Chapter 3: The Second Meeting
Buffy laughed as her little sister played with Leora. The two seemed to get along just as well as she a Leora herself did. The two sisters were outside in Buffy's rose garden once again the following day. Riding horses all day had exhausted the two sisters, and rather then leave her sister's side Princess Dawn had insisted on following Buffy into her garden. The sun shone down warming the grounds and air around them. Flowers bloomed and shimmered in the light. Looking down at her golden wrist watch Princess Buffy noticed that the Prince she had met yesterday would be there soon. She would have to find someway to get the tiny brunette before her to leave.
"Dawnie, is not the Princess Melissa coming to play with you today?" she asked referring to her little sister's best friend. A tiny red head who looked to be about five rather then ten.
"Her Mommy said that she had dance lessons today. Therefore, could not travel to see me," explained Dawn coming up beside her big sister. With help from Buffy Dawn crawled up on the big white swing. "Buffy, are you meeting someone?"
Shocked at her sister's statement Buffy tried to keep her face neutral," Whatever gave you that idea?" she asked innocently.
"Well you keep looking at the new wrist watch Father gave you," deducted Dawn swinging her little legs back and forth. "Plus you seem to glow."
"I do?" questioned Buffy taking out her little mirror to look at her reflection. Sure enough Buffy noticed she was glowing. Perhaps it was the warm sun, but in her heart she suspected that it had something to do with getting to see Prince Angel very soon. The sun was almost at it's highest, he should be on his way.
"Can you keep a secret?" inquired Buffy, looking down at her sweet sister.
"Yeah, yeah," promised Dawn eagerly. "What is the secrete? I will not tell honest."
"I have met someone," related Buffy quietly. "He will be here soon to see me. I do not wish for anyone to know thought, okay?" she stressed.
"Who is he?" asked Dawn curiously. She would not tell her big sister's secret. Still she wanted to know the name of the guy who could make her sister glow like she had never seen Buffy glow before.
"His name is Angel, and he is from distant land," returned Buffy trusting her sister, but not wanting to reveal to much of where Angel happened to be from.
"He is a Prince, is he not?" fired off Dawn giving a strange look at the name Angel. What kind of guy had a girl's name like that?
"He is," replied Buffy.
"Princesses," called Harmony walking into the garden. "It is nearly sunrise. Your mother and father wish you inside now," she informed her young charge and the older Princess.
"Tell Mother that I am going to stay out here for a bit," instructed Buffy when she noticed a piece of white clothe flowing in the wind. 'No doubt a piece of Angel's cap,' she thought which brought a smile to her face. "Please take Dawnie in though," she told the servant.
"Very well," gave in Harmony. "Your Mother will be very put out that you did not come in as well."
"I will be in in a bit," swore Buffy lifting her little sister off the swing.
"Promise?" asked Dawn sharing a secret smile with her sister.
"Promise." confirmed Buffy before biding her sister and Harmony good-bye.
"You can come out now," spoke Buffy when she could no longer see her sister or Harmony.
"You are a vision," complemented Angel walking up from behind Buffy. Buffy stood with her back to him, so it did not surprise her when she felt his arms wrap around her waist and pull her to him. "Not a flower in this garden compares."
"You flatter me so, Your Highness," played Buffy turning around in Angels' arms so she was now facing him.
Angel smiled down upon Buffy. Her emerald green eyes sparkled up at him, and he could not help, but bend down to brush is lips lightly against hers. "I have missed you," he whispered when they part.
"And I you," responded Buffy slowly opening her eyes. How a prince from a distant kingdom, one of which her father was fighting against could steal her heart, she would never understand. Truth be told, she did not wish to understand. Being in Angels' arms felt like heaven a heaven she never wanted to escape. "Where are your two friends?" she asked softly when she noticed Angel by himself.
"I told them to wait outside the garden wall for me. If there is trouble they will know. Now, My Princess, how have you been this day?" wondered Angel pulling Buffy over to sit with him one of the benches that decorated the garden.
"Well," returned Buffy sitting comfortably on the Prince's lap. "My little sister has taken up much of my time today. It was time well spent though."
"I wish to spend more time with you," confessed Angel knowing that the sun was setting all to soon, and he would have to leave.
"As would I," agreed Buffy leaning her head on the Prince's shoulder. "I wish the Sword of Capricorn never existed," she brought up the one thing keeping them apart. "Then we could be together."
"If the sword did not exist, I may never of came," countered Angel running his right hand gently through Buffy's long locks. "Though, I agree, the sword has brought nothing, but pain and suffering to our kingdoms, it has brought one good thing to me, and that is you," he said.
Buffy looked up and Angel through her lashes," It has brought me you as well, My Love. I just wished that the sword would go away now."
"I will ask my friends to help me find the sword," promised Angel," and when I find it, I will destroy it so know one may have the power it possessives. "
"Angel, let me help?" requested Buffy sitting up. "I know not how I can, but there has to be something."
"We will think of a way, Love," affirmed Angel once more before capturing Buffy's lips with his own.
