Onto the story:

The pep talk I gave myself had little effect on my nerves. I stepped out when the elevator, shaking. A presence was here…his…down the hall. Putting one foot in front of the other, I finally made it to the front of his office door.

Knocking, with a shaking fist but audibly strong, his voice said, "Come in." The doors automatically opened, revealing Prince Schneizel, standing in front of his desk. Once he saw me, he abruptly stood from his chair and walked towards me.

"Miss Cecile… what a lovely surprise…" he gave me a charming smile.

"Hello, Your highness," I gave a small, nervous smile. Then his amethyst eyes looked towards the papers, "I am guessing those are for me?" All I could do was nod. I handed the papers to him and he took them and placed them on his desk.

"Miss Cecile, may I ask a favor?"

"Yes?"

"Will you walk in the garden with me?" he invited.

"I will" I answered. He held out his arm for me to take, which I did. We walked out of his office, down the stairs, to the garden. On the way, there I noticed some of the young maids glaring at me. From Lloyd, I heard that some of them were infatuated with His Highness. They even nicknamed him "Prince Charming" when referring him to each other like "Oh gosh! Prince Charming just said 'Good morning' to me just a few moments ago!" Well, I thought while looking at him, they are right. He looks and acts like a prince from a fairytale. His voice is gentle but at the same time has authority and leadership. His hair looks so silky and shiny, and always perfect. His eyes are like shining amethysts. Just looking at them draws you in-

"Miss Cecile, are you alright?" he asked with curiosity.

"Y-yes," I answered, feebly. Now we were in the garden, and it looked spectacular. It seemed the entire flower species discovered was in the garden. Lilies, petunias, daisies, cosmos, baby's breath, roses of every color, were all there. A large sakura tree was planted in the middle.

"Oh, it's beautiful!" I gasp, wanting to remember this view forever. He led my to a small table branched out from the cobble stone walkway. Apparently one cobblestone decided to be slippery and I slipped.

"Aaggh," I cried. It was the second time this week that I slipped. This time I didn't fall to the ground. Prince Schneizel caught me in his arms. After I realized, my blush went at least 10 shades of red, then deciding on the most noticeable one. My nose picked up a scent, his scent. The only way I can describe it is unfeasible. It had a bit of citrus, but a hint of mint and honey.

"At least I caught you this time," he said as he helped me back up and placed me in the chair. He sat opposite from me. To my horror, a young maid came out.

She walked up to the table and asked sweetly, "Is there anything I can get you, Your Highness?" I knew she intended a dual meaning to the word "anything". Her back was toward me, and I noticed that her hem of her maids dress was higher than normal ones, probably trying to show off her legs.

"Oh, yes, tea please." He said looking her straight in the eye; "Miss Cecile?" his hand motioned towards me. She forcibly turned towards me, her smile still remaining but there was malice in her eyes.

"I don't mean to be a bother…" I started. Her eyes seem to agree. Then my stomach growled.

His Highness laughed gently, "It seems like you body is not agreeing. I really don't mind. You are my guest after all. Order anything you like."

"Okay," I said to him and turned towards the maid, "I'll have iced sweet tea and 6 petit fours, please."

"I'll be right back with that," The maid said to him and went to get our order. He then told me about him and how he used to play in the garden as a boy.

"…I was only six. I ran back into the palace, watching from my bedroom window. My father was on his afternoon walk and when he opened the gate, a whole five gallons of shaving cream fell on his head. I didn't prefer his long hair in those days and wanted him to shave it off He found out it was me, and when he confronted me, I just said, 'Father, maybe it's a sign'."

I busted out laughing, but it was interrupted by the maid, "Here is your tea, Your Highness." She gently paced the saucer holding the tea cup delicately on the table. She turned to me and roughly placed down my petit fours dish and glass of iced tea. "Enjoy", she had put on a fake smile and walked away. While we were eating and drinking he asked about what it was like to work under Lloyd. I then went on to stories about his mess ups. Unfortunately, I had to end this time with him and go back to the lab. We said our good byes (which resulted in him kissing my hand once again) and I drove back to the lab. When I arrived it was completely dark inside.

"Hello", I called out into the darkness while letting myself in, only to be responded by a swift flick of the lights…
