Nicholas struggled to open the door with Mia in his arms but she wasnt for jumping down.

"i could get quite used to this sir Nicholas"

"i wouldnt if i were you my arms are aching"

"oh how rude. are you trying to say im fat?"

"i wouldnt dream of it your royal heighness"

They both laughed and Mia fell out of Nicholas's arms.

"oww my backside"

Mia rubbed a place on her backside which she had just landed on the tile floor.
Nicholas couldnt control his laughter earning himself a playful slap from Mia.

"its not funny, that hurt"

She managed to get out between giggles.

"now princess we have to get into something more confortable if we are watching a movie in a few hours"

"my my my Nicholas what are you thinking?"

"im thinking how good you look in that pink dress"

"really,well its a sham im about to take it off isnt it"

"even better"

Nicholas shut the drapes together. Outside in the gardens Clarisse noticed the drapes being pulled together and knew this was her cue to stay away from Mias suite for a while.

"well maurice, lets go and get ready for Mias big evening"

Clarisse strolled back into the palace feeling on top of the world once more. She was finally happy, a loving husband, the perfect loving grandaughter who was in love. But how long was it all going to last?
