Astra walked down the halls of her home with Sky following behind her. She sighed as she thought about what would happen in the future. Well what would have happened.
Everything had changed now that she was no longer Bloom or Keeper of the Dragon Flame. Her planet wasn't destroyed either. She wasn't raised on Earth by Mike and Vanessa but by her parents on Domino. She was no longer the second born daughter of her parents but their third. She now had two older sisters and one happened to be her twin.
Astra then heard her sisters' giggles and turned towards them. She saw them chasing each other in the garden built for Daphne's tenth birthday.
"It looks as if they have forgotten about me," Astra said with a small smile. "Follow me," Astra told the blonde boy behind her.
"Daph! Ai! Papa's friend brought along his son and Papa wants us to play with him," Astra told her sisters as they neared the girls. The two girls stopped running and rushed to their sister.
"Ra!" The two older girls giggled as they hugged Astra close. When they pulled away Astra said, "This is Prince Sky of Eraklyon. Prince Sky, these are my sisters, Crown Princess Daphne and Second Princess Aithne."
The three greeted each other and Aithne said, "We should go into the city!" Daphne agreed while telling Sky all about the fun shops within the capital city.
Daphne asked their nanny and she agreed to take them out into the city. Astra smiled as her sisters gushed to Sky about all the fun places.
Astra was wary of Sky after everything that happened but she would change the future as she never wished to relive it again. She would watch the blonde boy and befriend him but never again would she fall in love with him.
She would love another who she had loved at the very beginning of her journey as a fairy after meeting Stella. She was pulled from her thoughts by the Cosmic Star.
My star, your heart had already put up walls against this boy. He lost your eternal love in your first life. Even if you did wish to love him again your heart would not allow it.
She knew that but hearing it from someone else made it all the more real.
Child, you went through a lot because of this small prince. He betrayed you and after such a betrayal you could never again love him the same.
Astra smiled as she felt warmth surrounding her heart.
Soon the carriage stopped and the four were let out. Their nanny smiled as she told them the rules before they began their trip. Astra giggled with Aithne as they held hands as they walked. Sky and Daphne were talking happily in front of the twins with their nanny behind.
They went to all different shops and ate candy and sweets. They laughed and enjoyed their time within the capital city of Domino.
"Astra, what is your favorite flower?" Sky asked after they passed a florist.
Astra thought for a moment before saying, "Gladiolus are my favorite. What about yours?" Sky smiled and said, "I love poppies! My mother has several gardens full of flowers but my favorite are poppies."
Daphne and Aithne heard them talking about flowers and soon joined in. "I love orchids. They have an elegance and I love them," Daphne said as she smiled happily.
"I really like pansies! They are super pretty and they remind me of Astra," Aithne said as she ate some candy. "How do they remind you of Ra?" Daphne asked. "I don't know why but when I look at them I think of Ra," Aithne said with a happy smile on her face. Astra giggled along with Sky at Daphne's confused face.
Soon their day in town came to an end and they had to return to the palace. When they arrived their parents were waiting for them which meant Sky had to leave.
"Hello children! Did you have fun out in the city?" Oritel asked with a smile as his daughters hugged. "Yeah! We went to all different types of shops and even looked at flowers!" Aithne exclaimed happily as Sky began to tell his father about their day.
The three adults laughed at their children and soon it was time to say goodbye. "Bye Sky! Come again soon so we can play," Aithne said as she gave Sky a big hug. Daphne smiled and waved as she said, "Bye-bye Sky! I hope we can see each other again soon!" Sky waved back and smiled as Astra said, "Goodbye Sky."
Sky and his father then entered their carriage to return home through the portal that connected all the worlds together. Astra followed her family inside the palace as her sisters continued to talk about their day with huge smiles.
Today was a good day, star, and you got to see an old friend.
Astra smiled softly as she knew it was only a matter of time until she met her friends again after so long.
Worry not, star, as you are all bound by fate.
