A/N-Well here we go again.

Aerin's POV-

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" I screamed

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Kally screamed

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Neal screamed

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Kel screamed. All of our horses got scared and threw us on the ground.

"Eh?" I opened my eyes and turned around

"Neal! Kel!" I shouted

"Aerin!" Neal and Kel both chorused.

"HAHAHAHA We got you!!!" Neal laughed. I glowered at him, then I looked at Kally. She nodded. Then I looked at Neal and Kally looked at Kel. We both tackled them at the same time.

"Stop it! Stop it!" Neal squealed as I tickled him.

"NO!" I shouted, "You deserve it!" All four of us rolled around like that, wrestling eachother. Finally we all lay down on our backs, panting.

"That was fun." Kel gasped

"Definitely" Kally said.

"Wow it has been such a long time!" Neal breathed

"Are you ok Aerin? I mean Sivinly Islands was such a beautiful place, the last time we visited." Kel said

"Oh I am fine." I answered

"She is living here now!" Kally exclaimed!

"YES!" Neal and Kel said. (A/N- lets say they all met when the pages came to Sivinly Islands.)

"I guess we should be heading back." I sighed

"Yeah, there is a ball today." Neal said

"There is?" I asked

"Well you should know. You are the guest of honor." Kel replied automatically. I sighed, "I hate balls" Then I saw Neal and Kel holding hands.

"So I see you two are an item" I grinned

Both Neal and Kel blushed, "I guess" they said together. Then looked at eachother and blushed again. Kally and I laughed and collapsed because we were out of breath

Kel growled, "Well get on with it you two lets go!!"

"Ok ok ok" Kally said.

            It was three hours since we came back from the little hiking trip, and 2 hours since the midday meal and 2 hours till the ball. I sighed. I hate balls, going through all that finery, what was the point? Oh well. If there is a ball I might as well look good. I called the maid to help me.

"Oh miss, something came in for you today, I think it was from Her Majesty, Queen Thayet." The maid said.

"Thank you" I answered, "and by the way, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name."

"It is Manny Your Highness." She answered.

"Thank you." I said. Then I looked at the dress she handed me. It was breathtaking. It was a scarlet with Rubies aligning the hem. The under skirt (A/N I don't know what these things are called so work with me here, and there is kinda a cut which shows the underskirt in the front and back.) was a shimmery silver. Queen Thayet also had sent a silver tiara with Rubies in them. I added my own ruby ear bobs, and a silver braided chain/necklace. I decided that I wanted to look natural, so I put on some lip colour and just a tinge of rouge. Then I put on silver eye shadow. I put my hair in a half twist, so some of my hair cascaded my shoulders.

I was ready.
