Mia-

Morning once again, no one is awake yet, which sucks because now I am sitting here doing nothing. I am really exhausted, but I can't sleep well anymore because of the dream. I have a really bad feeling that my prince is Kenny or maybe it is someone I don't know yet, or maybe it is not even real, but if it isn't Michael then I don't want him. Maybe Michael is up, I am going to go by his room and see if he is up, I hope he is because I want to spend some time with him.

I walk to his door and hear soft music playing in the background and then I here him curse, I guess he tripped on something. Oh crap his door is opening, where should I run to?

"Mia, what are you doing up?" he asks, smiling at me, my heart is once again melting.

"I am ummm... well I couldn't sleep and its light out so I got up," I say, feeling so stupid and I know I am bright red.

"Well I am just running to the bathroom, you can chill in my room until I get back, if you want to that is," he smiles at me and I nod my head and walk into his room.

His room is really nice, it is always clean and it smells like Michael. I lie on his bed and feel what Michael sleeps on every night, and I have to say, it is very soft I feel like I could sleep here right now.

"Comfy?" he asks as he walks back into his room.

"You scared me."

"It is my room you know," he says with a chuckle.

"Yeah I know you just startled me and yes I was quite comfy."

Michael came to sit down beside me on his bed and lays down, so I lay back down. He rolls over onto his right side and looks at me.

"Thermopolis, I just want you to know you are really one of the coolest and prettiest girls I know," he says nervously.

"Thanks Michael, you're really awesome too," that is the understatement of the century. I wonder why he just blurted that out though.

He leans over me and puts his arm on my left side and leans down. I swear my heart stopped, I thought he was going to kiss me, but I will never know because Lilly walked in and scared the living daylights out of us.

"What are you guys doing?" Lilly screamed.

"I was just getting something off something on her nose Lilly, chill," he says as if nothing was about to happen. Maybe nothing was going to happen, I feel really sad and disgruntled now.

"Lilly you were still asleep so he asked me to come in here and I had something on my nose and he was getting it off for me, sorry if it inconvenienced you in anyway," I knew I was sounding like a bitch, but I didn't care because I really thought Michael was going to kiss me, now I feel as though I got my hopes up for nothing, although he probably was going to get something off my face anyway.

I walked out of Michael's room and Lilly followed me. She seemed like she wasn't really that mad, but I sure was, and I wasn't sure why.

"I know you like my brother," she whispered to me once we were out of Michael's earshot.

"No I don't!" I said, my nostrils flaring like crazy.

"Don't deny it, I could tell by the way you were looking at him back there, it is okay you know, just don't let it happen again," she let out a forced laughed and smiled at me.

"Well it doesn't matter anyway because I have no chance with your brother," I sighed after I said that and she gave me an evil grin, but replied with nothing.

"I could tell him for you," she said grinning now.

"Don't! Oh my gosh I don't want your brother to hate me!" I said in a panic, being with Michael as friends was better than being with no Michael at all.

"I can't promise that," she said.

"What?! You can not tell him, I will be so mortified," I begged, but she just kept on smiling.

Finally I gave up and told her I had to go home anyway. So I left and headed towards the loft. I guess because I was really tired from my lack of sleep, being stressed out about Lilly telling Michael, and the heat, are the reasons I passed out on my way home because before I knew it I was being carried by Michael to my place, I have no idea how he got here, but I didn't care because he was carrying me, plus I didn't realize the severity of the situation, so I was really happy.

"Mia, Mia your awake!" Michael said worriedly and set me down on a near by bench on the sidewalk. "Are you okay? What happened?" he asked, he seemed so worried and it was cute.

"I just have a headache," I said and tried to sit up, but that made the pounding worse.

"Don't sit up; be careful, you might have a concussion." I lay back down and looked at Michael hovering over me. "I'm going to take you home okay and then we will see what doctor or even hospital you should go to."

"I hate hospitals," I whined.

"It will be okay, I will stay with you if you like," he said sweetly, smiling down at me.

"That would be nice, I feel so stupid and girly that I can't even walk home," I said to him and he smiled.

"I don't mind."

"Did Lilly tell you anything about me?" I asked, praying that she hadn't spilled my beans.

"Tell me what?" he asked, looking completely baffled, so I knew she didn't, thank you god.

"Never mind."

"Alright Thermopolis, let's just get you home, just relax," he said and kept walking, he seemed really tense, but Mia just buried her head in his chest. "Oh, you better not fall asleep on me that would be bad if you had a concussion."

"I won't."

We finally arrived to the loft and mom and Frank were out, but the note said they just went to the store to pick up a few snacks, so they should be home anytime.

"Mia, where was Lars, you know you shouldn't leave anywhere without him, you should be glad I found you, I think you hit your head on the pavement," he said glancing at my head.

"Yeah I did, I have a bump, and I am tired of having a body guard and being babied, but I guess I know why since I can't even walk home on my own." I sighed and looked at me feet as I was lying on my couch.

"Let me get you ice," Michael got up and walked over to the freezer and pulled out ice, wrapping it very carefully in paper towels. "Here, where does it hurt?"

I pointed to the back of my head and he placed the ice on it very tenderly. It hurt at first, but after a while it numbed and helped the throbbing subside.

"Why were you out Michael, how did you find me?"

"Oh, um... well," he began blushing like crazy and looked so nervous. "I just wanted to talk to you and make sure you weren't mad or anything about well you know and then I saw you collapse and ran after you." I was assuming the you know was how he almost kissed me.

"No I am not mad at you, I have no reason to be," I said and smiled at him. He smiled back at me and then seemed kind of distraught. He leaned over me again, one arm on the arm of the couch and the other on the back, and we were inches away. Finally we were going to kiss, there was no mistaking it this time, and the anticipation was even worse the second time around, but of course it was interrupted, because nothing ever goes right in my life. We heard the door handle turning and he immediately stood up and looked towards the door.

"Mia, Michael, what are you doing here?" my mother asked, she sounded angry I let a boy in, even if it was Michael, especially since she almost saw us kiss.

"Mia fell down on her way home today, she passed out, I think she may have had a concussion, I took her here and iced her head to help with the lump she received from hitting her head on the pavement, I thought it would be best for you guys to handle it. Now I am here just keeping her company until you returned, I will leave if you would like me to," he said this so calm and coolly, he always deals with any situation with an ease.

"Thank you very much Michael, you can stay here if you like, I don't know if you would enjoy sitting at the hospital too much," Helen said kindly.

"I will come back later and make sure everything is alright with Mia, thank you very much for the offer," Michael said. "I will see you all later," and with that Michael left and I was on my way to a 3 hour wait in the hospital.

Michael-

I left the loft really worried for Mia and hoping she would be okay, but she seemed fine to me, which was a relief. I walked to the nearest store and bought some flowers for her, as well as a cute stuffed cat. I hoped she would like the gifts and I hope they make her feel better.

I walked back to their loft and waited, it gave me time to think, to think about Mia. She really was the most naturally pretty girl I have ever met, on the inside and out, she makes me so happy and she has no idea. It is crazy that I can't just ask her out.

I almost kissed her twice today, I really want to touch her precious pink lips to mine, but they are always out of reach, I can't believe I even got the balls to do that, what if she rejects me? I see car lights, they are home.

Mia-

I was so shocked to see Michael waiting for me, I really expected just a call at the least, so you can understand why I was so happy. The doctors told me I was well and should just avoid strenuous activity for a couple of days, and to ice my bump.

"Mia, how are you?" Michael asked.

"I am okay, the doctor said I didn't have a concussion, I just need to relax for a few days," I noticed he was holding flowers and a sute little stuffed kitty. Were the gifts for me?

"Oh, these are for you, I hope you feel better soon," he handed me the flowers and kitty.

"Thank you Michael," Frank and Helen had gone inside and it was just the two of us on the front stoop.

"Well I should go," he said looking away.

"Do you want to come in?"

"Well I do, but I should probably be heading home," he said, his eyes now looking directly in mine.

"Oh, okay, well thanks for waiting, I guess I will see you soon," I was trying not to sound too disappointed.

"Before I go, there is something I have got ask you," he said.

"Yes?"

"Well, you know what, it isn't important, I will see you later," and with that he ran off. What was he going to say?

I walked in and Frank and my mom were already in bed so I headed towards my room for some well needed rest. I am really scared I will have that dream, again.

The woman walks out of the blaze and as soon as it appeared it was out again.

"Amelia, this is the devastation I can cause to your precious world if you don't give me what I want. Your prince is mine! He is in my heart, silly girl you think you can take him from me, ahahahaha," her laugh sends chills down my spine. "I have no idea what he sees in you, you are just a pathetic little girl," the woman in black says.

"I love him and he loves me, you can't have him, you never had him, love is a special thing between two people that you will never understand!" I shout at her, my eyes brimming with tears, I don't know if it is out of fear or love.

"Frightened little girl, you can do nothing to stop me, he will be mine, or else you and your world will suffer the consequences," she says smirking at me. I feel myself fall to the ground, my knees to weak to stand out of anger.

"You can't do anything to devastate our love, who do you think you are? We will love each other for all of eternity, even if I do give him up to you, his heart will never belong to you," I say, surprised at my own will, I feel as though I would do anything for this love me and my prince share.

"Ha that is what you think!" the vile woman yells and then turns her hand towards the glass windows of the palace and a bolt comes from her hand shattering the windows, sending shards of glass in every direction.

"You think you can stop me princess?" she says and then begins to laugh manically. She raises her hand to me and a bolt shoots out of her hand and in a flash my prince has bolted in front of me, being struck by her power.

"NOOOOOOO!!!" I scream, and soon to fall into tears.

"You stupid princess look what you have caused! I will be back!" the woman yells and in a flash she disappears. I look towards my prince who is grasping my hand and looking at me lovingly. I know that face, I know him!
