I hold my head high as I walk through the door into the cafe to get myself some coffee. I swear I think I heard Sparrow say my name, but I decide to ignore it and continue making my way to the counter.

I open my mouth to place my order- a hocus latte without foam- when the last person I expect slides up next to me and interrupts.

"The usual my good barista, and the same for the lady." Daring Charming leans against the counter and smiles at me. I blink in surprise and the beverage is sitting on the counter in front of me.

"Off with the foam!" I exclaim and slice my hand through the air above the foam, managing to get it to dissipate slightly before turning and going back for the door- miffed that he had the nerve to do that. It was sweet of him to try, but I like my coffee a certain way. He slides up again next to me holding out red roses, I love red roses but I'm a bit irritated with him.

"Would these flowers change your mind, I grew them myself using the light from my teeth." he smiles charmingly but I pull out a scissors and cut off the tops before I continue walking away. Maybe he'll get a hint, I'm not interested- okay maybe a little bit but it's not in my destiny so it's off limits.

Finally getting out the door without anymore interruptions I decide to just go get tea from Maddie's wonderlandiful tea shop. I'm sitting with Kitty and Maddie and we're gossiping and sharing about our days.

Kitty has had some fun causing mischief for Cerise and Raven, but then Raven ruined her fun by spelling her shoes with a speed spell.

Maddie has been here most of the day having a blast working the tea shop, I don't blame her it's quite lovely here. Reminds me of home.

I sigh a I realize it's my turn to share. "You would not believe what happened to me when I went to get a hocus latte today." I shake my head remembering how charming he was trying to be.

"What?" Kitty's grin widened and Maddie jumped up and down, "OOH! Tell me! Tell me! Tell me!" she gasps, "Did someone drop coffee all over you? Or did they close down due to coffee shortage?-" I cut her off before she comes up with anything even crazier, well she is the Mad Hatter's daughter.

"No, nothing of the sort. I didn't even order my latte, Daring Charming tried to talk to me. He tried ordering my coffee, which had foam so of course I went OFF WITH THE FOAM! And then he tried flowers, it was quite sweet they were my favorites."

"He tried to give you red roses?" Kitty raised her eyebrow, "Isn't he a bit of a player?"

"Well, I think it's sweet, please tell me you accepted?"

I look down into my teacup, "Actually I cut off the buds and walked away."

"You did not!?" Maddie gasps and Kitty giggles.

"But he was beings so sweet."

"So?" Kitty looks at Maddie, "We already know he's happy with his destiny, with Apple." She stresses the name of the most popular and beloved princess in school. I sigh and look down again, "That's one reason I was a bit hostile towards him. It's not like I would have a chance, and not only that it's not in my destiny."

"OH who cares? Just live a little Lizzie, not everything's black and red." She jokes, I don't like much white and have always substituted white with red.
