Media lay on her bed, her sword on the floor. Her dress that she had to wear was hanging on a hanger on the door of her closet. She held a damp cloth to her arm, it was turning quickly red with blood. She turned her head at a soft knock on the door
"Come in" she said, Jesse opened the door, holding a roll of bandages and a bottle of clear liquid.
"cleaning alchol" he explained as he dabbed a bit on her arm. She winced at the sting, but it was barely visable. Jesse wound the bandage around her arm.
"I'm lucky that my dress has sleeves"
" I can put somthing on your cut so you don't have to wear a bandage if you want." Jesse said. The bandage that he made was nothing like what the healers did here. IT was very simple, but strong, it oviously wouldn't fall off very quickly. It was expertaly made, the bandage wrapped perfectly over each layer. are you just gonna continue with this stuff about the bandage or get on to the groping scene? what are you talking a bout? you know.. the one I made up. I hate my other self.
the feeling is mutal.
"thanks. I would like that."
"so what's with you and Deren?"
"how did I know you were going to ask that ?" she flopped back on her bed.Jesse just paciently looked at her. " I'm engaged to Deren."
"oh I see, you love him" Media snorted Jesse looked at her quizically.
"hardly. I don't feel anything for the guy. Don't even like him. My father adores him. thinks we're the perfect couple. It's just so I can rule actually. Without a proper husband, I'm not fit to rule. which sucks beyound all composition. It's for fanelia." Jesse nodded in understanding.
"that must be rough"
"it is! YOU don't know how hard it is to be a princess. everyone expects you to be proper. in manner and etiquette. to be obesessed with boys, clothes and hair. To go into a trama the minute a small drop of mud flashes on your clothing. I hate thinking about clothes ,and my hair is a pain. I love playing in the dirt. Suara, one of the maids would be a better princess than I would" Jesse just sat there listening. "I'm sorry. it's probably boring for you to listen to this. so, what's your family like? How do you know my mom? what's your life like?" Jesse smiled at her questions
"My family's totally nuclear. it's funny. I have a mom a dad and a sister. Kinda strange actually. My mom's been in love with my dad since high school. and best friends with Hitomi for longer. Hitomi took care of me and my sister... who's my twin, for the majority of our lives. She told us stories about gaia, and Van. Then, after my sister was asleep, she would stare up at the sky, as if she was trying to find somthing. I guess she was looking for Gaia." he stopped to reflect on the moment. " Even when she was happy. she always seemed so different. as if part of her wasn't really there. I think she missed you alot Media" Media was looking at him, really looking at him. " I'm in college. taking med. studies. pretty much finished."
"and you're how old?"
"nineteen" Media looked at him with shock
"you're only 19! and you're almost finished with college? how is that possible???"
"I started early?"
Media laughed her windchime laugh again. Then glance at the clock, it was 6:30, the banquet started in a half an hour.
"shout! You got to get ready." she said. Jesse glanced at the clock and nodded
"do you want that stuff that I told you about?" Media nodded and Jesse pulled a small bottle out of his pocket.
"it looks like a polish bottle" Media commented as Jesse pulled a small brush out of his pocket. HE stuck it in the clear liquid, and gently pulled it across her cut.
"that should hold the wound closed for a while. Probably a day or so."
"thanks Jesse. now go get ready."
"um, Media" he said before he exited "what shoud I wear?"
"just borrow somthing from Deren"
"k" he walked out of the room leaving Media alone. She pulled off her shirt and pants. and pulled on the new dress. IT was grey with opague sleeves (meaning slightly see through) The skirt was semi full. The grey corset was outlined in silver, as was the triangular neck line. THe skirt was beutiful, slightly shimmery and silk. she brushed her hair, but she would need somthing different.... hmm, maybe Meryl could help her....
Jesse was shocked at the numorous outfits Deren had. Deren had given him a simple black outfit,with white trimmings. He couldn't get the tie-bow thing just right. He had to ask deren for help. Deren showed him how to do it and Jesse struggled through it. Now he and Deren were waiting in the slightly crowed ballroom. Deren had chosen a blue outfit, same design as Jesse's but different color sceme. Jesse just stoud there looking a bit aprhesive, whilst Deren wondered around the room,greeting people and looking quite comfortable. Suddenly, the soft music that had been playing stopped and the room got suddenly quiet. The raised platform's candle's were lit, and Van and Hitomi stepped out, Van in an outfit much like Jesse's and Deren's but a bit more elabrate. Hitomi was wearing a dark green dress that exatly matched her eyes. her now past her shoulders hair was pulled from her face into an elabrate bun, and little wisps of it was hanging gently on her face. Placed on her head was a large golden crown with Fanelia's crest on the front. (I hate crowns, the're so bulky) Then, Media came out, dressed in a shimmering grey dress, her hair in beutiful curls, and a small silver tiara placed on her head.....
