Chapter 4;
Fairy Tale
"Mommy, Ella doesn't want to play with me" Troy sat on the kitchen chair, crossing his arms in front of his body, extremely upset.
Marina turned around and faced her son, "Why not?"
"She keeps watching that stupid movie" he said, "Ella is boring"
Marina looked at him with serious eyes, "You love basketball, right?"
Troy nodded, "and what Gabby thinks of it?"
He rubbed his hair, "Uhm, she's always watching me play"
Marina sat on a chair beside Troy, "That means she supports you"
"Oh" he said, "What does that mean?" he asked her, confused.
"Well, to make it short, she likes everything you like" she gave him two cookies, "If I were you, I would support her with her movie too, she loves it, Troy. That doesn't make her boring"
He nodded, "Ok, I won't call her boring anymore"
"Good" Nina said, "Why don't you give her a cookie?"
He stood up and walked to the living room where Gabriella was watching her favorite movie. He sat on her side on the couch and gave her a cookie.
"Thank you" she said, taking a bite of the cookie without taking her eyes of the movie,
He nodded and watched a bit of the movie with her, "Why do you like this movie?" he asked her, grabbing her hand.
Ella looked down and smiled, blushing "I love when the Princess meets the Prince"
Troy caressed her hand, "its just fairy tale Ella"
The girl shrugged her shoulders, "I like it anyways"
Troy started to swing his legs, completely bored. "Ella?"
"Yes?" she asked,
He looked down at his hand on hers, she was too special to be called bored just because of a movie, "What's the story about?" he asked, trying to like the same things she liked too.
Gabriella grinned, sitting on her knees, "The prince and the princess meet one day and the bad witch puts a spell on the princess!" she said, making the 'O' face. "Then the prince looks for her everywhere and he has to fight with a dragon!"
"How big is the dragon?" he asked,
Gabriella opened her arms, "It's huge" she said,
Gabriella looked at her own arms and felt like it didn't give credit at all at the real size of the dragon. She stood up, grabbing Troy's hands and pulling him off the couch. The boy looked at her confused while she placed herself in front of him, opening her arms and asking him to do the same.
Troy did and she rested her hand on his, now they were making this huge circle.
"That's the real size of the dragon, Booboo"
Troy smiled impressed, "It's a giant dragon"
Gabriella nodded, whispering, "Yeah"
That night, before they sleep Troy and Gabriella talked for a while. He lay on her bed with her, staring at the ceiling.
"You know why I like the movie so much?" she asked him after a while.
"Why?"
"The prince's name is Troy"
Troy looked at her, "Really?"
She nodded, "Yes Booboo, he is really cute too"
Troy smiled, "Wow, that's cool Ella"
Gabriella smiled back, "I know, maybe you're a prince too, like the guy from the movie"
He sat on the bed, "You think?"
Gabriella turned to her side, resting her head on her hand, "Maybe"
"Does that mean I need to marry a princess?"
She rubbed her chin, thoughtful, "I guess"
"Oh" he said, "I don't know any princesses, do you?"
She shook her head in negation, "Sorry Booboo"
Troy lay on the bed again, breathing slowly, "How am I suppose to find one then?"
Gabriella rested her head on the pillow, "I don't know" she said sadly.
"How's a princess?"
"Uhm," she said, "She is beautiful, likes animals, is intelligent and you have to love her"
Troy slowly turned on his side, facing his little sister, "I know her already Ella"
Gabriella smiled, "Who?"
"You, Ella" he whispered, "You're beautiful, you love Daisy, you're really intelligent and I love you"
Ella's smile got widen, "Wow, I'm a princess too"
Troy hugged her, "We can marry Ella"
"I love you Booboo, but I don't wanna marry you," she pouted and Troy smiled, "Not now Ella, when we get old?"
She agreed, "Ok then"
Troy smiled at himself, "Wow, I have a princess"
Gabriella grabbed his hand underneath the blanket, "I'm Princess Booboo" she giggled,
Troy laughed too, "Princess of Boobooville"
They both started laughing really hard.
"Kids, time to sleep" Jack yelled from the corridor and Gabriella quickly closed her eyes, pretending she was sleeping. Troy looked at her breathless; his little sister was really something! He was really sure he just found his first crush ever.
He closed his eyes too, looking for her hand again underneath the blanket.
"Ella, give me your hand" he said in a whisper.
She placed her hand on his stomach, "We need to sleep Troy, you heard daddy"
He nodded, "just a second"
Troy sat on the bed, grabbing a red pen on the bedside table,
"Sit down Ella"
The little girl sat on the bed, staring at him.
He grabbed her hand, "Do you want to marry me?"
Gabriella smiled and nodded, "Ok Booboo"
Troy started drawing a ring on her finger, at this time he didn't know it would need a proper proposal, a judge or a priest, a ring and the right finger to place it to get married. And especially, not being related at all.
"It's really cool Troy" she said, caressing the drawing of the ring with her finger,
He looked at Ella, "I'll give you a better ring when I start to work in a few years"
She looked up, excited, "Ok"
Troy lay down again and soon was joined by Gabriella.
"What do married people do?" she asked him,
Troy shrugged his shoulders, "I don't know Ella," he said, "Mommy and daddy talk and kiss everyday and watch TV"
"Oh" she yawned, "I'm tired Booboo"
He nodded, "Me too"
She lean on top of him and gave him a kiss on the cheek, "We talked and kissed, can we watch TV tomorrow?"
Troy smiled, placing his hand where she kissed him a few seconds before, "Yeah"
He turned off the lamp and Gabriella grabbed his hand tighter, "Turn it on, Troy, I'm afraid"
Troy hugged her, "I'm here Ella. I'll protect you; I'm your husband now"
"Ok" she said with a weak voice, "Good night"
"Good night" he replied, closing his eyes and holding Ella's hand on his heart.
