Previously:

"But then what about your dance of the night?"

"You know I can't dance." The princess replied rolling her blue eyes. "I have no rhythm."

"Whatever reguardless of what I wear, I am going to dance with the right boy today."

"Oh yeah, is it Fox?"

"No." Sun replied sassily with a playful roll of her grey eyes.

"Hue? Nyx? Rocky? Scarlet?"

"No, no, no and you know he is already taken."

"Well I'm going alphabetically it that helps." Neptunia laughed out as Sun pushed her starting a chase to back to their home. Both girls were laughing as they played in the air.

Now:

Neptunia walked out the door with her father; Ruby, Yang, and Penny following after her. Her father had light grey fairy wings with black designs, and a sword on his hip, his name was James Ironwood. His blue eyes looked at his blood daughter, "Smile." Her response was to give the fakest smile she could think of, "You know what I mean."

"I think this one is better."

He shook his head, raising Neptunia by himself had been a bit difficult but it was worth it to see how beautiful she had become. She looked just like her mother if she had her original long hair. He had been quite agitated to see it all cut off a year ago, now he was used to the undercut look she now sported. In fact is suited her better than her old hair style. She no longer wore dresses but that actually didn't bother him as they would just get in the way when she took over. "I still remember when you used to dress up for this. You looked lovely in everything you wore."

That got a real smile out of her even if it was small, "Yeah, but you were right. They do get in the way."

"Reguardless if I am right. My favorite part was the smiles you used to give even though you have no talent in dancing. You used to have so much fun and brighten the room before the Cardin incident." Her father replied. He never forced her to tell him what happened just took it in stride. He had always thought she could do better even if Cardin was one of his top men. His hatred for faunus was well known.

"Ug."

They reached the end of the walk, "At least give me a dance tonight." Neptunia leaned on his arm with a bigger smile and went to reply but was cut off.

"How about someone better?" Shocked dark blue eyes looked at the dance floor. Cardin was there with his three henchmen. One was Russel who had a green undercut, blue eyes, grey fairy wings with green designs, and two daggers on his waist. The second one had Sky who had slick back shoulder length grey hair, blue eyes, light blue fairy wings with grey designs, and halberd on his back. The last was Dove who had short brown hair, blue eyes, light brown fairy wings with black designs, and a sword on his hip.

Oh, oh, oh here I am

"Cardin!" Neptunia yelled angrily as the said male fell to his knees. Her hands were fisted at her side.

On my knee's again

"Dad, do something." The princess begged her dad who just looked at her telling her to do something but not make them look like a fool.

I'll do anything, just to make it right.

Neptunia looked at the brown haired male with disgust as he fixed his hair, "I have that haired thing all figured out bub."

Say you understand

"Yuck never." The blue haired female put a hand on her hip. Ruby, Yang and Penny hovering near her awed at his attempt.

Oh, I know you can

"You're a complete nut case." Neptunia growled out getting nudged for that from her father.

Come on Neptunia

Cardin stood up as the three behind him fell to their knees.

Neptunia had enough already and flew down to him whispering, "You cheated on me remember."

"And you left me at the alter. Remember that?" He could tell the blue haired girl was close to beating his face in so he pretended to be hit in the heart letting himself be caught by his henchmen. Then he peeked and stood up dancing with all the other soldiers behind him.

No matter what people say,

It didn't happen that way.

The blue eyed female glared the three sprites that were with her. They stopped their dance that they were doing to the cheater's song. Then she crossed her arms in which they followed her actions.

She was a passing flame,

And not a burning thing.

"You've gone delusional." She replied rolling her eyes.

So I hang my head, oh,

I wish that I was dead.

She showed excitement as he showing himself getting hung by an invisible rope, "I can help you with that."

Come on Neptunia

Sun was in the background dancing with the other military men, "Hey, I'm Sun."

Come on…

Cardin grabbed her and tried to kiss her only she slapped him and flew into the air. All the while Ruby, Yang, and Penny following her up.

Say you can understand.

My Water Fall

Neptunia watched as several fairies formed a flower with their wings. "I am not your anything, Cardin. Now leave me alone. I want nothing to do with you."

"It was one little mistake."

Her jaw dropped, "Little." She shook her head as he smiled widely at her, "You have a lot of nerve saying that to me." She landed and countered with her own song.

Think you got the best of me?

Think you had the last laugh?

Cardin chuckled nervously as he backed away from the angry female, "Well no."

Bet you think everything good is gone.

He backed up even more as her moving hands almost hit him in the face, "Slow down there my Water Fall."

Think you left me broken down,

Think that I'd come running back

"Well." Cardin said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Baby you don't know me cause your dead wrong.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!

Stand a little taller,

James smiled hearing his daughter's voice and letting her get this done before getting after her for embarrassing him.

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

What doesn't not kill you makes a fighter.

Cardin backed up so he didn't get hit in the face by Neptunia's fist as she punched the air. He was pretty sure she was actually aiming for his head. "Whoa!"

Doesn't mean I'm over cause your gone.

Oh ohh

Cardin pulled down a few fairies as they tried to fly away stopping Neptunia from advancing till she was able to land on her feet and follow after him.

Oh, oh, oh here I am.

"There you are." The female said with a roll of her eyes.

On my knees again

"Yep."

I'll do anything just to make it right.

"Yeah right."

So you understand

"Way too well."

Oh, I know you can.

Cardin had not stopped walking backward so he made the people making a flower fall over like dominos. The princess smiled and waved a finger at him.

Didn't think when I came back,

I come back swinging.

The mace wielding male ran away from the female as she now flew after him with her beautiful and unique dark blue wings. He slipped and fell when he stepped on Russel, "Water Fall." He fell and hit his head. Cardin came back too not long later after being hit on the head by Ruby, Yang, and Penny.

Cheater, cheater, cheater, cheater

He quickly moved to get away from still singing female. However she just followed him anyway singing away. Showing her independence and freedom of him.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger,

Stand a little taller.

Doesn't mean I'm lonely when I'm alone.

He tried to hide behind the girl he cheated on Neptunia with only for them to spin so fast that when she was let go she fell over. The blue haired girl was unaffected however, as was he. After all he made sure to close his eyes remembering that was indeed faster than the majority of fairies. Cardin ran down the hallway to get away from the furious female.

What doesn't kill you makes a fighter.

Foot steps even lighter.

Doesn't mean I'm over cause you gone.

What doesn't kill you make you stronger.

Stronger! Just me myself and I.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger.

Stand a little taller,

Cardin tried to pull the door open only put his back to the door as she slammed her hands on either side of his head. Had this been a different scenario, he would happily look at her breast however she was one furious woman at the moment.

Well now it time to say good BYE!

She let him fall when she opened the door then closed it on his brown wing, "Bye, bye." Smiling she turned to the crowd, "Wasn't that fun?"

Sun was praising Neptunia with a large smile and by clapping her hands before dropping her hands when James looked at her. The monkey faunus smiled dropping as she said, "I meant that was awkward."

The king nodded her over making Neptunia sigh and follow him, "Sorry."

"I love hearing your voice, don't get me wrong. It was one thing you got from me, the ability to sing so well even if you did not get my dancing skill. But that was not what I meant by handle it." The black haired father said his hands were folded behind his back as they walked to the middle of the dance floor.

"I know, but he just makes me so…"

She stopped when her hands were placed on either his arm or in his left hand, "That means you know better." The music started and he took lead letting her follow his steps even though she stumbled, "As future queen, you have to think before acting."

Her dark blue eyes looked up, "Yes sir."

He smiled at her, "Smile, I want our dance to be the highlight of the evening."

She giggled, "So long as you keep the difficult dances for Sun. I'm no good at those."

"That just means all the slow songs are you and me." Neptunia laughed and enjoyed her time with her father.

I hope you all enjoyed the chapter.

Now before you all go I have a couple of things to number out.

1) I wanted to tell you about the few stories coming to an end soon. It is three stories Mythical Hollow, A New Type of Enemy, and Water Gem. Mythical Hollow has about three maybe two chapters ready to publish so I can't tell how long that one has got left in it, A New Type of Enemy has about two to three chapters left, and Water Gem I think has a handful of chapters as well. Now because these stories are coming to an end I have a poll going on if you wish to place a vote. The first story that comes to an end will have the one that you chose take its place. : )

2) I also will be posting a new story when I post one of the ones that take over for one of my older ones just because I am eager to get it out there and it has a really good amount of chapters set up so I can start to post. : ) I am super proud of this story like no tomorrow.

Even if you don't vote, I hope you all have a very God bless day.
