Tim and Daisy's in Germany for this fic so they won't be making an appearance. I couldn't find a way to fit him in but (spoiler) there is a horse named Tim later on. I did manage however to fit Toby into this. The characters aren't really in character because it's different but I think Lucy is pretty much the same. Lee on the other hand is the opposite end of the scale. Enjoy.

After dinner Lee walked back up to his temporary bedroom for the next few weeks, the events of what had happened a few days ago playing on his mind. They just wouldn't leave and people were beginning to get suspicious.

Dinner the night he had gotten back had been tense. His parents had questioned his whereabouts. He had just said that he was in his room and wasn't in the mood to be disturbed. Lee had gained a glare for that explanation but that was the only thing he could come up with on the spot. He'd gained even more suspicion at the dining table on Wednesday morning when his phone buzzed and he jumped up from his seat. Lee ended up mumbling something about a tweet he was expecting for a while. Not that he had Twitter.

Sighing as he carried on walking back from breakfast he took his phone out and checked the time. Lucy should be getting her coffee in the next half an hour. He had to go back and pay that shop manager. Lee had found out that he could possibly get away tomorrow because the men were off out hunting and the women were relaxing. He had an offer to go but he declined, finishing it a great way to be able to see Lucy instead.

With a grin on his face he walked into his room and threw his jacket onto a nearby armchair. Turning around Lee jumped out of his skin as he saw Toby, the man who kept him in line and on time, was sat on the edge of his bed with his camera in his hand as he glared at Lee. That wasn't good. Feigning innocence Lee asked, "what have you got there?"

"You know damn well what I've got here," Toby replied as Lee unbuttoned his waistcoat.

"I..I can explain," Lee pleaded as Toby stood up. It was like getting told off his dad.

"I should really go and tell your parents about this," Toby informed him as Lee shook his head, his eyes pleading, "do you know how dangerous that was?"

"Yes," Lee answered meekly as he went to get the camera off of Toby but Toby managed to get it out of Lee's reach.

"What if you had gotten recognised?" Toby asked, carrying on his rant.

"No one's ever seen me with a beard," he replied. Toby had to give him that, if he was a member of the public he wouldn't know. Lee was surprised Lucy hadn't worked it out yet.

"What if you didn't make it back alive?"

"I did."

"Not my point. Why did you do it?" Toby sighed as he and Lee both fell to sit on the edge of his bed. Lee watched as Toby flicked the camera back on and began to scroll through the photos again.

"I just wanted to know what it was like. To have a bit of independence and not have to worry about anything. I really enjoyed it," Lee explained as Toby nodded his head. He could see why Lee wanted to get away. Having to stay inside the palace most of the time was a bit claustrophobic and his dad was really strict.

"Who's the girl?" Toby questioned as he showed Lee the camera.

On the screen was one of Lee's favourite photos. They had decided to have a Subway in the park. Lucy being shocked that he had never tried one before and insisted that he did. He had been snapping random shots with his camera when he had decided to jump and sit next to Lucy to take a photo of them both. They were sat under a tree and green light was on them because of the sun and leaves.

"That's Lucy," Lee mumbled as he smiled at the photo. He was going soppy.

"And who's Lucy?" Toby questioned as Lee shuffled a bit.

"Just someone I met," he vaguely answered as a smirk spread across Toby's face.

"You like her," he stated as Lee nodded before glancing at his phone. Five minutes. Standing up Lee began pacing back and forth. How was he going to start it? How was he go to ask her? Would she say no? Should he risk her finding out who he is? Yes he should.

"Does she know who you are?" Toby asked as Lee unlocked his phone before going to find Lucy's number. Putting his phone to his ear, Lee shook his head as he shushed Toby.

"Hello," Lee said down the phone as he carried on pacing back and forth. He was still nervous. He'd never asked a girl out before. He was doing a lot of firsts this week. Sure, he'd been on dates and had girlfriends but they were always set up by his dad, this was him.

"What are you doing?" Toby asked urgently as Lee blocked his door so Toby couldn't escape. He needed him on his side.

"Hi. Thank you for the coffees," he heard a woman's voice coming from the other side of the phone.

"It was no problem," Lee uttered as Toby raised a questioning eyebrow. Coffees? What coffee? "Um Lucy. I was wondering..." He trailed off as he fiddled nervously with his door handle.

"Yes?"

"What are you asking her?" Toby whispered loudly as Lee glared. If it wasn't so serious he would have found the scenario quite comical.

"I was wondering, if maybe you'd like to go on a date sometime? It doesn't have to be a date if you don't want to we could just hang out," And Toby's mouth dropped open as did Lucy's on the other side.

Toby began to stutter, "you can't...your parents."

Taking a deep breath Lucy answered around the lump in her throat, "I'd love to...go on a date with you." She could feel her heart flutter and her stomach do somersaults as she answered and she could feel Lee smile at the other end.

"Great. Is tomorrow ok?" He really hoped so because that was the only time he could get away without the risk of getting caught. Lee released the breath he didn't know he was holding when Lucy said she was, "I'll pick you up tomorrow. Two o'clock. Bye."

"Bye."

"You can't do that!?" Toby shouted as Lee shrugged his shoulders.

"I'm not going to let you do this," Toby uttered as Lee stopped him.

"Please Toby? I really like her. Can't you cover for me just this once?" Lee begged as Toby's gaze softened.

Giving in he replied, "Just this once. Have your phone on you. Not the one with the important phone numbers and if you get caught I wasn't involved. I'll also have one of the guards out on watch. Just in case."
