Nope, sorry, I still don't own Rainbow Brite.but if I did she'd still be on
the air, that's for sure.
A/N from Chapter 1: Krys and Rainbow are actually much older in Earth years then 18, but in the span of their lives, this is about the equivalent. Krys's parents have been gone for over 100 Spectran years.
Chapter 2
Rainbow looked at Krys in disbelief. She hadn't finished processing everything he said and was still trying to figure out which was more shocking; that he was Prince of Spectra, or that he wanted her to be his Princess. She didn't know what to say. Of course she liked Krys, but they had only just met. 'What if he snores?' She thought to herself and then quickly pulled herself out of such irrational thoughts.
Krys looked at her with a sparkle in his eyes she had never seen before. "Rainbow." he gently prodded, unsure of what to do next.
"Krys, I, I, I don't know what to say," She stammered
Suddenly Krys couldn't hold it any longer and tears came to his eyes. "I knew I blew it before, sorry forget I said anything," he said as he got up and ran out of the room, leaving Rainbow still paralyzed with shock. Rainbow flinched a little as the slamming of the door brought her back to reality. 'What just happened here?' is all she could think.
She heard the door slowly push open and Patty came to sit next to her. It was quiet for a few moments. Patty put her arm around Rainbow and she leaned into Patty and started to cry. Patty tried to comfort her, and gently stroked her hair. She wasn't sure what happened, she just saw Krys run from Rainbow's room and had come to find out what happened. She didn't know what to say so she sat and let Rainbow cry.
Finally Rainbow looked up into Patty's shining green eyes and started to explain what happened. "And then he asked me to be his princess, but I couldn't say anything.I just mumbled 'I don't know' and sat there." she finished at the end of the story.
There was concern in Patty's eyes as she started to analyze the situation. "Do you love him, Rainbow?"
"Patty, I don't know. He's wonderful; strong, brave, and not too bad looking either. But love? I've never been in love. And three weeks isn't a whole lot of time to decide." "What does your heart tell you to do?" Patty was good at getting inside of Rainbow's thoughts.
"My heart says this could be a wonderful thing. I mean we were obviously brought together for some reason. And maybe this could be it. But then my head tells me this is crazy, I don't know him that well and I don't know how to be a princess." Rainbow was more confused then ever. "I just have so many doubts and questions."
"I think that the only people who can answer those questions are you and Krys. Go talk to him. Tell him your concerns and doubts, but let him know that you do care for him." Patty was always the one with the level head.
"Thanks, I'll go find him." Rainbow gave Patty a hug and then set out to find Krys.
She first checked his room at the sprite village, but no one there had seen him. Next she headed off towards the Color Cave, thinking someone around there had seen him. She finally found him sitting under a tree by the Rainbow River. 'God he's hot.' she thought to herself as she watched him lay there.
She slowly approached him. He spotted her before she got too close and he stood up and started to walk away.
"Krys!" she yelled to him. He sort of stopped in his tracks but he didn't turn around.
Rainbow walked around in front of him and he just stared at the ground. Not quite sure what to do or say she grabbed his chin and brought his face up to her level and slowly leaned in to kiss him tenderly on the lips. Krys started to pull away, but then he sunk deeper into the kiss, letting her feel all of his emotions rush toward her. Her heart raced as he wrapped his arms around her waist and brought her closer. Finally he pulled away gently, still holding her in his arms.
"Listen Krys," she began softly, "I don't have any answers for you right now, but I do want you to know that I care about you and I want to get to know you better. I'm sorry but that's all I can give you right now."
He took her hands and gently lead her to sit under the tree where he had previously been. "I don't want to rush you into anything, and most importantly, I want you to be happy." He blushed lightly and whispered into her ear, "But it would really be great if you could be happy with me." He kissed her cheek softly.
Rainbow and Krys spent the next few hours sitting at the river talking about everything they could think of. The sky started to darken and Moonglo walked past the two of them. Rainbow spotted her and stood up. "I didn't realize it was getting this late," Rainbow said as Moonglo approached them.
"Yeah, it's time for the stars to sparkle, you two have been out here for hours. Red was going to send a search team soon." Moonglo replied.
"We better head back to the castle." said Rainbow, " Have a nice night Moonglo."
Krys walked Rainbow back to her room. He felt a little silly and awkward as they said goodnight at the door. He kissed her and then quickly walked away smiling, and she watched him leave.
******************************************************************
Krys and Rainbow were walking down the banks of the Rainbow River, hand in hand. She let go briefly to dip her hands in the river, it was hot out and the river was cool. She noticed as she let go that her hand was very pale. When her hand came up from the water, the color had been restored. She found it odd, but figured it had something to do with the weather. The pair sat down under their favorite tree, Rainbow sitting on Krys's lap with his arms around her. They found they didn't even have to talk anymore, but just enjoyed being in each other's company.
Rainbow felt a strange sensation coming over her. She looked down at Krys's embrace to see that this time, not only was her skin paling in color, but so was everything else. The color was draining from her, and quickly.
Krys began an evil laugh, "Soon, I will have all of your color energy and my prism will be unstoppable."
Rainbow began to lose consciousness. The world around her was going black. 'What is Krys doing to her' was her last thought as she slipped into unconsciousness.
Rainbow sat up quickly and screamed. She quickly looked down at herself as Krys, who was downstairs eating breakfast, came flying in the room. It was all a dream. She was ok, well at least physically.
He immediately wrapped her in his arms and began to kiss the top of her head. "It was just a dream," he offered several times. Later that day, Rainbow still couldn't shake the feeling that the dream had given her. She knew it was just a dream, but what was it telling her? She decided to push it out of her mind, for right now. She had a particularly busy day planned, and until she had thought this through, she would keep busy and away from Krys.
Krys say in his room. Lucky sprite was gone for now, so he had some time to think. Krys had many things on his mind as well. One of the reasons for his particularly long stay in Rainbowland was that he had not yet met his parents. He was excited to meet them for the first time, sure, but he was so nervous. The thought of meeting the King and Queen was enough for him to fathom, let alone that they were his parents. What would they think of him? Of Rainbow?
Krys was jolted out of his thinking when Lucky walked through the door. "What's wrong, Krys?"
Krys was one of the few foreigners to Rainbowland that could understand the sprites, although with some difficulty, because Spectran Sprites speak a slightly different dialect. "I don't know Lucky, just thinking"
"Anything you want to talk about?"
"Oh it's just everything, and anything. My parents, Rainbow, hell, even being prince of Spectra is weighing on my mind."
"Orin says, 'A wise person-but Lucky was cut off by a loud noise before he could finish his quote. Something was happening outside. Something big.
