"Happy Birthday Trixie and Casey." Lisa said to the two girls as she held the cake. She could still remember the day that she found the two darlings. It was the day after the Sanct Kingdom was attacked, she had been walking through the forest trying to find berries and mushrooms for her dinner. She had heard a loud cry, like a baby's and tried to find the source of it. She had found the two on the tree crying and apparently hungry. They were covered in by a blanket adorned by jewelry. She had gathered it all in her basket, forgetting her dinner, and hurried to her cottage in the woods. She had taken care of the two from that day on.
"Thanks Miss. Lisa." They replied. Trixie and Casey were identical twins. Alaxandria, or known as Trixie, looked exactly like her sister Casey, or Chastity. The two had brown, blonde streaked her and aquamarine eyes. They had a perfect figure and were quite smart. Being homeschooled by their guardian, they had been taught perfect education. Growing up in the wild taught them to be fierce and to take care of themselves. They had learned to fight and were quite good. Chastity liked to talk and have fun but would be serious when it was the time and have fun when the time was also right. Alexandria always had a serious look on her face and would only smile to her loved ones and to something so funny she would burst. She was unusually very good at playing pranks and just give a glare when they blamed her. That's one way she got her nickname.
"Well, its your 16th birthday, so now its time." Lisa said taking one sisters hand into one of hers.
"Time for what?" asked Casey.
"Well, as you know I'm not your mother." Lisa said sitting them down on her bed. She went to her safe that was covered by a blanket and opened it. Even Casey couldn't open it. She took out a gold box and set it down in front of them.
"We know your not our mother, we were adopted by you." Trixie told her as she remembered her childhood days.
"Well, to tell you the truth, I found you in the forest and you two are originally princesses of the Sanct Kingdom."Lisa told them.
"What!?" they both exclaimed at the same time.
"It was the day after the Sanct kingdom was attacked, I had found you two on the ground both hungry and crying. I had brought you two to my house and cleaned you up. I had found in Trixies clothing was a silk pouch." Lisa said taking out a faded pouch. She opened it and revealed two necklaces. One read Alexandria and the other Chastity.
"And in Casey's clothing I found a letter for you two to read. The letter that was given to the finder said that I wasn't supposed to give you any of this until your 16'th birthday." Lisa told them as she watched them carefully look at the necklaces, and the other jewelry in the box. One necklace read the name Relena and a ring had the words RPxHY 4-Eva inscribed in it while another read the same thing only with a stone on it.
"Here are your birth certificates. They're not official though. It seemed that at your birth, it was still war and your mother had given birth in her house. But it proves that you are her daughters because it has the signatures of witnesses, most likely the staff. So in the attack, they must have all died because no one knows that you two exist, or that your mother was ever pregnant." Lisa said glancing at the two as she handed them the papers. She knew it was a lot to find out in half an hour.
"Well, let me leave you two alone, if you need to ask me anything, I'll be in the kitchen." Lisa said before leaving.
"Trixie, can you believe it. I knew that we were adopted but I never really thought about our parents." Casey said glancing at everything.
"I thought about it sometimes but just thought that they were beatknicks who left us in an orphanage." Trixie replied holding up the letter.
"Well, lets read it." Casey said grabbing it out of her sister's hand and opened it gently. They found a letter and started reading it.
Dear Alexandria and Chastity,
By now the person who has taken you under their wing has done me what I wished and I thank them for that. This must be hard realizing all of this and I know it will just be time before it sinks in. Well, let me explain your past.
A war had just begun and your father, a war hero, was called out to fight. The night before he left we had one last night of passion, and I was pregnant with you two. I had given birth in my bed, 14 grueling hours but since I knew who the father was, I wasn't surprised. Alexandria was first then Chastity five minutes later. The moment I saw you two, I kissed you and hugged you both.
As you know, you two come from a royal family. Your full names are Alexandria Ursula Peacecraft Yuy and Chastity Zeleanna Peacecraft Yuy. Peacecraft the royal name and Yuy your father's name. Today we were attacked and I'm here watching you two stare at the the trees in wonder while I'm writing this letter. I had run from the kingdom, watching my most loyal servant die to protect us.
I hope that you two forgive me for leaving you in the woods, but I had no other choice. If the enemy knew you two existed, then you two would of died, and I couldn't bear that. So I ran, and I hid you two here hoping that someone with a good heart would find you and take care of you.
If you two forgive me for doing such a thing, please do one thing. Find your father. He maybe anywhere, but most likely in the Sanct Kingdom.. His name is Heero Yuy. He was a handsome man, one who I would always love. I know that he survived the war, he must have. He's a strong fighter and would never give up easily. So please, do this one request.
Oh I wish that I could see you two, how you have grown up. But I probably am, from above. I'll love you always and forever my little angels, Alaxandria and Chastity.
Love always,
Relena Peacecraft Yuy
"So that was our mom." Casey said as she finished reading the letter.
"Ursela Peacecraft Yuy." Trixie mumbled.
"Can you believe that. She was afraid for our lives and hid us. We were granted with a wonderful mother." Casey told her sister.
"Our father was a war hero, I wonder how he was like. I wonder how our mother was like." Trixie replied.
"Lets go speak to Miss. Lisa." Casey said as she left the room. Trixie followed.
"Miss Lena, exactly was on the letter that was addressed to you?" asked Casey. Even though Trixie was older, she was the one who was mainly in charge of the two.
"I don't remember much, because the letter said for me to burn it. But I do remember it said 'This Feather may seem worthless, but it holds all of my good intentions'. The letter told me to tell you two and said that you would understand in a matter of time." Lisa told them.
"Well, our letter said thank you and that we must leave." Trixie said.
"Ok, it's been fun raising you two. Taking care of you and helping you guys with your problems. Where are you going?" Lisa asked.
"We want to fullfill our mother's last request and find our father." Casey said standing up and hugging her.
"You will be the only mom that we know of who took care of us and loved us." Trixie said as she too hugged Lisa. When they broke apart, Lisa when into her room and came out a few minutes later.
"Here, your mother has seen you two as baby's and so have I. I remember changing you,feeding you, and loving you two. But your father hasn't. Take these pictures and show him how you two were when you were little. If you want, I could show you where I found you two before you leave to find your father." Lisa said as she handed them the pictures.
"Oh, that would be just wonderful Miss. Lisa. But first let us pack up and you can show us. We thank you for everything Miss. Lisa." Trixie said.

"Well, here it is. The tree I found you two on. Now I must go. Goodbye and I love you." Lisa said as she she hugged them and kissed them on the cheeks.
"Goodbye and thank you for everything Miss. Lisa." they said as they watched her leave.
"Well, this is the place Trixie." Casey told her sister.
"Hey, whats this?" asked Trixie as she bent down and started picking at the dirt.
"Oh My God." Casey replied when she saw it. Hidden in the dirt, was a small box. Casey opened the box and a letter with the words 'To My Beloved Heero' was written on it. Laying beneath it was a locket. Trixie opened it up and in it were pictures. On the left side was a picture of Casey and on the other one held a picture of Trixie. The locket layed on a picture. It was a picture of a young beautiful woman with blonde hair and aquamarine eyes, just like theirs. The woman had in her arms two newly born babies. She had on a smile and looked lovingly at the two babies.
"I guess the wind blew on it and it got dug into the ground. The explosions must have had such a great impact, that it went in that deep but thank goodness not all the way." Trixie told her.
"Well, lets get going. Now we have something to give our father, probably the last thing that she wanted to give him." Casey replied to her sister as she stood up and put the box in her bag.
"Casey, lets put the necklaces on." Trixie said to her sister.
"Why?" aske Casey.
"So when we see him, he'll believe us. Our necklaces look exactly like our mothers so maybe every girl in the royal family had one and he'll know." Trixie replied.
"Your right, but tuck it into your shirt." Casey told her.
"Ok, lets go. I sense that we are going to do a lot in the next couple of days." Trixie said.
