Normal POV
Bubbles was still working on the dress and Buttercup was groaning in absolute despair at wearing it...
"I'm sorry Buttercup, but then kind of dresses are extremely complicated even with magic." Bubbles lifted up a hand and a needle started to sew at the bottom part of the dress.
"I know, I know."
Brianna came into the room and quickly closed the door, "I'm about to lose it, Princess is trying to make me wear a matching dress to her ball gown, to make sure everyone knows I'm her *beeping* Lady's Maid."
"What are you wearing to the ball?" Bubbles asked.
Brianna sighed, but she did seem a little happy, "Maggie is making me something. I'm actually kinda excited, she won't even let me look at it. Not to mention, Elsa's been seeing her spending a lot of her money on it." Brianna sighed.
"What's up?" Buttercup asked.
"Maggie's been really working hard on it and Maybe it's just my imagination...but She's been looking paler...frailer...like she could fall apart of me."
"Well she is in her late 60s. That's a record in the day and age." Bubbles commented, she turned and smiled to Brianna's worried look, "Don't you worry I'm sure she's probably getting tired from the extra work and all. I can't wait to see this of yours and I know this is bad to say but I can't wait to see my sisters' and mother's mouth drop when the Duke grabs your hand and pulls you into a dance...It'll be so romantic. And The Crown Prince coming in and spiriting you away and the two of you dancing and staring into each other's eyes."
Buttercup was trying to hide a blush, "If we can finish this dress. And you and your Sweet heart will be happy too right?"
Bubbles looked at her, it was like she was trying so hard not to serious, "Buttercup, what are you talking about, I'm marrying Danny...I just found out, though the Baron wanted me for his own, My Daddy wouldn't allow it, because I should marry the heir. So it's been decided, and I'm happy." She gave them both a wink.
"What are you planning?" Brianna asked.
Bubbles just continued on the dress, "It's such a shame, if only I had some jade colored pearl necklace and a blue sash...this would make this dress perfect."
"Doesn't this stupid thing have enough on it?" Buttercup whined.
"Just shut up, and be grateful, Your Highness."
Buttercup turned into her famous peachy Rose blush but shook her head, "Dont call me that."
"Why not, it's the truth. Bubbles why don't you tell her what you told me?" Brianna snickered.
Bubbles giggled and was blushing a rosy pink, "Well...there's a rumor that the Crown Prince has a serious serious candidate for a Bride, after he spent all day outside, he came back to the castle, early that morning and was dancing. People thought he was sick."
Brianna gave Buttercup a smug grin, "Geez, I wonder what could have gave him that sort of reaction. Didn't something happen the day before."
The Peach Rose blush came back with a fierceness, and an embarrassing grin that she was trying to get rid of, she shook her head but the blush never disappeared as she was fuming, "Shut up, what about you? Didn't a certain someone want to the Duke's house and spent the night."
Bubbles gasped, and blushed a rosy pink color, when Belle just appeared out of no where, she had a red rosy blush as well, giggling.
Brianna suddenly had her famous tomato juice blush, "What? Shut up."
Belle crossed her arms, and gasped, "Bree Bree, I'm shocked at you. No wonder you've been eating more. Feeding for two?"
"What the hell," Brianna tomato blush turned into a deeper blood red, "You and your fat mouth...it's not like that, nothing happened. I'm just eating because I'm nervous too."
"Oh Bree Bree," Belle just held Brianna in head lock," You're still adorable when you're angry. Absoultely precious..."
"Yeah, a darling." Buttercup stuck her tongue out.
"Watch it out, Fairy Queen, ya know you look so cute in that dress."
"Oh no." Bubbles said as there was a dead silence.
Buttercup had about several tick marks appear, "I warned you never to say that. I'm turning you into plant food." Buttercup lifted her hands and this green dust appeared. Brianna's wand came out.
"I've got a hex with you're name all over it."
"Belle, you've gotta stop them." Bubbles begged.
"I wonder...Plant food...flowers...pie...cake...pudding...Pudding," Belle suddenly jumped in the middle of the intended showdown, "PEACE AND CRACKERS! WAIT!"
There was a silence...as Belle pointed to Mina.
"Mina write this down," Belle ordered and Mina suddenly had paper and a feather pen, "Flower Pudding cups...with cinnamon and crunchy almond sprinkles."
Everyone fell to the floor.
"What? Oh instead of cinnamon...Lemon...to give it that fresh Spring taste."
"You're hopeless Belle." Bubbles chuckled, and Brianna and Buttercup so chuckled along.
"Cinderella!"
"Oh Crap." Buttercup removed the dress, put her clothes back on and went down the stairs to see her Cousins waiting for her.
"Cinderella, when the mistress of the house is back, you should be there to greet us. Keep up this laziness and You'll stay at home for the Ball understood?"
Butch's POV
The Castle was still getting ready for the Ball, all the flower and paper decorations and the food and music...I haven't been able to get away, I would love nothing else but to get another chance at teasing Black Rose...not to mention kissing her...god damn it, I would to wrap my arms around those hips...I just sighed at the upcoming impatience, frustration, and exhaustion of dealing with those other maidens and noble women...Damn it all...I spent half of the day with Cornelius and Cornelia (who was still very sickly) but those kids were really funny. Cornelia threw things at Cornelius and me when we made two much noise and Cornelius was a big trouble maker, I think he was worse than us.
I was lying on my bed, trying to ignore my servants constant badgering over what to wear and if I want to be announced from the left side or right or what order to go by. I can't stand this endless nonsense. I took a lot at the potrait of her, honestly what did I know about her...
I really doubt her name is really Black Rose, it just didn't fit. I can't believe she's related to the Morbucks either...even though she was in their house...while they were away but she could have been visiting them. I mean c'mon it has to be a lie...what better way to keep me away than tell me that lie. Hiw could she be related to them, it's...it's like a rare gem being right next to Stones...very ugly nasty looking stone.
Beast looks her, he trusts her...which is a big thing...Beast has been actually pretty decent...Brick has been in a foul mood, but he looked like he was ready to jump out of his skin. Blitz has been a no show all day...Damn it and Boomer, I've even seen a blonde hair...I have to see her again...
I was dying to tease her, for even a punch...ok not a punch but she hits worst than Brick...I just wanted to make sure she was coming...I was twisted in knots...I'm the cold hearted Prince, I don't have emotions...but here I was...ready to go insane over some girl...not just a girl...she's fantastic...she's a pain in the ass, she pisses me off, and that temper...oh man...that temper...it's so hot...she's so hot and that fantastic body, dear god...she's fit...and those legs...
Calm down Butch, just in two days...two days...don't go all crazy and look desperate...I can wait...I can wait to propose. But where should I propose...In the garden...yeah...by the water foundation, it's private there...
I just gotta act cool, I pulled out a case, this ring was meant for Sophie (Wasn't my idea) I had it remade...it's a silver ring, with an emerald gem on the stone.
The longer I looked at the ring, the more I think, my heart was gonna burst...
The one thing that drove me insane...
"Will you say yes?"
Buttercup's POV
I was kinda nervous about seeing that Bardock knight guy around again, normally I would be ok...I mean, the whole Estate, us serfs didn't mind him around and about, he was actually doing a good job. The Morbucks lowered on the taxes to the point that soon, we would be out of here, especially with my pay...and Lord Morbucks even gave me a bonus...I guess for all my hard work. But with Dad not wrestling again, and the farming tax, money was still gonna be pretty tight, but if we could just...we were so close.
But now, I just was so confused with this whole thing...with Butch...What if...I was so confused and frustrated and feeling so sick, I didn't even burn the soup.
"Buttercup is there something wrong?" Dad just asked, I guess he was shocked.
"Oh nothing...oh well...I have to work late tomorrow...at night."
Dad gave me this worried look, "Why?"
"Well, my beloved cousins are taking me to the Ball as a Lady's Maid," I lied a little, but Dad just sighed in relief.
"Oh yes if course, that means I'll be cooking."
Sam and Sammie just cried and hugged me, Sam said, "BB DON'T GO! POP WILL FEED US NASTY YUCKY STUFF! SAMMIE SAID SHE WOULD LIKE BURNT SOUP BETTER!"
Dave smiled but he was ready to cry too, "Please dear god no, I can't stand it!"
"Now I'm gonna treat you guys to a healthy meal of Liver and Onions, put some hair on your chest!" My dad laughed, "In fact, I've been trying some new recipes."
"I DON'T WANT HAIR ON MY CHEST!" Sam cried out loud, then Sammie pointed at Dad, and Sam nodded,"That's right, Sammie said you feed us bad food and we'll give you our special attack."
"You two bring it! I can take any move." Dad was posing, I was patting Fang as I was giving him some soup to eat.
"Dave, why don't you just cook again?" I asked him.
Dave had this serious look, "Dad, you know that Bardock guy has been asking around?"
I just felt really nervous again.
"Oh really?" Dad just shrugged his shoulders.
"You don't think it's about...you know what?" I asked, I had a real bad feeling about this.
"I think it's time we got these little ones in bed." Dad just smiled and hugged the twins, "Buttercup, you can take your bath first, Dave can watch the dishes and I can tuck these two in."
I was sitting in the barrel, my knees to my stomach, this was awful...Dad...Oh Dad...I'm scared...with everything going on...what if he finds out? What if he arrests Dad...Maybe Butch could- Scartch that...I would have to tell him...and about me...But he has to figure it out eventually...especially at the Ball.
Oh Crap, I just realized something, my Cousins will probably expose me...If I even go...But I...Kinda want to...Oh c'mon Buttercup, since when were you into parties and snobs and fancy things like that. I have more important things to do, like taking care of my family...Maybe...I'll go to say good bye...I got up out of the barrel, Fang wouldn't dare come in this room, not with this water. But I know he's waiting by the door.
But I don't...don't want to say good bye...the guy is my total opposite...I like sports and being out doors...he'a so out of shape and pale but he did hold his own in that Gypsy fight. Not to mention, we watch a jousting Tourament and He took me to a game of soccer...but he hates sports. BUT HE'S A PERVERT! What man slaps a girl on the butt and checks her out through her wet clothes and through her gown or underwear! THAT SLIM BALL!
I walked out of the room, Dave was getting ready for his barrel after I dumped the water out by myself.
"Hey Buttercup, you ok?"
"Yes why?"
"You look a little warm."
"Huh?" I felt my cheeks, oh crap...the bath was pretty cold...but my face was burning up, Oh no I'm still thinking about the Prince, "I'm fine."
"What's with the stupid grin? And why do you look so peaceful? What's going on?" Dave gave me that same smug look Brianna gave me earlier.
I put both hands on my cheeks, they were smoking, and I couldn't get that grin off my face. Just think about something else, something else.
"Enchantress."
"OH NO!" I was screaming inside of my head as I thought of those darker emerald eyes, that pale slender figure, that damn half arrogant smile.
"Buttercup, what's going on? You look like you're about to set yourself on fire." Dave smiled and I punched his arm.
"Take your damn bathe, I'm going to bed."I sighed as I osed the door, I just need to think about something else...something else.
Of all the things to come inside my head...
THE ACCIDENTALLY KISS
"So, how about a kiss?" He smiled at me.
And how I just lunged at him...for a kiss
Why does this keep playing back in my head...and I feel good about it...Unless...UNLESS...UNLESS!
A horrible fact came inside of my head...
"I'm...I'm ACTUALLY IN LOVE WITH THAT PREVERTED BASTARD!"
