James watched as the Empress and Emperor conversed in playful arguing. To him, it was all too perfect. He knew everything about this new place would be perfect. For once in his life, things would go right. He took one last look around him. He could see the last carriages of the people of the Shire Empire arriving. Everyone now would soon be moving in to their new locations under the Moon Shire ground. He smiled to himself and quickly followed after the Empress and Emperor into the palace.

*******************

James followed closely behind Irvine and Moonbay. He was amazed with all he saw around him. Everything was so beautiful. Irvine looked back and smiled at the sight of the happy boy.

Irvine:   Hey James, Why don't you go and play with your friends?

James:  Huh?

Moon:  What's wrong James?

James looked down at his feet and spoke from under his breath.

James:  I-I, I don't have friends….

Moonbay:          Don't have friends? A nice little boy like you?

James:                 The kids at the Shire colony don't like me. They all say I'm a daddy's boy and that I'm a snobby rich bratt…..

Irvine:                  What?! Why didn't you ever tell me or your father?

James:                 Because,

Irvine:                  Because why? Why James?

James:                 Because you and daddy were never….

Irvine:                  Never what?

Moonbay watched as tears where forming at James' eyes. She knew that Irvine was trying to be comforting, but it wasn't the best thing at the point to be asking such questions. She then elbowed him and tried to make him "get the point".

Moonbay:          Irvine? I don't think that matters at this point.

Irvine:                  What?
Moonbay:          TRUST ME.

Irvine:                  …..

Moonbay:          James?

James:                 Yeah?

Moonbay:          You just have to prove to them that you're not. Show them that they are wrong. I know that you are one of the sweetist boys I know. So, you just have to prove to them all once and for all that you are one of the best little boys ever. Okay?

James:                 Okay.

Irvine:                  I have an idea: How about a festival?

Moonbay:          Hey, that sounds like a good idea. It's been a while since we had one of those.

Irvine:                  Really? With all your Empire's wealth, you'd think you'd be celebrating on a daily basis.

Moonbay:          There are also more important things than parties and festivals you know. By the way, when is Captain Velde to be back?

Irvine:                  Captain? I'd prefer if you referred to him as my "assistant".

Moonbay:          Well, he DID use to be one of your captains didn't he?

Irvine:                  Yes, but you see, "Emperor's assistant" is a much higher rank.

Moonbay:          Oh, I see now.

Irvine:                  Well, he's probably still 3 days away from New Helic City. So, I give him about a week.

Moonbay:          So, I take it he wont be in time for any festival?
Irvine's eyes widened. He had thought Moonbay had been opposed to the thought of a festival.

Irvine:                  Festival?

Moonbay:          Well, you did say you were planning on throwing one?

Irvine:                  Yeah, but…

Moonbay:          Irvine, look at it this way. I don't want you thinking your empire and yourself are merely "guests". Think of this palace as your own. Whatever is here, belongs to you also.

Irvine:                  Right. I think we should start the festival In two days.

Moonbay:          Two days? A festival for MY empire would take at least 5 days to prepare! Two days isn't enough! I have to come up with decorations, clean out the ball room, come up with the guest—

Irvine:                  Moonbay! Relax! I'll take care of it all!

Moonbay:          What?

Irvine:                  Trust me! Don't worry. Just keep doing what you're doing and I'll take care of all the preparations.

Moonbay:          Well…alright. This is, afterall, YOUR festival. Very well, do as you wish "Emperor".

With that said, Moonbay went away to leave herself to the matters of the Empire.

James:                 Irvine? What was it you were saying about my father?
Irvine:                  Your father is on a business trip to New Helic City James. I thought you already knew?

James:                 I did. I just thought it was good news you were talking about. Like he was going to arrive sooner. Something like that

Irvine:                  Well, I do have some good news James. We are going to throw a surprise festival.

James:  A surprise? What kind of surprise Irvine?

Irvine:                  Oh, you'll see James. When the time comes, you'll see.
