Normal POV

Brianna just sighed and yawned a bit as she was pinning up the laundry...It was normally Buttercup's job but she had a little free time...she was still lost in thought.

She clenched her hand over her chest, "Why does my heart feel so heavy and why do I wanna cry..." She sighed again, "Damn him...I was nothing to that jerk...but a good time...nobles don't fall for servants..."

"Bree." Bubbles was walking towards her as Brianna quickly wiped the tears away, "Maggie wanted me to make sure you were ok...you seemed out of it since the Jousting Tournament."

"It nothing."

"If you don't wanna talk about it, it's fine but just so you know, Buttercup and me...and Belle but...well Belle...are hear if you wanna talk." She was about to walk away when Brianna looked up.

"What if you met someone and they're not who they say they were."

Bubbles turned around and had to think a moment, "Well...Maybe they had a good reason."

Brianna sighes and brought down the laundry from earlier down and into the basket.

"Brianna?"

"I'm ok...I'll be fine." Brianna sighed again as she walks back in...

"YOU STUPID GIRL!" Lady Morbucks grabs her by the ear, causing Brianna to drop all the clothes, and pushes her into a chair, ""WHERE IS BUTTERCUP!"

"Ow!" Brianna was rubbing her ear, which was ringing from the screaming and the pinch, "What?"

"YOU HEARD ME YOU WORTHLESS WORM! WHERE IS THAT LAZY FRIEND OF YOURS!"

"How the hell-"

Brianna was slapped...her face paused for that moment...it took every inch of control she had not to break Lady Morbucks' nose. Brianna just touched her cheek

"Mother! You went too far...you can't just-" Bubbles stood by Brianna's side.

"Silence Child," Lady Morbucks sighed, "I will not have such vulgar language in my house understand, now then...since Buttercup isn't here...You will have to escort us to the New Town Shire and carry our bags. Come along Countess." Lady Morbucks had the carriage out, and Brianna dusted herself off and get into the front seat of the carriage next to the driver, "How dare that lazy child not show up, I'll be sure to give her a sound lashing."

Later on

Brianna was holding all the girls boxes except Bubbles. Brianna stumbled to the ground.

"Mother, don't you think we have enough..."Bubbles asked.

"Mommy...I'm getting Hungry!"Princess cried out.

"Of course my dear. We'll head back home." She turned to Brianna again, "C'mon you lazy no good girl."

Princess stuck her foot out and Brianna tripped and fell, scattering all the boxes to the ground...one of the boxes tumbled to a figure's foot.

"How clumsy of you...you should watch your step." Duchess sighed knowing that Princess tripped her.

"You did that! I'll tear you to shreds!" Brianna growled.

"Hurry up and pick those boxes up, you know Mommy doesn't like waiting." Princess laughed, dragging Bubbles away, so she wouldn't help her. Brianna gathered all the boxes and hurried to the carriage, "Wait, Brianna...I think you forgot my hat box."

It was true that one of the boxes were missing.

"You will find that hat box but I'm not going to sit here and wait for such a slow moron find my precious daughter's new hat. And don't bother coming back to the Manor until then." Lady Morbucks frowned as the carriage drove on, leaving Brianna behind.

"Mother you can't! It's going to rain again." Bubbles shouted.

"Oh Countess, a little rain never hurt anyone." Duchess said.

Butch's POV

I can't believe my luck...I helped her up.

"Black Rose...I mean..Countess..."I blushed as I could see her...her...let's say her clothes were clinging to her...well...I already figured she didn't have much of a chest...but...she still had quite a figure especially the legs. Her spiky hair draped over her face as usual...looking like a shaggy dog...but a beautiful one...and wearing that necklace.

"Your Highness?" She looked down, she was blushing and wrapped her arms around her body, as if she was naked, "Excuse me...but I didn't think...you were such a perv..."She said through her teeth.

"Your Highness...what are you looking at?" Ken asked me and I blushed even more.

"Oh yes...sorry." I pulled off my cape and draped it around her...staring into those eyes, but she was pouting and giving me this evil glare, "Indeed Scholar Utonium, you did capture a Mermaid...the prettiest one I've ever seen."

Thats when I heard a growl and a bark. I turned to see Poochie and that demon fighting and...it was winning. It even bit his tail...Poochie just yelped as this Kitten...it was the size of a kitten (cute) brought a Lion Dog to his back

"Poochie!" Ken cried.

"Fang...Fang come here!" She ordered him, just was that little griffin thing jumps on Poochie's back. The thing flew into her arms and gave me a hiss, "Sorry about that, he's not into...other animals as much." There was a envoys grin as Poochie was on his back with swirls in his eyes.

"Look at that...that monster took on that Lion dog, Poochie didn't stand a chance." I laughed as 'Fang' was on her shoulder, rubbing up against her face, "Ya know, Pets do take after their owners."

"What does that mean?" She looked at me, "He is just very protective of me and like I said...he's not too happy with small animals especially dogs or anyone I don't like."

"So you don't like me?" I asked and she had that cute blush again.

"What?"

"Well...he doesn't like me...so you don't like me...am I right?"

"So you like me?" I teased her but I wanted to know the truth of this interesting creature.

"Excuse me but I must go." She was already going to leave.

"Now hold on...I haven't seen you in a week...for a week...I had to deal with...boring...stupid noble women and servants who are afraid that I could chop their heads off-"

"Maybe because you could."

"But you're not afraid of me...and I like that...you don't let me walk over you."

"With all due respect your Highness-"

"Butch."

"Butch...I wouldn't even let you."

I smiled, she was frustrating me but in a good way if I could say that, "You see...already you're infuriating me...what do you have to say about that?"

"Get over it."

I smiled as she walked around, she was looking at my painting, "So...I see your a painter after all...how cool but...never mind. So aren't you going to introduce me to your friends here?" She was looking at Utonium and Ken, and Poochie was still on his back.

"Oh what about them? They're just Scholars...servants, not that important. What was it that you were going to say about the painting, that interest me. " I was baiting her and her look...that angry frown showed me it worked.

"Now I really gotta go." She was about to walk away but I jumped in the way again.

"You're mad at me."

"No." She tried to move around me but I just blocked her again.

"Admit it."

"Fine then...you're being a snob again."

"I am?"

"Yes...how can you say they're not important...that's a load of shit to me."

"Coming from a Countess who lives in luxury and can afford an expensive pet."

"Yes...I can't stand it when people look down on others because of their damn class...as the Prince and a future ruler...you should look at people for who they are and not their shit load of class. And you painting is crap."

"You said it was good."

"Yeah it's cool but you're just painting it...the enchanted woods is awesome and your painting is like whatever about it. There's no joy in it for you. It's like playing soccer, you don't play it to win...You play because it's fun...the happiness." She was practically glowing...such passion, "Life is great if you look at it that way."

"I'll be damn." I was amazed...I was.

"What?"

"Such passion, you surprise me every time...you play sports too..what kind of noble are you?"

"Well...I...It's just good exercise that's all..and it's fun." She was looking away.

"By the way...where is that white hair servant girl of yours?"

"You mean my friend, why?"

"It's just that...my cousin hasn't been himself lately...It seems that Lady Sophie exposed him... and your 'friend' wasn't too happy about that."

"Wait...your Cousin?"

"Yes, the High Grand Duke son...well actually...More of the High Grand Duke himself. Blitzkrieg Von Asheia."

"Is that why?" She mumbled low and she stood up quick, "Listen...I really have to go." It did look like we were in for another storm. She gave me back my cape.

"Wait, when can I see you again? I'm playing tennis with-"

She just waved back at me, as she was running off at too speed, "Good bye."

"Why does she keep doing that?" I looked at Scholar Utonium.

"My Prince, I'm a man of science...and I still don't understand women." Utonium laughed.

Buttercup's POV

I already past town When it started to rain...it was pretty heavy but I couldn't stop now.

I saw Brianna...who was walking...in this weather? What the hell is she thinking? She leaned against a tree when I stopped Titan.

"Brianna? What the hell? You know Witches don't do well with water! Especially Rain water!" This was bad especially if Brianna didn't argue back. She was coughing and her face was hot. Brianna was holding a hat box, " I have no choice." I carried Brianna back into the rain and climbed on Titan.

Witches were weak against water...as long as they didn't stay in it too long they would be fine but they can't use their magic if they're wet. Rain water was the worse...because rain water was pure...and believed to have light...streams and lakes are fine as long as they didn't stay for too long. I found that out when Brianna was in the steam looking for my mother's necklace when I lost it. Brianna looked so pale and sick when she returned it.

I made it home and carried her into into my house. I put her on my bed. Dad, Dave, and the twins stood up, this looked all to familiar...when Dad carried my mom into the house...

"Buttercup?"

"I need some clothes quick!" I yelled as Dave gave me a gown, and Dad gave me towels...I closed the door...this was all to familiar...Mom.

I stripped Brianna down...and wrapped her in towels, even her hair. Dave knocked on the door as I wrapped her around blankets.

"Dave, keep a close eye on her, I'll be back." I went back to the Manor with the basket and the hat box.

Lady Morbucks was already there, waiting. She smacked me in the face.

"WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?"

"I was out picking mushrooms...you wanted them yesterday-"

She slapped the basket out of my hand, "YOU STUPID GIRL! I DON'T WANT THOSE FILTHY MUSHROOMS NOW!"

"Well...here's the hat box." I was trying so hard to keep myself under control, Princess snatched the box from me, as she opened it, she screamed in outrage.

"ITS RUINED! DISGUSTING! I DON'T WANT THIS ANYMORE!"

I was at a lost for words... as I clenched my fists so tight.

"That lazy girl will pay for this...she ruined an expensive hat. We are going to add this to her debt."

"Well...I guess it's gonna have to wait, Brianna is sick...trying to bring your damn hat home...in the freezing rain." I snarled, I was already to fight but Belle stopped me.

"Oh my, Bree Bree is sick...you put her in the rain...oh my..." Belle smiled, "I was just stuck by an idea." Belle walked into the kitchen, "ITS TIME FOR LUNCH!"
