A/N Sorry for the major lack of update. I think I've just become the
laziest writer in the world. I will get to the main plot in the next
chapter or so. Anyways I have updated now and I'm on school holidays for a
few weeks so updates will be more often...I hope. Thanks every one for
reading and please review I could do with a helping hand.
Chapter 2
A Lot and So Little in Common
"Now I know why no one ever asks you for help when it comes to fashion" stated Jas disgustedly
"What!" exclaimed Liv
"What do you mean. Look at me I look like a bloody holiday tree" yelled Jas hotly
"A beautifully decorated holiday tree" said Ally trying to make a peace
"I don't care what you say I still look like a tree end of discussion," said Jas as she hurried into her room
"Where are you going?" asked Ally
"To change out of this, this...thing," answered Jas
"You don't have time we leave in 5 minutes" called Liv
"Yes I do I'm just going to have to use magic"
"Why didn't you do that in the first place?" questioned Ally
"Simple, I'm lazy"
"Well hurry up" shouted Liv as she watched Jas's door close
"Now where is Sly?"
"Knowing her she's properly going to be late again"
"Actually for your information I'm ready," said Sly from behind them
"Wow, maybe Jas should have asked you for advice instead of me" said Liv as she stared at Sly's gown
"Better you then me. I didn't pick this out," answered Sly
"Who did then?" asked Ally
"It was none other than my dear old grandma"
"Really, she has good taste, she knows what looks good on you"
"I know though I don't know how she's doing it," said Sly
"No one knows, it's the same with how mothers always knows your hiding something and what it is always is and always will be a mystery" said Liv
"Ha-ha, I know what you mean, maybe when we get to that stage we'll finally find out," laughed Sly
"If that girl doesn't hurry up..." started Liv
"I'll go and check on her maybe she needs some help," replied Sly as she walked to Jas's room door. "Hey you ok in there?" yelled Sly
"Fine give me 10 secs"
"Yeah whatever"
Knock, knock, knock
"That'll be the escorts. Jas move your ass" shouted Ally opening the door. Standing outside were 4 extremely handsome male Sayains. Each in a suit though by the looks on their faces they weren't too happy about it.
"Good evening, we will be your escorts tonight" said the first of the males bowing then offered his elbow "My name is Chex"
"Good evening to you to" said Ally, turning to the others she continued "My friends will be out in a minute". The next to appear was Liv and she took the elbow of a guy named Kal. Then Jas came out and was taken by another named Sala. Finally Sly walked out closed the door behind her and put the card key in her pocket. She took the elbow of the last guy who was named Lett.
As they walked out of their room they spotted the other four girls heading in the same direction dressed in beautiful ballroom gowns and chattering to their escorts except for one. Looking closer they could see that it was the girl named Pan who had pretty much the same sour look on her as Sly did.
"So this is absolutely compulsory?" asked Sly courteously
"Yes, it is compulsory for all new guests such as yourself to be presented formally to the court of advisors" answered Lett
"Really, you have a court of advisors that is very interesting" commented Sly
"Hey sly, do you think they are going to be anything like our court?" asked Jas
"If they are there's going to be a lot of trouble" muttered Sly
"Oh yes, we all know what will happen don't we..." said Jas
"Unfortunately we do" replied Liv and Ally together
By this time they had all arrived at the top of the stairs to the grand ballroom and were ready to be presented to the court advisors. The chief herald stood at the doors and welcomed everyone.
"Welcome Princesses and Ladies you will wait here before you are presented. When I announce you, your escort will lead you first to their majesties and then the advisors from there you will be seated and once everyone has been presented the night will continue" instructed the herald as he turned to present Lady Cream
"Righto" muttered Sly "I am going to be presented at court as a Princess how interesting"
"Sly come on are you saying that you are surprised that this was going to happen" asked Liv "You can't be serious"
"Oh I'm serious alright. The last time this happened was when I was like 5 and that was not the best experience I've ever had"
"Formality is not meant to be fun Sly," stated Liv
"That's why mum and dad stopped with all the royalty crap when they came to so call rule and that's why grandma hates us. Nice family we are aren't we," said Sly
"Her Highness, Princess Jasmine Keira Riana of the Planet Carinaca" announced the herald
"That's me see you guys down there" whispered Jas as she walked out and started down the stairs
"Yeah, I better not be next," mumbled Sly
"Princess Silydia..." started the herald
"Dame it!" muttered Sly as she was walked over to the doors by her escort
When the doors opened the first thing she saw was a crowded ballroom. Gathering up her confidence she started to walk gracefully down the stairs. At the end of the staircase sat the King Vegeta, Queen Bulma, Prince Trunks and Princess Bra. Reaching the end of the walk Sly turned and curtsied then walked elegantly to the side, waiting for the next girl to come in.
"Well that certainly better than I thought it would" said Sly "I mean the last time I went to something like this the people had millions of questions to ask it took forever, but these people didn't ask a single one"
"I think they're saving the interrogation for tomorrow after we've made a fool of ourselves and they know what type of people we truly are," commented Jas
"You know you might have a good point they just want us here to know our darkest secrets," said Ally skeptically
"Ally do you have to be so skeptical about everything. You know not everyone is trying to kill you," replied Sly
"I know that but you know I can't help being suspicious about everyone and everything I don't know, it's a habit"
"Sure is, I can see why people don't always get along with you," laughed Sly
"Very funny. At least I'm not here because I can't stand up to my own grandmother"
"You're grandmother is not some half crazed lunitic when it comes to great grand children, try dealing with that"
"Sly I think what's his name coming this way" whispered Jas
"Who?" replied Sly as she turned around "Oh evening Prince Trunks"
"Very well would you like to dance?" asked Trunks charmingly
"Thank you" answered Sly as they stepped onto the dance floor.
"I think he might just have taken some interest in that Princess he's dancing with over there" said Bulma softly to her husband
"She better be a good fighter. I will not have the heir to my throne mating with some half witted, weak, woman," muttered Vegeta
"Don't worry when I sent out the invitations I made sure that the woman were not weak"
"But that does not mean that they can't lie about it"
"I doubt it. When I read her reply it stated that she is not what she appears to be. So I think that this girl might have a deeper level that our son will just have to discover on his own. She might even do him some good. Her grandmother seemed very sure that her grand daughter will not cooperate and she has done so, so far. I don't see a problem"
"You better keep your word woman"
"I don't see what is so special about that princess anyway, I mean she's not as pretty as any of us. She hasn't got the best choice in friends either" said Marron tartly
"Totally right. If the Prince chooses her to be his bride there will be hell to pay" muttered Princess Isabelle
"I can agree with you on that" said Lady Cream
"What do you think Pan" asked Marron
"I think you should at least talk to her before you judge her" answered Pan
"Marron you should never have asked her, she doesn't know what she's talking about," snorted Princess Isabelle
"At least I'm smart enough to make a worth while opinion," snapped Pan
"Don't you take that tone with me, after all you are only a Lady and not a Princess like us" retorted Princess Isabelle
"Unlike like you, I have a brain"
Hearing that comment Princess Isabelle turned up her nose and said "Let's go girls we don't want to hang around with people like her, why don't you go and play with your trashy friends" as she walked away leaving Pan to stand there alone.
Seeing Pan standing there by herself Jas nudged Ally and pointed to Pan, Ally in turn poked Liv and whispered "Why don't we go and talk to her she looks very lonely"
"Sure thing we can never have enough friends" replied Liv "We can also keep a closer look on Sly and tease her about it later"
"Two birds with one stone eh"
"Absolutely" finished Liv as they all walked over to Pan
"Hi I'm Jas and these are Ally and Liv but you know that already, we thought we might come and say hi" introduced Jas
"Hi I'm Pan," returned Pan
"Did you friends ditch you?" asked Jas
"They're not really my friends but yeah"
"No problem you can stay with us. You know Sly; you may join us in mocking her. She's not a very person who likes this sought of thing so it's a perfect chance to really rub it in her face" joked Ally
Pan laughed and realized that these girls were not what the others thought them to be they were fun. "Sure love to," answered Pan
"So Princess Silydia how are you enjoying your evening" asked Trunks as they danced around the ballroom
"Very well thank you. I don't believe I have ever had the chance to have fun at this kind of event" answered Sly kindly
"Oh, you have not been to many balls"
"I... do you mind if I drop the formal talk its really annoying me"
"Sure I was just thinking the same things"
"Great. No to answer your question I have it's just that most of them are diplomatic balls and they are boring as. The other ones I take no interest in so I don't go"
"How do you get out of them I have the same problem, but for some reason my mother always seems to get me to go no matter what my excuse is"
"I have every many excuse and they all have something to do with diplomatic stuff so my mum just kind of lets it go, plus she's not that interested in the balls and either is the rest of my family. Parties I can deal with but balls boring I'd rather go to war rather than go to a ball"
"You certainly have very interesting alternatives"
"Have to keep my options open and different"
"Unlike you my mother loves balls even if it's just to show of and so she has to drag everyone into it. See my dad doesn't like this any more than I do"
"I can see that, no offence to you but he's not that sour expression all not doesn't his cheek muscles ever get tired"
"Not really, he can keep it up all night and sometimes it gets even worse"
"He sounds just like my brother Zac always with a mocking look, can get really annoying, sometimes you just want to hit and wipe that look off"
"I feel exactly the same about my sister Bra, she does something wrong and I get punished for it"
"Same here, my little sister family's favourite, spoilt brat and can never get in trouble urgh"
"We have a lot more in common than I thought"
"Indeed but than again you don't know me and what the so called 'application' that my grandmother sent in is not exactly correct either so I'm sure there will come a time when all of your family need to more than what's on that sheet of paper. By then you will not think that we have so much in common"
"We'll see about that"
