Rein's POV

"Fine, which would be better," I asked as I held up two options a simple dress with black ribbon and a skirt with black lace. Out of my closet it took me a week just to decide between these two and I can't pick which one's better. "Well, which one," I asked her who was still in bed.

"I'm sleeping," she muttered to me. Then she just pointed to one of the choices and said," This will look really good on you."

"But Fine, this is a very important decision," I said to her. "That means that you need to actually see what you're choosing."

"But I'm sleeping. Ask me in an hour."

"Then we might be late! And you know that Camelot always told us to be on time and it's really rude and-," I said quickly but Fine cut me off. I took a breath. Talked too fast again.I have to make sure I'm perfect for today. After all, we're going to have tea with Bright-sama today. I can't wait!

Fine got out from bed and said," Now, there's no way that I can go to back to sleep now. Chose the skirt, it looks nicer. Now will you stop shouting so much when it's still day?"

"Thank you Fine. Now, we'll be leaving in 10 minutes so go get dressed," I sweetly said to her as I quickly changed clothes. She ran to get something to eat. This day should be really fun! I wonder what kind of tea we'll have? Rose tea is always good but a nice Earl Gray would be good today too. Well, I'll just have to wait and see. Now, if only Fine could hurry up we could go sooner.

"Okay, I'm finished," Fine said with a slice of toast and blood in her mouth and fully dressed. "Let's hurry before you...yeah, let's just hurry."

"We have to leave now," I said before I ran out the door.

"Well, don't forget your hat and parasol! Rein! Hey Rein!"

...After some time...

"Ouch!" I said as I landed on the ground. After flying here at mach speed, I tried to land quickly too but... it didn't work out exactly as I planned.

Then Fine came down in a more graceful landing and said, "And that is why when you land it can't be too fast or you'll end up on the ground. Anyway you did finish your homework last night right?"

"Umm... well, I did my half of it,"I said. "So I'm alright today."

She looked at me with doubting eyes and said, "Really?"

"Really!"

Then a hand appeared in front of me, I looked up to see Bright-sama! "Are you alright, Rein?"

I quickly took his hand. " I'm perfectly alright! Thank you very much Bright-sama!" After I got up, I said," Also, thank you so much for the invitation today. I hope that we didn't come at an inconvenient time?"

"You've arrived just in time, tea is ready and Sophie and her brother arrived here a little earlier. Now this way please," he said before he lead me to where a table, chairs, and a roof above everything were. It connected to the palace. The tea was already out. Everything was perfect. The small part of the garden that I saw before was absolutely beautiful. "I thought that it would be best if we have our tea under shade."

"Thank you for being considerate of us," Fine said "Also, this place is really beautiful. I've never seen anything like it in the Sunny Kingdom. "

"Thank you. If we have time later then we should all take a walk later. Please have a seat anywhere you wish everyone else will be here soon."

"Alright," we both said as we sat down in chairs next to each other. Okay so far so good. If I just stay calm, then everything will go well, hopefully. Maybe...

Soon I heard Altezza and Sophie. "What do you mean by that?"

"That's it! Your angry face, isn't it just wonderful?"

"That does-," she stopped when she saw both of us. I have a bad feeling about this. "What are the two of you doing here?"

"Bright-sama invited us," I said. "Is there a problem," I asked calmly. She seems to be getting madder by the minute and I don't have a plan. What should I do? I really don't want to leave just yet but... I really don't want Altezza to hate to hate us even more. She already hates us a lot, we don't need to add to the flame.

"This is your brother Sophie?"

"Yes,this is my older brother Prince Auler," she said to us. I noticed that he did look a lot like Sophie. Well he seems like a nice person, like Sophie, at least. "These are my other friends, Princess Fine and Princess Rein. You don't need to worry they don't suck blood at all."

"Nice to meet both of you, I hope that we can get along," Auler said. He really is Sophie's brother. Then I noticed that there was a cart of sweets nearby. When did that get there? Fine noticed too and we both stood up to look. Each one of them was really pretty, like the cookie castle that Altezza made for the Best Sweets Princess Party.

"Can I eat one of the cakes," Fine asked, ignoring Altezza's glare at her.

"Yes, please eat as many as you wish," Bright-sama said. He really is a nice person.

"Thank you. Then let's eat." In a second, besides Fine were a neat and small stack of plates. "They're very good and look Rein there's honey waffles, your favorite," she said before quickly starting to eat again. Honey waffles... I slowly took a bite. It's good. Suddenly she started coughing. She ate too fast again.

"Fine, you'll choke if you eat like that," Sophie cheerfully said.

"Here's your tea," I said as I handed her the cup which she quickly gulped down. She took a big breath when she was finished. Altezza angerly stood up and walked away muttering," Excuse me." Did we do something wrong again?

"Please forgive me. Altezza has been spoiled by us and enjoys it more when things go her way. Please don't mind her."

"It's fine, I think that I had something to do with that," Fine said.

"Why don't we take a short walk in the garden," Bright-sama quickly suggested.

We all agreed and followed Bright-sama. "This is really impressive, Bright-sama," I told him. "The crystals and the flowers are very pretty together. As expected of the Jewelry Kingdom."

"This is just because my Mother likes flashy decorations. I personally think that it would be better if it were a little simpler."

"I see," I said, then noticed that Fine was muttering cake over and over. They probably looked as delicious as they tasted.

"Princess Fine, I'm pleased to hear that you enjoyed the cakes. Altezza was the one who made them all," Bright-sama told her. "She really practiced hard for the Best Sweets Princess. It was a shame that her castle had fallen that day, but you shouldn't worry about it too much. She was alright a while after."

That day... we were blamed for it. I looked at Fine who nodded at me. Fine asked, "Bright, you would know where Altezza is right? Can you please tell us where she would most likely be?"

"You should probably just leave her alone when she's like that."

"Please, I want to get along with her too. And it would be funner with her here, don't you two agree?" Sophie and Auler nodded and looked at Bright-sama.

...When they came to Altezza's hiding spot...

"Kiee!"Altezza then threw the flowers and they formed into an arrangement. Fine and I walked in clapping. Altezza quickly turned around and said," You two again? Stop spying on me you're annoying and now I have to change my design all over again, when I finally got it perfect."

"You don't need to do something like that. We couldn't possibly imitate you," I told her.

"You two... really make me mad. Coming in here like your my friends, acting like you're innocent when you're really not, deceiving everyone by saying that you hate blood. A princess, even a vampire princess should at least tell the truth. You two think that it's so easy, I've been training to become a better princess all my life and you two just think that it's that simple, well it's not!

Something just snapped in me. I don't know if it was because of the hurtful words she said, or just because but no matter what I felt anger.

"You have no idea what it means, the words that you say, so don't act as through you know. Vampires are hated by human eyes," Fine argued back at her. "How would someone like you be able to think they same way we do? You say that you have to try hard well just think about us."

"Because we are vampires we have to try even harder. We are represent all the vampires in Mysterious Star, both good and bad," I said to her. "We have been isolated all our lives from other people while you have the luxury to not be feared by everyone. You can't understand our feelings."

"You... You think that will get me to stop? You still tell don't the two of you just get out of here? You're no better than Princess Grace who chose power over humanity." She really went there.

"It was to save Mysterious Star! She was willing to give up everything to save everyone," Fine said to her. "She had to give up her human side or everyone wouldn't be here now."

Then I said, "She was truly a kind person. No matter how she was treated, she was still nice to them. No matter how man people had hated her, she still acted as through nothing had happened. That is the ability of a true princess."

Then we both bowed. "We're sorry for our outburst. We'll be leaving now. We apologize for acting the way we did, it was quite rude of us to do such a thing."

"W-"

We both left the room before she could finish. It makes me feel a little better after we had said that. "Fine, let's go home. I'm already happy when the little time I got to spend with Bright-sama."

"Then let's go back home and take a good rest for today. Maybe we should stop trying to be friends with Altezza. It really seems that she hates us no matter what. "

"No, I think we should just try a little harder, I think that we don't understand something about her."

Fine smiled at me. "You're right. After all under everything, Altezza is a nice person."

"Very nice."
