"Miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiint!" Elena ran up to the former ex-princess. "You're here!"

The magic wielding girl unattached herself from Elena. "Geez. It hasn't been that long!"

Elena just smiled at the other girl. "Guess what!" She clapped her hands. She and Mint headed off towards her house. "Oh, Oh. I'll tell you! Rue and Rod are here too!"

"And don't forget us."

The two girls looked up to see none other than Belle and Duke themselves.

Mint raised a fist. "What the heck are you guys doing here? What is this, let's all come back to haunt Mint time?"

Belle snorted. "It's a nice thought, but no."

Duke stood in front of his lady partner. "Milady's right." He sniffed. "We were invited."

Mint sighed. "Just great. I always wanted to spend a vacation with two of my greatest enemies."

Belle glared at her. "Don't flatter me."

Duke stared at Belle and back at Mint. "Now, now Milady. This is a vacation. We're supposed to relax, loosen up."

Belle knocked Duke off of his feet. "Then why are you badgering me? C'mon, let's get to the hotel before we decide to waste all our money at the bar like last time." The pair walked off.

Elena stared at Duke who was getting beat up by Belle, once again. "Wasn't he a star last year?"

Mint sighed once again. "C'mon, don't want to keep your family waiting."

Once inside of Elena's home, Mint found herself face to face with Rue. "You!"

Rue gave her a weak smile. "Hi Mint."

Mint turned her back on Rue and crossed her arms. "Remember, you still owe me."

The silver haired boy scratched his head. "Of course I do." He walked over to face Mint. "How could I forget?"

The Princess jumped up in happiness. "I KNEW I could count on you!" She threw her arms around the boy. "Keep up that attitude and I might split the profits with you!"

"What are you guys doing?" Elena's appeared in the doorway. An un-innocent look crossed her face for a split second. It disappeared just as fast as it had gotten there.

Rue blushed, Mint's arms were still wrapped around him. "Um, Mint?"

"Whhhhhhaaaaat?"

"You could let go of me now."

Mint stepped back. "Oh, right." Her cheeks seemed to have reddened the slightest bit.

"Why is your faces getting all red?"

Rue didn't reply, but looked down to see Prima Doll.

"Shut up, ya brat." Mint hissed at Valen's former creation. "Nobody asked for your opinion."

Prima stuck his tongue out at Mint.

Mint glared. "Didn't anyone teach you how to respect your elders, or at least, ROYALTY?"

"No."

"Hmph."

Rue and Elena gave each other secret smiles. Some things never change.

Mint raised an arm and pointed down at Prima Doll. "I shall not take this abuse. I have erm, better things to do with my vacation."

"Like what?" Elena asked.

"Well, things. You know, stuff." Mint walked towards the door to find herself getting intercepted by Mira.

"Mint, glad you could make it." The woman hugged her.

Mint rolled her eyes. What was with this family and hugging?

"Yeah, yeah." Mint headed out and her voice drifted along as she walked off. "I'm going to go see Rod."

A/N: I know, it probably sucked. Though, take pity on me because I'm nt used to writing Threads of Fate fics. If I do continue this fic, it'd probably be a Mint/Rue fic or even a Mint/Rod. Sorry, but for some reason I really like the idea of Rod and Mint being a couple. They'd look cute together….Right?
