Fine's POV

"Good luck you two on winning Best Sports Princess, I'll be expecting good results this time," Camelot said. "Make sure that you won't drink anyone's blood, should I get you more blood just in case?"

"We'll be alright, Camelot." Rein said.

"We'll do our best at today's party," I told her. "See you later, Camelot."

Then we took off. This is the first Princess Party where we don't have to wear a gown. I like it better this way. It's more comfortable than the dresses we have to wear, even through I do like dressing up... sometimes. It's mostly just Rein. Now, that I think about it Rein's been pretty quiet lately. If she's daydreaming about Bright I swear...

"Rein, you alright? You've been quiet since breakfast," I said trying to get her attention.

"Hmm? Yeah I'm fine. Don't worry too much about it."

What's with that answer? Oh well, I'll leave it alone for now. Even through we have been together for all our lives, we still have secrets that we chose not to tell each other, but right now that's not really what I should be worried about. How will today's Princess Party turn out? If it's like the last one, I don't want to go to one again.

"Fine, look where you're going!"

"Huh?" I looked out the window and saw that we were going to crash into a huge I accidentally pulled down the handle bars too hard. Rein and I started screaming until we realized that we didn't crash into anything. We looked up and saw a Windmill balloon above us and Princess Sophie asked,"Are you two unharmed?"

"Thank you."

After we both landed safely, Princess Sophie quickly became friends with us and she didn't even care that we were vampires. "Of course I don't mind. It's my greatest pleasure to become friends with the most un-vampire like vampires in the history of Fushigi Boshi, or at least that's what I've been told."

"Thank you, Sophie," we said at the same time, smiling. Well at least in this Princess Party we made a friend so it's not as bad as last time.

"So you two are here? I'd thought that you wouldn't have come back after what had happened last time, I'm somewhat impressed," Altezza said as she walked towards us. Her attitude's the same even through it wasn't our fault. I wonder if she'll ever change?

"She's still thinking about that? It was a while ago wasn't it," I said to Rein who was nodding. "Besides it doesn't really matter to us anymore."

"I agree. Now, Shall we go under a tree until the party starts? It's bright today again," she said as she looked around for a large tree with plenty of shade. "Oh, Fine look at those flowers. They're quite pretty, aren't they?"

"Eh, they're so pretty. I wonder what the name of these flowers are," Sophie said walking over to the pink flowers that Rein pointed out, admiring them and ignoring Altezza's presence all at the same time.

"Are you all ignoring me," Altezza asked as she froze on the spot. Then Sophie turned around and said," Altezza, long time no see. Have you been well?"

"Y-yes. Why wouldn't I be?"

"Oh good, then let's do our best today as members of the Loser Club. Right Altezza?"

"R- Wait a moment! I don't recall ever joining such a club! Last time was just an accident, today I'm going to win Best Princess, no matter what," the girl declared. It seems that she still has her pride with her. I wonder... will she not act like that?

Soon Bright came over and said,"Altezza, don't be too rude. Princess Sophie I'm sorry if my sister had said anything rude to you."

Then Sophie cluelessly said, "Did she?"

I envy her a little... Oh well. Then I noticed that Rein was staring at Bright with hearts in her eyes. What is she imagining in her head this time? As always, I'm afraid to know. Bright suddenly turned around and said, extending his hand, "Hey, Princess Fine. I've heard that you've really good at sprots and I can't wait to see your performance- Rein."

Saved! At the last second I grabbed Rein's hand and she shook Bright's hand. Then she said with hearts still in her eyes," Thank you so much, Bright-sama!"

"Anyways," he said as he let go of both of our hands. "We should leave now Altezza, King King is getting impatient and wants to start the race soon," Bright said, taking Altezza with him. I bit my mouth a little to lip myself from sighing in relief. "See you two later."

"See you later," we both said. Then Sophie did the same. I swear, that Bright has some sort of attachment to me, but I can't be sure explain. Either way, I shouldn't tell Rein about this or she might start crying oceans and I don't want to drown yet.

"Fine, let's go before we're late," Rein said.

I nodded and as we both went to where everyone else was I asked Rein," Are you planning on using the bats today? Right now, the sun's at it's brightest so just having a hat might not be enough."

"Probably, since I'm not good at running and tire so quickly even when it's night, anyways it's starting," she said as she summoned her bats and King King was starting to speak. I might be alright... I think. I just need to finish up quickly so I don't need to summon my bats that were resting in the trees.

"Now that everything's done now, on your marks! Get set, go!" The tiny king quickly said right before he shot his small pistol. i ran as fast as I could underneath the bright light. Good thing my hat's on tight. I jumped up a managed to bite a huge chuck of the bread off and ate it. So good~! Let's see... what's next?

Rein's POV

I can't reach it! I tried to jump again but I still couldn't reach it. Why is it that I'm so bad at jumping? Then a quiet voice said, " This is hopeless I'm definitely going to finish last."

Oh, looks like I'm not alone. "You shouldn't give up," I told her. She looked at me as I said while smiling," I'm Princess Rein from the Sunny Kingdom. You shouldn't just give up like this."

"I'm Princess Mirlo of the Waterdrop Kingdom. I just know that I won't win Best Princess this time. I'm very bad at sports," she said quietly, but not with fear. I don't think that she's afraid of me. She seems really nervous about all this, through.

"I'm very bad at sports as well but let's just do our best until the very end. It's not over yet. We still have a chance," I told her to hopefully make her feel not as nervous.

"But..."

"Don't think that it's impossible. I know! To make yourself more confident you should smile and try to have some fun," I advised her.

"Like this," she asked with a small smile on her face.

"Exactly, now let's try again."

(Sorry, I'm too lazy to write something that you already know how this ends)

"Congratulations on winning Best Sports Princess, Mirlo," I said to her.

"It's all thanks to you, Rein. I hope that you two can visit my country one day, then we can have a lot of fun together," she happily said.

Then Fine and I said," Of course."

Things didn't go too bad today, thank goodness. I think Camelot's going to yell at us again and give us even more homework than before. Homework... She gives us so much homework already! At least 5 stacks of books and we can't go anywhere until we finish or else she'll open the curtains while we're sleeping. She has done that before when we skipped to go play in town.

"Fine, Rein," Bright -sama said as he was coming towards us. Wait! He was walking towards us! Eeek! "I want to invite the two of you to have tea. Sophie and her brother will also be there as well as Altezza. This is an apology for what happened that time you two were in the Jewelry Kingdom. You should really come."

"Well...," Fine started.

"We'll go! We'll definitely go! What day will it be," I quickly said. Even through Altezza will be there, I really want to have tea with Bright-sama!

"It's the week after the next. I hope that you'll be able to make it. Until then,"Bright-sama said as he walked away to Altezza. Tea with Bright-sama! I'm really excited!What should I wear that day? My dark blue skirt or perhaps one of my less formal dresses? I have to go through my closet when I get back home and examine all of my outfits thoroughly.

"Rein, your happiness is very noticeable and I'm starting to smell even more sunshine coming from you. What are you thinking about now," Fine asked as she pushed me into the balloon. I just sighed in happiness. "Even through I really don't want to go, I guess I've got no choice now."

"No you don't."
