Fairytales
Chapter 3 – The Royal Ball

A loud pop sounded next to Odette. She turned to see the bee-man standing next to her. He stare down at her before muttering “Crud”.
“Yay!” Odette cheered. Suddenly, she looked sternly up at him. “Now you have to help Mysty get to the ball to meet the prince!” Ignazio pouted briefly.
“Fine. I said I would.” He held his hand out to her. “Hold on tight, little lady.” She grabbed his hand with one of hers and hung onto Yukiko’s collar with the other. With a pop, they were gone from the street.
Odette felt dizzy as they suddenly appeared in front of a small house. They were in an oasis; their entire surroundings outside from the oasis was desert.
“Where are we?” Odette asked, staring up at Ignazio.
“This is where my fairy friend lives,” he answered before knocking on the door. “Araiyyyyyyyaaaaaaaa. Open uppppppp.” It swung open immediately to reveal a young woman.
“What do you want, Iggy?” she asked. She peered around him. “Who’s the little cutie?”
“We need your fairy prowess.”
  “I thought you, I’m not a fai-“
“The wings on your back beg to differ.”
“Okay, fine, you win. What do you want?”
“My little friend, Odette, here needs some help for her friend. She needs a fairygodmother to get her to the royal ball.” Araiya stared skeptically at him. “I’ll buy you supper.”
“It’s a deal! Let’s go!”

“Yaaay, Mysty gets to go to the ball now!” Odette cheered. Yukiko barked in equal cheer. Edge chuckled softly.

Another pop later, they were standing on the porch next to Mysty. She shrieked when she saw them suddenly there.
“Whoa, calm down, will you?” Araiya said. She wiped out her fairy wand. “We got to get you ready for the ball.”
“Um, alright.”
“We’ll be meeting you guys there,” Ignazio said. He glanced down at Odette. “Come on. We got some work to do.” Odette looked about to argue; she wanted to see Mysty and Araiya get ready for the royal ball. But Ignazio grabbed her by the hand and Yukiko by the collar and they were gone again.
They reappeared again in a large room that looked really fancy.
“Where are we?”
“The prince’s room,” Ignazio answered. She stared at him. “I just wanted to check this guy out, you know? He’s supposed to be really moody.” He headed towards the door. “So come on.”
The trio wandered the hallways practically aimlessly, trying to find the prince. All around them people were getting ready for the royal ball. Soon, they happened upon the ballroom. Out the large windows peering over majestic gardens showed them it was starting to get late. The ball would start soon and the guests would start arriving. Ignazio frowned.
“Where’s that godforsaken prince?” he grumbled, staring around. Servants were watching them suspiciously but no one questioned why they were there. Soon, people in expensive clothes began entering the room. Ignazio scanned them until his eyes landed on one young man who entered with two people, both wearing fantastical crowns.
“There he is,” Ignazio said, sounding relieved. “Let’s go.”
Odette and Yukiko followed Ignazio through the growing crowd as classical music began filling the air from the band in the corner. Odette tried avoiding being pushed around by the dancers. Soon, the trio approached the young man who had separated himself from the pair, presumably his parents.
“Prince Akuryou,” Ignazio greeted, sweeping into a low bow. Odette attempted to curtsy as Yukiko bowed as well. The prince stared at them.
“Ignazio,” he replied. He looked at Odette and Yukiko. “Smallish girl and dog.” His dark eyes landed back on Ignazio. “What do you want?”
“Well, I’m just thinking about how you have to pick your future wife today.” The prince made a face at this statement. “Yeah, thought you’d be thinking that way. But you see, this is my little friend Odette.” She shyly waved up at the prince as he looked at her again. “She had this friend who desparately wanted to come meet you. So Araiya and I assisted the sweet thing. She’s coming tonight with Araiya. Spare her a dance, alright?”
“I guess so,” the prince mumbled, looking towards the crowd again.
Just then, Araiya walked through the door, looking mighty proud of herself. Following her was Mysty in the most gorgeous gown Odette had ever seen. The small girl began clapping with the rest of the crowd when they laid eyes on the newest arrival. Mysty blushed. The prince couldn’t help but stare at her.
“Excuse me,” he told Ignazio, his eyes not leaving Mysty. He moved towards her through the crowd. Araiya passed him on her way to the trio.
“Nice job,” Ignazio said with a low whistle.
“Why thank you,” Araiya replied with a grin. She crouched down by Odette. “You pleased with how I did up your friend, little lady?” Odette nodded vigorously. “That’s good.”
“Um, now that Mysty made it to the royal ball,” Odette said, looking up at the pair. They both looked down at her. “I need to get to the Kingdom of Hearts. If you don’t mind.” The two looked at each other.
“We can do that,” Araiya said. Ignazio nodded. He kneeled by Odette and Yukiko.
“Close your eyes and count to ten.”
Odette closed her eyes and slowly counted out loud. Subconsciously, she looped her fingers through Yukiko’s collar. Once she said ten, she felt herself and Yukiko slowly falling. She opened her eyes to find she landed lightly in a garden.
“Hey, you okay?”
She and Yukiko turned to see a young man in a top hat looking down at her.
“I’m fine,” she replied.
“That’s good then,” he said. He grinned down at her. “Would you like to join our tea party?”He pointed across the small garden to where a small cottage stood. In front of it was a large tea, on which a tea point, cups, cake and other goodies were set. Sitting at the table was a teenaged girl with floppy bunny ears, drinking some tea.
“Um, sure, as long as it does take too long.”
“Great!” The Mad Hatter exclaimed. He led the two to the tea party and they sat down. The Mare Hare poured them some tea. She grinned at them.
“Nice of you to join us,” she said cheerfullly. “What are you guys doing in the Kingdom of Hearts?”
“We were following a rabbit…” Odette answered, blowing lightly on her hot tea. Yukiko sat by her feet, chewing on some cake.
“Following Locke, were you?” The Mad Hatter stroked his chin thoughtfully. “There must be a trial going on if he’s returning so soon.” He shrugged. “Oh well.”
“Oh well?” The Mare Hare said with a scowl at her partner. “No, ‘oh wells’. You know how the queen gets when she’s annoyed. It’ll be off with –“
“Someone’s head. Yeah. Yeah. Who cares? Drink your tea. It’s getting cold.”
“Oh no!” Odette exclaimed, dropping her tea cup. The two looked at her. “We have to stop this trial!”
“It’ll be off with our heads, Kasey,” The Mad Hatter muttered. The Mare Hare grinned at her.
“Come on, Chester. Where’s your sense of adventure?”
So the quartet left the tea party at the run in hopes of stopping any such trial from taking place.

“Oh no,” Odette murmured, mimicking her story counterpart.
“Oh no?” Edge asked his daughter.
“Someone’s going to get hurt at that trial, daddy!” she exclaimed. Edge stroked her hair.
“Don’t worry, sweetie. You’re gonna make it all better, alright? And Yukiko, Kasey and Uncle Chester’s going to help.”
“That’s good,” Odette replied, relieved.
“Okay. Where was I?”

Ryou sounds bored. I can't blame him, if he's stuck there like that.

It is weird. That's cause I'm really bored with my writing these days.

He is bored. But now he has Mysty so he's happy. :3
