a/n I was feeling exceptionally cheerful today so I decided to share my happy feeling by posting a chapter from Maria's point of view. ENJOY! And please review!

Maria

I was awoken abruptly and rather rudely by the sound of banging. I admit I was frightened so I took up the candlestick that was by my bedside and hid behind the fireplace so that I would not be seen by anybody that might come true my bedroom, door.

Suddenly the stone head of a horse that was beautifully carved into my fireplace moved down towards my head and at the same time a piece of my wall opened like a door. In stepped Loveday.

She walked towards my bed as I placed the candlestick on the table beside me.

'How could you leave me like that?' I called to her a bit too loudly 'and in the forest'

Loveday smiled which made her look radiant, she held up a very pretty red dress. 'This belonged to the first ever moon princess forgive me?'

I gave a small nod and entered her embrace. As I got changed into the beautiful dress I couldn't stop thinking about Robin. 'Loveday?' I called.

'yes, my dear?' she answered

'Was Robin always as arrogant as he is now?' I asked her.

'No one is always that arrogant. Why on Earth do you ask?' she replied.

'No reason' I sighed.

'Do you perhaps have feelings for my little brother?' Loveday teased.

My eyes went wide. 'N..No of course not!' I lied

Loveday gasped 'you do!'Loveday sighed 'I must warn you, Robin is fairly popular with ladies. Many princesses' hearts have been broken by selfish men, don't let him break yours.'

I stepped out from behind the screen and twirled to show off my dress. Loveday laughed 'fits you like a glove!'

I stopped twirling and sat on the arm of the chair she was sitting in. 'oh Loveday, this is all hopeless' I cried.

'what?' she asked worriedly.

'I'm as far away of actually finding the pearls as ever.' I sighed. 'They must be here somewhere'
