 Maka smiled. "Oh he's no bother. Rather a joy to have him around." She didn't react when he put his arm around her shoulder. Just smiled.Musica is also sleeping. Darius nodded. "Society is cruel these days." He sighed. "We can no longer choose our life I guess." Damon nodded. "Alright. Sounds good. I've never had Shepards pie before." He smiled. "Sounds good." Lucibelle went nom nom nom.

 "It is!" Chiyuki began to babble, going into detail about the dish. Every vegetable, meat, and spice that went into it was mentioned. "My favorite meat to put in it is lamb. I mean, who knew something so cute was so delicious!" She frowned slightly, "It almost makes you feel bad for eating the cute little things.""Oh! Mr. Ed!" Momimi called as she carried a large basket of dirty clothes outside, "I set aside two plates for you and Winry for lunch." Ed looked up from his work and smiled at her, "Thank you, Miss Momimi. I bet it will be delicious like always." "I hope so. Mother, Eliza, and Henry seemed to like it, but I can't tell you from personal experience." Ed rose a brow, "Didn't you eat lunch?" She shook her head, "No. I didn't get to eat. It's my punishment this time for losing them in the market today." As if to prove it true, her stomach growl. The man shook his head in disgust. "I wish that woman would treat you better. She wouldn't have this status or power if it wasn't for you father." Momimi laughed, trying to play it off, "It's ok. I'll be fine till dinner. You just enjoy it for me." And she left to do her work. Naps are AWESOME! I like naps..."Tell me about it." Oscar sighed, "Well, in other news, have you talked to the King yet? All the ladies in the Kingdom are saying this ball coming up is just for you to find another bride." He laughed, "At least, that's what they're all hoping. Especially Lady Eliza. Her little group is entirely smitten with you, Darius." "Well then." Don sighed and turned back to Austin, "You are to be back before Sundown. Alright? And be polite to this young lady." He leaned in, "And unless you plan on marrying her, remember not to reveal anything about the fairie Kingdom. Got it?" Austin smiled, "Don, give me some credit. I can do it." The older man just nodded. "Good day, Madam." And he left. Austin waited till the man was out of sight before specking or moving again. He took the girl in his arms in a big hug, "Princess, you are brilliant! From the bottom of my heart, I thank you."

Maka couldn't breath as her held her so tight. "Okay,okay. Just stop smothering me." She finally pushed him back and straightened out her hair. "It's no big deal. One escapee to another that's all." Musica hath awakened! Musica groaned and rolled over in her bed. Great she had dozed off. She woke to the sound of her voice being hollered by Amanda. The oldest between herself, Musica and Clairabelle. Even if she was only minutes older than her twin Clairabelle, she never let anyone forget she was oldest. At least two years older than Musica. "Must you be so loud Amanda? I'm sure the whole kingdom can hear you." She rubbed her eyes and exited her room to find her older sister in the hallway. "You shouldn't be sleeping at this time of day anyway. Father has invited the Rohdes over for lunch and tea tomorrow." Amanda grimaced. "If the dear Count shows up please don't try to advance him. You already get Prince Darius." Amanda seemed to choke out the words and Musica sighed. "You are aware the Count Rohdes is engaged." "So? It's like they say about your engagement. Changes can be made." "But they will not change for Musica." Both girls turned when their father came down the hall. "Good morrow father." Musica bowed respectfully as did Amanda. "Daddy it's not fair..." Amanda started and he shushed her. "You will marry Prince Darius. That is final." Musica didn't let her heart fall to the floor. She knew she couldn't disobey her father. She had no motive to. Not like in those stories where the noble girl runs off with a peasent as he totally changes her character to be who she really was. 'I'm not that princess. And this ain't a fairytale...' She thought to herself. "Of course father." Maybe tomorrow she would just hide in the secret garden or in with the horses so she didn't have to put up with her sisters fawning over the count if he showed. That was the one thing she did disobey to. Hide from her sisters. Darius sighed. "So are the rumors. But the way father is talking and the way her father are talking. It's final. The choice is no longer mine to change if wanted. I am to announce Musica as my bride at the ball." Darius shook his head. It wasn't just his problem. He knew it was very well affecting Musica to. But he didn't even have the choice to go against his father like Musica did. That would lead to banishment. And then the king would have no heir and the whole kingdom would go down in horror. Damon laughed. "You sure do have an odd way of thinking Miss Chiyuki." Lucibelle went nom nom nom.

"Do I?" Chiyuki began to blush. She felt more like she was just rambling, "I'm glad I could entertain you, Mr. Damon." He was so nice! She really liked walking around shopping with him. She usually did it alone during her breaks. This was a nice change. She knew it was only while he was in town, but she would appreciate this time. That's what Master Don always told her. Cherish what you have while you have it and don't envy when you don't have something."Momimi," A little brown bird landed on her shoulder, "Where are you going? I thought you already went into town." "Oh, I thought I'd buy somethings for dessert. I want it to help make up for leaving Mother, Eliza, and Henry at the market." Momimi chuckled, "You know how Eliza loves key lime truffles. I believe Marco is making them today. And mother always loves the cherry cream ones." She swung her arms back and forth, strolling down the dirt road, "And little Henry loves anything I bring him. He's such a good boy." Unlike her Step-mother and Eliza, Henry was very kind to Momimi. He loved his big sister. I like naps. Maybe I should take one more often.... Then watch POWER RANGERS SAMURAI!"That's too bad." Oscar nodded. "I'm sure you two will find happiness in the end, though. Like I said, you two are friends, so it's not like you'll make each other miserable." He put on a light smile, "And you two won't be alone on the whole 'marrying someone you don't love romantically'. Pretty much everyone in the Kingdom is in that boat." "Yes yes, of course." Austin laughed, "So, what is your favorite thing to do around here? It's so different from where I come from. I want to know this place like the back on my hand eventually." He held up his hand for emphasis. "I will be living here for awhile, after all."

Maka had to think about it. "Hmm. Probably playing all the games with the little kids. You don't get to play opscotch or hide-n-seek in a manor." She pouted lightly. She tied her hair up with a light green ribbon. Musica didn't want to stay home. She got relief though when her sisters left to go watch Jousting. She sighed and sat in the library. Maybe she'd find a good book to read. She decided on the stables for her hideout tomorrow. She didn't really need to meet the count right? Most the time he didn't show up anyway. Just his father. She'd hang out with the horses. Darius laughed. "We live in a messed up world." He looked down and that's when he noticed a button missing from his coat. "Oh, I guess it fell off when I was helping that girl." He scrunched his nose. The gold inlayed button was probably gone forever now. He sighed then went back to his and Oscar's conversaton. He smirked. "I'm suprised your not chasing another skirt to get away from Shelby. I'm sure you're desperate by now." He laughed as he grew thirsty. He pulled a string that rang to the kitchen. "I wonder what they prepared for lunch..." Damon smiled. "Nah, It's nice to have someone doing the talking for once. I usually blabber." He laughed. "It's starting to get late, should we hurry? Don't want your people to think the gardener kidnapped you." He winked. Lucibelle heard the ring and grabbed two bowls of the miso soup and put them on a silver tray. She then placed a few butter cookies on the side for desert and prepared some tea then carried it out. She sighed on her way to the library. Shelby was still tainting her mind. "spoiled rotten brat..." "Who's spoiled rotten?" She jumped lightly as Shelby stood behind her. "oh, my sister my lady." "Well tell Oscar I will visit him tomorrow. I must go shopping." Lucibelle silently cheered as Shelby walked away. Upon reaching the library she had a bright smile on her face. She set the tray down infront of them. "I am to announce Shelby's retreat for the day."

The small fairie nodded. She gathered the rest of the items on her shopping list and led Damon back out of town towards her home. "Are you sure you don't need any, Mr. Damon?""They look so good." Momimi awed, looking through the glass, "And I never knew they came in these different sizes." The brown bird on her shoulder nodded. "I wish I had enough to get myself one." Momimi could remember when her mother would bring her home an apple pie truffle. It was both her and her mother's favorite. "Let's see. .. I have just enough for 3 large truffles. They should be happy." "Master Aniken." One of Aniken's housekeepers, Leon, knocked on the door, "You've been invited by Duke Lexington to Lunch tomorrow. Shall I confirm your attendance?" Aniken turned in his chair towards Leon, "Are you coming with me?" He asked with a playful tone. Leon sighed, "Well I guess so if we're playing your little game again. Honestly, I don't know why you do that to these poor girls.""Oh, I'll get someone. I'm on the look out for the next girl right now, but I'm not sure who to chose." Oscar chuckled. He stopped for a moment as the door opened, but sighed in relief when he saw it was just Lucibelle. A wide smiled played on his lips as she announced Shelby's departure, "Thank you, Luke. You don't know how relieved I am to hear you say that." "Then please, lead the way." Austin bowed, "I wish to play these games." He smiled and followed Maka down the road back to where she was before.
OOC// I just realized that Maka and Austin haven't properly introduced themselves yet lol. I'll try to fit it in later.

Maka smiled. "Their so much fun! And the village kids always have the best hiding places." She laughed and led him back to where she had been playing hopscotch earleir. She threw a tiny stone and jumped the squares until that stone. "Alright. You try." Musica sighed and went to the garden to ease her mind. She wondered how tomorrow would go. Darius smiled when Lucibelle came in. "Ah, it smells wonderful." He glanced from Lucibelle to Oscar. As she turned to leave he stopped her. "Why don't you sit with us Lucibelle. It's been awhile since we all actually sat down and talked." He knew technically she wasnt suppposed to but she was his friend and he used to help sneak her out of duties to hang out every now and again. Damon looked around and thought about it for a moment. "No actually. I think I have everything i need." He smiled to her. Lucibelle turned when Darius called her back. She leaned out the door and checked the hall to check for Helga. No sign of her. She smiled and pulled a chair around to sit with the boys. "I guess we're all just so busy now we don't have time to be friends." She smiled softly. She knew she wasn't supposed to be their friend. She wasn't royalty. She was a servant. "You two have your engagement and Helga's been keeping me extra busy these days."

"Alright, back to the house then." The two made their way back, walking for a good 20 minutes before the cottages came into view, Don's large one and Chiyuki's smaller one. Shae ran ahead to peak into the door, "Uh, just want to make sure the home is in good condition for guests, heh heh." She called back to Damon. The fairie went inside, ran up stairs, and found Ruski sleeping on their bed, "Ruski, we have a human guest! Disguise tactic 12!" The pandragon, half awake, nodded and turned into a miniature pig, going back to sleep. Chiyuki face palmed, "No, that's number 3..." But Ruski was fast asleep and Damon was waiting outside, so she didn't have time to fix it. Chiyuki quickly picked up the house and let Damon in, "Sorry that took awhile."Momimi is going to pick out truffles. Aniken is riding horses, falalalala!Oscar pouted, "Well then, we'll just have to find time." He stood and went to his secret hiding place in the library. He rummaged through the things in there until he pulled out some commoner clothes, "Are you two free for the day?" He smiled and presented the 2 sets of commoner clothes to them, "How about we go and visit the town?" Austin nodded. He picked up a stone and copied the girl's actions, tossing the stone and hopping to it 2 squares behind her. "What next?" He was starting to have fun. The human world was so interesting.

She threw a tiny stone and jumped the squares until that stone. "Alright. You try." Musica sniffed flowers. Darius laughed. "SOunds like fun." He took one of the pairs from him. Damon gave an odd look as he was left waiting outside for a few minutes. Then she popped back out and invited him in. "I totally understand." He laughed. Lucibelle grinned. "Hurry up and get dressed. Let's go!" She said totally forgetting her manners. "Uh, I mean. If that's what the two of you wish." She bowed respectively.

"Please, make yourself at home." Chiyuki replied as she went into the kitchen, "Would you like something to drink? I can fetch something for you if you like?""They'll be open for a while. Maybe we should go wonder around. What do you think, Pappy?" She asked the bird, who intern nodded, "Lets see." She tapped her chin and looked around. Since it was a beautiful day, why not go to the park? Or even the street fair? There was always something interesting happening there. Aniken is riding horses, falalalala!Following the prince's actions, Oscar changed his clothing. He took out an old leather band and tied his hair back, messing it up a bit. "There. No one will recognize us now since they all think we wouldn't be caught dead is these." He laughed, walking to the door and offering his arm to Lucibelle, "Shall we, my lady?" Austin nodded. He picked up a stone and copied the girl's actions, tossing the stone and hopping to it 2 squares behind her. "What next?" He was starting to have fun. The human world was so interesting.

Maka laughed. "Now you pick it up and hop back." She watched him and was quite amused. How has he never heard of hop scotch before? Musica sniffed flowers. Darius chuckled lightly as he knew Lucibelle was trying not to blush. "Let's go to the street carnival." Damon walked in and sat down in a chair. "It's a nice little place you havehere." he ackowledged. "Aa, tea is fine." Lucibelle pushed the blush that threatened to decorate her cheeks down. "Uh y-yeah." She took hold of his arm and the three walked out of the library and soon exited the palace. It wasn't a long walk to the small village below.

"Right." Chiyuki went into the kitchen and filled her kettle with water and placed it over the small fire in the fireplace. "So, what brings you here to Avalonia? Are you just here for Master Din's garden, or are you going to the palace too?"
Meanwhile, a half asleep Ruski, still in the disguise of a miniature pig, wondered down stairs."Wow, look at all the games, Momimi!" Pappy chirped, flying beside her head. Momimi looked around in awe herself. The Street Carnival was larger than she thought, filled with many thing and many people. And the decorations! Snowy blossoms with hints of pinks, lavenders, and blues surround the area, giving it beauty. "It's so lovely, Pappy. I wonder what we should do first." Aniken is riding horses, falalalala!"I don't think we've been to the street carnival like this in a long time." Oscar replied as they enter the crowded carnival, "I think the last time we were here was during the flower festival for the beauty contest." His mind brought back memories of Leslie, his last girl and winner of the beauty contest. Now she was a fun girl. The time with her was perfect before Shelby found out. Not that he was messing with Leslie, but that Leslie even near him for a moment. Oh well. There were other girls. "So, what shell we do first, Luke?" "Wow! This is so much fun!" Austin cheered, playing the game over and over again. He was having a hell of a good time. It was like watching a child, actually. Then he spotted a bushy, golden furred dog. His eyes went big and the Prince walked over to it, "Hello, what are you, sir? I don't believe I have met your species before."

Maka watched Austin. "Um, that's Pippy and he is what we call a dog. Are you serious that you've never seen a dog before." She went over and pat the dog's head. "He's like the villages permanent stray." Musica sighed as she watched her sisters get in a carriage. "We're going to the street festival in hopes that Count Rohdes will be there." Clairabelle announced. "Oh, or maybe perhaps Prince Darius." Amanda smirked. Her dresses top cut low to show her cleavage. Musica just nodded. She didn't want to go but then again maybe she should just to get away. "I'll come to." She sat opposite her sisters in the carriage and fiddled with her black hair. She got her father's hair while her sister's got her mother's blonde hair. In musica's mind they were much prettier than her. Bother their hairs long and curly while hers was straight and short for a girl at this time era. She got her mother's teal eyes though while her sister's got their father's boring blue. "I know your engaged to Prince Darius and all but don't try and steal my spotlight." Amanda proclaimed. "Don't worry Amanda. I'd rather blend in and you can flirt with him as you please." Muscia found a plain white hat under the seat and slipped it on. She'd rather stay unrecognized. Darius drifted away from Lucibelle and Oscar knowing Lucibelle would enjoy the alone time with him. He wondered over to a sweets shop. "Hmm. I'll have some of your strawberry tarts please. Oh, and some blackberry ones as well." He smiled to the young girl behind the counter. His blue bangs sheilding his eyes lightly so she couldn't tell it was him. Damon smiled as he saw the pig. "Aw, your cute. Come here." He motioned the pig over and pat his lap. "Ah, well there's Master Din, then a trip to the Rohdes estate to work on their jousting track. I'm going to be staying with a friend so maybe I'll stay till after this festival thing you were talking about earlier." Lucibelle thought back to the the last festival she had snuck out to see. It wasn't a very happy one for her. She had snuck out to see if she could finally tell Oscar how she felt but he had been with another girl. And she was so pretty and even won the beauty contest. She couldn't bring herself to even approach him. It was then that she vouged she would try to lose her crush for Oscar because she just didn't belong with him. She was failing so far. She looked around but it seemed Darius had disappered leaving it to be just her and Oscar. "Hmm, how about the pie eating contest. I bet I could eat more pie then you." She gave him a challenging smirk. For now she would be as close as she could to Oscar as his friend but she knew that today was the last time she could be if she was going to stay to her own promise. She would milk today to it's last drop then distance herself from him as much as possible.

"I see." Chiyuki smiled, "Well, I hear Sir Rohdes is very nice and has a wonderful garden. Third best in the Kingdom actually, with the Royal family's garden being number one, of course." She commented. "Maybe that could be a stop for you too. I'm sure they'd pay you handsomely."
Ruski hobbled over to the gardener, hopping easily into his lap. It helped when your true form could fly. But she had to be careful of course to make it look like a jump.Momimi walked around, stopping by the sweets shop to look inside. "Wow, look at those, Pappy! Those tarts look delicious, don't they?" She examined them, all sorted into their flavor groups, "Maybe they would like these better than the truffles. They're a bit bigger and a lot healthier too." Momimi smiled, "It's a good thing they don't close till later. I have some time. As far as I know, I'm not needed at home till dinner." She stood straight and turned, the spotting the village square, filled with people participating in traditional dancing. Momimi could remember when she would go onto the dance floor with her parents before her mother died. It was always so much fun. "Come on, let's dance." "I'm heading out, Leon. Would you like to come to the festival too." Aniken asked as he began to walk out the door. The other young man shook his head, "I have quite a bit to do here, if you remember." His master laughed, "I'm sure you wouldn't get in trouble, since father is out on one of his trips, leaving me in charge." But he wouldn't have it, so, shrugging his shoulders, Aniken left for the Festival."Oh really?" Oscar raised his brow, grinning, "Alright, challenge accepted. Lead the way, my lady." He chuckled. He could always be himself with her. Lucibelle and Darius were the only people he could relax around. And he liked it that way. "Of course. There are no dogs in Hakusho." Austin answered, face serious. He was not joking around. There were no dogs in Hakusho. Only fairie animals resided there. "So you have no home?" Austin asked, then frowning. How said for someone not to have a home, "Do you want a home, Mister Pippy?" The dog was too cute! How could he not offer to take him home. Even for a night to nourish it.

Maka laughed. "I'm sure Pippy would love a warm place to sleep." AS if in reply the dog barked and wagged it's tail. Musica stepped out of the carriage after her sister's rushed out in search for the count or the prince. Musica smiled lightly as she looked out on all the happy people dancing or laughing. She made her way over to the game where you have to throw the ball and knock the empty milk bottles over. She smirked knowing she could win with her excellent aim. So she stepped up and dropped a few coins on the counter. She watched as a little girl attempted to win the little stuffed bear and failed and started to cry. She smiled lightly and threw her ball knocking them over. She chose out the bear and snuck up behind the little girl. "Crying only ever hides a beautiful face." She handed the bear to the girl and the girl's eyes lite up and she grinned before running off. Darius popped a few tarts in his mouth when a little girl pulled him into the square to dance. He laughed and danced with her. Many other little girls came around asking when it was there turn and he smiled sweetly down at them. "How about we all dance together." He lifted the smallest one to be on his shoulders and took the other two's hands and they danced around in circles laughing. SOme people stopped to watch and smiled as their daughters had found a nice gentleman to bug instead of them. Damon nodded and pat the pig's head. "Maybe I might just do that." He smiled. "I've heard of the royal garden being amazing." Lucibelle grinned and grabbed his hand and pulled him toward the pie eating tables and took there seats. "Ready, Begin!" Lucibelle started stuffing her face.
