Moon Prince?
Chapter 1.
It had been two years since Maria Merryweather saved all of Moonacre Valley, and since then relationships have grown. Sir Benjamin and Loveday have been married for a year and a half, soon to be two. Digweed and Mrs. Heliotroph were married a year after Benjamin and Loveday, although nothing big has changed between them. Robin and Maria have been seeing each other everyday and are the best of friends. Their relationship is growing every time; the only people who can't see it are the friends themselves. Everything was perfect and nothing could seem to change that…
Maria woke one morning to sunlight shining through her window. Just like every morning, but to Maria, felt even more special.
As she tried to get a little more rest before breakfast, she heard a thud coming from the secret passage way. She smiled to herself, knowing who it was.
She heard the door open. Peeking an eye open, she saw a familiar looking bowler hat, looking around the room and finally standing at his full height. Pretending to be asleep, knowing his intentions of trying to scare her awake, she closed her eyes and listen to his soft footsteps. As he got closer, she could hear his leather crunching with every move he made, and slow breathing. In a blink of an eye, Maria shot up and grabbed his precious hat, and jumped off the bed before he could react and grab her. When he finally recovered, he looked up grinning mischievously.
"I think you want to give me my hat back now, don't you?"
"Not really" Maria answered him, smiling and giggling. He went to reach out for her, but she was faster and saw this as his next move. She ran out the door and down the stairs to the main hallway.
"Big mistake, princess!" Robin cried after her, still grinning, and ran out the door chasing her.
When Maria got down stairs, she looked up the steps to see how close Robin was to catching her. When she saw his shadow, she ran down the hall into the dining room. As Robin reached the last step, he looked around quizzically. Where had she gone? That's when he heard light chatter in the dinning room, and ran down the hall to see if that's where she went.
"-do like teasing him, don't you Maria? Ah good morning Robin, sleep well?" Loveday asked. As he walked in, he saw Sir Benjamin, Loveday, and Maria sitting, down eating breakfast.
He looked where Maria usually sat, and saw her smiling triumphantly at him, his hat in her lap. He shot her a playful glare saying 'I'll get you back later' and sat down next to her.
"Yes thank you Loveday." He replied, accepting some scrambled eggs from Digweed.
And last but not least, Mrs. Heliotroph walked in a little flustered and out of breath.
"Do forgive me, I over slept. Maria! Good heavens! Why are you not dressed? Very unladylike." Mrs. Heliotroph scolded. Maria blushed slightly, being put on the spot. Robin seeing this nudged her in the arm, when she looked at him; he gave her a small smile and shook his head.
Loveday saw this and smiled at them knowingly. "It's fine Mrs. Heliotroph, I think both you and Maria had overslept and had a rude awakening, hum?" Loveday smiled up at the other woman. No one could resist Loveday and her sweet smiles, sometimes she didn't notice but other times, she used them to her advantage. This was one of those times.
"Oh, well, I can agree to that. But Maria, you will go straight up to your room after breakfast and get dressed. We are ladies and ladies do not stay in their night wear." Mrs. Heliotroph said sitting down and receiving breakfast from her husband.
"Yes Mrs. Heliotroph." Maria answered, rolling her eyes when her teacher wasn't looking.
