First off, I'm sorry about this chapter. I am out off ideas and half-asleep. I will try to fix it up and make it better later. I am posting it because then, it will be staring me in the face till I fix it. I think there will be only one more chapter after this, then I plan to write Second Encounter (Glitch meets DG) Does anyone have any ideas to make this better before I fall asleep? Speaking of sleep, do you realize how many times that word is said in this ever so short chapter? yawn so sleepy…zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
First Encounter
Chapter 4
After tossing and turning for a while, DG sat up in her bed. It was no use, she couldn't sleep. Tomorrow, the royal family was leaving the palace to take a short vacation at a place called Finaqua.
Pulling back the covers, DG got out of her soft, fluffy bed and placed her bare feet on the cool floor. She glanced over in her sister's direction before grabbing the candle on the nightstand. It was no use trying to wake Az. When she was asleep absolutely nothing could wake her.
It was scary outside their room, so quiet and dark………
………………………………...
"Ambrose." came a sing-song voice, "Ambrose! Wake up! Please…."
Groggily he rolled over and pried open his eyes. DG was standing there in her nightgown, with a puppy-dog look on.
"Are you ok?" he asked, sitting up with his short brown hair sticking out all over the place.
" I can't sleep." she stated, staring at him expectantly. Hm, what would help? Of course!
"Well, would you like to go have some Hot Chocolate with me? That doctor yelled at me for half-an-hour about keeping warm and it is a bit cold tonight, don't you think?"
She nodded happily, her small face lighting up, "Yeah! Let's go!" Grabbing his arm, she pulled him toward the kitchen.
As they walked DG realized that was the first time she had ever seen Ambrose asleep. That was…..odd. The busy inventor was normally up all the time, working on something.
"Why were you asleep?" she questioned, out of the blue, while they turned into the main hall.
He laughed, "Weren't you the one who said I need to sleep more? I finished the Sun Seeder project today, I thought I deserved sleep."
Kidnapping two cups of the warm liquid, the advisor and the princess made off like thieves all the way back to his room. Ambrose plopped down onto the small bed and DG climbed up with her chocolate and curled up next to him like a kitten.
"Ambrose?" she yawned widely.
"Yes?" he answered from above, yawning also. (still contagious)
"Thanks for being here for me." she whispered, drifting off into sleep with a tiny smile, "and for keeping the dolls."
