There's No Joy

Varanda of Callisto

I was rewriting my signature I wanted it to look perfect to my best friend Princess Eagalia of Solaria so I had written with three as and no h no e either. My name comes from the Portugal language. Callisto is Italian and means fair or good and first borns like my sister are headed straight for success. So why was I named this I guess for security and safety. I was trying to prepare her birthday gift for today that I would be bringing in person to her myself. Or maybe it stood for determined and independent yeah let's stick with that. Oh and my sister's eldest name is Ambrosia, I and my brother Mercury have to represent the Royal Family on Solaria because, well, my family as in my parents are expecting another little child another daughter they are planning to name Azure. So I have to get ready for the carriage flight. We would fly through the Volatile Bridge Tunnel to be taken from carriage to the Solarium Sunships to the planet realm of Solaria. Lamemar is our first town in Callisto realm and the one right outside the palace. It may not be the most popular place but I like it because of all the creative tinkering that my people have done. Most people shame the praying mantis insect. I don't in fact I asked for my carriage to be drawn by four praying mantis animatronics. It's a mechanical style and skill and that's what we're good at. Fixing things without wires. Also my favorite family friend was in the town of Lamemar and I took any chance I got to see Timmy. I missed him on his birthday earlier this year given that it is in February on the 15th he's already 10 years old. And I didn't give him a chance to congratulate on that age mark. His father is so nice to me too. Timmy is like a brother I could really trust with all my nervous anxieties. He was better at being a brother than my own brother no offense to my own brother of course, but it was just that he was a little careless about my safety he gets that from my Dad Callisto Vallisto Jr. named after his father. Our family has a habit of redundancy. And the planet is stuck with the name too. And I'm pretty sure nature does like the name as it's kind of placid and dull.

"Sister it's time to get into your gown for Eagalia's party you better not make us late again."

"Oh, please it's not like we're going to miss the best part anyways, Mercury." I told him looking round without getting in my chair. "Royal Solarian custom that the parents sing her a Happy Birthday Duet then she dances away in the Royal waltz that gives like 10-25 minutes before the real party starts, bro. We will be fine don't be such a worrywart!"

"You should be the worrywart about embarrassing yourself and your bestie by showing up late." says Mercury. "It's a wonderful that you have started a Magical Wide Realm Fashionably Late Trend."

"Eagalia likes to be Fashionbly Late too." I sighed blowing my loose whisp of hair out of my face. "But you don't recognize it do you?"

"That's because you're putting a bad influence on her." said Mercury. "I'm amazed the King and Queen of Solaria let you be friends with the Princess of Solaria. If I were them, I wouldn't have allowed it not until you managed some royal respect for your neighborhood royalties."

"It's a good thing that you are not my parents."

"You two aren't bickering again about Varanda's punctuality, are you?" asked my older sister, Ambrosia. "Stop Pestering her brother Mercury Luna always says Better later than Early and Sorry from an Injury."

"Of Course you would say that you're the Fairy of Grease Glues only you would quote the Moonqueen of Solaria." Mercury retorted.

"Don't listen to him, he's an old bastard who doesn't know how to finally start seeing the big picture. Let's just get you ready for your friend's birthday party. Let's find you the perfect dress."

"It can't be pink, or red or yellow or blue those are common colors seen worn by the royal family of Solaria sister Ambrosia."
