Nora sat by a tree writing in her journal. It was sunny outside, the sky looked like a orange-ish blue color. The sun rose not too long ago. Nora looked up at the sky seeing the small clouds that passed by every so often, she smiled. "Never gets old." She said softly. She looked back down at her journal and continued to write, the warm breeze on her pale skin as she wrote. Her purple and white dress blew just slightly in the small breeze that passed by. She would occasionally wave to some people that walked by, she was just enjoying the soft spring. "Nora? Nora!" A voice came from behind her that made her jump, it was Leo. Her best friend. "God Leo! You scared me half to death!" She took a breath for a moment. "Why aren't you at the castle? We need your help with the coronation!" Leo exclaimed. "Wait what?" She looked at the time, it read 9:30 am. "Shit! Thanks for the reminder!" Nora gets up and runs towards the castle.

"Okay everyone! Let's get to work!" Lilith smiled. "Hey! Sorry I'm late." Nora was sweating and breathing heavy. "There you are! You need a bath and you need to try on dresses! Come with me, Leo set up the coronation!" Lilith grabbed Nora's hand and dragged her with her.

"I can't believe it.." Akira smiled as he stared into the mirror. "She's gonna be my queen." Akira was blushing a little. "I'm happy for you Akira." Travis smiled. "Thanks Travis.. I just can't wait to see her." Akira smiled widely.

"No! You can't mix the purple with the red! That isn't what we agreed on at all! Purple goes with the white and the black goes with the red." Leo instructed. "Hey Leo, how's the setting up going?" Travis walked into the coronation room. "It's going alright." Leo smiled. "No Quinn! You can't put the candles there!" Leo shouted. Travis chuckled. "Seems like you've got it covered huh?" Travis laughed. "Yup!" Leo smiled. "Get off the table!!" Leo shouted at the workers.

"Let's get you all clean!" Lilith pushed Nora into a changing room and stripped her of her clothes. "Hey!" Nora placed her hands over her private parts. "Don't be ashamed, I did the same for Akira's mother. Now in the bath you go!" Lilith pushed Nora into a bathtub. "Meanie.." she huffed under her breath. "Wash up! Don't need you smelling like a dog on your coronation day!" Lilith smiled and walked away to get some clothes. Nora chuckled. She washed her hair and her body. She grabbed her towel and got out of the tub, wrapping her towel around herself.

Akira was practicing his speech. "And with this ring, I now pronounce-" Akira cut himself off. "Ew why did I sound like that?" Akira sighed. Nora walked into the room with a corset and some shorts on. "Hey." She smiled. "Hey, you'rere supposed to be with Lilith getting ready." Akira walked up to her. "I know, I'm hiding from her." She looks back at the door then back at Akira and chuckles. "You know I can't see you in your dress." Akira moves her long blonde hair out of her face. Akira went to lean in for a kiss but Nora placed her finger onto his lips. "Ah, ah, ah." Nora chuckled. "You may only kiss me when the coronation starts." Nora smiles. "Aw.. but I wanna kiss you now." Akira wraps his arm around her waist pulling her closer. "My rules." Nora smiles proudly. "Fine, guess I'll have to wait my little poet." Akira smiles back. "You should probably head back to Lilith. She would kill us both if she found you here." Akira walked back up to his mirror. "Yeah, wouldn't wanna risk that huh?" Nora chuckled and walked up to the door. "I'll see you at coronation my king." Nora smiled. "I'll see you at coronation my soon to be queen." Akira bowed to her. She giggled and left the room. "God.. I love her so much." Akira thought to himself. "God I love him so much.." Nora thought to herself as she walked back to the dressing room.

"There you are! We aren't done yet." Lilith grabbed Nora's hand and pulled her towards her. "Let's get this corset figured out shall we?" Lilith chuckled, she grabbed the two strings in the back and pulled them tightly Nora gasped a little. "It's a little tight don't you think..?" Nora gave a nervous chuckle. "Really? I don't think it's tight enough!" Lilith joked around. "Now let's get your dress on." Lilith smiles, she hands Nora her dress. Nora steps into the dress as Lilith zips it up. Then Nora is now sitting in a chair as Lilith does her hair. "You did this for Akira's mother Aurie?" Nora asked. "Yup, I even walked her down the aisle." Lilith smiles. "She must have been so excited." Nora looked down at her hands. "What's wrong dear?" Lilith asked, "Oh nothing, just.. a little nervous that's all." Nora chuckled nervously. "It's okay to be nervous Nora, everyone gets nervous. Even Aurie was nervous." Lilith smiles. After finishing up Nora's hair and makeup, Nora stood up from the chair. "Woah.." Lilith smiles. "You look just like Aurie did." Lilith chuckles. "Do you think he'll like it..?" Nora asked, "Of course my dear. He's be a fool if he didn't." Lilith grabbed both of Nora's hands as she reassured her. "Now, let's get you to that aisle shall we?" Lilith took Nora to the aisle.
