"Now that everything is set up, each one of you will need to go and bring the flag of the kingdom you picked, the first one back is the winner, on your mark, get set, GO"
All four of them start racing with Uttara in the lead, Abhimanyu behind her, and Lakshman head to head with Uttar
Uttara and Abhimanyu are the first ones at the flags but Abhimanyu stops
"Aren't you going to start?" Uttara asks him also stopping
"You go"
"You better not be trying to let me win"
"Trust me Devi, this time I will win" Abhimanyu says
Uttara takes Indraprasth's flag and starts going back, soon Uttar catches up to her and so does Abhimanyu, everyone saw them racing head to head but Uttara crossed the finish line first with the flag of Indraprasth with the brightest smile on her face
"And our winner is Uttara" Krishna annouces
"Where is my son?" Druyodhan asks sternly
"Don't worry Tatshree, he must be on his way back" Uttara says
Uttara then pulls Abhimanyu to the side
"What did you do?" She asks him
"I didn't do anything"
"Arya"
"Devi"
Uttara turns to leave but Abhimanyu pulls her hand and she collides with Abhimanyu, her hands around his neck and his around her waist
"I may or may not have kicked him off of his horse"
"And..."
"And his leg may have gotten stuck in the saddle"
"You are unbelivable" Uttara says
"Me? You are the one ready to start a war with everyone"
"Me?"
"Yeah, then what happened yesterday"
"A lot, that's why I want to promise something"
"Promise?" Abhimanyu says interested and concerned at the same time
"I promise not to fight with you for the next 6 months"
"Only 6 months?"
"Who knows what will happen after that? I'll fight, you'll fight, we might not even live"
"I promise the same, and-"
"Save it for tomorrow, and we have to go back"
"Okay, but give me a kiss first"
"Arya" Uttara says slightly shocked
"What?"
"No"
"Please" Abhimanyu says making puppy dog eyes
"Fine"
She gets close to him "Where is your princess? She did this to my son and now she's hiding?" They hear Duyodhan's voice
Uttara gives Abhimanyu a quick kiss on the lips and rushes to see everyone looking at her, Duryodhan yelling, and Lakshman unconsious with bruises
"You" Duryodhan point to Uttara "You did this to my son" He says as he comes closer "I will not spare you" He continues as he comes even closer but Uttara's eyes remain fearless which doesn't go unoticed by Arjun
Abhimanyu comes in the middle of them "What happened Taatshree?"
"This brat tried to kill my son" He roars
"It's Rajkumari Uttara, she isn't a brat, and she didn't try to kill your son, if she did he would be dead" Abhimanyu says but realizes he gave a hint about Uttara being able to fight as Uttara gives him a death glare
"Then who did? How can he fall off his horse by himself?"
"It's okay Taatshree, when anyone rides a horse they are not trained with or the horse doesn't want to race people fall from their horses" Uttara says
"You" Duryodhan comes closer raising his hand on Uttara
Uttar opens his mouth to speak but Krishna closes it and signals him to be quiet
Abhimanyu stops him "Yuvaraj Duryodhan, Rajkumari Uttara didn't do anything, and if you'll excuse us, we would like to spend today enjoying ourselves instead of arguing like children"
After a while all the Pandava Princess make Uttara and Abhimanyu play a game
"What is this Pragati? Is it really necessary?"
"Come on Bhabhishree, just one game, it's just questions"
Uttara looks at Abhimanyu and he shrugs "What's the worst that could happen, let's play"
"Okay everyone gather around, now we are going to find out the story of Uttara and Abhimanyu" Pragathi announces
"Story of Uttara and Abhimanyu?" Uttara and Abhimanyu ask together
Just then a gaurd comes "Rajkumar Bhanu has arrived in Matsya desh"
Suthanu immediatly spikes up
"Jiji, you seem excited" Uttara teases
"No, no nothing like that"
Soon Bhanu also comes and they start playing the game
"So anyone can ask Bhrata and Bhabhi questions and they need to answer truthfully, understand?" Pragati says but Bhanu and Suthanu aren't paying attention and are just lost in each other's eyes
"Bhabhi what was your first thought of Bhrata?" Pranita asked
"When I heard of him or saw him, because I heard about him first"
"Heard about him"
"I want to marry a guy like him"
"Then what about when you first saw him?" Samyukthana asks
"I will marry no one except him" Uttara says truthfully making Abhimanyu choke on the ladoo he was eating
"Okay Bhrata your turn, who was the first girl you loved?" Sumitra asked
"Uttara"
"Wrong, it was that girl we saw here" Bhanu pauses and looks around "Yes, this is the place, She lives in Matsya desh, you used to drag me every other day to see her" Bhanu said
"What girl? Who is she?" Uttara tries to ask calmly
"Okay let me tell you, when Abhimanyu was about 13 or 14 we were going to Panchal alone to see the Upapandavas like we do every week but Pitashree used to take him but he was busy that day and I was making sure he didn't get lost, and we accidently came to Matsya desh there he saw this girl and stopped, the girl was dancing right there" Bhanu said pointing to the Yamuna river shore
"She was dancing very beautifully, she was dancing with 2 or 3 other people and they all had dandiya sticks, and Abhimanyu fell for her head over heels for this one girl, one day while she was dancing she jumped and her anklet came loose and fell and she didn't notice, he went to go get it after she left and he kept it with him, and the whole time he didn't know anything about her or even how she looked like, but ever since then he kept saying that if he marries anyone, it may or may not be her, she needs to know dance"
Arjun, who was also sitting with the kids, got the answer to the question he asked Uttara multiple times, Uttara did learn dance for Abhimanyu, he felt a little bad for her now and wished Bhanu didn't tell this story when Uttara was around
"No, you are wrong I don't have that anklet with me"
"Really? Then why did I find this in your room?" Bhanu says as he brings out an anklet from his pocket
Uttara looks at the anklet with tears forming in her eyes, she knew exactly who the anklet belonged to
