A/N: Hey guys! Sorry for the wait. With so many things happening... it would have just sounded like a lot of excuses. Anyways, here's the next instalment.
Enjoy!

Disclaimer: Un-hun, yeah, no. Pascal makes an appearance in this one!

Confiding in a Chameleon

"Happy Christmas Annabelle," he whispered giving her one more kiss before closing the door. Annabelle's face was a red as a tomato as she walked back to her room. "Did that really just happen?" she was constantly asking herself as she touched her fingers to her lips for the millionth time. Opening the door to her room, Annabelle fell down onto her bed, still unable to comprehend what had just happened.

Three Days Later

Annabelle collapsed onto her bed grateful to finally have some time to herself and her thoughts. Garrett had been on her mind constantly the past couple of days intruding her thoughts as he pleased. It didn't help that every time his name crossed her mind their kiss did too. Oh Garrett, she thought I miss you. I wish I could talk to you right now. I could really use some perspective right now...

She was so into her thoughts that she didn't feel the tiny tail that had began to poke her side multiple times. What she did feel was something wet and slimy being stuck into her ear.

"Eehah!" she screeched and jerked as shivers went down her spine. Annabelle looked over at the culprit and smiled. "Pascal!" she eyed picking up the green chameleon in her hands.

"Squib!" he said (What is with you Fitzherbert's and ears?)

"Hey it's not MY fault that you had to stick your tongue in dad's ear," Annabelle said petting him. Like her mother she and her brother had inherited being able to talk to animals, which was usually Pascal.

"Squib, squeak?" Pascal chirped (Yeah well, so why is your face all red?)

"Oh well… Pascal can you keep a secret?" Annabelle asked her face growing redder by the second. The chameleon nodded "I've had my first kiss" Annabelle admitted quietly as her smile grew wider with every word. She got up off of her bed and began twirling around with the chameleon in her hand. Finally she ran outside to her balcony and leaned on the snow covered railing ignoring cold snow that was crawling up her sleeves. She gazed at the sparkling ocean as the sun set on it, allowing the light to dance upon the snow covered rooftops of the town. Pascal watched the girl remembering the many years ago that Rapunzel had gotten her first kiss from Eugene. Rather, Rapunzel had kissed the man… Pascal chuckled at the memory before turning towards the girl.

"Squawk," Pascal asked (When?)

"Three days ago," Annabelle replied absentmindedly her mind still on Garrett as the wind gently blew her long hair around her.

"Squeak?" Pascal asked jerking Annabelle from her thoughts. (From whom?)

"My best friend, Garrett," she answered in a day-dream-like state as she rested her chin on the palms of her hands. She took no notice of the cold wind that was blowing around her. Pascal nuzzled up against her elbows.

"Squeak, Squib, Squeak!" Pascal exclaimed (Wow, I didn't think you liked him in that way, was it a good kiss?)

"Honestly, I knew that there was something there when I met him two years ago… but I just thought that it was as friends. But, now" she looked towards the sea "It's so much more than that. I mean," she looked back at the chameleon. "I let him kiss me twice!"

"Squeak, Squib?" Pascal asked (I see, now why must I keep this from Rapunzel?)

"Because, I want to tell both of my parents when we are ready. This is all so new and neither of us know what we are doing…" Annabelle trailed off gazing at the ocean.

"Chirp! Squeak," Pascal exclaimed (You're only 10! And you're the Princess.)

"That doesn't matter! I like him and he likes me!" Annabelle protested. The chameleon was saved from responding from a rough knock that came from her door. Annabelle sighed, picked up the chameleon and walked over. "Yes?" she asked opening the door it was her father. "Dad!"

"Annabelle, it's time for dinner," he said holding out his hand to her. Smiling she gripped her hand and allowed him to lead her to the dining hall. Maybe I'll tell mom and dad soon.

On the way Annabelle looked down a hallway and saw a woman in red turn the corner suddenly.

Yeah, it's shorter than usual... but it needed to be here. Anyways, with school starting next week, the chapters after this one wont be updated as soon. BUT I will do my best!
