The princess sighed, falling back onto the bed. There was no way possible that she could wear these shoes. She was considering going to the ball barefoot, when she heard a giggle. She looked up to see a girl standing in the doorway. She was probably the same age as Kyosei, and she had dark blond hair and emerald green eyes. She smiled. "Good evening Kyosei-hime." she said bowing her head. She walked into the room, shutting the door behind her, then glanced up at the princess, putting down the laundry she held. "I had problems with the shoes too the first time." she said laughing. The princess blinked. "Excuse me?" she asked blankly. The blond smiled. "My name is Ayame. I was your replacement while you were gone." she said. Kyosei held out her hand, and Ayame took it, shaking it. "Nice to meet you" Kyosei said. Ayame nodded. "Nice to finally meet you too." she replied. Ayame glanced at the shoes, then at the princess. "Don't go barefoot. You'll get stepped on." she said smiling. The princess blushed faintly. "How did you know I was thinking that?" she asked. Ayame laughed. "I thought it, I tried it, I suffered the consequences." she said. Kyosei smiled. "Alright then…thanks for the advice." she said. Ayame smiled. "No problem. Mystic told me you needed some help with your hair." she replied. The princess nodded.
Ayame nodded and sat behind her on the bed and started messing with Kyosei's hair. "So tell me about yourself." she said. Kyosei shrugged. "There's not much to tell…why don't you tell me how to act properly?" she said blushing again. Ayame laughed. "Sure. Well…a lot of these people are boring, trust me. All you gotta do is smile and nod, and pretend you are listening. Suitors…just ignore them I say. Mystic will tell you to be polite however, so just make small talk with them, then pretend you have to go do something. Also, the princesses of Serenity's court will be here." she said. Kyosei's eyes widened. "Serenity-hime will be here?" she gasped. Ayame blinked, pinning Kyosei's hair into a bun. "Yea…and Rei-hime, Minako-hime, Ami-hime, and Makoto-hime…and maybe the other princesses too…" she said.
Kyosei couldn't believe it. Serenity was coming! And so was Makoto…….she'd finally see her sister again. Ayame finished putting up Kyosei's hair, then pulled some loose strands down so they framed her face. "There…you are the prettiest princess I've ever seen" she said. Kyosei looked in the mirror, then looked at Ayame. "Thank you so much." she said. Ayame smiled. "No problem…also, here's this." she said. She handed Kyosei a locket. "If you need me, you can contact me with it." she said. "I have the other." she added revealing the locket she wore. Kyosei nodded again. "Now. I'd better go get ready. I'll see you later." Ayame said. She smiled then left the room. Kyosei watched her go, then put the shoes on again, determined to do this Princess thing right.
