((A Note-This takes place early in their relationship for Rose and Arion's timeline; at this point, Rose is basically Arion's only close friend, Andre being more distant still.))

Rose yawned in bordom but held her upright, Princess-Perfect posture as she waited for the garden party to get going. She didn't really want to be there, but not many people knew she was a Rebel yet and she needed to keep up appearances. Plus, it was free food and a way to get her Best Friend Forever After, Arion, out of his room/the Swim Team's pool and out into the Fairytale World. (It was a personal mission of hers.) Speaking of the merman, Arion was standing uneasily, shifting from side to side in utter boredom and making rather pithy comments under his breath. Rose had literally dragged him along with her to the party (not unlike how she'd gotten him to Thronecoming if he was being honest), claiming that he "needed to get out more" or something. Oh well. Mrs. Queen had offered extra credit to every fairyteen in Princessology who went, so that was a plus; he needed that credit, seeing as he hardly put any effort into the assignments. 'Why am I even IN this class again?' he thought to himself, not for the first time. 'I'm not a Princess, and I learned all my etiquette and manners at home anyway. This class teaches me NOTHING.' Still, he couldn't change classes, unfortunately; Princessology was a required class for his Destiny's curriculum. Surprisingly, so was Hero Training 101, which he couldn't figure out either.

Needless to say, he hated both classes.

While Arion was musing about how much he hated Princessology, Rose was busy going over her etiquette training and what she'd say during polite conversation. 'Ok, soup spoon is on the left... or maybe it was on the right? Don't talk politics, or religion, or anything controversial. DON'T talk about the Rebel/Royal debate, lest you reveal your stance. Hope that Arion doesn't offend too many people today; less than five would be good. Oh, this is going to be a Royal Fairy-Fail, I just know it!' Rose worked herself up quite a bit, almost so much that it would show physically. Thankfully she was a good actress and schooled her features into a neutral, pleasant expression, but it was a near thing.
