A/N~_~ I'm trying to keep consistent, Sunday will be Update Day unless I'm running late or decide to give you a gift, i.e give an extra update on Monday to apologize, like this one :) To the story!
Once I was changed into my pajamas Loki came in. "Would you like to go out tonight?" He asked. "Fancy or casual?" I asked. "Fancy, I made plans." He replied. "Get out," I shooed him and he obediently stepped out of the room. "JARVIS can you get Pepper and Natasha up here? And send Loki to his floor please. Thanks." A minuet latter the two women were in my room, each putting down an armful of fancy dresses. "These are all we have in your size." Natasha said. I had fancy gowns, having grown up in Asgard, but Loki's seen all of those. I wanted something nice and new for our date, since we haven't gone out for so long. "Thank you guys so much!" I said. They were all beautiful, but I could only choose one. I dug through slowly narrowing options down and after five minuets I had three dresses left on the bed. One was a short dress, the others were long. I frowned and took away the short one, deciding I wanted floor length. One was a beautiful black dress that had designs in black gems on the top, which was tight fitting and the skirt flowed outward from it. The other was a more extravagant. It wasnt over board, but way different from the relatively plain dress next to it. It was made with different shades of blue, making it look almost like the ocean. There were swirls of pearls and diamonds across it. I choose that dress. Within ten minuets Natasha and Pepper had my hair and make-up finished an I was meeting Loki outside of the tower. We took one of Tony's limos to (think of the most formal ever and multiply that by ten thousand for this place, ok?) Sheka Teka. (It's fake, I couldn't choose a real restaurant so I made one up) This was New York's newest and most formal restaurant. Which had been built by none other than our good friend Tony Stark. "This is so nice." I sighed as we stepped into the sparkling lobby. We spent at least four hours touring the building and it's rooftop garden and eating. It was probably the most relaxing and gorgeous place I've ever been to. We were siting on one of the benches in the garden when Loki dropped a small box. He got down onto one knee and picked it up before facing me, still on one knee. "You're not proposing, I'm not even of age in Asgardian standards." I shook my head. "I'm not calling this a wedding proposal. As long as you wear this ring and I wear mine we are devoted to each other. Will you accept that?" He opened the box showing two rings. One was a plain silver band and the other was a silver band with a small emerald in the center. "Fine." I smiled as he slid the one with an emerald on my finger and I picked up the plain one and slid it on his finger. "You know if you're the prince we have to follow Asgardian custom, and that means I need a blessing." I said. He knew I meant we had to go to Asgard to his parent's blessing, since they had technically raised me. "I was thinking the Bartons would be more than happy to-" "Nat and Clint aren't my guardians. You know who raised me is who gives the blessing." He really didn't want to go to Asgard. "There's no need-" "If you don't suck it up I will take off this ring. Plus you're the future king, I think they have a right to see your chosen queen." He sighed, and I knew I won. "Heimdall." He shouted and the light surround us before we stumbled into the Bifrost. "I didn't mean right now." I smacked his arm. "My prince, my lady. Congratulations." Heimdall greeted. "Thank you. Have you alerted my parents?" Loki replied politely. "That you are here. You need to ask for the blessing yourself." Heimdall replied. "Your horse is outside." I nodded and dragged Loki to the horse. I sat behind him with my arms around his waist as we went full speed down the bridge.
"Father, Mother," Loki gave a smal bow. I nodded to them, but didn't feel like curtsying. "Loki, Heimdall says you have news." Frigga said. She was standing by Odin, who was seated in his throne. "Adara and I would like to ask for your blessing." "Now Adara isn't of age-" "We know, my lord. It's a promise ring, really. But it's technically an engagement as well." Frigga and Odin talked to each other for a minuet while Loki grasped my hand anxiously. "We bless the marriage," Frigga said. "Thank you so much!" Loki smiled. "On the condition that we can have a ball in two days in celebration." She continued. "If it's what it takes." I said before Loki could say anything. "Good day." And I dragged Loki out of the throne room to get to our neighboring quarters. "I don't want it to be a big deal." Loki sighed. "If we want the blessing. Can we go to the town tonight?" I asked. "Meet me in the gardens at five." He replied and walked into his room. I went to the training courtyard where I knew I'd find Sif and The Warriors Three. "Adara!" Sif called across the yard. "Any extra swords, Sif?" I replied as I strode across the yard. "For you I have hundreds." She tossed me the one she was using and grabbed another. I caught the sword and twirled it. "This weighted?" I asked. "Nope. You must be out of shape." She said as she swung her new sword at me. I easily blocked it and we went at it for a good hour before the Three strode up to us. "Who's wining?" Fandral asked. "Me, obviously." We both replied before we put the swords down as a sign of peace. "Just as usual." Vostag said. Hogun shook his head at us but sat down anyways. "What's the time?" I asked. "Four forty-five." A guard passing replied. "Oh I have to go!" I jumped up and rushed to my room to get ready for our date. I was wearing a simple dress and left my hair down, so it took seconds for me to be done. I walked down to the gardens and went through the mazes of hedges and flower bushes to the center, where Loki and I had always met for lessons when I was little. Just as I was about to turn the corner I heard a women's voice I had never heard from anyone before. "So you think you could come now?" She asked and a familiar voice answered her. "Not tonight. I am otherwise engaged tonight, perhaps tomorrow?" Loki offered. "That would work fabulously. Don't tell anyone, okay?" She said. I peeked around the corner to look at her. She was really pretty, and I hated her for it. "You don't have to tell me. Same goes to you." Loki replied. She took his hand in her own for a moment before walking the other way. I took a step back and drew a deep breath. I would not be one if those girls who assumed my boyfriend was cheating. She could be a family friend, or a woman he was just being polite to. I'm calm, and I didn't see or hear anything. Unless I get definitive proof. I steeled myself and stepped out. "Ready to go?" I asked. "Of course," being a proper gentleman Loki stuck out his arm for me to hold and we walked down the path to the town bellow the palace. I lived going to the town, especially before the sun set. It was lively, and since Loki's been around more often, and more polite to the commoners, people were far more friendly towards us. The best part were the children were no longer scared to walk up to Loki and I, and he is amazing with the boys and girls. They adore him now. "Prince Loki!" Two little girls ran over, followed by a boy my age. "Hello young ones, how are you today?" Loki knelt beside the girls and I watched as they laughed an chatted before one of the girls pulled on my leg. I leaned next to her and she stared at me for a moment. "Are you a princess?" She asked. "Of course she is. And she's not just any princess, she is my princess." Loki smiled an pulled me close to him. The boy glanced away before refocusing on the girls. "I'm sure his highness has things to tend to, and it's time for super." He said to the girls. "Bye prince Loki, bye Princess!" They said before running after the boy, whom I assumed was their brother. "They love you, it's so cute!" I said and he laughed. "Children are so pure, they don't know what it is to hate someone. I like to preserve that, for once you hate someone it changes you." Loki looked after the girls again before focusing. "Do you want to go to the fountain?" "Yes please." And we walked through the darkening streets. No more children approached us but some did wave to Loki as we passed. After two minuets of walking we reached the fountain where some kids were playing tag. Their parents sat in front of one of the village houses. The kids didn't even notice us come and sit down, but the parents nodded towards us. "Are you feeling alright?" Loki asked. "Hm?" I hadn't been paying attention really. I couldn't help thinking of that girl. "You've been awfully quiet tonight." "Yeah. I was just thinking." I said turning to look at the water spouting from the top of the fountain. "About what?" He persisted. "I saw you talking to that girl. In the garden. What does she want you to do for her?" I answered. "Oh, Laurel? Her father is ill, and she wanted me to heal him. I know some old enchantments for healing." He said. I sighed of relief, I knew Loki. He was faithful and loving, I shouldn't have worried. "Prince Loki, can you tell one of your stories?" One of the little girls playing came over. "Well I believe I've told you all of my stories that I know. But Adara, knows some Midgardian tales." "Stories from Midgard, really?" A little boy asked. "Well I've been living there for a while, I do know a few." I said. The little ones had all gathered to sit at our feet and were looking at me with interest. "What about the one with the girl loosing her slipper?" Loki suggested. "Cinderella? Okay, well, once upon a time..." By the end of the story the children were almost asleep. I had a little girl in my lap, who had already fallen asleep. The parents came over to take the kids home. The mother picked the girl out of my arms and thanked us for talking to them. Once all the children left Loki wrapped his arms around me. "You're very good with the children. You'll be a wonderful queen." He whispered and I planted a kiss on his cheek. "Let's go home." He said and I nodded. I was very tiered, sleep sounded good. I think I fell asleep before we even stood up, but I woke up in bed. I was still wearing the dress from the night before, which didn't surprise me. I knew Loki valued my person. "Good morning. Today we're going to the woods, is that alright?" I yanked and nodded. I wasn't going to bother dirtying more clothes, I just kept the same dress on. Not like it was fancy or anything. Outside we met with two servants who were waiting with the horses. "My lord, my lady." They bowed slightly. "Thank you." I smiled at them. They handed off the reins and walked back to the stables while we mounted the horses. "Follow me." Loki said spurring the horse. My horse galloped right after his without a command and I realized it was trained to follow the horse Loki was on. "Loki, I know how to ride!" I called over the wind. "Yes, but you always ride ahead. This way you can only go next to me." I frowned at his smirking face but didn't complain anymore. Soon we were at a nice clearing in the woods, but some women were there already. "Hello!" One girl called. The others had run off when we came into the clearing but she excitedly ran up. "You're the prince and princess!" She said. "I'm Alex, I'm a mage." "Hello. Sorry to interrupt, we wanted to have a picnic." I greeted. "No please enjoy, we love people using our clearing. We just don't like interacting with others. Goodbye." The mage waved and ran off. "I never really see them around. I knew this was their clearing." Loki said. We shrugged and enjoyed a nice meal together.
When we came back it was already four thirty. "Goodnight love." He said and went into his room. I walked into my room and sat on the bed. On the bedside table was Loki's favorite dagger. "He'll want this back." I muttered to myself. I went to his room. As usual I just walked in, he said I never had to knock. But this time there was someone else in the room. "Loki, what the hell are you doing?" I yelled. Laurel was sitting on top of Loki on the bed, and his shirt was torn open, along with her dress. "Adara!" He shoved Laurel off of him. Laurel covered herself with his sheets. angrily yanked the ring off. "Adara it's not-" "Not you cheating on me?" He was trying to adjust his torn shirt to cover himself and was failing. I threw the ring at him. "Take this back. Maybe she can get more use out of it. Oh an here's your dagger." I threw the knife at him and he ducked so it missed his head. "Adara, please!" He called but I slammed the door in his face. And I kept on walking to the Bifrost. "Send me home." I told Heimdall. "My lady, you should give the prince a chance to explain." "I'll deny your advice today. Goodbye." And I was sent to the desert of New Mexico.
