You guys, I am so, so, so, so, so, so, so sorry! I meant to get it out before this past weekend, but then I had to go to Detroit, Michigan. And I even tried to get it out before that but I had a big history test, and a bunch of homework, and it kind of took over my life. Not like you care though, you just want the story. So…here it is!

"Okay, all done!" Lalasa pronounced. Holding up the dress, she looked at Kel. Kel was staring at it, a questioning look on her face. Then seeing Kel's face, Lalasa questioned, "What? Don't you like it?"

"Oh, of course I do, it's just…" Kel trailed off. Lalasa nodded, urging her to go on. " I just…well…are you sure? I mean, are you sure that this is what the ladies wear?"

"Oh! Is that all? Of course! Why, were you expecting something else?" Kel nodded. "Ah. I see. Well, just trust me, okay?"

Kel nodded again, then said, "When have I not?" Lalasa shrugged her shoulders. "Oh! I have to go change into this!"

"My lady, perhaps you should stay here."

"Why?"

" I think you may need help…" Kel had a questioning look on her face, so Lalasa continued. "With the, ah, the… undergarments." Kel promptly blushed a deep shade of red.

"Special ones?"

"Yes." After 20 minutes or so, Kel was ready. Or so she thought. Lalasa had brought out face paint.

"Oh, no! I refuse," Kel protested when she saw. " I absolutely refuse!"

"Please, my lady, I know exactly how to apply it!" After a minute or so of arguing, Kel gave in.

"Are you done yet?" Kel whined.

"I am now." Lalasa spun Kel around, so she could face the mirror. Kel let a slight gasp escape her.

"I look…I look…" Kel trailed off, unable to find words.

"Like a lady." Lalasa finished. Then they heard the dinner bell ring.

"Oh, no! I must leave!" Kel started off towards the palace. "Thanks Lalasa!" She called. Kel walked quickly towards the palace. She didn't dare run and mess up her dress. When she finally arrived, she saw Dom waiting for her. "Sorry I'm late,"Kel apologized. "It's just-"

"That's okay." Dom broke her off. Taking Kel by the hand, he asked, "Where would you like to go?"

"Why don't you suggest something?"

"I know this resturaunt, down on the other side of the city. I forget it's name, but it's wonderful!"

"Sounds good to me." They walked off towards the restaurant together, talking about various things.

Once Dom and Kel reached the restaurant, they were immediately seated.

"There's such a long line, why did we seated first?" Kel wondered aloud.

"We're nobles, you see. They like to stay on our good side. The commoners waiting in line won't grumble to much for the same reason." Answered Dom.

"I see."

"So, what would you like to eat? They have wonderful fish, with a delicious sauce."

"What kind of sauce?" Kel inquired.

"Basil, tomatoe, garlic, onions, mushrooms, and carrots."

"Sounds good to me." A waitress came along, and Dom ordered for the both of them.

"We'll have the fish with garlic and basil sauce, and just water to drink."

"Is that all?" The waitress inquired.

"For now." Dom replied.

"So, Dom, do you get a vacation from the Own since my lord is going to be in the Islands?" inquired Kel.

"Yes, I do. My lord was also kind enough to keep paying those of us who aren't going to the Islands."

"That's good, then."

"Yeah, it means I won't have to live off my mother for the next two months." Kel smiled. "Unfortunately, my lord also expects me to work for it. Mainly dealing with small emergencies in the Royal forest, little things like that." Dom continued. Their conversation strayed to various other things, from the latest gossip, to Neal, to new optional classes being offered, to other topics.

Finally the food arrived. "It's good, huh?" Dom asked after 5 minutes of just eating.

"Whether it's because this food is good, or because I'm starving, I love it!" Kel replied. "Or maybe both."

"I think it's both."

They finished their dinner, and decided to walk around Corus for a while. They visited different shops, marveling at all sorts of things. Kel especially liked a pair riding gloves, but decided they were too expensive when she found out the price.

"I'll buy them for you," offered Dom.

"No, no, no. 17 gold nobles? Besides, you already paid for the dinner!" Kel protested.

"For you, Kel, it's worth it." After quite a lot of arguing, Kel finally gave in, but promised to pay him back. Dom shrugged, and they continued on their path, slowly making their way back to the castle.

Once they finally reached the castle, they reached a lull in conversation, and silently walked up to their rooms together. Once they reached the. Dom gave Kel a kiss. Kel, petrified, just stood there. Dom broke off all of the sudden, and Kel fled.

Evil, aren't I? Stupid English teacher gave me C on my essay today, for reasons that don't even make sense. For example, I write, How were you identified as a Jew? and she crosses out How were, and ads was instead, making it Was you identified as a Jew? and then she calls it a fragment! I mean, really.

Once again I'm rambling. Oh well, such is life! Er, yea, anyway, PLEASE REVIEW! I DON'T CARE IF YOU FLAME ME, JUST REVIEW! Yeah, okay, I'll shut up now. That's all for now!
