"Hmmm...well, that is odd. I have an idea, Conrad. Tomorrow tie your hat down with a
string. I'll come personally and see about your little *witch*. You had better go home
and rest now, young man. Sounds like your days have been busy." The king chuckled
and waved the boy away.


"NO! That isn't what I asked for at all! Go back and TRY AGAIN!" The vain little
princess's screams were ringing through the castle. The king shook his head and sighed.


"And she was supposed to be mild and sweet tempered. Oy!" He clapped his hand to his
forehead in disbelief.


**********************************************************

Meanwhile, Mina was skipping through the marketplace, buying food for herself and
Artemis. She had finally received some payment for her services, and was delighted.


"Look, Artemis! Grapes!" Mina chose a nice, pretty purple batch. "How much for these,
ma'am?"


"For the beautiful lady, only 3 pence."


"Oh, goody!" Mina paid the lady and walked toward the fountain that sat in the middle of
the square.


Now, special attention should be paid to this fountain. You see, it was the oldest
architectural work in the city. It was at least 2 stories tall and the water coming from it
was said to be the purist in the land! The water was rumored to come from a holy river,
and it was supposed to have healing properties. Unfortunately, the lovely fountain
(covered in sculptures of angels and flowers) was destroyed about a decade ago in a war.
But, that is another story.


Mina sat on the edge of the fountain eating her grapes in perfect bliss. Occasionally, she
would share one with Artemis.


"Could you spare a grape or two for me, little goose girl?" a deep voice to her right
asked.


She spun around to see who had addressed her so, and found Kunzite standing there.
"Oh! It's you! Of course you may have some grapes. Here, take some." She handed him
what was left of her bunch.


He sat beside her and popped a grape in his mouth. "Mmmm...you picked well." He
turned and looked at her and smiled.


Mina's heart was doing flip-flops. "So, what are you doing in town?"


"Actually, I came in search of you." He grinned at her again and she blushed. "I was
going to see about our maybe having dinner. Do you think we could?"


"Oh Kunzite! I'd love to have dinner with you!" Mina squealed with delight.


"Come on then. But, wouldn't it be better if I knew your name, too? Can't you tell me
now?"


"Hmmm..." Mina was still afraid, but she would couldn't resist Kunzite's puppy-dog-
eyed look. "Okay. My name is Mina."


"Mina! What a lovely name! Why would you ever want to hide that?" Kunzite said in
reply. He didn't wait for an answer, however. He simply grabbed her hand and led her
toward a nice café nearby.


Mina turned and waved to Artemis, saying, "You can find your way home, like a good
kitty, right? Bye-bye Artemis!"


***********************************************

The next morning Artemis woke to find Mina asleep on top of her covers, still in her
clothes. This was convenient, as she was already 20 minutes late.


"MINA! Get up! You're late again!" He yelled in her ear.


"Oh, Artemis. You awoke me from such a beautiful dream." She sat for a moment trying
to remember her wonderful dreams. Then, all of a sudden, the meaning of the cat's words
hit her. "Oh no!" She arose, grabbed a cloak, and ran out the door as fast as she could to
meet Conrad.

That's it for this time. Later days!
