Fine rushed out of her room, excited to meet Prince Shade. She always believed he will be her "destined one." To her astonishment, this time he brought a friend-Prince Bright-of the Jewels Kingdom. "Prince Shade!" Fine called as she ran over to meet them.
Shade introduced his friend to Fine, "Fine, this is Prince Bright from the Jewels Kingdom. Bright, this is Princess Fine from the Sunny Kingdom."
Bright elegantly knelt down on one knee and kissed Fine's hand. Fine smiled awkwardly and pulled her hand away, after all Shade was watching. The only person that caught Fine's eyes were Shade, because he saved her life. Ever since, she'd always beg her parents to let them hang around each other.
They decided to play Fine's favorite game, hide-and-seek. Shade was "it" so Fine and Bright decided to hide. Fine decided to hide alone, so they decided to split up. Fine had a favorite place she loved to hide so that was where she went. She would always hide in a tree nearby and climb down and follow shade as he looked for her. She loved doing that.
Again, she followed and followed him until he went into a library and turned a corner. Afraid she lost track of him, she quickly ran after him. When she turned that same corner, Shade was nowhere to be found. "Shade?" No answer. Fine grew worried. "Sha-"
"Booh!" Shade jumped out.
"Kyahhhhh~!" Fine screamed.
"Shhh!" Shade tried to put a hand over Fine's mouth, but she was retreating away from him.
She tripped over something, "Ah!" Shade tried to pull her back, but ended up being pulled by her instead. They fell. Books flew everywhere. Fine laid with her back on the ground. Shade remained on top of her. They stood in that position for quiet a while, looking into each other's eyes. As seconds passed by, Fine's heartbeat grew faster and faster. When Shade started to lean in, Fine closed her eyes is he going to kiss me? Just thinking about it made Fine blush.
Suddenly, the door to the library opened, and Bright walked in. Shade quickly got up. Fine got up too, in disappointment.
"I thought you guys were taking too long...like you couldn't find me or something so I came to find you guys instead," Bright explained. "Oh! Sorry...um...If I was interrupting or anything."
"Oh nothing," Shade said.
Ouch. Fine thought. Does he not feel the same way, I do? No, no, that can't be. Fine thought, he was just going to kiss me!
"You came just in time!" Shade said. "Look what I found!" Shade walked to the place they were just laying down at and reached for a book. Oh,he wasn't going to kiss me. He just wanted to get a better look at the book. The more Fine realized, the more depressed she became.
"I'm tired. I'm going back first," Fine said.
"Can I borrow this book, while we stay for this week?" Shade asked.
"You're staying here for a week?!" Shade nodded. "Of course! Keep it!" Fine winked and left.
"What's so good about the book?" asked Bright.
"The lost brother," Shade read.
"What's so interesting about that?"
"Well, I don't think it's a story, I like the other books...look at these pictures and locations, "Shade said, "Fine had a brother? How come we've never seen him before? Does Fine even know about this?"
"You know what I think?" Bright said, "I think you hit your head too hard, when you fell on Fine."
"You saw?" Shade questioned.
"Everything," Bright smirked, "It's hard to believe you wouldn't like such a strong-minded and cute girl like her."
"She's more of you're type," Shade said, "An elegant Prince such as yourself can only be match with a Princess like Fine." Shade winked and left too. He was more interested in this new book he gained than love. He felt a strange attachment to it.
