Queen Rei walked up finally to the main stage, where there were lavish chairs where the Royal family would sit. She smiled to see the familiar faces there. She bowed kindly to Serenity, Edymoin, and Adime. She said kindly.br
Adime looked at her and smiled, bowing back. Good evening, Queen Mars.. You look positively radiant I must say. br
Serenity giggled a little, seeing a small blush go across her good friend's cheek. But she continued on with the greetings. Walking up she hugged Rei. It is good to see you again. I'm positive this week of celebrations will be the best of them all. she spoke eagerly. br
Edymoin nodded as he smiled at Rei. He had always acted like a big brother to her, ever since this all began. Yes, I'm positive that it will be. he said, smiling to her. br
Rei smiled back at him and then looked at Serenity. I hope so. It took so long for me to decide who Leena should be betrothed to.br
I'm positive that Kyo is a perfect choice for her Serenity smiled, hope in her eyes.br
Rei nodded, then felt a tug on her dress. She turned around noticed Leena there. why hello there, my dear! she said smiling. and nodding to Chibi-Usa who was behind the girl. br
Leena asked, then she noticed Serenity and King Edymoin. She bowed respectfully and smiled. Your Highness's! The she turned back to her mother, Chibi-Usa giggling a little. When are we going to start the dance? she asked eagerly.br
Yes, Queen Mars! Chibi-Usa chimed in.br
Queen Rei smiled at the girls. Why I was going to start it in just a little bit. He smile widened. I bet you two want to know who you're dancing with, ne?br
The two girls shook their heads in unison, saying yes, please! they both smiled brightly, showing off their perfect teeth. br
Serenity put a hand over her mouth as she laughed and shook her head. Rei shook her head as well. Well.. I believe.. that when the dancing begins. Lots of boys will want to come and dance with you all. So don't worry. she said smiling. Then, Rei nodded her hear to the orchestra man, as he began to play enchanting melodies. As if under a spell, the crowd began to clap, and start to dance with their partners. br
br
Kyo looked up and to the side as he watched the group begin to dance. He smiled as he looked up and saw both Leena and Chibi-Usa talking to Queen Rei. Kyo felt his small heart rise and fall a little seeing Leena. Quickly, he began to walk towards them, dodging the many nobles dancing about. But suddenly.. BAM!.. He ran into someone's back. I'm greatly sorry, I was just trying to get to the Princess.br
he asked him. So was I. Ash turned around and helped Kyo up.br
Kyo took Ash's hand, not knowing who he was. Say..aren't you.. he looked at his clothes as he tried to hide the fact he was wiping his hand on his pants. You're the Prince of Phobos. Right? he asked.br
Ash bowed and nodded his head. yes, I am the Prince of Phobos.br
Kyo's gentle manor turned stiff. hello, I am Prince of Lower Mars.br
I understand, Ash said in a soft voice. br
Kyo sighed. ::He's a common' Princes but..:: So you say that you're trying to get to the princess's hm? Wouldn't happen to be, Leena would it? he asked him, that tone in his voice, the way boys tease other little boys.br
Ash shook his head hastily No, sir! I was going to ask Princess Moon for a dance, actually. he said, fidgeting with his small fingers. br
Kyo laughed a little. Well then! He cringed to himself as he grabbed a hold of the boy's hand. Follow me! We'll get us both up there super easy! And with that, Kyo dragged Ash along.br
Ash stumbled along on his feet as he followed the Prince of Lower Mars. ::He's actually helping me..:: he thought to himself. br
br
A girl stood in a small corner by herself, looking at her feet. Her hair was such a light color of blue it looked almost white. Falling to just above her shoulders, she didn't wear a tiara either. Her raven winged black dress, had long sleeves that went to her wrists, leaving a traditional robe' look to it. But gold designs was intricately designed on the cuffs, collar, and bottom of the dress. Her soft blue eyes looked at Leena and Chibi-Usa. I wish I could be so lucky as Leena.. She heard a cry from the audience as she saw the King and Queen of Lower Mars walking up towards the main platform. Along with the King and Queen of Phobos, and Deimos as well. she said, standing away from the comforting spot she began to walk forward towards them, and the rest of the royal crowd.br
Queen Rei looked at Leena and Chibi-Usa, giggling and pointing at the boys around ten beginning to come towards them. I love that one! Chibi-Usa said, pointing to a man that looked much like her father. br
That one's cute! Leena said, pointing to a boy with dark brown hair, his eyes a cool green.br
Queen Rei shook her head as she turned around facing Serenity. I can't believe it. They're so young and yet. They act so mature'. The two good friends laughed a little, as Edymoin and Adime talked amongst themselves. br
That is very true, Rei. Serenity said in a nod. Oh! Who is that? Serenity nodded over to two little boys running this way.br
Rei looked over and smiled a little. That must be Kyo..but.. huh. She squinted her eyes a little as they came closer. Prince Ash? she said questionably. ::Perhaps.. The air' of royalty hasn't hit the children and they do except the lower royalties of Mars:: Rei thought hopefully. br
Serenity smiled. It's good to see the young ones joining together..Isn't it, Rei?br
Yes, yes it is.. Queen Mars commented.br
Your Highness.. a small voice said behind both Serenity and Rei. The two turned around to see the small girl with the very light colored hair. It is an honor to meet you both, she added on. br
Serenity looked at Rei, hoping to get a name as Rei nodded to the girl. It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Princess Deimos. Rei turned to Serenity. Queen Moon, this is Mikara, Princess Deimos. Her proper betrothal will be announced as well, to Prince Ash. she explained.br
Mikara stayed silent as she rose. I believe it is a great honor to have my betrothal announcement be done during such an occasion. Mikara smiled a little, looking no more then 8, but she was nine in the true factors of it all. br
Rei nodded to her and smiled. You are a true lady, Mikara. br
Yes, a true lady, Serenity agreed.br
Leena turned to see who her mother was talking to. Oh! Mikara.. She said almost enthusiastically.br
Chibi-Usa tugged on Leena's arm a little. Who's that? She asked her.br
That's Mikara, Princess Deimos. Leena whispered to her. She may be a commoner Princess, but she's very nice! br
Chibi-Usa nodded her head and bowed to Mikara. Hello Mikara! she said, in a sweet little voice. br
A voice yelled, pushing by the other boys, who were still standing there, to shy to ask the two beauties to dance. Kyo came dashing up. br
Leena looked over at Kyo and put her hands on her hips. What do you think you're doing?! she asked him. You ran right in front of all those boys! That's not nice kyo!br
Well.. I uh.. he looked down and fidgeted with his feet. I just wanted.. the first dance is all. he said, looking up to her, smiling. br
Leena turned a little red as she looked on at Kyo. oh..well um..br
Chibi-Usa leaned over and snickered. Leena's got a boooooyyyfriiiiieend! she exclaimed.br
At this, she turned a deeper shade of red. I do not, Chibi-Usa! she exclaimed. br
But all chibi-Usa did was cover her mouth and giggle.br
By now, the complete royalty of Mars was on the platform. The adults talking amongst themselves,s as MIakra listened in on it all. br
Ash finally came walking up. Some how he had lost Kyo's grip in the amount of boys in the ballroom. He cleared his throat as he bowed to them. Hello again..princesses.br
Chibi-Usa blushed a little, looking at Ash. why hello! she said.br
Ash looked up at her and smiled. Hello, Princess moon. I was wondering.. he cleared his throat a little, holding out his hand to her. Would you care to dance? His voice was a little shaky.br
Leena looked over at Ash, lowering her eyes. ::A commoner prince, asking the most important princess in this system to dance? I don't understand that at all!::br
Chibi-Usa smiled and shook her head. I'd love to! she exclaimed. She looked over at her mother and father. I'm going to go dance now! she told them, walking down the stairs, the boys parted. Whispers were heard all around, as the two tried their best to ignore them. Soon, they had reached a respectable spot and began dancing.br
Leena looked on, then turned away, looking over at Kyo. She smiled a little. want to dance? she asked him. br
Would I! he exclaimed. By now the thought of him being the husband to Leena had slipped his mind. He smiled at her as the two went out and began to dance as well./font
