mother and I were escorted into the palace doors.
"Mother..." I said suspiciously, "no one else is here."
"I know that darling," she said calmly, "We are meeting Queen Frigga and King Odin first."
"What!" I exclaimed.
"Did I not tell you this before we left?"
"No," I said still in shock, "Mother, what do I do I am not ready to meet the King and Queen!"
"The Queen was a dear friend of mine," she said as we walked into the ballroom.
Once we got to the royal family, we bowed.
"It is good to see you again Lia," the Queen said as my mother and I stopped bowing.
"It is nice to see you too, your Majesty." my mother said formally.
"Please Lia, drop the formalities we are still friends." Queen Frigga said gently.
My mother looked around the ballroom for a second. "Where is the All-Father?" she asked at last.
"He had something to take care of, so he will not be here until the beginning of the ball." Queen Frigga explained.
"Alright," my mother said. She then looked at me, just realizing that I was still standing next to her, "My daughter, Sigyn."
"Hello Sigyn," Queen Frigga said, turning her attention toward me.
"Hello your majesty" I bowed.
The Queen then looked at her own two sons, "My oldest son, Thor," She said as a muscular teenager with blonde hair stepped up.
"Hello Lady Sigyn," he said as he kissed my hand.
"Hello Prince Thor," I replied back politely.
"And my youngest son, Loki," The Queen continued once Prince Thor took his place next to his brother. The younger son, Loki, had shorter hair then his brother, his was also black.
'He is cuter than his brother." I thought to myself.
He stepped toward me. "Hello dear Lady Sigyn," he said as he kissed my hand, just as his brother had done.
"Hello Prince Loki," I said with a slight smile.
Right as Prince Loki took his place back with his family, King Odin entered the ballroom. Soon all of the guests were in the ballroom, we sat down for a feast.
I sat next to my mother, near the head of the table, and across from Prince Loki." I looked over at him and saw him looking back at me, smirking. I looked down embarrassed that I was caught staring.
Once all of the guests had found their seats, the All-Father stood up, "Thank you all of attending. The warriors that have fought in this most recent war against Nidavellir are honored and now safely here with us today."
While everyone cheered, I asked my mother, "Mother, is the ending of the war the reason for this ball?"
"Yes," She said quickly, wanting to answer me but not wanting to be disrespectful to the All-Father.
The servants then brought the food for the feast once the All-Father sat back down. The food was delicious, including a whole roasted boar.
The feast part of the ball lasted for an hour. Some of the guests were drunken slobs by then. I saw one noble walk up to his sister, probably not realizing who it was, and tried to slip is tongue in her mouth. She slapped him before he could succeed.
"Ugh," I gagged.
"Disgusting isn't it." I heard Prince Loki say.
"Completely." replied.
"They get worse," he said, "My brother told me that once a guest threw up on his own shoes, proceeded to dance by himself, then look down at his shoes and start to yell 'Who threw up on my shoes' almost as if it he forgot it was him who did."
I started to giggle, then I looked up at Prince Loki and saw him staring at me, and we both started to laugh.
But before we could continue our conversation further, Prince Thor walked up to me, "Lady Sigyn, would you care for a dance?"
At first I was hesitant, but this was a prince asking me to dance, " I would, thank you, your Highness."
He took my hand and lead me out to the dance floor. As the song started, he took one of my hands in his, and put his other hand around my waist. I looked at him as we started to dance, he had captivating blue eyes and big muscles, which some girls might find very attractive. Prince Thor twirled me around the dance floor for a few minutes until the song ended. A few more nobles and sons of nobles asked me to dance. Soon I became exhausted and went to go sit outside and enjoy the fresh air. I wandered around a little, just looking around when I heard a voice.
"Lost are we?"
I spun around to see a smirking dark haired prince approach me from behind a tree.
"No, I am just out getting some fresh air."
"Why, has Thor already tired you out?" he asked suggestively.
"You are disgusting," I replied.
"Me?" he said in a mocked shock, putting his hand to his chest, "Why I was only asking a question, you decided to take it the wrong way."
I giggled, " Yes you, you are the only other person here."
"I believe that you are mistaken Lady Sigyn, there are many guests attending this ball, the same as you and I," he said with an arrogant smirk on his face.
"I meant, in the garden talking to me."
"Then you should have clarified," he said as he stepped closer, backing me up into a tree, "I need to go back to the ball, I've been gone for too long." "See you around Lady Sigyn," He said as he kissed my hand and walked away.
After my little encounter with the younger prince, I continued to look around the gardens until I came across a pond. I knew hat I shouldn't have, but I looked around to see if there was anyone else around. Then I stripped out of my dress and walked into the pond. Once I was fully submerged I felt my legs start to meld together and sliver scales form over the bottom half of my body. Two minutes passed and I dove underwater, with my hair moving freely and my silver tail flicking around. The one down-side to having a tail is that unless you are wearing something on the top half of your body, you are naked from the waist up. Which I, unfortunately, was not wearing anything under my dress.
I dove deeper under water to the bottom. At the bottom of the pond was a layer of pebbled that shined like gems. I decided to sit, close my eyes and relax. Ten minutes passed undisturbed, then I heard someone calling my name.
'Who could be looking for me at this moment in time?' I thought to myself
I was so curious that I forgot about my tail and my half naked body and swam to the surface. Once I was at the surface, I could see who it was that was calling me. It was Prince Loki.
"How is it that you have already found me twice this evening I try to stay unnoticed." I asked him.
"Oh," he said surprised, "there you are."
"Yep, here I am," I replied, "why were you calling me?"
"Once I left, I went back inside to talk to my brother. I then got bored, and decided to go for a walk. I was walking around the garden when I neared the pond and I saw your dress on the bench but you were not with it."
"Yeah, I have been here," I said
"I have been meaning to ask you about that," he said, "what are you doing?"
"Swimming," I said as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Well I can see that, but why are you swimming in a pond, without any clothes on?"
"I wanted to," I said vaguely as I lowered my self a little so he couldn't see my tail.
A minute or two passed until he said unexpectedly, "Why are you hiding from me?"
"I am not," I said defensively.
"If you're not, then why are you almost completely under water?"
I looked around and noticed that I had been lowering myself even more into the water subconsciously.
"Oops, I guess that I didn't notice," I said as I moved my long hair around to my shoulders to cover up the top half of my body which was, continently, naked. Then I brought myself closer to him and rested my hand on the edge of the pond.
I looked into his eyes, finally being able to actually look at them. They were the brightest emerald green eyes I have ever seen, the only emerald green eyes I have ever seen, and they always had a mischievous twinkle in them. I soon turned away blushing when I was snapped out if my daze when I saw him staring at something else, my tail to be exact. Apparently I had been flicking it around out of the water.
"Please tell me this is not what I think it is," he said quietly, intrigued and a little scared at the same time.
"It is," was all I said.
"You are a mermaid!" he said excitedly.
All i did was nod sheepishly, I could not believe that he was not either running away in terror, or to notify someone to catch me and then let him keep me.
"Could I see it?" he asked a little embarrassed.
"My tail?" I asked confused.
"Yes..." he said with a very slight blush.
'He's blushing, I do not believe that I have seen him blush all night.' I thought to myself. Then I lifted my whole body up out of the water, so only the edge of my tail was in the water.
I looked over at him and saw him looking in awe.
"You're beautiful," he said after a few minutes.
"You are not freaked out?" I asked him, " You are not going too run away in horror anytime soon, right?"
"The opposite," was all that he said before his lips crashed onto mine. It was gentle, he did not try to invade my mouth, or try to slip his tongue inside of my mouth like I heard many women have had to experience. It only lasted a few seconds but my lips still tingled afterward. Something could have happened after, but not likely, but it couldn't because of my mother.
"Sigyn, where are you, it is time to leave." she called
"Oh no!" I cried as I slipped back into the pond.
"Here," Prince Loki said as he handed me my dress.
'I am so glad that I didn't wear silk.' I thought.
"Thank you," I said as grabbed the dress and slipped it on.
Once I had the dress on, Prince Loki gave me his hand to pull me up from the water, only to have me accidentally pull him in.
"Oops," I said laughing. He didn't say anything he just laughed along side me.
He swam behind me, grabbed my hips, and lifted me up onto the shore. He then lifted himself out of the water, and noticed that my tail was fading back into legs.
"What's happening?" he asked, "I believed that a mermaid was still had her tail if she was wet?"
"That is not entirely true, it is only if I am fully submerged in water that I grow a tail." I explained
"Interesting." he said.
He could not have said anything more because he pushed me down onto the ground, right when my mother came running.
"Ah, there you are Sigyn," my mother exclaimed as I sat back up. "Why are you and Prince Loki all wet?" she asked.
"I was walking around the garden with her when we came to stop and sat down at the edge of the pond. She leaned in too far and fell in. I then jumped in after her to keep her fro drowning." he lied. He lied so smoothly that I almost believed him.
"Thank you Prince Loki." My mother said, "Now come on Sigyn, it is time to go home."
I followed my mother and left the younger prince in the garden. I never saw him again, but I never forgot him.
