"Surely on the first date, the man kisses the lady. I don't know but I hear the lower class dates...So why not?"

My face felt hotter than ever and my heart was thumping, the twins and Fang were looking up at us, "This wasn't a date...stop teasing."

He leaned closer to my face, "I'm not teasing...my servant Ralph, told me...he was dating a house maid...He is quite a nice guy now that I made him comfortable in talking to me...He told me...if the Nobles dated...then they would find out if they get along or not. Very wise...so I thought...why not?"

I pushed him away, "First of all you jerk, this wasn't a date...my brother and sister are here, so it doesn't count...and why would I date you and don't you dare say because *whispering* you're a Prince." I was still blushing and trying so hard not to smile because...I was trying so hard not to fight it...but...I...I...kinda liked that attention.

"You are one of a Kind." He just said and it just made my heart spin in circle, "In fact-So...this is an unofficial date, if your brother and sister weren't here, it would have been official. And here I thought I might as well give this to the twins." He pulled this big weird white thing...I saw it before at the lake, "Its called a Kite, our Royal Scholar invented...and I believe it's perfect for these two. This thing actually flies in the air."

The twins were just jumping up and down, So excited...

"Peeeeaaasss, BB, peas." Sam was begging, and Sammie was jumping up.

"Look at those cute faces. Can you honestly say no?" He pointed down as the twins' eyes got bigger.

"If that's so, Butch, why don't you give it to them?"

"I'm immune to cute, well...except there is someone who I think is the cutest thing ever."

"I wonder who this bastard thinks is cute?"

Ijust looked at him, he was smiling down at the twins, explaining to him about the kite, I was twirling the necklace around my finger, "Go ahead."

"BB!" Sam whined.

"Wagon...now." I stomped and they ran off, but was pouting.

He looked at me with a half smile, "Well...that's too bad but oh well." He was about to walk away but I sighed...and felt like punching myself for what I was about to do. I couldn't stand it...but...I saw Mom doing it to a vendor one time...and time to give him a taste of his own medicine. And I didn't want the twins to see this.

I said in a low voice, "You're right...that is bad," This was so uncomfortable as I wrapped my arms around him and was close to his face, he looked stunned and confused but he was blushing.

"Countess?"

I hated it when he caed me that, so I shushed him, "Oh c'mon now...you really wanna make them and...me...unhappy," I smiled, wrapping my arm around his neck, "You wanna make me unhappy...but I'll be happy, if they are...and you know what I'll do if I'm happy, Your Majesty...you'll be happy. "

He gulped, in my complete control, "Oh...I was gonna...give it-"

I shushed him, "Come here and I'll tell you how I'll make you happy," I smiled and moved closer to his ear, "You'll be happy...

In one swift move, Butch was in one of my headlocks...

"If you give me that kite...or you'll stay like this until you agree." I grinned, ok Mom didn't do that but I really couldn't stomach it anymore, "Well your highness-"

Butch did something, he had one arm around my hand and another my waist and...I don't know how...but I was threw back, and lying on the back. He just pinned me down, inches away from my face.

"That son of a bitch...no one has ever broken through my head locks...no one and that spoiled Prince just threw me to the ground...like it was nothing...I'm impressed...that was fantastic...that asshole...can be fantastic."

The position I was in, made me uncomfortable...but...I guess I was ok...I...I'm impressed.

He instantly read that damn smile on my face, "I surprised you huh? My enchantress, well...just a little something I picked up from Brick, in case you had an urge to bring me close to you."

"What? DON'T KID YOURSELF," I glared at him, "Don't get full of yourself, SIRE." I said through my teeth. I pushed my foot up against him and pushed him off, causing him to fall over beside me and I jumped on to of him.

"It seems I have a lot to learn, huh?"

"Yeah," I really had to get going, if Lady Morbucks came by here, "Listen...I'm really impressed by your...well...I heard about your improvements by putting Knight Constables into the towns and stuff." I got off of him and sat right beside him.

"Well, I discovered that the other constables have been turning a blind eye and accepting bribes from...'unknown' parties...when I tried to look into the conditions of the serfs. The Knight Constables I let Beast pick."

"Why?"

"Beast may be the shyest person on the planet but he knows people, maybe because he's a Fauna, but he can read them vey very well."

I was nervous about this, the way Beast said that he thought I looked more like a Buttercup, how he believes how honest I am, when I know I'm not...I've been lying to the Crown Prince, I've been trying to get away from him.

"Except that hot servant girl of yours, I'm assuming if she's your servant girl, please...I'm not trying to be mean or anything...But he can't read her...and I believe he finds her...what was the word...'Fascinating'...I think she's weird as hell."

"You don't have to tell me that."

"But I can't believe you let her use her magic?"

"Well...I think that...it's part of Belle right, and she's a Wicca...but...I don't think it's fair for the Lower Class to be forbidden to use their magic."

"Well, it's for their own protection, that's what Dad said. That the Lower Class would ended up using it against the Nobles and that they don't know how...they'll end up killing themselves."

I was getting irritated again, "And who's fault is that? If Your father stopped babying the Lower Class and maybe taught them or set up Magic schools that they could afford then maybe...maybe People wouldn't have to live in fear."

He looked at me confused.

"I really have to go." I stood up, dusting myself off.

"Once again, you're upset."

"I'm not upset ok. I just think...I think its stupid that's all...what if-" He stood up and grabbed me by the arms and pulled me closer to his body. But I could hear Bubbles calling me, "Sire...Butch...I really gotta go...Pop will be worried soon."

"Well then...I'll let you go...if...since I gave you this kite out of the kindness of my heart, how about the next time we meet...it's a date."

"Stop teasing me, you have so many other girls...and nobles...falling at your feet...why me? Huh? I don't have...I'm not pretty, I'm plain...and...I like dressing in pants, I can't stand dresses...my hair makes me look like a shaggy dog...I'm not a lady." I stomped.

"Not to mention, hardly any appeal and no chest."

He pushed my chin up by the face, "Well...then...who told you that? I say you have a jealous person hanging around you...you're anything but plain. Now then, I'm not gonna let you go until you agree to go on a date with me."

"I like to see you try and hold me." That's when...I heard my Dad's voice, I was so pissed at him but I can't let him see me talking to a Prince or any guy for that matter. Dad is super protective, I haven't told him about Danny's flirting because he might tear him apart, and Dad would be imprisoned and sent away for sure. Can you imagine if he tried to take on the Crown Prince, it's over.

"Don't even try to use your magic either, I heard you're an Earth Fairy, so...you are an enchantress, after all."

"And what makes you think we'll make again huh?" I stomped, fuming back he grabbed me by the face.

"Well...I have a feeling that we will. Somehow, fate is pulling us together, no matter how much you may pull away, "He sounded hurt when he said that, he sighed and showed that calm, cold face of his, "Look Tiger, if you really don't wanna go on a date with me...then...then...I'll let you go."

"Huh?" I could hear Dad...he was walking a little further away, and I could breathe but Bubbles was still calling out my name. I was now feeling a little guilty by Butch's saddened expression, damn him...He wasn't that bad of a guy...and he's really been helpful...I still owned him a lot...plus...I...I...think he's not totally bad...

"I don't wanna force you into something that you don't want to. If I-"

"Fine, I'll do it." I growled and he just looked at me.

"Don't try to spare my feelings, you're insulting me...be honest, if you don't want to then that's fine. I just see you different from those girls, you wanna know why? You speak your mind, you're not intimidated by my title, and yes you don't fall to my feet as you said, you're a diamond in the rough...but if you don't find me as worthy-"

"I said, I'll date you...but only if we meet again...gives you a bit of a challenge."

"And you're not leaving the Kingdom, you're not going back to Flora? Because I'll come after you...I'm not to ashame to say that much. Honestly...I get real uncomfortable saying all that stuff before."

"No. I'm staying here...and I'll tell you my reasons why I accepted going on a date with you...on this so called date." I grabbed the kite and Fang rested on my shoulder, I bowed to him, " But don't sell yourself short, Sire. You're...you're can be a nice guy when you want to be too. And I think you'll be a wonderful King." I gave him a playful punch to the cheek and...this was embarrassing but...a kiss on the cheek.

"Maybe...if I found the right Queen."

I thought that's what I heard him say. I was able to grab Bubbles' hand, who unfortunately for me...saw it.

Sooner or later if...we keep meeting and he'll find out...and for the strangest reason, I would rather be jailed or sent away then to see him disappointed in me or even think that I was like all those other noble girls, after him...except I wasn't a noble. I was a serf...I mean...maybe a cross breed as Lady Morbucks said...plus I hate how he calls me Black Rose but...that's what I got.

Bubbles decided to ride with us, because she wanted to. She told all of us about her secret romance, but she already told me. The Twins were enjoying their new toy.

"Yay...it's Tea Time." Belle was pulling out some snacks from her basket and somehow, a tea set, and hot tea, "This is Jasmine."

"I have my own damn problems, Lady Morbucks saw The High Grand Duke talking to me and she blames me for him wanting to leave." Brianna was handed the tea set.

"Don't be such a worry flurry, Bree Bree...Wasn't that Pumpkin just the cutest? He's so precious and shy and just so cute...I thought I would have to bake him into a pie." Belle giggled wildly and Blossom agreed.

"But Brick, I can't believe he's a Prince...and not just any Prince but the Red Hot, passionate Prince...can you imagine, us...meeting the Princes. It's like a Fairy Tale. And Brianna has the High Grand Duke around her finger. Bubbles has her own sweet Prince."

"Except with a rude waking, the Princes have to...we can't be with them." I said, sighing as I patted Fang, still driving the wagon. It strangely hurt to say that, but it was true.

We finally arrived at the Manor, I offered Blossom to escort her back home back she refused, saying she needed a little workout from eating all those snacks.

"Well...its about time." Lady Morbucks was standing at the door, she looked madder than ever, but not as pissed off as I was, "I don't like being disobeying."

"Well, I don't like it when someone breaks their word." I said right in front of her face, everyone just gasped, even Lady Morbucks' eyes widened in shock, but I was more pissed off. I was pissed that my Dad broke his word, I was pissed that Lady Morbucks broke her word, I was pissed that I was lying to a pretty decent guy, who deserved better.

"How dare you? You forget to who you're speaking to! I can have you horse whipped. You Serfs have too much freedom, talking back and all this nonsense and disobeying me. I told you to stay in the wagon, and you couldn't even follow that simple rule."

"What rule? We had an agreement! Me and Brianna cleaned this house from top to bottom, and didn't even eat so that we could finish! All I ask was to take my baby brother and sister to the circus and you go back on your word. You're in the wrong...if you want to torture me, that's fine but I won't let you hurt my brother and sister, they've done nothing to you...nothing...nothing...if the Crown Prince didn't take pity on those sad little confused faces-" I covered my mouth, but it was too late. Everyone's mouth dropped.

"Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn! Damn!"

"The Crown Prince, so he was there...you have to tell me everything...and I mean Everything." She grabbed me around the wrist.

"Don't touch BB!" Sam yelled but it was Sammie who kicked Lady Morbucks' shin and stuck her tongue out at them. She was holding the kite and hid right behind me.

"The insolence, how dare you let those filthy brats touch our Mommy." Duchess glared at me, "It's unbelievable that the Prince would pity them horrid little devils."

"He just let the guards let us through, that's all." Brianna said, "He thought...all children should enjoy the Circus. We said, thank you and he went back into the Castle."

"So these little ones attracted the Crown Prince huh?" She looked like she was plotting another one of her schemes.

"Don't even think about it!" I yelled at her, "If you excuse me, I'm taking the twins home. If I can, Cousin." I said out loud, so that the whole manor knew. I knew that I would pay for this, but I just had to say something that would draw her attention away from the fact that I actually talked to the Prince. Plus, it was Duchess that I was worried about. She could figured it out with ease. Now, I just had to get home and fight Dad.


Normal POV

Lady Morbucks was furious about how Buttercup called her Cousin right in front of the whole household for every one to hear.

"That insolent Girl is going to have some extra chores." She was walking by Bubbles' room, and looked through the crack in the door. Bubbles had her wand in her hand, and this dress...this dress...beautiful dress floating in the air...some green thread was floating in the air.

"Oh my, her dress is prettier than I remember, crafted by the Elves of Flora themselves, simple but elegant," Bubbles smiled, as she was looking through a book, "This will be difficult, I don't want to ruin this dress. Maybe I should practice the enchanting stitching on something else. One mistake and this is ruined."

"That Dress...it's...Oh my," Lady Morbucks smiled at the beauty of that Silver and Green dress with its floral designs and its enchanted lace and silk, "It's perfect."

Lady Morbucks smiled at the lovely thought of making Buttercup pay for her insolence and getting the Prince's attention.

(Alright, I know what's coming, bring on the I hate Lady Morbucks' and LunaPok, put down the chainsaw. Use Belle's scythe)
