Chapter 9: Happily Ever After

Season: Go! Princess Precure

Pairing: Haruka x Kanata

Summary: How can the happily ever after of the Princess of Flowers not include this?


Bold: emphasize

CAP LOCK: SHOUT


Haruka: EEEEEEHHHHH?! A ball? Really?!

Kanata: Yes, Hope Kingdom always hold a promenade to celebrate the arise of the new Grand Princesses.

Towa: It's our tradition, I remember father and mother telling me about what a wonderful event it was, I dreamt of attending one, but I never fancied that we would actually be the ones they are celebrating for.

Haruka: Incredible! A real ball! (Squeal, long squeal)

Kirara: It's not like you've never been to one before.

Minami: True, remember the Noble Party?

Haruka: But we're going to a royal ball, as princesses! (Squeal) This is SOOOO exciting! Happiness is in full bloom!


In the ballroom of the Hope Kingdom Palace

Herald: Presenting, Princess Haruno Haruka, Princess Kaido Minami, Princess Amanogawa Kirara, Princess Hope Delight Towa, the new light of dreams and hope in our land and at the same time, our saviours, the Grand Princesses.

All four: Good day to you.

As a round of applause sounded, the princesses were free to enjoy themselves, along with all the guests.

Pafu: As expected from the four of you-pafu, you all looked so lovely and uh… elegant and um… uh… pretty on stage-pafu.

Aroma: Of course, it'd be perfect if Haruka didn't trip over her dress when getting into the stage.

Kirara: You're lucky I caught you in time and you didn't actually fell onto the stage. I thought you've gotten used to the high heels.

Haruka: Teehee…

The king: (slowly approaching the girls) Welcome, princesses. Let us show our gratitude once again to the heroines of our kingdom.

The queen: We are honoured that you are able to attend this cotillion we held.

Minami: The pleasure is all ours, we are most appreciated of your hospitality and generosity, your majesties.

The king: Please do enjoy yourselves.

Haruka very subconsciously and informally yelled out a "Sure!" and froze when she realised her lack of manners as the queen giggled lightly behind her sleeve.

The queen: You need not to be too formal around us, it's quite alright.

As the king and queen walked off, Haruka heaved a long sigh.

Towa: Oh don't feel bad, I'm sure you'll get used to it, too, eventually. No need to rush.

A countess: My, my, Towa-chan! Look how much you've grown!

The girls turned around to see a middle aged lady with a grin on her face.

Towa: Countess Annabelle, it has indeed been a very long time.

Another earl: You've grown into the wonderful lady I imagined you'd be. Are you still playing the violin like you used to?

In an instant, Towa had become the center of attention of the nobilities, just a little more regally than we are picturing.

Towa: Sorry girls, but I just haven't seen everyone for so long. Please go on, I'll join you shortly.

Kirara: Welp, the problem of having a princess aura.

Minami: I'd be surprised if she wasn't popular with everyone, after all, she is the princess that had gone missing for years came back and earn the title of the Grand Princess.

Pafu: You all should go enjoy yourselves like she asked-pafu.

Aroma: That's right-roma. Towa-sama isn't the only one that became a Grand Princess-roma.

Kirara: All right! Look, there's the buffet table, what do you say, Haruharu, shall we grab some refreshments? Haruharu?

The foursome looked around but the Princess of Flowers were nowhere to be found.


Near the exit of the ballroom

It's kinda hard to miss a girl wearing a large pink gown rushing out at a face pace, you know?

Miss Shamour: Huh? Isn't that Haruka? Haruka! HARUKA!

Haruka: Miss Shamour? What's the matter?

Miss Shamour: That's my line, where are you going in such a hurry?

Haruka: Oh. I'm just… um… not feeling well, yes, I'm feeling a little woozy.

Miss Shamour: Oh my, shall I help you call the medics?

Haruka: No, no, thank you, I'll just go for a walk, won't be a sec, no need to worry. (Runs out)

Miss Shamour: Hmm…


Outside the palace

Haruka: (sigh) How is it that I'm back to square one again?

…: Are you weeping alone again?

Haruka: Kanata?! Ah! No, I'm not crying!

Kanata: But you aren't smiling either. And if you are not smiling, there has to be some reasons.

Haruka: Did you follow me out here?

Kanata: Pretty much, Shamour said you were acting weird, and as I see it, very weird. After all, what could be bothering our new Grand Princess?

Haruka sighed, then she took off her new tiara and started tracing her fingers across it.

Haruka: If only I really am suited for this title…

Kanata: What do you mean?

Haruka: I mean, I can't talk regally without embarrassing myself, I don't have that princess aura Towa-chan has, I can't even walk with high heels! How? Why did I get chosen anyway?

Kanata: Haruka, the power of your dream is immense, and to achieve that dream, your heart has become stronger, kinder, and more beautiful than anyone I've ever seen. Is that not enough?

Haruka: But…

Kanata: (interrupt) Knowing you, those things? Piece of cake, right? After all, how many lessons have you worked through with sheer determination and conviction? Besides, I thought you wanted to be a princess only you can be.

Haruka: Have you ever seen a princess this clumsy?

Kanata: (giggles) Yes I have, this one right in front of me.

Haruka smiled.

Haruka: Just so you know, I didn't lie, I was feeling unwell, just not the woozy kind of unwell, but no matter, I'm feeling better now.

Kanata: You want to go back?

Haruka stood up from the bench they were sitting on and spun around.

Haruka: This fragrance… are we near to a royal garden?

A surprised expression flashed across the prince's face, oblivious to the princess.

Kanata: Yes we are, and I guarantee, it is the best garden you have ever seen.


In the royal garden

Haruka: So huge!

The Princess of Flowers sure is the Princess of Flowers. She, with eyes sparkling with joy and eagerness, was running through the massive garden, beaming.

Haruka: This really is the best garden I've ever seen!

Kanata: (murmur) See? Told you. (Normal voice) Haruka, come this way, (hold her hand) I have something to show you…


Back in the ballroom

Minami: She has been gone for quite a while.

Kirara: Maybe she's ran into some trouble, maybe we should go and search for her again.

Towa: That would not be necessary.

Minami: What do you mean?

Towa: Shamour said that onii-sama should be with her by now…

Kirara: (smirk) Oooooooh.

Minami: Then I guess we have nothing to worry about. (giggles)


Royal garden

Haruka: Where exactly are we going?

Kanata: My secret hideaway when I was small, not even Towa knows of this place, but come to think of it, someone must've known, there's no way they accidentally left out this place for years.

Haruka chuckled behind him.

Kanata: What?

Haruka: I thought only us 'commoners' do things like this, build secret hideaways and things, I'll show you mine next time.

The prince stopped unexpectedly in his tracks, causing Haruka to crash into him and fall backwards, luckily he turned around and caught her by the waist in time.

Kanata: I'm sorry, are you unharmed?

Haruka: Yes, the flowers are alright, thanks to you, I didn't sit on them or anything.

Kanata: (giggles) I'm asking about you, silly.

Haruka: Teehee… I'm fine too. Have we arrived?

Kanata (finally) let go of her and stepped aside. The princess chortle at the sight of a small, crooked archway made of wood that looked as if they had only just been cut from a tree, with vines as a curtain hanging from it.

Haruka: Oh you were very young alright, look at that unpolished skills, I can build a better archway than this at the age of 7. Now, shall we go in?

Kanata: First, let me ask you, you do know the flower language of red roses and moss rosebuds, right?

Haruka: Yeah sure, why?

Kanata: See for yourself.

He pushed aside the vine curtain so she could step inside. She gasped when she saw a heart shape outline of red roses and moss rosebuds.

Haruka: I… you… for me? And you mean it?

Haruka watched as a tint of pink danced into the prince's features.

Kanata: I know this may not be the perfectly romantic confession every young girl would hope for, but yes, I mean it.

Haruka felt joy welling up inside her and threw herself at the prince.

Haruka: Ooh! Thank you thank you thank you thank you! I thought you'd never asked. This is the best confession a girl could hope for!

Suddenly, they heard indistinct waltz music coming out of nowhere.

Haruka: Weird… where does that come from?

Kanata: Oh that… the ballroom is just behind this thin wall.

Haruka: What a coincidence…

Kanata: Indeed, but well, we shouldn't let this music go to waste, may I have this dance?

Haruka: I'd love to.

The couple stepped inside the heart and started dancing. And as though nature was sentient, a light breeze swept a few fallen petals aloft.

Haruka: Nature is really beautiful, isn't it? I can't think of anything more beautiful.

Kanata: I can.

He looked affectionately into her eyes, which resulted in her tripping over her gown again, taking Kanata with her.

Well, maybe that's not entirely a bad thing, since her lips landed exactly on Kanata's.

Haruka: Ah! S…s...sorry,(Blush furiously) did it caught you by surprise? I'm so sorry.

A mischievous smile shot across the prince's face for an instance.

They slowly sat back up straight, but Kanata suddenly clutched his abdomen as if he was in pain.

Haruka: Kanata?! What's the matter? Are you hurt?!

When the princess was completely caught off guard by her anxiety, Kanata abruptly lunged forward and planted his lips on Haruka's firmly as her eyes widened in shock.

As he backed away, he saw her astonished countenance.

Kanata: Come on! It's only fair!

The princess slowly traced her fingers along her lips as she slowly came out of her confused trance, her face gradually heating up being its proof.

Haruka: KANATA! Jeez! I was really really worried!


A/N: I know he is OOC, but who said that a prince can't play a little mischief once in a while?
