The girls gasped.

"And don't protest!"James said sternly." I may not be the king of Enchancia, but right now, I am a king. "he said proudly.

Athena and Stephanie looked at each other frowning and pouting. Suddenly, they had wicked smirks on their face.

"I'm fine, James." Hildegard said.

"You are?" James said relieved.

"Of course" she said not looking slightly disturbed.

"If you love another girl, that's fine by me."

"She doesn't care if I ditch her. I thought she's not good for me." James thought.

"I am fine as well." Isabel said smiling.

Clio was legit crying. "Don't cry, Clio." James said softly approaching her, but she muttered "Don't you have to go to Viv or something?"

Sandy screeched: "You'll regret this!" and he stormed away.

James scratched his forehead. He finally chose, but it wasn't without consequences.

Clarinda was at a cafe. She was sipping on a coffee, and reading "The Complete Guide to How to Win Over A Boy."

She saw Miru with Karl, and said: "Oh, Miru, Karl. What an unlikely couple."

Miru said shoting her a poisonous glare: "Excuse me?"

"Uh, I mean no offense, but Karl, don't you remember the schools ball?"

"Uh, what schools ball?" he asked dumbfounded.

"Then let me jog your memory. It was two years ago."

Flashback

Sofia was with Amber. She was looking around when he bumped into a boy.

"Whoah there" he smiled.

And he went off, having that warm smile on his face. He had dark hair and hazel eyes. Mmm, he was familiar, but who was he?

A tall woman with dark hair said: "Welcome, students, to the Seven Secondary Schools Ball. This ball is hosted every seven years. Enjoy fun and games and getting to know each other!"

Victoria was with Miru. Miru bumped into a boy.

Brownish gold hair. Blue suit. Blue eyes. She recognized him from the visit from Sassinia not too long ago when they asked for help.

"Prince Karl." she said.

"Princess Miru." he bowed coldly and almost left...

"Whoah, there, what's the rush? Are you looking for something or someone?" Tori said holding his face.

"Yeah, I'm looking for my friend, if you don't mind."

"Nope" Tori said quickly. "Come on, Miru!" and she dragged her to the games center.

There, she said: "Alright, pals, who sing music, who go on adventures, who do alchemy, who sew, who are knights, do sports and rule. Let's play I game I invented. It's called "Seven Minutes".

"Why is it called that?" Sofia asked.

"Because you get to spend with someone random in the crowd seven minutes. You bond and stuff. It's as easy as can be. I have in a hat your names, now i'll magically spin it..."

And she took a wand and spun it around.

"And the first pair is Princess Sofia of Enchancia and Prince Hugo of Albuquerque!"

Sofia looked to see who was Hugo. Suddenly, he heard a mean but loving voice say: "Hello, Princess Clums."

She recognized the boy she bumped into. "H-Hugo?" she stuttered.

"That's me" he laughed.

Sofia couldn't be happier. Same with Hugo. Lorna saw this and gave Hugo a thumbs up.

"Next, we have Princess Amber of Enchancia and Princess Clarinda of Clarvis."

You can imagine what happened next. Both blonde, both spoiled, both with a knack for fashion...They both practically kept glaring at each other for seven minutes.

The list went on and went on.

"And finally Princess Miruna of Funtasia and Prince Karl of Sassinia."

Miru gasped happily. Karl went cooly to her.

"So, what kind of music do you like?" he asked.

"No way" Sofia laughed. "We both like strawberry tarts and pizza?"

"Please, Sofia, who doesn't like pizza?" Hugo asked. He looked at her, you know, that look filled with love.

"Karl, I have something to say to you." Miru said naively, blushing like crazy.

"Go on" he said raising an eyebrow.

"I love you Karl!"

Karl bursted in laughter to her confusion. "He he he, I never laughed like this! Oo, don't you know I love other girls, not you, so scram!" he said in a mean tone.

Sofia leaned on Hugo's shoulder. She was ready to confess her feelings to him when she saw something horrifying.

Karl said: "I would never love a weirdo like you, over my dead body, so I would spit than rather kiss you!" he wheezed.

Victoria came and said: "Okay, time's up! How did you-"

Only to be interrupted by Miru yelling in tears and running away crying.

Everyone witnessed that, including Clarinda.

Dani shot him a poisonous glare. "What? I'm not forced to love anyone I don't like you know." he said calmly.

End of Flashback

"Yeah, I don't remember this. This is a very nice invention, Clarinda. I would never hurt the love of my life." Karl declared.

And his eyes glowed blue.

While Miru was only glaring at her.

"Ha ha ha" said Clarinda. "P-lease! The whole EverRealm knows you hate her! And now the whole EverRealm knows you love her! For no reason! There's gotta be something." she said circling Karl, smirking. "Tell me then, if this is natural, why are your eyes glo-"

"Enough!" Miru said, kicking Clarinda and sending her flying away. Then she went to her and said: "My palace at seven."

Karl asked Miru: "Um, Miru?"

"Yes, sugar?" Miru asked annoyed.

"I always felt so strange lately. Like I feel I love someone else? And this dream with this girl with long blonde hair and lavender dress that says i'm under a spell and I should be wary of you? And what was she saying with glo something?"

"Karl, Karl, Karl" Miru laughed. "Dreams are not meant to mean anything. They're just random crap at night."

"Random crap I keep having again and again, huh?"

Miru realized Karl was onto her, so she said: "Uhhhh, let's not forget what your heart tells you. Isn't that what's most important? He he he. "

But that was just it. Karl's heart belonged to someone else.
