Okay. I figured why not juggle two stories at a time? So I decided to start Prince Wilfred's story with Phoenix, because I had a request to do his first. Which didn't happen, because "Phoenix and the Beast" is out; which is Prince Keith's story. So I hope you guys enjoy this one! Disclaimor: I don't own Be My Princess, wish I did.;D Please R&R!

When I turned around, I saw Prince Wilfred. Really? I didn't think he liked or noticed me. I was so surprised, I remained quiet too long.

"Perhaps I'm not your type?" He face and voice were expressionless.

"No! I'm honored! But I- I can't ..." I looked down. This is embarrassing. How am I to tell him I can't dance?

"It's alright." He spoke softly, gave my shoulder a quick squeeze before removing his hand, and he gave me a reassuring smile, as if he knew what I was trying to say. He then offered his hand, "I'll lead you." I felt calm looking into his bright blue eyes.

I bit my lip, and put my hand in his. "Okay." I gave him a small smile.

He lead me out onto the dance floor. I looked around the room. I saw many of the women staring daggers at me. Then I saw Uncle with a reassuring smile on his face as he nodded at me. I looked back at Prince Wilfred.

The music starts, and he bows to me as I curtsey in return. Then he envelops me in his arms. What's this feeling? Why is my heart pounding so hard? I wonder if he can hear it?

I continued eye contact. He lead me through the dance, and I could tell I wasn't doing too bad. "Yes, that's right. Just follow my lead." Prince Wilfred whispered.

Soon the song comes to an end, and Prince Wilfred releases me without a word. Still holding my hand, he bows gracefully. As he did this, women surrounded us with their happy shrieks that he was now free to dance with one of them.

Wow. He's really popular. I was thinking this as I looked at him.

Prince Wilfred gave a small laugh and asked, "What is it?" His eyes had a light about them that they were missing before.

I shake my head. "No, it's nothing, Your Highness. Thank you for the dance. I really enjoyed it." I gave him a smile and bow.

Prince Wilfred laughed. "No, thank you, Miss Phoenix." Prince Wilfred let go of my hand then.

I could still feel the warmth from his hand. He then left the dance floor, to the surrounding women's disappointment. Did he really only want to dance with me? Another weird feeling washed over me. He's so withdrawn, if only he would open up more.

I decided that I was ready to go home now. I walked over to the twins to let them know I was going to go get changed. Once I was in my room, a maid came in and helped me remove my dress. I let the maid pack my things and take them to the car. As I walked out in my jeans t-shirt, jacket, scarf, and boots I felt under-dressed inside Castle Noble Micheal. It was such a classy place. Oh, well. Back to the real world.

I started down the hall in search of Uncle and again came across Prince Wilfred. "Good evening, Your Highness. I'm glad I got to see you again, before I leave." I gave a small bow and smiled at him.

Prince Wilfred gave a small laugh. "You are full of surprises, Miss Phoenix. I think I prefer this look, though. It's more you." He said with a kind smile.

"Thank you, Your Highness." I say somewhat surprised. I prefer this look too.

"What are you doing?" Prince Wilfred asked.

I laugh as I recall that we are right back to the same circumstances of our meeting. "I'm looking for my uncle again. Then we will being heading to Charles so I can return to my apartment."

"Oh? It seems we meet under the same circumstances again." Prince Wilfred laughed with me, after speaking my exact thoughts. He took my hand and brought it to his lips. "Then this is good-bye for now. I hope to see you again, Miss Phoenix."

"Yes. I hope to see you again, too." I smile as Prince Wilfred nods and walks away. He's nice. I really dowant to see himagain soon. And get to know him better.

I was still standing out in the hallway, in the same spot thinking, when Uncle and the twins came.

"Phoenix! There you are! What have you been up to?" Uncle asked as he came up to me, giving me a hug.

"I was looking for you. As I was doing that, I happened to see Prince Wilfred again." I say, and I can feel a small smile form on my face.

"Really? Do you like him, Phoenix?" Uncle arched his brows and sounded like a girl friend asking me that question.

I couldn't hold back the laughter from that thought. "Uncle?!" I playfully swatted his arm, and he started laughing with me.

"Phoenix has a crush! Phoenix has a crush!" Uncle sang like a little kid.

"Gees, Uncle! I can't take you anywhere." I act exasperated, start to storm down the hallway, and wait when I hit the end, because I don't remember the way to the front entrance where the car is waiting.

"Oh! Now don't get upset! I'm only teasing." Uncle calls as he jogs after me.

"I don't appreciate it." I act upset, tilting my head up, my nose in the air.

"Phoenix." Uncle sees right through me. "You are a good actress, but I'm getting better at telling." He smiles, and offers me his arm, to escort me to our car.

We joke until we get outside, where we are swarmed by reporters.

"King Erik! Who is this young woman?"

"Surely she isn't your girlfriend?!"

"Or is she an illegitimate daughter?!"

All the reporters were spouting questions left and right. What?!Please tell me they're joking.

"Please make some space for the king." Tarmo said as he and Onni did crowd control.

"You'll get the whole story, what little there is to tell, tomorrow. So please, make room." Onni promised, making them leave us alone.

"Your girlfriend?! UH!" I said once we were in the car. I shuddered at the thought.

"Really, Phoenix? Tell me how you really feel. I didn't realize it would be such a bad idea." Uncle scoffed sarcastically.

I smacked his arm again. "Uncle! You know its because I see you as my Uncle and you're way too old for me. You're twice my age!" I tell him.

Uncle ruffled my hair. "I was kidding, and not quite twice."

"You're 40! That's close enough to being twice." I laughed.

"Don't say my age out loud." Uncle covered my mouth with his hand, acting worried.

I pried his hand off my mouth, "We're in a car, with no one who cares." I say as I look at Onni and Tarmo in the front seats.

"Phoenix, you really know how to wound a man." Uncle played up the wounded man part.

I shook my head and looked out the window.

~)~~~~

"How much longer to my appartment?" I ask the twins.

"We're almost there, my lady." Tarmo said with a smile.

They parked a few blocks away from my apartment. Tarmo opened the door, and let Uncle and I get out.

"I'm excited to see where you live, Phoenix." Uncle said as we walked to my apartment.

That's when I heard the firetrucks and screams of people. What's going on? I hurried and rounded the corner and couldn't believe my eyes. That's MYapartment!

"Phoenix! What is it?!" Uncle called running after me.

"That's my..." I couldn't believe my eyes, and looked at the ground as tears formed. Uncle stood by me with his arm around my shoulders.

The firemen were at work putting out the fire. It was obvious that it was too late to save the apartment. Once the flames were dowsed, the building collapsed and so did I.

"Phoenix!" Uncle caught me in his arms.

~)~~~~

I woke up to the sound of someone knocking on my door. Wait. Last night...my apartment...Where am I? I opened my eyes and looked around me. It was a beautiful room, though simple, it was still elegant.

The door opened and a man walked in with a tea set on a cart. "Good morning, Miss Adele." A man dressed in a suit, with bluish-black hair and hard navy blue eyes looked at me. Is he upset with me? I don't remember meeting him.

"Umm... I don't remember your name." I say looking down at the sheets of my bed.

"My name is Claude, I am the butler here at Chateau Philip." He gave a quick bow and began pouring me a cup of tea. Tea? Uh. Tea is not my favorite drink. Claude hands me the glass.

"So I'm in Philip Kingdom? Thank you." I ask as I accept the cup, trying to remember last night.

~)~~~~

After I regained consciousness, I realized I was in our limo. I was barely awake. I could hear Uncle talking on his phone with someone. He was talking about finding me a place to stay.

"Did you see them tonight? ... They looked good together, didn't they? ... I feel all they need is time together. ... With this situation it would be perfect to have her stay there. … So you agree with my idea and will help? You know they would never say no to you. … Then it's a plan! … Yes, I'm excited to see how this plays out also. Thank you again. Goodnight." He hung up the phone. I closed my eyes and pretended to be sleeping. I felt a hand pat my head. "My poor little Phoenix. Your home is only ashes now, but you will have a new home to regroup at. There you will rise and come back from this traumatic incident stronger and better." Uncle continued to stroke my head. It was soothing and I was falling back to sleep. "Boys, we're going to Philip!" Uncle called to the brothers. My last thought before I went back to my dreams was: What is Uncle up to?

~)~~~~

I don't remember anything after that. I don't remember coming to Philip, getting to the chateau last night, or getting to my room and into my bed. How did I get here?

"I don't really remember how I got here, to my room, last night." I looked to him questioningly.

"I didn't carry you, if that is what you are implying. King Erik carried your sleeping body to your room, because he didn't want to wake you. He mentioned needing to cut some of the calories from your meals, though." Claude said honestly.

"Uh! How dare he!" I was in complete shock and embarrassment. If Uncle were here...

"He just meant you were heavy." Claude replied.

"Well, he isn't as fit as he once was." I say, crossing my arms and looking out towards the window.

"It's improper to speak of your elders in that way, and a king no less!" Claude chastised me.

My eyes widened in realization. That's right! Philip's all about manners and politeness! What was Uncle thinking? Sending MEhere, of all places!

Phoenix has found herself in quite the situation, don't you think? hahahaha. Hope you, my readers, are enjoying Phoenix and her stories as much as I am. I don't exactly have everything planned out, I just go with whatever direction the story decides to take. While loosely following the BMP storyline of events. I'd love to hear your comments, any ideas of what you would like to see happen in the story, or anything! Until next time! :)
