Chapter 1

Preparations

Today is a very special day for the Unikingdom! Everyone in the kingdom was getting ready for the Unikingdom Ball, hosted by none other than Unikitty. The citizens have been rushing to buy their favorite dresses and suits for the occasion. While everyone was anxiously waiting for the dance, Richard was going over his checklist to make sure everything goes well tonight. After making sure that everyone received their invitations, Richard started to check on his friends.

He approached Hawkodile and asked, "Hawkodile, have you finished cleaning the castle for when our guests arrive?"

"Almost, Rick! I just wish I didn't get the most boring job!" Hawkodile complained as he swept the floor. "Hopefully, I can at least ask Dr. Fox to go with me to the dance." he muttered under his breath.

"What was that?" Richard asked.

"Nothing!" Hawkodile quickly got back to work, hoping that Richard didn't hear anything.

Richard then chose to ignore Hakwodile's statement, and came out the castle where he saw Dr. Fox working on one of her inventions.

"Dr. Fox, now is not the time to be inventing gadgets. You were supposed to bring in a chandelier for tonight."

"That won't be necessary, Richard!" Dr. Fox exclaimed. "Thanks to my Light-O-Tron 9000, we will have more than enough light for the dance. Let me give you a demonstration!" Once Dr. Fox activated her machine, the various light bulbs surrounding the device started to emit a bright light. It was so bright that it was blinding even in broad daylight. Dr. Fox soon turned off the machine as she said, "There are still a few bugs I need to work out."

"Yes, that's nice." Richard groaned, regaining his eyesight. "Listen, have you seen Unikitty anywhere? She was supposed to help out with the preparations."

"Oh yeah! She said she was heading to the park with Puppycorn not too long ago." Dr. Fox answered before getting back to her machine.

Richard then gave a sigh of frustration. "Sometimes I wish the princess would take her responsibilities seriously for once." With that, Richard left to search for the princess.

Meanwhile at the park, Unikitty and Puppycorn were playing with a frisbee by tossing it back and forth.

Unikitty soon caught the frisbee and said, "Get ready, little bro! This frisbee is going to fly really far this time!"

"I'm ready, sis!" Puppycorn exclaimed as he got ready to run.

The moment Unikitty threw the frisbee, Puppycorn started to run after it as fast as he could. He then leaped high and caught the frisbee before landing in a nearby bush.

"Puppycorn? Are you alright?" Unikitty asked as she approached the bush.

The unicorn-dog hybrid soon popped out of the bush with the frisbee in his mouth. "I caught it, sis!" he mumbled passed the frisbee.

Unikitty started to giggle at how cute Puppycorn looked before feeling a blush across her face. Deep down, she developed feelings towards Puppycorn for some time. Unikitty did everything she could to push down those unwanted emotions, but it got harder for her everyday. She knew that it would not work out with Puppycorn because even if he did feel the same way about her, it would be wrong for her to date her brother. Just the thought of knowing that it wasn't meant to be breaks her heart.

"Sis!"

The sudden sound of her brother's voice startled Unikitty back to reality.

"Did you say something, Puppycorn?" Unikitty asked with a blush.

"I asked if you wanted to play some more. You kind of spaced out for a moment." Puppycorn explained.

"I'm sorry, little bro. I was just trying to get something off my mind."

"Why? What were you thinking about?" Puppycorn asked, curious.

"Uh-" Unikitty struggled to come up with an answer, but was too nervous to say anything.

Before Unikitty got a chance to say anything, she got startled when Richard showed up at the last second. "There you are, princess! I need you to help me put up the decorations for tonight's dance."

The princess soon got over her shock as she stammered, "S-Sure. No problem, R-Richard." Before following Richard back to the castle, Unikitty turned to her brother one more time. "I'm sorry we can't play right now, Puppycorn, but I promise we can play as much as you want tomorrow."

"Okay. I'll see you later, sis." Puppycorn waved goodbye to his sister as she returned to her castle.

The moment Unikitty left, Puppycorn began to wonder about something. He could have sworn that he saw Unikitty blush, but he decided to shrug it off and continued to play.
