((OOC: Time for an unconvential twist to all the marriage threads recently!))

Veronica Vaniwyn II, 24, the Matriarch of the Vaniwyn family and Queen of Neo Brandenburg has recently announced her attentions to seek a spouse among the international community. Veronica has only recently come clean about her sexuality, but due to the nature of our culture, she was of course still loved and accepted.

She is a lovely women with curly brown hair, emerald green eyes, and though she is only 5'5' her personality more then makes up for her petite stature! Any suitors successful in marrying her will be granted a dowry of 15 Billion Dollars, and inherit several lovely estates and manors through out Neo Brandenburg.

Sarah Watson was a girl, the daughter of a well established family. However, she was known for her ''feelings'' towards girls. She read the letter of the Queen of Neo Brandenburg and wrote back:

''To the Queen of Neo Brandenburg,
I have heard you are looking for a wife. I would be honored if I could meet you as I am interested. I am 24 years old, has brunette hair, blue eyes and I stand at 5'11. I have many hobbies and interests and it would be a pleasure if I could meet you. I hope you will consider me and I hope I can meet you.

Sincerely,
Sarah Watson''

Message from the Royal Office of Princess Siv of the Secular Kingdom of Maraque

Dear Veronica Vaniwyn II,

My name is Siv. I am the Princess of the Secular Kingdom of Maraque. I'm 25 years old, have black hair and light brown eyes. I enjoy archery, horseback riding, reading, among other things.

Hope to hear from you soon,
Princess Siv of the Secular Kingdom of Maraque

I would be honored to meet with the two of you. When you have the time, please take a flight to Berlin International Airport. My people will meet you there and escort you to the Royal Palace, where in we shall meet.

-Veronica Vaniwyn II

Once Princess Siv got the acceptance letter to meet the Queen, she immediately started packing for the trip.

"Siv I'm so proud of you and glad you're doing this." Siv's father, King Stephen said.

"Thank you father. I can't wait to meet her."

Siv left the Royal Palace and into a waiting Maybach 62 Limousine. The Limousine drove her to Maraque International Airport, where she entered a private plane to take her to Neo Brandenburg.

The plane touched down at Berlin International Airport where Siv was to be taken to the Royal Palace.

Sarah got the acceptance letter and was glad and overjoyed. She packed her things and got on a plane to Berlin's Airport. When she got there and her plane landed. she thought she would be tooken to the Royal Palace. ''I wonder what the Queen is like. I am sure she is all that the letter of notice said she is.'' Sarah thought.

OOC-Just wondering but can Siv and Sarah talk to each other? Also, not to be rude or anything, Maraque but I did not know you would use Siv in this.

OOC: When I was deciding on the Royal Family of Maraque I decided to have one of the siblings gay, so I chose Siv.

OOC-I understand. I hope our suitors can interact if able to. Also, perhaps Siv or Jovan could I guess tell Anna of Siv's sexuality. Not that I am against it, I am neutral on it. So is Anna and her nation.

OOC: Okay. I can work that into the RP with Jovan and Anna somehow.

OOC-Sure, we can do that.

Upon reaching the air port, both Princess Siv and Sarah were escorted two separate, comfortable limos by several knightly looking gentlemen. The limos had many luxuries, such as Televisions, food and drink. The limos traveled at a mild pace down the streets of Berlin toward the Royal Palace.

''What a nice city.'' Sarah said as she took pictures of Berlin. She enjoyed the limo and was glad she would be meeting the Queen and perhaps her future wife.

From the Desk of Queen Theodorantia of Dumii (Wife of King Jeopard III)

My Dear Veronica Vaniwyn II,

You may not have heard of me, but I am the Queen of Dumii. I do not, I am sorry, write to express a possibility of marriage, merely to congratulate you on your decision to marry. (Believe me, it is far more interesting than some will tell you).
I was also a great friend of your mother's cousin's aunt's daughter. If she is still alive please give her my regards. I will also offer a wedding gift, to be presented at the marriage ceremonies by my two eldest sons, should you be lucky enough to find your soulmate.

Yours Cheerfully,
Queen Theodorantia of Dumii

Jonensberg, Kulikovo

Sasha Andropov worked for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. She assisted diplomats but at the time didn't have an assignment. She was shifting through paperwork when she discovered a letter from Queen Veronica Vaniwyn II of New Brandenburg, she was seeking a wife. Sasha had have several relationships that failed and she almost lost all hopes. Though Kulikovo is a liberal nation some people just wouldn't understand, her parents being some of them. She wasn't ashamed of her sexual orientation. She decided to reply.

You sound lovely, Sasha. I'd be pleased to meet with you.

-Veronica Vaniwyn II

Is my suitor at the Palace now? Just making sure.

OCC: Is my character leaving?

Sasha read the response and smiled. It made her happy to hear a response and she walked into the office of Deputy Minister Dennenberg, an older politician. She straightened her skirt and composed herself before entering.
"Sir, may I speak with you?" she asked.
"Of course, do come in" he replied while looking over some files. "What is it you want?"
"Sir, I was wondering if I could have some personal time off." she asked
"For what reason?"
"It's personal sir"
"Seeing how you've worked so hard and completed said tasks and there's nothing at the moment, I can't see why some time off would hurt." he replied, taking off his glasses.
"Thank you sir" she said and smiled.

She made her way home and began to pack. She owned a small mut named simply Bear, a loveable companion whom she raised from a puppy. Ssha arranged for a neighbor to look after him and was done packing.
'I wonder what she'll be like?' she thought.

OCC: Is my character leaving?

((OOC: Yes, to the capital of Neo Brandenburg, Berlin.))

Is my suitor at the Palace now? Just making sure.

((OOC: Just waiting for Maraque to post, then I'll have you both arrive.))

Sasha went to the airport and chartered a flight to Neo Brendenburg. It wasn't a very long flight and she chatted with the people next to her who were very nice. The jet reached Berlin and she gazed out the window to see a vast and beautiful city. Sasha was excited to meet Veronica and hoped Veronica would like her. The jet touched down and she departed. Buying some flowers at a shoppe.

As Sasha was leaving the flower shoppe, a knightly looking gentlemen approached her.

"Ma'am, is your name Sasha Andropov?"

He asked.

Sasha turned around to see who was speaking to her "Yes, I'm Sasha Andropov. How may I help you?" she asked the gentleman.

"I am a Knight of the Queen, My'lady. I've been asked to escort you to the palace."

He replied, gesturing to a limo waiting near the corner of the street.

"Oh my" she replied. Sasha didn't think knights still existed. It conjured up a dilema which faced her, a monarchy. It went against everything she ever believed in. She would be a traitor to socialism. But, she wasn't going to concern herself with that. She wanted to focus on Veronica.
"Thank you" she said and stepped into the limo. She didn't expect a limo or a knight to greet her.

The Limo ride was short, as the palace was only a few blocks away. It drove slowly through the gate and stopped in the parking lot, facing the stairways up to the palace doors. On the top step stood Veronica, her hair blowing slightly in a light breeze.

Sasha could see out the window and saw Veronica, she was beautiful. Sasha became nervous 'How do you act around a queen?' she thought. She never dealt with royalty before and she clenched her flowers tight. Sasha composed herself and stepped out of the limo. Walking a short distance she reached the bottom of the staircase and looked up to Veronica, she smiled and made her way up slowly.
"Queen Veronica, it's a pleasure to meet you. I brought you these flowers" she said and extended them out to her, her heart racing.

Veronica smiled and took them into her hands. She smelled them for a moment, and looked back at Sasha.

"Why thank you. These are my favorites, how did you know?"

"They're mine too" Sasha replied, smiling

"Well, thank you once more. They are lovely." She replied. "Now, come inside the Palace with me. It looks like it's going to rain soon." She continued, turing toward the Palace doors.

Sasha looked up to the sky and it was getting cloudy. She didn't mind the rain, she enjoyed being outside but went in none-the-less.
"Berlin is such a beautiful city, more beautiful than Jonensberg" she said.

Is this still open?

((OOC: Fine, one more person and then that is it. I'm not beign mean, but the more people that play, the more characters that have a chance of getting their hearts broken.))

"I've never seen Jonensberg, so I could not be a proper judge of that. But yes, Berlin is beautiful...when ever you get the chance to leave the palace and see it." She replied.

OOC-Are you sure you can't RP my character now?

"Don't you get to see it much? Jonensberg is beautiful as well, you should see it someday, especially the Old District. It has a rich history and is a great place. It's where I live" Sasha replied.

Sophia was a girl from Lesbos. She read the Queen's letter and then got on a plane to Berlin. When she landed, she expected officals to greet her.....

((OOC: Go ahead and post her arriving at the palace I suppose.))

"For most of my life, I've never known anything out side the palace walls. My Mothers doing." Veronica replied to her question. "But now as both the Queen and the Matriarch...I suppose I can do what I want."

Sasha turned to her "Why did your mother do that. You must go and explore, there's so much to see" Sasha replied. It was hard for her to imagine being trapped and confined for any long period of time. She loved the wide openess of the country and exploring.

Sophia came to the Palace, at last she would meet the Queen. ''I wonder how the Queen is. There are a lot of suitors here, I am sure.'' Sophia thought. She went inside the Palace, expecting to be greeted.

Sasha turned to her "Why did your mother do that. You must go and explore, there's so much to see" Sasha replied. It was hard for her to imagine being trapped and confined for any long period of time. She loved the wide openess of the country and exploring.

"I don't know...don't really want to, either. She was a crazy old bat." Veronica replied.

Sophia came to the Palace, at last she would meet the Queen. ''I wonder how the Queen is. There are a lot of suitors here, I am sure.'' Sophia thought. She went inside the Palace, expecting to be greeted.

Actually, Sophia didn't make it past the gate. She was un-invited and guards instantly had her on the ground and cuffed.

"Well, that is a crazy thing to do" sasha replied "My parents always let me run around, wether it was bad parenting or wanting me to explore, I don't know" Sasha smirked.

Can I retract my post? I forgot about the guards.

"Well, that is a crazy thing to do" sasha replied "My parents always let me run around, wether it was bad parenting or wanting me to explore, I don't know" Sasha smirked.

"That does sound a lot better then staying couped up in a palace all day, everyday..." Veronica began. "But anyway, lets not dwell on such things. It's nearly dinner time. Are you hungry?

Can I retract my post? I forgot about the guards.

((OOC: Just this once.))

Thanks. Here is a new post.

Sophia noticed the guards and she said ''Hello. I am Sophia of Lesbos, I am here to see the Queen. I am a suitor for Her Esteemed Queen.''

"Yes, I'm very hungry" Sasha replied "I haven't eaten much lately. Been too busy with work to sleep. But, all the works done with. Until more piles up on my desk."

"Yes, I'm very hungry" Sasha replied "I haven't eaten much lately. Been too busy with work to sleep. But, all the works done with. Until more piles up on my desk."

"Well, that's no good. I'll make sure you get plenty of rest during your stay here, though." Veronica replied, leading her to the dining room, where on a large table sat various cuts of meat, fruits, vegetables, fish and every conceivable potato dish and various sauces, gravies and dips. There were also various bottles of wine and other drinks waiting for them.

Thanks. Here is a new post.

Sophia noticed the guards and she said ''Hello. I am Sophia of Lesbos, I am here to see the Queen. I am a suitor for Her Esteemed Queen.''

"Okay, we'll let you past. She is already meeting with another suitor." They informed her as they opened the gate.

Sasha smiled and replied "Thank you, Veronica, it all looks delicious" she said and took a seat.

Sophia nodded and went in the palace. ''What a neat palace.'' she said, walking around and admiring the palace. ''I hope I meet the Queen sometime. I wonder what her suitor is like?'' Sophia stated.

"You are quite welcome Sasha." Veronica replied as she took a seat across from her, taking a small garden salad in front of her for starts.

Sasha looked at the food and thought of what to eat. She wasn't much into vegetables and took some other stuff instaed and began eating. She liked lettuce, but it wasn't very filling.
"What are some of your interests?" Sasha asked "Your letter's weren't very descriptive". Sasha saw her emerald eyes, she never saw anyone with emerald eyes before, she thought they were very pretty.

"Oh, I'm sorry about that. Well, I like a lot of things. Literature, fantasy mostly, stuff like Harry Potter and Lord of the Rings. For movies, I like action adventure and sci-fi stuff like Star Wars. I'm also a big horse fan, love them. I have about ten of them down in the stables. I'm also considering going hiking or camping soon...I think that would be nice." Veroinca replied.

Sasha sat up "You'll love hiking and camping. I do that stuff alot. It's a great time. Southern Kulikovo has beautiful forests and mountains." she said

"Oh I really want to...it's just that I've never done it before. I could ask my guards to go with me, but that wouldn't be any fun at all. At the same time, I doubt I'd last a day out there alone." She replied.

"We could go hiking" Sasha replied "I know all the ropes. There's nothing to it really, you just can't be afraid to get you hands dirty"

"Really? You'll go with me? That sounds wonderful!" Veronica exclaimed, sitting up.

"Yes, I'd love to. It's been a while since I've had the time to do so" Sasha replied with a smile.

"Excellent. We can set out as early as noon tomorrow, if you want." She replied, sitting back down but pushing the salad away. Veronica's excitement had caused her to lose her appetite.

Sasha smirked "It's fine with me, we'llhave lots of fun" she replied. Sasha hadn't lost her appetite and ate a little more. She was glad to see that veronica was interested in hiking and such. That gave something else they have in common.

Veronica simply sat and watched Sasha eat, wondering what else she could do to entertain her guest before it was time for bed.

"How's it been, being queen and all?" Sasha asked, trying to start a conversation.

"Not bad, I suppose. No wars or economic depressions yet, thankfully. It's been boring lately, actually." She replied, sounding sincere and not arrogant or snottish.

"My job with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is pretty uneventful as well. During the revolution I was a nurse. That was a dark time for our nation when it struggled to overthrow a brutal facist regime." Sasha replied.

"Are there any books or articles about the revolution? It sounds interesting, and I'd like to know more about it." She asked, relaxing further into her chair.

"There's lots about the revolution. It was a bloody one, I doubt you'd want to hear all that" Sasha replied.

Veronica decided to steer the conversation away from bloody wars. "Hey, is there anything else you'd like to do?" She asked her.

Sasha thought, "Would you like to take a walk? Perhaps we could go into the city, if you want? Or is it too late?" Sasha asked.

"Not at all. A walk sounds nice. Just let me grab an umbrella." She replied, disappearing into the halls for a moment and coming back a few moments later with a black umbrella. "Well, lets go." She said with a smile, waiting for Sasha to walk with her out the gates of the palace.

"Great" Sasha smiled and stood up and walked with Veronica "Do you want to go into the city, or just walk around here?" she asked.

"Your choice, really. I'm up for either." She replied. "Though the Royal Gardens in the back are really pretty." She added.

"I'm sue you've seen the gardens a million times" Sasha said "Let's go into the city" and the two began walking.

Veronica led them out of the palace grounds and down the streets of Berlin. The rain had died down for the most part, and only a light drizzle remained. Sunlight was parting the clouds again, and in the distance across town a massive rainbow could be seen shining.

"Look at that, it's beautiful" sasha said, gazing at the rainbow, she never saw one like that before.

Princess Siv entered the limousine anxious to reach the Palace to meet the Queen. She enjoyed the many luxuries in the limousine and the sights.

The limousine approached the Palace. Siv stepped out of the limousine...

"Look at that, it's beautiful" sasha said, gazing at the rainbow, she never saw one like that before.

"Yeah, it is." Veronica replied. She to had never seen a rainbow quite like this one.

Princess Siv entered the limousine anxious to reach the Palace to meet the Queen. She enjoyed the many luxuries in the limousine and the sights.

The limousine approached the Palace. Siv stepped out of the limousine...

"Greetings, Princess Siv. Queen Veronica just went on a walk with one of the other suitors. If you hurry, you can probably catch up with them."

A female knight told her as she stepped out.

"The rain's seem to let up" Sasha said "Good, it'll be less hassel. That's the one thing I don't like about rain, it makes it hard to do anything"

"Ah, I agree. But it does leave such a nice smell." Veronica commented as the turned a corner down the street to a very new part of Berlin, full of neon signs and clear glass buildings.

Princess Siv went into the direction the knight at the Palace told her. She tried her best to catch up without looking too goofy.

She caught up. "Hello your majesty. I'm Princess Siv of the Secular Kingdom of Maraque." Siv bowed in respect and greeted the other suitor as well.

Sasha smelled the air "Yep, you're right. The rain does do that" she said "Hey, let's go down this street and see what there's to do"

"Greetings Siv." Veronica replied with a bright smile as she eyed the Princess. "We were just about to check some of the things downtown out, would you care to join us?" She asked.

"Hello, Siv. My name's Sasha Andropov" she said. Sasha was a bit frustrated with this woman. Sasha saw her bow to Veronica. Sasha didn't, she was too proud to do it. Sasha was looking forward to a night on the town with Veronica, just the two of them.

OCC: Bump

OCC: Bump

"So is there anything you want to do in particular girls? There is a lot to see and do downtown." Veronica asked as they walked down the streets.

Sasha thought for a moment "I don't know, let's just walk down this street and see what there is to do" she replied. "Anyone up for a drink?"

And so they did. The area was filled with all types of shops, from shoes to dresses, as well as high-classed restraunts and casinos. There were also theatres for both plays and movies.

"This area has everything!" sasha exclaimed "I can't make up my mind, there's too mch to do" Sasha never saw anything like it before. Jonensberg had much to do, but not as much as Berlin, by far. It was all amazing and new to her, she was enjoying herself with Veronica.

"Well, perhaps I can take you shopping somewhere. I'll pay for everything." Veronica suggested kindly, figuring Sasha deserved a shopping-spree from what she had heard of her life back at home.

"Thank you Veronica, that's very sweet. Shopping sounds nice, know any good stores?" Sasha asked. It was very nice of Veronica to want to pay. sasha wasn't very materialistic but did like to shop from time to time.

'Yeah, follow me." Veronica led her down the street until they were in front of a large mall, one that seemingly took up many city blocks. Veronica led her inside to the atrium of the store, where hundreds of people were criss-crossing back and fourth. "This place has everything." She stated.

When sasha entered the mall she stopped in her tracks. The size of the place was unbelievebale and there were so many people.
"I didn't think they could build malls this big!" she exclaimed "It's like a jungle of stores and people. Well, let's see what's out there" and the two of them went off to the stores, all of them being large and with much inside of them.

OOC: How will you chose the heir to your throne?

The mall was full of stores, some high-class, some not. Many were devoted to a single item, like dresses, shoes, or jeweliry. It was up to Sasha to decide where she wanted to go.

"Seeing how you wanted to go hiking tomorrow, do you have any boots or stuff along those lines?" Sasha asked "You wouldn't need much, just some outdoors stuff"

"No, I don't now that I think about it. I'd better get some." Veronica replied, leading them to a sporting goods store.

Veronica and Sasha walked into the sporting goods store and back to where they had the boots and such. Sasha knew what she was doing and looked around at them.
"These boots here are good, I have a pair, these aren't big and clanky boots, they look similar to shoes. They never fail me even though I've had them for a long time. And, these boots don't look that bad" Sasha said, picking up a boot from the display and showing it to Veronica.

((OOC: I'll be gone for a bit after this post.))

"Alright, what ever you suggest." She replied, taking the boot into her hand and looking at it. "Anything else?" She asked.

OCC: Me too

"Well, you'll need a backpack, canteen, and stuff along those lines, not much" sasha replied and led her to the other parts of the store.

Veronica followed her around the store, picking up what she thought they would need during their trip.

"See, that wasn't so bad" Sasha said after they got a few more things "That's basically all you need to go hiking. It'll be loads of fun!" They continued around the mall and looking at the stores.

"Yeah, I'm really excited about it now. I doubt I'll get much sleep tonight." Veronica replied, going over the things they had purchased one more time.

"Well, what do you want to do now?" Sasha asked veronica. She was enjoying herself with Veronica and hoped she felt the same. She liked her and began to think of the possibilities.

"Hmm, I don't really know. Are you done shopping? I promised to take you on a spree, remember?" She replied.

"Yes, I remember. But to tell you the truth, I'm not very materialistic. I guess having lived the life I did, I never neede much. Whetever I got was good enough" Sasha replied "But it was very sweet of you. I hope you're enjoying yourself as well.

"I am, thanks. I can't really think of anything else I'd like to buy here, either. Perhaps we should move on, see some other sights?" Veronica suggested.

Sasha smiled "That sounds great. There seems to be lots to do. What do you think of the city so far? I think it's grand" Sasha replied

OCC: I'm done for tonight, nice talking

OCC: Bump

OOC: I'm gonna have to step out of this RP. Not enough time.

OCC: Bump

Sasha smiled "That sounds great. There seems to be lots to do. What do you think of the city so far? I think it's grand" Sasha replied

OCC: I'm done for tonight, nice talking

"I agree, it is grand. Come on, lets go and see more of it." Veronica said as she led Sasha out of the mall.

Veronica led Sasha outside the mall, back into the concrete jungle. The lights were bright, it was getting dark but the lights from the city turned it into day. "I can't possibly know what else to do. I'm not familiar with the city" Sasha replied.

"I'll show you, then." For the next few hours, Veronica took her around the city, pointing out various landmarks and taking her through various museums showing her some famous works of art. After Veronica had exhausted her knowledge of the city, it was near midnight.

Sasha never saw so many sights. It was all breathtaking. The two of them chatted and laughed. "Wow! It's midnight already? Time flies when you're having fun" Sasha commented. She really enjoyed being with Veronica, the past hours were wonderful "I've had a great time" she added.

"Don't talk about it like it's over." Veronica replied. "We still hame tommorow ahead of us. But right now, I'm a bit tired. Shall we return to the palace and get some rest?"

''I meant to say that todays fun has ended. Yes, we should probably head back and get some rest. Tomorrow will be another adventerous day" sasha said, smiling in anticipation.

Veronica brought them back to the palace. "Good night, Sasha." Veronica called as she walked to her room while her handmaidens escorted Sasha to her own room.

"Good night, Veronica. I had a reslly great time tonight" sasha replied and smiled. She was escorted to her room where her stuff was already at. She splashed some water on her face and looked into the mirror, thinking about Veronica and the time they had that night, and knew evern better times were ahead. She thought about the possibilities between the two of them and hoped that Veronica liked her too.

At around eight A.M. the next morning, Veronica came and knocked gingerly on Sasha's door. "Sasha, I'm ready. You up?" She asked.

((OOC: Last post for a bit.))

Sasha had slept in a bit too late, she was tired from yesterday's activities. "Oh, just hold on a sec" she said and struggled to put on her clothes, she dressed approprietley and after a few minutes emerged "Sorry, I'm ready now"

OCC: Bump

Veronica, to, was dressed in hiking attire. "It's okay. I've chosen the mountains outside Berlin for our first hiking trip, is that alright with you?" She asked.

"That sounds just fine, on my way here I saw those mountains and they were beautiful" Sasha replied as they began walking away from her room.

"Okay, lets go!" Veronica replied. She ordered both her and Sasha transported outside the city and to the mountains. Within an hour and a half, they were standing at the foot of one of the smaller mountains, the wilderness around them and the sound of a distant stream in their ears.

"See, Veronica. Isn't it beautiful? Just be careful" sasha replied as they began walking up an easy part of the mountain. Sasha was hopeful that Veroniva would enjoy herself.

"Yes, it is very pretty." Veronica said, following Sasha and taking in the new sights. It all seemed so new and alien to her.

"You just have to watch your step" sasha commented as they made their way up. It became a bit steeper now, but the forest and surrounding are provided much for the eyes to behold. "You should see the mountains of Southern Kulikovo, I also grew up there." she said.

"Maybe you can take me there one day? I'd like that." Veronica commented as they continued to make their way up.

"I would love to, Veronica" Sasha replied with a smile.

"Cool, but lets finish then one up before we start thinking about future trips." She replied. Several of Brandenburg's famous flowers were in full boom this time of year, and the path the two were following allowed them to see thousands of them.

Sasha saw all the flowers, she was awstruck by their beauty and their numbers "These flowers are so beautiful!" she exclaimed and picked one up and smelled it.

"They are pretty. It's a shame they are limited to only this area now in days. They use to be all over the fields." Veronica replied.

((OOC: Bump.))

"Yep, they may not be everywhere but where they are makes the place beautiful" sasha replied as they kept walking.

A little while more, they came across a medium sized stream, with shallow clear water and a path of stones leading across the water. Veronica didn't wait for Sasha to tell her how to do it this time, and she began skipping across the stones to the other side with ease.

Sasha smirked and crossed the stream as well "I guess you used to hang out by a stream as a child as well" she added.

Veronica was about to reply when she tripped and fell face-first into the water for a moment. She flailed around for a few moments before standing up, shivering. "Great...look at me, I'm soaked." She stated, her teeth chattering.

"Are you alright?!" sasha said as she rushed to veronica, splashing through the water "You need to get dried off" she replied and led her out of the stream and she took off her jacket and gave it to her "This isn't much but you'll be fine"

"Yeah, I'm fine." She started. "Just wet, cold, and embarassed. But anyway, thanks." She replied kindly.

"That's alright. This stuff happens, even to the most experience people" sasha smiled. The sun came out "There, the sun's out"

Veronica got up and began to walk around, trying to dry off as best as she possibly could.

"You're not injured at all, are you?" sasha asked in a concerned tone.

"No, I'm not." Veronica replied with a smile. She gave Sasha a quick peck on the lips. "Thank you for your concern."

Sasha felt her lips touch hers, though it was quick a sensation went through her body and mind "I'm just glad your alright" she replied.

Veronica continued to smile. "Okay, let's be off. There is still a lot to see."

"Yes, you're right" Sasha replied and she dusted herself off and they continued walking.

They continued on for about an hour. It was getting quite hot now, and Veronica kept taking swigs of water from her cantina. Eventually, the path they were on winded it's way around a hill facing a large, clear lake with sparkling water. It looked very cool and welcoming to the two women as they walked on in the blistering heat...

Sasha walked over to the water and took off her shoes and socks, rolled up her pants and dipped her legs into the water "This feels refreshing" she said.

Veronica followed suit, taking her boots and socks off and dipping her feet in the water. She sighed in relief. "The water is very nice...want to go for a swim?" She asked.

"I wasn't at first, but just cooling off my feet aren't doing any good, so a swim sounds great" sasha smiled as she wiped the sweat from her forehead.

"Good." Veronica smiled and took off everything except her underwear, and began walking out toward the center of the lake, enjoying the cool water as she did.

Sasha took off her clothes as well and her smooth body slipped into the water as she waded out towards Veronica, the water was kind of cold but she was used to it and it didn't bother her. "The water does feel good" she said.

"Yeah..." Veronica replied. She began to splash her self with the cool water to cool her self down. She let out a content sigh as the roasting feeling she had earlier left her.

Sasha looked at veronica 'she looks good' she thought. Sasha waded towards her and splashed water on her.

"Hey!" Veronica replied in shock. She giggled, and splashed Sasha back with wave after wave of cool, sparkling water.

Sasha continued splashing her as her entire body became drnched, her hair plastered to her body. "Don't start that with me" she laughed "I'm the undisputed water splasher, my family can testify to that"

Veronica didn't have time to reply as Sasha continued to splash her. She continued to giggle and splash her back, before she was eventually driven back and tripped over a stone in the lake, splashing into the water. She re-emerged a few seconds later, still laughing.

"Are you alright? It seems you are" sasha said with a smile as she came towards Veronica who was still laughing.

"Yeah, I am." She said. She stopped laughing, but still smiled. She stepped closer to Sasha and wrapped an arm around her waist.

Sasha felt her arm rap around her waist and drew her closer, she didn't know what to say. her heart began to pound "I-I'm glad to hear it" she uttered

Veronica drew Sasha closer to her. "Sasha, I've only known you for a short time, but I feel closer to you then I ever thought I would. I think I love you, really. I'd be honored if you would marry me and become Queen of Brandenburg with me. What do you say?"

Sasha's heart skipped a beat as the words ringed through her ears. She smiled, embraced her and drew closer. She kissed Veronica and replied "I love you Veronica, I want to spend the rest of my life with you" and she smiled.

Veronica beamed. "Thank you, Sasha. You've made me happier then you'll ever know by accepting my proposal." She replied, kissing her back.

"I feel like I can be myself around you. I feel loved, which is something I haven't felt in a long time" Sasha replied, she kissed Veronica "I love you"

"I love you too." Veronica replied. "Now, would you like to continue our hiking or stay around here and swim a little longer...I'd prefer the later...but it's up to you."

"The water is very relaxing and cool. So let's stay here a bit longer" sasha replied.

"Good." Veronica replied, lying back and enjoying the water.

Sasha floated in the water as well. The sun gleamed down upon her and she smiled. An overwhelming feeling of joy filled her. She couldn't beleieve that she will be marrying Veronica. She felt complete.

Veronica walked back over to Sasha and wrapped her arms around her waist. She leaned over and whispered "Do you want to wait until we're married to..um, well, you know?"

The supreme commander of "The Parkus Empire"'s armed forces (also emperor) marches trough the lake, followed by his HUGE army. "'Scuse me ladies" he says as he continues by.

Sasha felt nervous, it was all ahppening quite fast. But, she loved Veronica deeply and brought her hands up to Veronica's and smiled. She kissed her and replied "If you want to"
