The next morning, everything seemed to be pretty quiet in the palace until…..

"I HAVE NEVER BEEN SO INSULTED!" Dash yelled as he exited the palace. King Jeremy just looked at him in shock and wondered what could've possibly have happened that made Dash storm out like that, but then he looked at his sports jacket and noticed it had some burn holes on the back.

"GOOD LUCK MARRYING HER OFF!" Dash yelled as he slammed the doors shut. Jeremy just shook his head and then headed outside, near the fountain was his only daughter Sam Manson reading a book about vampires.

Sam was not like a lot of princesses, instead of wearing pink she wore black, instead of wearing high heels, she wore combat boots and she didn't eat meat because she was an ultra-recyclo vegetarian. Although Jeremy loved his daughter, he'd find her to be a bit difficult sometimes, especially this time. Her only friend in the palace was Tucker whose father worked as a palace guard.

By law, the princess must choose a prince that she will marry when she's old enough by their 14th birthday and she only had three more days to pick one. Sam on the other wished her father would understand that she's not ready for any of it, she wanted to fall in love not just pick a guy and get married later.

"SAM! Why did Prince Dash storm out?" Jeremy asked angrily, until he saw a laser beam shoot at his feet, he then looked up and saw Sam's best friend Tucker on his PDA and he figured out why Dash had burn holes on his jacket.

"So that is why he stormed out!" Jeremy exclaimed.

"Oh dad, Tucker was just testing out the new feature on his PDA. Right Tucker?" Sam said smiling at her friend.

"Yeah I guess Prince Dash just go in the way" Tucker said and then they both laughed about it, until they saw Jeremy's face and they immediately became silent.

"Samantha, you know the law. You've already rejected 5 suitors and you're running out of time" Jeremy tried to explain.

"Dad look I don't want to marry some stranger. I actually want to fall in love and if you were really a father you'd allow me to do it. I mean come on! I'm not allowed to things on my own, I never even been outside the palace walls" Sam said crossing her arms.

"Because you're a princess" Jeremey snapped.

"Well maybe I don't want to be a princes anymore!" Sam shouted and the Jeremy just walked away in anger. He went inside and sat down in his office, he placed his hands on his head in an attempt to try and reduce the headache that was growing. The door opened and standing in the doorway was Vlad Masters along with a small kid like ghost named Youngblood who dressed up like a pirate.

"Ah Vlad, I'm so glad you're here" Jeremy said as he shook Vlad's hand.

"Of course your majesty, what can I do for you?" Vlad said with a grin as he bowed.

"I just don't know what to do about Sam and this whole marriage business" Jeremy groaned.

"Don't worry Captain, Vlad-man can fix it" Youngblood said acting like an innocent kid.

"Oh hi Youngblood. Here's a lollipop" Jeremy said and then he shoved a lollipop in Youngblood mouth.

Youngblood hated when he did that, but he couldn't blow his cover. Vlad smiled and then said, "You certainly have a way with children" which cost him a glare form Youngblood.

"I may be able to find the solution to your problem, I just need to borrow your blue diamond ring" Vlad said and then before Jeremy could protest, he pulled out red glowing orb from his jacket and waved it in front of his face.

The orb produced a red hypnotic effect and Jeremy handed Vlad his ring, Vlad then released the spell and left Jeremy alone within his office dazed and without memory of being hypnotised. Vlad then pushed a button on a wall in the hallway and the wall opened to reveal a staircase. As the two went down the stairs, Youngblood spat the lollipop out.

"YUCK! If he does that one more time, I'll make him walk the plank!" Youngblood shouted.

"Don't worry, soon I'll be king and we won't have to worry about that oaf any more or his gothic daughter" Vlad said evilly.

In the dead of night, Sam walked through the garden with a hooded jacket on. She looked around to make sure no one had noticed her and then she began climbing the wall, only to be stopped by Tucker who grabbed onto her ankle and whispered, "What are you doing Sam?"

"I'm sorry Tucker, but I can't stay any longer. I don't want my life planned for me anymore" Sam said as she got down. The two then hugged each other tightly.

"I'll miss you Sam" Tucker said as he let her go.

"Me too, goodbye Tuck" Sam said and the then she departed over the wall.
