Romeo and Juliet

Chapter 5

Later the next day, we were meeting with the Prince of Xerion, and his parents. Me, I was nervous and heartbroken. It seemed as if I were to never see my prince again. Last night, oh last night. How I was swept off my feet by the music and his face, the face of mere perfection. I walked back up the stairs to brush my teeth again. Every step along the way felt too short this time, because every step I thought of Prince Heero.

I reached my chambers and brushed my teeth. Yet again I looked in the mirror, and saw him! Standing behind me smirking. He walked towards me and I turned around swiftly. Nobody was there, just the memory of the image that had just appeared before me. I sighed... Would I meet my prince ever again? But he told me to watch for the shooting star, and that he would be riding it. I hadn't seen a shooting star, nor him riding anything. I sighed yet again, and walked downstairs. My mother was there, waiting for me to get ready.

I went over to her. "I'm ready mother." I said properly.

She just smiled at me and led me toward the first floor balcony where Prince Heero and me had first met. Out there, I saw the King and Queen of Xerion, and of course, the Prince. I bowed and took a seat across from them. Waiting for them to say the first word, I looked up at them.

"Well, how are you today dear Princess?" Queen Xerion asked

"I am fine, but I could not be any finer than that of your radiant glow." I said politely.

"I think that you are anything but fine, for a true heart of any splendor would notice from the farthest corner of the universe." Prince Xerion stated.

Our parents began talking about the wedding, meaningless. I would not marry him nor any man that was as proper or upstanding. I wanted Prince Heero, and I felt like screaming it too. It wasn't fair that they met Prince Xerion and his family first. I mean, what would I do with a Prince like him? I'm sure my mother knew deep down that I truly had no desire to say I do to him. My mother caught me dreaming away in thought, and bit her lower lip. She always did that when she was wondering about something, and sometimes I thought she had to power to seek knowledge through anyone's precious mind. But, she noticed how deep in thought I was, and she decided to bring me back home. Just when I wasn't ready too.

"Dear, what do you think of it?" My mother asked me.

"I think it is perfect." I smiled, still not paying attention.

"You think what is perfect? I was asking you what you wanted to serve to our guests on your wedding day." My mother explained.

"Oh.. Then I propose the chef's specialty." I said.

"That would be wonderful, and we could also have a three-course meal on the side." Queen Xerion implied.

There they go again, and Prince Xerion seemed so bored. Even his father, which he didn't listen or talk much anyway. The whole family sitting there, as the precious moments of the day flew by. I managed to get in some words, but I wish I could make a secret trip. I was going to stay up late tonight, and see if I could make a escape to a new world. The planet of my prince, which was thousands of miles away, but it would be worth it to see my true love once again. And maybe, just maybe, will we enjoy the pleasures of the night together.

After the meeting, we all departed and went our separate ways. Me, I went to my room to get some sleep, so that way, I would be ready to stay awake for my long journey through space. I was nervous as I climbed the stairs and walked into my room. But I sat on the bed for a few minutes, thinking about a plan to escape, then decided to get into my nightgown. I slid off my robes, and slid into my nightgown. I was smooth and soft, and showed my enitre body through the sunlight. I got into bed, pulled the covers up to my lips, and fell to sleep......

Sorry for the short chapter, but I hoped you enjoyed it! I should have the next chapter in a couple of days after some revisions. Hope you like it and review asap!
