My fantastic Adventure In Dreamtopia

The beginning

I opened my eyes to meet myself as a crying little baby. I couldn't stop crying and it was really annoying.

" Awwwwn, the princess is crying. " The nearby maids rushed to attend to me and they tried to stop me from crying.
It was really true. This was the dream I had to play and I was princess Aria. I stared at my tiny arms and legs in awe.

I was in a cot in a small room. I was dressed in an attire for little children and the shock of all that was happening made me even cry more.

I looked to my side and saw a child my age in the cot. She appeared to be fast asleep and her loud snoring disturbed my ears. I was wondering who she was when I heard a familiar ping.

[You're probably wondering who that is. That's princess Mira Seraphine and she is your twin sister. ]

" You never told me I was still going to have a twin sister. " What I said sounded like babbles to everyone around me but the system could understand me.

[You should expect anything]

Well, they were right. The baby beside me , Mira, as I was told her name was, was awoken by my constant cries and babbles.

She cried even louder and more annoying than I did. The maids rushed to attend to her and she was cared for. The whole situation was too embarrassing for me.

Stupid baby.

I planned to enjoy the dream world to the fullest and expected nothing to hinder me. My twin sister looked like she was going to stop me from that.

" Why do I have to have a stupid twin. " I voiced out loud but no one understood me. Well except for the other baby who had stopped crying now.

She looked at me with pleading eyes, then without even opening her mouth, she communicated to me.

<Do you hate me?> I heard the voice in my mind.

<Wait, you can talk? Well not like you're not talking but, you're also talking. >

I could do it too. This was telepathy.
I didn't remember anything from when I was in reality but I still had knowledge above that of a baby.

[You and Mira can communicate using telepathy. This happened because you are twins]

That explains something. But how come she is smart enough to compose words?

I asked myself, but just overlooked it later on.

" Queen Isolde is coming to see her children. Arrange them well. " A senior servant ordered the other ones and they rushed to attend to us. We were cleaned and taken care of specially.

<Queen Isolde? Probably our mother  >

Few minutes later the queen came in. She looked and walked so elegantly. She had shoulder length brown hair and a blue dress. She was adorned with beautiful jewelries. Some servants and maids followed her from behind.

^^Queen Isolde

" This is Mira right? " She asked one of the servant who had been standing by her side.

" I am aria not Mira " I said to her even if she didn't understand me.

" This is Aria and the other is Mira " The servant corrected while been as polite as possible.

Mira looked excited to see the queen and beckoned for attention. Queen Isolde, who was holding my hand and caressing my hair, was amused by Mira's way of constantly laughing and smiling.
She left me for my twin and spent some time with us. We laughed and played together and I was so excited to have a twin and mother like them.

" Bring me my purse. I want to give this children a snack. " Queen Isolde ordered one of her maids.

The maid's right hand glowed a bright red and stretched to where her purse the queen's purse was which amused me and Mira. The system had once told me about this magical powers but it was the first time I saw it being used. Mira was even more amused  than I was and her eyes beamed with joy.

< Amazing> She always made sure to talk to me through my mind which slightly disturbed me.

The queen looked at us and saw our surprised looks at what the maid just did.

" Don't worry, I'll explain it to you when you get a bit older. You probably won't understand now. Your minds are still young. "

" No tell me now. I can understand, but I don't know about Mira though. " I didn't realize I was crying already.

I hate this baby body

Not long after, Mira also started crying and even louder. I covered my tiny ears to prevent the piercing sound of her crying.

" Are you hungry? " Queen Isolde was ignorant and didn't understand our reason for crying.

I nodded my head in the negative and she seemed to get what we were trying to communicate to her.

" Aren't you children a little smart for your age? " Her question somehow made Mira stop crying.

My case was understandable, but I didn't know about Mira's.

As Queen Isolde was about to utter something, one of the servants interrupted.

" Your Highness, you have passed the limit set in your schedule for spending time with your kids. You need to attend to other duties. Besides, we have guests coming to see us. You know, they'd like to see the children. "

Great. Just when we are enjoying time with the queen, no our mother.

<Isn't her time with us more important than the so called 'other duties '. >Mira looked as disappointed as I was and her normally overly excited mood dampened.

" When are the guests coming? " Queen Isolde asked standing up to leave.

" In about thirty minutes. They are going to be having dinner with us. They are the King and Queen of a neighboring kingdom. The notice came to us late so we don't know that much about their visit. "The servant explained to her.

" They must be some respected people to be given permission from the king to see us. " The Queen muttered not quite loud.

" Well, goodbye my adorable kids. I will find some time again. Aria and Mira. "
Mira sadly waved her goodbye and slumped back into the bed.

<Don't bother yourself so much. We'll be presented in front of those guests, and we'll be able to see our mother and even the king>

Mira cheered up and shook her rattle really hard. Now she was really acting like a normal child would.

About thirty minutes later, as the servant said, we were cleaned and tidied by the maids to prepare us to look presentable to the guests. I wasn't all that dirty, but Mira was. She had stained her clothes with snacks and it took them a longer time to get her cleaned.

Then we were taking to the dining room and we're given little chairs and our own tables to seat on.

The guests arrived shortly after. From their appearance, they were royalty. They were ushered into the dinning room.

[They have come for something other than visitation]
