Part 2
"Liz there is no way that my dad will let me get married," Mariana said thousands of miles away from the planet of Cyprus, but headed in that direction. "I'm serious because he looked at me and said, 'If anyone so much as touches you I'll kill them."
"Calm down Maria. Your dad isn't King," Mariana's best friend said to her.
"What's that supposed to mean? You are far too confusing. Too many hidden meanings," Mariana rambled on. While Mariana was rambling she didn't notice that Queen Catherine and a few angels had entered their room. Liz smiled and touched Mariana's hand to show her that they had company. "Hello Queen Catherine," Said Mariana, " please sit down."
The Queen seated herself, but the angels didn't until Mariana remembered to ask them to sit as well. Elizabeth and Catherine sat with one another and talked about Cyprus and Elizabeth's home planet. By the end of the night they knew eachother quite well and were more like mother and daughter than good friends. When the Queen had left and taken her angels with her Mariana let out a long sigh.
"Was it that bad Maria?" Liz asked.
"Man those angels are highly annoying and having to spend the entire night with them has seriously damaged my health," Mariana said hotly,
Liz laughed," What did you talk about?" Liz asked. "Guys. Apparently the Prince's second in command is an Angel," Mariana answered. "So what did the Queen have to say?" Maria asked interested.
"Oh we talked about everything. I swear she is a very intriguing woman," Liz said fondly. "Did you know that the sky at Cyprus is a different color every day of the week!" Liz said excitedly.
"Wow I've never seen you so excited to visit a new planet," Mariana said impressed.
"So excited that I will in fact be using Bethany to pretend to be me again," Liz said happily yet nervously.
"I love it when you use someone else to be you. You are so much more fun," Mariana said happily.
"What do you mean?" Liz asked curiously.
"You just go crazy like nothing matters!!" Maria said dancing around.
Liz laughed as Maria began recalling all of the fun things they had done with one another over the years.
"Remember..Oh remember," Maria began," when you got the Prince on Varcon wasted and then you got totally shafted by his fiancé! Remember that?" Maria laughed as though recalling one of the best moments of her life. "I had to hold her back when she tried to get a hit at you because you were acting super smug. If it had been up to me I would have let her at you, you deserved a hit for that look you gave her."
Liz laughed as Maria relived so many times that Liz lost her cool.
"Yeah well nobody's perfect. Not even a Goddess," Liz said stubbornly.
"So what did you mean before about my dad not being King?" Mariana asked.
"Oh I meant you can date any guy that's above your dad's rank and he can't do anything about it," Liz said.
"Really? So like your brother Kyle isn't off limits? Mariana asked Liz slyly.
"Gross, sick, disgusting, revolting, pick your word for it, but that is one thing I am not willing to talk about," Liz said quickly. "I told Catherine that Bethany would be taking my place and she agreed it was a good idea, so everybody believes Bethany to be the Goddess and me to be Lady Elizabeth," Liz said happily.
"Ooh I bet Alexander isn't too happy about that," Maria said.
"Oh he'll probably be storming in here any moment," Liz said just as a tall man walked in.
"Why must you torture me? Bethany is my girlfriend, practically my fiancé and you, my own sister, make me meet her in secret so that nobody will know who she is? Or who you are?" he shouts angrily.
"Alex," Liz began calmly," you know I don't do this to hurt you or keep you apart from Bethany, but I must remind you that if you are caught kissing or doing anything sexual with Bethany, they will think that the Goddess and her brother are lovers. If that happened we would likely have to leave Cyprus or reveal who I am, neither of which I am planning on doing."
"Wait, you're not leaving Cyprus?" Maria asked.
"Well it depends if I like the planet and the people," Liz said.
"You have never been this excited about a place before. I've traveled around the universe with you, and there's something different about this one," Maria said happily. "It's the one, I can feel it in the air."
Alex looked at Liz and said, without moving his lips. If we're really going to stay there you're going to have to reveal who you are in the end. For Bethany and me.
Liz silently answered I know. I will once I've found the one guy I'm meant to be with. He can't know I'm a Goddess or I wouldn't know if his love were true.
Maria seemed to have noticed that Liz and her brother weren't just having staring contests so she went to her room where she picked up her guitar and made up a few verses.
I cannot help it I couldn't stop it if I tried The same old heartbeat Fills the emptiness I have inside And I heard that you can't find love So I won't complain Cuz why would I stop the fire That keeps me going on Cuz when there's you I feel whole And there's no better feeling in the world Without you I'm alone and I'd rather be in love With you.
A woman's voice drifted away as Michael woke. He had a grin on his face, "What a beautiful voice," he said to himself.
