Kara had just gotten home. The tears had ceased, but nothing would ever heal her broken heart.

Lois and Chloe had just gotten home from work too. The three of them met at the door.

Unlike their normal spunky selves, each girl was in her own world, battling some horrible feeling.

Lois was scared, Chloe was unsure and Kara was heartbroken. Kara took a look around at her friends and sighed.

"We can't do this," Kara shook her head. "Lois is getting married. Look at us, we're not even giggling."

"Yeah," Chloe said half-heartedly.

"What's happened to you guys?" Kara asked concerned. "You know you can tell me anything."

"It's nothing," Lois scoffed.

Kara looked at her.

"I-I…Clark is a great guy, but I'm scared about tomorrow night," Lois started. Kara's eyes widened and she forgot about Oliver for the minute.

"The wedding is tomorrow night?" she asked excitedly. "I can't wait!"

"So, have we found a dress?" Chloe asked her interest evident.

"I'm wearing my Mother's wedding dress," Lois told them

"That's wonderful," Kara said happily.

"What about you, Chlo?" Lois asked her cousin.

"I'm fine, really," Chloe said.

"No, you're not," Kara grinned.

"Okay," Chloe smiled. "You go me. King Bruce asked me to work at the Gotham Gazette!"

"That's great!" Kara smiled.

"That means…you're leaving," Lois whispered.

"I haven't decided yet," Chloe reminded.

"What's to decide? That is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, Cuz. I'm not letting you forsake an something like that," Lois gave a sad smile.

"It doesn't mean we won't miss you like crazy!" Kara laughed.

Lois and Chloe joined in on the laughter too and then they both looked at each other.

"Kara, why were you crying?" Lois asked gently.

"I wasn't crying," Kara forced a laugh.

"Yes you-" Lois was interrupted by a horseman pulling up at the house.

"Can I talk to Sir Samuel?" he asked officially.

"He's not here," Lois said warily. "I'm his daughter."

"Wonderful!" the man removed some parchment from his coat pocket. "Here is Sir Samuel's invitation to the King's Engagement Party, Lady Martha's invitation to the King's Engagement Party, and…" he fished around for something. "King Bruce has requested a Chloe Sullivan to be his date for the evening."

He handed the invites to Lois and took off. Lois and Chloe turned to Kara who had tears in her eyes.

"You're shaking," Chloe said as she held Kara. Kara fell to the ground and started sobbing.

Dinah was making sure that everything was perfect for her engagement to the king.

"Is the music covered?" she asked.

"Yes, the All-American Rejects-" she interrupted her assistant.

"Rejects? What is this America they speak of?"

"I assure you, they are very good-"

"Whatever," Dinah flipped her hair.

--

"Kara," Lois soothed. "What happened?"

Her choked cries stopped. "I loved him," she said.

"Who?" Chloe asked.

"Oliver, I truly loved him-"

"The king?" Chloe and Lois said at the same time.

Kara nodded. "He asked me to marry him. I couldn't, the Royal Court didn't allow it," she started crying again. "I should probably go back to the castle and prepare for the party tonight."

She left.

"Her heart's broken and she's going to work?" Lois asked bewildered.

Chloe sighed, Both of the girls went inside.

"Where's Clark?" Lois asked.

--

Kara started sweeping the ballroom again.

"Does it really get dirty everyday?" she mumbled.

"You'd be surprised," a voice behind her said gently.

Kara turned around and curtsied. "Your Highness," she greeted.

"Kara," Oliver pleaded. "Don't do this. I'll give up the throne. Star Kingdom will be in good hands!"

Tears welled up in her eyes, but she wiped them away. "You shirk your duties as king, Oliver," she shook her head. "You love Dinah, remember?"

"Kara, she got me at a bad time!" he cried. "Please," he whispered.

"No Oliver, I loved you. Now, I'm not so sure. You're going to start a new life with Dinah-"

"I don't want to!" he yelled.

"Don't hate me, Oliver," Kara walked away.

"You can't hate ever someone you've truly loved, Kara," Oliver whispered after she left.

Kara ran to another corridor, the one where the precession would take place. She saw some servants putting up banners. They were the symbols of the many kingdoms. A white banner was put up. It's emblem was a pentagon with an S in the middle. It was the same one as what was on Kara's blanket.

"What?" her tears stopped.

--

After the engagement, there was a feast. A cheer was heard around and once in a long time, Dinah truly smiled.

"Star Kingdom will flourish under our rein," she whispered in Oliver's ear. He gave a weak smile before returning his meal.
