Angel: "And now we have a new ship, Asraishipping! The shipping name for Celina and Saya Sasayama! I won't lie. This AU is rip almost exactly out of Star vs. The Forces of Evil. If you don't know what I'm talking about, don't worry about it. It's just a cartoon show. And for those of you who do know what I'm talking about...I'm sorry for your loss."
Ship Name: Asraishipping (Celina x Saya Sasayama)
Name Reason: Named so because an asrai is a type of fae that only appears at night to swim in moonlight and cannot live in sunlight, related to Saya's fairy deck and Celina's Lunalight deck / moonlight theme.
The Blood Moon Ball
"Celina, are you sure you have to go?" Saya whispers worriedly, tapping her fingers together. "The Underworld is a pretty dangerous place."
"Oh don't worry so much, Saya. Celina will be with us the entire night." Lulu smiled at her friend kindly as she continued to run a brush through her sister's indigo color hair.
"And also the Dragon Knights will be with us." Zuzu added. "We couldn't be any safer."
"Yuri may act indifferent, but he cares for Celina just as much as all of us. He wouldn't let anything happen to her and vice verse for his brothers." Rin insisted, trying on a new pair of boots.
"Of course, you're also welcome to join us, Saya. The Blood Moon Ball is open to all." Lulu suggests. Saya immediately shakes her head.
"N-no thanks, Lulu. It's just-"
"It's fine, Saya." Celina interrupts. "Honestly, I would rather sit at home but I do owe it to Lulu since she got me out of that arranged marriage with Declan."
"Indeed." Lulu giggled. "But I'm only doing this for your own good, you know. You haven't been out in six months. And no, going to the Heart Cafe with Saya does not count. That place is literally a second home to you guys." Lulu sighs as Celina opens her mouth to object.
"Regardless, it's alright, Saya. I'm not gonna drag you to something you don't want to do." Once Lulu is done with her hair, Celina stands up, fidgeting with her silk dress. "Let's get this over with."
"So what do you think of the ball so far?" Lulu asked. Celina took a sip of the tasteless punch in her cup and shook her head.
"Completely dull and a waste of my night." Celina replied. Lulu rolled her eyes.
"Well, it's not like you're trying to have fun. I mean, just look at Zuzu and Rin." Lulu pointed towards the dance floor. Among the dancing couples were Rin and Shay. Rin looked completely at home in Shay's arms. On the other side of the room were Zuzu and Gong. The only thing, in Celina's opinion, that was slightly amusing this entire night was watching her little sister leading the much larger man in a graceful dance. "I thought dancing was your bread and butter."
"It is, but not tonight." Celina mutters. From the corner of her eyes she could see Sylvio sulking in the corner with his buddies. He had been trying all night to get Celina to dance with him, but she shot him down each and every time.
"Oh, so you do believe in the Curse of the Blood Moon." Lulu noted. Celina tilted her head up towards the sky light. From the glass she could see the red crescent moon staring down at them ominously.
"It would be foolish not too. If you are caught underneath the glow of the Blood Moon, your soul is intertwine with your partner's for the rest of time. I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to make that kind of commitment."
"But the curse only happens once every 667 years. The chances of it happening on this particular night are pretty slim." Celina shakes her head.
"Not gonna chance it. Sorry. No." Lulu sighs just as Kite Tenjo approaches.
"Good evening, ladies."
"Oh, hello Kite. Good evening to you too. Are you enjoying the ball?" Lulu asked.
"It's nothing like what we have back home, but it will do. Would either of you like to dance?" Kite asked, holding out his hand. Even though Kite was talking to both of them Celina knew he was only referring to Lulu.
"Go for it, Romeo." Celina said, gesturing at her sister.
"Sorry about that. My sister can be a bit picky with her dance partners. But I would be more than happy to dance with you, Kite." Lulu placed her hand in Kite's.
"Much appreciated, Lulu." Kite smiled softly as he led her to the dance floor. After watching everyone dance for a bit longer Celina sighed and sets down her cup. It was about time she headed home. She stayed out for a few hours like Lulu wanted, but now she has had enough of this place and was looking forward to sleeping this night off.
Celina spotted Yuri and the other Dragon Knights on the other side of the ballroom, chatting with a few of their friends. Even though they looked to be caught up in their conversations, everyone knew that the knights always kept an eye on their princesses. No matter the situation or occasion. Celina began to make her way towards them when suddenly, someone grabbed her hand.
"Celina! There you are!" Celina turned around to face the one who had grabbed her.
"Saya?" Almost in the exact same moment, the dim lights of the ballroom suddenly flicker off. Celina stared up as the moon bathe them in a red glow. Unable to control her body, Celina reached with her other hand and grabbed Saya's. Before either of them could react, they began dancing.
The other couples moved away from the dancing floor, watching in wonder and awe as Celina and Saya twirled around the ballroom, each step precise and perfect, almost as if the two of them had been training for this very moment. A few began to whisper about the curse. Celina blinks, realizing what was happening.
"S-Saya? Saya, what are you doing here?"
"I-I decided to take up L-Lulu's invitation." Saya answer as Celina lets go of her left hand for a moment so that she could perform an underarm turn. "I-I thought you could use the company since large gatherings isn't really your cup of tea." Celina then notice the dress Saya was in, It was a plain pastel purple ball gown but it suited her quite nicely.
Her green and orange hair clips had been removed, allowing her lilac hair to frame her face, but she kept her glasses. Her gloves were also gone, allowing Celina to run her thumb over the soft skin.
"You look nice."
"T-Thanks! Grace really helped me out with my outfit and stuff." Saya smiled.
"I'm glad you're here." Celina whispers after a bit.
"O-Oh, really?" Saya lets out a sigh of relief. "That's good. I-I thought I would have been a bother to you and the others if I had shown up." Celina's lips twitch up into a smile as she brings Saya closer to her.
"You could never be a bother, Saya. Never." After what felt like an eternity of dancing, the blood moon's light finally began to fade and the lights of the ballroom came back on. The applause from the other guests brought Saya and Celina back to reality. Saya blinked at her friend a few times, not quite sure what had just happen.
"W-what did we just...do?" Saya asked as she took her hands back from Celina's.
"Oh...uhh...nothing much. It's just that our souls have now formed an unbreakable bond for the rest of time." Saya's eyes widen.
"OUR SOULS HAVE WHAT?!"
Fable: "Oh wow. Celina isn't gonna like this..."
Celina: "What?"
Fable: "You're on next."
Celina: "Again?!"
Fable: "...Sorry."
Celina: "Well, this has to be the last one for a while, right?"
(Fable looks down at the list and begins sweating nervously.)
Celina: "...Fable?"
(Fable starts sweating more.)
Celina: "Fable!"
Fable: "I'm sorry!"
(Fable runs off.)
Angel: "Wow. Fable really likes to run when she's nervous."
