Chapter 6: The important decision that will decide a girl's whole life.

"Stella, you must know that this decision doesn't depend on only you. Don't you want to save the folks of your kingdom? No? Is it what a princess should do? I don't think so." He smiled, in an evil way.

"You…"

"Make a decision, hurry! I don't have much time!" Eric growled.

"Geez… But I need time! Have you ever seen any girl that makes her decision about marriage in one or two minutes?" Stella also growled, she was clueless of what to do.

"Fine," he lowered his voice. "Before Eclipse started, give me the answer."

"Eclipse…" Tecna whispered to Musa.

"That's three days more." Flora said.

"Stella, you shouldn't…" Layla was about to continue, but Stella rose her hand, made a sign for her to stop.

"Okay, I accept it. The answer will be given on the day before Eclipse."

On the ship… [Note: It can be some egg-liked flying device, but I don't know exactly its name.]

"Stella, you should consider very carefully about this, it's the decision that may change your life," Brandon walked towards her. She hadn't moved a single inch since she got on the ship. Her eyes were shut, with several things in her head at the moment.

"Is there any other way to get the kingdom back without that marriage?" Asked Layla.

"We haven't got much information yet, so I supposed there's still some ways that we haven't figured it out," said Bloom.

"So maybe we should pay a visit to inside of the castle?," Roxy winked, "you know, the very deep inside the castle."

"I have checked it, it's not very deep." Tecna pulled out her bee. "That room we saw is just a small room, but contains an enormous energy inside."

"Great job, Tecna!" Musa laughed, looking at the screen.

Flora wondered, what could it be, that enormous energy inside the mysterious room that Tecna mentioned.

"Many things, but the only way to find out is sneaking in." Sky said, which gave Flora a shocked, he seemed to be able to read her thoughts.

"Great idea!" Stella opened her eyes widely, "so here's the plan. It's classic and very simple. I will marry Eric."

"What?" Brandon stood up, "You can't do that! We can still save your kingdom without the wedding!"

"With the present situation, I'm afraid we can't. As Bloom said, we need more information. I will distract him, while you guys get inside and find out what that mystery energy is." Stella smiled, as she was very confident.

Flora sighed, she knew that Stella would come up with such a plan. " That's too dangerous."

"Yeah, the situation may turn up side down at any time…"

"Guys, guys, guys. Don't worry, I'll be fine. Even without my power, I still have my nature talent, trust me." Stella laughed.

"But…"

"No, you have to understand. Being a princess, there aren't just royalty, richness or power. There's also responsibility. Big responsibility."

Bloom lowered her head. She thought about Domino again. What Stella said was true. She felt useless for her kingdom.

"Bloom, you do understand, don't you?" Stella looked at her best friend, who was going to let out a tear.

"Yes, I do." Bloom gave Stella a tight hug. "I can't let what happened to Domino happen to Solaria, not one more time," she started to cry.

"And Andros?" Stella looked at Layla, "Layla, do you remember that day when Valtor escaped? Do you remember how terrible was the damage to your kingdom?"

Layla joined their hug too. "How could I forget," she whispered.

"Roxy?"

"You don't need to mention that," Roxy rushed into the girls and did the same thing as Layla.

"How about you girls?" Stella looked up, and waited for the rest to answer.

"They agreed, so why don't we?" Tecna smiled, and three of them ran towards their friends and hugged.

"When will we start?" Brandon asked. He knew that nothing would change their mind now, since they said so.

"I will give you the map of the castle. All you need to do is to pretend that you are new servants. While I distract him, you will sneak in." Stella said.

"Do we have to join too?" asked Sky.

"Aw come on, Sky," Bloom held his hands and said. "It will be fun! Take it as an adventure!"

He looked at other Specialists, and sighed, "OK then… we will come."

"Thanks, guys," Bloom smiled and gave him a tight hug.

"So it's settled. Tomorrow, meet us at the Frutti Music Bar, 3 p.m. We will discuss about the plan there." Stella concluded.
