Author's note: I guess some of you are probably wondering if C's dream was real or fake. Well it was real, and it's explained in this episode, and the next two. I think. But if you're still confused, don't be afraid to drop me a line.

"Well Prince Diamond," Wise Man said "How are things moving on with your plans for the princess?"

"Things are going quite well Wise Man. As of last night I spent about an hour with the girl, getting into her dreams,"

"Very good Prince. And you did not let her climax did you?"

"Of course not. She will of course want me even more if I won't let her complete her pleasure,"

"Very good. When will you proceed with phase two?"

"Tomorrow. I want to get in another, 'session' with her before I start with phase two,"

"You are not starting to enjoy this, are you Prince Diamond,"

"Of course not,"

"For you do know, that falling for the enemy is a surefire way to lose the war,"

"Of course Wise Man. Now if you will excuse me, I am going to prepare for tommorow," he said and walked out.

When he was a good measure down the hall he leaned his head against the wall, slumping in defeat.

My god, I AM falling for her.

The princess sat in her temporary room. Again trying to activate her sacred silver crystal for the 19,876,437th time since she'd been kidnapped.

"Moon Crystal Power!"

But still nothing happened.

I just have to accept it. Diamond was right. My powers are useless here.

She was about to lay down, and have a good cry, when the door burst open. And who should walk in but Prince Diamond himself. She stood up defiantly, waiting for another battle of wits. But he didn't give her a chance. He simply grabbed her and kissed her the same way he did before. And like before, she had no energy to resist him. But she able to push him away after about 2 minutes.

"What the hell do you think you're doing?" she demanded.

"Kissing you. I'd think that since I'M JUST about the only human contact you'll have for a while, you'd want to engage in a little human contact,"

"Well think again you little white-hared sadist. I said that I want out of here, and I meant it,"

"Well since that obviously not going to happen anytime this century, you better learn to start listening to me, little princess,"

He grabbed her hand and started to drag her to a closet.

"Get dressed. Now!"

"Why? I'm not going anywhere with you!" she shouted.

"Oh yes you are,"

He opened his 3rd eye and forced her to open the closet.

"Now pick out an outfit and get dressed,"

For a monent she was stunned. Not at the fact that he was ordering her around, but at the fact that the wardrobe was beautiful! The closet was bursting full of gorgeus ballroom gowns, ranging from every color and style. But she managed to pick out a beautiful short black, strapped, backless dress.

"Now change you clothes," he ordered.

"No! Especially not with you here,"

Again his 3rd eye glowed, as he forced her to slowly change into the dress.

"Now come here,"

He dragged her to a vanity table and sat her down in the chair. Then, he did the strangest thing that she could imagine. He brushed her hair.

What the hell is he doing?

She looked up at him.

And what is that look on his face?

He was looking down at her with this unusual look. Well, unusual for a criminal. His face held this tender look of affection, and peacefulness.

I've seen that look before. But where?

Then it dawned on her before. She had seen it not once, but many times before. She had seen Artemis give the same look to Luna. She'd seen Andrew give it to Rita and Melvin give it to Molly. She had caught Greg and Amy sneak glances to each other while they were helping each other study. And the same look, that both Darien and Justin had given to her. Several times.

It was a look of love.

Love it? Hate it? Review me please. And if you have the time, drop me an e-mail.
