This is when things start happening. Danny and Sam are fake dating, so remember when I say this is not a "date". You will see why I say that. Review please!

Danny had everything planned out. He took Sam to see King Jack and he seemed impressed. Sam was a princess and since Danny was in love with the princess, there was no reason to say 'no.' Jack set up Danny's and Sam's first date. The kids went inside the carriage before it trotted off down the road.

Inside the carriage, Danny and Sam started laughing and talking about what to do next. Danny explained how the whole dating thing was going to work out. They were obviously going down to the gardens on the east side of Amity. Once they got there, they would separate and find someone each of them could date or hang out with. Since the gardens had guards guarding outside of the area, Danny and Sam could separate without the guards' knowing.

The only issue to the plan was getting the right date. Not that there was nobody that would or wouldn't be interested in the prince or princess. The nobles were just as rich as the King and Queen, just not as famous. Finding a date was an issue, because not every man or woman would be the right one and there was a chance Danny or Sam would have his/her heart broken. Finding true love was harder said than done.

The carriage stopped and the coach let Danny and Sam out before they walked inside the gardens.

"Meet me at the center when the shadow of the trees reach the tables," Danny told Sam.

Sam saw the shadows of each tree inside the gardens. The sun was over her head, so it was noon. When the shadow met the tables, it would be the late afternoon. Meeting there was an excellent plan.

"Very well. I will see you later," Sam agreed before the two kids separated.

Danny walked to the north of the gardens and Sam walked toward the fountain at the east. Danny was nervous about talking to a girl or even a group of girls. He scanned around the area. Any one of those girls could be the future queen of Amity. Being a prince, Danny knew all of their names. There was Angela, the bright witty girl who loves gossip. She was too talkative and Danny couldn't have a gossip girl be queen. Shelby had too much acne.

There was a dark skinned girl named Paulina. She was very beautiful and she didn't talk too much. Danny decided to make his move. He walked toward the girl while she was observing the small pond.

"Hello," Danny greeted.

"Hi. Do you need anything?" Paulina asked in curiosity.

"No, I was just gazing at the pond."

"Ah. It's beautiful, but I like flowers better. Especially lilies."

"I used to love dandelions. I would pluck one out, make a wish, and then blow on it. I thought if the seeds bloom, your wish will come true."

"I heard of that tale. Have you ever heard of peddle plucking?. You pluck each peddle to see if the person you love loves you or not."

"I heard of that. My sister used to do that."

"Did she win her man?"

"Na. Jazz was eight and she was hoping if she did that, her prince charming will come and put her on a white horse."

"The things you can imagine with flowers."

"I know."

Danny and Paulina talked for several hours. Meanwhile, Sam was scanning the area looking for a guy. The guys were all not right for Sam. One was too cheery, one was too braggy, and another was too picky. There was no guy of Sam's interest. Sam was just about to give up when she was met by a random guy who had a nice smile.

"Pardon me, are you lost?" The guy asked.

"Oh no. I'm just looking around. I'm Princess Sam of Casper," Sam introduced before offering her hand for the gentleman to kiss.

"The pleasure is mine. I'm Elliot, by the way," Elliot introduced himself before kissing Sam's hand. "So, what brings you all the way out here.

"My parents were arranging a marriage for me and I didn't want to be forced to marry a random guy I don't know."

"Ah. You know, my cousin had his marriage arranged. He's okay now, but it took a long time to adjust to his new bride."

"I'm guessing he did not know her."

"Actually, they grew up together, but his bride has allergy to curtain flowers and you'd be surprised how big my cousin's garden is."

Elliot and Sam started chuckling. Sam was picturing a guy about sixteen who was giving his wife flowers and her face breaks-out on their honeymoon.

"I hope he didn't give her flowers on their honeymoon."

"He didn't. In fact, he didn't know about the girl's allergic reaction until they went to their new home. The poor lady was miserable. She wouldn't stop sneezing."

"I thought it was the itching type of allergic reaction. That's what happens to me when I touch curtain clothing. My skin turns red and starts itching like crazy."

"Oh my. What type of clothing are you allergic to?"

"Wool."

"Then I'll remember to never buy you a coat made out of sheep wool."

"Or animal fur."

"Are you allergic to those too?"

"No, I just cringe at the thought of wearing dead animal."

Elliot and Sam laughed, this time a little more louder. Sam enjoyed her conversation with Elliot and hoped he would be the right guy. He was willing to court with Sam for a little while before she realized the shadow from the trees were covering half the tables. Her eyes widened.

"Oh no. I have to go. It was nice talking to you. Maybe we can do this again sometime," Sam smiled.

"Yes. I enjoyed our talk too. How about we meet tomorrow?" Elliot offered.

"Of coarse. We can meet here again. I'll see ya then," Sam said before saying her goodbyes and leaving. She quickly walked to the center of the gardens where she was to meet Danny.

Danny was obviously not there. Not yet anyway. Sam waited and waited for an hour or thirty minutes before Danny finally showed up. From what Sam could tell, Danny was just as distracted. He had found a girl.

"Did you find someone?" Sam asked.

"I did. Her name's Paulina," Danny replied.

"Mine is Elliot. I guess since we found our soul mates, we don't have to fake date anymore."

"Not yet. This is just our first day. We need to make sure our soul mates stay our soul mates until marriage. The people we just met are probably prostitutes. If we are going to marry someone, it needs to be one that we know and I mean REALLY KNOW."

"Ok, just one problem. The people we chose as our dates know who we are. If they find out that we're dating, they might take as us playing each other."

"You bring up a good point. Part of dating someone is telling them everything about ourselves. We could just tell them the truth... or we could just only have our parents think we're dating. The rest of the people don't have to know. We're not even supposed to go farther than holding hands anyway."

"Great plan. There's also the problem of our Balls. If our dates go to those Balls, we are in deep dodo."

"The next Ball won't be until Christmas and that is six months away. By that time, we'll be ready to marry whoever we choose as our date."

"You bring up a good point. The next Ball is six months and by that time, this fake date will be done for."

"You know Sam. We make a good team. I wouldn't mind having you as my maid of honor."

"And I wouldn't mind having you as my best man."

"Let's get back before Mom and Dad come looking for us and find us with someone else."

"Very well, your majesty."
