I picked up a new video game for my DS on a whim Friday evening and it's called Princess Debut. Basically its a dating sim for girls where you learn to dance and win the heart of a collection of Prince Charmings. You get to pick the name for your character and her zodiac sign, the amount of affection you start out with for each prince seems to be based on the zodiac sign that you pick.

Basic Plot: There is a parallel world where there is another you. This other you comes through a closet to send you to her world so that you can be Princess for a season and take her place at dance lessons, the competitions (there's two of them), and picking a Prince to be a dance partner because she doesn't do very well at that stuff. Naturally you agree and you find that all the Princes are a parallel version of boys that you go to school with, they even have similar names. There are several things you can't unlock unless you play the game all the way through and with each Prince you have two different endings, one where you marry the Prince in the future and one where you return to your world and start to become close to your worlds version of said Prince.

You also have to dance and while its hard to fail a competition it isn't impossible. The dancing is done by tracing within the lines on the touch screen and you get extra points if you hit the star at just the right time. For every bad that you get though you loose five hundred points and if you get to many of them the dance will end. The Waltzes aren't difficult, except for the Vienna Waltz, and the Tango and Paso Doble is a lot of fun. You can't watch the dance while you do it though, or you'll screw up, so the game offers a movie option as well. I like this option because while the animation isn't as good as it could be (ie Princess Cynthia's dress eating Prince Klaus's legs) it's a lot of fun because they were actually created from watching real dancers preform the dances.

I'm really liking this game, enough to admit that yes I am addicted and I want to play until I get every single option and hidden goodies that's out there. I've even discovered a Walkthrough so that I can have help figuring out how to partner with a two elusive Princes. The main reasons I like this game.

1. It's fun, the dancing is easy to pick up and quite enjoyable plus I really like the music.
2. I played it straight through all on my own with no cheats, no help from outside sources, nadda. Just me. True it's not the toughest game out there but I'm proud of myself so silence you!

When I first played the game, using the name Princess Rin, I was worried about not getting a partner so I took up the first offer that I got which was from the class clown (in the normal world) who loved to play pranks and was named Prince Vincent or Vince for short. He came from the River Kingdom. The second time, as Princess Kotoha, I went with Prince Liam from the Green Kingdom who loved plants, cooking, and was very laid back. The issue with Liam though was that he constantly talks about his sister Olive who is sick and being taken care off in a far away kingdom.

The one thing that seems to be consistent throughout all the times I've played is that Vince is in love with the Princess. This never seems to change as he always asks to be her partner and you always find a bottle with a love letter to the Princess in it. It was while I was playing as Kotoha and Liam wouldn't shut up about his sister that I got the idea for my drabble. Kotoha had found the bottle with Vince's letter in it and I figured out that no matter what Vince was going to like her, cause I've got three games going now and have played two already and in all of them he likes her. So I thought I'd write about how he felt seeing Liam and Kotoha together.

At megthelegend's insistence I've decided to post a couple of Mei-chan drabbles that I wrote this week. The first one is about Tami, my favorite character right after Rihito, and how she isn't to concerned about becoming a lady. The second is about Kento, Rihito's younger brother, and what's going through his head during the series.

Hope you like them!

Edit: So I've finally gotten to watch episode five...awesome episode with hugging and Kento kicking butt, but I've noticed something in this episode and in ep four. One of the girls, I can't tell who but I think she's either Luna or Ombra rank, is conspiring with Lucia-sama. It's not a Sole because they have different ties, unless the people in charge got sneaky and made them switch the ties around to surprise us. I just really hope it's not Tami, she's the only other Ombra outside of Mei. Though if you think about it often times the one no one expects is the one who is often pulling the strings. ::crosses fingers:: Please don't be my adorable Tami!
