AN: Okey-dokey this is how it's going to work. I'm going to re-post all my little princess one-shots and put all my new ones into this one story. Summaries are going to be at the top of each chapter for each one-shot. ENJOY!(constructive criticism is welcomed and needed XD)

Summary: Logan forgot he made a promise with his little sister, Lily, to take her to Bower Lake. After hearing this, she decides to take things into her own hands.

Logan was walking through one of the vast halls of the castle one morning on the way to his study to begin the day's paper work that was no doubt waiting for him. But while walking up the stairs his seven year old little sister, Princess Lily, nearly knocked him over when ever when she jumped up and hugged him from behind. Now, Logan knew that it was way too early in the morning for his little sister to be up and around the castle. Where were her nannies? He made a mental note to speak with her personal staff later.

He turned around and took her shoulders and asked,

"What are you doing up Lily?"

Her hair was in its usual braid and she was wearing a smile from ear-to-ear as she said,

"Don't you remember Logan? You said today you would take me to the lake!"

Logan mentally slapped himself for forgetting. He debated in his head for a moment what to do, then decided to break it to her gently that they couldn't go today,

"I'm sorry Lily but when you're King you have a lot of work to do and today I have do a lot of paper work that have to do with protecting the kingdom."

His sister's face fell and her eyes began to get watery. She stuttered,

"B-but you p-promised!"

Logan almost changed his mind right then and there to relent and go to Bower Lake with her but there was paper work demanding to be done. After all the kingdom wasn't going to run itself! It wasn't a matter of that he didn't want to go it was simply that he couldn't. Logan thought for a few moments before remembering Lily's little friend that was always gallivanting around the castle with. What was his name? Edward? No. Eli? Not right either. Elliot that was his name.

"Lily why don't you go play with your friend Elliot?"

The little princess sighed and replied matter-of-factly,

"Well since I've been waiting for this trip for a month Elliot didn't come to the castle today, because I thought it could be just us at the lake."

The first tear slipped out of her eye as Logan bent down, gave her a hug and told her to go play with Urchin, her puppy, in the gardens.

She gave a defeated okay and trudged off to her room to get Urchin. Logan felt horrible about not being able to go but since their mother died all the responsibilities fell on his shoulders and he just didn't have time for anything anymore. He finished his stroll to his study where he began to read over proposals and sign papers.

A few hours later the king was about to fall asleep at his desk, having finished half of the pile of papers put on his desk, when a knock on the door made him snap back up to attention. He cleared his throat then said,

"Come in."

He expected a servant to be walking in with his lunch but instead his little sister meekly peeked her head around the door while her puppy dashed into the room up to Logan, demanding to be pet by his master's brother.

"What is it Lily?" the monarch asked desperate to get back to his work and finish. She walked into the study with her arm's full of papers. They all fell out when she tried to close the door, so Logan jumped out of his chair and went to help her pick them up. When he was crouched down picking them up he noticed they were all pictures of the castle, guards, money, and houses, all signed 'Lily' at the bottom. One that alarmed him was a picture of someone that had what looked like a sword sticking out of them with an 'x' over it.

The last picture that he picked up was a picture of Lily and himself standing next to what must have been Bower Lake.

"What are these for Lily?" He asked while shuffling all the papers into a neat pile. His sister had been silent up until that point.

"Well, I went up to my room to get Urchin but once I got up there I noticed all of my colors and paper, then I remembered you said that the reason you couldn't go to the lake was that you had papers to sign for the kingdom so I decided to help. Did I do well?" She finished looking for his approval. It touched him that she had tried to help him and he felt reassured that if anything ever happened to him Albion would be in good hands. But it also scared him a little that she knew the problems going on the kingdom. He wanted to protect her from the outside world that had child labor, people starving, and people killing one another.

The king picked up the stack of papers and his sister in one fluid movement and walked over to his desk where he sat down with Lily and began asking her what all the pictures meant. She told him one meant more money for everyone, another meant more guards to protect people, the one with the man and the sword meant no one was allowed to kill anyone, and finally the picture of Lily and himself by the lake that meant that he had to take her to Bower Lake soon by order of the 'law'. He had to stop himself from chuckling.

Waking up early and drawing all these new laws must have really taken it out of the little princess because quickly after showing the last picture she fell asleep in his lap.

Logan promptly picked his sister up and began to bring her back to her room. He had almost forgotten that Urchin was in the room until the dog barked from inside the study after he closed the door. The king quickly opened the door and told the companion "Shush."

He walked all the way to her room on the other side of the castle and tucked her into bed, because he noticed it was dark outside. After tucking Lily in he muttered endearingly,

"It's not fit for the princess to be doing so much paper work." He smiled to himself before beginning his walk to the study where he would probably spend the rest of the night. Tomorrow he would be making plans to go to the lake. After all even the king couldn't break the law.

AN: Okay! So I am putting all of my Little Princess one-shots into one big bundle so that it will be easier for my lovely readers to keep up with them! :D I'm till trying to decide on a title so if you have any ideas I would love to hear them!
