I'm sorry if I got some stuff wrong. Note the dialogue between Amy, Mels, and Rory is actual dialogue from Let's Kill Hitler.
"Read it to me one more time, Mommy." a 6 year old Rory said.
"Okay fine but just one more time." She said firmly
Rory nodded eagerly.
"Okay once upon a time..." His mom said starting to read a fairy tale. Which one it didn't matter Rory loved them all. Even though he would never admit it especially to the kids at school. They would all make fun of him and call him a baby and a girl. Every night, his mom would read him at least one maybe two if he was good. He loved everything about the fairy tales the sword fights, the dragons, but most importantly the princess.
Every night he dreamed about something different like a dragon or an evil witch but there was one thing that stayed the same. He had to rescue a princess sure the girl changed every night. Sometimes she looked Princess Jasmine other times she looked more like Cinderella. That all changed when he saw a girl with flaming red hair, and skin as a white as Snow White's. She must be new. He would remember seeing a girl like her aroun. He was positive that she must be a princess but what she be doing here? Shouldn't she be at the castle trying on gowns or something like that. That's all the princess seemed to be doing in his Story Books. Maybe she's like sleeping beauty and is on the run from an evil witch. Yes, that must be it.
"Hi, I'm Rory." He said as he nervously walked up to her.
"I'm Amy." She said in a thick Scottish accent.
"Do you want to play together?" He asked her nervously.
"Sure." She said
That night when he dreamt the princess that he was rescuing seemed to look her just like her.
They played together every day when they were at school. Soon they were going over to each other houses every day it seemed and one day Amy said "Let's be best friends."
Rory just nodded and said "Okay." Because what could be better than being best friends with a princess. Except maybe of course dating but Alec (his only friend besides Amy) had told him that girls have cooties and if he dates one of them or kisses one of them, he'll get sick.
He doesn't think that he could sick if he kissed her and none of his fairy tale books that he reads in secret while pretending that he strictly reads batman comics. Though Alec is the smartest person in the school so if he says that's what true then it must be. So he didn't kiss her even though he wanted to so desperately.
He's the first one that knows about the Raggedy man. He dressed up like him when she plays Raggedy man and Amy. He's the only one who doesn't tease her about them and unknown to her whenever someone says that she's isnane when he's not there. He stands up her.
They continue being best friends until middle school then a girl comes along named Mels and suddenly he's a third wheel. He starts hanging out with Alec more.
"You have still have a crush on her don't you?" Alec asked one day while they were eating lunch together.
"Who?"
"Amy." He said "You've liked her since god knows when."
"You know?" Rory asked embarrassed blushing "Does she know?"
"Of course she doesn't." He said "She just thinks that you're her best friend. She probably thinks of you as a brother.
"Does anybody else know?"
"Everybody knows." He said
"Do you think anybody will tell her?"
"Hell no." Alec replied "People are placing bets on when she will finally it herself."
"Have you?" Rory asked
"Of course."
"When do you think she'll notice that I like her in a romantic way?"
"Either high school or never." Alec said
"Glad that you have so much faith."
"Hey man I'm just being realistic."
He looks over at Amy talking to Mels about whatever girls talks about and knows that Alec is wrong. He and Amy are meant to be. He just knows it. He just doesn't know how to make Amy realize it. Thankfully, Mels takes care of it later when they're in high school. They're all hanging out at Amy's house. Mels is on Amy's bed clutching on to that weird blue thing that Amy insists is what the Raggedy Man travels in. Sometimes he swears that Mels is more obsessed with him than Amy is. Somehow they get on the topic of boyfriends and Mels is wishing that she has one or something like that and Amy is reassuring her that someday she'll find someone someday.
"It's alright for you. You got Mr. Perfect keeping you right." She said
"He wasn't even real. Just a stupid dream I had when I was a kid."
"I wasn't talking about him." Mels replied
"What Rory? How have I "got" Rory? "
"Yeah how has she "got" me?" Rory asked even he knows that has got him since the first day they met.
"He's not me."
"No. No. I'm not hers." Although I'd like to be he adds silently
"Come on. Seriously." She said as she sits up on the bed. "It's got to be you two. Oh cut to the song, it's getting boring."
"Nice thought okay? But completely impossible."
"Yeah. Impossible." Rory adds silently
"I'd love to. "He's gorgeous. He's my favorite guy. But he's, you know-Gay." Amy said at the said time Rory said "a friend."
Rory turned to Amy and said "I'm not gay."
"Of course you are, don't be stupid, In the whole time I've known you, when have you shown the slightest interest in a girl."
"Penny in the air." Mels said
"I mean I've known you for what, ten years? I've seen you practically every day. Name one girl you've paid the slightest bit of attention to." She said
Rory ran away instead of answering her. It's not something a hero would do in one of those fairy tale books but this isn't a fairytale. He can't face right now. He just can't. He doesn't get that far when he hears Amy running after him. Great now she's going to tease me. He thinks but instead she does what he's only dreamed of and kissed him. To most people it might've been a nice normal kiss but Rory sees it as True Love's kiss and in that moment he knows for sure Amy is his princess.
