No-one's POV.

"Dad, I need some advice." Carter said, walking up to her dad, who was working in the bait shop, no-one was in there, it was a slow Saturday.

"What with pal?" he asked, looking up from the mail he was reading.

"I… You know it's the school dance coming up, yeah?" Carter asked, knowing what the answer would be.

"Of course, it's all you've talked about since you & Rosie were voted for the princesses." He said, chuckling at the memory of how happy his daughter was when she came home after being elected.

"Well, there's this girl who I really wanna ask, but… she doesn't know that I like her in that way, I'm not even sure if she knows I'm gay, what should I do?" she asked, yes, Carter Mason, was openly gay, her dad knew about it, he was the first person to guess, it was him she spent most of her home-time with, he knew her so well, and therefore, worked it out.

"Who is she?" he asked, acting like the conversation was no big deal, because it wasn't, why would it be? It wasn't any different to if she was talking about a boy.

"It's Rosie." She said quietly.

"Right, well… I think you should ask her, She wont be mad or anything, because you're her only friend here, she wouldn't wanna lose you about it." He said, looking his daughter dead in the eye.

"You think so dad?" she asked her, raising an eyebrow.

"Definitely pal, go… go ask her." He said, gesturing to the door as Carter left, on her way to find Rosie.

She found Rosie on the pier, looking out into the lake.

"Rosie?" she asked.

"Yes Carter?" Rosie said, pronouncing all the letters correctly, because that's what princesses do.

"Do you have a date for the school dance yet?" She asked, knowing the answer, but still wanting to hear it from her mouth.

"I… No, Carter, I don't exactly wanna take a… boy… to the school dance." She said, looking down at the floor, and turning a light shade of red.

"Wha'dya mean?" she asked, not quite catching on to what Rosie meant, She never was one of the brightest bulbs in the box, as clever as she was.

"I… I have never dated boys, I have never been attracted to boys." She said quietly.

"Oh, I think I get what you mean."

"I… I never told my mother, or my people, because I didn't want to lose my throne, and I didn't want them to be disappointed in me." She said, eyes still glued to the floor.

"Rosie, don't be so scared, they won't be disappointed in you, you can't help who you really are. It's not a choice, I know that." She said, hoping Rosie would catch on, but, of course, she didn't.

"Wow, you're really kind and understanding, A princess is never really sure who her true friends are, but I am sure that you are one." Rosie said, grinning brightly at Carter.

"I don't mind Rosie, 'cause, when I came out here, I came to ask if you wanted to go to the dance… with me?" she added, Rosie looked confused.

"As friends, yeah?" she asked.

"N… No, as… well, as my date." She said, trying to find the right words. Rosie's smile grew wider, if possible.

"Oh my goodness, for real Carter?" Rosie asked, trying, but failing miserably, to conceal her happiness.

"Yeah, course, I really like you Rosie." Carter said, smiling almost as widely as Rosie.

"Well then yes, I would love for you to take me to the dance." Rosie said, as she wrapped her arms around Carters neck, hugging her tightly.

Carter, being slightly shorter, pulled away from Rosie's chest, and looked into her eyes, and before she could stop herself, she was reaching her head up towards Rosie's. Their lips met in a passionate kiss, and lingered there for a moment, before Carter licked Rosie's bottom lip, Rosie, having never kissed anyone, didn't know what that meant, so she opened her mouth, hoping it was the right thing to do. Carters lips curved up slightly as she slipped her tongue into Rosie's mouth, which caused Rosie to accidentally moan from the back of her throat.

Their tongues battled against each other, fighting each other to the ground of the owners mouth. They un-willingly pulled apart when oxygen became an issue.

They both blushed a deep shade of red, just before Carter spoke.

"W… wow, that was amazing." She said, quietly, just loud enough for Rosie to hear.

"Really? I… I don't know, I think it was good, but… that was my first kiss." Rosie admitted.

"Really?" Carter asked, shocked that such a beautiful girl had never been kissed.

"Yeah." She said, and then it was silent, the only sound was the two girls breathing which was slowly evening out again.

"By any chance did she say yes?" Carters dad said from behind them, apparently witnessing the whole event. He smiled brightly at his daughter and the soon-to-be Queen of Costa Luna.

"Wait, he knew you were gonna ask me?" Rosie asked surprised.

"Well, yeah, I asked him for advice on it." Carter told her.

"Wait, your dad knows that you're… you know?" she asked, and Carter nodded. "Wow, and he doesn't mind, he still respects you?" she asked, confused that people could react like that.

"Well, yeah, of course I do. She's my daughter, I loved her before, why wouldn't I love her just as much now?" Carter's dad answered the question for her.

"You see, Rosie, this is what I was trying to tell you, if people love you, their opinion of you won't change over something that you can't help. It doesn't matter whether someone's gay or straight or Bi, it's what's on the inside that counts." Carter impressed herself with her pep talk. She didn't know she could be so sensitive.

"Really?" Rosie whispered, Carter nodded, Rosie then turned to the man who had risked his life for her, and he nodded as well.

"Then… I'll do it, I'll tell my mom, and my people, when I get back home." Rosie said, smiling brightly at Carted and her dad.

Carters grin faltered though.

"Yeah, your gonna be going home soon aren't you?" Carter asked, her voice unnoticeably breaking at the thought of losing Rosie so soon.

"Well, as soon as they capture General Kane, I can go back." Rosie said.

Then she noticed that Carter was sad.

"Hey, don't be upset, now that we're… you know… do you really think I'm gonna leave you and your dad here? You're going to come and live in my palace with me, you know, like in the fairytales. We'll all live happily ever after." Rosie said smiling.

Carter smiled brightly again.

"Really?" she asked.

"Yes, of course. As long as it's okay with your father."

Carter turned to her dad.

"Yeah, of course it's Ok pal, but you aren't sharing a room." He said jokingly. Carter smacked him on the arm.

"Carter, you shouldn't hit your father." Rosie said, not realising that it was a jokey hit on the arm.

Carter laughed at Rosie's expression. "Rosie, I'm joking, it's like when I told you I hated you… it was meant in an 'I love you' way." She said, which caused Rosie to smile.

"Oh, well…" she hit him on the arm as well.


A week later, and Rosie and Carter were just applying the finishing touches to their make-up. Carter was in her dads room getting ready, and Rosie in theirs, as they decided that they didn't want to see each other before the dance.

Just as Rosie had slipped on her high heeled shoes, there was a knock at the door, she opened it, and saw Carter standing there, smiling at her. She handed her a rose and Rosie (ha, get it… Rose… Rosie… *silence* well, stuff you, it's funny in my head! :L) put it on her bed. They went down stairs, and got in the limo which Mason had secretly ordered for the girls.

They arrived at the school, and kids cheered at them as they walked in, not because they were a same-sex couple, but because they were the princesses of the dance. They went inside, and went straight to the dance-floor and danced together. A few people were staring, but they ignored it. Nothing was going to spoil that night. Except General Kane, who was posing as a student since he found, somehow, that Rosie was attending the school dance.

At around 11.00, the 3 princesses were called onto the stage, they all stood up there as they awaited the announcement.

"And, as voted by the students of this school, the queen of lake Monroe high, 2008, is… Rosie Gonzales." He said it, and paused to open the envelope before her read out her name, he then walked over to Rosie, and placed the crown on her head.

"WAIT! She can't be queen." Chelsea cried, people looked at her, as she carried on.

"Rosie can't be princess of our school, because… she's had too much practise. She's a real princess, of an island called Costa Luna, she's called Princess Rosalinda Mario Fiore Montoya, and she was put under a princess protection thingy because her kingdom was invaded." She cried, everyone looked at her as if she was mad. But then, General Kane yelled out.

"Grab the Princess." And about 5 huge men ran out from behind doors, and ran towards Rosie, Carter grabbed her hand, and pulled her into a corner, then she stood in front of her.

"You take Rosie, you take me too." Carter said, building up as much courage as she could. The other people were all watching, shocked at what was going on.

"Fine, get them both." Yelled General Kane, and the guards grabbed them both. They were both dragged outside, and too a helicopter. As one of the men opened the helicopter door, Mason's voice sounded from behind.

"Hands off the princess and my daughter!" he yelled.

"Get them inside." General Kane yelled, and the men pushed them into the helicopter, just then, Mason, and about 10 other men ran up to the 6 men, and tackled them to the ground, as the 5 men & General Kane were pinned to the floor, Mason went over to the helicopter and helped the girls out.

"No! Costa Luna should be mine! With her free, it won't be run properly, don't you realise that?" General Kane said, his accent heavy in his words.

"Maybe it won't, but it's up to Princess Rosalinda to make mistakes, and to learn from them, if she messes up, she can fix it. It's not your Island, her father left it to her." Carter said to General Kane.

"You know mate? I don't know what they call this where you come from, but in America, we call it kidnapping. You're going down bud." Mason said, looking down on a struggling General Kane.

Carter called for the police, as the crowd around them grew larger by the second.

About 10 minutes later, the police arrived, and arrested the 6 men, they took statements from everyone, all the kids went home, after trying to get close to Rosie, and act like best friends with her.

They arrived back at Carters house, and Rosie pulled out her cell, she quickly dialled her mothers Mobile. Too her surprise, she answered.

"Rosalinda, is that you?"

"Yes mother, It's me, they have captured General Kane, I can come home, You are free again."

"That Is wonderful. I shall send you a private jet-plane to California airport, It shall be there in about 3 hours. Pack your things darling. I will see you soon." She said.

"Mother, thank you, but, I am going to have two people with me, they are wonderful people, and they are going to come and live with us."

"Okay darling, I shall see you when I see you."

"I love you mom."

"I love you too."

And she put the phone down, smiling brightly at Carter.

"So, pack your things." Rosie said, still smiling at Carter.

"I can't believe we're moving in with you." Carter said, smiling just as widely as Rosie.

"Yes, it will be great. I… I love you." Rosie said.

Carter took Rosie's face in her hand, and kissed her deeply, Mason cleared his throat to remind them of his presence.

"I love you too." Carter breathed as they pulled away.
