Chapter Eight
I heard a knock on my door. I groaned rolling over to my side. The bed was the most comfortable thing ever with silky blankets.
"Luna go get it," I mumbled, still half asleep.
She groaned but got up anyway. I watched her as she walked towards the door. She opened the door then frozed and blushed.
"Ummm, good morning Prince Asa," Luna said, curtsying with her night gown on and looking at the ground.
He smiled and looked her up and down. Ooh he's checking her out.
"Morning, I just came to say that we're having breakfast in ten minutes,"
"Oh okay," she said glancing at him and then looked at the ground again.
He left and she closed the door quickly.
"Oh my gosh, that was the worst thing that could have ever happen!"
"Why?" I asked, smiling at her because she was freaking out.
"Because I looked like this," she gestured to herself, "When Prince Asa came,"
I giggled, "Yeah, but he was checking you out, trust me, he looked pleased."
She groaned and slid to the floor.
"Come on Miss Dramatic, let's get ready for breakfast,"
I opened the closet door and looked for a nice, simple dress to wear.
"I wonder why she brought us to a nice room," Luna says as she comes in the room.
"Probably because the Prince is here and the ball is today, she doesn't want us to look tired and stinky. She'll probably throw us back in dungeon tomorrow,"
Luna nodded and looked for a dress. I searched through a rack and looked at the tags to make sure it fitted me. They all did. Weird. I saw my moms name on one of the dresses. I gasped.
"Are you okay?" Luna asks and comes over to me, holding a cute, light blue dress.
I say nothing and pointed at the tag.
"Is it your mom's dress?"
"I don't know, it must be. If it isn't then why would it be here?"
She shrugged, "I have no clue. You should wear it though its cute,"
I nod. It is cute. A nice pastel color of pink. I take the dress to the bathroom and put it on the hanger. I take a quick shower and braid my hair, then put the dress on. I walk out of the bathroom and see Luna putting lip gloss on.
I smile, "Trying to impress someone?"
She rolls her eyes, "No comment. You already know,"
I laugh and then we walk out the door.
"Umm, problem," I say, looking around.
"What?"
"I have no clue where the dining room is, do you?"
"Nope,"
"I'll lead you there," Prince Asa says coming from our right, "You girls look lovely today,"
We both curtsy, "So do you, Prince," Luna says.
He smiles at her and she blushes.
"This way then,"
----------------------------------------------------------
We arrived at the dining room.
"You'll girls will each sit beside me," Prince Asa says walking towards the long, marble table.
Luna clutched my hand.
"Ow!" I say.
"Sorry, I can't sit by him all alone. I'll embarrass myself," she whispers quickly.
"You'll be fine," I say, reassuringly, "I'll just be one the other side of him,"
"Still!"
He pulls out a chair for Luna and smiles. She smiles and looks at the ground as she sits in the chair. I giggle and she glares at me. Prince Asa does the same for me and he sits down in between us. Queen Jess came in and sat in front of us instead of the main chair.
"I'm glad you girls made it here okay," she smiled.
"Prince Asa helped us here," Luna said.
"Oh did he? That was lovely then," she says looking at Prince Asa.
He nods and then the waiters came with the food. I see Prince Asa glancing at me and then at Queen Jess. He does it again.
"I can't help notice that you, Queen Jess, look somewhat similar to Juliet. Are you related?" he asks.
She laughs, "Oh, no. We get told that a lot but we aren't related in any way, shape, or form,"
I was about to protest, but then she gives me a look. I smile and nod. We eat our breakfast until we are almost full.
"The ball this evening will be wonderful, I invited many other Prince and Princesses from other kingdoms," Queen Jess says.
She gives me another look as to say, you better not leave with him.
Prince Asa smiles, "That's wonderful,"
We finish our breakfast and stand up. We all curtsy to Queen Jess and she leaves. Luna looks a little tired.
"Are you alright Luna?" I say worried.
"No, I'm fine. Just a little headache," she says.
Prince Asa asks us if he wants to lead us back to our room and we nod. Luna walks slower than usually. Prince Asa walks beside her helping her.
"Thank you," she says.
"No problem, Miss," he says.
We were almost to our room, when Luna all of the sudden falls to the ground.
"Luna!" I say.
"Go get another maid that can help her, I'll take her to my room," he says, picking her up.
I nod, watching him carrying her away. They look cute together. I quickly walk back to the dining room and ask for a maid that could help Luna. A pretty maid came with a box of medical supplies. We walk back to Prince Asa's room. I open the door and see that Luna was awake on Prince Asa's bed. Prince Asa was sitting beside her and they were almost kissing.
