love and war (twi x water)

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole blushed as she danced with him. She kept an eye on her steps. Ella and Dimitri watched their movements closely. Then told the teens how to fix their pposture and stop looking at their feet. Nichole gulped and bit her cheek looking at aaron starting to relax.

 

[whateverwater]

'Don't look at your feet..' Aaron repeated to himself, trying to follow their advice and memorize the movements. After a few minutes of adequate dancing, Ella whispered to Dimitri "If they have anything else to learn then they can go attend to that. They are able to dance slightly proper now."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Dimitri nodded and said"next will be their edict. " watching them dance. Nichole kept in step . Then spun gracefully in her gown. She spun back into Aaron's arms and lost her balance for a second. "Oof!' Nichole said as her face hit his chest one of her slippers falling..flying off. "S-sorry."

 

[whateverwater]

Smiling, Aaron said looking down at her "It's alright." Noticing that her slipper had flown five feet away from them, he took hold of her hand and walked over to it. Aaron retrieved the slipper from the floor and held it out for her other hand to take it. "You should be a little more careful though." He smiled as he continued from his last sentence.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole blushed crimson and sat in a chair putting it on. "T-thanks. " she said standing. "Ah princess you must practice walking in these."ella said holding out some heels.

 

[whateverwater]

Dimitri approached Aaron and said "I will be teaching you conversational etiquette and how to act at the royal ball." With a nod to show he understood, he reluctantly left Nichole and followed the man to the other side of the ballroom.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole sighed changing into her shoes. She staggered some as she walked. Nichole took a deep breath as she walked. the shoes hurt some. Nichole concentrated and walked around breaking them in.

 

[whateverwater]

"No. Not like that either. That is closer, but not right.' Dimitri commented while trying to perfect Aarons bow. 'It's just a bow. It can't be that complex.' He thought while trying to perform it once more.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole practiced her curtsy and sighed in her head. Then kept practing. After it was time for her to learn which silverware to use. Nichole sweatdropped. This would be difficult. She sat down and looked at them all.

 

[whateverwater]

"Say it. Come on, say it. That's all you have to do now." Dimitri coaxed Aaron then asked again "What do you ask the princess?" Forcing his voice to.not stammer or shake, he answered "May I have this dance?" The phrase sounded not only embarrassing, but also cliché to Aaron.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole sighed in her head as she finally started getting it down. And ate a course of food. A small salad and some soup.

 

[whateverwater]

A satisfied Dimitri spoke in short sentences "You are ready. You may eat now." With a shrug, Aaron walked over to the table Nichole was seated at and sat at the chair next to hers. A man rushed over to him and asked "Would you like a serving of food, prince Aaron?" "Yes, I would greatly appreciate it." He answered not caring if his response was proper.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole finished and rested her head on the table. "This is too much..." grumbling. "sit up straight princess. Good posture. "Ella said. Nichole sat up and said"can we take a break?" "No sorry you must be fitted for your clothes for the ball."

 

[whateverwater]

The same man came back and sat down a plate of steak and salad with a bowl of soup. After taking a bite of the meat, he was suprised by its nice taste. Looking over at Nichole, Aaron decided to see if she would like to piece by asking her "Would you like to try some of this steak?" He was oblivious the conversaition Nichole and Ella had.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole blushed and said"sure." Smiling softly. Ella said"no no no. You mustnt. You must never do that. Keep to your own plates. The germs transferred from that could get you sick. " Nichole facedesked the table. Will they even have privacy? ! This ball had way too many rules. Even though she followed the rules. This seemed a little extreme.

 

[whateverwater]

With a slight frown, Aaron kept eating his own food. Dimitri came back once again and said to him "Its time for you to dress in appropriate attire for the royal ball, prince Aaron." He turned to Nichole and gave a light hug while saying "I will see you at the ball then."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole blushed and sighed. "Cmon princess Nichole. You too."ella said leading Nichole back to her room. Nichole blinked as she was sitting in a bath of rose petals. She sighed as a maid brushed her hair. When the bath was over it was time to get ready. Nichole sat down after a corset was put on. And she hated the thing! Then got into her dress and shoes.

her dress.


Nichole's hair was styled into an elegant bun, two pieces of her hair curled framing her face. Some lipstick was applied to her lips, a bit of blush, and light pink eye shadow. they had her remove her pendant sadly for the night. Her wings were brushed and a pink ribbon tied around her neck. Her tiara was placed on her head.

 

[whateverwater]

(Its Louise from Zero no Tsukaima. Nice anime Louise is a little too much tsundere for me though)


It was a rather quick chain events for Aaron. Undress, bathe, dry, and then dress. It was strange being dressed in formal clothes to him.

(I don't know if men in this world wear normal suit and tie or the frilly extravagant clothes)

Aaron felt ready to go to ball, but Dimitri wanted him to take off his pendant so Aaron placed it into his pants pocket. "Now you can go to the royal ball." Dimitri smiled to him while motioning to the door.

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole walked down the hall holding up her gown. She sighed and waited for aaron to come out. Gosh this would be a long night. Her wings were open wide because she had to be 'regal'. (I didnt like saito >.> went with all the girls breakibg Louise' s heart sometimes >.> I wanted to punch that dude.)

 

[whateverwater]

(Louise was the only girl he really loved though. The last episode showed it well.)


"I almost forgot, keep your wings open too." Dimitri said closing the door behind them. "Really?" Aaron asked with a confused look. Dimitri answered with after a sigh "Yes, really." Spreading his wings out, Aaron noticed Nichole waiting for him. He walked over to her side and smiled "You look nice, but you look nice even in pjs and a tank top."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole blushed crimson and said"thanks." Smiling. "Shall we?" She said holding out her hand to him and picked up the hem of her dress with her other hand.

 

[whateverwater]

"We shall." Aaron smiled as he held Nichole's hand. Walking into the ballroom, he saw many people and servers rushing about. Once the two teenagers walked they mostly shifted to whispers and gave them room to walk through. The parents of Aaron and Nichole were joyfully making their way towards the teenagers. Aaron's father said with tears showing in his eyes and a smile "You look handsome, son. And princess Nichole looks beautiful as well."

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole curtsied and said"good evening your majesty and thank you for the compliment. "Then stood up straight. The music playing was calming and nice. Ciara said"you look beautiful nichole. And you look handsome prince aaron."smiling and curtsied.

 

[whateverwater]

Aaron bowed and replied to both their compliments "Thank you, your majesty, father." Walking over to where guests were dancing, he prepared himself to ask the question. In the middle of the room, Aaron turned to Nichole and asked in a warm tone "May I have this dance?"

 

[twilight sparkle]

Nichole took his hand fighting down a blush. "you may."curtsying. She stood and smiled softly. Her parents smiled.
