AN: Yet again, I am starting another fic without finishing the others...I'm not even sure if I'll finish them, but I'll try if I get some ideas. My muse despises me.
Getfuzzy's muse: Hey, you biatch! I don't hate you! I just...well, I hate you. But it's fun to inspire you and then let you down...
Getfuzzy: Shut it! Feh...Okay, onto more important stuff.
PLEASE READ THE STUFF IN BOLD.
It's very AU…Um…Okay, Sam is a princess, Dash is a prince, Danny is the son of the 'Spirit Chancellor' in the land of Amity, and Tucker is an insane inventor who is best friends with Danny…And also, the way Danny got his powers is different than from the show since it's in the middle ages in a way…it's basically Hyrule put into this story with Danny Phantom characters. But they talk like we do now, so there's slang…but not much of it. It's hard to understand at first, but eventually, I hope you'll understand it.
Ages:
Danny: 19
Sam: 19
Tucker: 19
Dash: 19
Xavier (OC): 12
Sam's POV…
"Princess Samantha, please pay attention. This is a very important matter. And sit up straight." My caretaker, Rose, tapped my shoulder.
"Call me Sam, Rose." I whispered back as I straightened up.
"I know…but your father likes it if I call you Samantha. It is your proper name after all." She whispered back.
Dad cleared his throat and straightened himself up in his throne. He's really into the whole king thing.
"Samantha, you may wonder why I've called you here." He said.
"Sam, damn it…Sam…" I grumbled. I knew I was taking the kiss of death by cussing in front of my father, but at least I did it quietly.
"Pardon?" Mother asked.
"Oh, nothing." I replied.
"Anyways, since you've reached the age of nineteen, it's time you found a royal consort…" He must have noticed the blank look on my face. "Or in other words, the man who will be the next king…or your future husband..."
My face paled. "What!" I shrieked. No way am I getting married now. I'm still young, technically.
"Yes, exciting isn't it? Tonight, you will be having dinner with one of the many young princes who want to court you. They are all very handsome and are excited to meet you." Dad smiled and squeezed Mom's hand. Of course, he doesn't understand that I'm in no way, shape, or form, excited about being a queen. They never understand me and they never will.
"But father…" I groaned.
"No complaining! Your mother even had the seamstress make you a new gown. You will not be going to a formal dinner in your tunic." Dad's grin grew bigger.
"You make me new dresses, but I never wear them! I hate wearing dresses! They…They suck!" The instant I said the word 'suck', I knew I shouldn't have said it. Dad's grin melted away.
"Samantha! You will never use that vulgar language in front of me again! Do you understand?" He cried.
"Yeah…I mean, yes." I rolled my eyes.
"Do not be sassy with me, young lady! You are a princess and you must act like it!" He pounded his fist on the armrest of his chair. "Rose, take her to her room!"
"Yes, your highness…" She stood and motioned for me to do it also. She took me up to my room.
"Ugh, I can't stand him! He doesn't understand!" I paced around and looked out of the window.
"Well, you are the heiress to the throne…you have to get married sometime." Rose stated quietly.
"I know…But most princes are stuck up butt holes." I sighed and flopped on my favorite chair. Rose gave me "The Look". "I know, I know…language… But they are! Why can't I just marry a normal guy…like…a…a clerk? Or an archer?"
"He must be royal…once you…um…have a baby you—" Rose started.
"WHAT! I refuse to have the baby of some jerk who most likely doesn't even love me." I squeezed a pillow tightly.
"I'm sorry…but you must…The line has to stay royal…" Rose played with her dress.
"Whatever." I stared out of the window towards the lake. We sat in silence for several minutes before there was a knock on the door. Rose got up and answered it. When she closed it back, she turned to speak to me.
"Sam, you have to get dressed up. Apparently, the Spirit Chancellor has arrived with his family to discuss how their new invention is coming over lunch. Your mother wants you to wear the purple dress with the purple sandals." Rose went to my closet and pulled out a deep purple silk dress with long sleeves and a pair of sparkly purple sandals. It's the only dress I can at least tolerate.
"Okay." I took the dress from Rose and went to change. I put my hair into a long braid. I've been dying to cut my hair shorter, but Dad says that I have to keep it long for some reason. My hair reaches my waist…I'm sure that's long enough.
"Oh, you look beautiful…" Rose smiled.
"Thank you." I blushed. All of the newspapers say that I'm the 'most beautiful maiden in all of the land', but I don't believe it. They most likely put it there just because I'm a princess.
"Now hurry, the lunch is about to begin." Rose pushed me towards the door. I ran down the stairs and to the formal dining room. Before I ripped open the doors, I composed myself so I gave the general idea that I was princess and that I wasn't depressed about getting married. I gently pressed open the door and walked inside.
"Good day, princess." The guards bowed as they greeted me.
"Good day…" I replied. A butler pulled my chair back for me and I sat down. I looked up and saw the most…handsome…gorgeous…man I've ever seen. He was tall, even though he was sitting and had shaggy black hair. It was very unkempt, but at the same time, was neat. He also had these electrifying eyes. They were pure blue and sharp as nails, but soft and caring.
He bowed his head. "Good day, Milady." I noticed he had a slight blush on his creamy cheeks. My heart skipped a beat.
"Good day…" I whispered.
"Samantha, these are the Fentons. They're making an invention to control roaming spirits in the city. This is Jackson, the spirit chancellor," Dad gestured towards a large (bordering on beastly) man in an orange tunic. "Madeline," Next to Jackson was a petite woman in a teal dress. "And their son, Daniel." So that's his name…I thought to myself. Now that I've been looking at him longer, he's much cuter. He has freckles across the bridge of his nose and one ear pierced.
"Pleasure to make your acquaintance, princess." Daniel's parents bowed their heads.
"The same to you." I responded automatically. Cooks suddenly appeared with platters of bread and salad. They served us all and the adults started to chat about ghosts.
"How old are you, Daniel?" I asked him quietly. Mom doesn't like it when I talk to 'normal people' as she puts it.
"Please, call me Danny…I'm 19." Danny bit into his roll.
"Okay, Danny. I'm 19 too…" I smiled. He was so adorably boyish, but at the same time, he was just…manly.
"Really? I always thought you were older…In the newspaper, they talk about you trying to find a king…" He finally looked up into my eyes.
"Yeah…it sucks—I mean, stinks…I mean, I'm still a kid in a way…I don't want to be married…" I nibbled on my salad.
"Oh…I just have a question, if you don't mind, princess." He said after swallowing.
"Go ahead…but please don't call me princess…Sam is fine." I sipped my water.
"Alright…well, what kind of things do you for fun? I mean, since you're protected by guards most of the time…" He cocked his head to the side. I noticed he had another ear piercing under his hair up on the top of his ear.
"I ride horses…and write…and I like archery a lot, but my parents don't like me to do that a lot." I explained to him.
"That's interesting…do you hunt things when you do the archery thing?" He asked. I laughed a little bit.
"No, never…I would die if I killed an animal…that's why I'm a vegetarian." A server took away my plate and replaced it with some fruit.
"Oh…" He poked absentmindedly at his food. We didn't say anything for quite a while.
"What kind of things do you like to do?" I finally asked him. He looked up.
"I like to spend time with my friend, Tucker…and I like to swim…Pretty boring, eh?" He grinned.
"No, not at all…what do you do when you're with Tucker?" I wondered. I've never had real friends outside of family.
"We just talk…and I help him with his inventions…" At the word inventions, his eyes suddenly became dark.
"What's wrong with his inventions?" I said after devouring a grape.
"Nothing…just some bad memories…one made me—" He paused as his mother shot him a look, suddenly peeling from the adult conversation. "One made me a bit sick…"
"I'm sorry…" I looked at his eyes in wonder. I felt this weird feeling. It was like
we were connected in some way.
"That's okay…" He smiled weakly. We both blushed.
The lunch continued and Danny and I kept talking. We talked about tons of things. He told me what life outside of the castle was like and I told him what it was like being a princess. I felt like I knew him really well, even though we'd just met.
It was letdown when the lunch ended and he had to leave. We stood out in front of the castle. As usual, they bowed. But when Danny bowed, he kissed my hand. But that's not what was odd. He slipped a piece of paper into my hand secretly and then winked. I smiled at him and he smiled back.
"Thank you very much, your majesty." Jackson climbed into the carriage, followed by Madeline and Danny.
"You are very welcome." Mom replied. The horses began to move and they rode off. As soon as they were out of sight, I went back up into the castle and to my room.
Once I had changed into my pajamas, I sat on my bed and opened Danny's note. It read:
Hi Sam! I enjoyed lunch a lot and I hope to speak to you soon. Maybe we can meet at my house…if you can…It's over near the town square. It's the one with the purple door and a green letter F on it. Just come by whenever you can…
Signed,
Danny.
I closed the note back up and my lips opened in a smile.
"That's so cute…" I said to myself. I tucked the note under my mattress so no one could find it and got out a book that I just started. Ironically enough, it's about a girl who falls in love with a guy she barely knows at first sight…
But did I fall in love at first sight? Or was I just blinded by his looks?
AN: That was a terrible ending, sorry…And just for the reference, I made Maddie and Jack's names formal for that part…And I'm going to start writing some Inuyasha stories and I'm changing my name to "My muse hates me"…I'm not sure though…so…um…yeah…Sorry if this doesn't update very soon, I've got lots of tests and things AND my mom got me THE FIRST SEASON OF INUYASHA ON DVD! SOOOOOOOOOO EXCITED. MUST. WATCH. ALL…lol…then I'm going to borrow the second movie from my boyfriend since that's the one where Kagome and Inuyasha kiss! I think…or is it the third? I don't know. Whatever. Okkkkay. Now review without flames!
