I imagined that you wanted to do that. You certainly threw us all for a curve when assigning the roles for this tale. I somehow can see StarMan as the fairy, but it was obviously not to be expected.

Mmm...ebilness. Dark is our perfect allegory for that. I certainly hope that she will get her just desserts...but it would probably be a lot better if the retribution is a bit more unorthodox. Other than that, I am loving this very much. Great job, the both of you.

“What are you doing?” Netto asked, breaking the tense moment Star had created for himself.

Star looked downcast, “Awww you ruined the moment. Come on, just let me cast the spell here!”

Netto crossed her arms, “So far I’m not impressed,” she growled.

“Let me do something, and maybe you will be!” Star shot back.

Netto shrugged, “You don’t seem to realize that I don’t really want to go.”

Star huffed, “Well then go show up your sister and protect the other one. I don’t care. Just let me do my job!”

“Fine, fine,” Netto muttered.

Star coughed importantly and raised his wand again, holding it in the air with great importance. “One, two,” he said under his breath, counting off the seconds before the spell activated its self. “THREE!” he yelled and pointed his wand at Netto and a jet of silver sparks flew from the end at the poor girl.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Rock wandered around the ball room looking slightly downcast. She was really upset about what Dark did to her poor dress. She knew Netto was probably happier about not going but she worked so hard and it just wasn’t fair.

Search looked around to see a pretty girl with short blue hair in a well made green dress in the corner. She looked kind of sad so he decided it couldn’t hurt to go over and talk to her. “Hello?” he asked.

Rock looked up at the tall red haired man. “Yes?” she asked.

“Are…” Search paused, he just realized how dumb his explanation sounded. “You looked upset, are you all right?”

A faint smile flickered on Rock’s lips. “I’m fine,” she said. “Who are you?”

“Me?” Search asked, “I’m Search.”

Rock giggled, “My name is Rock, if you would like to know.”

“Oh, right,” Search said looking around.

Rock looked highly amused, “Don’t talk to others much?” she asked.

Search gave her a tiny smile, “Not often. I prefer my distance from others.”

“Why come over to me then?” Rock asked him.

“You looked upset,” he told her.

“Oh,” Rock said softly.

Search shifted uncomfortably, “Are you upset?” he asked.

Rock sighed, “Kind of. You see, I wanted my sister to be here, but… she couldn’t make it,” she said vaguely.

“Oh,” Search said.

Finally a quick, lively tune was struck up by the band. “Would you like to dance?” he asked her on a whim.

Rock looked up at him, then smiled. “Sure,” she said and took his hand. “Search,” she added with a small grin.

They went out on to the dance floor and began to dance together and talk about other things. Search soon discovered that Rock was very intelligent and knew many things on the politics of the kingdom as well as neighboring places. She was a lively conservationist once she cheered up.

Laika watched his friend dance with a girl and talk easily with her while they danced. He sighed as he greeted what felt like the millionth girl that night. ‘At least Search is having fun,’ he thought to himself.

“What about the Lenal Kingdom?” Search asked.

Rock looked thoughtful while a few strains of music floated through the air. “Well, they’re a very important import kingdom, but the new king is so power hungry. I can’t help but think he might try something soon.”

Search nodded, “I had that fear myself for a while now.”

“It’s not only that, we rely so much on them I think that it could be messy,” she added.

“Any solutions?” he asked.

Rock nodded, “Increase farming production. We have the land, it’s just a matter of using it the right way.”

Search grinned, “You’re very intelligent, Rock,” he told her.

Rock blushed, “Not really. I just like knowing what’s going on around me.”

“Is there anything wrong with that?” Search asked her.

Rock shook her head, “None that I know of.”

“Then don’t blush. Being aware of your surroundings is a very good thing to do. I’m very impressed you know as much as you do,” Search told her.

Rock blushed but smiled at Search in return, “Thanks,” she replied.

~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~/~

Netto blinked and sneezed as the sparkly… stuff hit her. When she cleared her vision there was a coach, horses and a driver. “What?” she looked at the strange person. “You’re… weird.”

Star smiled, “Well, well, well, you are a girl after all.”

Netto looked down to see that she was wearing a deep red dress accented by other shades of the color that didn’t poof out at all but instead laid against her body. It showed off her figure, but also was comfortable and loose for her too move it. Also on her feet were glass slippers which Netto thought to be incredibly silly looking. She blushed and glared at Star, “What’s all this about?” she snapped.

“I’m a fairy god parent, it’s my job. Now, two rules,” Star said while holding up two fingers. “One, be back by midnight!”

Netto crossed her arms, “Oh, that’s not hard. Lemme guess, two ‘have fun’?” she asked.

Star frowned and let his arm fall to his side. “You take the fun out of everything.”

Netto grinned, “Sorry. I couldn’t help it.”

Star shrugged, “Just make sure you’re back by 12 okay?”

Netto nodded, “Don’t worry about that. I just want to keep an eye on Rock.”

“All right, have fun then girlie,” Star cheered and vanished.

Netto shook her head and sighed. “Okay then,” she muttered and walked towards the waiting carriage.

~~~~~~~~~~

Rock and Search get some love X3 Enjoy.

Laika stifled a yawn as he took in his surroundings. There were pretty girls all around him in their jewels and chiffon but not an interesting personality between the lot. They were all decorations for court or for whatever kingdom they were from but they were by far not at all what he himself would look in for a significant other of any kind let alone a girlfriend.

“Hi, my name’s Chenille,” a girl giggled, fluttering her eyes and looking like she was having an epileptic seizure.

Laika blinked at her then nodded politely like every prince should. “Pleased to meet you,” he said in a quiet, obviously bored voice.

The girl began to talk about something that Laika really didn’t care about to he tuned her out while nodded politely or saying ‘hm’ and ‘yes’ when she asked him a question. His gaze shifted from her face over to the entrance way where he saw a young girl walk into the ball room.

Her arms were at her sides and her hands were balled into fists. She didn’t carry herself like a lady, rather she trotted at a fast gate across the floor where she stood in the crowd and looked around. She spotted something and her face relaxed into a grin as she slowly backed towards the wall. He followed her gaze and spotted Search and his new lady friend dancing and talking with rather serious looks on their faces. Upon further inspection he noted that the girl looked just like the one he saw. ‘Sisters,’ he thought.

“And so that’s how I found this awesome dress,” Chenille continued.

“Excuse me,” Laika said politely and backed out of the conversation. Any excuse at all to get away from his current ‘duties’ to the crown.

“Perfect,” Netto said happily. “Rock is happy, Dark is nowhere in sight and I’m just gonna stand back here till midnight and make sure it stays that way. Rock deserves a night to herself.”

“Hello?” a soft voice said behind her making her jump.

Netto whirled around to face a boy with aqua colored hair and sharp eyes that reminded her of ice. “Yes?” she asked slowly while looking him over.

“Do… you have any idea who I am?” he asked, blinking slowly in confusion.

Netto shook her head, “No, should I?”

Laika shook his head as a small smile played on his lips. “It is of no concern then. My name is Laika.” He looked her over, “I saw you come in. I can tell you’re not here for the reason everyone else is.”

Netto nodded and let her gaze wander to where her sister was dancing happily. “I’m making sure my sister doesn’t get into any trouble.”

“You care more about her then meeting the crown prince?” Laika asked with a raised eyebrow.

Netto snorted, “Oh he can live without me I’m sure. I have no interest in meeting someone who probably cares more about what the girls here are wearing that what’s in their heads.”

A red tinge showed briefly on Laika’s cheeks as he chose his next words carefully. “Who are you to judge in such character, milady?”

Netto gave him a very un-ladylike shrug. “I’m not,” she said simply. “But, if he isn’t that kind of person then he must be either insane or forced to do this against his will.”

Laika nodded and stood behind Netto, watching his friend dance. “She’s your sister then?”

Netto nodded, “Step sister.”

“You look alike though,” Laika noted. “Are you sure you’re not blood related.”

Netto shook her head, “Not in the slightest, but you’re not the first one that’s said that.”

“I can imagine,” Laika murmured. His eyes roved around and he saw several girls he vaguely remembered meeting earlier coming towards him. “Oh boy.”

Netto followed his gaze and braced her hands on her hips. “They’re following you?” she sniffed. “You got some kind of posse?”

“They won’t leave me alone,” Laika said truthfully as the girls loomed in.

Netto sighed and took Laika’s hand, dragging him into the crowd. “Come on,” she muttered.

“W-wait, where are we going?” Laika asked as he stumbled over his feet.

“There was this hallway when I came in here…” Netto murmured. She looked around and nodded, “There.”

Laika looked. “That’s the servants hall,” he told her.

“So? It’s quiet,” Netto retorted.

“True,” Laika admitted.

“Well then, let’s go!” Netto told him and pulled him into the hall, away from the unwanted noise and bustle of the party behind them.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Heh. This was quite cute, as usual.

I enjoy how you have Laika drawn to women that are not so full of themselves and can speak so curtly and presumptuously about the man running the event...Rock seems to have quite a strong spirit about her.

Other than that, good job. Smile

Away from the crowd, sitting in an isolated chair by one of the large doors of the castle, Tesla looked around the large ball room, looking everything but entertained.

The woman let out a loud sigh, bored out of her mind; but also filled with nostalgia and a deep hurt that she tried to hide behind her serious, hardened expression. The ball reminded her of the times she'd spent in the dance floor with her husband, when things were alright and she had the family she loved.

But her husband was no more. Her wish to even try and deal with her own children was fainting more and more every day. Tesla didn't want to admit it but she died with her husband.

She shook her head and moved towards a table set up with refreshments for the guests, pouring herself a glass of punch. Something, or rather, someone, outside caught her eye. The driver of her carriage was leaning against the estructure, waving his hat in front of himself to freshen himself up. A thought crossed Tesla's mind, bringing a tiny smile to her lips.

"It's a warm night, isn't it?" She said as she walked towards the driver, handing a glass of punch to him.

Charlie blinked a few times and bowed politely, accepting the offered beverage. "Yes, my lady. It is."

The woman nodded and sighed softly, looking back towards the crowd in the palace. Charlie looked at his mistress and scratched the back of his neck, unsure of what to say.

"Why aren't you inside enjoying yourself, my lady?" He asked finaly.

"I have nobody to enjoy myself with. Nobody to talk with. Nobody to dance with. My daughters are having a good time themselves, I don't want to get in their way."

The blonde man nodded and said no more for a while.

"So, you're bored as well?" Tesla asked, offering the man a tiny smile.

"Not much I can do here, really." The taller man admitted, smiling back to his employer.

"Let's entertain ourselves then."

Without warning, Tesla accomodated on the large driver's seat, patting the space next to her for the blonde man to sit in; reluctantly at first, Charlie obligued.

"And where do you come from sir..."

"Charlie. My name is Charlie Airstar, my lady."

"Well then. Tell me about yourself."

Charlie and Tesla began to chatter with one another, quickly becoming oblivious to the world around them. For the first time since the loss of her husband, Tesla felt content and at peace, enjoying herself in the company of the kind driver.

Not far away from them, a pair of green eyes watched the scene, Rock smiled contently before turning her glance back to her current companion.

"Is that your mother?" Search asked.

Rock nodded and glanced one last time to her mother before walking away with Search in their own chattering. At least something was coming out good tonight.

"If only Netto could be here as well..."

Indeed.

Although it was a bit on the short side, I enjoyed how you managed to sneak another pairing into the works, and to show that someone who was neglected somewhat has her moment in the sun...

Good work. Smile

Charlie and Tesla are such a cute couple, and you did a great job adding them into the fray. I really wish Charlie got more attention, he's such a cool character, and is often neglected. T_T I can't wait to see the next chapter.

Netto sneezed abruptly in the empty hall and the resounding sound made Laika jump. Netto looked at Laika and laughed. “Jumpy, aren’t you?”

Laika rubbed his arm awkwardly. “Well, I technically should be back in the ballroom. I had something of a duty to fulfill there.”

Netto shrugged. “So, you didn’t seem like you were having very much fun. I mean jeez, what’s the point of going to a party if you’re not gonna have fun?”

Laika blinked, “Well…” he started but Netto interrupted him. He wasn’t very used to being interrupted but he liked Netto so he decided to let it slide.

“Seriously, forget about duty. Have fun,” Netto smiled up at him. Laika looked back and blushed deeply. He realized that underneath her tough exterior, Netto was indeed very pretty and he found himself attracted to her mind and her looks. Netto looked back, a bit puzzled but not fazed in the slightest. “You okay?” she asked.

Laika cleared his throat. “I’m fine,” he said, still blushing. A few strands of orchestra music drifted into the servant’s hall and Laika held out an elegant hand. Netto stared at it for a few seconds before Laika beckoned with his fingers. “We’re at a ball, want to dance?” he asked.

Netto looked at the hand then at Laika’s face. He was very handsome, she had to admit, and she knew that Rock was doing fine. With a nod and a tiny smile she took his hand and stepped into his embrace. His hand was soft and warm which surprised her because her assessment of his eyes earlier had told her instincts he might have been cold. It was a nice surprise because it meant that she hadn’t read his whole personality in a glance.

Laika held his hand on Netto’s waist and led her around the rather large hallway in a slow waltz. Neither one really felt like talking at the moment and it seemed just enough that they were dancing and not being bothered by anyone else. Finally, after a few minutes of silence, Laika nodded at the door, “When it ends, can we go back?” He shook his head when Netto opened her mouth. “Look, I know about duty and what you may think but my situation is a tad unavoidable. Maybe… if you go back in with me the girls will leave me alone.”

Netto chuckled, “Using me too get away from others?” she asked dubiously with a raised eyebrow.

Laika blushed, “Well I…”

“Relax,” Netto laughed loudly. “I was teasing, Laika. Sure, I’d be glad to help you get away from those girls.”

“You really know how to set someone on edge,” Laika noted with a small frown.

Netto winked brightly. “My sister tells me that every day.”

Suddenly the two burst out laughing and leaned on one another for support as the dance ended. ‘How long has it been since I’ve laughed like this?’ Laika thought to himself as Netto leaned up against him trying to catch her breath. ‘Too long,’ he answered himself.

Suddenly, a foot servant ran into the hall and caught sight of them. “There you are!” he yelled.

“Look, mister, we just came in here to get away for a few minutes,” Netto explained. “No harm done.”

The servant looked from Netto, to Laika and back before going on. “Your highness, your parents request your presence immediately.”

“Your highness?” Netto asked, a bit scandalized.

Laika winced at the obvious note of anger in her voice. He sighed and looked back at the girl who had managed to capture his attention in just a short hour. “I’m the crown prince,” he said slowly. “I’m sorry I never mentioned it before.”

“You’re… the prince?” Netto asked. She crossed her arms and put the puzzle pieces together in her mind. “God, no wonder you wanted to get out of there. I can’t imagine…” Laika stepped forward and put his hand over her mouth.

“Please, not in front of my servants,” he said softly.

Netto pulled his hand away. “Never do that again,” she growled.

“Don’t snap out and we have a deal,” Laika retorted.

The servant watched their somewhat unusual dynamic with interest for a bit, then cleared his throat. “Your majesty, please?” he asked.

Laika sighed and looked down at Netto. “Can you come with me?” he asked. He leaned down and whispered, “I just want to introduce someone to my parents so they’ll get off my back.”

Netto nodded, “Sure. But then you owe me a favor.”

Laika blinked, “Like what?” he asked.

“I’ll tell you when I think of one,” she said with a short laugh at the end. Another discreet cough came their way and Laika straightened up. He offered his arm to Netto who refused and walked on her own towards the man. “I’m perfectly able to enter a ballroom on my own accord, thank you very much,” she sniffed.

Laika shrugged in answer to the questioning glance from his servant. He knew she seemed to be a bit rough around the edges but he liked that about her. He was discovering he liked a lot of things about her. He trotted quickly to catch up to Netto and walked next to her, not as a princely escort but as an equal friend.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Awwwwww, yeah... I just gamed to KHII for like... 11 hours and this is what came out. Sorry about the lack of updates and future updates XD

Eleven hours straight? God, I should get this game too. o_o

But I digress. We again see how you have Netto and Laika treating each other as equals, despite the obvious social disparity between them. It's nice how you set up a dialogue between the two, and how they can del with each other as peers despite what is going on.

Good work.

The sovereigns of the kingdom stood proudly in the balcony of the staircase that led to the ballroom, giving them a perfect view of everything going on within the large hall.

"Oh! Could it be possible? Is our son with a lady?" The queen chimed as she saw the young prince move towards them in the company of a maiden.

"I sure hope so. He has been taking his sweet time in finding someone." The king sighed tiredly.

"Oh please, you were much older than him when we engaged."

The king didn't retaliate but huffed loudly as Laika led Netto towards his parents.

"Mother? Father? Did you wish to see me?" Laika bowed respectfuly to his parents.

"Indeed we do. I trust this whole event has not been in vain and you have found a suitable maiden?" The king said as he looked at Netto, mildly bothered at the fact the girl didn't bow to them.

The young prince supressed a groan as he nodded to his parents, taking Netto's hand and pulling her closer to him, whispering loud enough for her to hear, "Please, bow to them and play along."

Netto blinked and raised an eyebrow, she wasn't one to bow down to others, but decided to do it for Laika's sake. She turned to the royal couple and bowed as gracefuly as she could, trying to remember the way Rock would do it, adding a shy smile to his charade.

"This is Lady..." Laika blinked and blushed when he remembered he never asked Netto's name.

"Netto, your majesty." the girl covered up quickly and bowed once more, Laika was going to be very in debt with her for this.

The queen looked at her from tip to toe with a judging glare, making Netto more than just a little uncomfortable, feeling like a puppy in a canine contest. The girl remained as quiet as she could, releaving her discomfort through mental curses aimed at the royal couple before her.

"Well, she certainly could use some refinement, but I guess it's better than nothing." Laika's mother nodded, satisfied that at least her son had picked up a girl, and thankfully a not so bad looking one.

"Thank you, mother, it is alright if we retire?"

"Go ahead." The king nodded and watched at the youngsters bowed and retired.

Once they were far away from the King's and Queen's sight, Netto folded her arms over her chest and glared at Laika. "They're so charming."

Laika winced at the obvious sarcasm in th young girl's voice. "I'm sorry, I asure you they didn't mean to be rude. They just have high expectations."

"Whatever." Netto rolled her eyes and sighed as she relaxed, "You better you remember you owe me a favor. Now, I think I saw some really good cupcakes in that table..."

The young prince found himself being dragged towards a table and smiled, feeling a little more relaxed as the girl began to chatter with him once more.

Outside, Tesla glanced into the ballroom, checking her daughters in as she noticed a familiar face. "...Netto?" She moved closer to confirm what she though she saw. Tesla watched Netto for a couple of minutes, deciding to let the girl have her fun before returning to her chattering with Charlie.

------------------------

High up in the sky, the small form of the Fairy Godfather Starman looked down into the palace. "Enjoy yourself, dear. You've got two hours left now."

Haaaa ha, this chapter kinda didn't want to cooperate with me.
