The Silver world

Chapter 2 Getting ready

"Just go to the seamstress," Van said simply waving his hand in a non-shalaunt manner.

"Okay, I'll go there but you can't come with me," Hitomi smiled cheekily at this.

"Why?" Van asked looking confused, his eyebrows knit together.

"I want it to be a surprise when you get to see me," she giggled as she walked off in the direction Van pointed out to her.

"Fine," Van said sighing as he walked away.

At the seamstress

"Hello young lady what can I do for you?" The seamstress asked with a smile.

"I need a dress for the ball," Hitomi said simply.

"Come over here and I'll take your measurements," she had a warm soothing aura about her. Hitomi walked over and stepped up on the stool. The seamstress took her measurements carefully and precicely. After that the seamstress said "My name's Linray. What is your name? If you don't mind me asking," Linray said while bringing out fabrics to show Hitomi.

"I don't mind you asking, my name's Hitomi. It's nice to meet you Linray," Hitomi said a smile crossing her lips.

"Nice to meet you too Hitomi. Do you like midnight blue or forest green better with silver trim?" Linray said holding up the two different fabrics for Hitomi to see.

"I actually like midnight blue better but if you have any fabrics with both of them mixed together that would be great," Hitomi said.

"I do have one special fabric that I like to call the forest at midnight. Would you like to see it?" Linray said.

"Yes I would please," Hitomi said. Linray brought it out and showed her. "It's lovely. Can you please make my dress out of it?" Hitomi almost begged.

"Of course. Do you have some one you want to impress?" She asked.

Hitomi blushed a deep red and said "Yes there is some one."

"Oh then I'll make it an off the shoulder neckline that shows a fair bit but not too much of clevage," Linray said smiling at how deep red she got in only seconds.

"Okay but make sure it's not too much," Hitomi said while her blush deepened.

When Linray is done

"Oh it's beautiful, Linray," Hitomi said beaming. "Thank you so much!"

"You're welcome and it looks stunning on you," Linray said as she smiled back. Hitomi walked away carrying the beautiful dress in her arms.

When Hitomi gets back to the castle

Someone announced "The princess of Austuia princess Millerna and Duke Chid of Freid. Accompanied by sir Allen heavenly knight of Calie and the crusade crew have arrived."

"Allen, Millerna, Chid it's so good to see you all," Hitomi said smiling as she came into the hall.

"Hitomi!" all of them said smiling happy to see an old friend. Van came in after Hitomi and went to greet Allen and Chid.

"How are you Millerna?" Hitomi asked.

"I'm great. How are you?" Millerna said.

"I'm great also," Hitomi was smiling brightly.

"What have you been up to with Van?" Millerna asked slyly.

Hitomi blushed a very deep red and said "Not much just one long kiss that's all."

"Oh so you guys finally kissed did you?" she asked, her face melding into a cheeky grin.

"Yes," Hitomi said still blushing a deep red.

Van walks over to Hitomi and Millerna. "So what are you girls talking about?" he asked.

"Oh not much. All we were talking about was that you and Hitomi have kissed," Millerna giggled when she saw Van blush a deep red along with Hitomi.

"So they have finally kissed," Allen says. He had been listening to their conversation. Chid got led by a servant to his room.

"Kiss, kiss, kiss, kiss," Allen and Millerna chanted together.

"Why should we?" Hitomi asked defensively.

"Well we don't really believe you, so kiss," said Millerna.

"Fine," said Van. Van captured Hitomi's lips with his in a very drawn out kiss. When the kiss ended both Hitomi and Van had a dazed look in their eyes. Hitomi broke out of the trance first.

"There are you happy now?" Hitomi asked Millerna and Allen as Van got back his senses. With a sigh he was back to normal though still slightly flushed.

Allan and Millerna looked at each other for a moment before replying in unison. "Yep!"
