Two and a half months later-

Elios sat, trying to read his book while a loud princess sat next to him, saying that she really liked him and some such nonsense. He ran his fingers through his white hair, which was feathered with blue shadows, "Excuse me, but I am studying, we shall speak later." She went off in a huff, and he knew that he wouldn't see her again, "Eriosu." His Mother called him by his formal name, "Yes Mother?" She stepped in, and took the book from his hands; "The young lady seemed quite angered." Elios sighed, "I do not like any of these girls who try to woo me with their declarations of love."

"Your true love shall appear soon Eriosu."

"Mother, how will I know her?"

"Give that time Eriosu, you will know when she comes, for she will not try to 'woo' you like these other girls, she will seek you to be the first to speak, and no, she will not declare her love to you like the girl who just left." Eriosu was not comforted, "Do you know who it will be Mother? I can easily say that I probably have not met her."

"Maybe my son, but it is not for the telling yet. The ball to welcome the moon family."

"How can I forget? The stuck up princess has definitely left an imprint on my mind!"

"She had the appearance and mind of an eleven-year-old when you met her, now she has that of a fifteen-year-old, just be kind."

"As you wish mother."

"Get back to your studies Eriosu." She said at his sarcastic tone, and to herself, "Please, Princess Serena, show him that you can love him."

"I don't see why we are going to the Sun, I can't stand that Elios!" Rainbow shook her head, "My daughter, just be on your best behavior, he was four!"

"I don't care how old he was, he was very disrespectful."

"You were as well, now sit down, we are almost there, and we wouldn't want you hurting yourself right before we got there!" Rini strapped herself in, and curled one of her pink pigtails around her finger. Instead of being in its usual cone-shaped odango up-do, she had tied white ribbons in bows around them 'Oh well,' she thought, 'at least there will be hot guys to talk to, that should take my mind off of the prince.' She straightened her imperial dress, which was sleeveless with golden rings all the way around the top, and golden beads going around the area under her chest. The bumpy landing placed them in front of the palace, "Oh great, the press." She muttered, and got up, stretching as she did so. The door opened in front of her, and she quickly stopped the stretch when the familiar light of a camera flashed into her eyes. Her grumpy attitude dispersed when she saw a white-haired boy in front of the palace who was little older-looking than she, "Mother, who is that?" Her mother knew all of the entourage for the Sun kingdom, so it was only natural that she should know who the handsome stranger was, "You wouldn't believe me.

".If I told you." Elios' mother said of the beautiful pink-haired girl that was looking at him, a blush on her cheeks. He wondered where the Princess was, but he really didn't care about her, he would have to wait until the introductions to find out who the mysterious girl was. The only way that he knew the Princess was by her odangos, which explained why he didn't recognize her. Young girls filed out that were all about the same age as the girl. He made sure that his shirt, which was more like a jacket, was straight, and that his pants were not dirty, as his whole outfit was white. It had with a blue collar that stuck up, and was quite see-through, and various buttons that were connected vertically with a black line thickly sewn into the outfit. The same blue fabric in his collar was also leaning out over his shoulders. His mother's butler started speaking, "Introducing Queen Arianna, King Angelus, Princess Lily, and Prince Eriosu of the Sun Kingdom." The girl he had been admiring looked shocked when he bowed at his name, and he was about to find out why. The butler of Queen Rainbow started their introductions, "Mother, ask him to name the pink-haired girl."

"I do not have to my son." The Queen answered, and he quickly looked around for the Princess again, ".and Princess Serena." The girl curtsied, and now he was the one who was shocked.

Rini blushed fiercely, knowing that he had found her attractive as well, and noticed that he was scowling just as fiercely as she was blushing, "That wasn't very funny Mother."

"No, it was hilarious, and for that matter, I know that he didn't recognize you either. Now wouldn't it have been even funnier had there been no introductions?" Rini scowled, "Ha, ha, ha." She said with sarcasm, "Just give him a chance." Rini was definitely tempted, "Mother."

"No man is who he will grow up to be when he is four." The Prince was definitely not smiling now, but he seemed to still be openly attracted to her, "He is angered at me, for treating him like a young boy, I'm sure."

"Do not forget Rini, he was young to you, and now he appears older to you, and he is supposed to look seventeen, with eighteen not far off. Be nice, and do not jump, I am told that he daily has girls running around his office, declaring their love." He had an office, "Why is he dressed like that?"

"He protects your father's golden crystal, and prays in Elysion, you'll also notice that he isn't wearing shoes, but he is a Priest after all." Sure enough, he wasn't wearing shoes, or socks, "Prays?"

"I have kept in touch with his mother, he is quiet, gentle, and polite." Everything that she could ever want, she realized. Her friends who had been sent to the castle time and again had warned her of his handsome stature, and that he had been kind to all of them, speaking in light conversation about weather, and other things before they left. She had not believed, remembering his words to her,

"Look Princess, I don't have time to listen to you, I must get back to my studies, as they are rather important to me."

"Don't be so rude!"

"Am I? You keep referring to me as 'small and insignificant' well I shall grow, and when that time comes, you will no longer be calling me small, the reverse shall be true."

"You are small though!"

"And?

"I'm leaving."

"Do what you will, I care not."

She had thought his vocabulary was very large for a four-year-old, now she didn't know what to think.
