A The Chrysanthemum Chronicles Series Story

Inside Sylvia's Chambers In The Rainbow Springs Palace

Rainbow Springs, Moon Kingdom, Moon

December 1, 986

At least a week or two later, if not longer than that, after she and other Princesses on the

Rainbow Springs Palace's grounds had trained with each other, Sylvia invited her fellow Princesses

and both cats to a slumber party. Some, if not most, or all, of them hadn't yet ever been to one in their

very own mortal lives in God's very own Universe. Certainly all the Princesses who were also

Gamma-level Scouts hadn't ever been to one before, at the very least, if not also any or all of the other

ones, for all the obvious reasons.

Serena and her twin sisters had each never been to one before. Nor had Raye, Lita, Mina,

Amy, Hannah, Alexis, Michelle, and Susan. And Chloe, Aurora, Bridget, and Beatrice hadn't either.

But Ariel, Deborah, Poruzuka, and Jackie had each been to at least one before, and often with each

other. As others might eventually learn in the future, if they hadn't already learned that about four of

their fellow Princesses in each of their lives.

Sylvia had, in her life, been to at least thirty slumber parties with other young girls from the

Jerusalem area. But this would be the first one that she'd ever be at on either side of the Moon. And

this would be the first of at least several other slumber parties that she'd hope to host whenever she

was on the Moon for any reason whatsoever. If not the only one that she'd be hoping to host whenever

she was anywhere on the Moon.

After one particularly intense evening training session of hers with Neptune Gamma and other

scouts on Neptune Alpha's team of Scouts, and after the subsequent evening meal, she then soon let

all the other Princesses and both cats into her chambers so that she could host a slumber party with

them there. Fortunately, her chambers were also large enough to make it possible for her guests to

sleep in them, if they really wanted to, during that very same slumber party.

Eventually, once she had accounted for all the Princesses and both cats that'd come to her

chambers for that slumber party, she then had them all take up seats in it. And do that here so that

they could then have their slumber party. Of course, she'd made sure that Destiny wouldn't

unnecessarily bump into or trip over anything too large anywhere in her chambers before the party

was even due to start. This, of course, was for all the obvious reasons.

Eventually, then, everyone had taken seats somewhere in her chambers, even if they had to

sit on the floor to do so. And when they had all settled down enough to suit her sufficiently well, she

then said, "I'm now going to start a story, and I'll want someone to write it down, if they can. At least

one other person will have to sign it to Bethany while we do this story, for the obvious reasons. So

that's why I have so many lights burning in my chambers now."

She had at least twenty lights burning in her chambers, if not more. And it was now rather

bright in her chambers, because of that fact. She then continued, as she looked around her chambers

at all her current companions, "When I want any of you to add to the story, I'll tell you. Whenever one

of us is telling part of the story, everyone else is to remain as quiet as possible, and as still as possible,

so that Bethany and Destiny can best comprehend the story with a minimum of confusion. This, of

course, is for all the obvious reasons. I may walk around my chambers, at least as I tell my part of

the story. When I decide to pass the story along to someone else, I'll then tap them on their right

shoulder. Then I'll have them rise, unless, of course, they're Destiny or Bethany, and they'll need to

continue the story from where I left off. When they rise, if needed, I'll sit down in their place. The

current storyteller or tellers will be able to walk around my chambers, if they so choose, unless their

current situation doesn't permit it, of course. When they choose to pass along the story to someone

else, then they are to tap the necessary person or cat on their right shoulders, and sit down in their

spots, if at all possible."

"Understood," all her guests soon said, of course. Even Bethany and Destiny did so. Even

though they likely had to go through at least one interpreter, for the obvious reasons, of course. And

then Sylvia stopped about two feet from where Amy, Raye, Lita, Mina, and Serena were sitting on

her bed in her chambers. She looked at all five of them, and then at the rest of their current

companions in her chambers.

Then she said, "I think it's time I begin this story. But first, I need a volunteer to copy it down

in at least one scroll as it gets told by me and anyone else who wants to tell part of it."

Amy volunteered almost immediately for that task. And she'd continue to do it at least until

it came time for her to tell part of the story, if she really wanted to tell at least part of it. This story

would probably be at least the first of many, if things went well enough for all the Princesses and both

cats. At least for a certain yet-unknown length of time, if not forever. Of course, when things started

really heating up, in a manner of speaking, for them all, they all might not be able to have any more

slumber parties with each other. Or at least not for a very long time, if they all someday ever met each

other again at least once more anytime in the future. However near or distant that future might be for

them all, in fact. She then received an empty scroll from Sylvia's own store of such scrolls. And shed

prepared to copy all the words of that story down, for all the obvious reasons. At least until it was

time for her to tell part of it, if she ever wanted to tell part of it at all to any or all of her current

companions in Sylvia's own Rainbow Springs Palace chambers.

When Sylvia was absolutely sure that Amy was then ready to begin copying down the

beginning of the story now in question, she wasted no further time in delaying the beginning of that

story. She then said, "Once upon a time, in what I believe you'd refer to as the days of Queen Abigail

I, on a world much like that of Earth, there was a young girl named Sirashiki, and she came from the

land of Yalisomia on that world. She was the first of many to explore other nearby worlds in her own

Galaxy, which was the Nujara Galaxy. If not also any other worlds in other galaxies besides her own.

The Nujara Galaxy was a galaxy much like that of the Milky Way Galaxy. But it was also rather

elliptical in nature. And it had eighteen barred arms on it scattered rather randomly on its immense

innermost surface area. If not also within it."

She continued adding to the story for at least one hour. Then she passed the story along to

Raye. Raye continued the story from the exact place where Sylvia left off. And then she added to it

for at least another thirty or so minutes, before passing it off to Serena.

Serena took the story and ran with it, in a manner of speaking, for at least forty or so minutes,

before eventually passing it off to her sisters. While Destiny spoke, Serena translated for Bethany,

and while Bethany signed, Serena translated for Destiny, of course. Amy was still writing down the

story, wondering when she'd be passed it by someone else. When Bethany and Destiny got tired of

adding to the story, Bethany then rose up with Destiny, and led her to Amy, as she headed that

direction herself too. Then they both touched Amy's right shoulder, with Destiny doing it first, and

Bethany doing it second, due to the fact that Destiny was older than Bethany, of course. After they

did that, Amy then passed the detail of recording the story off to Raye, who'd earlier sat down in

Serena's spot in Sylvia's chambers, of course.

Amy then added to the story for at least another hour, until Sylvia decided that they should call

at least a temporary end to the storytelling in her chambers. And she did that so that they could all

get enough sleep before they had to train together again elsewhere on the grounds of the Rainbow

Springs Palace. She had Raye mark the scroll in the necessary place, and make a removable mark

to let everyone know that it was still Amy's turn to add to the story, if she'd want to continue telling

it the first chance she got to resume telling it to all of her current companions in Sylvia's own

chambers. Raye did as Sylvia told her to do in that regard. And after doing so, Sylvia then allowed

her guests to retire to their sleeping bags in her chambers, if they really wanted to, for all the obvious

reasons, of course. And all of her guests soon did so, just before she did the same as well. All of

them were eventually asleep not long after Sylvia had called at least a temporary end to the

storytelling in her chambers, if not a permanent end to it, as it related at least partly, if not totally, to

the story currently in question there.

In the next chapter for this story, Lita will get pleasantly surprised around and on her next

birthday. How so? You'll have to read to find out, readers! I really do hope that you all have enjoyed

the first two stories in this particular story series, and the first sixteen chapters of this third story, if

you've actually gotten this far. And that you'll all continue to read its related story series, of course,

once I put even more of it up here. The other chapters of this third story in the series will be up

shortly, if at all possible, readers, for your information. I really don't know yet just how long it'll still

take me to get each story in this series up fully here. But it might take a while for each story in this

series, just the same, readers. Until later, then, this is "The Universal Storyteller" signing off here.

Happy reading, and God bless, and all that, of course, readers! Over and out!
