-a few days later Earthquake's b-day-

Earthquake's POV

The most awaited day has finally came, today was Dec. 13; my birthday and the day I was going to be crowned as king. I was currently straightening my suit, I sighed as I looked at my mirror and questioned my self. 'am I really fit to be king?' a knock on my door disturb me in my thoughts "Come in." I said , the door opened revealing thunderstorm and my other siblings "You ready!?!" Thunderstorm asked and I smiled "Ready as I'll ever be." I replied "Come on Mom and Dad are waiting for you at the ballroom." Cyclone informed and I nodded,

all of us went to the ballroom as we entered everyone quieted down and stared at us. After a few minutes passed applauses filled the room, at the end of the room were mom and dad sitting on their thrones. We went to them me in the lead and as we arrive we stood beside them "Good evening ladies and gentlemen, thank you for coming to this historic day." My dad as he stood up "as you all know my eldest son." he looked at me before returning his gaze to his subjects "is going to be crowned king but first let us enjoy the celebration." he finished and everyone cheered, music started playing in the background and everyone grabbed a partner to dance with. "Good luck Big bro." Blaze said before dashing off with Cyclone giggling as they raced each other to the chocolate fountain "When will they ever grow up?" I hear thunderstorm complain beside me making me smile "Probably...Never." ice stated and I looked at him who was beside thunderstorm "I'm surprised to see you still up." I said and he sighed "oh... Thanks for reminding me Quake, see you guys later." he said waving goodbye "He needs to participate somethings rather than sleep all the time." I stated and Thunderstorm nodded, the two of us stood there for a while not knowing what to do until a group of girls surrounded us who started flirting with my younger brother. I managed to squeeze my way out "I'm sorry Thundy." I mumbled and dashed off, I stopped at a pillar and caught a glimpse of Yaya who was talking to Ying and was heading my way. I panic and hid myself, when they passed by I let out a sighed of relief , I walked out of the ballroom and into the balcony which was empty thank god. I lean on the railing enjoying the view of the moon.

"what are you doing here?" I hear someone asked behind me, I turned around to see Fang; arms crossed and in his uniform "well?" he asked again waiting for my answer "Uhmm...Nothing." I lied and he rolled his eyes at me "You're lying, Quake." he said "Shouldn't you be in there? Yaya has already arrived go meet her." I grimaced when he mentioned Yaya "that's it Fang!" I exclaimed "What if she finds out I lied to her posing as someone else? She'll reject me on the spot." I said full of worry, Fang stared at me for a while and smiled softly "Dude I know Yaya since I was a kid, she won't be mad at you, maybe shocked at first but she'll get over it." he assured "well that's what I think but you'll never know until  you talk to her." I gave him a smile while coming up to him patting him on his shoulder "thanks Fang, I owe you one." "Nah... Don't mention it." He said walking away probably going back to his post, I went back to the ballroom as I arrived I surveyed the crowd. I saw Yaya alone next to a pillar probably waiting for Ying to come back 'this is my chance' I thought and went to her passing a few girls who were trying to get my attention but I ignored them looking straight ahead, when Yaya saw me she smiled and waved me over "Chris, finally a familiar face." she exclaimed as I stopped in front of her "Ying just ditched me because she needed to go somewhere, I was about to leave but now you're here I don't have too." she finished and when realization hit her she blushed deep red "It's... because ...you know .. you ... I mean we're ... friends right?" She cutely stuttered while thrashing her hands in front of her and I couldn't help but laugh at her a little "Sure." I said smiling at her, up close she looks beautiful wearing a pink mixed with yellow gown with ruffles and her brown hair was styled at one side. ok crossed what I said earlier she was not just beautiful but stunning like a porcelain doll with no flaws, I was lost in day dreaming that I haven't notice her waving her hand in my face trying to make me snap out of it "hey earth to Chris?" She said with worry "Oh sorry about that." I said straitening up my posture, she still look confused but she let it slide "Oh... by the way why are you dressed so__" She said gesturing to my attire "Are you the son of a noble or something?" "Well you see." I started and sighed, I'll just come clean I guess "Let me introduce myself again." I said grabbing her hand kissing it "It's nice to meet you Lady Yaya, my name is Earthquake... prince Earthquake." Her cheeks redden even more while I let go of her hand "You're pranking me right? Hahaha the jokes on you I'm not buying it." she said and everyone was looking at the scene to unfold "I am the prince." I stated "I'm not pranking you. I just go by Chris so that you won't be uncomfortable at me." I finished "Prove it." She challenged, I opened my palm and it was infused by rocks. Her jaw dropped and I smiled at her "Do you believe me now?" I asked "But how? why? when?" she stuttered again, I grabbed her hand "I'll explain more later but first." I said grabbing her hand "Can I have this dance?" She nodded slowly not trusting her voice right now, I lead the two of us into the dance floor, I put my other hand on her waist while she put her free one on my shoulder. Music started playing again in the background, while other couples joined us in the dance floor. I could see my other siblings giving me a thumbs up and cheeky smiles, I rolled my eyes at them and turned my attention to Yaya who was still blushing. I smiled "Yaya I need to tell you something." I started but stopped when shadows suddenly filled the room, A lone figure appeared in front of the throne, when the shadows subsided it revealed a guy with dark purple hair and crimson red eyes, a sly smirk splattered in his face.
