Thank you for all the reviews. I'm absolutely stoked. Please keep them coming. And I'm sorry this chapters a bit plain.

Chapter Five

'Morning' Alana said, looking up into Azkadellia's eyes. It had been only a couple of days since they first kissed and Alana was still thrilled that Az had chosen to be with her.

'Morning' Az replied, leaning in for a kiss, marvelling at the feeling once again.

A few minutes later, a knock at the door broke the two apart.

'Come in' Az consented. DG walked in, grinning broadly.

'Well I can see you two are having fun'

'Oh shut up, by the way how's Jeb?' Az said.

'None of your business' DG said, eyes lighting up.

'Oh DG got some action' Alana said, laughing.

'I refuse to talk to you anymore' DG. 'Mother wants to talk to you Az'

'Ok, give me a minute' Az said. DG rolled her eyes and walked out to find Jeb, knowing it was his day off.

Ten minutes, and many kisses, later Az walked into the throne room where her parents were sitting.

'Azkadellia' Lavender began. 'Your father and I have noticed that you have been spending a lot of time with Alana of late'

'Yes' Az confirmed. Are they going to stop us being together just because she's a woman, she started to wonder about her parents views on her orientation.

'We have no arguments about you being with her just as long as you are both happy together' Lavender said. Az nodded, relieved. 'Ok then, would you mind telling DG that Ambrose, Cain, Duke Charles and Alana, are going to dine with us, tonight and I would like you both present'

'Of course mother' Az said.

'Thank you' and with that Az said her goodbyes and left her parents to take counsel with Ambrose and Cain.

'DG, mother's going to be here any second now' Az called out from behind her sister's bedroom door.

'Ahhh' she heard her sister's yell followed by a thump.

'Jeb, put your shirt on' DG was telling him off.

About half a minute later, Jeb walked out and greeted Az.

'Hi'

'Hello Jeb' Azkadellia said, amused.

'Umm, would you mind not telling Her Majesty about this?' Jeb said, looking like he was ready to run.

'Sure, but she might already know, she knows about me and Alana and we've been slightly more subtle than you and DG' Az said. Slightly being an understatement.

'Damn' Jeb cursed. 'Anyway I've got to go.'

'Bye' Az laughed.

DG was straightening her bed when Az walked in. Abandoning the attempt she came over to hug her sister.

'Hey Az'

'Hey Deeg'

'I'm guessing mum isn't coming'

'Nope' they both started laughing.

'Come on, I'll help you hide the evidence' Az said. They fixed the bed together than jumped on it and laid next to each other.

'We're all having dinner tonight, us, mother, father, Ambrose, Cain, Alana and Duke Charles'

'Fun' DG said. They both started to laugh again, knowing how much DG hated to have to act the princess part.

'Look on the bright side, Cain might bring Jeb' Az said, then giggled as her sister face brightened.

'Ouch!' DG exclaimed. She and Azkadellia were getting dresses for the dinner and so far the only time DG had opened her mouth was to cry out in pain.

At least she refrained from insulting her, Az thought, thinking about the first couple of times she had taken DG for a fitting. The seamstress had nearly started to give as good as she got, if it weren't for Azkadellia and some quick diplomacy, they would have had to find a seamstress.

'I think that the dress is wonderful as it was, mistress' Az said quickly, seeing DG was ready with an insult. The seamstress stepped back and looked appraisingly up and down at the deep, red dress that came to just above her ankles.

Azkadellia on the other hand was in a baby blue dress that reached to the floor.

'I think you may be right' DG threw a grateful glance at her sister as the dress was re-adjusted.

'Hello, can we come in?' voice from outside said.

'Yes'

In walked Jeb and Ambrose.

'May we accompany you fine ladies to the dining room?' Ambrose asked, eloquently hold out his arm for Azkadellia.

'Of course' she replied, resting her arm on his, and together they walked out.

'DG, you look amazing' Jeb said, staring at his girlfriend.

'And you look very handsome tonight' DG said and laughed at Jeb's blush.

'May I accompany you to dinner' he asked, holding his arm in the same fashion as Ambrose.

'Definitely' DG replied, and together they walked out.

Aren't Jeb and DG so cute, and if anyone's annoyed that I said they're boyfriend/girlfriend, then sorry but they've progressed more than Azkadellia and Alana.

Please Review, it motivates me.
