Ella's eyes fluttered open to the sound of bird's chirping happily outside
of the window. She inhaled the sweet taste of lavender that filled the
room, a let out a content sigh. Her head moved to focus on the mass of
handsome sun-kissed hair that rested upon her shoulder.
Kissing his head softly, she murmured into his locks, "Wake up my prince."
Tilting his head slightly, as to see the source of noise, he chuckled, "I thought I told you to call me Char."
"Then wake up my dear Char" Ella said smiling. "Have a good sleep?"
"Wonderful", Char replied, sitting up and stretching. "What time is it anyway?"
The clocked chimed a merry tune followed by exactly nine bongs. "Does that answer your questions?" Ella said, sitting up too. She slid off the bed and rubbed her eyes. "So where are my clothes anyway? You can't expect me to wear my wrinkled wedding gown all day, can you?"
"Oh, they should be around here somewhere", Char replied, joining here on the floor. "Try the wardrobe."
Ella ambled over to the armoire, and opened the doors. She was surprised to see that several of her gowns had already been placed there, along with matching shoes, and purses.
Char strolled over to his wardrobe and selected an outfit of bright blue and gold. Thinking for a moment, he hesitantly asked, "Err... do you want me to um, go t another room or something?"
Ella had not yet considered this. While they were of course lawfully married, it seemed awkward to change in front of the prince. Looking around the room, she answered "Um...I think that there is some sort of screen over there", she pointed to a corner with a broad changing screen of red and gold.
"Oh, yes. Of course." Char and his garments went over behind the screen, and left Ella in front of her wardrobe alone. She scanned the closet, and chose a dress of pale pink with yellow accents. She walked over to the mirror that was placed upon the wall, and slowly dressed.
"Are you decent?" Char called out from behind the screen after a couple of minutes.
Checking her image in the mirror, Ella replied, "Yes!"
Char came out from behind the screen and smiled. "You look beautiful." And she did. Draped in a silk bodice, and a full skirt, she looked stunning.
Each of them turned to their vanities, and carefully did their hair. Char joined Ella, stood behind her, and looked at her in the mirror. He delicately placed a small tiara upon her head.
"Today, we meet the public."
Kissing his head softly, she murmured into his locks, "Wake up my prince."
