Hi, it's me, whoopee. Soooo, it's my fourth chapter and probably the most difficult (for me) to type because I have to figure out a way to make Kahoko start a conversation with Len. *Sigh*. Well, I do hope that I am able to succeed. And if it ends up terrible, please forgive me. And I tried to make this really long. Whoopdeedoo!

Oh yeah, someone told me I put the word "toothbrushing" and I can't seem to find it! So could someone please tell me where it was?! I don't want to end up using wrong words! Oh well, what's a thirteen year old to do... And if you don't like the story, you don't have to read it you know.

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters.

(Must… resist… the urge… to… OMG! MY FOURTH DISCLAIMER! Gah! I did it again! Nuuuu!)


So uhhhh where was I? Oh right…

"Well, I personally think you need to take a break after all that practicing. It's unhealthy to have the whole day not resting." Kahoko said.

"Oh really? Well, I have been doing this all my life." He argued.

"Good point…" She didn't want to argue with him but she would have said, Well, you don't make any time for other stuff like family. But then his family is pretty small… "But I want to know more about you."

"Why?" He asked suspiciously.

"Uhhhh…Do you like cake?" She quickly changed the subject.

Len looked at her for a while before responding, "Too sweet."

"So what do you like then?"

"Coffee."

"Aw, that's no fun. It's so bitter."

"This is waste of time."

"No it's not." She said innocently, "I like talking."

"Well, I don't" He countered.

"Touché" She said. "But I really want you to loosen up a bit. I don't mean to sound all motherly – yuck - but I think you would be a better king, when you do become a king, if you were nicer."

"Why do you care anyway?"

Kahoko froze. She didn't know how to steer away from this one. Again with this? This is so hard! I blame you bracelet for this!

"Because," She fished her mind for some excuse, the only thing that was left was the truth. Or was it? "of this bracelet." She said. It was true. Right?

"Oh really?" He said doubtfully.

"Yeah."

"How?" He questioned.

"Ehhhh…uhhhh… See how it glows when it's near you?" She brought her right hand near him and the bracelet shined brighter, when she brought it away again, it dimmed slightly. She kept doing it again and again. And again. She ended up getting carried away with it. "Oh my gosh, I never realized how cool it was…"

"Erhem."

"Eh what? O-oh right… What were we talking about again?"

"The bracelet."

"Oh yeah, well, it's true that it…uhhh…likes you…?"

"I really think that this is a waste of time. So if you would excuse me, I have to continue practicing."

Kahoko sighed yet again. This was really difficult. Why couldn't the curse be like having weird neon green hair or why couldn't he have some kind of small raincloud that followed him wherever he went? Well, that second one could help him shower. Yeah, Squeaky clean. She gave up for today and went to look for somewhere to sit down. She didn't want to go inside the castle, she thought maybe that she would just get lost. Staying here the whole day was enough but she didn't want to stay overnight. She might get even more lost and would have to sleep somewhere in the hallway.

She found a bench somewhere in a garden that she also found (XD). Around her were many beautiful flowers. She admired everything around her, even the fancy fountain statue thing in the center. I sure wish I could have a garden like this at my place. Too bad there's no space to keep it. Nor do I know where to find such a gardener – Her thoughts were interrupted when she heard her stomach grumble loudly. She hadn't eaten her lunch yet. She groaned when she realized that she had forgotten her basket at the entrance of the gate.

She stood up to get her basket and when she turned to direction of the entrance that she usually enters with, she saw Queen Misa looking at her, smiling widely, waving. Kahoko waved back and approached her. "Hello, your majesty." She said and bowed.

"No need to bow."

"Oh, okay." Kaho said as she stood up straight again. "I just need to get my lunch, I forgot it at the entrance. Do you mind if I sit here? It's lovely."

"No, not at all. Mind if I join you?"

"Uh sure! But my food isn't much… Just wait there and I'll get it, if that's okay with you."

"Okay, I'll wait." And Kahoko left temporarily to get her basket.

When she came back, she saw Queen Misa sitting on the bench. "Hi, I'm back." And she sat beside her.

"Hello again." Misa greeted. (It does get tiring typing Queen in front of Misa all the time.)

"So…" Kahoko said casually, "Do you like sandwiches?"

"It depends on what kind it is."

"Cheese."

"Oh I like that."

"Well, you're in luck." Kahoko said.

"Oh really?"

"Yep! Now time for lunch! Are you sure you want to eat with me? I'm sure that there's better food inside…" Kahoko said.

"Nah, I want to eat with a girl for once and it seems like a good idea to eat outside on a beautiful day."

"Indeed it is." Kahoko agreed and then she handed her a sandwich hesitantly. "Here you go…"

"Thank you." Queen Misa said politely.

"You're welcome."

"Don't mention it."

"I won't."

"Won't what?"

"Mention it."

"Mention what?"

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

They looked at each other for a brief moment and then both started giggling.

"Heehee, you're so cute, Kahoko." Queen Misa said.

"I could say the same about you." Kahoko replied.

"It sounds awkward when a person younger than me would say that to me."

"But you really are!" Then Kahoko's stomach grumbled. "Oops, we forgot to eat."

Misa nodded and they started eating.

"This is delicious," Misa commented, "Where did you get this?"

"I made it." Kahoko said, trying to sound humble, she didn't like to sound arrogant because she wasn't.

"Oh. You should make some more for me sometime."

"I'll be delighted to since I will be 'visiting' everyday. I just need Mozartrella cheese and bread. Those are all the ingredients."

"I never knew it was that simple."

"Yep. After all, I am a girl and we have to learn how to do all these things. It's hard to sew all your clothes as well..."

"You sew your clothes as well?"

"Yeah. You wouldn't know how little clothes I have. I can't seem to afford enough materials. But I guess my works are something to be proud of, after all it was made with love." Then Kaho smiled.

Misa smiled back. "I think the bracelet was right about choosing you."

"R-really? But I have trouble talking to Prince Len…"

"I'm sure you'll get over that."

"You really think so?"

"Yes."

"Okay then, I won't give up."

"Good."

After a while, they were done, They just continued chatting about random things.

Soon, night fell and it was time for Kahoko to go home. When she arrived, she did her "I'm home!" announcement.

"Hello, Kahoko, how was your day?" Her mom asked.

"Uhhh…It was…" Kahoko didn't know how to describe today. First she found out that Prince Len was cursed and then she had lunch with Queen Misa. "fine." She said lamely.

"Oh okay, well, go ahead and wash yourself while I prepare your dinner."

"Okay." Kahoko was already going inside when she responded.

After she had washed herself, she went out to the dining room. It was soup. AGAIN. Oh come on! Why can't Mom give me something different for dinner?! But Kahoko never told this to her mom though she never quite understood why she always had to have cabbage soup for supper.

She went back to her room to sleep after she had her supper and cleaned her teeth. She sat on her bed for a while and sighed. What a day. She thought, So I'm gonna be doing this every day? And it seems impossible to do since Prince Len is sooo… like that. Then she laid down on her bed and fell asleep right away.
