Here is the Special! I think that you all are really going to like this one :D... Just Saying... So! Without Further ado, here is the August 24th Special!

The morning after was like a dream. I can't even express how much I loved her company and how she made me feel alive. We looked at the stars together and we danced, to what music? None. The silence was more beautiful than any ballad or love song that I have ever heard. And her lips. When they touched mine I felt home. Cliché, I know, but she is home to me. Ever since I was seven, she has been my home. I just hope that she thinks I'm home for her.

I crawl out of bed and I pick up the phone.

"Seven Eight Five." I whisper as I dial the last three digits of my mom's phone number into the landline that the palace gave us.

Three rings and I hear, "Alex?"

I smile at her voice, "Hi, Mom."

She sighs, "It's so good to hear your voice, honey, how are you?"

"I'm fantastic Mom, I love it here at the palace. Everything has so much grandeur." I say enthusiastically.

She chuckles, "I'm glad to hear that! Is it everything that you imagined?"

I smile, "Yes and so much more. The King and Queen are fantastic as well."

"What about Princess Emmalina?" She asks.

My smile grows wider, "Mom, she is even better in person. There is so much that I have to tell you."

I can sense that she is smiling on the other end, "Well, don't keep me waiting!"

I laugh, "OK, you will never guess what happened, so I'll tell you." I say, itching to get the words out, "So last night I heard that there was going to be a full moon, it was supposed to be the best full moon since decades ago. Anyway, I went to the observatory – Mom they have an observatory built into the palace! – ok, so I went to the observatory and I was looking around to find the lever or switch that made the ceiling retract. I couldn't find it, but I kept looking. I walked over to the door to see if it was by the entrance of the room but when I walked over to the door, it opened. It was Emma, standing there and she was gorgeous. I've met her before but it was never this unplanned. Usually, if we bumped into each other in the library or something all we said was a quick hello but this time we were completely alone and I was stuck looking like an idiot because I couldn't figure out how to retract the ceiling."

My mom starts laughing, "I bet that she didn't think that you were an idiot, Alex. Also, since when are you allowed to call the Princess by her nickname and without a title?"

I smile, "I'm getting there mom."

"Alright, honey. Continue" She says.

I think back to where I was in the story, "Ok, so I told her that I didn't know how to open the ceiling. She walked over to this small panel on the side of the room and flipped a switch and then the ceiling rolled back like a scroll. The night sky looked almost as beautiful as she did. Anyways, she walked over to this chest next to the door and grabbed a blanket that had a galaxy print all over it. She laid it on the floor and sat down. The next thing I know, she offered for me to sit with her. I – of course – said yes and I sat next to her." I take a deep breath, "As we were looking at the stars I got this idea. I asked if she wanted to dance. She asked, 'where's the music' and I said 'there doesn't have to be any'. She then took my hand and we started to dance."

"Alex, honey, that's wonderful!" She says, and I can sense that she has tears streaming down her face.

I smile, "Thanks, mom, but that's not the best part." I chuckle, "So we we're dancing and swaying around the room to this imaginary music and she leans her head on my chest. I set my chin on the top of her head and we just sway with each other. In that moment, mom, we weren't two people dancing. We were one person enjoying the presence of the room. I don't know what came over me but I kissed the top of her head. Her beautiful blonde hair was so soft, I have always dreamed of being able to feel it. Is that weird? Probably, but I didn't care. So I kissed the top of her head and she looked up at me and smiles. Mom, her smile is so much more than what she shows on T.V.. It's like an iceberg, on the surface you only see a few feet but underneath there could be hundreds more. That's her. On the surface she only shows the parts of her that can't be hurt, underneath she is so much more and that's what makes me fall for her." I smile thinking about what happens next, "So I smile back at her and before I know it her lips are on mine. They were so soft and they tasted like cherry lip balm. I couldn't understand how I was actually kissing the Princess, my mind started to piece together some idea but I couldn't think of any way that I actually ended up kissing her. But here I was, her in my arms, and her lips on mine. I started to smile and so did she."

I continue, "She had some hair in her eyes, so I brushed it out of her face. Her brown eyes were like melted chocolate and she had the slightest bits of freckles dotted around her nose. I couldn't help myself so I said, 'you are the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.' She then said, 'You're not so bad yourself, Alexander Micah Payne.' I tried to step away from her at that point but she pulled me into a hug. Mom, she is so delicate and fragile to me; I feel like if I hug her too tight she will break. But it was like we were made for each other because she fits perfectly with me. Perfectly."

She is crying now on the other end, "Alex, I am so happy for you."

I smile, "Mom, I can see it. I can see us getting married, moving in together, cuddling on the couch, waking up and giving her a good morning kiss, cooking our favorite foods against the chef's wishes, smiling for no reason, having the cutest little babies the whole kingdom has ever seen, watching our children grow up and seeing her as a mom, and never leaving each other's side. I can see us together forever, Mom. Forever." I take a deep breath, "I love her. I love her more than anything."

"Just by the way you said her name, Alex, I could tell that. I knew when you were seven or eight and all you talked about was your Princess, I knew that you would love her. I know for a fact, sweetheart, that she will love you too." She says.

"I hope so, Mom." I say hopefully.

"Alex, what have I always told you?" She asks, and I already know what she is going to say, "It may take a year, it may take a day; but what's meant to be will find a way."

I smile, because I know that Emma and I are meant to be.

Forever.

Can we all do a collective "Awwwe"? I got this idea one night at like 11 pm and I called my best friend to tell her. She was asleep, but trust me, when she heard this idea she was so excited too! Haha, I hope you guys are ready because next chapter we find out WHO SHOT EMMA! I am so excited! I've told like 3 people so it is so weird to me that you guys don't know, but then again, I haven't seen anyone guess who it is yet... So I am happy that I kept it a good secret!

So I will be answering reviews next chapter! But please keep reviewing, it makes my day!

Read, Review, Favorite, Follow, Fangirl, and I'll see you, for the last time for a while, on Sunday!

Happy Reading,

xoxo, Rosie.
