Thnx 4 all of the reviews. It means a lot 2 me. Also, once again, sorry about the wait.

Lorelei was tongue-tied. "This is the king you were telling me about?" she stammered out to Eli. "He looks a little young don'tcha think?"

"HE is standing right here. I believe you can address me yourself" Peter retorted.

This girl was beginning to irritate him. She didn't even know who he was and yet she was already judging his status. He regretted even feeling the tiniest bit of emotion for her.

"Well your "royal highness"," Lorelei said as sarcastically as she could. "I believe an apology is desired." Placing her hands on her hips she stared at him looking expecting.

"Yes it is." Peter waited for her to say sorry. Why was she looking so expectant? Surely she didn't think he was going to apologize?

"I think you are confused," he stated. "You say sorry to me."

"Are you mad?" Lorelei yelled, balling her hands into tiny fists. "You were the one spying on me and my friend and creeping in the trees. You owe us an apology and I want it right now!" Lorelei's chest heaved and her face was a mask of anger and outrage. "How dare he think I'll apologize to him!" she thought. "And he's a brit none the less. He thinks since he's a king he has a right to everything. He's not that amazing no matter how beautiful he looks in the sunlight!" Lorelei mentally slapped herself. He was the new enemy and we DO NOT find enemies attractive.

"You are the one who attacked a king. You're lucky you're not thrown in the dungeons for this. Now say sorry."

"NO"

"YES"

"NO"

"YES"

"NO!"

"YES!"

They were now right in each other's faces. Both with teeth bared and lips in a snarl. As she looked up at him, Lorelei couldn't help but notice how his eyes were an incredibly mesmerizing color of the ocean. Peter couldn't help but notice how much shorter she was than him. She just made it to his chest. Also he couldn't help but notice that their lips were only centimeters away.

"Lorelei! Peter! Please!" Eli yelled. Running towards them, he pushed them apart and instantly Lorelei felt the loss of Peter's body heat.

"Peter is this anyway for a high king to act? Arguing with a guest like an infant faun. And Lorelei, shame on you, attacking and not apologizing for your mistake. Aslan would be very upset with you for straining yourself after you just got out of resting."

At the mention of Aslan, both of them lowered the heads in shame. Lorelei loved Aslan and didn't want him to be disappointed in her. Fingering her locket, she asked her mother for humility.

"I am sorry high king Peter. For attacking you without reason and for insulting your kinghood. I hope you can accept my humble apology."

Even though she apologized, she stared at Peter with hard eyes that showed no remorse.

Resisting the urge to snarl, Peter said "I apologize for not making my presence known whilst among the trees. One can see how a fragile woman would have been easily frightened."

Lorelei's nostrils flared in indignation. If it wasn't for Eli's restraining hand, she would have lunged at the arrogant brit and wipe that sickening smirk off of his oh so pretty face.

"Now if you two would excuse me, I have a conference coming up and must prepare myself." Peter bowed his head slightly. "Eli. Lore. (a/n: Lore is pronounced like Laura)" Turning on one heel, he walked back through the trees, humming the whole time.

"Arrghhhh!" Lorelei yelled. "He has got to be the most arrogant, obnoxious, dim witted, person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting. Who does he think he is calling me that annoying nickname? He didn't hear me calling him Petey. And just what, may I ask is so amusing to you?"

Stifling his apparent laughing, Eli claimed there was nothing and that they should finish practicing, all the while thinking that his little charge had finally met her match.
