This next Chapter is dedicated to the two, and only two, ABSOLUTELY WONDERFUL people who reviewed the story, seeing as how no one else seems to want to know what happens!!!!!! PLEASE PPL!! R+R OR E-mail! Dannigirlsos@yahoo.com Chapter 2- Terra and Damion "Ah, princess, I thought I'd find you here," Prince Damion walked in to the Golden Palace Gardens early in the morning. "When am I ever anywhere else?" The princess smiled sweetly form her typical position sitting near the pond waiting for the sun to rise. Damion walked over and sat down beside her, "Never I suppose," he chuckled, "What is it with you and this place anyway?" "Oh, can't you feel it? It's in the flowers, in the water, even in the air!" She said passionately, "There's life all around! Unlike in those palace halls," she glared at the door leading back into the arched hallways. "You're so full of energy and excitement, Terra, now if you'd only put that passion into being a princess...." he said as he pushed a stray piece of hair out of her face, leaving those sparkling midnight blue eyes to turn and look at him somewhat rebelliously. She positioned her body to lean back onto the strong, familiar figure of Damion and said under her breath, "Never mind, You're so bent on doing things the way they are supposed to be done, I wouldn't expect you to understand..." They sat in silence seeing the sunrise together, as they had done many times before in their 16 years of knowing each other. "Why can't anyone understand?" Terra thought as she watched the great orange globe push away the curtian of night, "Am I the only one who feels this way? All I've ever wanted is to see what's out there, beyond that horizon, past our kingdom and all the other kingdoms. I know there's more to see, more beauty and wonder. As Princess of Earth, I am one with it, and I can feel there's more to life than rules and regulations, than committee meetings and being ever formal and proper, but also as princess my parents have forbidden me to leave the safety of the Golden and Tanzantian palace walls. Why, just once can't someone feel the same, to know what it's like to want to explore?" <> <> <> <> <> "They make such a cute couple don't they?" The Queen of Earth said to the Queen of the Tanzanitian Kingdom, as they watched the Prince and the Princess from a window in the hallway above the gardens. "Yes, they truly do. it's great that we can finally unite our two kingdoms. They've been side by side for as long as I can remember, but the generations simply haven't worked out, until now." "It's so perfect, they're the same age, both wonderful people with kind hearts and good motives, and they compliment each other perfectly." "So we shall make the announcement today?" "Yes, I belive we should." "Very well then." The two proud mothers watched the sunrise, completely unaware of just how much their plan to introduce their children when they were first born and have them grow up to love each other would backfire. <> <> <> <> <> "WAKE UP!!" Jarott rather rudely aroused Cody from his peaceful sleep by smacking him in the head with a pillow. Cody sat up and looked outside, "What the hell do you mean 'wake up?' It's not even DAWN yet! Go back to sleep!" he plummeted back down into the sheets and shut his eyes. "Get your lazy ass out of bed! We've got work to do!!" "Look, if you're really serious about getting to the princess," he sat up again. Jarott glared. Cody raised his hands defensively, "Which I know you ARE, the first thing we're gonna need to do is find someone who knows thier way around the palace." "Huh?" Jarott stared blankly at his friend. "It's not like Princess Terry-" "Terra," Jarott corrected. "TERRA," he growled in that there-are-you-happy-now tone, "is going to walk around the streets going 'hey! Princess up for grabs!' You're gonna need to get into the palace to see her, and chances are we're gonna have to sneak in in order to do that." "Oh.... well then let's get to it!!" He tried once again to pull his friend from the warmth of the bed. "No one's going to be up yet, dipshit! NORMAL people tend to wake up AFTER it's light outside!" He fell back into his pillow and simply refused to budge again until it was at least 8 o clock. Jarott scowled at his non-motivated friend and went outside to watch the sunrise and the beauty it cast onto the Golden Palace. As the first light of dawn began to shine it's rays Jarott saw a face in the window across the street that looked very familiar, "What's Rikaru doing here?" he thought. <> <> <> <> <> Hahaha THERE chapter 2. complete!!!
