"pink?"
"no way!"
"yellow?"
"no"
"purple..?"
"no.."
"cream white?"
"no.."
"black?"
"Do I look like Im going to a funeral?"
"then white?"
"no...attending a wedding or something?" she said sarcastic tone
"oh..Cagalli...what kind of outfit? what color?...what color of the gown will you wear on the ball tonight?" Mana asked searching for other gown in her humongous closet she already frustrated from asking her the same thing all over and over again
"I dont want to attend the ball..."Cagalli said crashing on her fluffy bed and hugging her big bunny that came from her parents
"nonsense..m'lady tonight's your 20th birthday and the real start of the test and challenges for your husband to be... you must attend it "Mana said pulling out a mint green gown with white overlaps and laces on it" how bout this one hime?"
"come on..this one's pretty...not to mention it suits you best..."Mana said
"nope...no way..Im not wearing that dress!"Cagalli said
"Princess Cagalli!...Pls do this for the sake of your deceased father!"Mana said in a slightly mad tone" fulfill your--"
"I know...fulfill your fathers wish by marrying someone rightfully for my heart...and rule the land together with him...this was my fathers dying wish and I must fulfill it..."Cagalli said looking at Mana
"Very good...Now please change its only half an hour before the big celebration starts" Mana said pushing her to the dressing room
after an hour of arguing with Cagalli on putting the dress on, they had problems in fixing and putting make up on her face and again she was late for the party for almost 30 minutes...good thing the candidates has a lot of patience to burn..
"now now m'lady..you must enter with grace and confidence plus you must smile okay?"Mana said as she led Cagalli to the room and signaled the guard to open the large door
"Ladies and Gentlemen...her royal highness...Princess Cagalli..."the guard shouted after blowing the trumpet all gave a clap and even some whistles
'I hope I dont trip...its hard to walk on these freaking stilettos'Cagalli said to herself as she walked down the grand stairs with a smile
Almost all the Candidates jaw dropped seeing Cagalli in a beautiful gown. She wore a mint green gown with some white overlaps and laces and few white transparent ruffles in the end light green ribbons were tied on her hair and a simple make-up suited her and the white stilettos that she never wore...
"Cagalli...you...you look "Lacus was lost at words
"What? I know the dress does not suit me big time..."Cagalli said
"no..no...You look very beautiful and striking even I almost jaw dropped "Lacus said smiling at her
"You're kidding..."Cagalli said
"no Lacus is not kidding Cags..we Promise you look very gorgeous, elegant, stunning.."Mirr said
"fine..."Cagalli said smiling at them
"Cagalli there you are..."Kira said walking to the girls
"yep?"Cagalli said turning her head
"its time to dance..."Kira said smiling at her and moving closer to Lacus(ehem)
"wha-b-But.."Cagalli suddenly blushed...
"what's wrong?"Kira asked as Cagalli signaled him to come closer to her
"I. dont.know.how.to.dance."Cagalli whispered
"thats okay though its unusual to see things like this...dont worry sis..I know things like this would happen so I asked 'someone' to help you learn..."Kira said smiling at her "Here...Athrun would you care to show the Princess how to dance the waltz"Kira said polite before excusing himself and asking Lacus to dance
"uh...Princess do you care to take dance with me?"Athrun asked giving a small bow
"uh...I dont know how to dance the waltz Prince Athrun.."Cagalli said softly
"dont worry hime...I'll try my best to teach you...now may I ask once again if you care to dance with me?"Athrun said bowing in a gentleman manner and offering his had which Cagalli took...Athrun led him and the princess to the dance floor and slowly dance with grace with the continuously flowing waltz music...
"Step...close. step close.. I guess your getting the hang of it Hime..."Athrun said smiling at her which made Cagalli flush red a little she tried to look away so that Athrun would not notice it but he noticed it before she looked away...for some reason that blush looked familiar...they dance freely along with the music and Cagalli was learning quickly
"Again...step close...step..."Athrun said before turning her and smiling at her"you did well Princess..."Athrun said
"uh-ah..thank you Prince Athrun.."Cagalli said slightly blushing
"it was a pleasure to be able to dance with your Princess...I should be the one thanking..."Athrun said
from not to far from the two..err lovebirds..i mean the two royal heirs...an ape slowly approached them
"mind if I cut in?"Yunna said while fixing his hair and bow
"uhh..no.."Athrun said glaring at him
"thank you...now Princess Cagalli...do you mind to take a dance with moi?"Yunna said bowing like Athrun but a little lower now
"uhh...Okay..."Cagalli said as she ,once again was led into the dance floor this time it wasnt a knight in shinning armor instead it was a ape or rather king kong dress in some tuxedo. just when the music started Kira appeared and asked if he can have this dance with Cagalli which Yunna couldnt decline..since he is the brother of Cagalli and the one who will be judging the candidates.
"thanks Kira.."Cagalli said
"eh?...why?"
"you saved me"Cagalli said looking back to see Yunna scratching his head before getting a fruit punch
"you dont like him do you..?"Kira asked as they continued dancing
"yep...to flirty and show-off.. not my type of guy.."Cagalli said as Kira smiled upon noticing Cagalli moving and gently dancing along the music
"I see that the princess learned quickly..."Kira said smiling at her" you learned quickly in dancing dear sister.."
"uh..yeah..he was good in teaching so I got it right.."Cagalli said turning her head to avoid Kira from noticing her blush
"I see...I guess we should list this activity for the challenges.."Kira said as he let go of Cagalli's hand and bowed as the music faded
"I guess.."Cagalli said" so did you asked lacus?"Cagalli said changing the subject
Kira blushed madly and nodded"-uh...-ah..um..yeah...she did...she was a very good dancer than me..."
"duh bro! she took dancing lessons since she 5 years old and how old is she now? she is 20"Cagalli said walking with her brother to the table
"I guess your right..."Kira said
they continued to celebrate the Princess 20th birthday all together and 25 lucky candidates was able to dance with the Princess, some of the lucky Candidates were Athrun, Justin of hemm , Dearka ,Yzak and Yunna
"Candidates...get a good night sleep tonight because tomorrow will be the start of the 'real battle' for the Princess' heart..."Kira said opening a scroll "manners is the first in the line tomorrow... for those who didn't come from a royal blood..one should know his manner towards the royal family. for the candidates who came from a royal family such as Prince Athrun and Prince Yunna will be separated and be doing a much more heavier test... 1000 mental questions..."Kira said "second, each and every one of you shall need to enter a maze dungeon and walk through it with battling some beasts and other creatures...I assume all of you have experienced fighting and defending yourself before with a weapon right?...those who can pass through can enter the next challenge...those who failed to do so will be sent back to their hometown"Kira said looking at them seriously
"I wish all the Candidates good luck and may the Haumea guide you through your battles..." Cagalli said smiling at them " as I cut this ribbon this would officially signify that the challenges and battles starts..."Cagalli said cutting the red ribbon.."now...!"she said smiling at them.
Everyone started clapping and some whistling once again as the official battles starts they are no longer just a mere candidate but each and everyone of them are now candidates for the Princess' heart there would be times that they would battle each other and hurt each other. Among these 50 candidates only one will emerge victorious, that man will be only one rightful for the Princess heart...
"Once Again on my sisters behalf I want to wish you all good luck and may the Haumea guide you as the battle starts tomorrow...thats all "Kira said closing the scroll he was holding
