Chapter Four: A Flashback of Truth
"Princess! You are going to be late!" the curly haired brunette called through the door. She pushed her hair over her shoulder, back away from her face. She then set her hand back on the hilt of her sword at her side.
"I'm coming, Beatrix," the voice said from behind the door. Beatrix sighed as she shook her head. She checked her watch again and realized that the princess wasn't *going* to be late, she *was* late. Beatrix then began her circular pacing that she was doing before she decided to remind the princess of her tardiness. Her white armor trailed behind her on the floor as she did her circular pacing.
She stopped abruptly as she heard the handle on the door being turned. The door opened to reveal the young princess. Her long violet hair which reached to her thighs was pulled back in a blue clip. The long white dress she was wearing was strapless and flowed loosely from her waist to the floor. The ribbon around her waist formed a large bow in the back just above her butt. The ribbons leading off the bow also dragged slightly on the floor.
"It's about time, Princess," Beatrix said, sighing of relief. "We are already ten minutes late to the play."
"What play are we watching again?" the princess inquired.
"'I Want to be Your Canary'," Beatrix supplied, smiling at the younger girl. Then, Beatrix gave her a questioning look before a look of dawning spread over her face. "Garnet, you forgot your crown."
"Oh," Garnet said, reaching up to her hair and touching the empty spot. "So, I did." The violet haired girl picked up the fronts of her skirts and walked back into her room. She emerged a few minutes later, the small diamond crown on her head. "I believe I'm ready to go now."
"Then, let's go, your highness," Beatrix replied, smiling slightly. Garnet walked down the stairs from her room and followed Beatrix out the rather large door, leading away from the large room. Beatrix held the door for the princess and closed it behind her. Then, the princess followed Beatrix across the floating hallway out onto the balcony.
The general wandered over to the rather large queen and kneeled before her. "May I present your daughter, Princess Garnet til Alexandros, your highness," Beatrix said from her kneeleing position. The brunette then stood up and backed away from her queen.
Garnet sat herself beside her mother and began watching the already performing play. She became quite raptured with it the moment she sat down.
Beatrix went and stood on guard in front of the door that lead onto the balcony. After a few minutes of standing there, a man showed up, his armor clinking as he walked up the stairs leading to the floating balcony. Beatrix scowled at the man before crossing her arms. The man scowled back at her as he stopped in front of her. "I'm here for guard duty, General."
"Well, that job's already taken, Captain," Beatrix replied stiffly. She didn't move out of his way.
"Well, as Captain of the renowned Knights of Pluto, I believe I have as much right to be standing here as you do," the man replied, shaking his helmeted head. The white feather in his helmet moved slightly from the movement.
"You don't have any right whatsoever, Captain. Your Knights of Pluto are only used for *war*, not guarding the castle. You know this as well as I," Beatrix answered, rolling her eyes.
"General Beatrix! You deny me the privilege of guarding our queen?!" the man asked rather loudly as he was becoming annoyed. His face had begun to turn red from irritation.
"It is not my privilege to give, but her highness's," Beatrix responded, nonchalantly.
"Then, I shall talk to her highness," the man said, starting to walk toward the door. Beatrix did not move and he was forced to stop before he walked into her. "Let me through to speak with her highness."
"Where is your authority? Her highness said that she did not wish to be disturbed," Beatrix replied, a grin of superiority crossing her beautiful face. Her brown eyes glistened with mischief.
"I am Captain Aldebert Steiner of the Knights of Pluto and I will *not* be ridiculed by the likes of you, General Lukia Beatrix!" Steiner bellowed, becoming very red in the face. Beatrix just fix her white gloves and her white armor covering before turning back to look at Steiner, who was grumbling something under his breath. (AN: I figured that Beatrix had to be her last name like Steiner was Aldebert's....so...I gave her a first name! So, what do you think? Like? I could always change it! Any suggestions?)
"You are far too high-strung," Beatrix said, a smile gracing her lips. "And they say women are high maintenance."
"You will pay for this General," Steiner growled, his armor rattling as he shook from anger. "Mark my words."
"Is that another empty threat, Steiner?" Beatrix asked, feigning hurt.
"Argh!" Steiner bellowed, before turning and walking down the stairs again.
Beatrix began to laugh. 'He is so stressful. If only I could get him to loosen up some more,' Beatrix though before giving another hearty chuckle. She heard a loud amount of applause from outside before she turned and went through the door to watch the play herself.

~*~Dream/Delusion~*~
~*~Dagger's POV~*~
(AN: This is going to sound funky because it's told in a child's POV.....Oh, and I switched to present tense...but I'll change back once it's over...that's how you'll be able to tell when Dagger's dreaming...it'll be in present tense!)
I especially like this dress. I have no idea why, but maybe it was because it made me *feel* like a princess. I remember all the stories my Papa tells me before I go to bed. They're about princesses and princes and daring rescues. These things have never happened to me and I don't think they ever will. My prince will never come to rescue me so we can live happily ever after. But, I'm not of age yet, so maybe when I'm a little bit older.
Anyway, this dress makes me feel and look like those princesses in the stories that Papa tells me. Papa says it makes me look like an angel. The lace that makes up the straps is always tied up in bows on my shoulders. They always tickle me.
I run over to my bed and reach for the night stand. I grabbed the hairbrush off it and run back to the mirror before I begin to brush my hair. I pull it back in the blue clip always do which attaches to the near bottom of my hair. My hair has grown so long. It reaches to my butt.
"Princess? Where are you?" I hear someone calling. It's a girl's voice of course. I turn around to see Beatrix standing at the door.
"Beatwix!" I yell to the girl of sixteen. I have no front teeth so, when I talk my r's sound like w's. I think it's kind of funny.
I jog over to her and jump into her arms, which isn't too hard because I am only five. Beatrix picks me up and holds me, a smile on her face. "Are you ready to go watch the play, Garnet?"
"Of couwse," I say, smiling back her with my toothless grin.
"You better be," a voice says. It's man's voice this time. It's the voice I know so well and love. My Papa's voice. I turn and see him walking towards us. I begin to squirm in Beatrix's arms, which causes her to set me down. I run over to my Papa and wrap my arms around his legs.
He picks me up and twirls me around. My dress is flying about me and I begin giggling. My Papa is laughing too. He sets me down and I look up to him, my brown hair falling back over my shoulder. Most of it has fallen out of the clip I had just put it in. But, that didn't matter because my Papa was here and we are going to go see and play together. It was something about canaries. When I asked Papa about these canaries he said they were little yellow birdies. But, I didn't understand why they would make a play about that.
But, that didn't matter. I took my Papa's hand and we began walking toward the balcony and out into the night. I smiled up at him, my little hand tucked into his big one. This is going to be fun!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
That would be Chapter Four.....I am SOOOOOO sorry about not mentioning Baku's plan, but I promise you it will be in the next chapter....it's actually going to be when Dagger wakes up, so....yeah, it HAS to be in the next chapter! Hehe....really REALLY sorry! GOMEN! (Sorry!)
Stay Tuned For Chapter Five: A Pleasure to Meet You......What happened to Dagger? What was the flashback? Why are there TWO Garnets? And which one is the real one? Baku's plan revealed (that's a promise!) and two destinies become intertwined for eternity!
