1 week passes and it's the night before our flight. I have packed minimal things like pajamas and few outfits and necessities. I'd imagine they're providing a hunk of the items for this "ball". Maybe if I wear sweatpants, none of the alien men will notice me! That seems like a very viable option.
Celestia went a little all out and tried to pack her best things and I don't blame her. She's been excited this past week and she brightened up the mood of our apartment. Her optimism has really rubbed off on me and I can see why some people would be excited about the prospects of this. The pdf outlining the benefits of this finding an alien man to marry would secure your future forever on their planet and on ours. It could also allow those who cant find someone to have a family with another hope. I don't blame them, some human men are truly not the best. Unfortunately I don't feel like the right target audience for this event.
Our flight leaves at 10 PM so we quickly pack up and we call an Uber to go to the airport. Once we arrive, we see all the other girls that are coming and we all bunch together trying to figure out where our flight gate is. We were given instructions on where to find the gate, but we weren't given a destination or a time of arrival. Everything is clouded in mystery.
We finally sit on our seats on the plane and take some of the snacks and refreshments the airline workers give us. Sooner or later I feel the drowsiness hit me and I knock out.
–
I wake upfeeling really groggy and confused on where I am. I'll look around looking for Celestia and see her right next to me. I ask her "Hey, have we made it yet?"
She replies, "yep! They're just getting everything set and then we can leave and get our suitcase."
I try to look out the window to get a clue of where we could be. However, it just looks really sunny and I see a lot of blue so I feel like we might be near an ocean, but that doesn't really give us much to go off of.
Sooner or later, we all get off the plane and we enter this building that resembles an airport but is way smaller and seems like it was nearly built just for the ball. We all grab our luggage and we head out to the buses for us to arrive at our hotel. I try to look at some of the other girls faces to understand how everyone's feeling. I'm getting some mixed feelings where some seem happy or hopeful what others seem depressed or just indifferent to the whole thing.
On the trip to the hotel, I realize that were on some private island that I have no clue about. The thought of being on an island I can't escape or know anything about scares me a little. What if I say no in these alien men don't know how to take a rejection? I really hope the government has taught them some manners.
In the hotel, I share a room with Celestia. It's pretty spacious with dusk two beds and two closets and a bathroom that we share. In the closet there are around five ball gown and fancy cocktail like dresses. The doors of the desk are filled with makeup tools and make up. I am pleasantly surprised by all the tools they gave us. The bathroom was also stocked up.
After a long night and day of traveling, I soon knock out. The next morning, the workers of the event usher us out. We are all brought to this giant store and each handed an itinerary named Pamprr day. It has the locations of several stores related to waxing shaving showering, sauna and etc.. It was basically a day to pamper ourselves before the ball day in one day.
I haven't treated myself nice in a while, this seems like a treat and a half.
"I might hate the government right now, but this is pretty cool." I say to celestia.
"Yay I'm glad you're opening up to this. Please let us waste no more time and try out EVERYTHING!" She says excitedly.
We start planning out what we are gonna do: going to the sauna, getting waxed, showering, then getting massaged, and then moisturized to top it off. Sounds like a lovely day! In the middle of the day they were providing lunch boxes and water which was great.
Once we are done, we head to dinner since it's gotten so late and my body felt sore but beautiful and clean. I'm just in a great mood since we also made a few friends.
We met Daphne Hadge who is 25 and Valerie Singh who is 24. They're both beautiful and such lovely people. Daphne is a 5'7 Brazilian with dirty blonde hair and dark brown eyes. Valerie is a 5'4 Blasian with beautiful long black braids and light brown eyes.
As we are all chatting and eating, we hear someone clinking their glass. Everyone gets quiet and a voice speaks up that we all look at. It was a group of wannabe mean girl looking group.
"Hello ladies, I'm so glad we could all be gathered here today. I am Megnha Ailens and the girls next to me are Tiffanae James and Holly Gale. They're my best friends. I just wanted to introduce ourselves. I wanted to make an announcement that I claim whichever prince I desire as mine. If you dare compete with me for my prince, there will be consequences." She says giving us a stern mean girl face.
The girl, Holly if I remember correctly, next to her whispers something's. She speaks up again, "Oh also, there's only three princes and there's three of us. So I guess no one else here but us 3 will be going for the Princes. Find your own alien men ladies. Thank you, I look forward to the ball tomorrow!" She says cheerily and heads off to the hotel.
"What the actual fuck? Could they be any more entitled?" Daphne says with a disgusted look on her face.
Valerie laughs and says "I can't believe there are mean girls here already claiming men they haven't met."
"I guess we will see what goes down tomorrow night, I'm kind of excited!" Celestia adds on.
"I had no clue there were was even a Prince, let alone 3, can someone catch me up?" I interrupt since I felt really lost.
"Omg yes I'll explain!" Says Daphne. She goes on speaking about how their Kunai species has been ruling using a royal court much like our old European courts. The only thing is, since their population has dindled, they only have one court with many smaller courts to ensure the voice of everyone is heard. The royal family consists of the King: Julius Kunai, the Queen: Wimberely Kunai, and their three sons. We aren't sure the names of the sons as they would be apart of the ball tomorrow, so they wanted to maintain their privacy.
I stare at her in awe as she explains everything she can and I take in all the information I can. We soon head to our rooms to sleep and get ready for the festivities tomorrow. I have a pit of anxiousness about tomorrow, but I'm sure it will be fine.
I hope I have a peaceful night of sleep because I don't know if that will be the case the next few days.
