The Story of A Ball

Chapter Five: Of Jokes and Laughter

"Well," smirked Lark "what do we have here?"

"Hm?" was the dazed Daja's response. She shook her head trying to clear her thoughts of a certain blond haired gentleman. "What was that you said Lark?"

"Nevermind," Lark chuckled. "Come inside and have a cup of tea Daja."

"So," stated Rosethorn "enjoy your first kiss?"

"What?!?" exclaimed Daja. "You guys were watching!?"

"Well I wouldn't say watching…we were more overseeing. You know, fulfilling our job as guardians. It's our duty to nose into your buisiness!" Lark said while trying not to giggle.

"Hmph!" was Daja's response while crossing her arms over her chest.

"Come on," said Rosethorn. "You don't want to be mad at us; you have to spend all day with us shopping tomorrow for your dress. Hmmm I wonder what color Kirel will wear so you can match…" she said thoughtfully while trying to hide a smile.
"Alright, alright. I get the point can we stop it with the Kirel jokes please? And in response to that question I was thinking something blue because it looks good on me and it would go nice in contrast to Kirel's blue eyes too…." she trailed of mumbling the last part of that sentence as Lark burst out into laughter.
"Aw, honey I'm sorry. I'm not trying to make fun of you, I just have never heard you talk about a boy like that!" apologized Lark. "Well off to bed with you…you've had a busy night." At this point Lark and Rosethorn could control their laughter no more and burst into peals of laughter. Daja annoyed with the both of them stomped up to her room and flopped onto her bed.

'They don't have to act so childish' She thought. 'I mean it was just a kiss…it was a good kiss though…' And as Daja relived that night's events she drifted off into a peaceful sleep filled with dreams of a comforting hand in hers and tender lips on her own.

A/N: First of all…I'M SO SO SO SORRY I HAVN'T UPDATED! I have a good excuse though…my house got struck by lighting and it blew my computer out and it took like all summer for it to get fixed. And now even though it's "fixed" it doesn't work very well at all….it keeps signing me offline and such…anyway anyone who still remembers what happened in the rest of the story after such a long break thank you for sticking with the story and reading this chapter (if any did!)
