Disclaimer: I do NOT own Roswell the series, the actors, and blah blah blah, etc, etc, etc. so don't sue me for having a piece imagination and lots of fantasies. But I reserve the right to details of this story not in original show but from my own imagination. Ha!

Sorry for the extremely long wait. I was very busy with things and finally decided that I should continue with this story. Hope you'll still enjoy it.

Chapter 2

"Maria! We are so glad that you finally made it. I was so worried that you would not come this. Mother is very set on getting me wed before the next moon. I am so worried that I will not find someone I love and will have to marry just anyone." says Princess Liz of Crainne as she embraced wholeheartedly her best friend in the whole world. Princess Maria of Isles.

Both princesses have been friends since childhood. Their kingdoms (the Kingdom of Crainne and the Kingdom of Isles) neighbor one another, thus intergalactic travel takes only minutes. Crainne and Isles and part of a 3 ring outer orbital that sorrounds the inner ring Raque to the East. The 3 outer-ring planets are Crainne, Isles and Thistle; and they share similar geography and therefore are co-dependent on one another for economic growth. The basic economic exports from these countries are biotechnology and medicine from Princess Liz's planet Crainne. Music and entertainment from Princess Maria's Planet Isles. Finally, the planet Thistle exports Computer systems and artifical intelligence. Thistle's Crown Prince is Prince Alex, who is also a close friend of the two.

Together these 3 outer-ring kingdoms are the centers of arts and technology. Entertainers and scholars inhabit these lands. Residents live peacefully amongst one another and have little occasion to use powers. As such, over thousands of years, the people of these 3 planets are generally perceived as less powerful than someone born in the inner-ring, and as such Royal weddings tend to occur amongst aristocrats from the outer-ring than from the inner-ring.

In fact, some royalty from the inner-ring planets are fearful that a political alliance with a weak outer-ring planet with little military power would weaken their position in the Raque (coucel of the 3 inner-ring planets)

Thus, Liz's selection for husband is limited to royalty from the 6 outer-ring planets 3 to the east of the Raque and 3 to the west of the Raque.

"Liz! I am so glad to see you chica. How I've missed these past 10 days, I cannot believe I could be parted from you for long. Please don't worry about marriage. I suspect the Queen only threatened you to marry you off to get you away from the books. I mean experience life, live a little. You have never attended any of thse interplanetary gatherings since you were five. Alex and I however, at least make the attempt to be seen twice a year at these things. Sure we're never the center of attentions, as the heads of the West outerring planets. But I still think these Innter-ring people might expect a certain formality from us to be seen. I am thinking the Queen is quiet worried about your inheritance rights. Afterall you can't really inherit the throne unless everyone one in our world approves. So I do think the Queen is doing the right thing here." says Maria to a nodding Liz.

Liz "You're right. I will have to inherit Crainne one day. As queen, I owe it to my people to establish a cordial and familiar relationship with every King or Queen in our planetary system. Besides weddings are always fun to attend. People seem so happy and pleasing to one another. Do you think this engagment party is going to be fun? Mother would like to introduce me as the crown Princess Liz at the engagment ball tomorrow. I'm really thankful for the choice, since everyone will be so focused on such powerful alliance between Crown Prince of Antar and Lady Ava of the military house in the planet Mortar to really question me."

Maria"Oh Liz, you are truly an exceptional person. Come let us put our woes away for the moment and pick some dresses. I brought us quiet a few selection of clothes from Isles, the place where all the best fashion designers and entertainers live." smiled the cheerful princess. Then she continued "I heard Lady Ava is your cousin, I heard my mom say that you were chosen as her waiting-in-waiting. I hope you'll survive her, I heard she is not very nice, and can be very manipulative. Guess what? I been requested to perform a song dedicated in the couple's honor by the great Kivar. I think Mother was so offended at the requested she literally threatened to start a war against Antar. Pretty funny considering we have no standing army."

Suddenly Maria beemed "but you know my sweet Liz, I am actually very excited about singing in front of people. Afterall my planet is known for its artistic talents. We have produced many revered artists of history. I don't think my status as the princess is at all offended to perform in public. They just don't how good I am until they see me"

Liz "oh maria, you'll be wonderful on stage, I am sure of it. hey look there comes Alex. He arrived 2 days before you, and has been with the beautiful Princess Isabell ever since. I can barely get a word with him." addressing Prince Alex "helow Alex, long time no see, I hope the princess is treating you well. Have you made any progress today with her?"

Alex smiled shyly and offered the two princesses both of his arms. They walked in the garden. "well I am sure glad to see the both of you. I don't think Isabelle like me at all but I am simply content being by her side." But I have to be parted with her at this moment to prepare for a social gathering tonight. Prince Zan and Lady Ava are supposed to be on a date right now, and later tonight he will bring her to a closed social gathering to meet his friends. In addition, all the young royals have been invited to attend. You should receive a card soon. What do you say to helping an old pal set up this gathering. I really want to impress Isabell here."

"here thing Alex, anything for you" said both princesses, as the 3 slowly walked to the pavilion, arm in arm.
