Love Story
Chapter 2:
It was Princess Rachel's birthday again. This time, she turned seventeen. King Trigon invited many people, and because of her kindness, he finally got convinced to invite all the citizens of his land.
Rachel had already thrown all her memories down the rubbish chute as if they were nothing. She had became a more serene and hopeful person. Everyone in the country respected her as she respected them. Due to her fame and favour of the citizens, King Trigon became more famous. Everyone wanted to settle in his land.
The hall was crowded with people. Many of them, in fact, all of them wished her a happy birthday. The princess was happy, she seemed happy. But deep down inside, something had been bothering her for years.
Whenever a party was held in the palace, the first thing she did was to stand at the gate, waiting. For whom, she did not know, she just had the urge of waiting for someone. Then, when she was disapponted, she would go up to the balcony and stare at the dark velvet sky. And she hoped...
Early before her birthday party even started, she had already changed into a beautiful white gown and ran down to the gate and wait as usual. Many of the early-birds greeted her.
"Princess, King Trigon wanted to see you," a royal guard, Mal Duncan, rushed towards her.
"Yes, sir," Rachel smiled warmly.
"Oh and happy birthday." Raven hesitated to leave, but she knew it must be something important that her father called her to meet him. She took aa last glance and turned back, heading to the hall.

"Darling, I'll now introduce you to Prince Wally. Wally West," King Trigon stood up and bowed to the young dashing prince.
"Father, I thought we agreed to no more of this sort," Rachel shot a death glare at her father.
"Child. Don't be rude in front of our guest. Greet them NOW!" he belllowed.
"Yes, father," Rachel hung her head down. "Good evening young prince. I am happy to meet you. And I hope you'll enjoy yourself here."
"I am pleasant to see you too," the prince said it so quickly that it seemed like he was rambling nonsense.
"My lord prince, you are kind and wealthy. I hope you will heed my advice that you should not waste your time and money on me. I have already had a person in mind. And my father, King Trigon was going to trade your land for the exchange of me. I hope you can understand," Rachel lied, but still spoke the truth about her father.
"You... You swindler. This is outrageous! How can you treat your daughter that way! I am going to tell father. And thank you for your advice, my princess. I'll take my leave now, will you excuse me?" Rachel nodded and the Prince Wally left.
"Here you go again! What in the world are you thinking of?" King Trigon stormed off.
"Dick Grayson isn't it?" Kori emerged from the shadows. "I knew the story. It's that boy. Am I right?"
"How do you know that?" Rachel was shocked. Not only because that Kori knew why, but also because the riddle was solved. She knew why she always waited at the gate, she knew why she was upset, she knew why her favourite place was the balcony— the place they first met.
"Come on. Let's go gown to the ballroom," Kori nudged her to move.

They ballroom was filled with excitement and noises. Everyone was waltzing as a classical song was played by the violists. Rachel's amethyst eyes swept across the whole hall. With a sigh of disappointment, she went up to the balcony.
The clear June breeze kissed her cheeks and caressed her hair like a loving mother's touch. Tinges of sadness soon overwhelmed her. If she could prevent anything from happening earlier, she would definitely stop Kori from making her realise she was waiting for Dick. It was even better if she did not know the truth. Tears trickled down her soft cheeks sub-consciously.
"Rachel, everyone's celebrating, come on," Kori called from the spiral staircase and Rachel was jolted out of her thoughts.
Rachel went down and a short boy was grinning at her, "Dear Princess, I'm Garfield Logan, prince of Kingdom Patrom." [1]
Rachel rolled her eyes and ignored him. "May I have a dance?"
Rachel walked away, but stalked by Garfield. It seemed like the only way to keep him from pestering is screaming at him.
"Hey, do you know why the cookie weet to see the doctor? It's because—"
"Shut up, freak!" Rachel stomped away.
[1] I seriously have no idea where is Beast Boy from so I came up with a land call "Patrom".
Okay... So, I have a question for you: Since I'm trying to recruit all the main characters, should I also include Terra and Slade? Please tell me ASAP :)
