Unexpected

Ch 2

Found Out

Doris watched as he slept fitfully. She felt sorry for him. "At least he'll never know my… secret that I wasn't always this. My voice should be a dead give away but he didn't care. I know if the others find out about our love, they'd be grossed out but I love him. I always have. Maybe I'll propose to him." She thought as she ate a tub of Ben and Jerry's ice cream in bed. Charming then woke up drenched in sweat. "What's wrong babe?" she asked him calmly.

"I… I was dreaming about that night when she was taken away from me forever." He said in a whisper. "Who?" Doris said to him. "My mother. I like being without her… It's just she was the only one who understood me as a person if you know what I mean." He explained. Doris then wrapped her arms around him as they fell asleep but before her eyes closed, they kissed.

Meanwhile Puss was at the castle. Fiona and Donkey were already up and having breakfast. "Hola! Do you want to hear something really odd?" he said to them. "Sure." Donkey told him. "Doris is in love!" he said. "That's good! But who's she in love with?" Fiona told him. Puss smiled evilly before going on. "In love… with Charming! She brought him into her room and slipped into a lacy night gown." He informed them. Fiona was a little disturbed by that. "Why would she hang out with Charming for? He tried to take over the kingdom." Donkey said worriedly. "I know but she had a crush on him and now she's getting what she's been looking for all this time- Love." Fiona told him calmly. But Puss walked off laughing about it. He then went to the Poison Apple Pub but it was closed. This worried him. Meanwhile Doris was getting ready to go out. She knew that Charming couldn't show his face in public yet because of what he did but maybe the people of Far, Far Away had forgotten it or forgiven him but she knew that would never happen. He was asleep in bed. He wanted to sleep, to forget the pain and loss of dignity from the actions he took but being with Doris made him feel better.

"W-What's going on?" he asked after Doris shook him awake. "I'm sorry babe. Were you sleeping? I've got to go hang out with some friends. Just stay here, okay? Just until I come back." she said as she kissed him tenderly. He smiled weakly at that. "It's okay honey. Go. I'll be fine." he told her yawning. "I know. Maybe one day we'll be able to tell them... about our Love. But they'd probably be angry and try to ruin it. I... I didn't mean to take over the kingdom. It was the one thing I could do to make my Mom proud of me for once and fulfill my destiny but now I see Fiona and her husband do make good rulers." he said quietly. "I understand. But why don't you tell the others that? They might understand for once." she told him as she touched his face. "Yeah right! They probably wouldn't listen to one word I say anyway." he scoffed. She then left but took a lingering look at her love before closing the door. But they didn't know that a certain feline assasin had taped this with a video camera. "This is perfect. I can't wait to show Fiona and the boss this later but I have to tweak it a bit!" he thought as he landed on the ground after jumping from the roof. Fiona and the other girls were staring at Doris as she sipped tea. "What is it? Do I have a zit outbreak or something?" she asked.

"No. We heard that you're seeing somebody, a certain prince who is a sworn enemy of the kingdom." Rapunzel told her. "How do they know about me and Charming?" Doris thought. Fiona shot her a look. "Ignore her Doris. She's just fooling everybody. Besides it's just a... rumour isn't it?" she said to her. Doris then sighed before speaking. Maybe now was the time to tell them about it. They were her friends and would understand right?

Apparently not...
