The Diaspro Diaries

[Princess Diaspro]

OOC: This thread will be exactly what the title says it is - Diaspro's diary. Basically, it will be written in first-person and it will be composed of Diaspro's thoughts on her life, on the things she witnesses (e.g. the Sky/Bloom/Christine love triangle), and so forth. Easy enough, right?

Dear Diary,

Sky's birthday is in a fortnight and because my parents wish to continue pursuing friendly relations with his parents after that horrid disaster of our broken engagement last year, they are demanding that I purchase a suitable gift - actually, more than suitable - for him. That in itself isn't quite so terrible because, after all, it is diplomatic (and I admit, it does make me look rather good and virtuous) . . . but the part I hate about this is that my parents wish me to deliver the gift in person. They actually expect me to face him and to smile as though he never wronged me. True, we spent a week of last summer together vacationing with our families, but that was different. I was with my parents and I hardly had to speak to him. And more than that, I wasn't expected to treat Sky cordially because only five months had passed since I had discovered that he had been seeing Bloom behind my back. But now a year has passed since the last Day of the Royals and now I am expected to be "over it." But I'm not. I'm still hurt and I still don't understand how Sky could ever so something so despicable to me. I know I am not the kindest person or the most lovable, but I am a person and I do hurt.

I don't want to go. I don't want to have to face him. I don't want him to see how much of an impact he has had on me. But there's no way out; I can't protest against my parents. It simply wouldn't be right. Their word is law and so . . . and so I must go search for a more than suitable gift for Sky. But more than that, I must prepare to see him. And I have to find a way to make him believe that I am no worse for the wear.

Dear Diary,

One more week until Sky's birthday. Strangely enough, I think I will be quite all right. I know that only a week ago the prospect of having to face him made me physically ill, but now, after much thinking, I cannot think of a reason why I should worry myself with him; after all, I've done him no wrong. If anyone should worry or feel fear, it is him. I may be a fairy, but I am a vindictive one and I am one not to fear, but to be feared.

Yes, I intend to ruffle his feathers and poke and prod at him until he lashes out and asks why I treat him so; and I will of course remind him that it is my right as a scorned fiancee to act in such a manner. Yes, I think it shall give me immense pleasure to see him squirm and stumble over himself. I suppose some would argue that my behaving in this way could only mean that I still harbor feelings of love for Sky, but truth be told, I don't - at least, not in the sense that I wish to wed him. However, I admit, that I do still have a soft spot for him in my heart, even after all he has done to me; what can I say? He was my childhood friend; one cannot turn one's back on such a person. Sadly, even after Sky two-timed me, I still care about his well-being. I'm not stupid; I never deluded myself into believing that Sky loved me like that - but I always thought he would have the decency to at least end our engagement before pursuing someone else. It wasn't very princely of him to do otherwise - and from what I read in the gossip papers, he hasn't learned his lesson. In fact I think Bloom may soon understand what I felt last year when she discovers that there may be someone new in Sky's life. Won't that be a lovely twist? Yes; yes, I do believe it will be.

Dear Diary,

Tonight was quite eventful to say the least; you see, at the moment I am in Magix where I have crashed (I know, that is quite impolite and un-princess like) a party. But not just any party. Sky's party. Sky's party that was thrown for him by a certain female who is not Bloom. No, this party was thrown by a Lady Christine Strongheart who seems to be quite taken with my dear prince. As I mentioned in my last entry, Sky has been rumored to be romantically linked to another female - that female being Christine, I have learned. I like her, though. She's got a little bit of spunk, but she's still polite and ladylike - my kind of girl. In other words, she's the opposite of Bloom, I do believe. Where Bloom is rash and vulgar, Christine is the perfect hostess. She would be good for Sky; and, if I haven't missed the mark, Sky would very much like to be with her - the only thing that stands in his way is a certain redhead.

But speaking of Sky, I know that in my past entries I have appeared bitter, but I must admit, after seeing him tonight, my emotions regarding him are entirely platonic. I feared that upon seeing him some old emotions might surface - that I would turn into some bumbling, clingy idiot - but I didn't. In fact, I fancy that I was the picture of confidence tonight. But not fake confidence. True confidence. I think that I've finally truly moved on. Sky has no power over me; he never really did when I think about it. I've always been my own person and he's always been his own person, which is probably why we clashed so often. Neither of us were willing to make compromises - we were both much too headstrong with our viewpoints.

In any event, I think Sky and I are on our way to rebuilding the friendship we once shared as children. I won't lie and say that it will be all peachy from here on out (rather, I expect to have many clashes with him), but I think now we will be able to move past our immense differences. What is that saying? Agree to disagree? Lovely.
