A/N: This is part two of the ball chapter! Enjoy!
Mirana's POV
Anthony looked charming. He had a white suit on, with a black bow-tie. His now completely brown hair was spiked in all directions with gel holding it up. I smiled to myself, remembering when he was just a little boy and used to tie his bow-ties to his head. Laughing to myself, I tightened his tie and slicked his hair back. "Mum! I want my hair spiked!" He protested, taking his hand and messing it up again. I rolled my eyes and went to check on Dedrick. I found him in our room, looking himself over in the mirror. He wore his own white suit, a silver tie resting on his neck. I walked up behind him and placed my arms around his waist.
"You look dashing, darling." I told him, hugging him. He turned around and smiled at me.
"Thank you dear." He responded. "You don't look to bad your self." He complimented me. I chuckled to myself, and looked at my self in the mirror. I wore a knee length, god forbid, white dress. It was sort of simple. It had a small bow on the belt, which sat on my stomach. White pumps were on my feet, and a white headband on my head. The dress had a wave at the bottom, and spahgetti straps. It most certaintly wasn't an outfit I wore everyday. Much to casual. "Actually, you look pretty hot." He commented. I playfully slapped his arm while I blushed. "Are we ready?" He asked. I nodded my head and called Anthony. We walked out the door, downstairs where the ball would be starting. The castle was decorated in white. What a shocker. I was actually getting sick of the color. The three of us took our seats at the front table.
Alice's POV
I wasn't surprised that the castle was decorated in all white when we got downstairs. Tables were circling a wide open space of floor, where the dancing would be taking place. Tarrant led the kids to our table while I walked over to where I saw Mirana and her husband and child were sitting. "You look amazing," I told her. She was actually showing some skin. She blushed and returned the compliment. I sat down at my table. Daphne was staring anxiously, and he stole a glance at her once or twice. Poor girl was so worried about the boy. "Calm down, dear." I whispered in her ear, and I saw her shoulders relax a bit. Mirana rose from her table.
"People of Marmoreal, my family and I welcome you to the yearly ball!" She welcomed everyone. Cheers and claps sounded loudly and a big smile rose on Mirana's face. This is what she enjoyed doing most. "This dance is in the honor of the Hightopp family!" She announced, and I felt my face go red as we stood and bowed. "And two very speical people. I would like to introduce Daphne, of the Hightop family. And Anthony, of the Sigia family!" She added. I smiled cheerfully as a confused Anthony and Daphne stood up. They had no idea what was going on. They'll see soon enough. "And with that, you may eat." Servants came out with trays, and set them out on the tables. After everyone had ate, slow music had started to play. Mirana winked at me, smiling. I smiled back, and looked at Daphne, who was staring at Anthony dreamily. I walked over to her, taking her hand in mine. Mirana did the same for Anthony, who was averting his gaze from my daughter. We brought them to each other, while they barely tried to escape. Mirana put his hand on her waist, and the other in her hand. He turned bright red, and Daphne giggled. I take her hand and put it on his shoulder, almost crying. They instantly are glued to each other, her head on his shoulder and they are both smiling.
I walked back over to Tarrant, sighing happily. Sitting on his lap, completey oblivious to the stares I was attracting, and rested my head on his chest. "They look so at peace, cricket." He told me, smiling. "But I don't think that Camo is doing as well.." He chuckled, looking over at our son, who was flirting with a young girl with deep black hair, failing miserably. He said something wrong, and the girl walked away, hitting him. He walked back over to us, sulking.
"Why can't I get a date, and she can?" He glared at Daphne, who was still smiling and resting on Anthony's shoulder. "It isn't fair!" He pouted.
"Hi Cameron." A girl smiled, walking by him, waving, then disappearing in the crowd. He stood there, open mouthed. She had long, red hair, with green cat eyes.
"H-hi.." He stampered, falling over. Maybe this wasn't the most normal family in Underland. Then again, what is normal than being dull?
