Cira took a deep breath and stared at the device in front of her.
"Our kingdom is connected through others by teleportation devices," her mother's voice echoed in her ears. Cira chewed on her thumbnail nervously and paced back and forth.
"If I get in," she began to reason with herself, "I can go to Earth. Mother doesn't mind if I go to Earth." She nodded. "But I'm going to see him," she sighed, "and I know that's not allowed." She continued to pace back and forth. "Mother broke a taboo and there were no repercussions," she said to the machine, "she married the dark prince."
"If you're going to go," a man said from behind her, "you should go now." Cira turned around and saw Jadeite standing there.
"Jadeite," she stammered, "I wasn't…" Jadeite raised his hand and silenced her.
"I have no intention of telling you how to live your life," he smiled, "just promise me you'll be careful." Cira nodded and Jadeite gave her a push inside the machine. "Hurry back," he smiled and waved as she disappeared from the kingdom. Cira was hurled through space until she reached Earth.
"Princess," Celino called out to her and smiled. Cira blushed and walked halfway to him. For once she felt calm and peaceful. Celino grabbed her hand.
"I want to show you something," he smiled as he led her through a garden. He stopped in the middle of the garden and released her hand. He crossed his arms and smiled feeling quite pleased with himself. A brook ran through the middle of the garden. Cira knelt down and placed her hand in the stream. Celino watched as excitement filled her eyes. A few fish brushed up against her as they swam by her. Cira jumped to her feet and followed the stream to the river.
"Celino," she called to him, "you just have to see this." Celino followed her voice and stared out at all the animals that sat near the river. Her eyes danced wildly reflecting the sun's light. She sat down and tucked her legs under her dress. A warm breeze blew her golden curls around her face. The sun hung high in the sky above them. "This planet is filled with so much wonder," her soft voice whispered. Celino sat beside her and stared at her.
"Yeah," he sighed happily. Out of the corner of her eye Cira caught Celino gazing at her.
"What?" She asked. "Is there something on my face?" Celino caressed her face causing her heart to race. He brought his face close to hers and closed his eyes.
"Your heart is asking to be silenced," he whispered to her then kissed her lips gently and sweetly. All at once a flood of emotions rushed over her heart and then just as quickly as they came, they disappeared giving her a calm and peaceful feeling.
"This must be what Zoicite meant," she thought to herself as she closed her eyes. Celino broke the kiss and smiled at Cira then jumped to his feet. Cira watched him feeling a bit confused.
"Her lips stole my first kiss," he shouted to the wildlife around him, "but her eyes stole my heart." He smiled down at her and watched as her face turned red. Cira covered her face and turned away from him.
"Celino," she gasped, "sit down." He smiled down at her.
"Make me," he laughed. Cira reached up and grabbed the sleeve of his coat then pulled him down. He fell onto her and blushed. Cira smiled up at him and wrapped her arms around him. She trapped his lips with a kiss then turned away from him and smiled.
"It looks like I made you," she giggled coyly as Celino stared down at her.
"Indeed you did."
