"Robin! Robin! Wake up!" A familiar voice echoed. Groaning I turned over and put my pillow over my head.

"What are you doing here?" I asked the redhead.

"It's already noon and you were supposed to help me and Loveday with the garden, so we came to find you." Maria stated. I looked over at her in surprise.

"Oh! I totally forgot about that!"

"It's okay. Seems like you forgot about other things as well." Maria laughed as she eyed my clothes.

"Shut up!" I said playfully. I pushed her off my bed.

"Now shoo! So I can get ready!"

"You sound like a girl!" Maria chuckled.

"Shut up!" I said jokingly. Quickly I threw on my clothes. I can't believe I forgot! And not only that, but Maria saw me in that kind of situation! All I could do was shake my head of how uncool that was. I soon made my way down to where Loveday and Maria were waiting.

"Took you long enough! Did you have to apply your makeup first?" Maria asked with her evil smirk.

"Now now Princess! no need to be feisty!" She hated it when I called her that, and just because of her snide remarks, I think I just might call her that all day.

*Maria*

Oh how I wished that I hadn't make that sarcastic remark! Now Robin was going to call me 'Princess' all day. Robin, Loveday, and I made our way to the carriage.

"Do I really have to ride in this box on wheels?" Robin moaned.

"Unless you would rather walk." I told him. Robin sighed and reluctantly got in.

"I thought so." I laughed. Loveday got in next, and I followed.

"Maria my dear, sit next to Robin. I feel sorry that he would be lonely the whole way there." Loveday smirked. I could feel the heat rise to my face.

"But Loveday–"

"No buts! My wedding is soon, and I would like you to do this for me." Loveday winked at me. I sighed and sat next to Robin.

"Is sitting next to me so bad?" Robin mumbled. I turned to look at him, his face was hidden by his hair, and he was looking out the window. There was no sarcasm in his words. Did he actually care?

"Well Princess?" he asked in a rather harsh tone, which took me aback.

"N–no. I didn't mean it that way." I said, a bit surprised at my words and how they came out.

"Then what did you mean?" Robin asked, still not looking at me.

"What does it matter?" I said. Robin whipped around, about ready to yell something, but he stopped himself.

"Never mind." he said, and with that he turned around and we didn't speak a word the whole rest of the ride.

––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Maybe I was a bit too hard on him. But, I don't know why he got so mad. He didn't have to be so– so rude. Even Loveday was a bit was a bit awkward when we go to the garden. No one really said anything. I sighed. I'll have to go apologize later and see what it was about. But, right now, I have to focus on the wedding.

*Robin*

Shit! Shit! Shit! What did I just do!? Why did I just do that!? Now Maria's mad! And nothing is good when Maria is mad. The carriage ride was silent– no, not the carriage ride, but the whole day was silent. Why was I so angry? I acted like I was in Primary School. I groaned in embarrassment while pacing my room. It doesn't make sense! I've never acted like that before! What made me do it? I just got a rush of anger. I mean what was so wrong with sitting next to me? I sigh, placing a hand to my forehead. Well, whatever the reason, I better go apologize. Looking out my window, I realise it's night already. "Aw man! I wanted to apologize as soon as possible." That way things can go back to normal. I wonder if she's awake. But even if she was awake, going to the Merryweather's mansion at this hour? No, I wouldn't even make it to her room. But, I remember Loveday went through the secret passage to Maria's room. Yes! That way I could make sure if she's awake. If she wasn't, I'd leave and tell her first thing in the morning! Perfect!

*Maria*

"Uggggghhh!" I sighed. Why can't I just think about something else!? Ever since Robin and I had that fight, I couldn't help but feel… guilty. I've been pacing my room for the last hour! "That's it! I give up! I'm going and apologizing!" I'll sneak out and take Periwinkle. I was making my way to the door when I heard a ruckus coming from the secret passageway in the fireplace. Why would Loveday be coming in through there? She practically lives here. Curious as to who it might be, I waited. When the door opened, a familiar figure stepped out.

"Robin!?"

"Princess." Robin smirked.

"I was just about to go and see you!"

"W-what? Really?"

"Yeah! I wanted to apologize for what happened in the carriage." Maria looked down.

"That's why I came. I've been thinking about it practically all day, and I still can't figure out why I acted like I did. I'm sorry Maria. I shouldn't have acted the way I did. It was immature."

All I could do was stare at him with wide eyes and open mouth.

"W-what?" Robin asked in embarrassment.

"It's just… I've never known you to be one who apologizes so… sincerely."

"I can be sensitive." Robin said in defense.

"Well I guess I've only known you to be a tracker and kidnapper." I joked.

"True…" Robin grabbed my hand pulling me closer to him "Then I guess it's time we get to know each other better." Robin smirked.
