She was beautiful when she wasn't gliding across the icy pond, and she was even more beautiful when she was on the pond. From a short distance away, he watched her. By the moon, she was a goddess. Her blonde tails of hair flowing behind her as she glide across the ice.
For a while, he watched her. His brown eyes never leaving her slim and amazing figure. Even though she had another man's heart going for her, he felt as though they belonged together. If he wasn't a Knight, whose sole duty was to protect her because she was his princess, he would die for her because he loved her.
She stopped skating and looked over where he was, a smile across her face. "Would you like to join me, Jounouchi?" she called out. He smiled behind his mask and walked his way onto the ice. Small blades appeared beneath his feet, creating his own skates. The two of them skated to meet each other in the middle of the pond.
"You were very good, your Highness," he greeted as they started to skate next to each other. She smiled and looked up at him, her large blue eyes meeting his brown eyes, "Thank you, Jounouchi. You skate very well too," she told him. He shook his head, "My skill is nothing compared to yours, my Princess," he said quietly.
She giggled and took his hands, "Come, dance with me, Jounouchi," she pleaded. Taken back by the request, Jounouchi raised an eyebrow but was able to regain his composure as the two of them started to dance across the ice. "Your Highness...may I ask you a question?" he asked.
"I believe you just did, Jounouchi," she joked. He smiled behind the mask, "Why do you call me Jounouchi?" he asked her. She shrugged before twirling around, "That's your name isn't?" she shot back. He nodded, "Yes, but everyone else in the Royal Family calls me by my Knight name. Why do you not?" he asked.
Smiling, the Moon Princess came close to him and put a gloved hand on his chest plate, "Because...because I don't consider you to be just a Knight...just my protector. I consider you to be a dear friend of mine," she said softly. He looked down at her surprised, "Oh...that makes sense I guess...,".
The small talk ended and the two of them continued their cycles of ice dancing as the lights from the Palace shined, making the ice pond and the Moon Princess even more beautiful to Jounouchi.

Joey snapped awake with a snort. "Whoa...what the hell...was that?" he murmured as he rubbed his eyes. He looked over to his clock and saw that it was two 'o clock in the morning.
"Have another dream, Jounouchi?" a voice asked him through the darkness of his room.
The blonde duelist/Knight jumped and fell out of his bed, and landed on his face with a loud thud. "Oh, I'm sorry I startled you, Jounouchi," the voice apologized. With a groan, Joey lifted his head up to see Luna sitting a few feet away.
"Luna...I like you and everything...but you had better give me one good reason why I shouldn't wail on you for doing that," Joey growled, glaring at her. Luna stuck out her tongue, "How about I know where you keep your cards...," she trailed off.
"You wouldn't...,"
"Believe me, some days I tend to do things that surprise people," Luna told him.
He crossed his arms and looked up at the ceiling. Luna tilted her head to the side, "So you did have another dream, didn't you?" she asked him. Joey slowly nodded, "Yeah...I was skating with this girl on the moon, and there was a large building behind us...I don't remember much of it though...," he replied.
Luna smiled slightly, "You're getting new memories of your former life, Jounouchi. Bit by bit, your old life will come back to you,". Joey looked at her, "Not sure if I want my old life though, Luna...,". The talking cat blinked in confusion, then walked over and curled up in his lap, "What do you mean, Jounouchi?" she asked.
Joey shrugged, "You said that the Moon Kingdom was destroyed by a terrible event...right?" he asked. Luna nodded, "Yes, why?". He closed his eyes and began petting her, "If I get my old life back...I'll see what happened, and if it was so horrible...I don't think I want to remember that," he explained in a hushed voice. Luna purred as the blonde teen petted her, "I can understand that, Jounouchi, but there are some things in the universe that cannot be stopped. When they return, you must face your past...I'm sorry,".
The two of them sat in silence as the moonlight shifted on the floor. "Do you mind staying here tonight, Luna? This may sound really dumb, but I don't think I can get back to sleep, and in case I need someone to talk to, I don't want to be alone," Joey asked in a soft voice.
Luna didn't answer him, so he looked down to see her fast asleep, purring. He couldn't help but smile at the sight, "Guess you're stayin' then...," he chuckled. He laid his head against the side of his bed and continued to pet his feline friend.
