My fic takes place in the 1500's so it'll be a bit confusing if ya never heard of the Renaissance before. Don't worry it'll get better. One last thing is that I Really hope there won't be flames for thi chapter because yes it sucks but all I'm doing is trying to get the whole meeting of the two over with so we can get to the main plot here. I'm sure that's what you're waiting for right? Cause if thats not true then I don't know why you're reading this.

Outside in the royal courtyard, Princess Stephanie was indeed stuck up in a tree. Legs swinging lazily back and forth and...smiling?
"Steph please come back down!" begged Lady Mickey. She was, or course, a very close friend of Stephanie's to be able to call her 'Steph' without the king ordering her to be beheaded, "What happens if you hurt yourself? His majesty will be furious!"
Stephanie grinned, "No worries! I'm just saving a robin's own flesh and blood! Like I'll really get in trouble for doing so?"
Mickey put her hands on her hips and cocked her head to one side, 'If you get hurt, saving a thousand robin eggs won't keep you out of trouble.' she thought.
Princess Michelle>
"I much rather have the green silk with pearls! It was easier to slip on the last time I wore it!" complained Michelle.
Poor Denise tried so very hard to help her get the dress on. Guess you should really watch out for what you eat when it comes to royal meals.
"My prin- I mean Michelle," the lady corrected herself, "Easy or not you must look presentable-"
Michelle cut her off, "PRESENTABLE! I must have heard that about billions of times in my life! More than people complimenting me about my looks. And besides, my sister's in danger of falling off a tree and possibly killing herself."
Denise dropped down low, "I beg your pardon, your highness! I didn't mean to upset you!"
The youngest princess shook her head.
"Just...rise, you didn't upset me. I just got a bit carried away is all. Hurry up and let's go talk to my father."
Lady Denise rose and helped Michelle with all the buttons on the back of the lovely satin gown.
Princess Stephanie>
Guards of the palace huddled around the tree. Stephanie, who saw no way of getting down anyway, decided to climb up farther and was hidden behind the magnolia blossoms. Beautiful time it was, spring. Just the right time or year to watch magnolia buds blossom from something similar to a giant white pearl to a tulip-like flower.
"Where is she?" questioned one of the guards.
"Up!" answered another.
Stephanie giggled, 'It's so much fun to hide from the palace guards!'
"You idiots!" she heard Mickey yell, "Twenty of our best men and none of you have the courage to climb up and rescue our princess!"
'Rescue?' thought Stephanie, 'I may be stuck but that doesn't mean I can't try to get down by myself!'
After this thought, she proceeded to climb down by putting one foot down on a lower branch. Expensive shoes just weren't made for climbing trees. The fact was proven when she slipped.
"Oh no!" yelled Mickey.
The guards ran around as if trying to catch her. They looked ridiculous running like that.
Princess Stephanie grabbed hold of another branch. Hanging a couple feet over the ground.
Lady Mickey looking as if she's gonna eat the fan she was holding.
"Imbeciles! Do something!" screamed Mickey.
King Daniel>
The king flipped through parchments and parchments of eligable princes. He's given up on the princes of Asia. Last time, it only took less than a week before the prince of Korea demanded a divorce. For the princess was unlady-like. Unfit to be the future queen.
Outside, he could hear the sound of someone's shoes click clacking on the floor. Princess Michelle burst into the room before her name was announced.
"Father!" she cried.
"Yes, daughter?" he asked, never one to care too much about formalities.
Michelle stopped walking, bowed three times and approached a chair.
"Lady Lisa informed me that my sister Stephanie is on a tree with no way down."
Danny's eyes went big. He gasped, holding onto the desk.
"Oh my..."
Michelle waited impatiently for her father to say something. It was only until Denise tapped on her shoulder that she realized the king was in a state of shock.
"Um...it's not that bad unless you get someone to save her...you know...?" stated Michelle.
King Daniel came back to reality.
"Yes, of course." He got up and straightened his clothes, "Let's go."
Princess Stephanie>
"Somebody help! My hand is losing it's grip!" pleaded Stephanie.
Mickey stood near the princess, "Hold on, Steph! Your sister and father are on their way."
"What's going on?" asked a voice from behind.
Stephanie and Mickey turned their heads, "Gia!"
"Yes! Back from my errand!" smiled Gia, "So, should I give you the bible now?" asked Gia, her eyes wondering from the princess to the lady, "Or should I give it to you when you're not so occupied?"
"Maybe later, Gia." Stephanie forced a smile.
No longer can she hold on. Her fingers unwrapped themselves from the magnolia tree.
Down towards earth she fell.
Gia and Mickey watched in horror as their friend fell.
"STEPHANIE!" yelled the king and princess in unison.
Danny went into shock again...
Michelle held onto Lady Denise, not bearing to look.
A young man dressed in the robes of a scribe with brown hair and eyes to match ran up and caught the princess with an arm around her waist and another under her knees.
Princess Michelle and the Ladies looked up observing the scene. No longer much worried.
The gentlemen set the middle princess down on the ground.
Stephanie couldn't really keep her balance and feel back down in her attempt to get up.
Lady Gia and Lady Mickey rushed over to help her, but stopped when the brunette bowed low then offered his hand to the Stephanie.
"Are you alright, milady?" he asked in a very enchanting voice. At least in Stephanie's opinion.
