A BIG THANKS TO TheEmoPanda, thanks for reviewing and telling me to continue! Here's a cookie *hands cookie*
After a 12 hour flight to Caltonia our hosts and hostess arrived with their secret Princess.
"WOOOAH, Caltonia is way prettier than last time," Hauuny said amazed. "Yea, way prettier than when I was here too." Chrisz said sadly. "Hey, you'll be fine," Kaoru said consolingly.
"I know it's just," she trailed off. "Mercedes was kind of nice to me. When my mom died she was just a friend of the family. She was a mom to me way before she even married my dad. Now...she gone."
"Hey, don't worry. She's probably looking down on your and saying 'I love you'" Tamaki said sweetly. Chrisz smiled and they all filed into a cab. They drove through a city called Denaville, through another called Martikov, and finally stopped in Città Reale.
"It means Royal City in Italian," Chrisz explained as she left the cab. "Chrisz question!" Haruhi exclaimed. "Shoot." "Why are the names of these cities all in different languages?" "Caltonia is an Eastern Hemispheric country. It has no exact language, but it's a small trading port where many a foreigner has settled down and brought their language here," Chrisz explained.
"So it's a multu-linguistic country," Kyoya asked. "Yes, now lets go inside before anyone sees me..." she trailed off. They came to a huge gate and Chrisz walked over to a keypad. SHe placed her hand on a touch pad, typed in a code, and had her eye scanned. "Identified Chriszatalia Genovia, welcome back princess," the computer recited.
"Open the gates, and tell Bertrum I'm back," she ordered. "Yes your Highness," it said. The rusted iron gates started to slowly open, it was agonizing to watch. The gates opened fully and the 8 of them walked inside.
The started to walk up the cobble path, on each side was some form of statue. Over a neatly groomed hedge was a white building, not just a white more like a Royal white.
The came past the hedge and the other 7 gawked. "C-chrisz, t-this is y-your house?" Tamaki stuttered. "The newer one. Mercedes had hopes of my dad and I returning so the old, almost nothing, manor was torn down and this one was built. Everything is exactly the same, from the carpets, to the rooms, even the cracks in the floor." Chrisz sighed.
"Well, lets go in shall we," she smiled. They then continued walking up the now brick path, but Chrisz started to feel uneasy and the others noticed it. "Chrisz what's wrong" Kyoya asked. "O-oh, n-nothing..." she tried to dodge the question.
"Chrisz..." The twins said ominously. "You shouldn't hide things..." "I im not hiding anything. It's just that..."
"NEE-SAN!" a shrill voice screamed. "I forgot she's here..." she face palmed. Chrisz was tackled by a girl who looked about 13 and had bright orange twin tails. "H-hadena please, you're crushing me," Chrisz choked out. "But Nee-san I missed you, Tony said you'd never come back but I KNEW YOU WOULD!"
"Um...Chrisz-chan who's this?" Hunny asked. "If she get OFF ME! Then I'll tell you," the small girl got off the raven haired girl and pulled her up. "Everyone meet my cousin Hadena Dami," she introduce. The twins started to giggle, 'Her name means flashy dummy.' 'Shut it you baka," Haruhi said ramming her foot onto theirs.
"COME ON TONY IS INSIDE WAITING!" "How did Tony know I was coming?" "You know how sketchy Tony is, you never know where that kid gets their info," Hadena said. "So Tony is a male relative?" Tamaki asked, very jealous I might add. "Um..." Chrisz looked to the girl next to her. The evil cogs in her brain started to turn.
"Yea, but he's distant." Chrisz smirked. "He's a 4th cousin, and is the betrothed of Chrisz's," Hadena said evilly. "YOU'RE BETROTHED!" the 3 stooges screamed. "Oops, I forgot about that," she giggled.
"Strange, your bio didn't say that," Kyoya said looking up from his notebook. "Most things about me are a secret,' Chrisz winked before turning around. "TONY!" Chrisz screamed. Then a tallish person came running out and Chrisz ran to them. The 8 other saw all this as slow mo, very cute.
"TO~NY!" "CHRI~SSY" they both screamed. A heartfelt hug came between them and Chrisz whispered something in Tony's ear. "HI baby," he said kissing Chrisz's cheek.
They stooges turned red, and so did Kyoya just a little. "Guys meet Tony," Chrisz grinned cheekily. "So, you're Chrisz-chan's fiance," Hunny asked. He pulled at his collar, "Well yea, but we've kept in touch a bit. You know with Skype, but we didn't tell the world about her," he explained.
"Hmm," Mori murmured, he knew something was up. There's no fooling this gentle giant. "Ok, lets go inside I have to see Betrum," Chrisz said picking up her bags. Tony led her inside and 3 sulking idiots followed with their bags. Kyoya, Haruhi, Mori, and Hunny picked up their bags and followed the sulking babies.
Chrisz's house was massive, inside as soon as you walked in there was 2 sets of stairs leading upstairs on the far side of the foyer. Between them was a balcony, and the floor was made of marble. (Think like the Beverly Hillbillies Mansion)
"WOW CHRISZ-CHAN YOUR HOUSE IS HUGE!" Hunny said amazed. "Thanks, but I haven't lived here in years so it's technically not my home. But I am to inherit it sooo," she said. "Chrisz, will your friends be staying?" Hadena asked. "Yes actually, um wheres Bertrum," she said looking around. "BERTRUM!" she called. Then a younger looking man with white hair and red eyes came walking down the step.
"Princess, You've returned home," he gave a soft smiled. Chrisz ran toward him and wrapped arms around his waist.
"I am home..."
