Bonus Chapter (Ambers POV)

"On second thought, I don't wanna go" I cross my arms, frowning.

"C'mon, it'll be fine. They won't hurt you or anything" Loki reassures me. "Well maybe Odin would but not mother"

"Loki, don't say that. Amber ignore Loki. Our parents would love you" Thor butts in.

"I'm too scared to go now. I mean you guys are basically princes and I'm just… me"

"What if I were to go too? Would you go?" Jane interrupts.

"Maybe" I say, leaning further into Loki.

"Ok good, pack tonight. We are leaving tomorrow morning" Thor claps happily and walks off.

"THOR! WAIT!" I sigh as he already disappeared. "I said maybe not yes"

Loki chuckles and I slap his arm. "Not funny"

"Don't worry, Jane has been to Asgard once and she's fine. You'll be fine too. I'll protect you"

"Oh sure, you'll protect me. Sure" I roll my eyes.

"Are you doubting me?" He challenges.

"Nah just saying that I'm the stronger one here so…" I smirk.

Loki grumbles and looks down at the ground, defeated.

"Fine let's go pack" Loki drags his feet towards my room and I shake my head.

"Don't be such a child Loki" I walk past him into my room and open the closer, staring at the closet.

"Don't pack everything ok? I know that if I left you to pack on your own you would literally pack everything" Loki jumped on my bed and stared up at the ceiling.

"It'll be fine. I promise to pack only a few of my clothes" I grin, starting to take all the clothes I really liked.

"Oh sure, just a few" He rolls his eyes.

Loki and I walk towards the roof of Stark Tower and see Jane and Thor arguing about something. Loki looks at me and shrugs so we go up to them and they stop arguing to look at us. Thor smiles and Jane rolls her eyes and comes over to me, giving me a hug.

"Are we all ready to go?" Thor asks and I nod. "Better hold onto Loki then"

I was about to ask why but I'm suddenly pulled towards Loki. He wraps his arms around me and Thor grabs onto Jane. He shouts up to the sky. "Heimdall!"

I tilt my head in confusion until a huge rainbow looking beam shoots down upon us and we fly up. I shut my eyes and grab onto Loki's arms. The next thing I know, we stop and I jolt forward, almost falling if not for Loki grabbing me and keeping me steady.

I blink a few times before looking around. My jaw drops at what I see. We are in a golden type of dome and a dark skinned man stands before us dressed in gold…. With horns? That are gold? What's with all the gold here?

"Thor, Loki, Jane" He bows his head slightly. "Welcome back"

"Heimdall! I would like you to meet Jane's younger sister, Amber" Thor introduces me.

"Uh hi?" I say, suddenly intimidated by the tall man. His golden eyes stare at me, like he was looking at my soul.

He gives a warm smile. "Hello child, and welcome to Asgard"

"Uh thanks?" I smile, still a little awkward. He chuckles slightly and removes his sword from the… the ground?

"Odin awaits you" Heimdall bows his head and gestures down the massive rainbow bridge?

"Holy shit" I whisper, walking away from Loki to see the massive rainbow bridge. "This is so cool!"

Loki comes up behind me and points out the massive pyramid golden thing. "That's the palace"

"Woah shit. Why is everything so golden and big?" I gaze out at the city of Asgard and take in the view.

"It's Asgard, what do you expect?" Thor comes up to us with Jane.

"Well, uh for one thing. How the heck are we supposed to cross this bridge? It's going to take us forever!" I cry. "I don't wanna walk so far for that long!"

"Don't worry! I can fly there!" Thor swings his hammer and I face palm.

"Thor you idiot. You can fly but what about the rest of us?" Loki crosses his arms.

Thor drops his hammer and looks at us. "Oh yeah that's true"

"Oh! How about I fly Jane over there and Amber can run as a Wolf with you Loki" Thor suggests.

"Didn't u hear me before Thor? I don't wanna run that" I gesture to the massive bridge.

"Oh well Loki can teleport you and I'll fly Jane. How's that? Sound good brother?" Thor looks over to Loki and I look up at him.

"Yeah okay. Better hold on then Amber" Loki grabs me and we teleport to the other side of the bridge.

I stumble slightly once again and Loki helps me balance. "I will never get used to that"

Loki chuckles and kisses my forehead. Thor lands with Jane and fixes his cape that flew over his head from the landing. Four soldiers with spears make their way towards us and bow at Thor. Thor nods his head and they escort us to the palace.

I look around in amazement as we pass the small towns within Asgard. Small children run up to Thor and he laughs. Some even run up to Jane and grab her hand. I feel a tug on my tail and I whip around to see a small boy trying to catch my tail. I chuckle as I move my tail out of his grasp and he tries to jump for it.

I eventually let him grab my tail and he giggles, patting it before running off. I look up at Loki to see him deep in thought. I snap my fingers in his face and he blinks rapidly, staring at me.

"Yeah?" He looks as if he wasn't completely here, still deep in his thoughts.

"You good?" I ask, grabbing his face and staring into his eyes.

"Yeah I'm okay. Sorry I was deep in thought" He smiles, finally returning from his thoughts.

We continue our walk to the palace and three men and a woman walks up to Thor.

"My friends!" Thor shouts, smiling with happiness.

"Thor! I see you have company" The blonde haired man says. "Beautiful company, might I add."

Loki becomes defensive and moves in front of me slightly. "Fandral! This is Jane, who you have met. And this is her sister, Amber"

"Ah. Lady Amber. A lovely name for a lovely lady." Fandral moves closer to me but Loki suddenly stands right in front of me, arms crossed. "Oh uh Loki. Hello"

"Fandral" Loki greets, but I can hear the slight growl in his voice. I roll my eyes.

"Hogun! Volstagg! Sif! Good to see you too!" Thor suddenly says, making me sigh in relief. I didn't want Loki to start a fight here.

"Amber, I would like to introduce you to the Warriors Three and Lady Sif." Thor pulls me away from behind Loki. "You have already met Fandral. The big guy is Volstagg. He loves his food and is a great fighter. Hogun is a great fighter and quiet, but nice. Then there is the Lady Sif. Quite a skilled warrior. They are very loyal friends"

Hogun nods at me and Volstagg gives a friendly wave. Fandral keeps space between us but smiles, knowing if he came closer, he would have to deal with Loki. Sif however walks my way and looks down at me.

"You look like a fighter" She says, looking me up and down.

"I am a fighter" I smirk, looking straight into her eyes.

"Hmm. After you see the king I would like to have a match. You up for the challenge?" She starts smirking.

"I never back down from a challenge" I take a step closer and cross my arms.

Sif smiles and takes a step back. She looks over to Thor and Loki. "I like her already"

Loki raises his eyebrows and walks up to me. "Sif is quite a skilled fighter as Thor said. So better be careful pup"

"Do you underestimate me again Loki?" I smirk as we make our way inside the palace.

"No I just don't want you to get hurt. That's all" He puts his arm around my shoulders and pulls me close to him.

"Sure" I chuckle and he glares down at me playfully.

Loki removes his hand from my shoulders and drops it down to his sides. We reach the bottom of the staircase to the throne. Thor gets down on one knee and bows before the old man with a golden eye patch who sits atop the big golden throne. Geez so much golden, oh look he even has a golden staff. Loki however just bows his head. Jane and I awkwardly stand there, not knowing whether to bow or curtsy or whatever.

"My sons" The golden old man greets. Thor stands and Loki looks up. "You have brought guests"

"Father this is Jane and her sister Amber" Odin's gaze first goes to Jane then to me. When he looks at me, he raises an eyebrow.

"So you are the one who has captured the heart of my son" Odin stares at me, making me feel a little uncomfortable.

"Uh yeah? Sure?" I scratch the back of my neck, not really sure what to say.

Odin suddenly laughs which makes me jump. Why does it sound like he hasn't laughed in like 100 years? Or even more? And by the looks Thor and Loki gave each other definitely confirms that this was weird.

"After so long, both my boys have found someone they love and keep them in their places" Odin says after a while. "Especially Loki. You used to be so quiet and hidden away from everyone. I didn't think you could ever find yourself a girl, especially one like Amber"

I laugh at this, except not as loud as Thor as his laugh echoes throughout the halls. Loki glares at Thor and me before rolling his eyes.

"Wait until your mother hears about this" Odin smiles. "Boys I assume you would show them to their rooms. Correct?"

"Yes father" Thor bows, as does Loki before we all leave the throne room.

As we reach another large hallway, Thor stops and turns around to face Loki. "Father was different today"

"Mmhm" Loki agrees. Trying to move past Thor, however Thor stopped him with raised eyebrows.

"Were you somehow controlling him?" Thor asks suspiciously.

Loki scoffs. "Oh yes because I would totally make fun of myself"

"I was just making sure brother" Thor turns around and takes Jane down another hallway, most likely towards his room.

"Isn't your room that way too?" I ask, watching Thor and Jane walk through a door.

"It is but if I remember correctly, you and Sif have a match. So I'm going to take you to the battle grounds" Loki smirks, placing his arm over my shoulders.

"Oh yeah that's right" I suddenly become excited. We continue walking until we are outside. I look around to see soldiers training with weapons and shields, jumping around almost like ninjas.

"Amber!" I turn to whoever called out my name and I see Sif walk towards me.

"Hi Sif" I smile, stepping away from Loki and walk up to her.

"You ready to lose?" She challenges, adjusting her armour.

"Sorry, losing isn't in my vocabulary" I smirk, cracking my knuckles.

I see Loki at the side of my eyes take a seat and make himself comfortable. Sif turns around to the training soldiers. "Everyone take a break, off the training field!"

All the soldiers sparring stop and walk off the field, putting away their weapons and watch as Sif and I walk on the field. She goes through the rules. "Hand to hand combat, no cheating, no weapons, and no special abilities"

"Got it" I smirk, preparing myself.

Sif adjusts her armour once more. "Whenever you're ready"

I observe her movements as I go for the first attack. I do a simple right hook towards her head which she avoids easily. I watch her foot work and her reaction time. I'm pretty impressed at how fast she is able to move.

She drops to the ground, whipping her leg around in an attempt to kick my legs from under me. I quickly flip over her, grabbing her shoulders in the process and throwing her across the field. I land gracefully on my feet while she on the other hand lands on her back. That's gonna hurt later for sure.

She looks surprised for a second as she sits there. She then gets up and runs at me. I do the unexpected and run towards her. She jumps, raising her fist to attack but I quickly slide under her, grabbing her leg in the process and bring her down to the ground.

She rolls over and successfully kicks my feet from under me and I land on my back. I curse under my breath and my eyes widen as I see a fist coming towards my face. I quickly duck and roll away from her. I was about to stand up when a foot swings around and hits me directly in my side.

I growl slightly and quickly get up. I run towards her and throw a punch at her. Like I expected, she moves to the side and grabs my arm. She flips me over her but I turn myself around so I would end up landing on my feet and grab her arms before she can let go. I swing her around and throw her across the field once again.

She manages to land on her feet and immediately runs at me. Instead of jumping and attacking, she aims lower. I quickly do a front flip over her and turn around just in time to avoid a high kick she sent at me. She throws multiple punches and kicks at me which I barely avoid.

She suddenly grabs me by the shoulders and tosses me over her head. I land hard on my back and I clench my jaw. I get up and watch as Sif slowly makes her way over to me. I crack my knuckles and jump up and down a couple of times before making my final run towards Sif.

This time, instead of immediately throwing an attack, I slide under her legs and as she turns around, I flip over her. She turns around once again and I do a round house kick, sending her flying into the ground.

She groans in pain from the unexpected face plant and rolls onto her back. I walk over to her and stand above her. "You good?"

She nods and I offer her a hand which she takes. "You are very fast and you do the unexpected"

I smile. "It's probably all the training I've been put through"

She looks like she is deep in thought before she smirks again. "How good are you with weapons?"

I was about to say something when a voice interrupts us. "I believe that is enough for today. The lady Amber would need time to prepare for tonight's ball"

Sif's eyes widen before she bows and I turn around to see Loki standing next to a woman. "You are very skilled my child"

"Uh thank you… uh?" I look up at the woman questionably.

"Call me Frigga, my child" She smiles warmly. "So you are the girl Loki cannot stop talking about."

My eyes widen. This is Loki's mum?! "Oh uh sorry my queen, uh Frigga I mean… Loki talks about me?"

I internally face palm at my sudden nervousness. I'm such an idiot. "Oh yes he does. I can see why he has fallen in love with you. You are a very beautiful girl that is not only strong but kind and caring"

"Oh uh thank you my queen… I mean Frigga" I awkwardly bow and she laughs lightly.

She lowers her voice slightly. "If Loki ever breaks your heart I will make sure he gets what he deserves"

I laugh, knowing Loki heard it by the look on his face. "Mother"

"Go on now kids. Go prepare for tonight's welcoming ball" Frigga smiles and ushers us all inside the palace.

Loki, Sif and I head through the hallway and Sif stops at her room. "Still up for the challenge later?"

"I'm always up for a challenge" I smirk and she grins. "See you later"

She goes into her room and Loki chuckles. "Always looking for challenges"

"What can I say? I never back down from a challenge" I smile, leaning into his side.

"I just suddenly realised something" I call out to Loki from the bed. His head peeks out from the bathroom and he raises his eyebrows.

"There's a ball happening tonight" He nods his head slowly, not knowing where I'm going with this.

"Which means I have to wear a dress" He looks confused but nods along anyway.

"I-"

"My mother or even Sif would have dresses for you" He cuts me off, thinking he answered my question.

I face palmed and shook my head. "I was going to say that I hate wearing dresses"

His eyes widened and he finally steps out of the bathroom, with a green towel wrapped around his waist. I raise my eyebrows at him and he shrugs.

"But-"

"I don't wanna wear a dress" I glare at him, well tried to anyway. Someone please get this guy some clothes.

"Amber you have to" He crosses his arms. Yeah that's not helping. Anyone? Please give this man clothes.

"Do you want me to list out why?" I roll my eyes, not expecting him to say anything.

"Yes" I face palm. This guy is not only annoying and stubborn but also distracting. PLEASE GIVE HIM CLOTHES! ANYONE!

"One. I hate them. Two. They're annoying. Three. I have a tail. Four. It's ew. Five. Gross" I cross my arms and frown like a child.

"Not good enough" He smirks, walking up to the bed and looking down at me. "Once I get dressed, we are going to visit mother to get some dresses"

My eyes widen. Not only because we are getting dresses but also because Loki is very close to me, half naked. I look away and turn my back to him, crossing my arms. He sighs and goes over to the wardrobe. Finally he's putting clothes on.

"Ew. No. Gross. No. Ewww. Please no." I groan for the thousandth time within the hour of being shown multiple dresses that look almost the exact same in different shades of colours.

"Seriously Amber. They all look fine, you look beautiful in all of them" Loki sighs, massaging his temples.

"I'd like to see you trying on all of these dresses that look the same" I glare at him and he rolls his eyes.

"I believe the reason why you don't like these is because they are not what you are used to. Am I right?" Frigga says from her closet.

"Uh I guess. But I never wore any dresses"

"But the dresses you have seen others wear is different compared to ours. Correct?"

"Yeah" I nod, even though she can't see me.

Suddenly out of nowhere, a lady comes in with a measuring tape and pieces of cloth. I look at her in confusion as she takes my measurements. She shows Frigga and Loki the different colours of cloth she had, without showing me. The three of them were talking but I couldn't hear a thing. I growl slightly as I realised Loki put a spell on me so I can't hear anything.

The lady smiles and speed walks out of here. Loki smirks and Frigga smiles. I frown and cross my arms. "What did you do?"

"You will see soon my child" Frigga ushers us out. "I will call you when it's time"

The sun slowly sets in Asgard and I sit on a rock as a wolf, watching. My ears perk up when I hear footsteps coming close and I turn around to see Loki in a causal Asgardian attire. He comes and sits himself down next to me, running his hand through my fur. I transform back and lean into his side.

"Mother told me that your dress is almost ready but you should go take a bath" I look up at Loki and roll my eyes.

"I still don't know why I have to go and wear a dress"

"Come on. It's not every day Asgard has a ball and it would be fun" Loki grins suddenly.

"Wow I never thought you liked parties and whatever" I chuckle at his excitement.

"I never did. But I do now because you're coming" He kisses my forehead and smiles.

"Mmhm. Sure, I still don't wanna go" I cross my arms and stare out at the city.

"Well you're going whether you like it or not" He stands up, pulling me with him and begins dragging me back to our room.

"Loki!" I whine. "I don't wanna goooo!"

He only smirks and continues to pull me towards our room and I give up, rolling my eyes and let him pull me. Reaching our room, he opens the door and shuts it. He stands right in front of it and crosses his arms.

"You're not to leave this room until you take a bath and change into the dress that is in the box on the bed" He smirks, raising his eyebrows.

"What!" I look at the box on the bed and then back to Loki. "Fine!"

I drag my feet towards the box and pick it up. I glare at Loki as I make my way towards the bathroom and he only chuckles. I roll my eyes again and turn around just in time to stop myself before walking into the wall instead of through the door.

Loki laughs as I glare at him once again and shut the door. "I will be waiting here. And I better hear the water running soon"

I sigh and run the water, watching the water fill the bath. I look at the shelf of soaps and I frown. What the heck? Why are there so many and how do I know which is which? Why aren't these labelled or something?

"Hey Loki?" I call.

"Yeah?" he responds.

"Which soap is which?" I pick up a jar and look inside, sniffing it.

"Top shelf is for hair, second shelf is for body and lower shelf is for bath scents and stuff" I thank him and turn off the running water.

I pick the soaps I want and sit in the bath, thinking about my life now. How I was once a weapon for HYDRA and now I'm a part of the Avengers. I'm also sitting in a bath of another planet like where do you hear that every day. On top of that, I actually found a family. People who actually love me and don't use me as a weapon.

A knock on the door makes me jump and I realise I fell asleep in the bath. "Amber? You didn't drown did you?"

"Sorry I fell asleep" I laugh, getting out of the cold water.

"Oh ok hurry up, I need to wash up before getting changed" I grab a towel and dry myself off, staring at the box. I wrap the towel around me and untie the ribbon of the box. I lift the lid off and stare at the dress. Definitely not something I was expecting to see at all for sure. For once I actually liked this dress. But then I roll my eyes at the colour. Of course Loki had it match his clothes.

I take the box out into the bedroom so Loki is able to take a bath. I see him reading on the bed and he looks up at me with raised eyebrows. "Go take a bath and I'll change out here"

He puts his book away and gets up. He walks up to me and gives me a quick kiss before walking into the bathroom. Once I hear the water running, I pull out the dress and stand in front of the mirror with it over me. This actually looks like it could fit me. Then I suddenly think about my tail and check the dress. To my surprise, there is actually a hole in the back just for my tail and I laugh.

This is great. I put on the dress and put my tail through. I check the mirror if it reveals anything else but surprisingly it doesn't, only showing my tail swinging around. I smile, loving this already. I then walk over to the box and remove the paper layer to reveal a pair of high heels and three small boxes.

"Oh heck no!"

"What?" I hear Loki from the bathroom.

"Nothing!"

"Why do I have to wear frikin heels" I grumble, picking them up and staring at them. "I'd rather not wear these killer things"

"I've seen enough of those models fall on runways and look like they're breaking their ankles" I put the shoes back. "Yeah nah, not wearing these"

"Who are you talking to?" I hear Loki again.

"Myself!" I hear him laugh and I roll my eyes.

I take one of the small boxes and open it to see a beaded bracelet that is golden. I wrap it around my wrist and smile at it, liking it a lot already. I hear the bath drain, meaning Loki is coming out soon so I put down the box and pick up the next one. I open it and inside were two necklaces that were wolf heads but together made a heart. There was a small note next to it and I pick it up.

For Amber and Loki,

Just a small gift for you both

Thor

I smile and turn around to knock on the bathroom when I see Loki once again half naked with only a towel around his waist. He looks like he's staring at me as I raise my eyebrows but he doesn't notice.

"Loki" I say, he suddenly blinks and looks at me.

"Yeah?" He asks quite dumbly.

I laugh and walk up to him, handing him the note. "This is from your brother"

He reads it and chuckles, rolling his eyes. He reaches for the box and takes a necklace out of the box. He gestures for me to turn around and he moves my hair out of the way, putting the necklace around my neck.

I turn back around and he smiles as I put his around his neck. However my arms remain around his neck and pull him in for a kiss. He wraps his arms around my waist and pulls me closer. I break the kiss and smile, looking down and forgetting he only has a towel and I move away.

"You should put some clothes on" I raise an eyebrow. He tilts his head and then suddenly realises that he only has a towel on.

"Oh right yeah. Sure. By the way you should wear dresses more often" He smirks, walking over to find his clothes.

"Yeah sure never happening." I roll my eyes, walking into the bathroom to find a brush. "You know what else is not going to happen?"

He turns around with half of his shirt on. "What?"

"Me wearing heels. I refuse to wear them" I point to the box on the bed and he raises his eyebrows.

"Why not?"

"Because I'm going to be dying in those heels" I argue.

"But it shouldn't be that bad right?" I roll my eyes.

"I'd like to see you wear heels for a night. Then you can tell me if it's bad or not" I smirk, crossing my arms.

"I'm good" He laughs, and I now imagine him walking through the halls in heels. "Just wear them for tonight and then you never have to wear them again. Please?"

"You're going to have to do better than a please" I say, brushing the tangles out of my hair.

"I'll give you a kiss"

"Nope"

"But I thought you liked kissing me" I see him pout in the mirror and I laugh.

"Mmhm. But not what I was thinking" He raises his eyebrows.

"What do you want then" He whines like a child.

"Well, I have always wanted a pet" I smirk and see his eyes light up.

"A cat?" He grins and I face palm.

"Loki I'm a wolf. Cats and dogs don't really go well together" Loki frowns.

"But I've seen videos of cats and dogs living fine with each other"

"Well not me" I then freeze and grin. "You watch cat and dog videos?"

His eyes become big and his mouth opens and closes. "Uh no. I've just seen uh someone watch them."

I laugh. "Sure Loki. Sure."

"So if I get you a pet, will you wear these heels tonight" I see him pick them up and wave them at me.

"Fine I will, but you promise right?"

"Yeah but you also gotta give me a kiss" He smirks. I roll my eyes and walk up to him, giving him a quick kiss before brushing my hair again. "Come on. That's not fair"

"You asked for a kiss, so I gave you one" I laugh as he pouts again like a child.

I go to tie my hair in a ponytail when Loki stops me. "Leave your hair down. It looks better like that"

"But it's going to get in the way" I say, trying to brush my hair out of my face.

"Then I'll get someone to fix it for you" Before I say anything, he disappears and reappears with Sif.

"That was fast" I raise an eyebrow. "Hey Sif"

She was already dressed in a really nice dress that was different since I was used to seeing her in armour and not an actual dress.

"Hi Amber. I've been told that your hair needs some fixing" She smiles and I nod. "Then let me fix it for you"

Around half an hour later, my hair was pulled back away from my face and actually looks really nice. "Thanks Sif, I love it"

"Your welcome. I'll see you later tonight" She pats my shoulder before leaving the room. I get up from the chair and walk over to the box where my heels lay. I sigh before sitting on the bed and put each of them on. I mean, they're really nice but I just can't walk in them.

Once they're on, I slowly stand up. Finding my balance I take a few steps and surprisingly, I am able to walk quite normally in these.

"See, your fine in heels." Loki says, coming up to me. The weirdest thing about wearing heels is that I'm almost as tall as him now, no longer him being a head taller. "I however am not fine with you almost reaching my height"

"Why not?" I smirk, wrapping my arms around his neck.

"Because I'd rather have a small and cute pup rather than a tall one" He grins, wrapping his arms around my waist and pulling me closer.

"I kind of like being tall for once though" I say, our foreheads touching.

"Well I'm glad it's only for tonight, and then you can be my small pup again" As we are about to kiss, the door slams open and both Loki and I jump at the sudden intrusion.

"BROTHER I MUST SPEAK WITH YOU!" Thor walks in, all dressed up nicely and grabs Loki by the arm and drags him out.

I stood there, confused as to what just happened and where Thor was taking Loki. I take a quick look at myself in the mirror one last time before heading out into the halls. I look around for any signs of Thor or Loki but sadly I didn't. I keep walking until I literally bump into my sister.

"Jane!" I say in surprise as I regain my balance.

"Hey Amber. Have you seen Thor?" She asks, fixing up her dress.

"I was just looking for them. He came into our room and took Loki away and disappeared"

"Let's go to the hall then and find Frigga. The boys might be around there" Jane suggests.

We make our way down the hallways and pass many servants who are rushing around. Sif almost bumps into us as she quickly moves out of the way of a servant.

"Sorry!" She apologises. "Have you seen the Warriors Three?"

"Nah, have you seen Thor or Loki?" I ask her. She shakes her head.

"I think all of the guys are having some sort of meeting" Jane adds. Sif and I agree and we all go find Frigga.

We eventually find Frigga in the throne room with Odin, ordering the servants around who are preparing for the ball. Both were already dressed and doing last minute preparations when we stopped at the foot of the throne. Both turn to us and Frigga looks down at us with warm loving eyes while Odin looks as if he's about to burn us to the ground. However his gaze changes when he sees it's us.

"Do you need anything my children?" Frigga asks, leaving Odin's side and walking down to us.

"Just wondering if you've seen Thor and Loki anywhere? Or the Warriors?" I ask.

"Oh yes. Last I saw them was in the library" Odin answers. "But I suggest you should just go to the ball room and they shall all meet you there"

I shrug and look to Jane and Sif. Sif bows. "Thank you Allfather"

We start walking once again to the ball room where there are a few people sitting at tables, talking and drinking. We all go to the royal table and find our seats. I make sure there is a seat for Loki, Thor and the Warriors Three.

As time passes, we continue to talk about random girl things and more and more people gather at tables. Suddenly the whole room goes silent and the two main large doors open. Through the doors come Odin and Frigga by his side. As they make their way towards our table, I see Thor and Loki close behind with the Warriors Three in tail.

Loki comes up to me and gives me a small kiss before taking a seat next to me. Thor takes a seat on my other side. Odin clears his throat before speaking.

"I would like to welcome back my sons from Midgard and their guests. We shall now celebrate their returns!"

The hall becomes loud once again with music and chatter. I turn to Loki and raise my eyebrows. "So where have you been?"

"I was with Thor in the library with the Warriors" He takes a sip of wine.

"What was so important that Thor had to literally drag you out?" I pick some food and dump it on my plate.

"You'll find out soon" Loki smirks before sipping more wine.

"What's that supposed to mean?" I whine, crossing my arms.

"It means be patient pup" Loki chuckles at my reaction. I roll my eyes and eat my food.

The night carries on with Jane and I remaining silent most of the time while Thor and Volstag compete on who can eat the most, Fandral trying to find women to talk to, and Hogun quietly talking to Sif. Loki would be observing the other people sitting around, occasionally talking to me or Frigga.

I look next to me to see Thor still stuffing his face with as much food as he could, same as Volstag sitting opposite him.

"Does this always happen?" I ask Loki as I push around the leftover food on my plate.

"Unfortunately this is a regular competition" Loki sighs, leaning back into his chair and looking at Thor. I lean onto Loki's shoulder and watch the competition continue.

After a while, Thor gives up and Volstag happily shouts in victory. Thor takes a big drink of his beer and slams it down on the table. The table shakes, making me jump and pay attention to what's happening.

Thor gets up and leaves suddenly, making not only me but Jane confused too. I look at Jane and she shrugs, before turning to Sif and talking. I look to Loki and he shrugs too so I just sit back and drink.

He then returns and sits down silently. He then goes to stand up but sits down again. I frown in confusion as to why he's acting strangely and I tap him on the shoulder.

"You okay?" I ask as he turns to me with a nervous looking smile.

"Oh yeah, I am quite alright" He tries to make himself comfortable and takes his beer. He finishes it in one go and I raise my eyebrows.

"Sure" I say, staring at the empty beer cup. Thor's grip tightens on the cup before he slams it down on the table. He turns to Loki and nods and I become very confused.

Loki clears his throat before standing up and grabbing his glass. He taps his glass a few times to grab everyone's attention and the whole room goes silent.

"Thank you" Loki says before nodding to Thor. Thor takes a deep breath and stands up. He holds a hand out to Jane and she looks at it questionably before slowly taking his hand, letting him pull her up.

They walk in front of the table, in front of everyone and Thor gets down on one knee. I frown in confusion, wanting to know what's happening until it suddenly hits me. No. Frikin. Way. My jaw suddenly drops as Thor speaks. I don't listen to most of his speech because of my brain trying to absorb this sudden news. I do however hear the last bit.

"Jane Foster, will you marry me?" Thor brings out a small box and opens it to show a ring which I'm unable to see due to Jane being in the way.

The room is silent in anticipation and I lean forward a little more in my chair. I almost fall off but quickly regain my balance. What felt like forever, Jane finally responds after wiping tears from her face. "Yes, yes I will"

The whole room cheers in joy and Thor picks up Jane and spins her around. I smile and look to Loki.

"Why wasn't I told this beforehand?" I slap his arm.

"Because you can't really keep secrets" Loki chuckles.

"WHAT! YEAH I CA-" I frown and suddenly think. "I can most of the time"

He rolls his eyes and sips more of his wine. Music starts playing again and Thor and Jane are the first to dance. Other couples join in and I watch as they all move gracefully around the dancefloor.

Loki stands up and looks down at me, holding out his hand. My eyes widen and I shake my head. "Why not?"

"I can't dance" I shake my head once again.

"Sure you can. It's pretty easy" He holds out his hand once again and looks at me, waiting.

"Fine, but you have been warned" I sigh, taking his hand and letting him pull me towards the dance floor.

He stands in front of me and leads the dance. I awkwardly waddle around, trying to follow his footsteps. "Pup, stop looking down. It doesn't help"

"Well sorry I'm looking out for your feet" I say sarcastically, looking up at him.

"Just relax and just move with me" He pulls me slightly closer.

After a while, I do get the hang of it slightly. However my heels were starting to kill me. I forgot I was wearing heels until now. I was also getting very tired from the travelling and fighting today. I lean into Loki and rest my head on his chest. He looks down at me and kisses the top of my head.

"You okay pup?" He whispers.

"I'm feeling tired" I say sleepily.

"Do you want to go to bed?" He questions, looking at me.

"Mmhm" I hum, trying to keep my eyes open.

"Come on then, let's get you to bed pup" Loki leads me away from the party.

We walk silently through the hallways to our room. My heels taken off long ago and I throw them somewhere in the room and I fall onto the bed.

"You have to get changed you know. You don't want to ruin that dress" I hear Loki say from somewhere in the room.

"I don't wanna" I mumble into the pillows.

I feel myself getting shaken by Loki and I grab the closest pillow and hit him with it. I hear him sigh and move off. A few moments later, I feel something get tossed onto me and I roll over to see a large t-shirt.

I groan and sit up as Loki walks into the bathroom. When he shuts the door, I take off all my jewellery and my dress and put on the large t-shirt. I toss everything onto the ground and get under the blankets.

I make myself comfortable and my eyes begin to close. I feel the bed sink under Loki's weight and I feel him lay next to me, pulling me into his arms. I turn around and face him, attempting to open my eyes just enough to see him.

"I forgot to tell you how beautiful you looked in your dress" he whispers. I smile and move closer to him. "How do you feel about Jane being married?"

"I'm happy for them" I mumble into his chest.

"I love you pup. You know that right?" I lift my head up and sleepily nod and smile.

"I love you too Loki" He smiles and leans down to kiss me.

We break the kiss after a while and I snuggle into his chest, falling into a deep sleep.
