Fair Maiden Mimi

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Mimi walked on the warm summer night down in the palace garden. All her worry's faded as she listened to the silent symphony of the night. The fairy's twirled on their minute feet. Little beads of dew drop from their hair, and their bodies. Mimi had snuck from the palace to be away from the pressures of her life. The night was soothing to her; the lights were out in the palace, the only light was from the pale full moon above her head. She kneeled on the cool grass, and picked a small white flower. She placed it gently in her hair. She yawned lightly and laid her self in the ground. Her hair fanned around her head as she fluttered her eyes shut.
"The princess…we shall protect her till the morning light comes." A fairy with green hair and skin said to his fellow fairies.
"Yes, Aspen is right…" a tiny fairy with pink skin and hair agreed. The fairies formed a circle around her and sang a summer night song to protect the princess in the palace garden well she slept.
The horse galloped down the dusty trail, the stars above twinkled above. He pulled the rains back to make the horse stop. He stepped off the horse to a small lake, the horse followed to moisten his parched mouth. He kneeled over the edge and looked at his reflection, his blue eyes and blond hair. He hit the water not wanting to see him self.
"Why can't I be normal?" He said leaning against a tree watching his horse take a drink, the horse lifted its head and then shook it then turned back to the water. He pulled a small silver instrument out of the bag that hung on his shoulder. He placed the cold metal to his lips and played soft random notes that made a song.
"At least I don't have to marry that stuck up princess! I can find a beautiful village girl and marry her." He said after putting the instrument back in his bag. He closed his eyes and feel asleep dreaming of the perfect girl.
Mimi awoke with the rising sun; she quickly got to her feet and rushed to the sting of sheets out of her window. She tugged on them and rushed up. She heard footsteps outside her open door; she climbed into her bed stuffing the extra sheets under her four-poster bed. She pulled the covers over her body and closed her eyes.
"Rise and shine Mimi dear!" her mother called pulling the covers off her slender body.
"Why should I rise and meet that pig prince!" Mimi said as she was being fit into her dress. "And I can dress myself!" Mimi said shooing the servants with her hands.
"Mimi, you're a princess and to become queen!" her mother said with a sigh, as Mimi gave her a face of disgust.
"Why me. You're only using me so you can bring peace to the two kingdoms!" Mimi shouted angrily at her mother as she slipped on pink shoes to match her pink gown.
"Yes Mimi, but we're not using you. We are simply keeping an agreement by you're father and King Ishida." Her mother said leading her daughter to the camber room were her father and King Ishida stood glaring at each other.
"Ah, here she is!" her father said motioning for Mimi to come to his side. Mimi unwilling obeyed her father's wish.
"Hello King Ishida it nice to finally meet you." Mimi said with a curtsy. King Ishida rubbed his chin.
"You don't want to be here do you?" he asked with a tone saying 'I can see right though you'. Mimi shook her head truthfully as King Ishida chuckled. "My oldest son feels the same way…you know he ran away last night because he didn't want to come. And I haven't seen him since!" he said with a hardy laugh.
"Why did you're son not want to meet my beautiful daughter!" Mimi's father said as King Ishida stopped laughing and took a serious tone.
"Because, he has met many princess's and he says they all are stuck up…so, I guess he thought she would be to." He said with a shrug as Mimi's father's face turned a dark shade of red.
"May I leave now father?" Mimi asked unsure, but didn't want to be in the middle of a quarrel. Her father waved her to go and she raced out of the camber.
"Mimi, where are you going?" her mother asked as Mimi walked past her.
"To the market." Mimi said marching up to her room to change her clothes into something peasant looking. She decided on a light green dress.
He woke up with the nudge of his horse's nose. His eyes opened and he scanned the area.
"What's 'tis it?" He said petting the horse's neck for comfort. The horse jerked its head towards a path. "You want to go down there?" He asked as the horse nodded its head. He hopped on the horse and headed down the path.
"Whoa! You can't ride you're horse in the market!" a small boy with blond hair yelled. He looked down.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know. I'm just passing though this town." He said hopping off the horse and tying it to a tree outside the market. He took the bags of value with him.
"May I ask you you're name?" the little boy asked.
"Yes, I'm Yamato." He said patting the small boy on the head. He bent down so he was eye-to-eye with the small boy. "Here, you like chocolate?" Yamato asked taking out a bar of dark brown. The boy licked his lips and snatched the bar from Yamato. He rushed away to show it to his friends. Yamato stood up and looked around the small market.
"Mimi, nice to see you back so soon!" a merchant called waving to her. Mimi waved back and walked over.
"So, what do you have this fine summer day? Candies, clothes?" Mimi asked rubbing her hands as the merchant laughed at what she was saying.
"You know what I have." The merchant said taking out a pink daisy out, and handing her the flower.
"Thank you!" Mimi said accepting the flower and digging in her coin purse to pay. "How much?" Mimi asked as the merchant shook his head.
"No, you don't have to pay…you got me enough to keep my family fed." The merchant said as Mimi pulled out a gold coin and placed it in his hand.
"Take it. It's the will of me!" she said with a tone that her mother used. The merchant laughed and willingly took the coin; he placed it in his bag and smiled at Mimi.
"Thank you…I hope I can repay you some how." He said with what looked liked tears in his eyes.
"No need for that." She said with a wave and walked down looking at the other merchants, and stores.
Yamato looked around the market when he spotted a girl with fair brown hair that followed down to her shoulders, her green dress trailed behind her. He stood thinking 'Heaven must be missing an angel.' He strutted off towards her in the small market.
"Excuse me Miss…" He said as she turned to see who was addressing her.
"Yes sir." She said flipping her hair over her shoulder.
"I'm new here and do you know anywhere where I can find a decent meal?" Yamato asked as the girl nodded.
"Yeah, this way." She said motioning him to follow her. She led him to a small store with bread and bakery good hanging in the window. Next to it was a shop with meat hanging in the window. "Here, these are the best bakery and butcher shop in the market." She said as he looked around the windows.
"I think I shall try one of those lovely looking cakes…then get a loaf of bread for the road." He said thinking out loud. She looked at him oddly and shook her head.
"My name's Mimi." She said holding out her hand. Her took it and kissed it gingerly.
"I'm Yamato." He said after letting go of her hand. "And such a fair maiden you are." He said standing up. Mimi blushed at the comment and looked back at the small stores.
"Are you traveling on a quest?" Mimi asked as he eyed her up and down.
"No, just didn't want to stay around and let my father arrange my life when I'm older." He said with a small sigh. Mimi turned to him.
"I feel the same way, my parents don't care…they were just trying to end a feud and bring peace! I really don't like the fact that I can't marry someone because I love them." Mimi babbled on. "Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to babble on…" Mimi said as she blushed.
"No need, it's not like you're not making cense." Yamato said with a smile appearing on his lips.
"I love this town, I love the people here, because they treat me the way I treat them, not as something I'm not." Mimi said as little children passed waving to her.
"I see you are loved by them." Yamato said as Mimi turned back to him.
"Yes, I gave them the needs to provide their families with food and clothes." Mimi said as two merchants selling flowers and candies passed by. Trumpets sounded in the distance. "I have to go, it was nice meeting you Yamato." Mimi said as she walked away towards the gates.
"Yeah…bye fair maiden Mimi." Yamato murmured as he waved.
