The Spider Queen

"Hey…. look at that girl over there."

"It's rude to stare honey!"

"She's beautiful but it's just a shame that…"

Beams of sunlight gently streamed down on the body of a girl casually leaning against a wall.

She seemed oblivious to the whispers of the curious passersby as her fingers nervously gripped a communicator device.

One glance at the girl would explain why she kept drawing in the stares of others as there was only one word that could describe her.

Gorgeous.

Dressed in a white blouse which was paired with dark blue jeans and white sneakers that made the girl overflow with the charms of youth.

It would not be strange to mistake the girl for a popular idol were it not for the four spider-like appendages poking out of specially designed holes in her outfit.

The girl's height was also quite tall at around six feet and nine inches with intimidating golden eyes and pointed ears that gave away her alien heritage.

Sophie kept looking at the time on her communicator device as she waited patiently for Cleo to show up.

Rokan was not pleased that his daughter was apparently going on a date but the fake tears that welled up in Sophie's eyes caused the poor duke to reluctantly change his mind.

The duke's suggestion of also accompanying the girls as a chaperone was also firmly declined by his daughter horrified at the mere thought.

In fact, out of the corner of her eyes she could spot the blurry silhouettes of the shadow guards the duke had arranged to serve as extra security measures.

This was the compromise that the father daughter pair had agreed on.

The location of the date was going to be at a zoo called the 'Tmperora Valley Zoo' which was in the middle of a gated noble community.

Sophie had always enjoyed watching animals and Cleo seemed to have no problem with her suggestion, so the date was official!

"God, I look like I mess," Sophie whined as she stared at her reflection in one of the storefront mirrors.

It was not too obvious, but she could still see the bags under her eyes that she desperately tried to hide with make up.

Did she get a good night sleep?

Hell no.

Poor Sophie spent the entire night frantically tossing and turning as she stressed over her upcoming date with Cleo.

What if she embarrassed herself?

What if she misread Cleo's attraction to her?

These questions kept bouncing around Sophie's mind which caused her to not get a single wink of sleep.

Sophie was currently waiting at the entrance to the zoo as the meeting time was ten o clock.

She had arrived around five minutes early, but her princess was nowhere in sight.

Ding! Ding!

A notification popped up on her communicator and Sophie immediately opened up the chat window.

Cleo: [ Sorry I just reached! Where are you?]

Sophie: [ I'm leaning against the brick wall at the entrance]

Cleo: [ Oh! I see you!]

Sophie looked up from her communicator and vaguely detected some movement before the heavy weight of a body fell straight into her arms.

She staggered back slightly but fortunately there was a wall behind her that provided support so she did not fall down.

"I missed you the whole-time during the exam," Cleo rubbed her head gently in Sophie's chest like a small cat.

"Silly girl, didn't we talk basically every day on the virtual net?" Sophie laughed as she questioned.

"It's not the same!" came the firm reply from the girl in her arms.

Cleo was wearing a deep cerulean blue dress with wave-like patterns that flowed gracefully along the sides.

She was wearing light make up which combined with her piercing green eyes and fair skin, made her seem like a sea fairy come ashore.

"So, did you wait a long tim…." Cleo finally looked up at Sophie's face and trailed off in shock.

For the first time in her entire life, Princess Cleopatra Sisrelis found herself at a complete loss for words.

"You…look…good," she managed to stammer out while blushing heavily.

Sophie's face could have been created by the gods themselves as her delicate nose, sharp eyes and full lips gave her a seductive beauty.

Paired with a slender figure with curves in all the right places…. those towering peaks caused Cleo to miss Sophie's reply as she eyed them hungrily.

"Are you ready to go in?" Sophie asked.

"Err…yes!" Cleo hurriedly spoke as she averted her eyes.

What if Sophie found out why she wasn't paying attention?!

Sophie's father had given her the highest V.I.P pass for the zoo that allowed a maximum of ten guests, so the girls entered without any problems.

[Welcome to Tmperora Valley Zoo!]

A holographic sign flashed above the air as Sophie and Cleo walked inside the massive zoo.

The zoo was divided into different sections based on the galaxy where the animals were originally found.

The architecture of the zoo was based on buildings in the twenty first century so most of the structures were made of concrete or steel.

There was even recreations of scenes inside historical photographs like popcorn vendors and cheerful old men selling balloons.

It was a Saturday, so the zoo was fairly crowded, and Sophie saw many families taking their kids to enjoy the exhibitions.

There were even quite a few couples boldly showing their love by flirting and saying sweet words to one another.

Sophie mentally lit a candle for the poor single dogs enjoying the zoo by themselves.

"Should we check out the Milky Way section?" Cleo asked.

"I heard that scientists managed to create felines genetically similar to the long-lost tiger species!"

Cleo had spent several hours going over the different attractions in the zoo in order to boost her image during the date.

Sophie had no problem with her suggestion and followed the bubbly girl who confidently walked ahead.

She was even a bit curious as Sui Meng's memories of earth animals were thousands of years ago so who knew what direction evolution had taken some of these creatures.

Wait a minute…

Sophie noticed that Cleo and she were simply walking in the same direction with an awkward distance between themselves.

This won't do!

"Come on Sophie… you need to take control of this relationship!" Sophie mumbled to herself as she gathered up her courage.

"I heard that they plan on cross breeding some of the whales with…" Cleo was still talking enthusiastically when a firm hand grabbed her palm.

She turned around to see the hybrid girl blushing furiously before rushing forward.

Mhmm!

Cleo's eyes widened in shock as a pair of lips gently touched hers before leaving as abruptly as they arrived.

Sophie was now looking away, but it was impossible not to see the reddish tinge at the back of her ears.

A mischievous glow appeared in Cleo's eyes as she decided to tease her fiery pepper.

"That's exactly what I like darling" Cleo walked forward and whispered softly in Sophie's ears.
