A/N: Gah! Sorry I couldn't update soon enough.

I'll try to update weekly now.


-Chapter 3: Rin's POV-

My wacky family ran all over the place, just for this stupid ball. What's so special about this ball anyway? Prince... Ren or something like that is going to choose his bride. Big whoop! I sighed with weariness. When will this day end? "Rin, we'll be back in an hour for... things! I expect you to keep working." Miki commanded, and left the house with my stepsisters. "Finally!" I exclaimed. I stopped working and went downstairs to eat. Hm... Bread, apples, ah! Oranges, my favorite ~ I ate the first one in seconds, after peeling the skin off of course. Knock, knock. I sighed and walked to the door. A blonde girl with violet eyes stood in front of me, "Are you... uh Rin Kagamine?" I narrowed my eyes, "Why?" The girl grinned, "A letter for you!" I blinked a couple times. A letter for me? "Ah... are you sure it's for me?" The girl nodded and handed me an envelope with a peach crest on it. "Who's it from?" The girl stared at me for a moment. "Ah... Can't say!" The girl ran to the gate of the house. "Ah! Wait!" When I grabbed her shoulder, she disappeared. Hm... that's strange.

I opened the letter immediately. The paper was blank. Psh... I knew it, it was a prank. I entered the house and put the letter in the fireplace. "There is no way someone would send me a letter." I watched the fire steadily burn the letter. I went back into the kitchen to get more oranges. Bong... Bong... The grandfather's ring echoed in the house. "They'll be back in 30 minutes..." I muttered to myself. I slowly walked up the stairs. Ugh, more work.

I opened the door to the attic and saw the girl that handed me the letter stare at me. "Ah... I didn't think you would find me this soon..." She muttered in a soft voice. I was startled and grabbed the nearest object, a vase. "WHO THE HELL ARE YOU?" I raised the vase above my head. "Don't worry! I'm not going to do anything to you. I'm Miyuki Tsukine, your fairy godmother's apprentice ~" she sang out. I blinked at her and chuckled. "Yeah, sure I believe you. Now, tell me who paid you to do this." Miyuki, if that's even her real name, shook her head. "No! I'm telling the truth! Your fairy godmother is sick today. So I decided to step in!" I gave her a stern look. "Uh huh. And who is this fairy godmother of mine?" Miyuki sighed, "Lin Haine, of course. You never met her?" I shook my head. Miyuki paced around the room. "Hm... I see."

"RIN! WE'RE HOME!" Uh-oh! They're back. "Listen, you shouldn't be here. Go uh... Jump out of the window to escape." I pointed to the window. "If you want me to leave..." Miyuki walked past me and out of the door. "What? Wait! Not out there!" I ran after her and saw Teto in front of me. "What are you up to?" She glared at me with suspicion. I saw Miyuki walk past Neru and Miki. 'They can't see her?' I thought. "Uh, nothing much." I glanced the other way. "Hmph... what a weird girl." I heard Miki murmur. They left me in the attic for me to work. Hmph! I dreamed about showing them up at the ball in a beautiful dress, and gloated about how I danced with the prince after that. Haha... That's totally impossible.

Time passed as I put the finishing touches to their gowns. "Done!" I rejoiced. Teto and Neru barged into the room. "Good enough." Teto said quickly and ran to with the gown. Neru scoffed, "Pretty good, I guess." and followed her. An hour until the ball, what joy. I trudged down the stairs and saw Miki, in the ugliest hairdo I've ever seen. I somehow limited my laughing to a little giggle. She looked like a watermelon! Neru and Teto walked downstairs 30 minutes later. "Well girls, let's go." Miki started walking to the door and suddenly paused. "Go to the attic." She started to walk towards me. Miki grabbed my arm and lead me there. "See you, midnight." Miki chortled and locked the door. "Wha- Hey! Let me out!" I rushed to the door, but it didn't budge. I ran to the window and saw the carriage fade into the night. "Now I'm stuck here..." I sat on the wood stool. "No you're not!" A voice echoed. "Wha-" Miyuki appeared in front of me. "I'll take you to the ball! Don't worry!" She smirked and waved her... uh wand? "What? I don't want to-!" A bright, white light surrounded me.

Miyuki grinned and snapped her fingers. A mirror appeared in front of me. I stared at it with astonish. "T-this is me!" I twirled around. I looked like a princess! My hair was clean and clear, my dress was gorgeous, and my shoes... were made of glass! "So how am I going to get out of here?" I asked. Miyuki pointed her wand at the door and it opened. "Meet you outside!" She disappeared into thin air. I hurried down the stairs. "This is so exciting!" I exclaimed in my mind. I walked outside and saw Miyuki grin at me. "This is your carriage, Miss Rin." I walked past her and gazed with awe. "I'll be your driver for tonight." A boy, that looked just like Miyuki kissed my hand. He let go and smirked at me. Miyuki pushed him in the way, "Don't mind him, he's just the driver." The boy sighed, "At least introduce me. My name is Shiki Tsukine, I'm Miyuki's twin brother." He shook my hand and went to his post. "What an annoying guy..." I heard Miyuki mutter. Miyuki put the matter aside and grinned at me, "Now let get this show on the road!"

Len's POV

I quickly wore my costume for the night. I can't believe 9 hours passed after all that reading. "Prince, don't forget this." The maid bowed and gave me a mask. "Right... it's a masquerade ball." I muttered and put on the mask. "Len, you done yet?" Miku barged in the room. I nodded and left my room. "There's a lot of people out there! There's no way people will find out you're the prince." Miku rejoiced. Yeah, fun alright, no one knowing my identity. Miku opened the doors and I saw hundreds of people, talking, and giggling. "Come on!" Miku urged me to dance. The orchestra played wonderfully, and the food looked delicious. "I wonder where the prince is!" I heard a girl yell. I rolled my eyes, I'm right next to you, dimwit. A girl with pink... uh drills stood in front of me. "Sorry I have a-" I looked around for Miku. Where is she! I sighed and bowed down in front of her, "Care to dance?" She gulped and nodded. I say, the girl dance horribly. She kept stepping on my foot, now I know how Luka felt.

I stopped dancing with her when a girl with a long ponytail on the side of her head grabbed her. I stood next to the food and grabbed a banana. I spotted Miku dance with a man with blue hair. At least she's having fun, but wait... where is Mikuo? I looked around for any other teal guys. He was flirting with the girl that interrupted my dance with the pink drill girl. I sighed, this party is boring as ever. I stepped out of the ballroom and to the outside of the entrance. I saw no one that was fit to be my bride-to-be in that room. When will the girl for me appear?

Miyuki's POV

I pushed Rin into the carriage after she suddenly didn't want to go. I entered too, just in case. "Why are you here?" She asked me. "I'm going to the ball, too. It should be fun!" I lied. It's not going to be fun. "Well in that case I'm going too!" Shiki yelled. I can't believe he's eavesdropping on us. "Oh yeah! Here, I forgot about the mask." I gave her a yellow mask. "Oh right, it's a masquerade." She sighed and put it on. I gave her the letter she threw in the fireplace. It was the invitation to the ball! Can't believe she threw it away. We arrived around 10 minutes later. Rin came out the carriage door first. I snapped my fingers and I was ready for the masquerade. Shiki almost shut the door on me when I came out. I checked his outfit and nodded, "It will do." Shiki rolled his eyes and checked my dress. "Good enough." He muttered. Rin stared at the castle with awe. "So this is where the prince lives..." She whispered to herself. Shiki asked if he could walk her to the ball. She was about to say yes until I butted in. "No! The prince will think she's with you! You come with me." I grabbed his hand and walked to the ballroom. The prince passed by us. I smirked, mission accomplished.

Rin's POV

I watched as the two of them walk to the ballroom. I giggled, they're such a cute pair. I walked slowly up the stairs to the castle. I stopped when a charming boy stood in front of me. His blonde hair was tied up to a ponytail, and even if he wore a mask, I bet a handsome face hid under it. I blushed at the sight of him. He gave me a glance, I flinched at his grin. As he walked to me, my heartbeat accelerated. He bowed and I curtsied. "Care to dance?" he asked smoothly. I gulped, dance? I sighed and nodded. He walked me to the ballroom.

He gently took the lead of the dance. His eyes were transfixed on mine. I unconsciously followed his lead. I didn't even know I could dance! All eyes were on us, couples looking at us with envy. "They make quite a couple ~" A familiar voice sang. I glanced at the direction of the voice, Miyuki and Shiki waved at me. I lost my focus and stopped dancing. My partner looked at me, confused. "I-i sorry, it's just this is just too... surreal." I muttered to him. He chuckled softly, "But it's not."

A girl with nice green hair walked up to us and asked my partner if he could dance with her. I sighed, moments like this don't last do they? I curtsied and made my way to Miyuki and Shiki. "Soooo? How was the dancing?" Miyuki giggled. "Ah... average, I guess..." I muttered. Miyuki and Shiki scoffed at my comment about the dance. "Ha! Sure, it's average alright. Admit it, Rin, it was amazing." I hung my head. "Can't fool fairies can I?" Miyuki chuckled with delight. "Rinny is in love!" Shiki rolled his eyes at the comment.

I noticed the ballroom's decoration. I didn't realize the banana aroma until now. A teal-haired girl approached us. She looked so beautiful with the green dress, it matched her hair. "How do you do?" she curtsied. "Uh... fine, I guess?" She giggled at my response. "I'll just get to the point. What do you think about the person that just danced with you?" Uh... that was an odd question. "He is-" Miyuki interrupted my sentence, "Why, she's in loooove." She emphasized the word "love". The girl clapped her hands together. "Perfect! You come with me!" She took me to a guy with teal hair. "Mikuo! She is the one ~" the girl rejoiced. The boy nodded and gave me a grin, "And he was so mad about this ball. Hmph, at least he found someone..." I glared at this Mikuo guy, he was checking my figure. The girl seemed to notice and slapped his head.

Len's POV

I got tired of dancing with the girl in green, she ruined the dance between the other girl... That girl, she looked so... nostalgic. Can it be that girl? I sighed, probably impossible that I would meet her here... or is it? A guy with teal hair approached me, probably Mikuo. "Len, we found her ~" I gave him a quizzical look. "Oh really? You think you found the one?" He nodded earnestly. I sighed, I'll just see who it is. He lead me to Miku who was standing near the entrance to the garden. "Hehe ~ Len, take off your mask!" I took a step back. "Why?" Miku took off my mask, and pushed me out into the garden. "Wha- HEY!" Miku already locked the door. My two cousins waved me good-bye, with their nonchalant expression. I turned and faced the garden. The aroma of flowers welcomed me. I looked for the girl they thought was the "one for me".
