"Why thank you Chester. And thank you for the nice dress", Neon said as she twirl around. When she was done twirling around he took one of her hand as if asking her to dance with him. She paused and looks at him. He's like a Prince that she had never seen before. Although she knows the Prince name is Kurapika, which she facing right now, she still haven't seen him. But how come right now she's looking at him other way around? More mature and handsome perhaps? "Chester..."
"What do you want to do?" Kurapika asked, feeling his face flushed with embarrassment.
"I-I don't know", she said now also flushing.
"Do you want to dance?"
"Y-You're kidding. There's no music", she added. Too late though because Kurapika just put his other hand around to her waist and his other hand has already positioned in a dancing style. He began to sway her and he doesn't care if there's no music. "O-Okay so you we're serious?"
"Who says I'm kidding anyway?" he asked back, his voice deep and low. Neon just gave a slight laughed and her face turned crimson. He twirled her around and when she was facing him again he pulled her closer. "Happy birthday again. I need to go so see you around". He kissed her forehead and slowly went away.
"Take care...Chester", was all Neon can say as she saw his figure disappeared in the darkness.
Another morning as Neon woke up and prepares everything. She had done preparing the breakfast and now she was sweeping the backyard. She couldn't easily forget what happened last night. It's not easy for her for what Kurapika did. She never felt this way before especially to a boy. But her step mom had interrupted her thoughts. "Neon have you prepared the food inside the basket?" When her step mom asked this she had let go of the broom.
"I...forgot".
"Clumsy little fool! Get back there cause any minute now we're leaving!" her step mom scolded.
"Y-Yes stepmother", Neon replied, didn't care to put the broom in its proper place as she went inside in the kitchen.
"At last we're going out today right Kurapika?" Leorio said, happily coz' they're going to the same place in the forest.
"Yup! This will be fun!" Kurapika exclaimed. As they went to where his Mom and Dad are waiting they we're shocked to see a visitor.
"Oh dear before you leave may we introduce Benjamin's daughter to you?" Elizabeth, Kurapika's Mom began.
"H-Huh?"
"This is Denise by the way. The daughter of our close friend your Uncle Benjamin. You don't mind if she tags along?" Alban, Kurapika's Dad asked.
"She's beautiful!" Leorio said. Kurapika step on his foot. "Ouch!"
"But Mom, Dad..."
"Come on dear spend a time with her. She will be your wife someday", his Mom added.
"WHAT?!" Kurapika wanted to die right then and there.
"So Kurapika take good care of her okay?" his Dad said.
"Have a good time with my daughter you're Highness", Benjamin said.
"Fine, fine. Let's go!" Kurapika began.
"Yey! Thank you your Highness!" Denise said as she ran towards him.
'Ugh! This is not my day'.
As Neon was inside the carriage she couldn't help but feel happy watching the beautiful nature around her. But they stopped to where they usually hang out in the forest. "Neon make sure you put the cloth properly on the ground", Alberta reminded.
"Yes stepmother", Neon replied as she went to the grassy area where they usually stay.
"This is a nice day indeed! But it will be nicer if we see the Prince somewhere!" Bernadette exclaimed.
"Your right sister! I wish the Prince is here!" Catherine agreed.
"Why won't you two look around later after eating your lunch to look at the Prince if you get a glimpse of him?" their Mom suggested as she sat on the cloth where Neon prepared.
"That's a great idea!" the sisters said as they hold hands.
'The Prince...I want to see him too. But I think I can't of all this chores', Neon thought as she prepares their food.
"Now that food was so delicious!" Leorio said as he sat down on the cloth. Kurapika stood up.
"Want to go hunting?" Leorio waved his hand like he should go alone.
"I just finished eating. Maybe later".
"Can I come with you your Highness?" Denise began. Kurapika's facial expression changed. And Leorio tried his best not to laugh.
"You can't Denise it may be dangerous", Kurapika replied.
"But you'll be there to protect me right?" she said flirtatiously.
"N-Not at all times I guess. Later", with that he went away. Leorio laughed so hard that Denise snob at him.
"At last we finish eating! Now let's go and look for the Prince!" Bernadette said.
"If and only Neon's with you", Alberta interrupted.
"WHAT?!" the two sisters said, shocked.
"But Mom why?! Why does that girl had to go with us?!" Catherine said.
"So that she may look up for the both of you. Now tell me if both of you we're in danger who is going to tell me what happened to the both of you huh?" their Mom shot back. "It's either she'll go with you or both of you stay". The two sisters sighed.
"She'll go". Neon smiled happily.
"Be back after an hour. We'll leave after that", their Mom added.
"Okay", the three replied as they left.
"Finally Leorio you agreed to come with me", Kurapika said as they were bringing their guns.
"I don't want to be left alone with Denise. She's VERY annoying!" Leorio said. Kurapika laughed. "Tell me what do you like in a girl anyway?"
"What I like in a girl...let's see...she's just simple, kind, fun to talk with and somehow not flirtatious like other girls are when they see me", the blonde Prince replied. But somehow only one person who he thought with this kind of traits...Neon. He can't erase in his mind what happened last night. It was romantic for him.
"A girl like that is hard to find but with those kind of traits she may be beautiful", Leorio added.
'For me she is beautiful', Kurapika thought imagining when she wore the dress that he gave to her.
"Anyway where have you been yesterday?" his best friend asked.
"I went to see Neon. Remember that girl I always talk about to you?" Leorio scratch his head.
"Oh her...I wanted to see her. For why she captured your heart immediately", Leorio teased.
"Shut up!" Kurapika replied, cheeks flushed.
"If I'm not wrong that traits you said a while ago is Neon's traits right?"
"N-No of course not! I'm not close friends with her yet!" his best friend laughed seeing the reaction of the Prince. "Stop teasing Leorio!"
"Right, right", was all Leorio can say to stop giggling.
Neon together with her stepsisters went into a beautiful field with a small river in the middle of it. Weird but beautiful with flowers all around. "If only the Prince was here I won't be bored talking to him", Bernadette said, daydreaming while sitting on the soft grass.
"Me too sister", Catherine interrupted lying down on the grass. "I wanted to be the Prince's wife".
"Maybe sister but his wife will nobody else but me", her elder sister said.
"In your dreams!" Neon sighed as she looked at the clouds above. The Prince...every girl wants him to be their lover. But Neon could never imagine herself like any other girls. She lies down on the grass and thought of it.
'Just like any other girl I want to be the Prince's maiden. But...it's impossible coz' I'm just a maid...or is it?' While the three we're busy with their thoughts Kurapika and Leorio also went to where they are.
"Kurapika I saw something moving from there", Leorio whispered.
