Saisha walked down the long staircase and into the great-room, where huge chandeliers hung over her head. She put a friendly smile on her face as she stepped out of the castle. Her long, floor length castle gown being held up as she walked. She waved delicately to the people in court, as she traveled toward the fountain in the middle of the courtyard, being followed by admirers.
As she got to the fountain, she sat down on its edge and was instantly surrounded. She tried to speak to each of them, but it was like an endless line of people with questions, comments, and a few pick up lines from a knight here and there, as she was at the age of marrying, now. Her parents had given her a few princes that she might look into, but she probably wouldn't anytime soon. She wanted to meet someone who liked her for her, not her position in the kingdom. But like always, her parents want her to marry someone of royal blood, to keep the family line pure, and not tainted by peasant or courtier blood. As the line dwindled to just a few, she spoke to them, and then stood, thinking of going for a ride to calm her thoughts.

Aurora sighed, watching her older sister. She knew the people loved her best. She was the eldest princess, the prettiest. She decided to go stand by the fountain when she noticed Saisha leaving. Her floor length light blue and violet dress swished as she walked out to the courtyard.
She reached the fountain and the admirers made way, knowing not to make this princess mad. Aurora sat down and listened to the people as they told there stories about their kids, their siblings, and their funnies moment. She too had quite the group of followers, just not as many as her sister.

Saisha smiled and responded kindly to the words of the commoners, though she would much rather be done talking with them, and be speaking with her little sister. She gave each of them a sweet smile, and when most of them were gone, she stood. "Please, may we speak later in the day, I would like to speak with my sister now." she said with a smile. "Come back in a couple of hours, or so." she said, and sat back down as the crowd dwindled. She waved, and said goodbye as they left the fountain.
She turned to her sister. "Hello, how has your day been, Rora?" she asked kindly, giving her sibling a quick hug. "Shall we go for a walk through the gardens? Or maybe go for a ride through the forest with the horses?" she suggested, standing, smoothing down the skirts of her dress.

Aurora was glad to finally be able to talk to her sister in privacy. "It's been quite mild, nothing exciting really. Yourself?" She asked kindly. "Yes, let's." She started towards the gardens. Aurora loved the gardens. They were bursting with beauty. She loved being able to watch the plants grow year round.

Saisha nodded. "I've been alright, as well." she replied with a smile. As they walked to the gardens, commoners waved. She waved back at them, and then looked to Aurora. "Wave, sister, you are a princess, too." she said with a giggle. "You must interact with the people of your kingdom." She smiled at her, and then looked ahead.
As they reached the gardens, she gently plucked a red rose from the plant right outside of the garden gate, and wove it through her own hair. Saisha then picked a lily from its plant, and wove it into Aurora's dark hair, knowing that she like them. "Father's been looking for suitors for myself, and probably you, too. I don't really want to get married at this age. I like feeling free, not tied to anybody." she said, bringing up a conversation. "But, I suppose that we are both of marrying age." she said with a sigh.

Aurora smiled to her sister, thanking her for the flower. She then nodded, understanding where her sister was coming from. "Honestly, I would kind of like to get married, as long as it was the right person. I don't want to be forced. I want to find someone that makes me happy, someone I can actually fall in love with, not just having to marry them because Father said so."
Aurora truly wanted to feel loved. She wanted someone to warm up her icy heart, someone to care for her. Of course she wasn't going to let anyone see that part of her. She didn't want her family to know she was weak at heart. She didn't want them to know she was lonely, or that she wished for a more fulfilling life.

Saisha nodded. "Indead, I understand. Someday I'd like to have that, as well. Which is why I've been pleading with father to stop his searching, as I will not be marrying anybody at the moment." she said, thinking about that.
"What do you want your wedding to be like?" she asked her sister, pondering on the subject, herself. "I'd like mine to be a classy outdoor wedding, preferably in fall, with all the leaves changeing colors around the area." she said. "And I would like a grand wedding gown, all white, of course, with diamonds, and maybe some sapphire in my head dres." she spoke again, looking up at the clear blue sky as she thought about it.

Aurora nodded. "I would like something like that as well. I'd like my wedding to have many people that actually love me, not just want to be my friend because of my royal status. I'd like it to be in the forest, surrounded by trees and green, near a waterfall." She blushed, not believing she was actually telling her sister this, but she was actually in a good mood today. "I'd like my dress to be traditionally white with lace going down the arms, and a full ball-gown-style bottom. I would also have sapphire earrings, because we all know how the saying goes with something blue."

Saisha nodded. "Sounds simply beautiful!" she said with happiness. She enjoyed spending time with her sister. "Are you planning on children?" she asked curiously. She would just adore a little neice or nephew! "I want a couple of children, at least, maybe more, depending on what my husband wants, but we will need an heir of course, which would then be you, if I don't have children. Oh, you would make for a splendid queen!" she said. She was all over the place today, a little hyper, maybe. Or maybe excited for the ball coming up shortly, within two weeks. She always got way to excited before a ball. She loved dancing.
They came upon one of the many benches in the large garden. Saisha seated herself on the little stone bench, and motioned for Aurora to sit down beside her. She looked around at all of the flowers. What a wonderful job the castle gardeners do. There were many roses, and tiger lilies, as they were the princesses favorites, and many of their mother's favorite, too, which were carnations. Saisha didn't much like them, but their mother did, and that was all that mattered. She looked back to Aurora, waiting for her reply.

Gabriel yawned as he rolled out of his bed. He made his bed out of habit and glanced out of his window. Gabriel cursed when he saw out late it was. He quickly shoved on some clean clothes and rushed out of his room. Gabriel was currently visiting another kingdom, his family was deciding his marriage and wanted to know what type of place this was. So they sent their heir and some other knights of their kingdom. Gabriel approached the castle of the two princess sisters, Saisha and Aurora. The guards let him in and Gabriel rushed inside. (Hope this is okay xD)

Aurora sat down beside her sister, surprised by all these questions she was asking about the future, but she decided to be honest, she was happy after all. "You think I'd make a good queen? Thank you, but I'm pretty sure I won't get to that position. You will have children. There is hardly a possibility of me becoming queen." She stated simply. It wasn't that she wouldn't want to be queen. She would love being queen, but it just wasn't going to happen, and she silently accepted that years ago.
"And on the matter of children, I think I'd like a lot, at least four, if it's okay with my husband of course. Well if I get married even. I don't know... Life is pretty hard to plan. I'm not even sure what I want in life..." She was okay with sharing this information with her sister. She trusted her sister with everything. She knew Saisha cared about her, and she cared about Saisha all the same.

Saisha nodded. "Yeah. I'm sure you'll get married. Be the Duke and Dutchess of somewhere." she said with a smile. "Have many of children, that way they can come to play with my children, if I have any." she commented. "Oh, what fun that would be!" she said with a giggle, remembering how they used to play with their three cousins when they were younger. "Remember when Ana and Xander came to the castle? We had so much fun." she said.
"Oh, I've forgetten to tell you, father had mentioned to me a while ago that there would be another royal family coming to the castle around today. Shall we go see if that day is today?" she asked, standing up and offering her hand to help her up. "You could meet some prince from somewhere far away, and fall in love!" she said. "The ball is just around the corner, Rora!" she said, dancing around in circles happily.

Aurora giggled, glad her sister is always there to pick up her spirits. "Maybe I can become queen for a different kingdom, as long as it's not too far of course. I'd love to still be able to visit you whenever I like. Ana and Xander were so fun!! Oh how I miss them so!!! We should have Father ask them to come to the ball!!" She had completely forgotten about the ball. She hoped her gown was finished, since she hadn't heard about it since it was arranged to be created.
She started dancing with her sister, hoping no one was around to see her act this way. "Oh, how I can't wait much longer! My patience is bursting at the seams!! Let us go right away to see if they are coming today!!" She said in a singsong voice. [/color]

Saisha giggled and danced with her sister. "That would be lovely! I haven't seen them in such a long time!" she said. "You're correct, if you lived too far away, I would be forced to send my guards to come to your kingdom and seize you, and bring you here!" she said jokingly. She laughed. "Oh, how I can't wait for the ball!" she brought it up again. "How fun it be. I just love getting all dressed up and dancing!" she spun around once more, her dress twirling around her feet. "We should ask father if it could be a masquerade ball!" she said with excitement. "I love masks!" she said with a laugh. "Oh, it seems I just love everything!" she giggled, taking her sister's hands in her own and dancing around with her. "Let's go! I'm starting to get dizzy!" she laughed.

Aurora continued to dance with her sister, giggling. It seemed she was always giddy when she talked about upcoming events, as well as love. "I love masks as well!!! It would be so marvelous to have a masquerade ball!!! We must ask Father now, before further preparations are made!!!" She replied, ow wanting to get to their father as soon as they could possibly manage. [/color] (I have to go, sorry.)
