A/N: Sorry this one is so short, but I found a good place to start the next chapter, and I had to start it off like that. Don't be too mad!

ANNA'S POV

The past week was hell. Mrs. Pedrosa was doing everything to bring me down. And Raimundo was doing everything his mother told him to do. I guess he didn't want to upset her, but still, I am his fiancé, and I just wish he would set some boundaries. Today, I was training in the garden to keep myself in shape so I could fit into my dress. Kimiko had called up her father, Mr. Tohomiko, and asked him to ship out a nice wedding dress. It was a really beautiful outfit. The cloth hugged my every curve, and it was in a nice off white color, and there were ribbons of aquamarine draped around it. The front was like a corset the way the ribbons were tied up, and at the bottom, they just flow into the folds of the dress. It was perfect. Well anyways, I was training in the garden by the pond. Raimundo was watching me and helping me stay fit, when Mrs. Pedrosa passed by and noticed her son's mesmerized look. She kicked a small rock over to me, and I had tripped on it. Just as Raimundo was about to come to my aid...

"Oh RAIMUNDITO!!!! Mommy needs you!" Raimundo went running to his mother's aid while I was left to fall into the water with the koi fish. Raimundo went off to take care of something for his mother, and she came walking over to me. "Oh my goodness, you poor thing! Let me help you up!" she exclaimed in a false sweetness. You would think that she was under the power of the Window of Hypnosis! Either way, I took her hand, and she pulled me up close to her. "Don't think that just because my son likes you that I have to." She snarled. "I will find a way for my little Raimundito to see that a little tramp like you could never be fit to be his bride."

"Hey Mom! What are you doing?" came Raimundo's voice.

"Just helping up Miss Anna! It seems that she had fallen into the pond!" Mrs. Pedrosa said with her fake cheerfulness again. I almost gagged at the little act she was putting on. I couldn't see how Raimundo could just let all of this happen.

"Anna, lets go hang out!" Raimundo called to me, and I got up and went over to him.

"But I'm all wet!" I complained, but the brunette just smirked.

"I could dry you off." Taking the hint as him wanting to cuddle and make-out, I smiled back and walked inside with Raimundo.

MRS. PEDROSA'S POV

I watched as that evil girl walked away with my son, and I just couldn't help but scowl at the back of her head. I wasn't about to let my little Raimundito marry that witch. I quickly hatched a plan and pulled out my cell phone. Lets see what little Miss Anna will do when Raimundo's old girlfriend comes over.
