This... is going to be a fun chapter. XD Enjoy!


" I'm debating wether or not to leave the house Tima... "

Midnight said softly, braiding her older sister Fatima's hair. Fatima had asked for the help as, obviously, her hair was very long. And besides... Midnight LOVED styling all of her sisters hair. More so Fatima and Keira, as Katie very seldom let her touch her hair, but still. Braiding Fatima's hair was a great pleasure.

" Whys that Middy? "

" Valentines day is usually not a good day for me. I can never find a nice guy to spend time with, and more times than not some... strange guy flirts with me. Or I have to turn someone down who's perfectly sweet... "

" Ahh... I know that feeling all to well sis. It's the same for me. "

Fatima explained, standing up after Midnight tied the second bow, turning to face her sister.

" But that shouldn't stop you from enjoying the day. Besides... I'm sure you'll at least find some nice chocolate on sale. Maybe some nice jewelry too. "

Midnight chuckled, loving how her sister could always seem to look on the bright side. In funny ways as well. But perhaps she was right. There were other things to enjoy about the day. And maybe she'd get to try something new. And... NOT get hit on by a lot of boys. Heh... that last one was very unlikely, but here was to hoping!


Midnight smiled as she sampled some rather fancy, German chocolate, savoring the flavor. She had always enjoyed chocolate, of any kind really. She supposed she got that from her mother, but she didn't care either. What could she say? Chocolate was good.

The vampire slowly pulled away from the small stand, equally as slowly eating more of the delicious chocolate squares as she walked. She wasn't sure where she was going right now, but exploring seemed fun today. Besides, it was a bright sunny day, and the town was so full of life. It was great being able to see it all.

Suddenly the girl heard a dog like howl, causing her to jump horribly before turning around, surprised to find a dark werewolf staring at her. Smiling, and a red cartoon like heart seemingly beating in his only visible eye. Midnight bit her lip a bit, feeling a bit unnerved by this. She had a feeling she knew where this was going... the werewolf soon composed himself, seemingly trying to appear smooth.

" Name's Wulfric baby. What's yours? "

Midnight felt her eyes narrow, a smile spreading her face, finding that he might be... oh, what was the saying? Trying a little too hard to be smooth. And... quite frankly, it wasn't working.

" Ahhh... Midnight. "

" Midnight. Beautiful. "

Wulfric sighed, his tail wagging a bit behind him before he seemingly snapped out of it.

" Well, Midnight, how about me and you go do something fun? "

Darn... she knew that's where this would go. She didn't even know this wolf, and he was flirting with her. Oooh she didn't want to upset him... but...

" ... Sorry, but no. "

The wolf surprisingly didn't look too upset. Actually, he chuckled, taking hold of her hands. Midnight grit her teeth tight, swearing if this guy didn't get the hint...

" Aw come on Midnight. I'll show you a great time baby. "

The vampire ripped her hands away, glaring now. This wolf wasn't getting the message...

" I said no! "

" Heheh... you're even cuter when your mad. "

Midnight blushed brightly now, swearing she saw a bit of red. Glaring now, the girl simply slapped him on the left side of his face (so it wouldn't be too visible behind his hair) and rushed off. She didn't want to deal with that wolf anymore.

Wulfric simply stood there though, holding the afflicted area.

" She hit me with such force... "

He mumbled, before, surprisingly, grinning widely, his tail wagging quickly.

" Wow! Beauty and buff combo! Where has that girl BEEN all my life?! "


So the first part of her day wasn't going well. It wasn't the end of the world. Perhaps Midnight could find comfort in a nice lunch instead. So... she settled on a nice sandwich from her favorite little restaurant. A turkey tomato sandwich with lettuce, and cheese on rye bread. She loved this. With a nice cup of chamomile tea, it was a wonderful lunch. It was certainly taking her mind off of the werewolf from earlier.

As she took a sip, she looked up, finding an icy blue Novian looking around for an open seat. She remembered him from the hospital... she briefly saw him as she and Tima were leaving. She believed his name was... Ethan?

Looking around, she realized just how mobbed the little shop was, she decided to be nice. The vampire waved her hand the Novian's way, quickly getting his attention. Ethan blushed a bright blue before hurrying over to her table, slowly sitting across from her.

" Ah... th-thank you miss Midnight. "

Ethan mumbled, getting the girl to giggle.

" N'awww, you're welcome sweetie. "

The Novian's antennae twitched rather cutely, signaling he might've enjoyed that little nickname there. And it was truly adorable to see. Midnight looked to find the alien eating a sandwich similar to her own, but also with ham and no lettuce. Though she guessed she understood, as she heard that Novian's were heavy carnivores. Loved meat. She understood really.

" U-um... miss Midnight? "

Midnight looked up, finding the Novian still blushing a heavy blue blush. Yet she smiled calmly, waiting for the Novian to speak up.

" I just... wanted to tell you... you look... very lovely today, and... "

The princess bit her lip, immediately realizing where this was going. Taking a deep breath, Midnight forced a smile, placing her hand on his to calm him down.

" Ethan, you seem very sweet and all, but... I just... don't feel the same. "

Ethan sighed sadly, looking down, antennae now completely drooping.

" I... I understand... you could... do better than me anyway... "

" Oh Ethan- you're fine! You're sweet and kind, and any girl would be lucky to have you! Look, I might not be your ideal match, but somewhere, someone is. "

Ethan blushed yet again, getting slightly teary eyed, chuckling and covering his mouth.

" Th-thanks Midnight... "

Midnight smiled, glad she could make someone happy after turning them down. Especially since Ethan didn't seem very self confident. Hopefully he found the right girl soon. He really was a sweet guy. He deserved happiness.


After Midnight finished up her lunch with Ethan, she decided to simply walk around Deedstown again, hoping no one else tried to confess to her. She didn't enjoy turning people down and making them possibly very hurt and upset. It was such a horrible feeling, but she couldn't just say she loved them if she really didn't. She couldn't lie to them...

The girl looked up at the large clock in the park, finding it about 2 in the afternoon. She didn't know what else she could do for today, but also didn't really want to go home yet. The day was still fairly young.

" Oh hey Midnight! "

The girl jumped lightly, turning around to find that mummy kid racing up to her. The one that. Fatch was friends with from Scare School. Ra. Now, she instantly knew the kid had a crush on her. She'd seen the way he looked at her. She thought it was cute, but... there was the age difference. If he was at least 17 or older then it wouldn't be a problem but... he was only 12 by human standards. And she really didn't see him as more than a friend... she hoped he didn't try to confess to her. She really didn't wish to turn HIM down.

The mummy panted as he reached her side, smiling brightly. Cutely even. It made her smile a bit even.

" Hey Ra. How are you? "

" I'm good, thank you! Oh, I have something for you! "

Midnight blinked, wondering what the mummy could possibly have for her. The boy slowly brought out a BEAUTIFUL golden heart necklace from behind his back, holding it out to her. Midnight gasped and covered her mouth, frowning a bit sadly.

" Oh Ra... I-it's beautiful but... "

Ra pulled back a bit, looking nervous. But Midnight understood; Flash this was hard.

" I... I'm afraid I can't accept this... "

" B-but why? "

Ra asked sadly.

" It took so long to find and... I wanted to show you... how much I... "

Midnight gently placed her hand down on the child's shoulder, looking at him with soft eyes.

" And that there, is why I can't accept it. I'm afraid I... don't feel the same. You're a great guy Ra, but you should save that for someone you truly love. Who loves you back. I... I'm sorry... "

Ra sighed, looking down sadly, tears lining his eyes.

" I... I understand... "

Before Midnight could say anything else, the child slowly trudged away, causing the princess to cover her mouth in worry. She hoped the kid was ok...


It had to be about 6 now, and in truth, Midnight was ready to go home. The day had been unproductive, and hard. She had upset so many people today, and she didn't want to hurt anyone else. Besides, she didn't know what else to do.

As she turned to head home, she began to wonder how her siblings day was going. Fatch had been so sure he wouldn't find happiness today, Marco had been worried about his date, Fatima didn't know how to spend the day, and Dusk... had such a romantic day planned for his girlfriend Makenzi. She wondered how those two were doing. They had been going out for a while now, and she began to wonder if they were... getting serious yet. She certainly knew Dusk loved her enough. Always finding time for her, spoiling her, making her happy... heh... Midnight hoped they were having a good time.

As the girl turned, she quickly gasped, finding a large bouquet of red roses a mere few inches from her face.

" Pour tu. "

A voice said softly, an image soon emerging from behind the bouquet. It was Jake Moralez, who was smiling brightly, looking smooth. Midnight mentally sighed for 1: having enough with people flirting and confessing, and 2: finding herself actually... impressed by the bouquet.

" Although, they pale in comparison to your beauty. "

" Ah... thanks Jake but um... "

Midnight tried, soon finding the bouquet being pressed into her hands.

" Please take them my dear. "

Jake said softly, smiling brightly, his tail swishing behind him.

" I picked them just for you. De-throned them as well. "

" ... Oh, well ah... "

Midnight mumbled, feeling a little... touched by this. It was sweet of him... especially since she could see bandages on his fingers, meaning he must've cut himself horribly getting rid of the thorns. The princess took a sniff of the roses, finding they had a truly delightful scent.

" Thanks Jake... "

" It was no trouble my dear. "

Jake said softly, gently taking her hand. Midnight frown, hating to do this but... slowly, she took her hand away.

" Jake... really, I DO find you cute but... I... I don't really want to date anyone right now. "

Jake frowned lightly, his ears pressing against his head before he shook his head, throwing on a smile.

" W-well-! At least give me a chance to prove myself! Let me show you why you should even give me a chance to win your heart! "

Midnight felt her lips curl a bit, looking off to the side. Jake was sweet... and she wouldn't be DATING him... she supposed she could at least five him a chance... besides, what could really go wrong with him proving himself?

" ... Fine. But we aren't dating, so there won't be hard feelings if either of us find someone else, alright? "

Jake suddenly began hopping up and down, giving the cutest of doggie howls, and Midnight couldn't help but giggle at this. Maybe this wouldn't be TOO bad...


" Welcome home little sis! "

Fatima called as Midnight entered the house, smiling as her sister took off her high heeled boots.

" How did your day go? "

" Oh... same as usual. "

Midnight mumbled softly, looking down at the roses and smiling.

" Same as usual... "


Heh... this was fun. Midnight certainly had an "interesting" day indeed. Hope you all liked! Tell me what you think~! :D
