==Story==
Stardust looked into the mirror and smiled brightly. Her maids smiled back at her through the mirror; they were happy that their princess was smiling. They rarely ever saw her smile, especially while inside the castle.  
"You look like a real princess, Miss Stardust." 
Stardust looked at her dress dreamily. 
"You really think so?" 
The maid smiled and nodded. 
"Yes. I've never seen you look so happy in a royal dress before." 
It was the big day. They were going to dance, and then she would be married to Cepheus. The princess turned around and smiled at her maid face-to-face.  
"Thank-you so much for helping me put the dress on... Do you... do you think Cepheus will like it? I've never tried to impress a boy before.." 
The maid laughed a little at this, and gave the princess a light pat on the shoulder. 
"He's a good man, Miss Stardust. I'm sure he'll think you look beautiful. After all, he fell for you when you were in your casuals, didn't he?" 
She was about the respond when there was a knock at the bedroom door. The maid went and answered it, and turned back to Stardust, a huge smile on her face. 
"Miss Stardust! Someone is here to see you!" 
A cat, who was normally dressed in tattered clothes, came walking in with a fancy black suit.  
"Corvus!" 
Stardust jumped down from the stool and hopped over to Corvus, giving him a huge hug. Corvus did the same, and chuckled at how silly she was. 
"Stardust, it's been so long! How have you been? You look so grown up! You're not that little eight-year-old that I knew seven years ago." 
Stardust took his hands excitedly. 
"I've been great! I'm getting married! I'm gonna be the queen of Starshine Kingdom!" 
Corvus jumped back at the sudden realization that his friend was going to rule the kingdom. 
"Well, then, who's the lucky groom?" 
Stardust giggled and went back over to the stool to let her maid continue attaching the bows on her dress. 
"Oh, he's wonderful, Corvus! His name is Cepheus, and--" 
At that moment, Cepheus walked in, wearing a fancy suit that was adorned with many gems. Stardust saw him through the mirror and jumped down from the stool again with the bow on her dress half-fastened. 
"Here he is!" 
She took Cepheus' hands in her own. 
"Corvus, I'd like you to meet Cepheus, my husband." 
Corvus walked over and shook hands with Cepheus, who did the same. 
"Nice to meet you." 
Cepheus nodded, and felt a good aura coming from Corvus. He was a good person, and he could feel it. Corvus could feel something coming from Cepheus, too. He smiled knowingly at him. 
"You're a pyro." 
Cepheus looked at him a little shocked. 
"... How did you know?" 
Corvus shrugged a little smuggly; that was his nature, after all. 
"I know a lot of people. A few of them are Pyro's. Their hands are warmer than most." 
Cepheus smiled at Corvus. He liked him. He seemed to be a good friend of Stardust, and acted like he wanted to protect her.  The maid called back the attention of Stardust. 
"I'm sorry to intrude, Miss Stardust, but I need to continue fixing your dress up." 
Stardust nodded understandingly, and stood back up on the stool. The other two left, and went to talk in the lobby.  
Elsewhere... 
"WHAT?!" 
The thug whimpered a little at Comet's anger.  
"It's true! You have to believe me!" 
Comet threw his hands in the air. 
"It's not that I don't belive you, it's the fact that those two brats have fallen in love and now they're getting married! Do you have any idea what this means?!" 
The thug shook his head, putting all snarky remarks to the back of his head for his own sake. 
"It means that I will never BE KING!" 
The thug jumped back at his outburst, and backed away. 
"I'm going the castle and killing Stardust! They think I'm dead and will never see me coming." 
The thug watched in horror as he saw Comet storm out of the room and teleport away.
