"Where are you?"
"In my room."
"There is someone at the door for you."
"Okay, I'll be right down."
Crystal knew that she had to listen to her mom, but she didn't feel like getting out of bed.
"Who is it mom?" she yelled.
"There is a prince outside!"
"Really?"
"Yeah, he has a crown and everything!"
"Mom, I don't want to go out there."
"Why?"
"Im not ready!"
"Just get down here."
"Fine."
Crystal sighed. She had planned on staying in bed all day, but she knew that a prine from a neighboring town was looking for a bride.
"Crystal, let's go!"
She ran down the steps, almost tripping over her dress. She got to the door and saw who was standing there.
"Hi, I'm Crystal."
He took her hand and kissed it. She felt herself blushing.
"Hello my princess, my name is Justin."
"Are you the prince from Cinnamon who is looking for a princess to marry?"
"Why yes I am. Are you interested?"
"I don't know…."
Crystal looked back to her mom in the kitchen.
"I'd have to know you better first."
She invied Justin in and they talked for a few hours. She liked him a lot afterwards. He left, but not before kissing her hand again. She went to tell her mom.
"Awwh, what a gentleman. I'm so happy for you." she said.
"You are?"
"Yeah, why wouldn't I be?"
Crystal couldn't think of a reason.
"I don't know, but he asked me on a date! It's at 7:00 tonight."
"Well it's already 5:30! Go get ready!
Crystal went upstairs to prepare for her date with Justin. She sat on the couch at exactly 7:00 and waited. Her mom was watching out the window.
"Mom, is he out there yet?"
"No, not yet."
The minutes ticked by. When Crystal looked at the clock, it was 7:45.
"Anything yet?"
"No," her mom sighed, "nothing."
Crystal felt sad as she wondered if he was leading her on.
"Where could he be?"
