Hi, I'm back again. I try to post a chapter every few days so I can keep a writing rhythm, but sometimes I will take longer or shorter. You get the general idea.
Disclaimers: You know now that I think about it, I did own them. And I still do. They're all mine! All mine! *Snaps out of daydream* Heh, oops. Just kidding, I don't own them. Not even a little bit. I just own Adriana, and Angel. And I said I would introduce Tania in the last chapter and I didn't. It was an accident. She's introduced in this chapter. This time I'm serious.
Please, please, keep up the reviews. They're really helpful and great to read. Please keep them up. I once again would like to thank Mama-sama, Silver Wing, Dulce Ambrosia, Poetina, Dan Inverse, Ashy, Relena Peace, Nikouru Nagasawa, her muse Mooky-Chan, Lit Tenshi and Ley for the reviews. Please keep them up. (I forgot who were the new reviewers for chapter 2 so I rewrote everyone. I'll pay attention after this chapter.)
And now...
Oh, wait. Silly me. I also want to thank Cinpii for her nice, long review. I reviewed your story, but had no idea you would read and review mine. Thank you so much. All the advice you gave me is helping me a lot. Tell me if this chapter's better, okay?
And now...(For real this time)
Chapter 3
Simply titled: We're what?
"..." Mean someone's speaking
'...' Mean someone's thinking.
AN: Author's note
Night had now turned into day as they rode off, the girls not knowing their destination. At last, just as the afternoon arrives, the carriages stop, and when the girls step out to see their new home, they're taken completely by surprise to see a large castle in front of them. The young man comes up to them, smirking at their surprised looks. "Yes, this is our destination." He says, turning their attention back to him. "Follow me." They follow him until they get to a large, metal gate, and see a young woman with the same color of hair and eyes as the young man. He nods to her and she begins to open the gate, as he turns to face the girls again. "Sorry for not introducing myself earlier. My name is Heero." (AN: Who knew? Come on, who knew? Or was this a big surprise? Anyway...) "And this is my sister Tania." Tania nods at them, and then speaks up.
"I'm going to take you to meet Lady Noin. She will tell you everything you want to know." She explains, seeing the girls' confused looks. "Follow me please." She says, as the girls start to follow her, giving a quick glance back at her brother, only to see him gone. 'Mysterious as ever. Well, I have a job to do and do it I will.' She thinks, as she leads them inside the castle, casting a look at them every once in a while, and enjoying their awed looks at the largely decorated castle. 'Get used to it. You're going to be here for a long time hopefully.'
A few minutes later...
"This is where you'll meet Lady Noin, and then you'll be shown to your rooms and prepared for tonight."
"What's tonight?" Relena asks. Tania smirks at them, and then speaks up.
"You'll see." And with that she walks off. The girls step into the room, and see a woman with short raven colored hair, dressed in a flowing deep blue dress that shows off her deep blue eyes. (AN: You know those dresses in the old times that had sleeves and were made of a fine material, really soft? And at the bottom of it is a triangle of white with the dress' color surrounding it? If you don't, tell me and I'll try to describe it better.) She rises from her chair and comes over to them, with the girls slowly bowing down to her.
"No, don't bow please." They stand back up, looking at her confused. "You don't need to bow. I know your accustomed to it, but you don't need to. Not anymore. At least not so low and to me."
"I'm afraid we don't understand." Relena says, and Noin turns her full attention to her.
'This is her. The last time I saw her she was just a little baby. And now she's so different. I wish Milliardo didn't have to leave on that trip this morning. He would have loved to see her again.' Relena suddenly starts to feel uncomfortable under Noin's gaze, and Noin quickly looks away from her, and speaks up again, addressing all the girls. "In a minute you're going to be shown to you rooms where you will clean up, be fitted, and will be prepared for a small ball tonight. Hopefully all your questions and reason as to why you're here will be told."
"We can't ask you?" Hilde asks.
"Yes, but it'll much better if you learn tonight. Now go and get ready." The girls nod their heads, and walk off.
A few hours later...
"Is this okay?" Relena looks at her reflection in the mirror. She's wearing a light blue flowing dress as well, and her hair is pinned up with a few tendrils of her hair down, framing her face.
"Wow." She whispers in awe.
"I take that as a yes miss?" The serving maid asks, grinning.
"Uh, yes. Most definitely yes." She looks at herself in the mirror again, and then smiles. "Most definitely yes." She repeats, twirling once.
Meanwhile...
"There, it looks about right. You can look at yourself now." Hilde slowly turns around, to see herself in the mirror. She's wearing a light violet flowing dress and her short hair is combed on her head in a completely different matter then she had it. "Is it to your liking miss?"
"Oh, of course it is. Thank you so much."
"It's what I do miss."
"Well then, you do it very well."
"Thank you miss."
Meanwhile...
"And that is the finishing touch." Angel turns to look at herself in the mirror, and sees herself in a light green flowing dress. She has light sky blue and her short, shoulder length light red hair is pulled back in a ponytail.
"I look so different."
"I'm glad you think so. So this is okay?"
"Yes, it is. I appreciate everything."
"It was no problem miss. I'm just glad to help."
"And I'm glad you helped."
Meanwhile...
"Do you think this is alright miss?" Jennifer turns to look at the mirror. She's wearing a light red flowing dress. She has light brown eyes, and her dark (Light color when in the sun or light) black-brown hair is pulled back in a bun, a few tendrils also down, her curly bangs also framing her face.
"Oh, this is so great. Except wearing this dress makes me feel unusual."
"Why miss?"
"Because, besides the robes we had to wear, I haven't worn a dress in years."
"Oh, I see. But you like how you look now. No problems."
"Oh no, this is fine."
"Good then."
A few minutes later...
The girls wait behind a large red curtain, as Noin enters the ballroom to introduce them. "Welcome everyone. Tonight you are here to witness an event that we were beginning to lose hope in. But our hope has been restored. I now present to you the lost princess and Ladies of this Court."
"What?" All the girls ask shocked.
*Pum, pum, pum* Just kidding. Well, was this chapter better? Huh? This took me a little longer to post, but I had reasons. *Party!* No, that wasn't it. *Fun!* No, not that either. *Speechless* Never mind. I'll try to keep a writing rhythm like I said earlier as much as I can. Any errors found in this story I apologize for. Please, please review. No flames, but do review. It takes maybe a minute to review. Depending on how long it is that is. Oh well. I'll have the next chapter soon. Was this too big a cliffhanger? Just curious to know. Later everyone, until the next chapter. Oh, one more thing. I was thinking of posting a Card Captors story. What do you think? Good idea or what? Please tell me. And don't do it in a horrible way either. Just a quick yes or no and why. Thank you again.
Hehe, oops, that was long.
