Chapter four

Luna's PoV

I arrived home a little after 6:00 p.m, so I didn't have much time to spare. "Mother I'm home! I have something very important to ask you!" I shouted when I passed through my front door. "Calm down child. You're awfully loud for this time of day. Now come darling, I am in the kitchen." I dashed into the kitchen and took a sit at the kitchen table. "Mother I have something to ask you." I said panting, out of breath from my previous action. My mother giggled. "Yes I'm aware of that, Luna. Now please ask the question already, as you can see, I am a bit busy at the moment." Not really noticing until now I realized she was cooking dinner for us. I shot of guilt struck my heart. 'How selfish can I be? I can't leave mother to eat dinner alone. She is already started to cook for the both of us." I started to think sadly. "Well, I'm waiting to hear the question sweetheart."

I looked up to see that my mother stopped what she was doing and took a seat next to me at the table. "Oh…never mind it wasn't as important as I thought it was." I was about to get up from the table, my mother took my hand. "Luna Stillwater you are not going anywhere until I hear what this question is." I rolled my eyes and smiled realizing that she was not going to let me leave until I tell her my question. "Alright… well you see I was invited to a ball tonight and wasn't informed until just today. The ball starts at 8:45 tonight, but I must arrive at the Vessalius mansion at 7:15. I wanted your approval to see if I may go night."

Thinking she was going to say no, I stood up and was about to go to my quarters. "Now hold on their missy. You're going to that ball tonight. Hurry up and get dressed! Oh, my little girl is going to her first ball how exciting!" "But mom…I don't want to leave you alone for dinner." I replied. She gave me a stern look. "Honey I'm a grown women. I think I can take care of myself. Now look it's already 6:18 you get your butt upstairs and get dress I do NOT want you to be late for this understood? "Just when I was going to say something, she jumped in saying "GO!" I ran upstairs quickly putting on my best dress, fixing my hair and putting a slight amount of makeup. I ran back down stair and was ready to jump out the door when I stopped and turned around. "Mother?" I said, getting her attention once more. "Yes~." She said in a cheerful tone. "I love you." I said, meaning every word. She smiled and just said "I know." Then I ran out the door, running to make it to my nighttime getaway.

Gil PoV

"Oh my, if Miss Luna does not arrive soon we will have to leave without her." I said aloud. I was in front of the mansion, waiting for our carriages to arrive, along besides me were Break, Little Miss B-Rabbit, Sharon and Oz. "She's coming, don't worry so much Gil." Oz said confidently. "You seem a bit too sure of yourself, Oz. Maybe you should get some candy to keep your mouth shut." Break said with a smile, but the aura around him was surely not a pleasant one. "Maybe you should eat some candy yourself, Break. It might help you from saying stupid things." Oz replied annoyed.

I have noticed that every since Miss Luna came along, those two haven't shown each other any kindness what so ever. "Well it seems that your worry can come to an end now, Gilbert, our little princess has arrived." Break said to me, obviously ignoring Master Oz's rude reply. Oz looked slightly fumed at his "little princess" comment. "Really now?" I replied. I looked around and then saw here running towards us. "I am so very sorry for making you wait! I hope this is dress is appropriate enough for the occasion."She said out of breath.

I looked at her attire to see if it was proper or not. She had two pink bows in her hair that made two little pigtails. She also wore light pink dress that went to her ankles and wore matching shoes. "You are dressed fine." I replied. Personally I thought she looked like an adorable doll that you would see in a little girl's doll house. "Gil, the carriages have arrived." Sharon informed me. Two black carriages pulled up in front of us, ready to take us away in the night. "Alright now everyone takes a seat in the carriages, we do not want to be late." I declared. In the corner of my eye I saw that Break was trying to talk to Miss Luna, maybe trying to convince her to ride in the same carriage as he. She clearly looked irritated at him and rushed into a different carriage. "I wonder what happened with those two; it seemed they were getting along just fine before." I said aloud. "Those two, you mean Xerxes Break and Luna? Break is clearly annoying her and she just want him to leave her alone. He just doesn't understand that." Oz replied. He sounded like he was saying this so Break could hear him. "Well…ok then. Come now we must be going." I said, in slight doubt that what Master Oz said was completely true. After that we jumped into and started on our way.

Break's PoV

"Well it seems that your worry can come to an end how, Gilbert, our little princess has arrived." I said, with the intent of getting Oz's annoyed. Judging by his expression, it seems I had succeeded. It brings me much joy to see that I'm getting under Oz's skin. Since we are now in war I am trying to get him as annoyed as possible, mainly for my own amusement. I turned to take a better look at Luna. 'She looks exquisite tonight." I thought. I made my way towards her slowly, knowing that if she noticed me walking towards here she would probably be fumed again and take off in the other direction. I quietly snuck up behind her and whispered. "You look beautiful tonight you know." She jumped slightly, giggled, and then said. "Thank you! ~" She turned around with a smile and then she froze. "…O…it's you. I told you that if you approach me there are going to be some problems. Now what do you want?" "Why, is that how you act when someone compliments you? You made me quite sad now Luna-Chan." I replied to her cold question. "You didn't answer me. Now what do you want?" Her angry really showing now. "Luna-Chan, how long are you going to stay mad at me? Look come in my carriage and we shall sent things straight ok?" I said while grabbing her hand towards the carriage. "NO!" She jerks her hand away from mine. I turned around and saw her face. She didn't look mad; she just looked really upset and miserable. "Luna-Chan…?" I was truly concerned, I know seeing me must upset her, but I wouldn't think this much though. "Do NOT call me that Break." Her voice cracking, as if she was about to cry. "Luna- Chan please, I-"That was all I got to say when she interrupted me to say said. "Please…please Break...just leave me alone. I do not want to go and talk with you just yet. I'm really confused about…things right now. Please just let me be!" Her anger rose up again and she quickly ran into a different carriage. Instead of being upset, I just smirked. "Well then, she seems to be getting over it slowly. After all did talk to me. Ah, I love her and her crazy emotions. I'll get her back and then Oz will have the biggest fit. I am counting the days of when I get to see that." I said cheerfully to myself. Then I walked towards the carriage and stepped inside.
