Chapter One: Angel of the Stars

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Midori, don't you think that the stars are especially beautiful this night?"

"Yes of course. But is it because you are finally going to ORB and you are elated?"

Sixteen-year-old Lacus Clyne roused herself from the rails of the Clyne Manor and flashed her servant her bright, innocent smile. It was true. She was elated as this was her first visit to the wonderful country she had heard so much about. She kept her smile plastered on her ivory face and replied "But it is my first and last visit to anywhere…" her voice trailed off as the beautiful songstress stopped immediately. She didn't want her feelings to affect her only opportunity to escape from her gilded cage before her father trapped her again in the silken bonds of her arranged marriage. She leaned back on the silver coated rails and started to sing her song. "In this quiet night, I'm waiting for you, forgetting the past, and dreaming of you…"

Midori smiled with happiness as her mistress continued her song, her beautiful, lilting voice drifting in the night air.

"Time passes by, and memories fade, but time can't erase the love that we've made…"

Midori cleared her throat and kindly interrupted Lacus's moment in her 'wonderland' and said "If you don't mind, missy, we have to pack as your flight to ORB leaves in the early morning."

"Oh, I am dreadfully sorry… let us make haste, shall we? We have a jet to catch."

The duo made their way towards Lacus's spacious, well-lighted and bright pink chamber. But they were oblivious to a pair of lavender eyes looking on at the scene.

Lacus…
