Now you'll get to see and know what the czarevna and Ro have in common. But even though its is Prussia, they speak Russian.

And I took out the 12 dancing princesses, it was just to many people to write. So I hope just these will do for you.

Chapter 3: The Guests Arrival

Czarevna Gisela [GHEE-suh-luh], was sitting on the throne, with her brother, Czarevitch Conrad on the opposite side of her. She had her nose in a book, Romeo and Juliet. On of her favorite books, about romance and tragedy.

"I can't believe I'm going to be married!" Sighed Conrad in his Russian/German accent.

Gisela rolled her eyes. Ever since he dated Duchess Yessenia, Gisela liked her, but she was way to optimistic for her. And two years later their engaged to be married by the end of the week. It was the happiest time in all of their lives except one tiny thing.

"I can't believe your still going on with this wedding?" Gisela exclaimed in her Russian/German accent as put down her book.

"Why wouldn't I?" He asked his sister.

"Uh, death threats? Notes in your bedroom and Yessenia's, marked with blood? Sabotage? All that and your still going through with it?" She asked.

Conrad looked at the dirty blonde. "Sis, when your in love, nothing can stand in your way."

She rolled her eyes. "Duh, I know that! But death might!" she said in a high pitch voice. "Your not the only one who know about love."

"Oh, you mean Spencer, right?" He teased.

Spencer was Gisela's best friend, (that was a boy.) Over the years she had developed feelings for him. And they were just boyfriend and girlfriend now. They weren't pushing anything into their relationship that would jeopardize it.

"Yes. Who else." She sighed. "You know Conrad, we're the only ones here to greet them."

"I know, I wonder what they're doing?" Conrad asked. "Maybe Father is fighting a dragon and Mother is the damsel in distress. Or they're, you know." He winked at her.

"Debil! (moron in Russian)" sighed Gisela as she rubbed her temples.

"Make way!" A white Persian cat ten through the doors, followed by a tawni and white dog.

"I'm faster!" Borzoi puppy said gradually getting close. "No one can win against the Moguchiy Ral'f (mighty Ralph in Russian)."

"Moguchiy Ral'f, Ha! More like Moguchiy Katastrofa (might disaster in Russian)." Kina, scoffed.

Ralph slid in front of Kina. "Kina! You always destroy my dreams!" He whimpered.

Kina looked at Ralph and rolled her green eyes. "Look, you can dream but its not going to happen." She said flicking her tail at him.

"Gisela! Can you please tell her not to crush my dreams?" He asked his mistress.

Gisela looked at her two pets. "Kina, you need not to unichtozhit' (destroy in Russian) his dreams. You have dreams of your own!"

Kina sighed. "I guess your right." She turned to Ralph. "I'm sorry for criticizing your dreams."

"Your forgiven Kina." He said hugging the cat.

"See, a little love goes a long way." Gisela sighed.

Just then, their Timothy and Tiana, twin 14-year-olds tan into the throne room. Gisela stood up and put her hands on her hips.

"Timothy, Tiana, where have you been? We've been waiting for hours!" Gisela demanded of her younger siblings.

"Sorry, Gisela we lost track of time, but the royals of Apollonia are here!" Tiana replied.

"Yeah, so do you want us to introduce them, since Frederick isn't here to do it?" Timothy asked with his bright green eyes gleaming.

Gisela sighed. "No, I think we already know them. But hurry and come up here and sit on your throne!"

Timothy and Tiana ran up the stairs and sat down in their thrones. They heard foot steps coming down the hall. They all stood up as they entered.

"Aunt Danielle and Uncle Peter, its so nice to see you!" Exclaimed Conrad.

Gisela stomped on his foot. He but his tongue in pain.

"What was that for!" He demanded him a whisper.

"Act like royalty, not your normal self." She whipered back as she, Conrad, Timothy and Tiana walked down the stairs to meet them.

"Hello my dears, you look so grown up. What has it been? 10, 11 years?" Danielle asked as she gave them a hug.

"9 actually." Gisela corrected politely as she curtseyed to them with the rest of her family.

"You've all grow up so well and tall to." They all bows her curtseyed back.

"I'm the only one who's tall." Conrad said arrogantly.

Antonio came with with Ro right beside him. "Hi Gisela, this is Rosella, the one I've been telling you about."

Gisela looked at the Ro as she curtseyed to her and smiled. "So, your Rosella or Ro as he calls you all the time. Nice to meet you." Gisela shook hands with her as she curtseyed back.

"Hi, you can call me Ro," Ro said a bit shyly. "Your Gisela?'

"Yes, that's me. That's Conrad the one getting "married"." She explained in air quotes. "This is Timothy and Tiana, both twin 14-year-olds. And the rest of them are no where to be found."

"You already know my sisters, Mother and Father and I, and now Ro, and this is her Mother Queen Marissa." Antonio introduced. "This is Luciana and her beau, Henry."

"Privet, it's hello is Russian," Gisela said to all of them.

"Hello, so are you happy about your brother getting married?" Marissa asked.

Gisela shrugged her shoulders. "Yeah, Yessenia is a very nice girl."

"Where is she now?" Peter asked.

"At the spa with her mother and maid-of-honor." Gisela replied.

"Oh, your not?" Luciana said.

"No, I really didn't make friends with her. She was ... how do I put it, we didn't have anything I common." Gisela told with.

Kina walked up to Gisela and rubbed on her leg, followed by Ralph.

"Oh, your Ro! Your so pretty!" Ralph complimented Rosella. "Where's your animal family?"

Ro bent down to their level. "They stopped for a bit to say hello to Joy and Peace, the two cockatoos."

"Will they be here soon?"

"Sure, any minute now."

Gisela looked at Kina, who just stood their looking pretty. "Kina, say hello!" She demanded.

"Fine, Hello." Kina replied with a snarky voice. "It's so nice to meet you."

"Kina, talk nicely to them! Don't be condescending! They're our guest and we'll treat them like our family, even thought they are." Gisela said putting her hands on her hips.

Kina sighed and said. "Hello, I'm so glad you could come." Then she walked off.

"You talk to animals too?" Ro asked with eyes widened.

"Yea, I always had. Don't know how though, but I'm glad I can communicate with them." Gisela smiled as she picked up Ralph.

"See, I told you, you and Gisela have something in common." Antonio smiled as Ro got up.

Azul, Sagi and Tallulah walked in on Tika. Azul gasped in its beauty.

"This is fit for a prince, as myself." Azul said cockily.

"It's a very nice kingdom. Very beachy, unlike you'd think it would be." Sagi said looking around.

Ralph barked. "Are you Azul, Sagi, Tika and Tallulah?"

"Yes, and you are?" Tallulah asked.

"Ralph! I'm a Borzoi puppy! I love meeting new people and animals!" Ralph smiled.

"What about where do we sleep?" Azul asked. "It has to be fit for royalty!"

"Azul, you don't ask that question upon first meeting them." Ro scolded the peacock politely.

"It's fine. Well, if you would like we can get you into a room with trees, flowers and all kinds of stuff you find on a beach." Gisela said.

"Really? I can have a tree the this castle?"

Gisela nodded.

"I'm sure the rest of our family will be here at supper." Conrad said as Timothy rolled his eyes.

"Conrad! You should ask them if they're hungry and want some lunch!" Timothy told Conrad as rolled his eyes.

"Would you care for some lunch?" He asked them.

"We ate on the ship. It didn't take long to get here, but thank you anyway." Peter replied.

"Your dog is cute!" Princess Rita smiled as Gisela set him down.

"He has a really soft a fuzzy coat!" Princess Sophia grinned as she scratched behind Ralph's ear.

"And his nose is all wet!" Giggled Princess Gina. "And cold."

"He is. You'd love Kina, but she has an attitude right now, so give her 'till the end of the day, she come around." Tiana told them as she noticed she was no where to be found.

"All animals have good and bad days." Ro smiled as Azul, Tallulah and Sagi jumped off of Tika.

"Um, Ro?" Tika asked tugging on Ro's sleeve with her truck.

"Yes Tika." Ro said stepping a little ways back to Tika.

"I don't know about this, I have a bad feeling, and I want to go home." Tika said in a soft voice.

"But, Tika we just got here and its Conrad's wedding. I'm sure you'll end up liking it." Ro told the elephant.

"But ..."

"Tika, you'll be fine. If you want I'll hang out with you and we can walk about if you want."

"Okay."

"Gisela would it be alright if we could be shone to your rooms so we can get unpacked?" Asked Danielle.

"Um, sure ..." Gisela said as Timothy tugged on her light salmon lace skirt.

"We can show them for you!" He said with a toothy grin.

"Tim, what are you planning?"

"What do you mean?"

"The only time you have a grin like that, you have something cooked up."

"Look, I want to be useful, and you can stay here and greet the others."

"Okay, be a play nice."

"I will."

They all said they byes for the moment, Conrad and Gisela knew they would want to get settled down first. Then they would talk more.

Timothy, followed by Danielle, Peter, Luciana, Henry, Antonio, Ro, Marissa and all the animals, leaving Tiana, Conrad and Gisela to greet the rest that were coming.

"See, your not the only person who can talk to animals!" Conrad said going back up to the thrones as Gisela rolled her eyes.

They took there seats on the thrones and waited for the rest. It was about almost an hour when, King Louis of France, Corrine, Renée, Aramina and Viveca walked into the room. Of course Gisela and Conrad were already waiting for them with Tiana.

"Hey cousin!" Conrad exclaimed as he and Louis high fives each other.

Gisela rolled her eyes as she looked at them. "When they're together they act like children. I'm Czarevna Gisela, and you are ..." She was erupted by laughter.

"Oh, Conrad I forget how funny you are!" Louis laughed at Conrad nodded.

"I know, it's been like forever right? Do you want to here another joke?" Conrad asked.

"Sure!" Louis laughter as Corrine cleared her voice. "Oh right, This is my fiancée Corrine and musketeer. And these are her friends and also musketeers, Renée, Viveca and Aramina."

They all got introduced to each other. Louis and Conrad did a lot a catching up, while Gisela talked to the musketeers.

"So, your here to "protect" the King of France." Gisela said using air quotes.

"Why a did you use air quotes for protect?" Corrine asked in a demanding voice.

"Knowing Louis, it was just an excuse he could get away with to have you all here. Believe me, he's just as sneaky as Conrad." Gisela said.

"Your right, but I would come no matter what because I'm his fiancée." Corrine sighed.

"Your very vezuchiy, lucky I mean, he's a great guy." Gisela smiled at them.

"It was nothing like I pictured!" Gasped Aramina.

"What?" Tiana asked standing by her sister.

"Prussia, its very tropical and winterie at the time, its magnificent!" Sighed the romantic redhead.

"I would think so, but Paris is beautiful too." Gisela told them.

"It's a bit crowed at times and the people aren't as friendly as they're here." Viveca said.

"Do you have like any top secret training grounds for musketeers here?" Aramina asked.

"Not that I know of, but we do have something like that. But we do not have musketeers, were have military comrades more or less that's what they're called." Gisela smiled as she explained.

"Oh, yeah, Paris is the only one with musketeers." Aramina sighed.

"But ares aren't as fancy as ours. We fight with swords, but also guns, bow and arrows too."

"Do you fight?" Corrine asked.

"Sure, but I'm not that good. I do it just go fun, mostly to show up others." Gisela said.

"Oh, one time you should have a duel with Corrine, them we can see how better!" Viveca suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Gisela said.

"But I must warn you, I'm very good and can defeat anybody." Corrine warned as Gisela nodded her head.

"Fine with me."

"This is gonna be great!"

"Some time I'll have to show you ..." Gisela paused dramatically. "The Secret Room. It's ... well, I'll show you instead of telling you."

"How secret is it?" Renée asked with one eye brow raised.

"Very, I really have no idea where it is or what it is, all I know its top secret and only for military comrades, that's all."

"Oh I can't wait!" Squealed Aramina.

"But you can't tell anyone about it!" Gisela warned them.

"I won't!" Viveca said.

"Me neither!" Renée added.

"Nope my lips are sealed." Aramina said.

"I wont tell, it'll be your secret." Corrine said.

"Good, mean while I'll try and find it!" Gisela said.

"Oh Gis, I hope you don't get I trouble! You what will happened if Dad finds out!" Tiana said as Gisela rolled her eyes.

"Tiana, he won't know as long as you don't snitch." She told her.

"I don't snitch! Fine, if you get in trouble leave me out." Tiana turned around, picked up Kina and walked off.

"Let me go!" Kina wailed.

"Tiana, let Kina go." Gisela told her.

"Fine!" Tiana sighed in frustration as she set the cat down.

"I hate being carried like a sack of potatoes." Kina said licking her paw.

Miette, Corrine's tawny cat walked up to Kina and sniffed her. "Who are you?"

Kina looked at Miette. "Kina, are you Corrine's cat?"

"Yes, are you her cat?" Miette asked pointing to Gisela.

"Yes she is. I was getting ready to have my lunch of fish, would you like to join me?" Kina asked.

"Sure! But I need to make sure its okay with Corrine." Miette said walking up to Corrine.

Corrine bend down to her as she meowed. "What is it Miette?"

"Kina asked her if she would like to join her for lunch and Miette was asking you if it was okay." Gisela explained.

"Sure Miette ..." Corrine stood up and looked at Gisela. "You talk to animals?"

"Yes." Gisela replied as Renée, Aramina, Viveca and Corrine's eyes widened.

"Wow, that weird!" Gasped Viveca.

"Vivi, what not nice!" Renée told her.

"But is true."

"I'm use to it. It okay, I know its unorthodox for someone to talk to animals, but I've always was able to." Gisela told the.

"It's so cool! So you really can understand what they say?" Aramina asked in awe.

"Yes, its one of many of my gifts ..." Gisela was rudely interrupted by her brother.

"Next time I go to Paris you got to take me up in your flying machine!" Conrad said in awe.

"If you want to be a pancake." Corrine chimed in.

"What do you mean?" He asked.

"He hasn't got the hang of landing it yet. And some way or another one of use lands on the ground." Corrine told him.

"I'm not afraid to get dirty, am I Gisela?" Conrad asked his sister.

"No, but you look like a pig when your done and make the castle look like a pig sty." Gisela giggled. "And you know how Mom is with a clean castle."

"I know. I know. I have to clean it up myself until I see myself in it."

"Wow, don't you have maids for that?" Aramina asked as she slightly cocked her head.

"Yes and no. Yes: We do, but they get paid real good and have a nice place to stay. And no: Things we're fully capable of we our ourselves." Tiana grumbled.

"That saves alot for us." Viveca sighed with relief.

"So beside being musketeers your maids too?" Conrad asked.

"Yes they do." Louis said rapping his arm around Corrine.

"Look at you two, in love." Aramina sing-songed.

"Get a grip Aramina." Corrine sighed.

"If you'd like I can show you to your rooms?" Tiana told them.

"Okay, I'm pooped. Ready to take a nap for a bit." Corrine sighed.

"I'm ready to change, and the salt water didn't do good for my hair." Viveca said.

Tiana showed them to their rooms. Conrad told Louis they'd catch up later.

30 minutes later Ian, Jeremy, Liana, Alexa and Melody walked into the throne room. Liana and Alexa's eyes grew big as they saw the castle. The only castle they've ever been in was the Diamond Castle.

Gisela and Conrad were the only ones let to greet them.

"Ian! Jeremy!" Conrad exclaimed walking up the them and doing their secret hand shake.

"Congratulations cousin! I'm so happy for you!" Ian told Conrad.

"Thanks!"

"Your so lucky, and to a beautiful girl!" Jeremy said as they turned to Gisela. "Hi, Gisela, its been forever since we last saw each other, right?"

"Yes, you were only 15 when we last saw you, we we're very cheeky." Gisela said hugging them.

"This is my girlfriend Liana." Jeremy introduced her to Gisela.

"Hello." Liana gave a wave and curtseyed.

"Hello," Gisela smiled as she hugged her the Alexa.

"And my Dark Beauty, Alexa." Ian grinned mischievously.

"Hello," Alexa said. "At first I thought Gisela was his ex, because he talked alot about you,"

"Until she found out your his cousin." Liana finished.

"Ian talked alot about you Alexa, and Jeremy talks about you Liana, all the time ..." She was interrupted by two dogs. A brown and white one and a pure white one. "Aw."

"That's Lily." Alexa said pointing to the white one.

"And that one is Sparkles." Liana said with a smile. "Oh and this is our friends Melody!"

"Hi, its so nice to meet you!" Melody said with a smile.

"And you too." Gisela replied.

"So, when are we going to meet the fiancée?" Alexa asked turning to Ian.

"To night at supper. She's at a spa day with her Mother and maid-of-honor." Conrad said shaking his head in annoyance.

"So is she nice?" Alexa asked picking up Lily.

"Um, yeah. She's nothing like me though, she hates the outdoors!" Gisela said as Liana, Alexa and Melody gasped.

"She does?" Alexa asked in shock.

"Yeah, she more of a material girl." She said putting her hands on her hips.

"I thought you can't live without the outdoors?" Ian asked in dismay.

"You make sacrifices for the ones you love." Conrad told them with starry eyes.

"That's true." Jeremy said as Liana smacked him in the arm. "I wasn't talking about you! I was talking about our Mum."

"It's true, she sacrificed alot for Pop." Jeremy added onto his brother sentence.

"If you say so." Alexa said not believing their story at all.

"And to think you think you'll all that." Gisela scoffed.

"They thought they we're they cats meow." Liana said.

"They weren't that bad." Melody slightly smiled.

"Sure, if you count sing a song about themselves as as not that bad, then sure." Alexa shrugged.

"Wait, they sang a song about themselves." Gisela giggled. "That's sounds like them. I've gotta hear it!"

"Liana!" Jeremy gasped in embarrassment.

"Alexa!" Ian sighed covering his face with his hands.

"You were the ones who sang it. It was bound to come up." Liana told them.

"I thought it was cute!" Melody sighed with a smile.

"To cute for their own good." Liana smiled as she put her hands on her hips.

"Don't be embarrassed, I think it was cute and a little arrogant of you." Alexa said hugging Ian.

"But you did take our place singing. And we thank you for that." Jeremy thanked.

"At least we got a free meal from it." Liana said.

"But Lydia did find us though." Melody added with a frown.

"Who's Lydia?" Gisela asked.

"Lydia was a muse of the Diamond Castle, before she turned evil ... how about I tell you the long story later." Melody asked.

"Fine with me."

"Boy, I'm hungry, where's the dinning room?" Ian asked.

"Men and food." Liana giggles shaking her head.

"I'll show you. Would you ladies care to join?" Ian asked.

"I'm good thank you." Liana said.

Conrad showed Ian and Jeremy to the dinning room. Gisela showed Melody, Liana and Alexa tot their rooms followed by Lily and Sparkles.
