His and Her Blue Festival

Chapter 9: To be Your True Self

(And we have one more chapter until this book is finished! I am still not sure what is next, but I will think of something! I also love the idea of a partner protecting the other without hestiation. Even better in the form of a dance! Enjoy!)

          "What?! I am not performing with Aquamarine?!" Prince Rielle exclaimed to Proserpina in the morning on the stage in disbelief.

The darkness was frustrated by the change in plans along with a distraught Proserpina.

"I am sorry, but the dorm leaders of Night Raven College believed it would be best if there was a little change. They want a student from their school and ours to share a dance" she explained in a tired manner, "Although I wanted to protest, they were adamant about it. They believed it would be best for Azul to be dancing with Aquamarine for the final performance"

The darkness couldn't' believe their luck. The student who helped foil their plans was actually going to dance with their dancer? Perfect.

"No!" Rielle yelled as he tried to break the darkness' hold on him internally, "Pina! Please don't do this! Don't let this dance happen!"

Darkness slowly and quietly wrapped itself around the prince to then covering his mouth! The prince was alarmed as he struggled against it until he lost his strength and fell to it. The darkness couldn't keep the prince in their hold for long since he was being surrounded by power magic, light, and darkness.

Quickly taking control of the prince, the darkness responded through him, "Ah, well, that makes sense. They are holding the event here. It only makes sense that they get a dance they want. Is Aquamarine aware?"

Pina noticed his lack of nicknames, but she responded in a cheerful manner, "I am going to inform her of this change now. Would you like to come with me?"

"Sure!" the prince replied as they left the stage and went to the lounge area first.

Pina glanced to the prince and glanced to her phone to appear busy. In truth, she was making sure the phone was recording their conversation along with their magic levels for Idia and Ortho to analyze. Both were in Idia's room with Lea laying in Idia's bed who was checking his Gummi phone.

"So, how's your girlfriend doing?" Lea asked in a knowing tone before smirking when he caught sight of Idia's hair changing from blue to pink.

"She's fine and you know it!" Idia snapped as Ortho giggled at how shy and embarrassed he was, "Anyway, I can pick up traces of dark and light magic coming from the two of them. You and your friends were correct. Darkness did find a way into the prince"

He waved his hand to create a big, blue screen to reveal the results to himself and Ortho. Idia examined it and simply nodded to himself about some of the results. Although it wasn't at Overblot levels yet, Idia was worried it could reach it. It is a possibility he must consider. Now more than ever since Azul can't help him calculate the odds. Idia pulled up another screen that held his family's logo and company.

"What are you doing?" Lea asked with a brow raised as he sat up from the bed to examine the screen.

"Something illegal" Idia confessed with a shrug, "But who cares? I'm going to own this by default anyway. Ortho, I want to make sure Styx can be shut down on when I give the order"

This surprised the humanoid who looked at his big brother from the side.

Idia rolled his eyes before confessing, "I don't really care about the RSA students, and I know our classmates can handle themselves in any situation since they are SSR characters. Unfortunately, Pina cares about her classmates and knows what happens if they are ever taken to Styx. So, how about I be a rebellious teenager for once and keep this a secret to us? Just in case we roll those odds, of course"
