Lost and Found (chapter 11: princesses up)

Chapter 9: Adjustment

It had been a week since the Leighton Family had been on Deonys. As it was, the princess was not lying about the change in gravity being so intense. Bonnie Leighton and her husband, a stay-at-home father of 40, and a bit of a weakling (although, with a full head of hair (buzzed), no body fat to speak of and a decent style of dress), Ray seemed to be adjusting the fastest. Within a week, they’d probably have full control over their systems.

Commander Leighton, now officially Ambassador Leighton, hadn’t expected a response from her body, having been subjected to the force of liftoff in a shuttle. However, she had never been subjected to constant gravity such as this. Eventually her muscles gave out within 3 hours, and she blushed. Having an one gee weight of 160 pounds meant she now weighed 368 pounds.

She lasted longer than her youngest daughter, Elena, who managed only 15 minutes on the surface before the inevitable happened. Weighing only 38 pounds, the extra 49 pounds on her body, tipping the scales at 87 pounds, meant she could barely even walk.

Bonnie also outlasted her 16 year old daughter, Gina, who was having a hard time walking carrying the now incredibly heavy Elena, who combined with her own 345 pound frame meant she lasted only 30 minutes longer than Elena did. By no means was she fat, she just happened to be built like her mother—a brick shithouse, as the saying goes. Her weight was 150 pounds at 1G, able to bench 160, and able to squat 450 pounds. She is quite proud of her strength.

Surprisingly, though, the weakling of a husband had the easiest time adjusting to the gravity. Other than a minor bit of urine leakage, he was okay. And now, a week since landing, he was brave enough to wear his normal boxers. Only having weighed 100 pounds before, he weighed 230 pounds now. Of course, he used to be a local athlete and never let his endurance regimen go…

***

Elena crossed her arms and stared at Gina annoyingly. “This isn’t right.” Gina simply smiled. For the last two weeks, while Elena had been going through strength training with Gina, she had been waking up in the mornings so completely wiped out and unable to lift her arms. So, the training only happened once every other day. It has been having good effects, though. Yesterday, Elena was able to stand up for a few hours without support.

Of course, Gina had been strength training as well—she was determined that when she got back to Earth, she was going to be the strongest person at school. However, it seemed like her muscles were getting smaller… She was slightly perplexed.

Not like it mattered at the moment, anyway. She had to concentrate on feeding her little sister, sitting in her little chair in her wet diaper. Of course, she still had on one too… but she was starting to feel confident, having gone several days without having to use it herself. Her parents had been out of them for about 4 days now.

After breakfast, Gina casually picked up Elena and took her to her own little room, to change her and let her watch TV while she sipped on her apple juice and let her muscles heal up from yesterday.

A knock was heard from outside… it seemed odd. Her parents had left this morning at a fairly early hour not expecting to get back until late. A little suspicious (although, oddly so, seeing as how she was currently sitting in the seat of power for the universal government, which would be heavily guarded…)

She looked out the peephole. It was the lady from the cruiser who would occasionally come to check in on them to make sure they were okay. She opened up the door and motioned for her to come in.

The woman nodded gently, and came in. Gina sighed and more or less… well, she didn’t slam the door but she wasn’t exactly careful with it either. The woman cringed. “There was no need to do that…”

Gina rolled her eyes. “Meh… Mom and dad ain’t here.” Her ‘generic teenager’ persona came out, being around someone she really didn’t know, masking her true personality. “What do you need here?”

“… I wanted to meet with you, Miss Ambassador’s Daughter. I don’t know your name, though.” She seemed confused. Perhaps a bit offended. “I was hoping that we could be friends, that I could help you open up. Your mother said that you tended to be… cold.”

Gina’s eye twitched. “She said that, huh?” Well, normally she loved her mother and had no reason to act otherwise, however… tonight… “I’ll play your game.” The teen said. The woman looked confused. “Don’t dwell on it too much. I’m Gina. My sister, Elena, is in the other room.”

The woman nodded. “Of course.” She smiled. This woman had a very professional manner to her, if not a touch stiff. “I am Princess Christae.”

Gina’s blood ran cold. “Oh… Um… I’m sorry your highness, I didn’t mean to insult you.” Gina never was one for the whole ‘princess’ thing, although… her sister was. “I didn’t mean to come off so rude.” Her demeanor changed almost instantly.

Christae simply laughed gently to herself. She gently, yet firmly grabbed Gina by her shoulder, and (somehow) gently pushed her over to the sofa. Her strength seemed unreal, especially since, even though she was slightly taller, she couldn’t have more muscle than Ray did.

The teen took the hint and sat down on the sofa. “Now, Gina,” the royal said in a calm tone, “I have no intentions of harming your or your family. Also,” she smiled gently as she hugged the teen, “I”d like it if you just called me Christae or Chrissy.”

Gina looked perplexed. “But, isn’t like… against the law for nobility to mingle with peasants?” Christae sighed. “I mean… at the very least, for your protection or something?”

“First off, you are not a peasant. Nobody is according to our founding doctorine. Besides, you are a guest of the state. Also, the royal family is elected every 400 years. My family has been elected the past 3 times.” She sighed. “And yes, I do have security detail. Just not as much as you might think.

It was at this point that Gina noticed that the Princess’s garb seemed a bit off. Her top was cut like a vest with large openings and a deep plunge, just above the top of something similar to a bra, if it was only an elastic strap across her breasts to cover her modesty. Her bottom garments were more or less loose cotton-esque material that was similar in design to a skort, only about knee-length. The vest is a deep red and the skort is a deep black. And to top it off, she didn’t seem to have on shoes…

Gina looked at Christae, trying to figure out what she was really wearing, never having seen an outfit so… exotic before. Everything seemed to fit just a little loose. It looked comfortable, yet seemed sexy, and at the same time… didn’t look slutty at all. “Um… why are you dressed like that?” Gina asked the princess.

“It’s just what I wear around the castle. Father doesn’t like it too much, but the whole castle isn’t air conditioned, either. Just the newer sections. He’ll just have to put up with it.” She smiles.

“Heh…” She actually could appreciate that kind of attitude. Gina, being the tomboy, and a bit ADD, changed the subject. “In any case, why are you so much stronger than me, despite looking smaller?”

“I was actually hoping you would ask that,” Christae replied. “You see, when your body is on a planet with such a high level of gravity for so long, eventually your body begins to modify itself in order to manage the weight of your own structures. Your heart changes first, becoming eight to ninety percent more efficient. It’s already happened in you. You were an athelete before, but your heart still would have improved about 80 percent.” She seemed to anticipate her reaction to that statement.

“Furthermore, your bones start to lighten up, by forming calcium crystalline structures, which are stronger and lighter. This happens in about 6 weeks. It’s why calcium is so doubly important for you right now. And I’m almost certain you’ve noticed your muscle mass shrinking, yet your strength improving?”

Gina nodded. “Yeah… I was curious about that as well…”

“At these gravity levels, your body needs to be able to handle more weight more efficiently. This is improved by the body creating more capillaries all throughout the muscles, thus significantly increasing blood flow and oxygen to your muscles, which in turn allows fewer muscles to do more work without feeling fatigued.

"When all is said and done, you’ll weigh under 200 pounds when your leave this planet, on this planet. On earth, you’ll weigh a scant 85 pounds… and you’ll be about 4 times stronger.” Christae smiled. “You’ll probably enjoy that. You’ll be incredibly quick and incredibly strong.”

Gina looked forward. “Wow… That’s incredible.”

The woman nodded. “Now, let’s go check on your sister. I imagine she’s worried you haven’t checked up on her in a while… she may have a soiled diaper.” Gina nodded, as she stood up with Christae and went to go check on Elena.

Chapter 10: Telecommunication

Leighton and Eaton sighed. The technology the Deonysians was allowing them to talk in real time to their immediate supervisors on earth. However, this being a historic event, the president was at the conference as well. Of course, this wasn’t widely broadcast on civilian channels—it wasn’t broadcast at all.

“Eaton… Leighton.” A man dressed in highly decorated military garb addressed the Officer and Commander. “Your thoughts on the E.T.s?” The two looked at each other. Eaton, having the most experience with the country spoke first.

“Deadly, but harmless, sir.” Leighton looked down at the shortened (yet still in proportion) officer at her side. “That’s the only way I can think to describe them.”

Leighton nodded in agreement. “I see no desire to harm anyone.”

The Man looked at the two of them. “I need a better explanation, if possible, Officer Eaton. We need to know what we are dealing with.”

Michael sighed. “I mean exactly what I say. They’ve got some truly horrific technology here. I’ve seen their weapons systems. They’re centuries beyond anything we could even imagine. Both in non-lethal and lethal force abilities. However, they don’t seem to have any desire to use these weapons except in self defense and in the defense of their… charges.”

The man looked perplexed. “I’m a general. I don’t have time for word games. Out with it.”

“As far at the universe at large is concerned, we are a part of the Deonysian Empire. We’re not a colony, we’re a self-autonomous region. It’s been like this for the past 100 years now, apparently. As it stands, nothing will change. And to be honest, it would be advantageous for us to ally with the Deonysian Government. They’ll protect us under all but the most extreme circumstances, and will do whatever it takes to protect the population of earth, including planetwide evacuation, should the need ever arise.” Eaton sighed. “In a nutshell sir, they’ll leave us alone more or less if we become a tourist attraction and vice versa.”

A man stepped out of the shadows. Dressed in a suit, the president looked at his two star soldiers. “Perhaps it would be best for the US to ally with the Deonysians. For now, both General Martin and myself need to discuss this. We’ll be in contact.”

Officer Eaton and Commander Leighton saluted their two superiors, before the screen cut out.

“I have got to be the only toddler who’s ever handled a treaty with a foreign government.” Eaton sighed as he walked out. Leighton only chucked as she picked him up and carried him out the room and down the hall.

Chapter 11: Princesses

Elena had been watching TV for a solid hour now. Her diaper had been soiled about 15 minutes ago… she was becoming so used to it she didn’t even notice she did it this time. Of course, the smell was the first thing that Gina noticed when she walked into the room.

“Elena! You’re supposed to let me know when you go poopy!” the elder sister was slightly irritated. Christae simply chuckled as she walked into the room.

The younger stood up quickly and placed her hands on her side, although… when she did, she felt the feces move around she… noticed. “Um… well… DON’T CALL IT A POOPY! You can say crap around me…” she trailed off a little… she was losing her control and was feeling embarrassed.

Gina was about to say something, but the princess intervened, gently grabbing her shoulder and giving her an eye that seemed to tell her to hold off for a couple of seconds. She then walked over to the little girl, whom she could tell was infatuated with princesses based on her bedspreads and toys. Lifting the somewhat confused little girl up, she gently kissed her on the forehead.

“You like princesses, yes?” Her voice was much softer than it was with Gina, but it wasn’t patronizing. It also had a soft accent which the elder hadn’t noticed too much before.

The girl nodded. “Yes. I like princesses.” The royal smiled.

“You know, I am a princess too. I’m the princess of this whole planet.” She gently kissed the child on her forehead as she laid her down on the changing table, and began to undo her diaper.

The girl’s eyes began to sparkle. “Really!?” She became extremely enthusiastic all of a sudden. “Wow… No wonder you’re so pretty.” By now, the girl’s bottom had been wiped clean and the soiled garment had been thrown away.

“Yes, really!” The woman nodded. “And thank you. I always enjoy seeing little girl’s eyes light up. I know it’s rare for little girls to meet princesses.” By now, a new diaper was under her bum, and she was beginning to tape it up, having taken care of the powdering and lotioning.

The little girl nodded. “Wow… I can’t believe I’m talking to a princess…” By now, she was being held by the princess sitting on her bed.

“Well, I can’t believe I’m talking to such an enthusiastic little girl. We don’t get visitors very often, you know? You’re in my castle!” Christae returned the enthusiasm, perhaps a bit falsely.

Gina stared on in amazement as the woman chatted it up with her little sister and managed to change her diaper so effortlessly. It didn’t make sense… Elena always fought diaper changes from both her and her mother. It was a difficult task, yet the princess seemed to handle it effortlessly.

Eventually, the two finally parted as the younger went back to watching her television, and Gina and Christae walked out. The princess hopped over top of the sofa and plopped down. Gina walked around and sat down in the chair opposite of her.

Christae smiled. “You owe me.” Her accent was less obvious now.

“How did you do that?” The teen was perplexed.

The princess looked down. “The gift of gab is a requirement as a royal. As Heir-Apparent, I have somewhat of an expectation to be able to talk to people and convince them of things without them knowing.” She smiled, as she stared back at the teen. “I like you… and honestly, if we hit it off, I would like you to remain here as my aide. With your mother’s permission, of course.”

The teen smiled. “Well, let’s go shopping first, eh?” She figured the woman would be rich beyond all imagination, and might as well take advantage of it until she could figure out if it was worth it all.

The princess chuckled. “You’ve got the makings of a good ambassador.” She knew exactly what was going through the teens mind. “You’re pretty sly. But, I’m game… Tomorrow, then.”

comments appricated, as usual... if you want to, comment on both chapters added tonight.

I'm gonna aim for 15 chapters, but it may end up being more.

the next story I write will be called 'July'

However, I'm having trouble thinking of a name for the main character...

I need a greek name with a diminutive form for the given name... but I do need a full name, y'know a given name and a surname.

any suggestions (within reason) will be considered.
