My heart races for you, but also for another. Can my soul shine on for you further? Or does it take the rest of me to know who you truly are; for my unspoken wish, can only mean solitude for the rest of eternity.


~Chapter 1: Love is what makes us strong~

"What you heard in your room sounds really crazy!" Shard exclaims, trying to stay calm as him and I are walking outside the castle's royal backyard. It's been a few hours since the incident, but right now he's the only person who I need to tell. Who I WANT to tell. "Unfortunately, as crazy as it sounds, I feel like something is going to happen..." I let out a sigh of desperation, wondering of what could happen in the future.

"Well, if anything does happen, you know I'll be there to protect you, always" He smiles. I smile as well, almost giggling at how goofy his face looks when he tries to perform a perfect smile. Him being a robot makes it only harder for him to do organic-like attributes; whereas me being a hologram that can make myself in a way real, is different than from his perspective.

"I know you will...you always do" I say breathlessly. As he holds me into his embracing, him and I hugging for several minutes, a jumper sound goes off from his left arm; shrieking so loudly that it even makes me cringe. "Sry about that.." He smiles awkwardly, but his smile turns into a frown. "I have to go." "Ok" I respond, and gives him a kiss on the cheek. He yips with glee and rushes off to his destination.

I let out a sigh and makes my way to the kingdoms fair grounds. Soon after when I am there, I spot a familiar face; a girl who dazzles with pink beauty, rummaging through her bag, obviously looking for something. "Nononononono!" Amy shouts in frustration. "It's gone!" I look at her, puzzled, before saying "Hey Amy, what's gone?" She looks at me then back at her bag, digging through her bag once again, frantically. "It's that girls crystal necklace! She let me have it for a day because I said it was beautiful and it was! B-but now it's gone!" She now grabs onto her quills and screams in frustration.

I look at her in shock, but then I start to laugh at Amy's usual predicament. She now looks at me in bewilderment at my sudden laugh, "what's so funny?" I look at her "You! But you're lucky i'm an A.I. I can help you look for that crystal; just tell me what it looks like and i'll scan the area to find it." Amy's face changes to joy as she hops around, crazily, in excitement and in relief that I'm about to save "her" day once again.

"YAY! THANK YOU NICOLE! OMIGOD THANK YOU!" I do a curtsy, and says "What I do for the kingdom and it's people is all for the kingdom and it's people." At that, Amy tells me of the necklace's design. She tells me it looks like a sphere with crystal surrounding it, but the whole thing looks kinda like a crystal bird holding a sphere in it's wings, even though the crystal is jagged and has spikes everywhere on it.

"Ok, at what you mentioned, I now have enough info to look for the necklace. Stand back, please, as I survey the entire kingdom" I say, as Amy stands back, watching in awe and wonder at how I can do what I do. I make a pose, with my legs crossing each other as I stand up; holding both arms out with my palms wide open, eyes closed. At that, the entire landscape, topography and architecture of the area comes in my mind and is shown to me like a map, as I start to look for the necklace.

It takes me a few minutes, but when I do spot the necklace. I release from my virtual world and focuses my attention back to Amy. "I've found the necklace, it's located near the bridge to Angel Island...what were you doing there anyways?" I question her, my eyes showing my curiosity. Amy looks at me blushing now, as she says "Eheheh, that's for me to know and you to find out!" She points a finger out, doing it in a few circles.

I shrug and before I make my goodbyes to her and makes my way to the Fair Grounds, she stops me by holding onto my arm. I look back at her in shock at why she touched me, but I see her face is serious now. "Can you get the necklace and take it back to her?" "And why would you want me to do it?" I ask her. "B-because I already feel bad that I lost something so important to that girl, please do it for me? Please?" She now begs as she's on her knees, holding my left hand now.

I make a deep sigh, and says "Alright, alright, I'll take it back to her for you." Amy shoots up from her knees faster than a gun going off as she yips in excitement once more, hopping all over the place. "THANK YOU NICOLE! I PROMISE YOU WON'T REGRET THIS!" And at that she takes her bag and runs off, still hopping all over the place. I smile and make my way to my new destination. The bridge to Angel Island.

Twenty minutes later after I have arrived, I spot the necklace in a grass patch area, next to a giant boulder and a few rocks. When I pick up the necklace, I stare at it in awe at how beautiful and exquisite it looks. I would be mad too if I lost THIS type of accessory...After a few moments of praising it's beauty, I snap out of my trance and puts the necklace around my neck, making sure I wouldn't lose it.

"And what are you doing with MY necklace?!" A feminine voice, with such authority, imitating from behind me. I look back to see a female fennec, with yellow and blue fur, pink belly show shirt that says " Queen of Everything ", pink hip top long pants, pink heels, a lovely looking hair pin on her that it's design I do not recognize, her eyes the color of diamonds, and a few fashion set rings on her fingers. Geez, no wonder Amy became such fast friends with this girl.

"My name is Nicole, Nicole the Holo-Lynx" I state myself. The girl looks irritated now and jumps from the rock she was perched on and lands a few inches in front of me. "Not your name, the object perched around your neck, why do you have my necklace on you?" She asks again, getting even more irritated now. I let out a deep breath and tells her the truth, from the beginning for when I bumped into Amy this morning.

The fennec let's out a sigh, and says "And my friends wonder why I never give away my stuff. Look, I'm sorry if we got off the wrong foot, I thought maybe you stole that necklace from the girl who I gave my necklace too and ran off with it." I look at her as my face flushes, feeling embarrassed that someone is apologizing to me, I quickly compose myself, and says "N-no no, don't be, it's really no one fault really...My friend Amy can be a little clumsy, so please don't be mad at her."

The Fennec let's out a laugh "Don't worry about it. Oh! Where are my manners, my name is Linivella Dia Fabula, but you can call me Lini for short. I am known for my work with accessory designs." She then indicates her clothes, hair pin and rings. The one thing they all have in common is that they all have the letter "M" with beautiful rose designs on and around it. "See that? That's my company's insignia, my company is called the MeinroseFabula" where we make all types of products to make your day perfect and brand new" she informs me.

"You're company sounds like it's pretty much booming right now with sales" I say. She nods to me, and says "Oh yes, we're practically doing very well as we speak. Hey, how about you and I go grab a bite to eat? I feel bad enough as it is for blasting off on you like that." I smile and nod my head "It's ok, water under the bridge. And sure, I would like too." We both laugh as we make our way to the Fair Grounds.
