AN: THIS IS NOT A MODERNISED VERSION OF EVER AFTER……..sorta
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I OWN NOTHING
They had this deal, Nicky, Jackie and Maggie, since their first year at Cambridge University, three years ago now. They would eat together at the restaurant down the road from their dorm the first night, and then Nicky and Jackie would leave Maggie alone at all possible moments. Just because Maggie had to share a room with them didn't mean that she had to admit they existed.
They sat around the table at the back of the restaurant waiting for their meals while Maggie told them both that this being their final year, this would be the last time they had dinner as a (gulp) family.
Jackie smiled, "Don't worry, we wont stop you from squandering away your life." Nicky smiled into her drink at the look on Maggie's face.
They heard the door open and looked up to see two men walk in. Maggie was in a pile of drool at Nicky's feet before she stood up and turned on Jackie. "Ew!" she screamed in all her blonde glory, "How could you even think that I would sit with you?"
Jackie and Nicky both rolled their eyes, they knew this would happen. But even Nicky, who had never had a boyfriend in her life, had to admit, that this man was gorgeous, and the one next to him equally so. The men didn't seem as impressed as Maggie would have liked at her outburst and made their way to Jackie and Nicky.
"Hey," one said, "I'm Adam-"
An apple flew through the air and hit the man square in the chest as he fell off the large black horse.
"Thief! This will teach you to steal my father's horse!" A lady cried, no she wasn't a lady, a servant maybe.
"Mine slipped a shoe, I have no choice," a tall man said cowering behind the horse.
"And our choice is what? To let you?" the woman was relentless with the apples as she pelted him. "Get out or I'll wake the house," the woman cried as she threw one last apple. Then the hood of the man's cloak fell off to reveal his face. " Forgive me, Your Highness. I did not see you." She fell to her knees in fear.
The man had a vaguely amused look on his face as he studied his shirt. "Your aim would suggest otherwise."
The woman was still on her knees waiting for the sword blow, "And for that I know I must die."
"Then er...speak of this to no-one and er...I shall be lenient." The man said realising that he could still get the horse.
"We have other horses, Highness, Younger, if that is your wish."
The man looked out over the horizon and said "I wish for nothing more
than to be free of my gilded cage." He threw some gold to the ground near the woman and told her " For your silence." Then without a look back he rode off leaving the girl there with the gold.
Adam and Nicky looked at each other and Adam and his friend left. Nicky turned to Jackie who hadn't seemed to notice a thing. "Do you know who that was?" she asked.
Jackie nodded halfway through a carrot. "That was the French Ambassador's son Adam and his friend Laurie…"
Nicky laughed the vision forgotten as she saw her friend sigh.
The three of them walked back to their dorm as Maggie made Nicky unpack her things.
"That Adam," Maggie almost drooled. "He's mine."
Jackie took one of Maggie's shirts from Nicky and helped her put them away. "I don't think so," Jackie whispered so only Nicky could hear.
