The night before the event I had Val's dress sent to her so she could have it ready for the celebration on the morrow. I had picked them up earlier that day and arranged for our things to be delivered that evening.
I was rather excited about seeing her dressed up, invisioning her stunning beauty accented by the sparklng crystals and white fabric. I barely even concidered what else to wear to the fete but I did manage at the last minute to find a nice pair of black leggings and a white shirt to wear with the jacket I had purchassed.
With everything ready I impatiently waited for the day to end and for the sun to rise the next day, falling asleep in a deliriously happy state only to rise with the dawn.

I was exstatic when my dress arived and I didn't want anything to be wrong with it the day before the fete, so I eagerly pulled it out of the box to try it on.
It was just as I had imagined it would be, proably even better, I thought, looking at my reflection in the mirror. I felt as if I was floating among the clouds; the full skirt was a beautiful swath of fabric pinned all over to look like a fluffy white cloud, the bodice form fitting, elegantly shaped over my breasts with short sleeves and a low cut back. The sparkling gems I had requested be put on it glittering like diamonds, and the halo of glass gems and sparkling mirrors was a perfect addion. It looked like I had stolen the stars from the heaven's to gather them in my hair.
I grinned at my reflection once more, turning this way and that so I could see all of the beautiful dress that flowed around me. Regretfully removing the gown I placed it on a hook in my room and decided to spend the rest of the day in the baths, attending to my hair and skin before I was to dress for the evening, wanting to be as soft as silk and as wonderfully fragrant as jasmine.

I dressed for the evening a little early in hopes of arriving at the fete before things got too busy, but things don't always go as planned and I found myself held up with several unexpected items of business that my father wanted me to handle before the day was over.
I sent a missive to Val letting her know I would be a bit late and hurried through the stack of paperwork on my desk.

When I got back to my rooms that afternoon there was a letter from Jadrien waiting for me attached to my door. Letting myself in to my rooms I cracked the seal on the parchment and glanced over the neatly written note.
He said he would be a bit late to pick me up that evening, but not to worry he would be there even if it meant we were late getting to the palace. So I took my time getting ready, letting a jasmine apprentice do my hair just right to place the glass and crystal halo just right on my hair.
I was a little anxious and kept glancing at the hour glass on my shelf, but time eventually sped up when we got busy and before I knew it Jadrien was there waiting for me to meet him in the hall to leave for the fete.

Arriving at Jasmine a few hours later than I had expected, I quickly sent word to Val that I was waiting for her to meet me in the hall.
The little girl I had sent after her skipped away down the hall and before I realized it I could hear her approaching.

My gown rustled and swished along behind me as I made my way to the entry hall to meet Jadrien.
I knew that my grinn was bright with joy and that my eyes were sparkling like gems, but I was eager to see him and get to the fete before another moment of time was waisted.
I rounded the corner of the hall and steped into the entryway, my gown sparkling as the lights hit the gems skattered over my gown. Looking across the distance between us I saw Jadrien in radiant spendor, his white jacket coat matching my dress. It sparkled too, in the light, but the small gems were only on his shoulders and along the edges of his colar.
I smiled brightly and walked to meet him feeling like a princess in a magical dream.

She was georgeous, her gown sparkling and glinting in the candle light of the room. "You look absolutely lovely Valdania." I said, bowing graciously in front of her, she was truly beautiful.
Straitening I pulled out a small silver box from my jacket pocket and held it out to her. It was the jewelry I had purchassed days ago, wondering at the color of her eyes. I had guessed right so I had chosen this moment to give them to her. They matched her eyes perfectly and would look nice with her gown.
"Open it," I told her, watching her face.

His bow was graceful and told me exactly how much he admired me, but his smile was what caught my attention and held it. He was wonderfully handsom and I was glad to be waited on by him.
He had already given me so much to thank him for, making this night one to remember, but then he handed me a silver box and I gasped, surprizing me once again. "What is it?" I asked, opening it as he told me.

"I wanted to give you a gift fit for the occaision, and I found these in a shop and thought of you. I hadn't even seen you for the first time and I knew that they would be perfect." I told her.
"The sappires, they match your eyes exactly." I added, reaching over to put the necklace on her, letting her hold the box with the matching pair of earings as I did.

"Oh Jadrien, you shouldn't have!" I exclaimed, touching the cool metal of the necklace as it settled around my throat, tears comming to my eyes.
Holding the earrings I waited for him to finish.

"There, perfectly lovely, just like you." I said, stepping back to admire her again.

I put on the earrings and shook my head to hear them jingle with the movement and smiled, my eyes liquid with tears.
"Thank you, this means so much to me." I said quietly, not trusting my voice above a whisper.

I smiled to see her eyes light up, glistening with unshed tears. "It's my pleasure, Valdania. I am happy that you like them." I said, holding out my arm to lead her to my waiting carriage.
"Shall we?"

"Yes, of course." I replied, still smiling and slipped my arm into his, following him out to the carriage.
