Chapter 7:
"Beetle!" Jenna said, trying to wake up the boy who her mother scared a few minutes ago- her ghost mother that is.
He stirred, trying to get up. A hazy orange light appeared around her when he tried to open his eyes. His eyes pursued into a smile. She took his hand and squeezed it.
"C'mon, Beetle! Wake up!" she said as she pushed him into a sitting position, "Your better now." Beetle finally gave in and grudgingly pushed himself to stand. He fell down and Jenna immediately caught him. He looked up and his nose was touching hers. He smiled carelessly and she blushed.
"So, you're awake now?" she said, trying to hide the nervousness in her voice, his face was just at least an inch away from hers.
"Yeah..." he said, then realized what he was doing. He moved his face away, half-heartedly and sat down on Princess Jenna's bed. "What happened?"
"You passed out when you saw my mom." She said as she sat down beside him, she slipped her hand into his and looked at his face, "Not Sarah~ It was Queen Ceres." He stirred and she caught him again.
"So, where is she?" he asked, trying to keep composure. He did not want to pass out on Princess Jenna again. There was an uncomfortable silence between them. Jenna touched his hair and brushed it. He looked at her and saw trouble in those purple eyes.
"Beetle..." she hesitated for a while, "There's something you should know..."
"What's that?" he asked trying to sound, calm. Jenna is the type of girl, you wouldn't expect to say that.
"My mother said..." she gulped before saying the rest, "My mother, Queen Ceres, said that... she would like you to be my... husband when I become queen." Beetle stood up and looked over at Jenna... "Beetle?"
And with that, Beetle passed out again, in Jenna's arms. His last thoughts were...
"Jenna will think I'm gay if I pass out again..."
