One morning, when Maria woke up, she found a shadow in front of her; suddenly she feels a hand picking her up. The girl turned quickly and who does she found?

"Alex!" Said Maria shocked "How dare you scare me like that?"

"Sorry!" Laughed the little De Noir girl.

Alex was laughing hard but Maria was shaking. "Maria, I'm so sorry! It was just for fun!" Said Alex who stopped laughing and was worried about Maria's reaction.

"Alex, I just woke up! You scared me to death!" Said Maria laughing and suddenly takes her pillow and throw it at the other girl.

"Get dress and come with me to the dining room, everyone is waiting for you sleeping beauty!" Said Alex smiling and she sits next to Maria on the bed.

Once Maria is dressed, she gets down with Alex to the dining room. She finds: Robin, Loveday, Coeur De Noir, Sir Benjamin, and Mrs. Heliotrope.

"Wow, Maria! You usually sleep more than that!" Said Loveday surprised.

"I know but you're little sister here waked me up by scaring me to death!" Said Maria pointing Alex.

They all laugh and Maria sits between Robin and Alex.

"Good morning princess!" Said Robin looking at Maria smiling, "Do you want me to punch Alex or to kick her in the butt?" Maria laughs but the little sister of Robin sighted and pinched her big brother in the arm.

They ate their breakfast and soon they went to the forest. Alex said to the couple (Robin and Maria) that she has to go and then disappears in the forest.

Robin and Maria are walking in the forest, they weren't talking. Suddenly, Maria broke the silence.

"Wow, when Alex is here, we can't have one moment in peace. When she's gone, it's complete silence!"

Robin laughs then he answered: "Yeah, you're right princess!"

"A question, where are we going?"Asked Maria

Robin didn't answer but he looks at Maria smiling then he looked in front of him. Maria stopped walking and putted her arms on her hips, in this time the boy stopped but he wasn't looking at her.

"Robin if you're not going to answer me or at least looking at me, I'm not going to continue this trip to…" A pause "I don't even know where we're going or where we are right now!"

Robin sighted than he walks to Maria and takes her hands saying: "It's a surprise! Don't think that what I'm going to show you is something magical but I want you to see it anyway!" He left her hands, kissed her on the cheek, suddenly took her arm and run.

Why is that bird boy so confusing? What does he want to show Maria? You'll know in the other chapter!
