PART 2 - NEVER SAY NEVER

LISE'S STORY

Lise, the former princess of the amazoness stood on a dark red cushioned stool, the tailors of the kingdom all around her, measuring her, and making her feel thoroughly uncomfortable.

They were all worked up because she had finally returned with her younger brother, Prince Elliot and was now being forced to take the throne, as her father was dead. Queen Lise, she thought to herself. She did not like that title at all.

The tailors continued measuring to make her new dress, and Lise didn't want to imagine what it looked like. She hated skirts, dresses, anything like that. She was a soldier, not some ditzy pretty barbie doll! She wanted to be back out in the wild, hunting Needle Birds and flinging spears!

Okay, so she's not your everyday ideal Queen, but she had grown far too use to adventure to give it up now for a life of luxury like this!

She escaped as soon as she could, wanting to get away from everyone. She went to see Elliot. She knocked on the door of his room, and without waiting for a response, opened the door. A warm breeze was floating in through his window, but the blonde prince wasn't there.

Lise scanned the room quickly, and her eyes fell on the window. It was open! She dashed to the window, and looked out. Prince Elliot was sitting peacefully on the roof, enjoying the summer weather. "ELLIOT!" shrieked Lise. She lost him once, and was not about to take a gamble.

"ELLIOT!!!!" she shrieked again. She climbed out the window carefully and towered over her confused-looking brother. "Elliot, how many times do I have to tell you - NEVER do something like this! NEVER do something dangerous! I would NEVER have expected you to take this so lightly after what happened last time!" exploded Lise. Elliot looked slightly alarmed at her, and had this been a regular family, he would've shouted back. Instead, he smiled.

He knew Lise far too well - she was way too over-protective. "Isn't it nice up here?" he said, smiling at the look on his sister's face. "I - well..." Lise looked around, her bronze hair rippling in the wind. She took a seat next to Elliot and looked at the trees around her.

"Never..." she started. "Never would I have ever thought I would be able to sit with you, Elliot, here back in Rolante, the wind blowing..." she sighed. Ever since the day Mom died, I felt obliged to guard the castle, Lise thought. But now - If I'm queen, who will protect it? I don't even WANT to be queen...

"What's up, Sis?" asked Elliot. "Nothing." she lied. "You know...that day with Bill and Ben..." started Elliot, his golden hair flowing in the breeze. "I acctually believed that I would see Mom again... I knew it was wrong to get my hopes up like that... but..." he hung his head.

"Don't Worry, Elliot. I would've done the same thing. I...wish Mom was with us... but she's never coming back." said Lise quietly. Elliot shook his head. "Never say Never, Lise! She's with us... if not in body, then in soul, and in thought." Elliot said. Wow, Lise thought. Wow, what a wise kid!

"You Know, Elliot, you're right. Never say Never. Never...ever...ever!" said Lise, now smiling, Elliot too. "Then - " Said Elliot, standing up. " - A toast is in order! To Mom!" he raised his hand. "To Dad!" added Lise, now standing also. "And to Never, ever, EVER say Never!" they both said in Unison, smiling, and looking brightly at what seemed like a much better life in Rolante Kingdom.

Author's Note: Whee, Part 2 ish done!! I hope ye who is reading this liked "Never say Never!". It was a fun little story, and I was imagining Lise in a frilly dress walking down a velvet carpeted staircase through-out the whole thing =)
