I forgot to say in my first fic! This is set a few years after Zidane and Garnet settled in. So they aren't 17 years old any more ^-^! Sorry for the mix up...Enjoy!

"Princess Loni, Prince Tork. PLEASE!" Steiner called as he chased the two now 7-year-old royal twins around the castle. Princess Loni was now as tall as Vivi and had long golden lockes draping behind her as she ran, her deep hazel eyes darting back every now and then to make sure that Steiner wasn't catching up. Her elder brother by 3 minutes was a few feet ahead. He would be slightly taller than Loni and has shortish brown hair, which he can just tie in a small ponytail. Azure eyes watching for the next turn to dart around leading his smaller sister around the castle. His dark tan tail waving behind him as he strode, giving him extra balance for the sharp turns.
"PLEASE!!" Steiner panted; he was getting to old for this. Suddenly the two twins were halted by a small dark figure in front of them. They froze trying to work out whom it was.
"G-GOT YOU!!" Vivi laughed as he gave chase. The two twins squealed with delight as Tork grabbed Loni and bolted back. Vivi could be pretty quick but not enough to keep up with Tork. He grabbed the slower Loni in a bear hug and she squealed. Tork turned and grinned as he went back to running.
"B-Beatrix!!" Vivi called as he held the struggling Loni, "Tork's heading your way!" Tork kept running and flitting around corners at unbelievable agility for a 7yr old. He looked back briefly to check on Vivi when, *THUMP* He smacked straight into Beatrix and they went falling to the floor. Beatrix wrapped her arms around him and called
"Got Him!" back to Vivi. She got up with the struggling Tork in her grasp and watched as Vivi walked around the corner now holding Loni's hand. She calmly walks beside him. Beatrix put Tork down.
"You finally got me!" he grinned. Beatrix smiled and looked up as she saw the panting Steiner appear.
"Getting a bit old for this are you Steiner," she mocked.
"No!" Steiner snapped, still catching his breath. Beatrix grinned.
"Come on you two, better get ready"
"Aww! Do we have to!" whined Loni as she walked over next to her brother.
"Yes! Now come along. The performance will be starting soon and they wont wait for you two!" she ordered for the two to get moving towards their rooms. They both sighed and began to go.
"What is it we're seeing again?" asked Loni as they neared the chambers.
"An old play. The one that brought your mum and dad together" she explained.
"You mean that Budgie one?" Tork asked. Beatrix laughed,
"Almost, It's actually called 'I want to be your Canary'" she explained as they entered the room. Vivi following close behind. "Now, better get you two cleaned up" she stated as she opened the bathroom door and began to run a bath.
"Princess, you first"
"Okay!" Loni agreed as she grabbed her robe and darted into the bathroom and closed the door. Tork perched up on his bed and watched out the window. Vivi approached him.
"What's the matter T-Tork?" he asked as he got up on the end of the bed. Tork sighed,
"I wish Mum and Dad would get us ready for once. They never seem to be around anymore" he looked back out the window.
"They're King and Queen of Alexandria" explained Vivi, "They've been extra busy lately to prepare for the performance"
"Do they think that's a stupid show is more important than us?" Tork stated with a questioning look on his face as he turned to Vivi.
"O-Of course not!" Vivi stated positively.
*Tork! * A voice called from the bathroom. Vivi looked there and then back at Tork.
"Your turn" he said as he got down off the bed. Tork did the same and strode slowly towards the bathroom door.
"Tork!" Vivi called as Tork opened the door. Tork looked over. "Your lucky to have parents!I never, and neither did Zidane. And Garnet never even knew hers. Just remember that" he smiled. Tork smiled two.
I've never thought of it like that He thought as he went into the bathroom and Loni trotted out in her robe, closing the door behind her.
***AT the preformance***
Tork was seated beside Zidane and Loni was on the other side of Garnet. The preformance hadn't started yet so they were casually chatting to each other.
"How was your day?" asked Garnet as she sat down.
"Fun!" chirped Loni as she straightened out her lacy dress.
"What about your's Tork?" she looked his way. But Tork wasn't listening. He was to busy leaning over the side of the balcony and watching all the people and the band set up.
"Tork!" called Zidane. Tork swung around in surprise.
"What? I didn't do anything!" he stated. Zidane smiled,
"We're not accusing you of anything, your mother was talking to you," he said calmly as he took his seat.
"How was your day?" asked Garnet again. Tork shrugged,
"Okay I guess," he said dryly.
"What's wrong?" Garnet looked concerned
"Shhh!" Zidane hushed, "It's starting" Tork quickly took his seat and watched the elaborate fire works start as the band played and rose above the stage.
During the play, both Loni and Tork watched with interest. The sword fights, love scenes and dramatic talking. When the sword fight began between Blank and Cinna (normally Zidane was here). Tork got up from his seat and leant over the side to get a better look. His eyes light up as he watched, tail twitching with every move the sword fighters made.
**End of the play**
Every body rose and applauded as the cast of the preformance came out onto the stage and bowed.
"That was great!" cheered Loni as she clapped.
"Well, I'm off to catch up with the fella's" Zidane stated as he began to walk off.
"Wait, Dad!" Tork called after him. Zidane stopped and turned towards his son.
"Umm...can I come too?" Tork asked hesitating slightly. Zidane looked over at Garnet.
"I think it's your bed time Tork," she stated.
"Aww! But mum! I'll only be a little while!" he pleaded. Garnet sighed,
"Okay"
"Yes!" he ran after Zidane as he headed for the ship.
Zidane and Tork casually made their way to the Prima Vista 2.
"I see you liked the sword fight scene," stated Zidane.
"Sure did! I want to be just like you dad! A great fighter!" he chimed as he pretended to have a sword. Thrusting it about and charging at Zidane.
"Whoa! Slow down there" he joked as he scooped up the young prince and carried him over his shoulder to the bottom of the stairs.
"LEMME GO!" Tork squealed as he struggled, giggling away.
"Alright.." Zidane grinned as he went to drop him.
"NO!" he called as he grabbed Zidanes arm. Zidane grabbed Tork's trousers and lowered him down. Tork swung around and grinned widely then his expression went into aw as he saw the ship up close. Zidane turned around.
"Well, I haven't seen you in a while, Old girl" he said quietly.
"Who you talking to?" Tork asked.
"The Prima Vista 2" Zidane stated. Tork still looked confused as the bordered the ship and headed into the cabins. Zidane knew exactly where to go and Tork followed closely behind as he watched everything go by. Zidane approached a door and listened in. He could hear very familiar voices. He stood up straight and banged on the door. The chatted halted as someone approached the door and opened it. It was Marcus.
"Marcus!" Zidane chimed.
"Zidane!" Marcus answered as he grabbed the little genome and pulled him in the door.
"Look who decided to grace us with his presence!" Marcus stated in a stuck up voice.
"Knock it off!" Zidane hushed, "Hey guys!" he acknowledged the other members.
"The great king of Alexandria" stated Baku and he mock curtsied. Zidane pulled a face at him. Tork, who'd gone shy all of a sudden, peeked from around the corner of the door.
"Looks like we got a tag along" stated Blank. Zidane swung around.
"Don't you go shy on me" he stated. Tork reeled back out of sight.
"Who is it?" asked Cinna.
"Come on" encouraged Zidane, "This is one of my two kids, Tork" Tork slowly made his way into the doorway and looked around the room at all the strangers. Looking a little nervous he took a few steps in.
"Hey there little guy!" boomed Marcus deliberately, scaring the life out of little Tork. Tork bolted for Zidane and skidded in behind him. Baku looked a little confused,
"Did I just see what I thought I saw?" he stated as he approached Zidane and Tork. Tork hid even more behind Zidane as the extra large scary man came near him. A huge grin covered Baku's face as he stood up straight.
"That's definitely your kid, Zidane!" he boomed.
"Why's that?" snapped Blank. Zidane took a step sideways to reveal Tork and Tork ran over behind him again, but something flicked along behind him as he did.
"A damn Tail!" cheered Cinna.
