Sticky situation

The next morning Rini awoke quite early, as she always did, having a window that faced the east was defiantly getting annoying. She rush through her morning routine of getting ready, her thoughts concentrating on non other than ….that's right, food, she is Serena's daughter after all and breakfast is the most important meal of the day. She rushed down the stairs to and through the 'maze' of castle she lived in, to the breakfast table. She hopped into her seat as a plate stacked full of pancakes was placed before her. She dug right in not yet noting that she hadn't been the first to arrive, Palla, Vesta, and of course James were all seated at the table finishing up there breakfast, except for Palla, who had long since forgotten her breakfast and now fully engaged in a book. James was looking forward at Rini, chuckling at the way her face lit up when presented with food and was amazed at how fast she could shovel all that food down. Her plate now almost empty, Rini looked up around the room, noticing for the first time that there were other people in the room. Vesta was looking at her with a disgusted look and the prince was just smiling at her.

"Sorry, I hadn't realized you guys were here yet." She said, a blush creeping up her cheeks as she realized just how much she was acting like her mother had when she was 14.

"How could you have? You were to busy stuffing your face to realize that there were other people attempting to eat." That commit even managed to gain Palla's attention, tearing her away from her book.

"Geez, I said I'm sorry." Her voice was half hurt and half angry.

"Well if you would actually ever show some manners then you wouldn't have to apologize." Palla and James were now starting to get uncomfortable but knew better than to interrupt these two after they had started. The argument had grown loud enough to attract the attention of Ceres, who had just woke up, Lita and Juno, who had been in the kitchen, and several members of the staff. They continued on like this until for sometime until Rini finally lost it. She picked a small piece of syrup soaked pancake and threw it across the room, hitting Vesta on the collar of her shirt, syrup splattering her. Vesta growing quite angry responded by throwing a blueberry filled pastry at Rini. It hit her on the face and broke open causing her to be covered in blueberry filling. As hard as he tried, James couldn't help but find this funny. He tried to contain his laughter, but he just couldn't help himself, she looked like a smurf! Insulted that he found this funny, Rini picked up a pastry similar to the one she had just been hit with and proceeded to throw it at him. She realized then he was right to have laughed, he looked quite funny himself. Her laughter only made him vengeful. Ceres, who was always in the mood to have fun, felt a bit left out so she also picked up some food and threw it at Rini. Eventually all five girls and James were engaged in the biggest food fight that would ever occur in the castle. The staff that had heard the commotion watch in amusement and horror as everything from orange juice to muffins were lunged across the room creating a mess that they prayed they wouldn't be responsible for.

After about an hour of lecturing from their parents and another hour of cleaning they were seriously bored. They sat around on the dinning room floor debating what to do now. After about a half an hour Ceres suggested going to the beach, considering it was a beautiful day they all agreed. Everyone one returned to their rooms to get ready. When Rini reached her room she was all but surprised to find Allan glued to her T.V. again.

"You do know that you can use the door." Rini said glancing at the open third story window.

"Yeah I know, but what fun would that be."

"Well unless you plan on staying here you might want to get ready, were going to the beach."

"Sounds good." He stood up grabbing his clothes from her closet, he always kept some extra there for such cases as these.

Once ready they all headed out towards the beach, stopping for ice cream along the way. Within a couple of minutes they were there and had started to set all their stuff out, they were surprised to see that not too many people were there. Once their towels and everything was laid out, they headed straight for the water in order to cool off from the walk there. They ended up having a water fight, complete with dunking and arguments between Rini and Vesta.

Back at the castle the king was growing very agitated at the news he was receiving. For some time now he has been receiving reports of an unknown space ships flying over the earth every once in awhile. On top of that there had been multiplying rumors of spies from another planet that had supposedly been spotted around the castle, though they were only rumors, the problem with that is rumors usually were based on some form of fact. With another spotting of the air craft coming in, the king finally decided it was time to enhance the security. He called a meeting of all the former scouts and the heads of security on an emergency meeting. They were curious as to what was going on, the king had decided it to be best if he kept some of this quiet so nobody started to worry. Moments later they were all gathered in a large room taking their own seats at the table with the king at the head of the table and the queen at his side. As the meeting progressed, it was decided that they would station more guards at the entrances so that nobody they didn't know would be allowed to enter. They had also decided that the princesses should no longer be able to venture out side of the castle without a guard escorting them, at least until they were able to find out who the aircraft belonged to and why they were circling the earth.
