Chapter 5
sweet sixteen
finally it is here. January 1st. The new year and the birthday of six beautiful teens. All the six kingdoms are celebrating especially melody because the main function is in there. The palace of melody had been decorated so wonderfully. All kings and queens showed their skills in throwing a grant party that the universe had never seen before. In this day all the six princesses are turning sixteen. So it is a grant party and all of their relatives are going to be there. There the girls are supposed to meet their aunts and cousins. They had met their aunts and uncles before when they were only five yrs old.. But they had never seen there sons. So all girls are excited. But somehow they (except Stella and Musa) felt sorry for not inviting that guys they met in the mall to there birthday party. After all they did seem quite friendly with them.
They had done everything they can do to improve their looks and now they looks like real goddesses.
They had bought their dress and accessories one day ago. They had done their make up and is now ready for the great event.
Bloom got a dark blue gown and she had the crown of sparks. She looked really beautiful in it.
Flora got a pale pink gown and she had the crown of linphea. She really looked as beautiful as a pink rose.
Tecna got a violet gown and she had the crown of zenith. she has a very elegant look in it.
Layla got a green gown and she had the crown of Andros. That gown really matched with her appearance and she looked really fair.
Musa got a dark red dress and she had the crown of melody. Her hair was in two pigtails and it suited her very much.
And last but not least Stella got a golden gown with golden embroidery and stones in it. She looked really like a rising sun. she had the crown of solaria. She looked more beautiful and formal than usual.
(they are wearing the dresses that we see in the end of the movie. At the princess ball in sparks)
Stella did everyone's makeup and selected everyone's gowns. Like always they really suited them and everyone looks really dazzling and radiant.
Soon the party started.
The kings and queens were busy taking care of the guests and wishing them. There was tons and tons of people. Musa was busy setting things necessary for her song and Stella didn't finished her makeup. So the others walked down the hall. They were feeling slightly nervous. Because they had to meet their respected relatives after a long time and not to mention their cousins.
As they looked around they saw some familiar faces. That was the guys they met at the shopping mall. They were wearing tux and looking formal. They walked near the girls.
Bloom: hey... what a surprise? What are you guys doing here?
Flora: yeah... it really is a surprise.
Tecna: we didn't suppose even one percent that you guys would be here.
Sky: we too. We are here to attend this party. We are invited.
Layla: really then somehow we surely know each other. Other than meeting once in the shopping mall.
Brandon: then again you guys are also invited.
Bloom: in fact... (she begins but was interrupted by a group of ladies including there mothers).
Miriam: well, well it looks like. You already met everyone.
And the other ladies accept.
Bloom: mom what do you mean by everyone ?
Yulika: so you don't know.
Flora: not really. We are kind of ... can't understand what you guys are saying.
(the girls as well as boys nods).
verony: so you didn't get the right path. Did you?
Tecna: I guess so.
Miriam: then I will explain.
These ladies are your aunts. They are your father's sisters.
Bloom. This is your aunt queen Olivia and that is her son prince sky of eraklyon. (she pointed towards a brunette woman and then at sky). Your uncle king Stefan is over there with your father.(she points towards a blonde man)
flora. This is your aunt queen feline and that is her son prince Helia of marigold. (she pointed towards a black haired woman and then at Helia) and your uncle king Christopher is over there with you dad (she points toward a red head man).
Tecna: this is your aunt queen helina and that is her son prince Timmy of zodith.(she pointed toward a red head woman and then at Timmy) and your uncle king Joseph is over there with your dad.(she points toward a brunette man).
Layla this is your aunt queen fazione and that is her son prince Nabu of Aquarius.(she pointed toward a dark light purple haired woman and then at Nabu) and your uncle king Andrews is over there with your dad. (she points towards a man who is exactly identical to Nabu)
and then where is Musa and Stella?
Nobody answered because they were that much shocked.
Miriam : hello... what happened? Did you hear me?
Bloom: huh...ha... yes mom. Well Musa is still setting everything for her show and Stella isn't ready yet.
Miriam: OK. Then someone call them..
flora: I will go.
But when flora turned to go she saw Musa coming towards them.
Musa: hey... everybody ready for the greatest event ever. (she had a wide smile in her face. She didn't see riven in fact any of them yet.)
Layla: ha kind of. (all girls were shocked but the same time curious to see Stella's and musa's reaction)
suddenly Musa sees riven and her smiling face turns into a ghostly angry face.
Musa: YOU... WHAT ARE YOU DOING HERE? HOW DID YOU GET IN? WHO LET YOU IN? ARGH... SPEAK UP WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING HERE?
Riven felt really angry but he controlled. Their mother's was shocked to see her reaction. And the other girls muttered her to calm down.
Miriam: Musa.. honey. What happened? Why are you like this? Do you know him?
Suddenly Musa thinks about their mother's present and changes her attitude.
Musa: nope. I am sorry I thought it was somebody else. I am So sorry (she said the last part through her gritted teeth)
Miriam: well then. Musa this is your aunt queen Gloria.( she points to a magenta haired women) and this is...(she pointed to riven)
Musa: NO WAY. I mean don't tell me he is my cousin.
Luna: well, he is your cousin prince riven of loberring and your uncle king Williams is over there with your dad..
Musa: NO... this can't be true. Oh! My god.(she faints and Tecna supports her).
Verony: oh!dear. What happened?
Layla: it's nothing. Probably because she didn't eat anything until now. We will take her in.
flora: yeah. Don't worry. We will take care of her.
They takes her in and sprinkles water in her face.
Musa: girls... Plz tell me that was a dream.
Tecna: in fact no..
Musa: OMG! OMG! What am I going to do? My dreams are ruined? My life is ruined?
Flora: don't cry sweetie. We will find a way out of this.
Bloom: they are not our fiancé's yet. So calm down. We only met.
Just then Stella walks in looking radiant and beautiful.
Stella: hey... girls. How do I look?.. hey... wait a minute... what happened to you Musa?
Musa: no... nothing. (she puts up a fake smile) did you meet your cousin?
Stella: no. I am going to meet him. Then did you guys meet your cousins?
Musa: yeah. Now what are you waiting for? Just go...
Stella: coming anyone...
Musa: hmm... no. it will be good if you go alone. We will see from here.
Stella: did you see him? Is he handsome? Then again is everyone handsome.
Musa: you will see Stella. First go there. I am sure you won't forget that meeting ever in your life.
Stella: o...okay
with that she goes downstairs to meet her cousin and everyone looks from the upstairs.
Musa: let's see. How she is dealing?
Everyone looks at Stella in awe as she descended the step. Every men was drooling over her and every women felt jealous. she went straight and saw her mother waiting for her with some others.
Stella: hey... mom.
Luna: oh! There you are come on.
Stella: sorry I am a bit late.
Luna: its okay. Stella meet you aunt queen riya (she points to a red head lady) and this is her son prince Brandon of espero...
Stella was too much shocked. Her mouth was gapping open. She felt like ground is swallowing her.
Luna: and there is your uncle king cederik (she points to a brunette man) with your dad.
Stella stood there lifeless. She felt like she is falling off a cliff.
Luna: Stella... Stella...what are you thinking?
Stella: oh! Nothing mom. I am sorry.
Luna: then wish them. You look like you had seen a ghost.
Stella: very nice to meet you. (she said each word through her gritted teeth).
Brandon: you too. (he said this with a grin and casually putting one finger on his lips and stared intensely into her eyes. Somehow this made Stella feel embarrassed and offended )
Others see all this from upstairs and decided to join them. As they came down.
Verony: honey how do you feel?
Musa: great mom.. just great( she said looking straight into riven's eyes)
julius: well girls. Now it is your turn.
Bloom: hi guys. I am princess bloom of sparks and my parents are king oritel and queen Miriam. It is so nice to meet you. (she said this while looking at sky) and I officially invite you guys for our party on behalf of six of us.
flora: hai.. I am princess flora of linphea and my parents are king ferido and queen yulika. (she said rather shyly but cheerfully)
Tecna: I am princess Tecna of zenith and my parents are king hasten and queen Terra. (she said in her thick British accent.)
Layla: hey guys.. I am princess of Andros and my parents are king fanamick and queen julius. (she said in a boyish way)
Musa: I am princess Musa of melody and my parents are king gest and queen verony. (she said with boldness and throwing dagger looks at riven)
Stella: and I am princess Stella of solaria and my parents are king radius and queen Luna. (she said with pride and avoid eye contact with Brandon. She seemed to be upset with his actions)
Layla: we wish you to have a good time here.
Then there fathers came there
hasten: so how is everything going.
Terra: let us say ...
Luna: fabulously.
Everyone laughs
oritel: come on. Shall we open the ball?
Miriam: of course dear.
As the elders have the first dance. The youngers went for having dinner and for minding there on business.
With bloom.
She sits near the wine counter. Just watching everyone dancing. And sky joined her.
Sky: hey... mind if I give you some company.
Bloom: not really. I am sorry I didn't tell that we met earlier because you know...
sky: I know. They don't know about the whole incident and Stella don't want them to know. It is okay. We don't mind. Really.
Bloom: thanks. You know...
they chatted for a long time and felt really close to each other.
With flora
she was outside in the garden. Enjoying the beauty of the flowers. Someone talks from behind. she looks around.
Helia: so you really like flowers. Don't you?
Flora: yeah.
Helia: me too. I have a vast garden back in my home.
Flora: me too... how many plants do you have?
Helia: almost every species.
Flora: really. Me too.
Helia: would you mind if I draw your picture.
Flora: (she blushes) not really. So your hobby is drawing.
Helia: yeah. I like it very much. Really I am pretty good with it...
they continue their conversation for a loong time and felt something common within them.
With Tecna
she was sitting in the party hall. Timmy is sitting quite next to her.
Timmy: so did you repair you computer?
Tecna: in a way I did but it is not working for more than 7.2 minutes.
Timmy: oh! Maybe something wrong within the software.
Tecna: hmm... I think so. Can you help me? If you had time..
Timmy: yeah, it is my pleasure. So did you read this month's IT magazine.
Tecna: yeah. But in the 1020 no. page...
they continued to chat and seemed to be in their own world. They really forget about their surroundings and feel interested in each other.
With Musa
she had just finished her song with Stella and is now singing alone. She feels like she really mean what she is singing. Of course it was a sad song but it suited her situation very well.
Riven was also hearing her song and was enjoying it. He is somehow impressed but didn't change his expression. He really felt something amazing in her. A few minutes ago he was angry enough to kill her. Now he really wished to talk to her. He cursed himself for being very rude it her. He just wished he didn't start with her like this. But now he can't reverse anything or be soft on her all of a sudden. So he had to continue like this but he really felt something for her. he hoped eventually maybe he gets to talk with her like how he wished.
Musa was feeling the same. Maybe she is not that much sad. But now she had no other choice. Hmm...let's see. Where this will end up. Then we will think about how to deal with. she thought looking at him and continuing with her song.
With Stella
she was sitting in a couch all alone. She felt torn up inside. But really deep deep inside she felt really excited and happy to see him again but can't explain why. She tried to shake all these feelings and tried to keep her attitude being angry. But as much as she tried to shake that feelings away that much it sticked around her. She noticed he was flirting with a group of girls. She felt jealous somehow. At least can't he came and sit some where near her. why he didn't even make an effort to talk to her. Can't he see she is all alone by herself. She sighed maybe it is her fate. She was so excited to meet her cousin. She even thought that may be he will become love of her life. But this not only he didn't seem to notice her but also he behave like a total jerk. She thought there is no way that he would ever like her. She didn't tried to talk to him because she is afraid weather he would again pick a fight with her. At least she can sit here just watching him. She really feel like talking to him. But it looks like she can't ever. He seems to notice only the girls around him. She consoled herself maybe he isn't the one for her. But she is trying really hard to hide her feelings and hate him.
Sure Brandon was flirting with a group of girls. It definitely seem like that. But really he wasn't paying attention. He was noticing Stella all the time and thinking hard to find a reason to talk to her. But he is afraid that she would be mad at him. He thought that she is more beautiful than when he see her the last time. He would spend an another hour just looking at her. Like Stella how much he tried to hate her that much he was filling with the feelings for her. He sighs maybe sometime he would get a chance.
At last the dance of the elders came to an end. Now it is younger one's chance. Everybody except Stella and Musa went to dance. Riya and Gloria saw this and went our their sons and pushed them towards the princesses and told them to ask the girls to dance. At first they hesitated but then they went over Stella and Musa. Stella and Musa were both excited in deep deep inside but decided to wear a fascade of horrified annoyance.
Riven: look girls, we really don't want to do this
Brandon: yeah, we are asking only because our mothers are compelling us. So please can you just co- operate?
Stella and Musa muttered: fine
then they went to the dance floor and started to dance. Stella and Musa looked everyone else everyone seem to be in their own world even there friends. They sighed as they spin throughout the room. They don't know how long they danced. But they didn't feel tired. During the dance both of them didn't said a word so Stella and Musa also kept silent. Even though they can't help but agree how excellent dancers the guys was. The same thoughts ran through the boy's mind also. As they were spinning around Stella saw a surprising scene...
with bloom and sky.
They were dancing in there own world. lost in each other's eyes. Then sky asks,
sky: bloom, have you been ever interested in anyone particular?
Bloom: have you?
Sky: yes.
Bloom: who?
Sky: I will tell you when you answers my question.
Bloom:(blushes) yeah. Now tell me who you are interested in.
sky: well, she is a princess. I know her only in these recent days. But she really give me a shocked surprise. She is really beautiful. She has long red hair and clear blue eyes. And I more clue she is around here.
Bloom blushes even more.
Bloom: oh! Then I wonder who it is.
Both of them laughs.
Sky: so who is yours?
Bloom: well, he is a prince. I too know him only in these recent days. But he also gave me a shocked surprise. He is really handsome. He has blonde hair and clear blue eyes like mine and he is also around here.
Sky: oh! I think I know him.
Both of them laughs even more and sky kisses her on her cheek. She seemed to be very much surprised and her face look red as an apple.
Stella saw this. Her mouth dropped and she stands there wonder struck forgetting the fact that she was dancing. Brandon notices this but he couldn't find anything that wondrous. He called her name. But got no response. He called again and again. But the result was same. Finally he pulled her towards him. But the first time she didn't move. So he pulled her strongly towards him to get her attention.. but that was more than enough for her petite form. She snapped out of her daze but by that time she collapsed into his chest. But by the time she had control over her fall their nose touched and lips merely brushed each other. Stella thought "no not again" as she began to blush furiously but tried her hard not to blush and to put a angry face. He saw this and smiled but before she sees he change his expression.
Brandon: what are you doing, girl?
Stella: what am I, what are you doing?
Brandon: it is not really good to do something like that every time.
Stella: oh! Yeah. Now I have all the blame. You are the one who pulled me.
Brandon: I pulled you because you seemed to be spaced out. I didn't pull you for you to kiss me. Did you get me?
Stella was unable to hide her blushing more. She was trying hard at that and to put an angry face. so she said
Stella: that's it. I am going
with that she run upstairs to her room but not before just looking back once. But when she left the dance had ended.
Brandon just smiled and left.
Both sky and bloom and Brandon and Stella didn't know that their mothers not everyone but Olivia and riya was seeing this. Even though they can't hear them.
Olivia was not at all surprised but riya was really shocked but thrilled at the same time. She can't wait to tell this to her brother.
At last the party was over. The girls went back to their rooms and the guys were outside just chatting.
Sky: so everyone how was it?
Nabu: to say the truth it was a true blast.
Everyone else except Brandon and riven agreed as they agreed mentally.
Helia: hey... Brandon what is in your lips?
Brandon: what?
He wipes his lips with back of his hands and find out it was Stella's lipstick.
He mentally thought : oh! Oh!
Sky: how many times I had to tell you that don't do this At least when we goes with our parents. It is embarrassing. Had you thought about what happens when someone sees. Not just someone if your parents sees? Yo really had to reduce you flirting.
Brandon: sky... don't worry. First of all I didn't do anything. Second of all I know how to defend myself.
And he mentally adds " and third of all I don't think they would mind. After all in a way I had a right for it"
sky: anyway it is for your good. Not mine.
Brandon: I know pal. I know and I sware I won't do such a thing as you think ever in my life. But one thing I can only guarantee I won't do anything. You know.
Sky: oh! Man (everyone laughs).
To be continued...
