Chapter 25: On the News
"Mother, I'm so annoyed by that little sunny girl! How can we get rid of her or something?" the princess of Solaria asked. She was truly annoyed by this sunny girl.
"So do I, she's getting too attached to the kingdom." The queen of Solaria agrees.
"Who is she and what does she think she is? She thinks she's the fairy of the moon! I'm the fairy of the moon and no one controls the moon besides me!" she whines.
"Do you really want me to tell you?" the queen asked. Her daughter looked at her mother in her eyes. She nods, and the mother sighs. It was a sigh of regret. "Well…she is no ordinary girl…"
Stella and Sunny changed their outfits so they would give respect to people who had tons of royalty and respect in them. Brandon was with him because he was the third guess. Sunny wore a skinny gray ball gown. Stella's dress is strapless and has a light yellow and pink bodice, and a floor-length orange skirt. She also has an orange sash tied with a pink flower around her waist, with lots of loose fabric hanging down. In addition, she wears an orange headband. Many soldiers noticed this, and some whistled at Stella and Sunny. One passed by them, and he stared at Stella's derrière. Brandon saw this, and he went up to the soldier who looked at it.
"What did you just stare at? You don't have a right to look at it!" Brandon shouted. The soldier chuckled at him. He wasn't just alone; two other muscular guards were with him.
"I stared at your woman's prized possession," he says. "Why? Is it because you want to be the only one to stare at it?" Brandon lifted up his fist in front of the soldier's face. He was about to take out a knife, but then a queen appeared.
"Excuse me, what's happening?" she asked. Everyone turned around to see who it was. It was the queen of Solaria. "Young man, from the parade, aren't you supposed to be with your prince or whatever?"
"Your majesty," all of the three soldiers said, pushing Brandon away and knelling to her.
"I'm sorry, Queen Countess Cassandra, this man just came here and decided to do something he shouldn't have done," the leader said, the one who almost fought with Brandon.
"It's his fault! He decided to do something he wasn't supposed to do—and look where we are now! Immature guards, I bet you could get better ones!" Brandon says. He then grabbed Stella's hand. "Come on Stella, we have to do what we are supposed to do here."
He then leaves with Stella, leaving Sunny behind.
"Hey! What about me? Don't leave me here!" Sunny complains. But it was too late—Brandon and Stella had already entered the palace. "Hey!"
Brandon and Stella reached the Solarian palace. It was beautiful. There were many pictures and carpets. Everything here was beautiful. Stella then began to walk around this amazing place with her beloved. Suddenly, someone came.
"Excuse me, but what are you two doing here?" a voice says. Brandon and Stella turn around and saw an old man who is a servant. "Shouldn't you have your own tourists with you? Or where is your selected room?"
Brandon and Stella looked at each other. "We were invited here by the King of Solaria." Stella says. "To have a tea party, if that's the phrase you're looking for."
"Tea party?" he asks, out of topic. "It doesn't start until midnight. The both of you still have two more minutes to reach that place. Anyways, I think the servants are still organizing everything. But the guests' room is not that far away. I think the Kings and Queens are there. Let me direct you to that place."
The servant than began to where the nearby rooms are. There was a salon, entertainment, music, and a bakery room. Stella wished to live here, with Brandon. But she knew that wouldn't happen since she was so poor. As they walked, Stella saw a picture of a woman with blonde hair. She looked very mysterious.
Stella. A voice says. You are coming close to your destination. Do not be afraid, this is not scary. Trust me; you'll be safe and sound.
Who are you? Stella asked. And why do you always want to speak into my mind? Are you Amore? Or are you Ms. Faragonda? I'm not some kind of doll that could be played around.
The voice giggled. You'll find out soon, since you are close to your destination. Remember this; always look at the candles in the sky. The voice disappears. Stella became curious and confused, but Brandon was there to help her with her problem.
"Stella, Snookcums, is there anything wrong?" Brandon asked. Stella quickly shook her head and looked up at Brandon.
"Nothing is wrong. Anyways, are we there yet?" Stella asked, trying to change the topic. The servant nodded and there was a golden door with a shiny golden knob.
"This is it," he says, staring at it. "You will be seeing all Kings and Queens who decided to show up the parade. And what is your name, aren't you a darling couple?"
"I'm Brandon and this is my love, Stella." Brandon says, with all his loyalty he had.
"Stella?" he says. "You're one of the—"
Before he could continue, the door flings opened. It was that Princess from Andros or something. Stella waved hello to her, and she just winked. She then went to another direction, while the servant went to clean himself.
"I'm going to help the Princess of Andros. If you need any help, there should be a nearby servant that could help you. Anyways, good luck Stella and Brandon!" Within that, he left. Stella and Brandon entered the place, and it was beautiful.
The door leads them to a garden or the backyard of the palace. There were high oak trees with yellow and white lights in it. Right in front of them, was a stage of music to appear. There were tables for drinking the tea. On the floor were paintings of the Solarian history.
"This is what you called a guess room? This is more than a tea room!" Stella says. She was really surprised by this view. Brandon laughed and took her hand.
"Let's go find that King of Solaria." Brandon says. Stella quickly nods and they search around the guess room to find the King of Solaria. After a while, they finally founded him.
On the other hand, there were soldiers who were paid to seek for revenge. They were dressed in black and their faces were covered by masks. They saw Brandon and Stella who were sitting at a table with the King of Solaria, and the King and Queen of Domino. There was a huge light that had burning candles that lit up the table.
"So, mind if you talk more about yourself?" the King of Solaria asked. Stella looked at Brandon. "Ladies first, miss."
"I'm just an average peasant. I have an older sister, who takes care of me, and we are in charge of the best bakery, but it's under construction." Stella says.
"I'm just an average blacksmith," Brandon mocks Stella. "I used to have parents—but now they're someone else."
"What happened to your parents, sir?" the queen of Domino asked.
"They had a different son, and I'm not their son." Brandon simply says. He sips his tea.
A conversation appeared, and Stella didn't mind listening. She just looked up at the sky. The sky was black with millions of stars. Stella was proud of herself because she could control all of those. She didn't feel like to, not right now. She then saw two men on the light, and they had a pocket knife. They began to cut the rope holding the light, and it would kill King Radius, since he was sitting on the target. Stella knew what they were doing. They were going to kill King Radius for money. Stella wasn't going to let that happen. As the light began to fall, Stella quickly told everyone to get off. They quickly went off, so as Brandon, but not Stella and King Radius.
"Stella, get out of there or else you are going to be killed!" Brandon shouted. Stella was about to get off, but King Radius was poorly there not doing anything. The lights were going to kill the both of them in a short matter. "Stella!"
Stella quickly pushed King Radius out of the way, and the lights went on Stella. Brandon's eyes quickly widened. King Radius was on the floor, reviving himself. He quickly looked up and saw two men who started it.
"You," King Radius shouted. "Guards, get those murders, now!" Guards quickly came, and took care of the mess. Brandon quickly went to Stella, and pushed the lights off away. They were burning Stella's skin, but Brandon blew them away. Brandon began to cry—he could lose Stella. He could.
"Stella…please doesn't go…"
Lights appeared in Stella's body, and her body was raised up in the air. Stella wore an outfit with an orange tank top with blue midriff straps and an orange and pink mini skirt. Her gloves are translucent pink that go to her upper arm. Her wings are large and butterfly-shaped, orange in color with an undertone of shades of blue, yellow, and pink. Small gems dangle off the ends. Her pigtails are now styled higher upon her head; her hair grows in length and earns a few bleach-blond highlights. She has also discarded her orange colored boots and dons strappy barefoot sandals connected by a sideways crescent button. She wears a turquoise colored tiara upon her head.
Lights then disappeared, and gasps filled the room.
"Enchantix!"
