Finn's POV
"I'm just sitting here waiting for the girl and her parents to show up." I said to the driver. He just nodded claiming that he should stay just in case that I want to leave or it becomes a no show. I shook my head and replied, "If I need you I would call. Don't worry." I smiled, "I'll be fine. So please eat out. " With that he left, though I'm sure that he would find a way to stay. My people really love me don't they. I wonder who the girl is. All I know is that her name is….? I don't remember. I should have paid more attention to it. I smiled as I stared at the happy couples coming in and out of the restaurant. I wonder if I was able to act like a girl would Ryuu and I be like them?
Ryuu. I wonder if she loves you like I do? Does she know how far you'll go to help out those that you love? Is she treating you well? No Finn. Ryuu and you cannot be together after all he has a girlfriend. I reminded myself as I took a sip of water.
Staring out side into the Sun set, the hues of reds, yellow, orange, pinks , and a dim blue mixing together in perfect harmony seems so calm so peaceful. Hopeful almost. Hope.
My eyes are cast down staring at the table as I closed my eyes felling the warm upbeat vibe the restaurant has. I one again look outside to the sky as images form in my head.
"Finn, my daughter…no my Prince." My mother whispers as I held on to my brother. "Please take care of my son. Protect him. He is my pride and joy, my life, my heart, and my soul." I was crying silently as my mother said this. "Your father will not understand. You are my daughter, my Prince and the only one I can trust with this task. " Her breathing is becoming harsh and icy, almost as if death is placing his cold sickly fingers around her throat suffocating her slowly. " Do not let our people know of his birth." "Mother" I cried as stare at her lifeless body.
"Don't worry." I said tears still falling of my face. "I will take care of my brother. I promise as the First Prince of Fanelia I promise." I held on to the infant as if he was the only thing in the world that mattered.
I dried my tears hoping that dreams like those would stop coming. They are just dreams there is nothing to be frighten about I calmed myself staring at my drink. I have been waiting for them more then 30 minutes so far. I guess I should be thankful after all I was secretly hoping that the other party wouldn't come. I guess I'll wait a little bit longer. I sighed. It was a squeaking sound of the chair that I realize that someone was here. He was a man about 5'8'' in height he seemed to be in his early 40's or so. He seemed tired as if he had some sort of argument with someone. I smiled as I stood up to shake his hand.

"Your majesty." The man said, "I'm sorry for the delay. Sir." The prince just shook his head at the man replying "That is fine. I barely arrived so do not fret. " The prince just smiled. Though the waitress was sure that he was lying, as she came and wrote down the man's order. The prince asked for a refilled and then she left minutes later bring back the ice cold tea and a refilled of water. "So Mister Ushikubo." The prince calmly stated, "Stuck in a traffic?" The older man laugh light nodding is head in agreement. "Horrid. Traffic jam it was." He went only to have the prince ignore his conversational start. "Wait until you see my daughter, Sakura. Prince Finn. I'm sure you'll be very fond of her." Sakura the Prince thought as he took a sip of water. Why does that name sound so familiar?

Jun's POV
Like hell I was going to give her away. Jun thought as he and Sakura arrived at the restaurant. Sakura is my girl. I mumbled as I took her soft hand leading her inside. I silently glanced at her smiling making sure that she calmed. After all I can here to fight for her, whether that means losing all points with her father and probably making myself be a total fool in the process. I don't care. She means more to me then my life. With out her I would surely die. We reached the table where her father and the so-called suitor was. Before they noticed our present the suitor said something very startling. "Mr. Ushikubo. In dreams usually when one dreams about a wedding someone dies rights?"
We both waited to see what her farther would say. What kind of sick person asked that? The men just sat in silence as Mr. Ushikubo replied "Frankly I am not sure. I'm not really into dream meanings, your majesty. Dreams are not really creditable, sir. They are just harmless ideas that take root in one self-conscious corrupting the mind and destroying the sense of reality. Why do you ask?" "I see," the suitor smiled as he looked at us. "I'm glad you could join us Miss Sakura." He completely ignored me. The suitor grabbed Sakura's hand and placed a small kiss on it as he smiled so sweetly at her. If looks could kill he'd be dead, by now. I thought as he motion for both of us to sit down. So he did notice me.
Mister Ushikubo was about to speak when the suitor interrupted him. "Mr. Ushikubo. I want to apologies," the suitor said as he smiled at me and then at Sakura, "It would seem that I forgot that today I was meeting up with one of my friends and his girlfriend here." He said eloquently. "This is Jun and his girlfriend Sakura. They came to greet me since it has been over six months since we last met." He knows me I thought as I faced the suitor. Finn? "Finn" I asked as the man in front of me smiled. "Sakura." I heard her father state, "you know the prince?" "Yes Daddy." She replied as she grabbed my hand. "Father. Jun is my..." "Why didn't you say so before, my foolish daughter." The older man laughed. "I wanted you to met the prince and show him around. But I guess I didn't need to do that in the first place. Haha I just wanted to beat both them for once in my life. Well then I guess I better get going." The man said as he patted his daughter's head. "Don't come home too late." Her father sternly said as he walked out of the restaurant. Leaving the couple confused on what just happened and a laughing prince.

The night had gone with out a hitch. As Jun and Sakura were driven home. "I wonder if Finn is okay." The pink haired teen ask as she stared at Jun. "Don't worry I'm sure its nothing to worry about. Finn is very capable of taking care of himself after all he is a prince. " Jun said still bothered by the events that took place minutes ago.

Flashback
"Sorry" The prince said through his laughter, "But your face was priceless Jun. I knew that you guys liked each other but who would have guess that you guys would be going out." At this comment the said boy was blushing in embarrassment. "Fin." Jun whined as the laughing prince settled down. "Sorry but after having a boring conversation with your father Sakura. And I'm sorry if this offended you but I needed a good laugh." The said couple just stared at the boy as he gathered his composure. "Anyways how have you guys been? Is stalker man still after Hikari? And what about the Akira and Tadashi, or Megumi, what have they been up to?"
"Woo..woo calm down Finn" Jun said chuckling at the sight of the very energetic prince. "Everyone is fine. But what about you what are you doing here? Not that I'm complaining or anything." The Prince just smiled as Jun spoke wondering if either he had good or bad luck today. Since this is his second encounter today with a friend or member of the SA. "Hey Finn." A sweet voice asked as it brought the prince back into reality. "Huh?" "You weren't paying attentions were you? Sakura pouted. "Sorry." Finn said. "'What did you ask?" "Why did you ask my father about dreams that for tell death?" "Oh that." He replied sheepishly. "Its nothing really." He lied hoping that they would buy it. But luck was not on his side this time.
"Come on Finn." Sakura said as she looked at the prince with curious eyes. Sighing in defeat she replied. "Fine then you don't have to tell us if you don't want to but if you must know; usually when one dreams about a love ones wedding it can for tell the death of a love one or someone really close. But that is not the case all the time, you know. Sometime when one dreams about a wedding it is the dream of a new phase in that persons life with their partner." "Sakura really seems to be into this kind of thing, huh Jun." Fin quietly said as both boys watch the said girl ranting on, claiming that dreams were key to ones soul and so forth. "I guess so." Jun whispered as if he didn't want Sakura to hear him. "But she's really cute when she rants." Finn just laughed as he nodded his head in agreement. It was nice to have some friends to talk to even if they would tell, Ryuu that he is here.
It was a loud ringing that stopped their conversation. "Hello." Finn answered as his one lively face turned pale. "What? No. I understand. Are you sure you don't want me their? I can… Okay. But? Right. Bye." The couple just watch as Finn placed his cell back in his pocket. "Sorry about that guys." Finn said as he hid his pain voice with a soft smile. "Looks like I have to cut this evening short." Finn smiled as he stood up. "It was nice to see you guys again. Take care." He left leaving behind a confused and worried couple.

"I hope that everything is okay. "Jun whispered as he watch Sakura's car drive off. "Finn what are you hiding? And why do I feel like something bad is going to happen." He unconsciously unlocked his front door when he heard voices coming for the other side. Megumi has company? He opened the door to find Ryuu and Megumi watching dramas. "Jun. Welcome home." Ryuu greeted as Megumi sat on the couch smiling and waving back at him. "Its good to be home." Jun stated as he walked inside forgetting about his previous thoughts.

With Finn
Please tell me that this is a dream. I thought as I held on to my phone for dear life. Remembering the conversation that took place minutes ago.
"Hello." I said as I heard the panic voice of my mothers maid erupted on the other line. "Finn. Your mother, the queen she is not doing well." "What?" I said disbelieving I was about to say something when I heard soft cry. Mother I thought as the maid continued. "Your mother is not doing well, young prince." NO. The words slipped out of my mouth as she continued her tell. "She is having some sort of complication… and." She was cut off as my mother's sweet angelic voice took over. "Finn. Sweetie. Everything is fine. Okay. Nothing is wrong understood." She sounded in pain. Mother. "I understand." I said way to calmly for my liking. "Everything is good here so don't worry. Sorry about that. You know how maids are?" my mother laughed. But I was not convinced. "Are you sure you don't want me their. I can leave…" I started but was interrupted by my mom. " No. Is okay. Finn." She was trying to sound brave. Mother. "Okay. But." "No buts mister. You are a prince and you must look for your fiancee. Make sure she is a keeper, son. Okay." I smiled as she said this. "Right." "Goodbye my prince." She hung up as I said my farewells.
Complications. Are my dreams warnings? I sighed as I fell onto my bed. Looking at the ceiling. "Why won't this feeling go away?" I asked on one. "Mother. Are you okay? What's wrong? Why won't you answer me?" I let a frustrated growl escape my lips as the cell phone in my hand stared to vibrate.
"Hello?" I asked.
