Chapter 7: The Ball
Yugi was sitting at the table with her mother and grandfather, eating breakfast.
"Hey, listen to this, Princess Flora is coming to Domino City to hold a ball and show off her priceless possession, a crystal," Grandpa said from reading the newspaper. Yugi choked on her cereal.
"Princess? Crystal?" Yugi repeated.
"That princess might be the one we are looking for and maybe the crystal is the Pure Heart crystal," she thought.

"You girls have to go to that ball," Isis said after Yugi reported about Princess Flora to her and the three other guardians.
"Can we really go there? I mean, it's formal and everything," Joey asked.
"Yes, lots of people are invited, including teens. We may have found her," Isis answered.
"But how are we going to find gowns for this? We won't be able have fancy dresses until prom or something," Ryou asked.
"Yugi's transformation pen can help us in that depend. Not only she use it to change herself, but others can be transformed at her will."
"That's cool!"
"I guess we're going to the ball then," Malik said.
"Yup."
"Wait, what does Princess Flora look like? When we need to know, so when we spot her, we could find out if she's our princess," said Joey.
"Let me use my computer to see," Ryou told her, pulling out her small green and pink computer that Isis gave her. After typing in a few things, she jumped at the picture she found.
"Uh... I found her," Ryou said. They all looked at the small computer screen. The princess wasn't pretty. She kind of like a geek for a princess.
"Yikes, well, looks aren't everything," Malik said.
"Right," they all agreed.
"So, you're all going to that ball," Isis said.
________________________________________________
The night came. Yugi, Ryou, Joey, Malik, and Isis were outside the huge mansion with the party was held.
"Go on, Yugi," Isis told the smallest of the group.
"Transformation Pen! Turn us into beautiful princesses!" Yugi ordered the pen. Four colored light left the pen and swirled around the guardians.
A light purple light surrounded Malik. It absorb into her body and changing it. She now wore a violet ruffled gown, violet high heels, a tiara with purple stones on her head with a violet in her hair, elbow-long violet elegant gloves, and a topaz necklace.
A yellow light surround Joey. After absorbing in her body, she changed. She wore a yellow semi-formal dress that was still fancy enough for this ball, her hair had a few curls in it with a tiara with aquamarine jewels and a poppy flower, yellow sandal heels, and a sapphire necklace.
A green and pink light came to Ryou. After entering her body, she transformed. She wore a green mermaid-style gown with a pink sash, pink ankle-high boot heels, white wrist-long gloves, her hair was in a high ponytail, tied by a pink ribbon, a tiara with diamonds was on her head, a eglantine rose was in her hair, and a emerald necklace was around her neck.
A white light surround to Yugi. After going into her body, it transformed her. She wore a white princess-style gown with lace, white high heels, a tiara with amethyst jewels was on her head, a white lily was in her hair, and a ruby necklace around her neck.
Each of them became very beautiful. They looked just like princesses.
"You all look wonderful. Let's go in," Isis said.
"Right!"

As the guardian entered the ball in their princess disguises, they got a lot of attention. No one knew who they were.
"Girls, spilt up. Keep an eye out for anything. I'll look for Princess Flora. Until then, go on and enjoy yourselves," Isis said running off.
"Might as well," Malik said. The four girls went off in different directions.
_______________________________________________
Malik was walking around the ballroom. She was getting bored. Many people were staring.
"Man, this is so boring," she muttered.
"Do you wish for me to take care of that for?" asked a voice as arms wrapped themselves around her waist.
"Not again!" Malik thought annoyed.
"Let go!" she ordered, throwing a punch. She hit her target, which was someone who looked like the Topaz Knight.
He chuckled, rubbing the red spot on his cheek.
"My my, you're stronger than I thought, Guardian Violet," he commented, whispered her name, "Now forgive me for entering your personal bubble, but I want to get to know you. You are quite lovely."
Malik blushed. "Fine! But keep your distance!"
"As you wish, but would you like to dance?" said the Topaz Knight.
"Fine, but if you try anything funny, you'll regret it," Malik warned.
"I get the idea and I have no doubt that you would carry out that threat. Now shall we?"
Topaz offered his arm. Malik took it as he led her to the dance floor. The guardian of violets felt that this was familiar.
_______________________________________________
As Joey drank her cup of punch, she watched out for people. Some girls were getting her glares. She wondered why if they didn't know about her as Josphina Wheeler.
"You look bored, puppy," the Sapphire Knight said as he approached her.
"What are you doing here?" Joey asked.
"No need for you to know."
"Anyway, to answer your question, I'm not bored. I'm just don't like the glares," she answered blushing. Sapphire looked around and saw the glares, chuckling.
"The glares are from jealousy from seeing a beautiful little princess," he said.
"You're not serious," Joey said.
"But I am, puppy. You are very beautiful."
Joey felt odd about this guy. He seem to be familiar and seem to be able to be trusted.

Ryou walked out into the gardens.
"This place is amazing," she said, looking at all the flowers, "The girls will love it here too."
"This place is beautiful, is it?" Ryou turned to the source of the voice. She saw the Emerald Knight.
"You look gorgeous, Guardian Eglantine Rose," he comment, making Ryou blush.
"Thank you," she said, shivering a little bit from the cold. The Emerald Knight wrapped his arm, along with his cape, around her shoulders.
"Let's sit down and talk. I'll keep you warm," Emerald told her. Ryou nodded, feeling comfortably warm. She felt as if she knew him before this more personally.
_______________________________________________
Yugi walked around too, wondering where her friends were at.
"I hope they're having fun while waiting for Isis or Princess Flora," she thought, "It's so lonely right now. I haven't felt lonely since before I became Guardian Lily. I sure don't miss this feeling. I want it to go away again!"
Suddenly, Yugi tripped over the hem of her gown. She was prepared to feel the impact on the ground. Yet, it never came. Instead, she felt an arm wrap around her waist.
"Quite a klutz, aren't you, little one?" asked a familiar voice. Yugi looked up to see the Ruby Knight!
"R-Ruby?! I'm sorry. Thank you for catching me," she said, blushing. He chuckled.
"When I first saw you, I thought that there was another princess was here. You look quite beautiful, Lily," Yami said.
"Thank you."
"May I have this dance?" he asked, taking her hand and wrapping an arm around her waist.
"I would love to, but are you sure? You know that I'm clumsy," Yugi answered.
"Of course, I'm sure," he said.
The two waltzed together. Yugi was surprised that she could dance with him without tripping up. She felt warm and secure in his arms. It felt like she danced with him before. She was having fun.
"You have a beautiful smile, Lily," the Ruby Knight told her, making her blushing again.
"Thank you. I was actually lonely by myself," Yugi said.
"Really? You don't like being alone?" asked Ruby.
"Yeah, I use to be alone all the time since..."
"Since when?"
Yugi started to feel uncomfortable about talking the period of loneliness she felt and when it began. Before she could answer, a commotion began.
"Lily!" Isis yelled, running over to the couple, "The Evil Force possess Princess Flora and she has her treasure with her!"
"Excuse me, Ruby Knight, I have to go," Yugi told her knight friend, picked up the hem of her gown and ran, following her feline friend.
"Lily, wait!" The Ruby Knight ran after her.

"Bring the crystal to me," the monster commanded the controlled Princess Flora from underneath the balcony where she was at.
"Yes, master," she said.
"Stop! Don't give it to it!" Yugi said, running towards Princess Flora.
She was about to grab her away from the rails of the balcony, but the princess dodged her. Yugi fell over the balcony! She fell until a hand grasped her wrist. She looked up to the Ruby Knight's masked face.
"Ruby!"
"Hang on. I'm not going to let go of you," Ruby said.
"Lily!" shouted Joey, Ryou, and Malik as they ran towards them. Princess Flora launched a dark attack to push them back and made everyone, except the guardians, Isis, and the knights, fall asleep. The Emerald Knight, Sapphire Knight, and Topaz Knight caught the guardian from the attack.
Yami's grip on Yugi's wrist was slipping a little, but he wasn't willing to let her fall to her demise. He was getting desperate. Guardian Lily was the lightest person in the world, yet he couldn't pull her back up.
"Lily, just hang on. I'm not... I'm not going to let you down!" Ruby said. Lily looked up at him, seeing a single tear going down his face from his hidden eyes.
"It's okay..." Yugi whispered, closing her eyes. Her body started to glow with a bright light. Wings expand from her back. They flapped once, lifting her into the Ruby Knight's arms. Then her light intensified. It purified the monster underneath and the power that possess Princess Flora.
"Whoa, my powers are growing," Yugi said when it dimmed away. She felt the Ruby Knight's grip on her tighten.
"But that's not power of Guardian Lily. It's something else. What are you really, Yugi?" Isis thought.
Princess Flora was unconscious with her glasses off, revealing a pretty face. Isis told them that she was self-conscious abou herself because she didn't feel beautiful and no one cared about her. Ryou place a handy case of contact lens in her hand to help her.
When everyone woke-up, the ball continued. Isis let the girls stay longer. Guaridan Lily danced the Ruby Knight, Guardian Eglantine Rose danced with the Emerald Knight, Guardian Poppy danced with the Sapphire Knight, and Guardian Violet danced with the Topaz Knight. It was a lovely romantic night where the guardians were finding themselves falling in love with their knights. They found it right.
When the ball ended, the knights took the flowers in the guardians' hairs (the white lily, the eglantine rose, the yellow poppy, and the violet) and gave them their flowers (the red lily, the iris, the blue rose, and the lavender). The knights place a small kiss on their guardian's lips before leaving, leaving the girls blushing and happy.
