___"Good heaven's child, don't dawdle. We can't keep Endymion waiting."___
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
King William yelled exasperated at his daughter, this was the 3rd time in a row she did this, couldn't one of them learn? They were late as it was, and the king was stuck on the ground waiting for Rianet to come down. So far she looked like an average 12 year old, maybe had a few too many freckles, but was fine other then that. ____________________________________________________________________________
"I haven't packed or washed my hair, and father I get sea sick."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Rianet pulled at her long black hair, currently placed in twin braids, she looked down at her father. And made a face, she wasn't looking forward to the trip, and as her best friend had said earlier, at least it's worth it for the end result, but this time there was no good end result, she was stuck with that lousy prince! ____________________________________________________________________________
---"They soon will be arriving. Is that the respect you're showing??"---
"If you make me kiss her hand again, I swear I'm gonna be sick."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Queen Babbet had finally gotten through the door and saw her son's room looking atrocious and playing with his bow and arrow. She in frustration tried to keep her cool. He just ignored her and replied with the usual teen attitude.
____________________________________________________________________________
___"One day Prince Endymion will be her intended."___
---"Splendid."---
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
But all was better for the queen when William came; she put her positive attitude back into place. She now had reinforcement, and a reason to keep at her willful son. But was annoyed when Endymion and his best friend Jadeite decided to throw a tomato at her.
____________________________________________________________________________
"We've tried all summer but we just can't loose her."
"Hey fellas wait up."
"Quick, put on some speed."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Jediete and Endymion kept trying, even going down a banister to try and loose her, but she kept right with them. She only thought, there weren't that many kids around as it was, why not stay with people she knew?"
But they kept trying to get away from her. They finally climbed their tree fort and pulled the ladder away. ____________________________________________________________________________
"When picking teams,
"Or friends."
"I never choose her."
"You'd think she'd take a hint and learn to read."
"This really isn't fair."
"We really couldn't care."
"Boys it's all or none."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
She called from the bottom that it wasn't fair that they could hide out with each other, while she had no one. Still thinking the same as earlier, with boys, it's both of them or nobody to talk to.
____________________________________________________________________________
"This is not my idea"
"This isn't my idea."
"Of fun."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Rianet in a show of anger kicked a supporting beam and the tree house fell. All three of them got hurt. Rianet and her father left on horseback. As they went through town, the people were singing about them to pass the day along.
____________________________________________________________________________
[crowd.]
"Long before they met. Endymion and Rianet were destined to be wedded."
"However as anyone could see. The only point on which they didn't disagree. That the very thought of summer time was dreaded."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------
Both Endymion and Rianet had dreaded the future summers. Going to great lengths to stay away from each other. The only thing they could agree on it seemed. But the following summer was different then any they had experienced before.
