This was my original idea for Alchemy's Elements. The first time around, it was about Isaac and Mia meeting, and being trapped in a storm. Without further ado my original idea. . .

Snowbound

A singular wagon left the frozen kingdom of Imil that lay in the snow covered fields and white capped mountains of Goma Range. A small boy sat at the front of the wagon, driving the horses through the blinding blizzard.

Every few seconds he shook his blonde head to clear the powder from his hair and blue tunic. His yellow scarf danced to and fro in the harsh winds of the blizzard. A yell from within the wagon stirred his eyes from the road ahead as he heard the royal siblings arguing.

"Alex, I do not want to be married off to Lord Garet of Vale," A cerulean haired beauty shook her pale fist at a tall man within the corridors.

"Even the people of Imil know that he and the princess of Vault are in a relationship, forbidden as it may be."

Her sapphire eyes glowed in fury as she took a step closer to her indigo eyed and haired brother.

"Be quiet, Mia," Alex stepped forward and slapped Mia across her soft face. Mia held the red mark in contempt and glared back at Alex.

"You have no choice in the matter. Even if Lord Garet does not except you as his bride, we can always find another prince to marry you off to." His hand slowly came up to strike Mia a second time, but he was halted by a sudden screech from the brakes of the wagon.

"Isaac, what are you trying to do?" the boy could hear the prince yelling at him.

"I am sorry Prince Alex," he used the term sarcastically.

"The road is getting worse, and I do not want us to go over the side of the mountain."

Alex seemed taken aback for a moment, before responding, "Well do not let it happen again, unless you value your job." He disappeared back within the flap and Isaac reached to start the horses again.

The visibility was worsening as the night slowly passed, but still Isaac drove the horses on. He kept his entire attention focused on the road, making sure nothing else could go wrong. Isaac did not even hear the flap behind him open, nor did he see the person who sat beside him.

"Nice night, isn't it," an angelic voice made Isaac jump.

He turned to see Princess Mia sitting beside him and looking at the stars.

"Yes it is, milady," Isaac eventually overcame the shock of her beauty.

"There are no needs for formalities, Isaac. I am no different from you. She looked into his indigo eyes and smiled sadly.

"Do you mind if I sit with you and enjoy this fine evening?" Isaac was surprised to see a princess no less asking for permission to sit with him.

"I do not mind the company." Mia smiled and looked to the starry sky above. The repetitive sound of the wagon wheels hitting the ruts of the road slowly brought the tired Mia into sleep.

Isaac turned when he felt a slight pressure on his shoulder to find Mia asleep against him. He smiled, and brought an extra brown cloak from under his wooden seat to wrap around the resting girl. Isaac was almost done when he felt a hard pressure suddenly be closed around his neck.

"For this insult, you will lose not only your job, but your life!" The prince was holding a thin wire over his throat and pulling it tighter.

Isaac's vision blurred, but not enough for him to miss the upcoming sharp turn. Before he could see the outcome, though, Isaac blacked out.

A cold when blew over the ruins of an archaic wagon that sat upside down in the snowy rifts of Goma Range. A single body stirred from the cold powder. The blonde boy looked around, only to see the ruins of his wagon and career.

Isaac stood slowly, checking his body for injuries. He was not hurt, but he was worried for at least one of the other occupants of the wagon. Isaac could only see one body nearby, and ran hurriedly over to it. He brushed off the snow from the figure and smiled at the sight of Mia. Isaac gathered her up in his arms carefully, careful not to let her hair catch in the snow.

He looked around for any suitable shelter, for a storm was forthcoming. Lightning in the distance illuminated the shadow of a small cottage in the distance, and soon Isaac was sprinting towards it at full speed.

The tiny cottage that Isaac had seen was actually a small shack that had barely enough room to fit two people. He opened the dust door to step into the mangy room, sat Mia on the floor and quickly casted about, only to find one blanket.

"At least one of us should be warm," he turned his head and took off Mia's wet royal robed.

Isaac wrapped the cotton blanket around her pale, shivering body, and hugged her body close for a little warmth. He half-slept for a few hours, before Mia's slight stirring woke him.

"I am sorry for this Princess," Mia reached up a finger to silence him.

"What did I say about formalities?" Isaac smiled and started again.

"I am sorry, Mia. The wagon crashed a few hours ago and I think your brother died in the crash." Mia's smile faltered slightly, before it regained its gleam.

"You are wet! You will catch your death if you do not take of your clothes," she ignored his previous statement, and started to peel of his wet clothing. She quickly wrapped the warm blanket around his shivering body along with herself.

"I want to thank you for saving me," she wrapped her arms around Isaac's shoulders and drew him into a dazing kiss.

They both drew back breathless and both eyes glimmered with ecstasy. Both soon fell asleep with their newfound love to guide them to lighter days.

This is both my answer to steam-shipping and my original idea for Alchemy's Elements. Can any of my reviewers see the difference between the two?

I will also be taking requests for romance on-shots, but I will not pair Isaac or Mia with anyone else in them, sorry.
