The moment Marie stepped into the castle, maid Lauren scrambled up to her, her ears pinned to her head nervously. "Princess Marie! Prince Jackson from Triggatia kingdom came just a bit to early..." she said looking back behind herself. "How long has he been here?" Marie asked, biting the inside of her cheek. "Just a few minutes but we need to get you dressed!" Lauren says quickly before dragging Marie off to her room.

Once they made it to Marie's room, Lauren went to her closet and pulled out a green dress from the back, it was an emerald green, with a light blue strips running across the frame of the dress. Lauren gave the dress to Marie and turned around, Covering her eyes for extra effect. Marie glanced at her quickly before changing out of her magenta dress, into her emerald green dress. "I'm done." Marie said looking back at the shorter fox shifter. Lauren quickly turned around and uncovered her eyes, clapping her hands as she does so.

"You look magical princess Marie!" She exclaimed cheerfully, Marie's cheeks darkened in response. "Thank you Lauren." Marie said with a small smile. " Come on we need to go before the prince gets skeptical." Lauren said, taking Marie's arm, taking her up the stairs to a room.

There sat the prince talking to a red haired red-panda shifter maid who was cheerfully keeping him company, when the two noticed the Marie and Lauren, the red haired shifter took her chance and quickly bolted out the door.

"Bye bye Sarah, hope to talk again soon!" The prince called out to her. He had messy dirty blonde hair with dirty blonde wolf ears poking out it, crystal blue eyes and tan skin, he was wearing the classic Triggatia prince outfit with a dirty blonde wolf tail poking out of his rear and brown shoes. He got up for the chair in the desk and went up to Marie kneeled on one knee and kissed her hand before getting back up on two feet. "Princess, nice to meet you~" he said in a sickly sweet tone as he looked at her with his diamond blue eyes.

"Nice to meet you too prince Jackson." Marie said in a deadpan voice, his smile faltered. "so what shall we do today for our date Princess?" He expressed his smile stretching a little wider than before. "Maybe the forest?" Marie suggested. "Oh Yes! I have a wonderful place I would like to show you there!" Jackson said his tail waging side to side. "May we go then?" Marie asked her ears flickering in curiosity. "Of course Princess!" Jackson said grabbing on to Marie's hand and taking her out of the pale castle.

The place was beautiful a big light cherry blossom tree and a wonderful shade right under it, with a crystal blue stream flowing right next to it, perfect for picking petals, and relaxing, that's exactly what Zora was out here for. She didn't want to go home just yet, and this was her secret place. Zora had always remembered the story's her mother would tell her, how she planted the tree, how she took care of it, and how she sung a song under the tree while she was still pregnant with Zora.

Zora leaned her head onto the tree bark, slid down the bark to the grassy ground below, and closed her eyes. She was at peace, she was calm, just listening to the birds sing their early morning song, feeling the sun rays on her face, the small blades of grass underneath pricking at her hand softly. Due to her ecolocation she could hear two pairs if foot prints coming her way, but ignored them for now and dozed off to a peaceful slumber.

"Just this way princess!" Jackson said still grasping onto Marie's hand. Once they got there, he shouted a 'we're here!' To a mentally offline Marie staring at the very familiar witch from this morning. Her head was against the bark of the big cherry blossom tree, the sun shining its rays onto her face as she dozed off to dream land, her ears twitching with a mind if it's own as she clutched a basket full of light pink petals from the tree, her tail wrapped around her waist laying limp on her lap.

"Ah.." Jackson trailed off, he walked to the sleeping witch and tapped her shoulder, making Zora jolt awake. "Ah! S-Sorry prince Jackson." Zora said stumbling to her feet, before bowing to the prince before her. "Its okay just make sure to not do it again, okay?" Jackson said, Zora nodded, she took the basket the had left on the ground, and turned to leave. "W-wait!" Marie said, Zora turned in confusion. "U-uh what's your name, I never got it at the exchange.." Marie said sheepishly, averting her eyes to the ground, avoiding eye contact in embarrassment. Zora just smiled. "I'm Zora nice to properly meet you, princess Marie." Zora spoke briefly before waving good bye and walking into the abyss called the woods.

"Now that we're alone I can properly talk to you." Jackson said before grabbing Marie's hand and taking her to the base of the cherry blossom tree, where Zora was sleeping a few moments prior. "Look I don't know if you support this or not but I'm gay and already have someone in mind so if you'd be like everyone else and reject me that would be really nice." Jackson said in a low tone, Marie's eyes widened, so she didn't have to rule with him, but there's many others in line along with him but he's one down and about 2 more to go since there are four kingdoms.

Marie let out a  sigh of relief. "Oh thank goodness, don't tell my mother or my father about this but I'm a lesbian I don't like men so thank you for this." Marie said in a hushed voice. Jackson looked shocked at first but then her had a grin. "Gay twin?" He asked flicking his wrist down. "Gay twin." Marie confirmed flicking her wrist down as well.
