Chapter 7:

"Now this dress looks magnificent on you."

Frigga said excitedly as she and Chloe watched Adriel come out from behind the changing screen. Adriel smiled as she walked up to the platform that had large elaborate mirrors that were hanging on the walls.

The dress was truly beautiful but it was a sapphire blue and she really wanted to wear a green dress for the Asgardian Ball so she could match Loki. She saw the dress maker look at her expectantly hoping that she would like her work and then noticed Chloe standing there excitedly. "Yeah Adri this dress is beautiful!" Adriel smiled over at the three women and then looked back at the mirror.

"It's beautiful but there's only one problem with it."

The dressmaker looked at her with a saddened yet irritated expression as she waved her hands anxiously. "What could possibly be wrong with this dress!? This dress is perfect for you!" Adriel smiled as she looked back at the dressmaker.

"It's amazing however it's not green."

The dressmaker frowned while Frigga smiled. "I understand now." The dressmaker scoffed while she placed her hands on her hips. "Well I am glad that someone does because I don't understand the significance of the color!" Adriel chuckled and gently shook her head. "My date is wearing green." Chloe smirked and looked over at Frigga who was grinning from ear to ear.

"Your date!?" The dressmaker said completely confused.

Adriel chuckled and gently nodded her head. "Yes my escort is wearing green and I would like to match him." The dressmaker sighed and then looked over at her various gowns that she had brought. "I believe that I do have one green dress that would look very elegant for you to wear." She said as she walked over to her large variety of dresses. Frigga walked up to Adriel while they were waiting and gave her a warm smile.

"I appreciate you taking such an interest in this ball." She said softly.

Adriel looked over at her and grinned. "Well I am looking very forward to attending." Frigga placed her hands on Adriel's shoulders as they both looked into the mirror staring at their reflections. "Loki has a good heart. He's just very misunderstood but he means well. I think he is quite taken with you, he usually does not warm up to anyone but he has with you." Adriel gave her a confused look, her nerves starting to fire up. "How do you know?" Frigga chuckled as she looked back at her.

"You are the first woman he has asked to attend this ball without my meddling. That means something."

Adriel smiled, she didn't want to let out that she really asked him however she assumed that the fact that he even agreed to going with her meant something and couldn't help but be slightly excited by that notion. Just then, the dressmaker came back with a green silk dress.

"Here my dear I think this would be the ideal dress for you."

Adriel thanked her and gently took the dress from her hands and walked back to the dressing screen. She then pulled off the blue dress and started to put on the green one.

Once she had the dress on she couldn't help but smile. The dress had a classic look that hugged her form perfectly. The dress also had a racer-back that was filled with gems that added elegance to the dress.

There was a sequined band wrapped around her waist with a pendant under the bust and it also had a high slit which gave a seductive feel to the dress. She knew that this dress was perfect for the ball however she just hoped that his mother and her sister approved.

"Come on Adri! Let's see it already!" Chloe yelled.

Adriel then shyly walked out from behind the dressing screen to hear the women gasp. She started to become nervous when she didn't hear anyone say anything and started to fidget with her hands. "Well…? What do you all think?" Chloe placed her hands up to her mouth excitedly while Frigga was grinning from ear to ear.

"You look astonishing my dear. My son will not know what to do with himself."

Adriel smiled and was about to say something until they all heard a deep booming voice. "Mother there you are! I have been searching for you!" Thor said happily as he entered the room.

Just as he did he immediately stopped once he caught sight of Adriel. She looked absolutely stunning in the gown she had on however, there was one problem it wasn't red it was green to match his brother's attire. Thor was silently kicking himself for not asking her to be his escort first and felt slightly irritated that his brother got to her before he could.

"Thor my darling what do you think of Adriel's dress for the Asgardian Ball?"

Frigga asked as she walked up to her son and placed her hands on his arm. Thor smiled at Adriel as she started to become slightly intimidated. "It's lovely however it's the wrong color." Adriel arched her brow at him as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Really? And what color should it be?" Thor grinned at her as he moved closer. "Red of course." Adriel chuckled and gently shook her head.

"Well I think I am wearing the right color; red is an overused color anyways."

Thor chuckled; he liked this woman's fire. "Be that it may my lady however it is a very flattering color and would look exquisite on you." Adriel smirked at him as she started to walk away from him.

"It may look exquisite however I was never a fan of the color red. Green has always been my favorite color anyways."

She said with laughter in her voice as she walked behind the changing screen. "Well then please make me one promise then." Thor called out as Adriel began to change. "What's that?" she asked, Thor grinned as he crossed his arms. "Save a dance for me." Adriel sighed once she had all her clothing on and picked up the dress. "I think I can do that." She said softly as she finally walked out.

"Adri I think that dress is the one you should wear for the ball! Loki is going to lose it when he sees you in it." Chloe said excitedly.

She also wanted to throw Loki's name in there as well because it was obvious to her that Thor was hitting on her sister and to be honest she was starting to favor Loki for her sister more than Thor. Adriel smiled at her sister and looked over at the dressmaker. "I think this will be the one." The dressmaker grinned happily as she took the dress from Adriel.

"Wonderful! I will make sure that the dress, shoes and jewelry will make it to your room by this evening."

Adriel thanked the dressmaker while Frigga looked over at Thor noticing him watching her. "What was the reason in seeking me out my son?" Thor immediately looked back at his mother completely forgetting the reason. "Honestly mother I cannot remember now." Frigga nodded understandingly. "May I give you some sound advice my dear?" Thor nodded while the two sisters were talking excitedly to the dressmaker. "Of course mother." Frigga sighed and gently pulled her son with her so the two sisters could not hear them.

"Your brother has become very attached to her. I suggest that you tread carefully."

She whispered, while Thor then scoffed and shook his head. "Mother trust me it will not become anything. Loki will eventually rack her nerves and she will grow tired of him." Frigga sighed and gently shook her head. "Thor have faith, your brother is a very charming man and if there grows interest between the two of them I do not want you to interfere do you understand me?" Thor sighed and gently nodded his head. "Yes mother." Frigga smiled and then looked over at the two young girls.

"Darlings why don't you come and join me for lunch we have much to discuss about the ball."

Adriel then looked over at Chloe and then back at Frigga. "Yes your majesty." She said softly as they both followed her out of the room. Thor gave Adriel a small smile as she smiled back at him.

Once the women had left Thor allowed out a large sigh. He found Adriel to be such a spit fire and was slightly irritated that his brother has befriended her before he could. He then slowly walked out of the room and started to head down towards the throne room to speak with his father.

As he began to round another corner he saw his brother in the magic room practicing one of his spells. Thor cleared his throat and made his way towards his brother.

"Loki how fare you my brother?"

Loki then stopped what he was doing and looked over at Thor. "I am well dear brother how are you?" Thor shrugged as he started to walk around and examine the room that Loki had made for himself. "I am well. I just recently ran into mother, Lady Adriel and Lady Chloe." Loki arched his brow at his brother, wondering where he was going with this. "Really? How are they?" Thor smiled at him as he picked up one of Loki's books.

"Well… Lady Adriel was trying on dresses for the Asgardian Ball."

Loki smirked once he heard this and then began to practice one of his spells. "Mother must be enjoying this immensely. Once she heard that Adriel and I are going to the ball together she became immediately excited." Thor sighed as he swung his hammer around.

"She is quite exquisite isn't she?" He said mindlessly.

Loki slowly nodded starting to figure out what was going on. "She is… I have enjoyed our time together so far." Thor nodded as he threw his hammer into the air and caught it.

"Brother do you really think it's wise to go to this ball with her? I mean you are not the most personable being and you do have a tendency to be rather irritating at times."

Loki glared at him as sparks started to appear within his hands. "From what I have gathered brother is that she enjoys her time with me and considering that she turned you down when you asked her tells me that she prefers me over you." Thor glared at him while Loki immediately smirks at him.

"That's what this is about. It irritates you that this stunningly beautiful human prefers me over you. Well brother there are some battles you just cannot win and this is one of them."

He said smugly, as he walked out of the room. Thor scoffed and followed after him. "I wouldn't get too cocky brother she did reserve a dance for me after my request." Loki then glared at him. "It's just one dance while I will have several with her." Thor chuckled as they both walked down the hall. "Not after she is done dancing with me brother." Loki was starting to grow furious with him.

Thor had everything he ever wanted! Popularity, Fame, Charisma, Friendship, Love, the rights to the Throne! Loki only dreamed to have majority of that and knowing that he was taking the one girl who made him feel like he belonged to the ball was something he felt was a great accomplishment on his part and he'd be damned if his brother tried to take this away from him. "We shall see brother." Thor chuckled and placed his hand on his brother's shoulder.

"Yes brother we shall."
