Chapter One

A dim light lit up the sky as I was finishing my dress. Of course, I would of loved to try it on to see if it was the right size, but I didn't have the right figure. I was making a beautiful dress for a very special girl. Her name's Candace. I've been trying to woo her with my beautiful charm and grace, but she isn't head-over-heels for me... yet. Alright, I admit, when we were younger I wasn't... exactly nice to her. But she should of known! I was a twelve year old boy with a crush! She should of expected me teasing her and stealing quick glances from her when she wasn't looking! I sighed, finishing the dress. "It's done, and it's going to look great on her!" I exclaimed gleefully. How could she not fall for a guy like me?

The next day, I put the dress in my purse and skipped happily along the way to the Tailor Shop. I quickly barged into the shop, noticing my glamorous purple locks were glistening in the sunlight. "Candace!" I called. Then emerged a beautiful blue-haired lady. I dropped my jaw, then closed it, trying to prevent drool.

"C-Candace, you busy?" I asked, stuttering. Candace shook her head.

I walked up to the counter and noticed something... but I ignored it. "Candace! I made something for you! You'll look just great in it!" I exclaimed, clapping my hands together. Candace cocked her head to the side. I took out a white, pretty dress that had white roses at the edge of the dress. It had no sleeves, but elegant curls were used. I had started working on it two months ago. I looked at the expression on Candace's face, her mouth was open and her face was pink. "W-Wow Juli..." She mumbled. I smiled, "I know, hun. You can say it..." I said, looking at her approvingly. "Who told you?! Was it Luna? Who told you I was getting married?!" she asked me, demanding an answer. I stayed silent for a second, trying to swallow everything she just told me. "W-Well Candace, I could give you the blue feather. I never knew you would fall for me," I admitted. Candace shook her head. "I don't want to get married to you. I'm already engaged... to... Kevin."

At the very moment, when the words escaped from her soft pink glossy lips, I held my breath. I felt hot inside my body, as if my veins were going to explode. "W-What?" I asked, dumbstruck. "You made this dress because I was getting m-married, right? You want me to use it?" She asked me, taking the dress.

I noticed her fourth finger had a ring on it, and the odd thing was... a blue feather was sticking out of her pocket. "N-N-No..." I mumbled, my lips trembling. "No!" I shouted, running out of the shop, leaving a confused Candace behind.

I tried to hold my tears, that was what a real man would of done, but they kept on streaming out; nonstop. But who wouldn't have? I devoted my entire life... to try to capture her heart. But it was all taken away, by an amateur country bumpkin that came just four months ago! How could Candace be so foolish? Why would she fall for him but not me? Was she denial, was she holding herself back from her true feelings? Was she getting blackmailed?! We had so much history. But it was all flushed down the toilet. I ran to the Caramel District. No one was usually there. I sat myself near the stream, my tears fell down into the ocean. I felt betrayed, I felt like a knife was plunged right into my heart.

I wanted something. I wanted... revenge. But how? How could I get that man back by stealing my childhood sweetheart? I sighed, falling back on the grass. I closed my eyes, and wiped the salty tears from my pale face. I opened my eyes again. I stared at the clouds drifting by. I knew what I felt was wrong, yet, I wanted it. I wanted revenge. I didn't feel mad at Candace, at all. Kevin was who I was after. All this time, he knew I was head-over-heels for her, yet he never gave up and always tried going after her.

"I wish I could get him back... somehow,"
