Teana shifted as she was breaking out of her sleep; she could feel Atem's arms wrapped tightly around her waist. As her eyes slowly opened, she moved her arms to cover her skin better with the blanket. She decided cuddling a couple more minutes with Atem before she completely got up wasn't a bad idea. She closed her eyes and shuffled more into her bed and closer to Atem. As she shut her eyes, she was lulled more into sleep and quickly fell fast asleep again.

In the meantime... Atem woke up yawning. As he shifted to get up, he realized his arms were still under and wrapped around Teana. It restricted him from getting out of bed. He gently slid his arm from underneath his sleeping wife and proceeded to kiss her forehead as he stood up.

"Mmmm..." Teana mumbled as she opened her eyes. Her eyes still not wide open, she continued to slowly open and close them as she smiled and said "Atem."

Atem nodded as Teana fully opened her eyes. "I am going to go bathe and get ready, alright?" He slightly tilted his head, hovering over he.

Teana nodded as she covered up more and pulled up the blanket. Atem smiled. After Atem left, Teana laid on the bed for a couple more minutes and then decided it would be best to get up now. It was best to now, before the knock came on her door to make sure the royal couple were up. After showering in her bathroom, she met with Shukura and Maibe in her dressing room.

"My lady sure seems happy today." Shukura commented.

"Hm?"

"I agree. She seems to be in a bit of daze today, do you not agree? She keeps smiling." Maibe grinned.

"Pshh." Teana waved her hand. "I do not know what you speak of."

"Oh please. So did something happen with your prince?" Shukura insisted Teana tell all.

Teana slightly blushed and shrugged after slipping on her emerald dress. "We talked. He brought me some blue roses and..."

"He brought you roses!" Maibe exclaimed.

"Oh, how romantic." Shukura joined her hands and brought them close to her cheeks. "So I suppose you two reconciled?"

Teana rolled her eyes. "Yes. He apologized and I forgave him and then..."

"You made love and everything became wonderful." Maibe interrupted, smiling mischievously. Teana's face turned a couple shades of pink until it became a very dark color indeed.

"Stop teasing the poor girl." Shukura scolded Maibe. "Teana and the love of her life just reconciled. We should be extremely happy for them. Nothing like a good reconciliation between a couple." She grinned.

Teana made a face. "Aggh." She threw her hand up in the air. "You two are unbelievable!"

Maibe and Shukura giggled. "Come now!" Maibe scolded while shoving Teana out the door. "You shall be late for breakfast." Teana just grunted at her, as she was pushed out the door.

Mana could hear the murmurs of laughter radiating from the courtyard. She smiled. She looked inwardly at the doorway to the courtyard seeing Atem and Teana sitting together. She was glad Atem had made amends. She did not take a liking to see both of her friends in bad spirits. She peeked at them once more seeing Atem lean in to kiss Teana's lips as the girl responded and wrapped her arms around her Prince. They were such a lovely couple. Mana sighed and smiled, turning around to go to her lesson with Mahad, obviously fashionably late.

Teana and Atem were walking their fingers intertwined as they walked the halls of the palace talking in happy hushed tones. Mana could see their happy aura radiating off them. Oh how she wished she could have let them be. "Atem!" She yelled out.

Atem turned his head, as did Teana. The lovely couple smiled at her. "Aah, Mana." Atem's deep voice rang out.

"Atem." She said in a serious voice.

This got the couple's attention. Mana...was never serious unless she needed to be. Teana tilted her head in confusion.

"Mana...what is it?" Teana asked her.

Mana looked at her and then turned to Atem. "Atem..." she began. "Your father...he is ill." She said softly.

Atem's eyes immediately widened and he let go of Teana's hand. "Nothing serious of course? Right?"

"Atem..." Mana began again. "The healer's are unsure of his condition and illness... they are unsure of his state and if he will get better or not."

"I must see him at once!" Atem boomed abruptly turning, his cape swishing behind him.

"Atem..." Teana whispered with her hand slightly reaching out in his direction as Atem swiftly walked away. She brought her hand back down and met eyes with Mana, both their eyes shining with concern for the Pharaoh and Atem.

Phew! Ok another chapter for you guys. Surprised I updated? I know I am! I know it was a bit short, but it's been a while and I think you guys would like at least some update. Therefore, the next chapter will be a bit short as well. So finally Atem and Teana make peace and they're both very happy now. They're trying to make amends and spend time with each other, but then this happens...

****Also, I have a POLL up about what you'd like to happen in the story. I kind of already have an idea what I want to do, but your input is appreciated regardless.

**I'm also likely to post a new story up in the next coming month or so. I didn't plan on starting a new story until this one was over, but it'll be a short fanfiction. The pairing will be Spiritshipping (YugixAnzuxYami) so yes it will include both Revolutionshipping/Vanishshipping and Peachshipping. Be sure to look out for that! I'm really excited about writing it.

Until next time and a Happy Early New Years to everyone! :)
