Author`s Note: I got the names of the 'royal' parents from Wikipedia (Italian). Erendor/Samera are Sky's, Teredor/Niobe are Layla's, you know Miriam/Oritel (if not: they're Bloom's) and Radius/Luna are Stella's. Also a note for readers who also read other stories of mine; do you think I made that poll in my profile for fun? Vote please!

"I'm glad you could come." Teredor briefly clasped hands with his fellow ruler. "Although you're a tad late."
"We are?" Erendor gently pecked the offered cheek of Teredor;s wife.
"I fear yes." Niobe linked arms with Samera. "All the others have arrived... even those without a spaceship of their own."
"Well, your message did reach us relatively late. Until we then had ensured everything for our absence..." Samera smiled gently. "After all, we have a kingdom to rule."
"And the rest of us don't?" Miriam had overheard the last comment of Eraklyon's queen. "Samera dear, watch your tongue."
"So speaks the one who complains about the unbelievable amount of water on the WATER-planet." Luna briefly hugged Samera. "Good to see you."
"Unlike your son, who ran off with our children already." Oritel joined them, several glasses in hand. "They mentioned something about going for a swim now that that is healthy again."
"Hey!"
"Calm yourself, Teredor. He knows you couldn't do anything about that Baltor." Radius laid a hand on the other's arm. "Remember, we all got a bite out of that apple."
"Although some took a bigger than others..." Niobe took one of the glasses. "We still haven't recovered properly."
"Indeed, but you didn't want our aid when we offered." Oritel took a sip, before studying the liquid. "This is not champagne or something of the like, is it?"
"No indeed." Teredor smiled. "Only half of it is champagne, the other half is milk."
"Milk?" Luna echoed. "What gave you the idea to combine milk with Champagne?"
"Our people." Niobe explained. "It's coconut-milk. For most it simply is the main beverage, so we figured we should give it a try."
"Mmmh... Layla's rebellion really had an impact I see. Although I recommend we don't follow your example." Samera gestured towards herself and her husband. "Erendor simply wouldn't fit into those ninja-suits."
Laughter arose from the small group.

"Do I even want to know how you got your parents to agree to this?" Bloom asked between hoots for Sky. The boys were holding a mock-battle while the girls watched.
"It was surprisingly easy. They apparently wanted to do something like this for a while."
"I'm more surprised the others came." Tecna stated.
"Why would that be?" Flora handed around halves of coconuts.
"This is almost like inviting disaster; the entire ruling families of four realms." Tecna explained.
"Oh please, Tecna. No need to invite it even more!" Musa took a big gulp of the juice/milk mixture. "This time we all will relax and nothing bad is going to happen. How about that?"
"Way better. Did any of you realize that no matter what we did these last few years we always had to kick someone's butt?" Stella asked.
"Well, this time we won't… Hey Layla, is that not one of your cruiseships?" Flora pointed to the ship passing overhead.
"It is." Teredor's eyebrow rose slightly before he simply sat down next to his daughter. The other three kings followed his example. "Your mothers wanted to make an outing on the wind."
"And we didn't, so we joined you instead." Oritel simply reached for another coconut.

"Sometimes I'm really jealous of you." Samera leaned on the balustrade. "Eraklyon simply has to many mountains for us to get an airship like you have."
"You know you are always welcome to visit." Niobe looked back to where they had come from.
"Sure, as if you would indulge in something like quality time with your friends." Miriam smoothed down her dress. The heavy winds made it fly about.
"Besides, even if you wanted, you couldn't. Those corsets you so fancy are a guaranteed quality time-killer." At that Luna found herself the center of attention from her friends. "What?"
In answer the others simply shook their heads in exasperation.
"What!"
"Nothing, Luna, it's nothing to worry about." Miriam said. "Although I do wonder whether that behavior of yours ended up in your genes."
"If Stella's behavior on the "Sparks-is-back-celebration" is anything to go by… Yes…" Niobe sighed. "The Great Dragon have mercy."
"I'm truly starting to believe you don't like me." Luna pouted.
"Nonsense! We simply don't like your obsession with fashion."
