(Disclaimer at Chapter 1)
Angewomon was awake even before she was woken by Gene. She sat in bed thinking and talking to Kari, awoken by the Princess to give her some advice. The sun has not completely risen yet, and her room was dark, except one candle which illuminated them on Angewomon's bed.
"Do all of them know me?" Angewomon asked.
"I think so," Kari murmured, then yawned, stretching out on Angewomon's bed.
"Should I change my name to a more normal name?"
"No."
"Okay then, I am Princess Alexandra."
"What! Princess Angewomon! What's going on with you?"
No answer.
"Oh! Never ever mind! Princess A-L-E-X-A-N-D-R-A!" Kari nearly shouted, pronouncing every syllable clearly at Angewomon.
Gene then burst in carrying a plain pink, sleek gown to wear and some jewelry and shoes that didn't even match. He left Kari to help Angewomon change, then he led the princess into the garden at the front of the castle. A beautifully carved stone wooden gazebo painted white sat in the center of the largest pond, and in it stood Prince Gargomon.
"Prince Gar–" Gene started the introductions, but was cut off.
"Gary." Gargomon said.
"Prince Gary!" Gene yelled, but regained his composure and monotony. "Ahem, Prince Gary, meet Princess–" He was cut off again..
"Alexandra." Angewomon said. Gene raised an eyebrow and looked at both of them.
"Prince Gary of Miracles, meet Princess Alexandra of Light." Gene resumed. Gargomon bowed and Angewomon curtsied.
"Alright. Your first activity is to dance, in the ballroom. I would like to see both of you working together." Gene opened a scroll and pulled out a quill pen. He walked back into the castle with Gargomon and Angewomon following without speaking a word. They reached the large ballroom with an orchestra in one corner already prepared for their arrival. Gene motioned for them to start playing.
"Can you dance?" Angewomon asked the Prince.
"You have no idea how bad I am." Gargomon smiled and held out his hand towards Angewomon in invitation. She took it and both walked towards the middle of the stone floor, where a symbol of light was also painted on.
After an hour of foot stomping, trippingn and laughter from the dancers. Gene called it a day and freed them to do anything they pleased. Gary just entertained Alexandra and enjoyed the rest of the day with her as they sat outside in the garden on the grass, telling jokes and stories. When the day ended, Gary got on his horse and had a last chat with Alexandra.
"Today was a great day, Princess," he bowed to her. "I hope we could do those more often. I was afraid that you wouldn't like me."
"Oh Gary, I really like you as a friend and brother who I can have fun with and depend on!" Angewomon laughed as Gary gave a goofy smile and blushed. "I'm sure we'll be great friends forever." She hugged him and kissed him on the cheek and he mounted his horse.
"Good-bye." Gargomon's horse galloped away and Angewomon grinned remembering their conversations as she walked towards her room. I guess its not as bad as I thought. Angewomon thought. And I thought they'd be spoiled rich brats...
