Chapter 4: Princess Lyra!

Phew! Sorry it took sooo long to get this updated. There's a few problems that needed to be taken care of. But here it is!

When night came along, there happens to be commotion happening. The Five Bronze Muglox Fairies can never believe that Himeko didn't get a chance to go to the ball. However, in the midst of all the halabaloo, Himeko remained calm as she was preparing a midnight meal for the Eris, Pandora, and Yumi.

After she finished and sat it on the dining table, Himeko was trying to think of pleasant things as she practiced dancing by herself. Especially, she can see the palace of the Sanctuary from the window.

A few seconds later, four dancing lights in colors of white, lilac, blue, and deep blue emerged to the opening of the window sill. The Mugloxes noticed the lights glowing from behind. They shone in the corner of Himeko's right eye next. "Hmm?" She looked up and stared at the four lights. "They must be fireworks." She wondered. Himeko can also see that the lights are moving in to the room closer! The Mugloxes flinched and flew to hide behind her back among her long hair. The lights stopped in front of Himeko. She looked closer curiously. Then all together, the lights flashed! Himeko flinched to cover her eyes. Then, the lights revealed Princess Tutu, Princess Rue, Prince Mytho, and Prince Fakir!

Himeko blinked a couple of times to make sure she wasn't dreaming. She then asked them. "Are. . . Are you witches and wizards?" Princess Tutu curtsied and answered. "No, Himeko. But you're pretty close." She opened the palm of her hand and little stars and fairy dust danced on it. "I'm Princess Tutu. A spirit of the dancing swan. These are my companions. Princess Rue: a spirit of the dancing nighthingale, Prince Mytho: A spirit of a prince's soul, and Prince Fakir: A spirit of a valiant knight of honor." Rue curtsied too and Mytho bowed with Fakir.

Himeko, and her fairy friends stared. Then she asked. "How did you get here?" Rue answered her. "Well, we'll show you what we mean, Lady Himeko." Mytho nodded. "Just follow our trail of fairy dust with Tutu." He took her by the hand elegantly. Himeko asked again. "Wait a minute. What I'm trying to say is that what are you guys doing here?" "We're going to make your wishes come true." Answered Tutu. "We're sending you to the Royal Ball tonight."

Himeko let loose of Mytho's hand and said. "Um. . . Well. . . No. I couldn't." The four dancers stared at her. Then Fakir asked. "And why's that? Don't you wish to go? Do you ever wish to dance for the last prince?" Himeko mumbled and said. "Well, of course I want to. But, I had nothing special to wear or dance in." Tutu made a special dance with her partners and said. "Not for long. With our special waltz of magic, you'll have everything you need to dance the night away at the palace of the Sanctuary!"

"Oh! A dress too?" Himeko asked again before she sighed deeply as her head fell into her imagination of what she wished for. Then she thought of somehing else. It made her shake her head out of her trance. "Oh! I couldn't. . . I mean, I've never danced for Prince Andromeda Shun before." She blushed. Mytho stopped dancing with Tutu and answered. "Well, that's the easy part by the way." Rue then added. "You're quite graceful we've been watching you all the time." "You have?" Asked Himeko. Tutu and her partners nodded. "Yes. After all that practicing, you'll have nothing to fear about."

Then, she stopped to think. "Where should we begin." Tutu looked at the five Bronze Muglox Fairies. Fakir looked between her and the fairies carefully. "Tutu, I know just what you're thinking." Then he too, looked at the fairies and announced. "Attention!" They lined up. Tutu announced next. "Fairies that resembled the Five Bronze Saints of Athena, we're in need of your help." They were startled at first. "Yes indeed." Agreed Rue. "Andromeda Muglox? Can you and your brother, the Phoenix Muglox go and get some twigs and vines?" The two fairies stared at her curiously. Then she made a shooing hand signal with her hand. "Quick, quick, quick!" The two fairies flew off to do what they're told. Rue turned to the three remaining fairies that are floating in mid air. "And now for you, Pegasus Muglox, Dragon Muglox, and Cygnus Muglox. As Himeko's good little fairies, please bring some leaves from the tops of the olive trees." The three fairies flew off and do the same for Rue. "Phew!" She sighed.

Then, Tutu, Rue, Fakir, and Mytho gathered around Himeko to measure her size together. The Andromeda Muglox the Phoenix Muglox returned from the garden with some twigs with some long vines of ivy. They present them infront of Himeko and the four magical dancers. "Good. Now rap them around Himeko's waist, please." They did so. Phoenix put the twigs in place while his younger fairy brother rapped and bundled them up until they were held around Himeko's waist into a strut skirt like figure. Himeko can hardly guess what Tutu and her companions were doing. Pegasus flew into the window with Dragon and Cygnus, carrying bundles of olive leaves. Mytho did some fitting formations around Himeko's upper body. Pegasus and his friends followed and laid the leaves around her torso and up to her chest. Himeko stared. "Excellant." Said Mytho.

Tutu announced afterwards. "Now, close your eyes and picture your dream dancing gown!" "Yes, Princess Tutu." Agreed Himeko and she did so. Rue turned to Tutu and said. "I think you know just the thing, Tutu." Tutu nodded. Then she began to dance until stardust appeared, flying in different directions! "Waltz of the Constellations!" The flying stars flew and landed on all the plants that the fairies laid on Himeko. Everything on her glowed and after a few seconds, warmth surrounded her body as the stars disappeared, revealing a shiny white tutu decorated with patterns glittering with silver sparkles! Himeko opened her eyes. When she looked at the outfit that's dressed on to her, she gasped! "Oh! Wow!" She can scarecely believe what she saw! The rags, vines, twigs, and olive leaves are gone and what she's wearing is a ballet tutu for her to dance ballet with! And on her head, her hair was tied into a bun and she's wearing a silver tiara with a blue sapphire at it's center! The fairies, who whatched Tutu's spell being casted on their friend jumped with joy to seeing the wonderous sight they saw!

"Good, good! Now, next is transport." Said Mytho. He looked around the kitchen and found something! "Hmm. . . I got it!" He found a little green pumpkin in the vegetable basket. He drew out his sword and commanded. "In the name of Prince Mytho, bring the pumpkin!" He casted a spell of star dust onto the pumpkin, causing it to float all the way to the table. When it landed, Rue walked up to it and sprinkled another dash of star dust onto it! Himeko watched in amazement as an invisible orange pumpkin rose out of it's green counter part! Now, it's Fakir's turn! "Watch this one, Lady Himeko!" He took out a small magical dagger and waved it around in circles! "Abra, kadabra, alakazam!" He called out to some cherries and tangerine slices that Himeko peeled from earlier. They decorated themsleves onto the orange pumpkin. Fakir used the rest of his magic to cause the decorated pumpkin to float into the air and fly all the way outside the window! Himeko gasped and watched with the mugloxes. Then the next thing happened! The pumpkin expanded in size and it all turned into a beautifully golden chariot! "Oh! Wow! It's all so beautiful!" Himeko exclaimed!

"Now, we need someone to pull it." Said Tutu. She looked around and found the muglox fairies. "Presto!" She exclaimed as she walked over to them. "Huh? Them?" Asked Himeko. Rue nodded as she walked over to the fairies next. "Yes. These little guys are perfect! They can be the steeds and the coachman and footman!" The fairies huddled up together as they were surprised to be the ones to pull the chariot. Tutu and Rue partnered up with Mytho and Fakir and they cried out. "Dance of the Nine Universal Planets!" They danced and star dust sprinkled onto the five fairies. Himeko watched curiously. The fairies float up in the air and all the way outside of the window! When they landed on the ground, there was a poof! Muglox Pegasus was turned into a flying horse like Pegasus, Muglox Cygnus was turned into a quadruple sized whooper swan, and Muglox Dragon was turned into a dragon like Draco! However, Muglox Andromeda was turned into a canary in clothes of a footman while Muglox Phoenix was turned into a Firebird in clothes of a coachman!

Tutu and her companions lined up together. "Now, let's take a look at everything up close!" "Great!" Agreed Himeko. Fakir offered her his hand and she took it. They floated outside of the window magically. "Whee!" Squealed Himeko. When they landed, Tutu's right! Everything that they created for Himeko was wonderful in closer view!

Mytho then reached into his bag. "And now, one more finishing touch." What he pulled out is a pair of silver colored pointe shoes! "Pretty toe shoes!" Exclaimed Himeko with her eyes glittering with joy. Mytho handed them to her. "Aren't they special?" Asked Tutu. Himeko smiled. Mytho said. "Go on, try them on." When she did, Himeko discovered that they actually fit her shoe size! She stood on the tip of her new shoes and danced happily! She felt perfect to be a ballerina! "They really fit me! Ha ha! I feel like dancing the Pas De Deux of Life forever!" "We should give you a ballerina name for you." Said Fakir. He and his friends stopped to think. Mytho had one eventually. "How about, Lyra Himeko?" Himeko clapped her hands and said "Ooh! I love that very much!" "That'll be a good choice." Said Rue. "Well, there we have it." Said Tutu. "Yes. You'll be called, Princess Lyra Himeko. The dancing soul of the Lyra Constellation." "That sounds pretty" Himeko giggled.

Then, Himeko stepped into the chariot with some help from the transformed Andromeda and Phoenix fairies. "Thank you." She said to them. Before Muglox Andromeda closed the door, Tutu spoke. "Have a wonderful time, dear." But, Rue warned Himeko. "However, you must beware." "Eh? Of what?" Asked the surpised Himeko. Mytho explained. "With magic, there's always a catch. All of this magic wears off after midnight." "Yes." Said Fakir. "So you and these fairies have to be sure you're all back by the time when flame of Pisces on the great clock vanishes into thin air!"

Himeko nodded her head and said. "I'll remember. Thank you for everything, Princess Tutu, Princess Rue, Prince Mytho, and Prince Fakir." Tutu and Rue curtsied while Mytho and Fakir bowed. "You're most welcome!" They all said in unison. Muglox Andromeda, the footman closed the door and got himself ready to ride on the back seat. "I wish you to have a good time. Goodnight, Lyra Himeko." Said Tutu. Then she turned to the transformed Phoenix Fairy. "Driver Phoenix, let's get this Lyra Ballerina to the ball!" He nodded and cried out. "Hiya!"

Pegasus, Dragon, and Cygnus started flying up into the night sky and as they did, Himeko waved to Tutu, Rue, Mytho, and Fakir. They flew off as a flying cloud of star dust all the way to the Sanctuary.

Tutu and her comrades watched them go. She turned to them and said. "Well, our work is done here." They danced until they vanished into thin air with a speck of light!
