Howdy Y'all! Alrighty then. I had a revelation! I have an idea for another story. I won't be able to start it yet because it deals with this story ;) but if you want me to type it up I will! Oh and would you like me to type some of the other stories I have ideas for or do you want me to wait until this one is done? If I did more than one story you would have to wait longer for updates but I swear (not literally but you get it right?) I will still work on this one. Ahem. So if you could review with your opinions that would be great! I really want to start on my other story but I don't want to spoil this story. Ok I'll wait. So my lovely reviewers…

Elyse Bennet- glad you like. Yea doesn't everyone do that though? I forgot to put you in last chapter's reviews but I will put you on now. If you read my last chapter you will find out who that person is.

Zoux- I forgot you too. SORRY!!! If you check out my last chapter you will see what she wished for.

EyesofEmerald- I will try to get longer chaps but it is hard to sometimes ya no! I used to watch full house too! I am the same way. I am always the last one too bed at night.

Flyinghigh808- glad I can give people enjoyment with my writing!

SnitchWitch123- I am glad you liked the songs I picked out! I have to wait until a ball or party to put in more though and it has to go with the mood. I am a BIG country fan. I am not into rap or rock too much and definitely not into classical-yuck! I couldn't think of any other way to do the spell so poof! I used that. I am amazed that I could be in any way like JKR. She is sooooooooo awesome!

Fineflyer- thanks!

So here is the next chapter! Happy Birthday Sis!

A Kiss Tells All

May 2nd,

I have been thinking a lot lately. Like how am I so like my mother and what is Mandy hiding from everyone? Well that and what was Derek thinking yesterday! He just-ugh. Maybe I should recap for you.

It was as typical of a day that you can get, what with the Crown Prince of Kyrria leaving that afternoon. Maids were rushing around, dusting and whatnot, preparing for the Prince leaving. He will be gone for approximately one month. Until he has beaten the living daylights out of a group of ogres that has been torturing many people lately, he won't be home. But the big, bad knights are POSITIVE it won't be longer than a month. Umhmm, we'll see.

Since we already had the ball for Derek's leaving we were just going to watch him when they all leave. He is going with a band of knights who will help protect him if needed. They better bring A LOT of weapons.

Well we had this huge dinner since Derek was leaving and all. It was delicious I might add. Thank you Mandy! But anyways, Nicole, of course, was seated right next to Derek when I came in the hall. The surprising thing is that he asked Nicole to move, so that I could sit by him. She moved in a huff and I sat next to Derek. I wonder what he wants?

"Hello," he said.

"Hi," I answered.

"You look nice," he said. I was wearing a lavender purple dress. It was simple yet elegant.

"Thanks. You look good too," I answered. And he did. I won't discredit him. He is very handsome. What with his navy blue jacket with medals and crests all over and I could practically tell he had a nice set of muscles underneath his shirt. How come I didn't notice them before?

"Thanks," he said. Where are all of the insults? How come he isn't kicking me under the table? Why is he being nice all of a sudden? He was acting like a shy little kid. Completely opposite of what I know about him.

"What's up?" I asked. I am not one for being subtle. "You look a little pale. Are you sick or something?"

"No, I am just nervous. I have never been out on my own to fight before. My Father always used to go with me. It is kind of scary when I know I control whatever happens when I am out there." Whoa! Derek acting HUMAN is something I have never experienced before! He is just like any other guy. Except for the fact that he is crown prince and will have to control a whole country in a few years.

"You know it will be the same way when you become King. You will be controlling everything that happens to your people. You might want to get used to it." I am not one for sympathy either. He needs to know the facts straight up. Face it! He is destined to be a future king! He HAS to know some leadership roles when he gets there.

"I know that it is just strange for the first time. Don't go and preach to me about being King. I know how it is!" So much for being like any other guy.

"Okay everyone, I think that since we are all done eating that we should bid Derek farewell. The sooner he leaves the sooner he comes back." King Char spoke. We all stood and walked out to the gates. Derek started to hug Char and Ella. Then Paige, he shook Walt's hand and Nicole jumped at him and kissed him! On the lips mind you! I should really have expected it. Although I saw Derek spit discreetly on the grass after she did. Kyle was going with Derek. He is a knight.

Then Derek came to me. I expected a handshake or a hug at the most, but what do I get? A kiss. Of course he kisses me, he kisses any girl that comes within a radius of three feet of him. I wasn't happy because if you remember what happened after the last kiss we had I wasn't too trilled at that happening again. But it was a misunderstanding. But he still had the nerve to do it. While I was pondering all of this we were still kissing. Eventually someone coughed and we stopped, out of breath and looking like complete fools.

I looked around and saw Nicole was turning redder each second she stood there and was glaring at some tree in the distance. Better watch out for her. Paige was grinning like an idiot at us. I have a good feeling that she was the one who coughed. Char looked pleased I would say and Ella looked very happy as well. In fact she looked ready to jump for joy. Kyle was trying not to burst with laughter and poor Walt looked heartbroken. When I finally looked at Derek he was blushing and looked embarrassed. He stepped up gave me a hug and whispered, "Write to me soon."

I didn't know what to say, I was still somewhat in a state of shock, so I just nodded. He must have felt it because he turned around, hopped on his horse and said, "Okay everyone, I hope to see you soon." He looked at me one last time before he turned and began to gallop away. His group of about twenty knights followed, Kyle included.

Paige came up to me and closed my mouth since I was still standing there, shocked. She was so understanding. Not.

"Well what did you expect? Something like, 'Hope I stay alive so I can come back to torture you like always,'? No I don't think so. He might not see you again so that is his way of goodbye for now maybe forever."

"A 'See you later pal. Write soon,' would have worked just fine for me"

"But it didn't work for him. You better watch out Nicole is going to be on your case for sure now. Oh and my Mother might start planning engagement parties so be careful of that too." Paige said. Yes, that might be a good idea.

Thankfully Nicole and Walt and King Dave decided to leave after seeing Derek off.

"We don't want to impose any longer. Our carriage is fixed so we will be on our way." King Dave said.

"Are you sure you don't want to stay for dinner? It is chicken and potatoes." Ella asked.

"Oh no, we just ate and if we don't leave now it will be dark before we get home and we will have to stay at an inn." King Dave replied.

"Alright. Goodbye."

"Farewell. Tell us when Derek gets back." Nicole said.

"Alright. Bye."

Then they left. I think Walt got them to go for my own safety. Bless him.

So why am I so angry with Derek for kissing me you ask? He DID get rid of Nicole for you and it was just saying goodbye. Well it is the principle of the thing. He didn't ask for my consent. He just lent in and boom! He kisses me. It was too much of a surprise for me. I am NOT going to write him until I get a letter first. Then I will know he is keeping up his end of the bargain. Though I have a feeling I am going to be quite bored for the next several weeks. Not because of Derek, well yeah I guess because of Derek. I always got along with boys better than girls, with a few exceptions. Paige and Sydney included. I hope Mum has a boy. He will be so much easier to get along with. But then again with a boy it could get boring always being nice and everything. With a girl we could argue about everything from boys to clothes. Well whatever Mum has I will be happy with. One sibling is better than none at all.

I know this chapter is SUPER SHORT. I have been working hard on my other story. Unfortunately it has been effecting my work on this story. I hope you aren't all mad at me. I give you all the right to send flamers. Just be nice okay. But if it weren't for my flamers then I wouldn't have come up with the idea for my next story. So THANKS!!!!!!!! I forgive you! Does anyone read the profiles? If you check out mine do any of you feel interested in the story summaries I have put in there? If not I will take them out. And I have realized that some of you people may not know how to review or have forgotten so I will tell you. You go to the left-hand corner of the screen with your mouse. See the purple button there you click it. YES that button. You type whatever you want to say to me about my story and then you click the button that says submit. Did you do it? Very Good! I am so proud! No I don't take you for a bunch of idiots I just wanted to make sure you know how to. OH and if you want to add me to your favorites list or author alert then that is FINE with me! Alright I will stop treating you like babies. Goochie goochie goo. Who's my ittie bittie boy/girl? Okay I have had my fill. Buhbye.
