"Usagi you have to get ready."  Usagi sat in the middle of the room exercising some of her powers.  "And put that vase, chair and table back down."

"I was just having some fun Luna before I have to get in a dress and have another boring night at another boring ball."  Usagi carefully placed all the items back where they were and flopped down on her bed next to her cat.  "Why do I have to go, can't you tell my dad I'm sick or something."

"Usagi I won't hear anymore of this.  This ball is for you and your father.  You are expected to be there and I'll be damned if your not."  Usagi picks up a pillow and throws it at her, hitting her right in the head.  "I do not have to put up with this I'm leaving and if your father ask me where you are, I'll tell him your hiding in your room.  And I hope that he'll come up here and teach you some manners.  Your mother was not like this."

Usagi jumped off the bed, "I told you never to mention her again, she didn't want me, she means nothing to me."  Usagi throws up her hand and Luna is lifted in the air.  "I should just throw you out that window right now, but I love you to much and, not to mention, my dad would kill me."  There was a knock on the door and Usagi put Luna down and jerks the door open, "What!"

A servant stood in the hall in head hung down, "I'm sorry miss but I have a message from your father."

"Continue"

"You are to attend the ball tonight with the prince, no exceptions of any kind."

"Is that all?"

"Yes."

"Thank you and I'm sorry for yelling at you."

"That's ok at least you took it better than the prince."

Usagi leaned against the door frame, "Really and tell me how did he take it."

The servant looked around nervous not sure if her should tell or not, "not very well and that's all I'll say.  Have a nice night miss."  The servant turns around and walks down the hall.  When he turns the corner he whispers something to himself and white light covers him.  When the light fades where the servant once stood now stands Merlin.  "Well she took that well. A little to well."

Usagi slams the door turns around to look at Luna and screams.  "I can't believe he would do this to me."

"Usagi calm down, we need to figure out what you're going to do."

"I'll tell you what I'm going to do," Usagi smiles wickedly.  "Oh yeah I know exactly what to do."

"Usagi, don't do anything foolish, there are certain things that you don't know."

Usagi walks to her closet, opens the door, and walks inside,  "Like what Luna?"

"This ball is not just for pleasure but we hope to bait the leader of the revolt in here."

Usagi walks out with her arms full of dresses, "Luna which one would look the best on me."

"Did you hear a single word I said?"

"I'm going to make him fall for me so hard that every time he breathes he wonders what I'm doing."

"I thought you didn't care for him."

"I don't, when he tells me he loves me I'll laugh in his face and leave him all alone."

"Usagi you don't know what your doing, in order to win this war you and the prince must be…"

"Must be what Luna?  What are you keeping from me?"

"You can not be fighting, you have to work together."  Usagi tries on a dress and turns around to Luna who shakes her head, she proceeds to try on another.  "Are you listening to me?"

"Yeah, yeah no fighting all that good stuff, I think this one, what do you think."

Luna hangs her head down and sighs, "I think you'll in for one big surprise tonight.

"Everything will be fine Luna you'll see."
