Day by day all six friends got settled with the situation and started to live their new life.

The next day, they got ready and reached the dining hall, and sat together doing breakfast.

 "I am thinking to arrange a grand ball for our princesses' return." The King said.

 "It's a fantastic idea!" Abha exclaimed. 

"Mirchi Mantri, arrange a grand ball tonight." The king ordered. 

"Sure, your highness, I will arrange it tonight." Mirchi Mantri replied.

 "Father, can we arrange the ball? Please, I have only read stories about the grand ball. Please can we?" Shakti asked. 

"Ok dear, If you all don't have any problem, so you can." The King replied. "But, princesses I will do that.

I will manage it, what is the need to take this responsibility?" Mirchi Mantri interrupted.

 "You don't take tension, our princesses will manage everything. I think you all should set a theme." Queen suggested. 

"Yeah sure, we will set a unique theme. Diksha will give us many ideas." Khushbu said. 

"And one thing to inform you all is that stop calling each other with those real world's names," Queen warned them. 

"Ok mom, we will try it," Siya said.

 From then they just called each other with their real names.

Everybody finished their breakfast and went into their rooms.

After some time princesses met in their clubhouse for preparation and discussion of tonight's ball. 

"So, what are your ideas about the ball?" Fruity asked.

 "I think we should set the theme of a unicorn." Candy suggested.

 "Perfect! We will do that only. So, I have made a list of whose work is what. Diksha, I... mean candy will prepare the designs of a unicorn. Fruity and Oreo will manage the meal and Cookie will design an invitation for the ball and I will see the decorations." Milky explained.

 Everybody went to complete their work. Candy made some beautiful designs of the unicorn. She made their posters and printed them perfectly for the walls of the ballroom. 

Fruity and Oreo went into the Royal kitchen. A maid working there brought them a long list of dishes. Their mouths were watering reading that list of flavorful dishes. After a long time, they decided to order the maids for making Princess cake, Coronation chicken salad, Raspberry Charlotte, Victoria sponge cake, Sausage rolls, Beef wellington, Dubonnet cocktail, and more. 

Milky went into Hershey's showpiece shop and bought some decoration materials for the decoration of the ballroom. Cookie tried her best to make a design of the invitation card. After a while, Cookie came with her design of the invitation letter. 

She showed it to everybody.

                               PROCLAMATION

             BY ORDER OF HIS MAJESTY THE KING 

Today has been declared a special day for our beloved princesses' return to the kingdom. In celebration, a grand feast shall be held at the Chocolate Land Royal Banquet Hall. Honored guests are invited to celebrate happiness and joy with us.

"It is so good. We will surprise everybody showing our hard work for preparing the ball." Bourbon said. 

But, they didn't know that Munch frog listened to their conversation. He directly went towards the Mirchi Mantri and told him everything. Mirchi Mantri came into the ballroom where the preparations were going on. 

"Mirchi Mantri, please go and order the soldiers for sending invitations to different kingdoms." Cookie said giving the invitation letter to him. 

"Sure, princess cookie." He said and left.

After he came back milky was telling the servants for hanging a very attractive chandelier in the middle of the ballroom. Mirchi Mantri thought of an idea. After the chandelier was hanged, milky went to see the decoration of the window. He went towards the servant and gave him some money.

 "Take this money and do my work. Hang the chandelier with a rope and tie it to a pillar. But nobody should notice that." He said. The servant did as he said. 

"When king and queen will come below this chandelier, I will cut the rope and whatever will happen is going to be a victory for me." He giggled thinking to himself.

The grand ball started. King and Queen came into the ballroom. 

"This is a special day for us! After waiting for these many years, our daughters have returned. Thank you all for coming here and celebrating our happiness!" King said. 

They welcomed all the guests and the dance started. Everybody danced enjoying the party. Mirchi Mantri took the knife and sneaked off towards the pillar. He started cutting the rope. The rope was so thick that it took much time for cutting.

Slowly the chandelier was getting loosed, sluggishly it was moving downwards. Princess Oreo saw that and understood that it was going to fall. There were few seconds for it to fall when she rushed towards the middle of the ballroom and pushed the king and queen. Both were saved but Oreo's leg came below it.

 "Oreo...Are you fine dear?" Queen shouted. 

"Mom my leg, it's paining terribly!" Oreo cried. They raised the chandelier from her leg and called the royal doctor for her treatment. He told that her leg was fractured due to that huge chandelier. She was hospitalized for one day and nobody talked about how that chandelier fell. 

The ball was ended awfully and everybody slept thinking about the incident.

But, Mirchi Mantri was disappointed. 

"Leave it, boss, King, and Queen were saved so what, the princess Oreo's leg is fractured. You should come with a better plan next time." Munch frog comforted him. 

"Yeah, I have a great plan for tomorrow. The servant who did my work yesterday was trying to run out of the palace. I caught him and asked to do my other work for money. He agreed to speak lie in the royal court tomorrow." Mirchi Mantri said. 

"Great idea sir, you will win tomorrow!" Munch Frog hopped saying it. He slept thinking about it.
