Megumi               : Is there anything you want, Grandma?
Queen                  : yes, Megumi. I want you to learn to dance~

Kaname               : *Lend a hand* ready to go out?

Queen                  : Remember Megumi, talk in the way princess talk.
Megumi               : Yes, I’m so sorry Grandma.

As the palace door open, the queen and Megumi walked slowly to the garden while the guests look at them

Megumi               : *Walk properly* ‘that’s it Megumi, slowly~ steady~ you’re doing fine~’

Suddenly...

Megumi continue walking

Megumi               : ‘This is so! ~ embarrassing~’ *disappointed*

As the ceremony started, everyone go and have a dance with their partner, while Megumi sit down on the chair and look down

Megumi               : ‘I hate myself’

Kaname               : May I have this dance *Smile gently*
Megumi               : *blush* Y—Yes

Megumi and Kaname start to dance together with all the guests. Finally, all the guests stop and watch 

Megumi and Kaname dance.

Kaname               : *Whisper* everyone is looking my dear Princess
Megumi               : *Whisper* which is very very embarrassing.
Kaname               : *Smile* don’t worried, just have fun.

Megumi and Kaname dance until the music end and the entire guest clap their hands.

 ...

Megumi sit down on the chair while Kaname get some drinks for them. As kaname back—

Megumi               : I’m sorry for earlier
Kaname               : It’s okay *smile*

Megumi always step on his foot on the dance, but Kaname just acted normal since everyone look at them.

Kaname               : *look at his shoe* I guess I have to buy a new shoes huh *Giggle*
Megumi               : Sorry *Disappointed*

Then Yuu came with a beautiful girl beside her.

Yuu                        : You’re highness, please meet my date. Mary *smirk*
Megumi               : It’s nice to meet you Mary, I can see you’re Narukami’s date
Marry                    : Yes, I am *smile*
Megumi               : Well~ you might feel regret of knowing him *Smirk at Yuu*
Yuu                        : ‘Im seriously will kill this girl’ *pissed off*
Mary                     : Ohh *giggles* I hope not. *giggles*

Yuu                        : Mary had her master this year *smile*
Megumi               : Well, congratulations Mary. You know, that guy with you is not good. Since you take master you should know where’s wrong where is right, you know~ *giggles*

Yuu                        : Well~ I hope kaname realize what kind of girl that he dates. He’s dating with a hideous girl ever *Evil aura*

Megumi               : Ohh yea!? I hope Marry realize that she’s dating a ugly freak guy who about to kill me, on my way to home

Yuu                        : Kaname should know who’s fault first *Evil aura*
Megumi               : Then Marry should know you’re a killer if I died on the street

Kaname               : *cough* again with the fight *giggles*
Mary                     : Kuran san, would you like to have a drink with me
Kaname               : Certainly my dear

As Mary and Kaname walked away Megumi and Yuu on an awkward situation. 

Yuu                        : You seriously ruined the royal mood there.
Megumi               : Well excuse me!? Who started smirking first!? *walk away*

Yuu                        : Why you told her that she will be regret!? Isn’t that rude *Chase Megumi from behind* 

You know that I’m inlove with her!
Megumi               : *crash—continue walking* Well~ what I say is true. To be a princess have to learn to speak the truth *Stop and turn to Yuu*

Yuu                        : What kind of lesson are you learning?
Megumi               : The proper princess way!
Yuu                        : You’re certainly making me pissed off, you know
Megumi               : Fine! If that what you think, so go ahead *look away*

As Megumi looked away, Yuu turn around and walked away from Megumi’s eyes.

Megumi               : Isn’t that rude? *turn around* Yuu has gone.

...

Its nearly a week Megumi haven’t met Yu, even though she always come to the palace for a training.

Today, Megumi in the living room reading a ‘proper princess way’

“To be a good princess, be good to people, believe in your people. Know what is right, and what is wrong. Lastly, don’t make your people lose hope on you...”

Megumi               : Lose hope on me... *thinking of something*

Queen                  : Megumi.
Megumi               : Yes, grandma? *walk to her*
Queen                  : Let me introduce, Miss Alisa, you dance teacher.
Megumi               : *book drop* s-sorry *nervous*

Alisa                       : Nice to meet you my princess. *smile*
Megumi               : Nice to meet you too Alisa. *smile and pick up the book*
Alisa                       : I’m here to teach you how to dance *smile*
Megumi               : Th— Thats greattt~ *nervous*

Megumi and Alisa currently in the dancing hall.

Alisa                       : First of all, why not you try to turn around.
Megumi               : *turn around slowly*
Alisa                       : Good. Now, give you hands to mine *lend a hand*
Megumi               : *lend a hand*

Alisa and Megumi start dancing, unluckily Megumi step on Alisa’s foot frequently.

...

Alisa                       : Okay! Let’s stop *Exhausted* Tomorrow we continue, your highness.

Alisa get out from the hall with her legs wiggling.

Megumi               : Sorry~~ *guilty and sigh* I can’t dance.

...

The next day, Megumi went to school by the luxurious car.

Girl                         : Hey, Megumi, or I have to say Princess, what kind of spell you use anyway? *pissed off*
Megumi               : Excuse me? *confuse*
Girl                         : Megumi, the nerdy, change to the hotties then at the end, a princess... say you witch, what’s your spell?
Megumi               : Wa—Wait! Ohhh~ wait. I didn’t do spell
Girl2                       : You don’t have to lie. You know you Megumi.

Suddenly, there’s a book drop between them.

Megumi               : *Twitch and turn* Kaname? *confuse*
Kaname               : I’m sorry ladies *Pick up the book*
Megumi               : What are you doing here?
Girl                         : Your highness *bow to Kaname*
Kaname               : *Raise the girls head* with this beautiful face, and irresponsible attitude, really pissing off the royal mood.
Megumi               : Kaname, you should do that.
Kaname               : This lady *point to Megumi*-
Megumi               : ‘What?? Me??’ *confuse*
Kaname               : This lady is the pure blood of the royal generation. Everyone have to bow on Lady Megumi. Lady Megumi deserves it! *bow to Megumi*

Megumi               : ‘Palace slang huh?’ *Embarrassed*  

...

Megumi walk alone to the palace, she called the driver not to keep her up.

Megumi               : ‘It’s getting bored without Yu here. *sigh* wait— what am I saying!?  Ohh gosh. Yesterday I got Alisa hurt and today Kaname acted weird in front of the school. What a day’

When Megumi arrived, Alisa is not there yet. Her supervisor wants Megumi to wait for Alisa at the dance hall.

One hour later, someone come inside the dance hall

Guard                   : Your Highness, I’m sorry, Alisa is not able to come today, due to her injured leg
Megumi               : Injured leg? *guilty*

The guard walk out from the hall.  Megumi sigh and walk towards the radio.

Megumi               : ‘I guess I have to practice by myself’

Megumi turn on the music and start dancing. But when she about to turn around, she— She fall down to the floor.

???                         : That must be hurt my dear princess
Megumi               : *twitch* Yuu? *surprise*

Yu walked towards Megumi and help her to stand up.

Yu                           : Such a pity princess didn’t know how to dance *teasing*
Megumi               : You!— *Smile gently* Idiot!
Yu                           : Here, Let me help you

Yu place Megumi’s left hand on his shoulder while Yu’s right hand on her waist and they’re both hands hold together.

Yu                           : Okay, take a deep breath
Megumi               : *Deep breathe*
Yu                           : *speak softly* now, dance~

Megumi and Yuu started to dance, they dance perfectly at first, then when Megumi about to turn around, she accidently step on Yu’s foot

Megumi               : Sorry *panic*
Yu                           : It’s okay *in pain*

They both start dancing until Megumi able to dance. Well, that is when the night comes.

Megumi               : Yay! I did it *Jump and hug Yu*
Yu                           : Congratulations princess *smile*
Megumi               : *Realize and quickly push away* I’m sorry *blush*
Yu                           : It’s okay *smile*
Megumi               : Thank you, Yu *bow*
Yu                           : It’s my pleasure, your highness.

Megumi               : ‘It’s kind of awkward when me and Yu started to speak in royalties way...’

Yu about to go out from the hall—

Megumi               : Uhh, Yu...
Yu                           : Yes, your highness?
Megumi               : Stop acting royalties with me please
Yu                           : Sure *smile and continue walking*
Megumi               : Wait yu—
Yu                           : Is something wrong?
Megumi               : Well, If it’s okay with you, can you help me for some of my training— only if you want too, I won’t force you or anything...
Yu                           : Sure.
Megumi               : On Saturday, can you?
Yu                           : I’ll come, If I’m not busy
Megumi               : Thanks... *Yu walk away*

The next day, Megumi visited the queen at the palace for awhile. They both walk around the garden.

Queen                  : So, how’s your relation with Kuran’s son?
Megumi               : Well~, it’s kinda— good?
Queen                  : Such unconfident answer there. Is something wrong?
Megumi               : No, no really *smile*

???                         : Megumi
Megumi               : *turn* Kaname?
Kaname               : *run to Megumi*
Megumi               : What is it?
Kaname               : I want to take you out for awhile *smile*
Megumi               : Where? *wondering*

Queen                  : Stop asking Megumi, he asked you out there. So go *smile*
Megumi               : Okay grandma
Kaname               : *Grab her hand and walk away*

The both enter the luxurious car and off to somewhere.

 It’s appearing that they arrived at the expensive private restaurant. They sit down in one special room.

Megumi               : I never thought we will be here *surprise*
Kaname               : Just want to give a surprise to my love *Wink*
Megumi               : ‘There goes the winking’ *blush*

They been served a dinner. In the middle of their meal—

Megumi               : There must be a reason why you bring me here, isn’t it? *smile*
Kaname               : You’re so smart *impress*
Megumi               : Well~ ‘just guessing’
Kaname               : We continue eating and you will know soon *Smile gently*
Megumi               : ‘I’m getting weak seeing that smile’ *continue eating*

As the desserts were served, Megumi’s dessert is much more beautiful than Kaname.

Megumi               : Why— mine’s far up from you? *confuse*
Kaname               : I don’t take dessert, that’s why I order a smiple one. *smile*
Megumi               : Ohh *start eating*

When Megumi start eating the dessert, she feels that there’s a hard rock inside her mouth. As she take ‘that’ thing out— it’s a ring.

Megumi               : *Shocked and look at Kaname*
Kaname               : *Get closer to Megumi and get on his knees* Megumi Sayuuri, Will you be my bride for the rest of my life?
Megumi               : ‘I’m— speechless’ well~ uhh... uhhmm.....
Kaname               : I know for shocking you like that
Megumi               : Uhhh— I— I do *Blush*
Kaname               : You do!? *Stand up and hug Megumi*
Megumi               : *giggles and wondering* ‘Are my decision is better for my life?’

...

Kaname               : I’M GETTING MARRY!!

Kaname is very excited about the marriage. While Megumi still wondering about her decision. We didn’t exposed to the media yet thou.  But the entire people in the palace knew about it.

Queen                  : Congratulations Megumi
Megumi               : But, Grandma, I’m still 15 *worried*
Queen                  : It’s okay, your mother married when she was 15 also *smile*
Megumi               : Is it okay if we wait for me to get 17 or 18 or more? *Not confident*
Queen                  : It a part to the royal generation Megumi...
Megumi               : ‘What if I’m not ready for one’ *sigh*

...

The next day is the day where Yu and Megumi had training. Early morning, Marry called— she invited Megumi, Kaname and Yu to her tea party with all her guests. Just knowing there’s Yu’s name on it, Megumi felt down

Megumi               : ‘Yu never lose his chance on this... Since he love Mary so much. *sigh* I guess the training to cancel for today’ *disappointed* ‘Or I training by myself’ –

At noon, Megumi decided to appear at Mary’s tea party instead.

Mary                     : Megumi *hug me* Come in, everyone’s here
Megumi               : ‘Everyone huh?’ Okay *smile and walked in*

Megumi search everywhere, but there’s no Yu

Megumi               : ‘Maybe Yu is running late, today’

Suddenly—

A loud slam on the door, everyone shocked. Even Megumi.— It’s Yu!

Yu                           : Megumi!!! *fire up*
Megumi               : Gulp! ‘I’m in a big trouble*
Yu                           : *Walk towards Megumi* You know, I’ve waited for you for two hours at the hall!
Megumi               : But I thought you will attend Marry’s tea party
Yu                           : *Take her hand and walked out* Who says I will appear here, even if I do, I will tell you!! Now let’s go young lady!

Megumi               : ‘Why?– Why do I feel so burning inside me?’

...

At the palace, Yu train Megumi to be a good princess,

Yu                           : Now. I give you five minutes to make a speech of twenty minutes *Look at his watch*
Megumi               : Are you crazy?! It’s impossible to do that!
Yu                           : It’s for a late speech also an emergence speech! So, try it before you arguing!
Megumi               : Argh!
Yu                           : Your time starts— now!

Megumi started write a speech. She’s so blank. At the end of the five minutes, she only able to do half of it.

Yu                           : Mmm *checked* a good start there Megumi *impress*
Megumi               : *Sigh* I need to rest my mind for awhile
Yu                           : What!? There’s no time for resting, young lady
Megumi               : Then I will go and rest my mind outside *Stomp to the door*
Yu                           : *Smile gently* ‘I feel great whenever I tease you or threaten you’ *giggle*

Megumi               : WHY YOU GIGGLING!?
Yu                           : Why you want to know anyway. *point to Megumi* I give you three minutes to break
Megumi               : What!? *Pissed off* ARGH!

...

The next day, Megumi stayed at home. Then there’s a twice knock on the door.

Megumi               : *Open the door* *surprise*
Driver                    : Good Morning your highness, Prince Kaname invited you to his office straight away
Megumi               : Ohh, okay sure. *Take her coat*

Megumi knock twice on Kaname’s office. Megumi entered the room.

Kaname               : I need to talk to you.

Megumi sit in front of him

Megumi               : What is it?
Kaname               : Marry told me, that you need help from Yu for a princess training, is that true?
Megumi               : Yes, is— is something wrong about that?
Kaname               : *quiet*
Megumi               : ‘He’s not jealous—isn’t he?’
Kaname               : As your future husband, I don’t want you to make any contact with Narukami Yu
Megumi               : But— Why!?
Kaname               : I don’t want. Okay!?
Megumi               : It’s not fair; Yu is my friend, why can’t I contact with my friend!?
Kaname               : I don’t believe in him, okay? I don’t want to lose you.
Megumi               : Unacceptable reason *Stood up and walk outside the house*
Kaname               : *slam the table*

Megumi               : ‘Why must he forbid me contact with Yu? Why I’m getting mad when it is about yu? *confuse and sigh* ‘What a day’

...

It’s been a week already Megumi didn’t visit the palace. Even the queen kept called her to come, but she gave a reason that she was busy.

One day, Megumi jogged around her neighbourhood while listening to music. Then she stops for a while at the park to have a stretching for a bit. Coincidence, she saw Yu sit of the bench reading a book.  Megumi smiled and she starts jogged near him.

Megumi               : Well hello princes charming
Yu                           : *twitch* Megumi?
Megumi               : Good Morning! *Smile*
Yu                           : Is that really you!?
Megumi               : Yep it’s me *Smile*
Yu                           : You look hideous with those sport clothes
Megumi               : *Pain* ‘That Yu really didn’t change a single’ *pissed off*
Yu                           : *Laugh*

Megumi sit down on the ground smelling some flowers. Meanwhile, Yu kept stare at her.

Yu                           : *Blush* So, how come you didn’t know you’re a princess?
Megumi               : Well~ it started when there’s a war in the Merilia. My father hides me and my mother somewhere else, while he must run away from our country... Grandma said that I was Merilia only hope to continue our country. Before father run away, he wrote a letter for me, saying that he wants me to be a Princess of Merilia, that’s his only wishes. Father died because of his health. At first, when Grandma come and told me I was a Princess, I laugh *giggles*

Yu                           : Why are you laughing? 

Megumi               : I thought all of it is a joke. But when Grandma show me father’s letter, I feel like— I should do what father’s want. That is to be the Princess of Merilia.

Yu                           : ‘Your face look so calm and you always smile when you tell a story of your father‘ *Smile*

Megumi               : *Giggles* It’s awkward talking about my father to you
Yu                           : It’s okay, we’re friend right? Aren’t we?
Megumi               : Of course we are *Smile gently*
Yu                           : *Feeling hot* ‘Oh my gosh! Why do I feel so heat when she smile’ *blush*

What do you think the feeling is?

Will Megumi stick with her decision?

*To Be Continue :)
