"A beauty unmatched with a soft hand and a golden thumb. I follow my mother's footsteps wholeheartedly and willingly for I must create another chapter in our story of fantasy. My people will love me for who I am and for what I stand for; The Kind Queen… I am Apple White and I pledge to follow my destiny as the next Snow White…."

Daring…

.

… Daring?

"….Daring!" Apple shot a glare at the blond male who was busy expecting his own smile in his golden laden mirror; which he nearly dropped to her sudden shout. "Were you even listening?"

"Hmm?..Yes! Your speech is perfect." How daring was Daring to lie as he smiled handsomely to the golden haired princess and winked at her. "It was perfect in every way Apple." He chuckled some as he gripped the mirror a little tighter; his eyes wanting to go back to the gorgeous image that looked back at him.

"Are you sure? It has to be perfect… I want the people to feel what I am saying. " Apple stood now and walked a little away from where she was sitting. "I want them to see that I am serious about being the next Snow White.." She slowly turned back to Daring to only raise a brow at what she was looking at…

Really?

.

"Daring….sweetie…." She cleared her throat as she approached the male who was blowing kisses into the mirror—winking to himself and giving himself words of encouragement for whatever hurdle he needed to get over….with himself… and eyed the mirror within his grasp. "I need you to focus!" She snatched the mirror from his hand and quickly placed it in her never ending purse; his mouth dropped.

"Apple! Do not be so cruel to me… This is how I—study… Yep! You want my speech to be just as perfect as yours, right?" Every moment that he was not looking at himself was another day off his life. He felt his soul being smothered much like the mirror in her purse; slowly he could begin to hear himself wanting to cry out.

"Focus, Daring! That is all I wish of you…I want my Ever After to be perfect and it will not be perfect if you are staring at yourself when the time comes…I get poisoned, I fall asleep—"

"Yes! Yes! I kiss you, we get married, you become Queen and you have a happily Ever After. I do not think I can mess that up…It is, kinda my thing, you know. Now please…my mirror!" He urged a little wide eyed and disgruntled as his eyes kept darting to her purse. Each moment he could feel as if his soul was being sucked deeper into the black abyss of hell; being nudged by the demons called Lip gloss, mascara and Compact!

"Fine…here." She rolled her eyes gently as she handed him back his beloved mirror and just sighed as she sat back down underneath the gazebo that they sat under. It has to be just right…not matter what needs to happen…OMG! I can not wait much longer until Legacy Day! I can't wait for everyone to get a glimpse of the queen I am going to become!

It wouldn't matter the cost to her. She believed that everyone must play their part when the time was to arise. It didn't matter if it was a small or big role; she was dead set on obtaining her Happily Ever After at the cost of others.


Next chapter: He likes to leave an impression, but he prefers to limit his ties...A charmer that probably exceeds that of Daring.
