Once inside the castle, Apple had gone over to a bookshelf in the living room which was filled with all kinds of books.
"Wow, these bring back good memories," said Apple as she picked up a book from the shelf. It was an old notebook that had a little bit of weathering on it but nothing worse.
"Raven carried one around the whole time I was here, writing down notes on any new plants she found or spells that she came up with," said Apple as she looked through the book while smiling.
"I never threw anything of hers away, she put her heart into all of them after all," said King Arthur.
"I also remember that the day you left neither you or her could stop crying," said King Arthur.
"Saying goodbye to a friend is never easy," said Cerise as she looked at a painting that had Raven's name down in one of the corners.
"She was more than a friend, Raven was my first crush," said Apple as she closed the book and put it back on the shelf.
"What?!" asked Briar and Cerise as they stared at the princess with shocked expressions.
"I always had a feeling you fell for her back then, never had any proof of course," said King Arthur with a smile.
"Truth be told, I still have feelings for her," said Apple as she blushed.
"Wait, then why do you always talk about your destiny and Daring?! asked Cerise who was mad to hear this.
"Because I'm worried, what if I'm the only one who feels that way and how would others treat me if they knew?" asked Apple while looking down at the ground.
"No matter what, I'm always on your side," said Briar as she placed a hand on Apple's shoulder.
"And I can't judge you, given that I'm dating Cedar," said Cerise as she blushed a little at admitting it.
"You and Cedar, really?" asked Apple as she and Briar stared at her.
"All right, I think the three of us really need to sit down and talk," said Briar.
"On that note, I'll be getting back to work," sad King Arthur before walking away with a smile.
