Tiara Time

Hi everyone this is just my idea of what would happen when Thorne and Cinder went out to go pick a tiara.

Cinder stood on the balcony of the New Beijing palace. She just stood there and looked over the Eastern Commonwealth thinking about how much had happened during the revolution on Luna. It amazed her how much her and her friends had changed about the Earth and Luna. Her thoughts were interrupted by a knock at the door.

"Hey, I have been looking for you everywhere!" Thorne announced as he strode into the room.

Carswell Thorne had developed a strong friendship with the young queen and so although he was annoying, Cinder had learned to enjoyed having his presence around. He always somehow managed to see the best in everything.

"So, you found me what do you want?" Cinder asked sternly, turning her body away from the balcony and taking a few steps inside and towards him.

"Well, I was sitting in my room looking at my portscreen when I remembered that I had some unfinished business with you. "

"Oh, and just what might that be?"

"Remember when I said that I would help you pick out a tiara once we won the revolution?"
Thorne questioned while flashing her a mischievous grin.

Cinder's mind raced to find a connection. And then it hit her, exactly what he was talking about. "Oh nonononono, there is absolutely no way that you and I are going to get me a tiara," she said.

Just then Iko burst in through the door screaming, "Wait, we're going tiara shopping for Cinder? There is no way I'm missing this."

"Iko, were you eavesdropping on us?" Cinder asked.

Iko looked away. "Of course not, that would most definitely be super rude." she said bashfully.

"Annyyywwwaaayysss, back to what's really important, me." Thorne cut in, pointing two thumbs at himself.

Both the girls gave Thorne a glare. He shrunk back putting his hands up as if in defeat.

"Geez I was just kidding. You two are so serious. What I meant was, Iko help me convince Cinder to go tiara shopping." he said gesturing his hands at Cinder.

"Ok no problem I've got this. I mean I've practically been with Cinder all her life." Iko stated confidently. Cinder rolled her eyes upon hearing this remark.

"Cinder" Iko started "if you don't come with Thorne and I, we will pester you endlessly until you do."

"And we'll go and get Kai to join us in the merriment." Thorne added

"You guys want to know something?" Cinder asked. They both nodded there heads furiously. "Both of you are pure evil." Thorne and Iko quickly glanced at each other before smirking at her. "However, I still think I'm going to pass." Their smirks immedietly dropped.

Cinder then slowly began to exit the room before she felt a poke at her elbow. She turned to see Thorne jabbing her elbow while calling. "Cindercindercindercindercindercindercinder!!!" She slapped his hand away.

"Thorne, what the hell?! Quit it!"

"Only if you come tiara shopping with us." He pried. She ignored him and continued out into the hallway. She was halfway down the hallway when she felt yet another finger poking at her elbow. This time when Cinder turned around her eyes were greeted by Iko who was whining in the most annoying high pitched voice she had ever heard saying.

"Awwww but Cinnderrrr you've just gotta come with us. Otherwise it won't be any fun!!!"

Cinder clenched her teeth together before completely turning around with her fists at her sides. "You know what? Fine I'll go 'tiara' shopping with you, but if either one of you touch me again I swear I will punch you in the face. With my metal hand." She threatened.

"I'm an android Cinder, so if you punch me I won't feel a thing." Iko remarked. Cinder gave her a glare and if looks could kill, Iko would have been long gone.

Iko turned to face Thorne and gave him a high five. "Nice work Iko."

"I appreciate doing business with you Mr. Thorne." Iko replied before offering Thorne a handshake. He swiftly took her hand and shook it. Cinder rolled her eyes while playing with the hem of t-shirt. Each of her friends then linked their arm through one of hers so that they were all walking next to each other.

"Well, now that we have that all figured out. Let us be on our way." Thorne said. He gave Cinder a quick wink and Iko a nod. Iko nodded her head in return and faced fowards looking as if she were about to march.

Thorne tilted his head up proudly, Iko placed her free hand on her hip, and Cinder just groaned at the thought of going shopping. With that the threesome walked down the hallway and towards the royal jeweler.
