A/N: Thank you for the sweet positive reviews I got for my pervious chapter. I was very fond of the time especially Renachi took to inform me about the formatting flaws I was ought to even out. I hope that I'll be getting a few more positive reviews with this chapter too :)
Other than that I don't have anything to say, really.
Enjoy :D

Chapter 2

While it was still early morning, Princess Bloom and her royal parents enjoyed a wide ranged breakfast while discussing the plans they had for the day.
"I thought about visiting Countess Louise's breeding farm this afternoon. I heard she has a beautiful selection of stallions and ponies to look at. I find it is about time we get Bloom a horse, I've never heard of a royal descendant who doesn't own one. Don't you think so too honey?" Mariam stated, glancing over at her husband from across the long table.
They were each sitting at one end of the buffet with Bloom in between them.
Oritel nodded weakly, his eyes panning over the newspaper he was reading.
He was one of the few kings who cared to study the weekly chronicle himself, instead of having one of his servants read it to him.
While Mariam asked for another cup of black tea, Bloom continued stirring her scrambled eggs around on her plate in boredom, unlike every other morning.
Even though she wasn't an early bird, she usually found the energy to take part in a conversation with her parents; but today she seemed absent, being lost in her own fantasies.
Her dream still occupied her mind, leaving no room for long discussions.
She had to find out what her subconscious mind had tried to tell her.
Was there any emotional attachment Baltor had to her other than wanting to see her in pain?
Was tormenting her with the lies he had told her before not enough for him?
Did he now have to intrude her most intimate emotions; her love life?
…Apparently.

Bloom was torn out of her thoughts as she heard her cell phone ring.
The distracting sound filled the entire dining hall and then faded out while Bloom excused herself and walked into the hallway.
She pulled her pink cell phone out of her pocket and answered.
Usually the person's voice let a smile appear on her face, but today, all she did was smirk faintly as she listened to what was said.
"Hey beautiful. How have you been?" Sky asked her.
"I guess I'm… What about you?" she replied in monotone, strolling down the long corridor, searching for some picture to linger her eyes on.
"That surely doesn't sound like the Bloom I know." he answered, of course alert that his girlfriend's voice was emotionless and cold, as if all sensibility was unavailable.
She stopped walking and thought of a reasonable excuse. She gave up after a few seconds. There was no way she could concentrate while talking to him.
"No really…I'm fine." she said, with still no change in the tone of her voice.
"Come on. I can hear that there is something bothering you. You know I'll listen." he replied.
It was a shame he knew her so well. Couldn't he just be uninterested in what upset her for once and stop being the charming lover who listened to everything that was on her mind?
Of course she wanted someone to listen to her, but right now it just couldn't be him.
He was not the right one to talk to when it came to Baltor.

"Bloom?"
His voice tore her out of her thoughts.
"I-I'm sorry…I spaced off." she excused herself.
Sky chuckled.
"That surely wouldn't be the first time." he answered. "Anyways, I called you for a reason." he added.
"Which is?"
"I wanted to ask if you had any plans for today." he replied.
Bloom hesitated to answer at first. She knew that his presence usually kept her from thinking about anything negative, but then again she had dreamed of being intimate with another man.
Perhaps she was ashamed?
"I don't think so." she answered half hearted, figuring she needed some sort of task to distract her mind from thinking about the strange dream. She believed that spending a day with her Queen mother would come in handy, since they would be likely to involve in some royal discussion with the countess, requiring their entire focus.
"Oh…Well, what about tomorrow?"
"I guess that'd work." she responded briefly, shrugging her shoulders.
"Sounds good. I want to take you to a special place. Perhaps a beautiful dress would suit the occasion." he informed her.
"I think that can be done." she replied with a soft smile appearing on her face. He always found a way to make her snigger.
"Well, I'll see you tomorrow then."
"I suppose."
They said goodbye to each other and then hung up, after which Bloom returned to the dining hall in order to finish her now cold scrambled eggs.

After sitting back down at the dining table, she and her mother discussed what time they were going to leave and how long they were going to stay at the farm, and Oritel informed them that he had just received an invitation to attend an urgent short-notice royal meeting in the early afternoon.
After that all of them departed, Bloom and Mariam heading off to Countess Louise's breeding farm, while Oritel got picked up by a spaceship that flew him to Isis.

A/N: Please, if you want to leave me any sort of review, be so kind and avoind spamming the review section with senseless comments like "This is stupid" or anything like that, especially when you are an anonymous reviewer, because I'll just go ahead and delete it. If you however do think that this chapter is horrid, please take the time to tell me in detail I could improve.

Thank you :D
