18-year-old Kimberly De Barbarac wakes up to the bright rays of morning sun. She sits up and yawns while looking around her and realizes that she is outside of the De Barbarac farm under her favorite tree. She stands up when she hears her stepsister Kat (short for Catherine) calling her name from the doorway of the house, Kat of course refused to actually go outside for fear of getting her hands dirty. "Kimberly! What are you doing? Get in here we want our dinner!" Kat screamed, Kimberly rolled her eyes at her and walked to the house. When Kimberly got to the doorway Kat stood there and gave Kimberly an evil grin, "listen, if you want to eat anything at all this morning then you will let me pass." Kimberly said with a glare, "You stinky pig, are not aloud to tell me what to do. I am above your station and you have to respect me." Kat said in a two year old whiney voice. Kimberly looked at her and smiled, "the day that I give you any respect will be the day when pigs sprout wings and fly." Kat glared at her, rolled her eyes, and then moved out of the way. Kimberly smiled and walked into the house and straight into the kitchen to start breakfast.
Later that same day Kimberly was in the apple orchard next to the house picking the apples that had fallen to the ground. She was almost finished when she saw a man on what was her father's horse before he died when she was 8. She picked up an apple from her apron and threw it at the young man's head, he toppled off the horse and to the ground Kimberly picked up another apple and threw it at him. "Hey! Stop that! Ouch!!" Kimberly ignored him and continued throwing apples at him. Finally the young man was able to stand up, and was trying to come up with a way to get the beautiful young lady in front of him to stop throwing fruit at him. After sometime, he decided to stop trying to reason with her and picked up an apple and threw it back at her. She was caught completely off guard and then threw another apple at him; he retaliated and threw it back. Eventually they both got tired of throwing fruit and just stood there starring at each other. Then it finally clicked who she was previously throwing fruit at, it was the crowned prince of France Thomas Oliver. She starred at him dumbfounded and then walked over to him, "your highness I'm so sorry I didn't realize it was you." Prince Thomas starred at this beautiful young lady for sometime before speaking. "What is your name?" Kimberly didn't say anything. Prince Thomas looked at her again and then repeated the question a little louder, "What is your name?" "My name your highness?" Kimberly said rather stupidly. "Yes, what is your name?" Thomas said now starting to get annoyed with this beautiful woman in front of him. "My name your highness is Kimberly De Barbarac, I'm a servant for Baroness Rita De Ghent and her daughter's Kat and Trini." The Prince continued to stare at her and then looked quite surprised when she said the she was a servant for Lady Rita and her daughters. "How are you related to them Ms. De Barbarac?" Prince Thomas asked still surprised that such a beautiful and smart woman was a servant. "Baroness Rita De Ghent is my stepmother, and Kat and Trini are my stepsister's." Kimberly replied while bending down and picking up the apples, she was surprised when Thomas bent down next to her and helped. She moved some long brown hair away from her face and smiled at Thomas, he smiled back and then continued picking up the apples.
Thomas stood up and put the apples in the bucket sitting next to Kimberly, after Kimberly put her's in the bucket Thomas held his hand out to help her up but Kimberly stood up on her own and smoothed her dress down. "Thank you for helping me your highness, and I apoligze again for the apple situation." Kimberly said with a slight curtsy, she then picked up the bucket of apples and started to walk away but stopped when she heard Prince Thomas's voice. "Kimberly?" She turned around, "yes your highness." Tommy starred at her for awhile and then said, "please call me Tommy, and I hope we see each other again sometime." Kimberly smiled and then said, "I also hope we meet again Tommy." Tommy walked up to her, took her hand and placed a kiss on it. "I will make sure that I see you again." Tommy said and then let go of her hand and walked away. Kimberly watched him go, and then turned and walked towards home all the while thinking about Prince Tommy's kiss.
