Now for the title. I thought I'd share the opening that my sister had so excitedly written all those years ago. The story has come a long way since then, as has her writing, but since I just happen to have it on my computer (I rescued all of the files that had been on that old computer and moved them over here), I'll let ya'll see it.

Chapter 1
In the Garden.
A young blond headed girl
sat in her garden crying.
“ Why do I have to be a Mix breed Reflector?
Why could not I be stronger in something else like Swicheroo, or a
Chef! Or maybe even Healer, or Blender, or something else, not
Reflector?” She sobbed.
She
had once again gotten into a fight with the castle guard for no
apparent reason, they had just been talking and she asked if he had
seen Rayelm, her personal guard. He had had a bad day. And got mad,
and said that if he knew where everybody was he wouldn’t be a
guard, and she got mad and said that was no way to address the
princess and well that started a fight, and she ran to her garden to
hide. She was the princess of the planet Gildiware she should be
able to control herself but because she was so strong Reflector she
was forced to reflect whether she wanted to or not. She was able to
reflect others feelings and if you were being stubborn, then she
would be stubborn. If you were grouchy, then she would be grouchy.
But then again if you were in a good mood, then she would be in a
good mood.
“Oh
why, Oh why ,OH WHY,” she continued to sob.
Just
then her identical twin sister walked into the garden “Why what,
Kathie?” she asked.
“Why
could We not be stronger in something else than reflector?” She
answered.
“Kathie
you are doing a good job of being a blender right now. Besides
Reflector isn’t all that bad.” She told her. “ You can take
pictures of books with your mind and read them whenever you want. I
cannot do that, I only know where I saw the information and see the
cover. You can see the entire book.”
Kathie
stopped crying “ That is true.” she sniffed. “Katie you are
wonderful.” She added smiling.
“Well
think that for as long as you like but Dad said he wanted us to have
supper with him for our Birthday in the Royal Quart.” Katie said
Kathie
groaned. The twins hated the prying eyes of the court. They expected
them to act like princesses. They hated the fact that they could do
nothing without the entire solar system of Soynee knowing.
“ Oh
well.” Kathie sighed “ I guess we had better turn in to Sarah to
get ready for the entire world to know we turned fifteen,” she said
sarcastically
Katie
laughed “At least we do not have to worry about this our entire
lives we soon will be having fun with the stars running the Eagle and
her crew around the universe for the next 400 years of our lives.
Discovering new life forms and keeping the peace with the ones that
we already know about.” She said
Kathie
smiled, “I cannot wait, but… race you to Sarah.” She yelled
over her shoulder as she half ran, half flew to the castle.
Literally.
“ No
fair, you got a head start, and can fly.” Katie said as she took
off running at a speed that would of easily passed up even the
fastest horse.
Chapter 2
Getting ready for a Banquet.
“I
won.” Katie shouted just loud enough for Kathie to hear a few
steppes behind her.
“
Runners can always beat flyers when going up stairs.” She said as
soon as she had landed.
“ Girls,
what would your father think if he saw you racing like a couple of
tomboys?” A tall, young looking woman with fire red hair and
spectacles opening the door.
Both
girls looked down. “Yes Sarah.” They chorused.
“In
you go, you Both will need a bath, and your best dress Ironed, and
your hair done up. Before I will let you down to the Banquet you
father the King has planned in celebration of your fifteenth
Birthday.” Sarah said shooing them inside their room to be turned
into Princesses.
Kathie
was the first to speak up “Sarah, do you think that Daddy invited
the entire galaxy, or just most of it?”
Sarah
laughed. “ You know your father, He probably invited quite a few
people just not the entire galaxy. I know that I saw at least six of
the seven planet’s royal families arrive today.” She said trying
not to laugh while saying it.
Both
twins groaned. “As long as he did not invite the creatures from the
planet Aama,” She said
Aama
was the planet closest to their sun and it is hot there the only
creatures that lives there are the Hamons which are a type of dragon.
There
were actually eight planets but only seven had what we would call
human life on them. There was Aama which was the first, then came
Baliga, then Gildiware, then Delphie, Eron, Calpa, Homon, And the
last was Zan. These eight planets orbited their star Soynee which was
a lot like our sun just a bit smaller.
The
twins knew all this stuff they had visited all the planets many times
already while practicing flying the Eagle, their Personal space ship…
well not exactly Personal but they were the captain of it as soon as
they turned sixteen they would be able to leave their solar system
behind and discover new ones. Kathie fingered her uniform a black
strait skirt that went to her ankles, a light pink polo shirt, and a
pink scarf that acted like a force field, and a pink daisy with a
ruby in the middle of it. This she picked up, and twisted the gem.
“Goat
girl to Eagle come in Eagle.” “ It responded.
Katie
ad Gave Kathie a look that said what are you doing. Kathie Ignored
it. And responed in to the flower “ Which of the Planets have not
arrived yet to the Banquet?”
“ the
Planet of Zan.” The Ship informed her.
“Was
it invited?”
