Here is the next chapter. I'm going to find ways of how Danny and Sam are going to do this fake dating thing. Review please!
Danny and Sam spent one of their fake dates in the forest where they hunted game. Sam wanted to learn how to hunt for food just in case this whole fake date turns to be a failure and she had to run away again. Danny was happy to teach Sam, even though the prince thought the lessons were unnecessary. They planned their real date with their dates by the lake. Their dates would be coming very soon after Sam's hunting lessons.
"See, that's how you aim," Danny showed Sam after she released her arrow. She smiled proudly at the rabbit she caught. "Not bad for a beginner."
"I bet if you can teach me how to hunt, I can teach you how to dance," Sam smirked.
"I can dance just fine!"
"I've seen you. You suck at Ball Room Dancing and when you do the Sombre, you have two left feet."
"I DO NOT!" Danny glared before Sam raised one eyebrow, and then Danny's expression changed to a surprising look. "... do I?"
"Like I said, 'two left feet.'"
"At least I don't fall into holes and sprain my ankle."
Sam took a scoop of mud from the ground and threw it at Danny's face. While the mud was slowly dribbling to the ground, Danny slowly curled his lips into a smirk. He wiped the mud off his face and started walking toward Sam as if he was up to something evil.
"No, no Danny. Don't!" Sam said before trying to run off, and then Danny grabbing the girl from the back of her shirt and squirmed her whole front side in the mud. She quickly turned and pushed Danny away before he tripped and fell into the lake where they were supposed to meet their dates at. That did it! Sam started laughing her socks off.
Danny swam up and peeked his head from the lake. He grabbed Sam's foot and dragged Sam into the lake. Danny started laughing loudly before noticing Paulina coming through the woods. Danny strove off from the lake, still soaked, and ran by Paulina. She noticed that her date was soaking wet.
"Why are you all wet?" Paulina asked.
"We fell," Danny replied. Sam poke her head from the water and spit water out of her mouth with a scowl on her face since she couldn't get back at Danny. "Lesson's over."
"I'll be on the other side waiting for Elliot," Sam muttered with that same scowl before swimming out of the lake.
"Who's she?" Paulina asked.
"Princess Sam. She ran away from her palace and is visiting here for a while until her ankle heals up, which is taking a shorter time than expected. I was teaching her how to hunt since she was interested," Danny replied.
"That explains why she's limping a little bit. Her sprained ankle, I mean," Paulina said before cocking her eyebrows. "How did you two fall into the lake?"
"Sam has two left feet," Danny answered in a teasing manner to where Sam could hear every word.
"I CAN HEAR YOU, YA KNOW!"
"Just kidding. We were throwing mud at each other and Sam pushed me into the lake. At least that cleaned me up."
"Her majesty said she was waiting for Elliot. Is she on a date by the lake too?" Paulina wondered.
"Yeah, but she's going to be on the other side, so we'll have half the place to ourselves. Split it fifty-fifty," Danny explained before Paulina showed a smile and hugged her beau.
"You're so sweet," Paulina smiled romantically.
Sam walked toward the other side of the lake to wait for Elliot. Both Danny and Sam enjoyed their date. Sam decided not to inform Elliot about the fake date between Danny and Sam. Sam was afraid telling Elliot would complicate their relationship. Danny, on the other hand, wasn't afraid to let Paulina in on his and Sam's devious plot to fool their parents into thinking their children were dating. Paulina took the News okay.
"So... Sam is pretending to be your girlfriend and her real date is on the other side of the lake?" Paulina asked.
"Yeah. If our relationship goes well, Sam and I will do a fake-up-break-up, and then the marriage will go onto our true loves," Danny explained.
"Sounds devious. I like it," Paulina smirked. "Do you think we'll be able to date before Christmas? That's when the Christmas Ball will be."
"Of coarse, Paulina. That's a long ways off. I get the feeling we'll have an excellent relationship," Danny said with a cocky expression.
"What if your father finds out?"
"He won't. As long as he believes Sam's and I's relationship is true love, nothing can possibly go wrong."
"Whatever you say, handsome," Paulina said. "I guess that also means we'll be going on double dates often. That will be fun."
"I... never actually thought about that. That would be fun. The only time we can invite you and Elliot to the palace. Although, Sam will have to inform Elliot on the plan."
"It will be perfect."
"Perfection is my middle name... actually it's James, but you get what I'm trying to say."
Paulina smiled, and then curled her fingers into Danny's hand while snuggling her head beside the prince's shoulder. Danny was happy that he was on a perfect date with a girl whom the prince chose on his own. Sam was happy on the other side of the lake too. Elliot finally came and him and Sam had their date. Her boyfriend, then noticed Danny and Paulina on the other side of the lake.
"Do you know those two?" Elliot asked.
"Oh, I know Prince Danny. The other person is his girlfriend. They're having their date on the other side of this lake. We decided to split it fifty-fifty," Sam explained.
"Smart," Elliot complimented. "How long will you be staying here?"
"At least until my ankle heals."
"It seems to be healing fast, seeing that you are able to walk on your own."
"I know. I still hate the fact that I developed this sprain by falling into a stupid hole, and then prince charming comes out laughing his head off and saying I have two left feet when he dances like he has a sprain."
"He also tripped you into the lake and got you soaking wet."
"That too."
Elliot gave a smirk, which made Sam smile brightly. She could feel Elliot's arm being wrapped around her while she laid her head against the boy's shoulder. This date seemed too good to be perfect.
