I was wet... My feet were muddy and I'm sure I must of been such a spectacle. You can laugh too, it you wish. I think I'm going to ignore you. You can remain uninformed. So stop interrupting my story!

My neck hurt, my back hurt and I just wanted to plop into the water and cry. Fishes are such slippery little things. I trudged out of the water and took a seat.

I heard a chuckle behind me and I turned towards it. Sunshine had his hand over his mouth, his amber eyes sparkling with amusement.

I folded my arms, spun on my heels and gracefully marched away.

Sunshine stood up from his spot and came after me. His velvet gloved hand grabbing my shoulder.

"No wait! I didn't mean to offend you Lady Ava." He protested handsomely.

I turned around and studied him. "But thats just it Sunshine, you did offend me." I replied evenly.

He seemed surprised. Had he expected me to forgive him immediately?

"I am sorry, Lady Ava." He said sincerely, lowering his eyes to the ground.

I had to admit, he was clever. He could put up a good act. Where was that irrational angry side of him. Wasn't he supposed to be a pompous brat?

I was clearly puzzled by his behavior but I recovered, putting a strict gaze on him.

"Well, being sorry won't fix anything! Sunshine, how are you going to prove to me that you are truely sorry?" I asked him in a low even voice.

His eyes widened. "What do you mean?..." His eyes lighted up with irritation.

A grin crossed my face. There it was! There was that amusing anger dancing in his eyes. Just in time too! I was beginning to mend my judgement on him.

But as quickly as it appeared it was gone. "I shall show you the right way of fishing." He said, giving a thin smile.

Oh great! How could anyone have such a shifting personality. Absolutely puzzling, no, I amend my statement, fascinating! He can stay as long as he wants!

I realized than that his hand was still on my shoulder. I brushed it off and gave Sunshine a full force dazzling smile.

"Excellent!" I gushed. Terribly un-like me. Oh, goodness! Was I turning into one of those monstrosities of court? No! I absolutely will not become one of them.

I leaned against a tree, curiously watching Sunshine. He had taken the rope and knotted it into tiny little squares. Now, he was kneeling by the water, in the shade of the tree.

I wanted to laugh out loud. I had gotten Sunshine to grovel on the ground, fishing for the fabulous me! This was too good to be true. I wondered if he was having any luck.

I looked away momentarily, trying to find entertainment, when a sudden splash was heard. I quickly looked over at Sunshine, wanting to see if he had fallen into the stream. He however had a delighted smile on his face.

I got up and stared at his catch. It was a giant fish. Fat, scaly, and valiantly flopping. I admired its bravery quietly. It always was hard for me to let an innocent animal die. I couldn't bear it, I looked away quickly.

"This is probably the biggest fish I have ever caught!" Sunshine proclaimed loudly.

Oh, I feel sorry for all the little fish! My stomach grumbled. I was going to puke! I grabbed my stomach and leaned against a tree already feeling the nausea from deep within.

Sunshine walked over to me. "Lady Ava what is the matter? Don't you like it?" He asked with clear concern.

I turned, knowing that I was being silly. It was just a fish! My instincts insisted on letting it go and so my stomach knotted up.

It was hard to hold back the tears that had formed behind my eyes. "Oh, please! Please, let it go!" I pleaded prettily. My hands clutching his velvet cloak and I stared up into his eyes.

Sunshine seemed surprised but he obediently turned around and released the fish into the water.

Immediately the voice in the back of my brain went away and I felt fine. I smiled at Sunshine. Oh, who was I kidding? I kissed Sunshine on the cheek.

"You really are a dear, Sunshine." I said sincerely. "Now please try and catch a little fish." I said gently.

Sunshine stared at me, clearly trying to form an opinion of me. His hand brushed the cheek I had kissed. I blushed and sat back down.

What a foolish girl I must seem to him! Mother would be quite scandalized. I was shamefully flirting with him. That was not at all in my personality. I should not like him. I can not like him. Oh, what a disaster this is turning out to be!

So, you can laugh, sneer, snigger, I don't mind. On second thought, I do mind! Drat you! I'm going to market! Good bye! I won't miss you!

Ha! I was done with them. They may seem pretty harmless, which they are, but, they are so annoying. I had to deal with them for eleven years. They are ignorant little birds in my opinion...

What? Is that what you think? Oh ho! I don't care a snippet, what you think! Now, stop interrupting me!

It was a crowd of them. Vain little peacocks, gushing and sighing. Really, quite annoying. Especially the ones, that go out of their way to flirt. I never had befriended them.

I was pushing and shoving my way through the crowd, when I looked up. My eyes land on familiar icy blue eyes. I freeze, because thousands of emotions run through my being. Attraction, hatred, hope, and nervousness.

Andrew... He was a young man from my past, who was currently on my black list. He is a filthy piece of dung... crude, but true. Who has betrayed me in the very far away past life.

I guess, I should tell you why I hate him. This said 'Andrew', was once my best friend, I trusted him with all things, except for one secret. Alright, alright, he was the master of my heart.

I lived life infatuated with him. Don't ask me why?! I was young, naive, and deathly in love. I asked him for advise, I tried to please him in any way. Anything you can think of.

It is his fault, dear Papa was dead. He stopped me. He stopped me from warning, papa. It had torn my heart into pieces. I had to get away from him, from Eris, from anyone connected to my fathers death.

I broke out of my thoughts and continued shoving my way through. I was careful to not drop the beautiful color of threads that I had bought. I paused momentarily, only briefly, when something or someone, pushed me into the road. Right in front, of Andrew and his horse.

I hardly know how to explain the seconds that passed very slowly. Andrews mount reared up into the air. I waited for death to come to me. But, it never came.

I stared down at the ground, when I felt a hand on my shoulder.

"I'm dreadfully sorry. Can you ever forgive me?" That voice was like velvet. I recognized it immediately.

Being angry I shoved off of the ground, right into Andrew. Quickly, I straightened my disarrayed skirts and sent him a glare.

"No, I can't forgive you! You spoiled the goods I just bought!" I said valiantly.

The crowd around me, stared at me in confusion. Sir Andrew, was apparently a very important noble. I could also feel those vain peacocks chattering around me. Words like...

"I would die to be in her position!" and, "She's crazy! He's gorgeous!" Not to mention all the other jealous claims made by any unknowing lady. I resisted the urge to, openly roll my eyes.

Sir Andrew just stared at me, blankly. I had never seen that expression on his face before. But, soon it shifted, open curiosity written on his face.

I bent down and started to pick up what was left of the beautiful colors. I am happy to say, my goods were perfectly fine. No one had trampled them and all they needed was a good washing.

Sir Andrew silently helped me also. I made a point, to remain oblivious to his presence.

I had almost achieved my goal of forgetting him, when he spoke up....
