Me: Hello! I'm back with the Eclair side!

Erk: 2 reviews so far… Told you it sucked.

Lucius: Be nice Erky! Or she'll stop writing!

Erk: Oh Boo-hoo! (Sarcastically)

Me: Anyway, this is the Eclair side. Enjoy!

Ch. 2 "Just obey"

One morning little Eclair jumped out of bed. It was a bright and sunny day, and she was ready to play, but as always her mother had to take her training today. She had remembered her mother's first sayings, "First responsibility, become princess, then the second will come". Eclair didn't always know what her mother meant and well… this was one of them.

She quickly got dressed in her normal clothes and went downstairs for breakfast.

"Hello Eclair." Her mother smiled. She was always on top of her duties during the day and all. She must've been excited that she now had the opportunity to teach Eclair some things about being a regular princess.

She wasn't even thirteen yet, but her mother said that she must learn how to handle things early.

"Don't you think she's a little young?" The butler asked Queen Crepine, "I can't imagine a little thing like her to start this early."

"Oh, please," her mother would always reply, "She's almost ten, she can do this already. Today we have a performance here at the castle by the children at the church. Eclair will know exactly what to say if I taught her correctly."

The butler bowed and took his leave. He was always fussing about Eclair not being able to do her job.

At the performance, Crepine let her daughter walk around the castle. She didn't like sitting through all of the other things before the performance. She didn't get it anyway. You don't really suspect a little nine-year-old to know those things like, "We gather here today for a special performance here at Cresson castle! We would like to thank the Queen herself for this…" Blah-Blah-Blah… That was all Eclair could think out of it right now. But she knew that when she grew older, she'd have to listen to that stuff and use it to her advantage.

Eclair walked down the big hallway where lots of people enter the showroom. She knew that it was almost time for the performance and that her mother would be frustrated if she wasn't there.

On the way, she saw an older girl and a younger boy. The girl was probably around three years older, and the boy… probably two years younger. She couldn't tell.

"One, two, three, and one two, three…" The girl was practicing with her baton.

The little boy was jumping up and down. "Prier! Hurry! It's going to start soon!"

"I know! I know! Just a little longer! One, two, three, one, two, three! Precision…2, 3… Is very important…2, 3… For this kind of thing… 2, 3… If I'm going to become…2, 3 The Maiden of Light…2, 3… It's gotta be perfect…2, 3!"

Eclair watched as she spun her baton around and the little boy jumping up and down. Why were they here? What was going on? Soon enough, the little boy saw Eclair, and gasped. The girl turned around too. Eclair took a deep breathe and walked up to them both.

"Uh… Who are you?" The girl asked.

"E-Eclair……" her face turned red.

"What are you doing here? Ordinary people aren't supposed to be here... You know?" The girl had a puzzled look.

"But... This is my house..." Eclair said a bit offended.

"Wha-? Your house?" The girl looked at her, surprised.

The boy stepped up. "Prier, you don't think that that's the Queen's daughter... Do you? I think her name might have been Eclair..."

"Oh," the girl nodded. Then she turned to Eclair. "Hey, would you like to be friends?"

Eclair was so surprised! Nobody has ever asked to be their friend. Everyone was always so scared to play with her because her mom was the Queen. If they made her cry or anything they would be in huge trouble.

"Really?" Eclair asked making sure that they weren't bluffing.

The girl smiled. "Sure. But, you have to call me 'Be sister', ok?"

Culotte made a face. "Oh boy..." He sighed.

"Why?" Eclair asked.

"Because I'm older than you. That's why."

Eclair smiled. "O-Ok, Big Sister."

"Great! So we're friends now!"

All of a sudden Eclair realized that she was going to be late for the performance! It was a good thing that Big Sister and the boy, Culotte, were late too!!

"I gotta go!" they all said at once and ran into the show room.

"And here is my daughter, Princess Eclair!" Her mother just finished.

Eclair walked on stage just as her mother finished.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I would like to thank you for coming to our castle to see the Church of the Holy Maiden perform. And we would like to thank them for coming to perform here, so please enjoy the performance." Eclair smiled as she saw Big Sister and Culotte on the other side giving her a thumbs-up. Then she walked off the stage to watch the performance.

Prier and Culotte are amazing! Eclair thought. She wanted to play with them.

Soon, the performance ended, and Eclair was happy that she had new friends to play with. She ran backstage to see them. "Big Sister!" she called.

"Oh hey, Eclair," Prier looked very happy. "Your mom is going to let the performers stay for a special dinner!"

Eclair was excited. She had friends and best of all they were going to play with her all day!

"Let's go play!" Prier exclaimed, Culotte right behind her.

None of them were aware that Queen Crepine was listening..."I'll give her a break today." She smiled.

Me: Well I finally finished.

Erk: And you still have 2 reviews. Haha

Lucius: Nobody is in the mood to read right now.

Me: Welllllll I guess I'll go with that Homard is up next!
