Chapter 9: Fire and Ice
Castle Town, Capital of Terra
Rebuilt Castle of the Four Rulers
Flora stopped and motioned to the room for Bloom, Daphne, Ariel, and Harmony , "This is where was having Soren's party."
"Wow. The ball room is amazing," Bloom commented as Daphne nodded.
"I can't wait for this ball," Ariel added excitedly, "This is the first time in a long time there's been a ball."
Flora nodded and added, "Oh, we can just have a nice quiet-"
The wall in front of them shattered as Haruto was knocked thru it.
"HARUTO!"
The Fire Prince jumped up as water shot thru the hole knocking him against another wall.
The women blinked as a familiar woman walked thru the hole, "Dylan?"
Dylan ignored them as she summoned icy shards around her, "Break it off." She tossed them at Haruto angrily as he jumped up again summoning a fire shield blocking the ice.
"You've lost it! I'm not canceling on her just cause you've tricked yourself into thinking you two are in love!" Haruto shot back as he jumped and launched a lightning attack at Dylan. But Dylan rolled out of the way blasting a frost wave at her brother.
Haruto created another fire shield as he summoned his black katana like sword, "That's it! You've seriously lost it!"
The Water Princess summoned her water bladed cutlass, "Or maybe I'm just tired of your shit!" The siblings slammed their blades together as steam erupted from the flaming black blade and icy water blade.
Confused Flora turned to Daphne and Bloom as they had already transformed and waiting on Flora. Flora summoned two vines and had them grabbed her fighting children and yanked them away from each other and into the waiting Bloom and Daphne's arm so they could restrain them.
"What?!"
"Come on!"
"Silence!" Flora yelled causing Dylan and Haruto to shut up, "What's going on?! You've haven't fought like that since you were little!"
Dylan remained quiet as Haruto replied, "Dylan is angry that I've decided to escort Miki Blackfire to Soren's ball. She convinced she and Miki like each other."
The Sea Princess growled at Haruto as Flora sighed, "Haruto, you should have run this by me first."
"What?" Haruto commented confused before realizing, "You….knew? You knew Dylan was gay? And you knew she liked Miki Blackfire?"
"Yes," Flora calmly replied as she motioned for Bloom and Daphne to let Haruto and Dylan go, "Everyone but you kinda knew."
"Damn, I would have placed my money on Soren being gay rather than Dylan," Ariel commented but earned a glare from Harmony instead, "Shutting up."
"Which is why she's very angry about you escorting her," a voice commented as Soren came in followed by Rikku, Eren, and Serle, "Though if she had just gone ahead and told her that she was Princess Kairi, this wouldn't have been as big a deal."
"I was going to till my dear brother contacted her parents and telling them that she was now courting him," Dylan muttered angrily.
"Blame it on me, huh," Haruto complained, "Like it matters. The Blackfire family will refuse to allow their daughter be "defiled" by "Water Nation filth"."
"They will if they care as much about power as I think," Flora replied to her son coldly, "Your father will not be able to attend so Haruto will escort me and will inform the Miss Miki that we'll assign her a new escort." Flora looks to at Dylan, "Tell her at the ball. Or I'm done with this, Dylan."
"Yes, Ma'am," Dylan and Haruto replied together as Haruto then left in a huff.
Dylan then glances at her sisters and the boys, "How did you even know I was here?"
"Well, let's say Brooks is a great general," Soren joked.

5 days later
Princess Ventus's Ball
Miki was nervous. Her mother had been on her for the last three days that she had to be on her best behavior. Especially since Prince Haruto's unexpected tie up. She was now going to have to impress one of Prince Haruto's most trusted men. Vesta, Miki's mother, was convinced it had to be one of his Generals.
The seventeen year old girl couldn't care less. All she could think of now was Dylan. She couldn't believe how much she actually missed her. It wasn't even that big of things she messed it was all Dylan's little things she missed. Miki had tried to write her letters but every time she tried there would be a reply: 'Dylan Rainfell doesn't exist'. Which made no sense!
Miki straightened her dress as she stood by her parents waiting to be announced and for her escort to show up.
She had already watched Prince Haruto and his mother, Queen Flora, enter the ball room, after a quick apologize to her first. She was shocked to see a bright purple bruise on his face. She wondered what happened?
She had also seen Princess Rikku enter with Captain Serle Highwind and Princess Ventus and her escort, Eren. She was getting anxious as she saw watched the generals of every nation walking up.
The High Generals: Zoar Highwind, Rowan Stonebreaker, Aqua Light, and Ash Sundown, walked by each pairing up as they entered the ball room.
The Earth Generals: Gemma Rose, Malai Jade, Mason Valley, and Forrest Greenstone walked by with the Air Nation Generals: Ceil Mooncloud, Wayra Bluewind, Lyra Clearsky, and Chase Cloudkicker as they entered.
Miki gulped as the Fire Nation Generals got closer and closer till they walked right past them. Generals Ziv Brightmore, Lucius Flametongue, Barak Lightheat ignored them, heck even General Sade Flare, the only woman, didn't acknowledge them.
Vesta stared at the Generals confused as were Miki and Niko.
"Miki!"
Miki turned as she saw General Brooks Stormchaser along with the other three Water Generals: Morgan Winters, Raine Snowshower, and Jules Riversong, "General Stormchaser?"
General Snowshower giggled at her, "So this is Miki?" Miki stared confused as General Riversong elbowed General Snowshower, "Hush!"
General Winters sighed and pushed General Riversong and General Snowshower towards the herald as General Stormchaser looked at Miki and explained, "Your escort will be here any minute." General Stormchaser then joined General Winters who was waiting on her.
Miki watched the Water Generals walked down the stairs that she didn't notice the person behind her till she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"Princess Kairi!"
The Fire Nation Heir swerved and indeed the Water Nation Princess was standing behind her smiling at her. Miki quickly joined her parents in their bow.
"Now," Princess Kairi giggled, "Don't bow. That would be awkward considering you're my date."
Alex: Review and thanks.
