~|Is Anyone Else Scared Now?|~
You could hear a pin drop in the room.
I am stunned. I stand there, and absently notice a beautiful diamond engagement ring in Cody's outstretched paw. After about ten minutes, I start to stutter and talk gibberish.
I- ugh- agah acka- ssss... uh...I- I...
After a while I snap out of it, and grab Cody's empty paw. I need a word with you, I say, and drag him to my bedroom and slam the door shut.
Yes? Cody asks, as if this is normal.
Uh... HELLO?! Have you got a BRAIN?! First you show up at my karate class- yes, I remember that- then you outlaw us and let me have half my memory erased, and THEN you have the GUTS to come here and ask me to marry you? Who do you think you are?
The king.
Oh yeah. Anyway, have you lost your MIND?! Why didn't you just ask me to go out with you instead of doing all this? Why get your cousin to set me up and knock us down when we least expect it?
'Cause it's funner this way. Now, will you marry me, Lucky? I've always had this massive crush on you... And, well, I am the king...
You're crazy. I need a minute to think. But, if I agree, do I have to kiss you?
...Eventually.
I pace the floor, back and forth, my mind whirling. This could mean freedom for me and my friends, this one tiny thing. Well, tiny for them. For me- that's a whole other story.
Well?
I don't know, I say, desperate, All I want is to go home.
Well then, Cody says, Let's go home.
He grabs me and takes me outside to a helicopter. I get in, and, miraculously, Cody lifts us up into the air. We fly for around ten minutes in silence.
You know I'm scared, right? He looks at me, surprised.
Of heights?
No, idiot! You're scaring me, cody. Seriously. Despite the fact that this is one of my better days, I am utterly freaked out and confused.
We land after another ten minutes. I climb out of the helicopter, but only the tiniest gasp passes my lips as I look at my home.
Except, there's nothing.
Just charred rubble, and smoke everywhere The entire city, just gone. Old corpses litter the streets.
What... happened?
The country is at war, Lucky. Cody looks at me. This has been difficult. I need you. Lucky-
Yes?
Will you marry me?
I turn away from the ruined landscape and look at him. I stare into his eyes, and my next words change my life forever.
Yes.

MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MORE MOOOOOOORRRRRRREEEEE!!!!!

[Rebel Faery]

Ok!

We fly back to the lodge, and by Cody's delighted face and my what-am-i-doing-I-must-be-crazy face, everyone knows my answer. We pack our stuff quickly.
You agreed? Aaron asks later as we get on a plane to go home (well, to Sterria, the capital city).
Yeah. And?
Why?
Because. And no, he didn't blackmail me.
Leave it, Aaron, Jess says, completing the row. Mum, Dad, Kiya and Indy are behind us; and Book, Heather and Rayla are to the front. Phoenix went home once he knew he could.
We land in a couple of hours. Cody takes us to the palace. It is amazing: a honey-rose coloured structure with two turrets, rising above all the others. He makes us wait in the courtyard a bit, then returns with Micky, Rhythm, Cindy and two other dogs I don't know.
Micky speaks (his words will be in reddy-orange):
Welcome back to our glorious country- which is now at war with the other two countries of the Vere Glacies. Each of you will be given a position- but first, may I introduce Joshua- head of servants- and Night, Princess Cindy's and Prince Rhythm's mother.
This is Josh: And this is Night: .
Now, I will call out a register. You are to stand apart from the others and join others given your ranks.
Aaron - Army
Jessica - Free Roamer
Book - Royal tutor
Heather - Royal Guard
Lilac - Artist
Harry - Servant
Indigo - Servant
Kiya - Artist
Rayla - servant
What does Free Roamer mean? Jess asks.
It means you are free to do what you want. You may leave.
Jess smiles, and hugs Aaron tight. I'll find you, he promises. She then hugs me. I'll never forget you, Lucky. You're my best friend.
Tears catch in my throat. Goodbye. I stare after her as she leaves. Josh takes Indy, Dad and Rayla away. I watch them go, and it's like watching my world fall to pieces.
Rhythm pulls Aaron away, and Night takes Kiya and Mum. Book is taken by Micky.
I am left alone with Cindy and Cody.
Hiya Lucky!
Hi traitor. I fiddle with the ring on my finger. It gleams at me in the sunlight.
Oh, but I'll be a big part of your wedding! I'm going to be the bridesmaid!
Can Indy and Kiya be bridesmaids too?
If you want. Now let's go inside. You're a Princess, today, Lucky. And next week... Next week, you'll be Queen.

Yay! More! This is so good!

[Rebel Faery]

Maybe another time. I'm going to make some banners now

[star star.]

Oh. Okay. How do you make them? I your way?

[Rebel Faery]

Oh, the banners? The easiest way is to use glitterfly or mybannermaker, but I can tell you how I made the ones in my siggy. Hold on a minute and I'll PM ya!

[• DEFY THE CAPITOL •]

AWESOME! I really can't wait for more!!

[Rebel Faery]

Thanks! Probably more tomorrow... Today is the last day of the school holidays 

[Rebel Faery]

My dad is an hour late picking me up, so I'll write a little more...

I follow Cindy and Cody into a large foyer. It's covered in creamy marble with a rich red, gold-trimmed carpet flowing down the middle. White marble columns surround us, and I reach out and touch them.
I follow them through huge ornate doors on the other side to a throneroom. The room is thin and long, with a red carpet flowing between columns to a raised platform at the other end. On the platform are two thrones made of gold, with red curtains behind them. Galleries, like the ones you find in theatres, line the Walls, which are painted a dark crimson, with lamps hung upon them every so often.
Again, I follow them to the end of the hall, where Cody opens a small wooden door hidden by the curtains.
We come out in a room coated with white marble. There are several staircases, and Cody leads me up the centre one, which seems to be the most grand.
I'll see you at dinner, he says, and walks back down the stairs. I'm left with Cindy.
Hello, I say warily.
Follow me. So I follow her. She leads me down several corridors and passageways before opening a door.
This is your room. I'll collect you in two hours for dinner. She turns and leaves.
I walk into the room and shut the door. I then turn to survey the room and gasp.
On a raised platform is a four-poster bed decked out in pink. The Walls have a soft pink wallpaper, and in the floor is soft carpet. In the centre of the room is a marble swan fountain, and there's a huge window showing the whole city.
I am detecting a definite theme in here.
In one corner is a large antique oak wardrobe. I go over to it and open it; inside, I find many beautiful dresses. On the same wall is a dressing table, decked out with make up, perfumes and jewelry. Through a door is a swan-themed en suite.
I think I've died and gone to heaven.
