(A/N: I am sooo totally sorry! I had to finish school, then I got sick, then I had to study for my permit. So I have had a busy few months! But I am back. This will be the last chapter.)

You Took My Heart

Martin's bedroom….

King Beu walked into his son's room with one thing on his mind, getting his son back together with his girlfriend and making him happy again.

"Martin", King Beu said.

"Yeah Dad.", he replied.

"I found out from King Eric and queen Annie that Ruthie isn't doing so well…", but he was cut off by Martin.

"Is she alright? What's wrong with her?", Martin asked getting worried.

"She is fine, sort of, see she misses you a lot. She doesn't eat much anymore, she doesn't talk much either, she doesn't even listen to her music, she just cries and says she misses you. Son, I think I was wrong about your relationship with her. Seeing you and hearing about Ruthie, I know you are serious. You have my blessing to continue courting her and you also have my blessing to marry her one day."

"Really", Martin asked dumbfounded.

"Yes. Now, go get your princess.", King Beu said with a smile. Martin didn't wait for him to say it again. He bolted out of the castle and raced to King Eric's castle. All the while planning how he was going to ask Ruthie to continue to court him.

King Eric's castle….

When Martin reached the castle, he walked to Ruthie's window and tossed a few pebbles at it to get her attention. When she walked to the window, she almost screamed she was so happy. She opened her window and Martin began to sing to her.

You took my heart and ran away

Forever in my heart you'll stay

No matter what we've been through

I'm going to keep on loving you

It's not the way that i feel

Cause i'm really in love with you (ahh yeah)

You stole my heart then you ran away

What am i to say, i love you anyway (oh baby)

My love for you will never change

Cause i still feel the same way

The love i have for you will never grow old (oh no)

Chorus

My life had changed because of you

And i need you right here with me

There's no substitute for you

As far as i can see

You're the one for me

Every night and day

Thinking of you by my side

Here with me is where you ought to be

When Martin finished, he began to speak.

"Ruthie, my Dad finally approves of us being together. So, I was wondering, would you consider entering a courtship with me?", he asked slightly nervous. Ruthie put her finger to her chin like she was in deep thought. Then she left the window and ran down the stairs and out the door and into Martin's arms.

"Yes", she whispered into his ear.

After promising to return early the next morning, Martin said goodbye to Ruthie and she walked back to her room and fell asleep with a smile on her face.

The Next Morning…

When Ruthie woke up, she could smell the familiar scent of her mother's delicious pancakes. "That's strange.", she thought, "I guess the maids are sick or something." But when she opened her eyes, she saw her present room.

"That is so weird.", she said out loud.

"What's weird?", someone in her doorway asked.

"Martin!", Ruthie exclaimed as she ran to hug him.

"Ruthie, what's wrong, you act like you haven't seen me in months.", he said laughing.

"I don't know, I had the weirdest dream. We were in like the Middle Ages and I was a princess, and you were a prince and our dad's were kings and you and I were boyfriend/girlfriend and your dad didn't like me so he forbad us to see each other and we I was really upset but a while later you came back and said your dad approved of us and you asked me to be your girlfriend again.", she said in one quick breath.

"Wow, we were together huh?", he asked. Then Ruthie realized she didn't want him to know that part and that she had told him and she became nervous.

"Well, yeah, but it was just a dream. I mean it didn't mean anything.", she said.

"Oh, well, I came over to ask you if you wanted to go out tonight, but I guess…"

"Yes!"

"What?"
"Yes, I'll go out with you, I just didn't want you to think I was weird or anything because of my dream.", Ruthie explained.

"I already know you area weird Roo." At that she started to pout. "But its why I love you."

"I love you too, Martin.", Ruthie said while smiling.
