"Is that so?" a cold voice laughed coldly. "I'm glad to hear that. I've been waiting for a command from the princess for a long time." A tall, white man with silver hair and sharp, cold, azure eyes was pacing in front of Charden. He was wearing a white trench coat. His room was dark and was filled with pictures of the prince. (To the readers: I guess Kyoko was not the only one obsessed with the prince. tee hee.) Charden did not say anything else and left the eraser all alone.

"At last, my Train... we'll be seeing each other again. I can't wait." Creed made an evil grin. "Tomorrow's the princess' birthday. I'm going to give her the present she will never forget... that witch's heart!" (Note: Even in a dream, Creed prefers to call Saya a witch. I have no idea why he hates her even behind the scene. Go ask him yourself.)

"I already told the eraser what to do. He did not tell me when he would do the command but I told him you wanted to do it right away." Charden said to Princess Kyoko.

"That's good to hear." Princess Kyoko said with her eyes sparkling with stars and her heart beating rapidly. "Ooh, my prince, I can't wait to see you!"

"A – A – A – T – T – C – H – O – O – O!" The prince sneezed.

"Bless you!" Saya laughed. "It looks to me that everyone is talking about you. Probably they miss you at home."

"That's not possible." The prince said. He had a spiky, brown hair, serious-looking eyes, and fair color of skin and had an emotionless face. Prince Train Heartnet blew his nose and turned to Saya. "No one would miss someone like me. Not even my guardians."

"Don't say things like that. I'm sure someone cares for you, they just don't show it." Saya winked as the two of them headed to the market. Although the prince had no idea what life is like to live as a commoner, he followed Saya and pretended to act like one.

Deep within the shadows, someone was following the two. His eyes were filled with rage. He looked at them with clenched teeth and tight fists. He wanted to jump over Saya and take her off the scene as soon as possible. But something was holding him back; his killer instincts were telling him it was not the right time for him to finish her.

"So, Train-kun, are you doing anything later?" Saya asked as she looked down on her list to check what else she forgot to buy. "Hmm... Ingredients for the cake, for the pasta, for the soup, for the desserts... What else?"

"Nothing much," Prince Train replied, sensing the stranger was still following them.

"Aha! The wine! I'll just order hmm... how many barrels? Probably, a hundred would do." Saya thought out loud. Then, she turned to Prince Train and smiled sweetly. "That's good to hear, Train-kun. I'm inviting you to watch fireworks with me near the palace. I'm not going to be present during my stepsister's birthday. She would be very pleased to find out I'm not around." She lowered her voice as if someone else could hear them. "Don't tell anyone but I'm going to sneak out of my room later. Well?"

"Not sure," Prince Train shrugged.

"Alright then," Saya said, pointing at the store filled with milk. "Whoever drinks milk the fastest wins. If I win, you would come and watch the fireworks with me but if you win, well, it's up to you what you want me to do."

Different thoughts struck Prince Train's head. He pictured Saya to be in a beautiful dress dancing with him. And then, when their faces were so close together their lips slowly touched. The daydream vanished when the kiss happened. Prince Train shook his head. How come he thinks like that? It was a dream after all. It was as if he was waiting for that kiss for a long time. He had a feeling someone told him that she would kiss him, but not right now. The prince agreed to Saya's challenge and bought two bottles of milk. Saya placed the food she bought down and took the bottle.

"One... Two... Three..."

And the two cats drank the milk as soon as they can. The prince looked at Saya who was busy drinking the milk. He had never seen a girl like her drink milk like that. It seemed she loved milk as much as he does. He was astounded that he forgot he was supposed to finish drinking it until the last drop. He drank it and gulped as fast as he can. Then, he felt he could no longer breathe and choked the liquid out. Saya stopped drinking hers and pat the prince's back. "Hey, be careful. I don't want anything bad happen to you just because I challenged you to a silly game."

Prince Train wiped his lips and looked at her. Their faces were so close together. The prince felt his heart beating rapidly. He had no idea someone else would be concerned for him. He smiled and made a silly face. "I just did that to make you stop drinking yours." He grabbed his bottle of milk and drank.

Saya placed her arms on her waists and made an angry expression on Prince Train. Then, she drank hers as well. She wiped her lips and showed the empty bottle to him. "Too bad I still won. Bleh!"

Prince Train felt annoyed when he finished his drink but somehow, he felt good. He enjoyed being with someone for a change. Saya peered to him and said, "Well? How about my invitation?"

"I'll go," the prince said.

"That's good to hear! I'll meet you there later, okay? We'll watch the fireworks at the tower near the palace. See you." Saya winked as she bid him goodbye. The prince waved back and cannot wait to see her again.

Creed was lurking in the dark, furious with what he had heard. He finally felt it was his time to erase the 'witch' in the world they are living in.
