Notes: My apologise to all who have been waiting, this has taken much longer than I would have liked as well but this should wet your apatite for a while until I post up my next chapter. I do have an announcement to make about the next chapter but that can wait till the end so without further ado in 5…4…3…2…)

iMight Run

It was amazing, it was fantastic, it was love. Sam was almost giddy as she kissed her prince for the length of the song, or more, possibly the length of her life. They broke apart and Sam finally realised that the slow song they had started dancing to had changed to Makes Me Happy by Drake Bell. She couldn't help but smile with the irony. Prince was smiling too as he said "I think we lost track of time there," and Sam couldn't help but laugh. They were still swaying slowly despite the faster music but it didn't feel strange at all. Their lips kept meeting for more each time as unique as the very first time and yet like that time had a familiarity to it that made it seem easy. No matter what Sam had told people she had only kissed one boy properly and one other in a sort of dare format. Neither she had classed as very romantic and she was always worried she was somewhat unskilled in this particular part of dating. It always had worried her when with a boy that he may tell her so and thus always steered clear of it. Her fears seemed to not be present with Prince and this made her feel almost giddy with every kiss.

"Wow," she said with a gasp as their lips parted for what felt like the thousandth time "you are a really good kisser," she could have kicked herself as she felt the blush rushing to her face for such an amateur statement to come out of her lips.

"So are you," he said slightly red faced himself but holding her gaze giving her Goosebumps. His hands had travelled to her face cupping her chin as he kissed her but now were going to her mask, about to slide it off.

"Wait," she said stopping his hands with her own "I don't want to ruin the magic just yet,"

"What do you mean?" he said looking confused and a little hurt.

"Let's just wait till midnight ok?" Sam said, not sure she could go through with it without preparation.

"Ok deal," Prince said smiling and nodding "but you do realise that gives us like twenty minutes of mask time left right?"

"What?" said Sam pulling out her pear phone and seeing that it was indeed only twenty minutes until midnight. Time might fly when your having fun but Sam never guessed it could do warp speed. "Umm," she said knowing if she didn't prepare slightly she would back out 2I need to go to um fix my make up," and the blush seeped in again as she had never, in her life, said that!

"Ok I will meet you by the punch at midnight," Prince said kissing her hand causing her to feel like she had said nothing wrong. He really was perfect. She walked away, trying very hard not to lose eye contact but after a slight trip decided to keep her head down and just get to the bathroom. When she got in she let out an audible sigh putting her back against the door. She was such a dork but right now she loved every minute of it. She snapped back into reality when she felt the door open behind her and she turned to see Carly and Lucy enter, both with masks off now. "It's not midnight already is it?" Sam asked, time was not on her side tonight.

"What? No sill got like fifteen minutes why?" Carly said looking surprised to see Sam so harassed.

"Oh nothing just been losing track of time is all," Sam said taking off her mask and splashing her face with water. "Man is it hot in here," she said dabbing her face with a paper towel.

"Yeah more for some than others," Lucy said with a sly look at Sam who scowled. She would have hit her if she wasn't right. "How's your Prince?"

"Still amazing," Sam said looking away with a smile thinking of him. "But its all going to go wrong at midnight," she said lowering her head splashing more water on her face.

"What? Why?" Carly said walking over to her leaning on the sink guiding Sam's face so she was looking at her "what's going to happen at midnight?"

"We are going to take our masks off and he is going to see its me and he is going to be like 'eww no its you' and I am going to probably hit him and he is going to hit the floor, everyone is going to see and I will be so embarrassed and never be able to show my face again!" Sam said in one breath and very fast.

"Ok breathe mad girl," Carly said laughing "its not going to be that bad I'm sure you will be fine. Anyway if you are that worried then why not just keep your mask on at midnight?"

"I can't do that that's even worse! Then he will have his mask of and will be like," Sam began but was cut off my Carly covering her mouth.

"Just do it Sam, if he is as perfect as you say he is he already likes your strong personality and you are cute so I think he will like what he see's," Lucy said with a smile and a wink.

"You guys think so?" Sam asked to which they both nodded enthusiastically. He did like her strong attitude and got her humour. Not to mention he had been kissing her all night he couldn't think she was ugly or he wouldn't have tried that. "You guys are right no more masks," Sam said putting hers in her bag.

"Good," Carly said "cause we have five minutes to make ourselves look even more beautiful than ever,"

"Five minutes!" Sam said freaking out with all the water she had put on her face, she was going to need a miracle! Or two girls who were determined to make their friend look amazing for her Prince, otherwise known as the next best thing.

Freddie rushed to the toilets the minute Princess was out of sight. His face was on fire and his heart was beating hard every second. The minute he got into the toilet he went straight to the sink and splashed his face with a lot of water. He began to breathe again slowly wondering why he was doing this. He was so sure when talking to her that taking off their masks was a great idea but now on his own it was the worst idea possible. The reason he came to a masked ball was because of the word 'masked'. No girl in their right mind would willingly date him. Every girl he had ever dated had gone south and the only two constant girls in his life didn't think of him like that, no matter how much he wanted it. But it made sense if he acted on his feels for either of them he would probably ruin what he already had. Least he knew where he stood with Carly, that ship had sailed when he set her up with a guy but it didn't bother him. It was the up and the air thing with, "What am I doing?" he said out loud snapping himself back into the moment.

'Do I take it off or not?' was Freddie's only thought right now and it was one of the hardest he had to deal with ever. If he took it off there is no way of putting it back on and when he meets her again she see's its dorky Freddie Benson and then laughs? Runs away? Cringes? All of them? Worse?

But if he didn't take it off he could just say he was having problems with it then he could just tell her and maybe it would be less painful, but a thousand times more dorky! Still it was safer if he just kept it on and went straight for the exit. Maybe she would even mind, he left and he was just there so who cares? Well he would that's for sure. She was too good to give up just because he was scared. She was funny, smart and so cool not to mention sexy as hell. That's it he had made up his mind….he was going to run.

During all this thought process he felt his mask slipping slightly and when he look at the mirror he saw it was slightly squint. "Gibby had said this would stay on all night!" Freddie said curing his friend then realising what he had done. He had splashed his face with the water. That's what Gibby had told him to do if he wanted it off. Seemed fate had taken the decision out of his hands. Well if the mask was coming off then he was going to see Princess and show her who he really was!

Freddie took off his mask and pocketed it then fixed himself. If he was going to be dorky Freddie Benson he was at least going to be smart dorky Freddie Benson. He set himself up straight and nodded a sort of now or never nod then went for the door. He started going through the crowed keeping his head down so not to attract attention. He could hear the countdown for midnight begin as he walked towards the punch bowl.

"TEN!" Freddie didn't want to look up in case he recognised anyone or worse they recognised him so he just stole glances up and about him making sure to avoid eye contact at all times.

"NINE!" He could see magic Melina torturing her date with what was another amazing trick. It appeared she was making liquid go solid in his drink. Seemed she had done it at the wrong time though as his tongue seemed to be stuck to his drink and Melina was trying very hard to calm him down. Freddie couldn't help but laugh.

"EIGHT!" Freddie could feel the butterflies gather in is stomach faster and faster causing him to move slower and slower and breathe more and more.

"SEVEN!" He could see Gibby with his many girls around him laughing and joking still. Freddie couldn't help but wonder if Gibby's mother would approve and allow Gibby to take all these girls home with him. Again Freddie couldn't help but laugh, relaxing slightly.

"SIX!" Freddie just remembered he hadn't seen Sam or Carly this entire night. He was going to be in trouble but I am sure once he explained himself they wouldn't mind too much. Well Carly wouldn't he still expected abuse from Sam. He would text them tomorrow.

"FIVE!" With a quick glance Freddie couldn't even se Carly or Sam but he figured it was a big place with lots off people and if they were one of the ones still with masks on then he probably wouldn't recognise them.

"FOUR!" As Freddie got closer he could see he was not the only one meeting at the bunch bowl, there were a lot of people around it but he couldn't make any of them out.

"THREE!" Freddie finally caught sight of Princess and by the looks of it she had met friends there. Why hadn't he though of that? Not that it would have mattered; Gibby would not leave his fans to be a wing man.

"TWO!" She had her back to him but Freddie knew that it was Princess. She looked radiant even from behind and Freddie could remember her sent like he was next to her. All Freddie fears fell about him as he got closer and she turned so he could see her.

"ONE!" "SAM!" Freddie said very loudly but was cancelled out by the cheering of midnight by everyone around him. She was hugging Carly laughing then looking around for someone, for him! Freddie turned around and started heading for the door in shock, He couldn't believe it. All he could think was 'Sam's my Princess?' Sam's my Princess.

"Where is he?" Sam said looking around confused and starting to get angry. It had only been a few minutes after midnight but Sam didn't like to be kept waiting.

"Calm down he was probably held up by the crowds everyone is celebrating," Carly said patting her on the back but it didn't seem to do a lot to calm Sam down. She was pacing looking for him, occasionally throwing someone out the way. Five minutes had gone past and still no show.

"Hey girls," Gibby said appearing out of the massive crowd with a smile and many a gloss stain on his check. Carly hugged him in welcome but Sam was in no mood for pleasantries.

"Go away Gibb I am busy," Sam said not even turning to face him. Gibby looked at Carly for explanation who simply shrugged as if to say 'it's Sam'.

When he went to speak again Sam grabbed him and said "listen unless you know where Prince is I don't care!"

Seeing that Gibby had no idea what Sam was talking about Carly jumped in and said "A tall boy who had brown hair, a black suite and a mask that only covered his eyes,"

"Oh you met Freddie did you?" Gibby said happily causing Sam to look even angrier and Carly very confused.

"NO NOT FREDDIE, PRINCE!" Sam said very loudly causing a few people to turn and look at them.

"I swear the only one who was wearing a black suite and mask that covered only his eyes was Freddie," Gibby said almost crying at how scary Sam was.

Sam let go of Gibby looking very confused. He looked at Carly who looked just as confused as Sam did. "You mean Freddie….Freddie….is my Prince?" Freddie is my Prince.
