-Brick-

I watched her dancing with Dexter in the ballroom. The king offered us rooms for the night since it was much too dark to get home.

She didn't look to be having a good time. I bet I could show her a way better time than that loser Dexter ever would be able to. I smiled to myself, and then stopped. She could never like me; I was after all only a peasant's son. I was a town's person, a blacksmith, a lower rank of that of a servant in the castle. I was no prince charming, no girls really fancied me or anything. I was just there. But she…she was beautiful. She was a princess, an about to be engaged princess. She was the beauty, and to her I was like the beast. But our love story wouldn't be like theirs. We weren't right for each other. We weren't supposed to be. We just weren't. I sighed. Dexter didn't deserve her. Then again, neither did I.

The music in the ball room stopped and I watched Blossom walk off the dance floor. Dexter didn't even bother going after her. She started up the stairs, where I was, not even acknowledging my presence as I stood there, watching her mumble to herself about hating Dexter. I chuckled, causing her to finally notice me. I waved and smiled lightly.

She looked around, and then walked toward me. "May I help you?" She asked harshly.

I shrugged. "It's nothing, I just passing through to get to the guest room." I brushed passed her and started toward my room.

"Wait!" She stopped me. "I'm sorry sir; I didn't mean to be so harsh toward you. It's just been a really long day and I'm not in the mood to talk be around my soon to be fiancé. He's been angering me all day long, trying to act like he's smarter because he's a man."

"I understand fine princess." I told her.

"Hey…weren't you that man who fixed the leak we had that was flooding the dungeons." See what I mean. That's all she'll ever see me as; the help.

I nodded. "Your father offered me, my brothers, and my father shelter until morning. We'll be back in the village by tomorrow evening."

"Oh. So are you good with that kind of stuff? Fixing things and such?" She asked.

"Yes, why?"

"I could use your help." Blossom admitted. "I broke the handle to my dresser in my room and now I can't open the drawer. Do you think you could fix that?"

Just the help…

None the less, I agreed to see if I was able to fix it.

It did give me an excuse to talk to her and be near her.

-Buttercup-

I walked through the garden, just barely escaping Mitch. I hated being royalty. I hated it with a very strong passion. I wasn't able to make my own choices or decide what I wanted for myself. After all, I knew what I wanted best out of anyone. But my parents didn't understand, they thought that since they were happy together and their marriage was arranged that Blossom and I would be fine also. But we're not. Even being near Mitch makes me want to puke up blood. He acts superior toward me, like I'm just some girl he can order around.

As I walked around the garden I didn't realize where I was going. I looked around and tried to find the way I had come but I didn't know which turns to take. I was lost.

There was a noise from behind me. I turned around quickly, seeing a tall dark figure standing before me. I tried to scream but the man put his hand over my mouth. As he came into the light I finally caught sight of who he was.

"Hello princess!" He smiled. "You lost?"

It was Butch, the one who had saved me earlier that day from Mitch harming me.

He took his hand off my mouth. "Sorry princess I just didn't want you to alarm anyone by screaming, I wasn't trying to hurt you or anything."

That was actually one of the first apologies I've ever gotten from a man. "It's fine." I smiled slightly. "And yes, I can't seem to find my way back to the castle."

He smiled and took my hand. "Come with me." I blushed at his touch but still followed him.

"Buttercup!" Someone yelled through the garden. I knew the voice to be Mitch's.

I rolled my eyes. "Ugh, let's hide!" I told Butch.

We ran behind a tree big enough to hide both of us if one of us stood in front of the other. So now my back was pressed to the tree while Butch was pressed against the front of my body.

"Is he near?" I asked.

"Shhh, he's coming." Butch's breathe blew across my face. It smelled like fresh mint, unlike Mitch's which smelled as if he hadn't brushed them in a month.

"Buttercup! Where are you?" I could hear Mitch right behind the tree.

Butch leaned his head in my neck, as if he was a child hiding from a monster. His lips touched my neck and I felt his warm breathe on it. I could honestly say Butch was the only man I'd ever been so attracted to that I let him be this close.

"Buttercup!" Mitch screamed and stomped away. When we couldn't hear him anymore Butch and I decided it was safe to come out from behind the tree.

He slowly pulled his head up and made eye contact with me.

"Princess…" He spoke.

"Yes?" I asked.

He leaned in closer so that our lips were only a few centimeters away. "You look stunning tonight."

"Thank you." I smiled.

His face moved closer to mine. "May I do something princess?"

"What is that?"

"May I…kiss you?"

"Of course." I whispered.

His lips finally connected with mine. One of his hands held my waist as the other caressed my cheek. Our lips moved together perfectly, like they were meant for each other. There was meaning behind our kiss. It was like there was some untold story that was about to finally be told. A loving one. But also a very, very dangerous one.

-Blossom-

"I just don't like being compared to men. All they see us as is weak and fragile and stupid, but I'm neither of those things. I'm strong and confident and smart! Why is it that people don't see that?" I rambled on. Brick probably wasn't even paying attention. Whenever I ramble like this no one listens.

"I see it." Ok, maybe he was listening. "You're not like a lot of other girls. Trust me, if you were just a regular town's person everyone would see you as weird because you like to learn and read."

"But that's what I mean. They contradict me because I'm into that kind of stuff and they see it as abnormal."

"Good." Brick told me. "Normal is way too overrated."

"You think so?"

He smiled. "Of course. I mean, look at it this way. If everyone were to live a normal day without something odd or strange happening then our lives would be boring and normal. Therefore, normal is boring."

"Well apparently normal is the way everything should be."

"That's an opinion." He stated.

I smiled. Brick had the most ridiculous yet adequate explanations for everything.

"All done." He said.

"What?"

"Your drawer handle is fixed, you are now free to open and close drawers as you please."

I laughed. "Thanks!"

"No problem." He smiled at me.

-Boomer-

I was walking through the halls of the castle, trying to find my way back to my room. That seemed to be impossible.

I spotted a blond woman from behind just a few feet away.

"Excuse me miss!" I yelled. "Do you know how-" I stopped talking as she turned around to face me.

"Uh, I'm so sorry princess I didn't realize it was you, I didn't mean to disturb you or any-"

She giggled. "It's not a problem. Did you need any help?"

I sighed. "I can't exactly find my way back to my room."

"Are you staying in the guest room?"

"Yes."

She smiled. "Follow me, I'll show you back to your room."

"Thank you princess." I said.

"Please, just call me Bubbles."

"I don't think that would be appropriate miss."

"It's perfectly fine with me, so you should have no problem with it either."

"Um…ok. Thank you Prin- uh, Bubbles."

"You're welcome. So what is your name sir?"

"Boomer, miss."

"Bubbles."

"Bubbles." I said again.

Ok so that's the end of the chapter! I know it's very sad! I think next time I'm gonna focus on Bubbles and Boomer just because they weren't in the last two chapters much. Would that be ok? Well, in your review tell me who your favorite couple is so far and who you would like to see more of out of all the characters. Thank you for reading guys it means a lot! Review!
