~Intro to the Story~
Once upon a time, in a far away kingdom on the brightest star ever to be known to mankind, lived the Sun and the Moon’s family.
The family of the Sun in the Moon kingdom was Heng-Huan Sun, Xun-Zhou Sun, Tai-Wei Sun, Jing-Ling Sun, and Mei-Ling Sun.
The family of the Moon in the Moon kingdom was Chun-Huan Moon, Hai-Xun Moon, Hung-Huo Moon, Shun-Ling Moon, and Yin-Yun Moon.
Both families of the Sun and the Moon were united, but each refused to change their family name.
~Chapter One~
“Yin-Yun! Yin-Yun! Stop!” cried Jing-Ling, Mei-Ling, and Shun-Ling. “How many times have I told you not to interrupt Brother Xun-Zhou, and Brother Tai-Wei’s training session with Master Jun-June!” yelled Jing-Ling. “Sorry,” mumbled Yin-Yun quietly. “Proper lady-like manners are important!” Mei-Ling scolded. “Besides! If you don’t do well on your final princess exam for the month, you don’t get to go to visit Earth!” Shun-Ling told her, frowning. “What?! But that’s not FAIR!! You guys got to go last month! I wanna go too!!” Yin-Yun cried. “Lady-like manners and speech, Yin-Yun! Or you’ll NEVER pass the test!” Mei-Ling scolded her again. Yin-Yun lowered her voice. “Now come along. Mother Chun-Huan wants a word with us.” Jing-Ling said quietly. “Now let’s go! Ling-Ling-Jing!!” Jing-Ling cried and with a sunburst in the shape of a bell, she floated away, hovering in mid-air, waiting for the others. “Ling-Ling-Mei!!” “Ling-Ling-Shun!!” Mei-Ling and Shun-Ling cried, and then a sunburst in a shape of a bell carried Mei-Ling up while a moonburst in the shape of a bell carried Shun-Ling up into the sky.
“DO hurry up, Yin-Yun!” Jing-Ling, Mei-Ling, and Shun-Ling cried to Yin-Yun. “Okay, okay!” she yelled. Then, she shouted, “Yun-Yun-Yin!!” and a moonburst in the shape of a cloud carried her up. “Let’s go!” Yin-Yun yelled, and the four princesses flew off with speed to meet their Mother, Chun-Huan, the Lady of the Moon.
