After we got done eating Zen and I went out for a walk around the castle ground. "Look Zen. The tree is changing colors." I said, walking up to a tree and pick up a yellow leaves. Zen looked up at the tree and hold my hand. The wind blow making the leaves stranded Zen and I.
"It beautiful, Shirayuki just like you." Zen said, pulling me close to him. He lends down and gives me a French kiss for the first time. I wrap my arms around his neck and deeper the kiss. "I love you." he said breathing heavily.
"I love you too." I said, looking deeper in his blue eyes. Zen put on of his hand on my hips ad the other hold my right hand. I put my other hand on his shoulder. We lend in our nose are touch each other. We are starting to dance to the sound of the wind.
"It gets starting to get cold outside, Shirayuki." Zen said, stop dancing.
"Yeah, let's go back inside." I said, took his hand and walked back in the castle. Zen walked me to my room.
"I will see you tomorrow." He said, giving me a kiss on the lips.
"See you tomorrow." I said, walking in my room and close the door behind me. I walked over to my bed and got in bed. I pull the cover over my body and fall asleep.
The next morning I woke up to the sound of the birds singer on my window seal. I heard a knocking on my door. I swing my legs off the bed and walked over to answer the door; it is Zen. "Good morning, sleepyhead." He said with a smile.
"Good morning *yawn* Zen," I said, looking at him. Zen let out a laugh.
"Get dress we are going somewhere." He said, looking at me.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"Get dress first then I will tell you." He said, lending against the wall.
"Okay." I said, closing the door and change my clothes. After I got dress and went back out in the hallway where Zen is waiting for me. We walked down the hallway and outside where Kiki, Mitsuhide, and Obi is waiting with three horses and a carriage.
"Prince Zen, are you ready to head out?" Mitsuhide asked, looking at Zen. Zen and I walked down the stairs and went up to Mitsuhide.
"Yes, lets head out now." Zen answer, open the carriage door and let me get in first. After Zen got in the carriage. We left the castle ground.
"You did not tell me where we are going." I said, looking at Zen who is sitting next to me in the carriage.
"We are going to a pumpkin patch." He answers, looking at me with a smile.
"Why a pumpkin patch?" I asked with a confused look on my face. Zen let out a laugh.
"Halloween is just the corner, and we need to get some pumpkin for the Halloween ball." Zen explain.
"Where is this pumpkin patch?" I asked.
"It outs in the country." Zen answer. After a while the carriage comes to a stop. Zen open the door and step out of the carriage first. He reaches his hand out to me and help me out of the carriage. I looked around a saw lot of pumpkin everywhere no wonder they call it a pumpkin patch. Kiki walked up beside me.
"Every year in October the servant come out here to get some pumpkin for the Halloween Festival. But this year Zen want us to come and get the pumpkin and take them back to the castle." Kiki explain on why we come to a pumpkin patch.
"What all going on a the Festival?" I asked, looking at Kiki.
"Will the little kids be carving a pumpkin and Zen is planning on reading a Halloween to the kids. Also bobbing for apples and other games, I can't think of on the top of my head." Kiki said, let out a laugh."Oh, I almost forgot there going to be a haunted house." Kiki said, looking at me.
"That sound like fun." I said with a smile. Zen walked in the field where the pumpkin are at. Follow behind Zen is Obi and Mitsuhide who is already starting to pick the pumpkin and putting in the back on the carriage so we can take it back to the castle. After a while we got done getting the pumpkin and heading back to the castle.
"Shirayuki." Zen call out to me. I turn my head to look at him. "Did you have fun today?" Zen asked with a smile on his face.
"Yeah, I have a lot of fun, Zen." I said, give him a kiss on the lips. Zen wrap his arms around be and I laid my head on his shoulder and close my eyes. I listen to his breathing.
"We are back at the castle, Shirayuki." Zen said. I did not realize I fell asleep in Zen arms. The servant walked up to the carriage and starting to carry the pumpkin two by two in the castle. Zen and I walked inside follow by Kiki, Obi and Mitsuhide.
"Zen you have a meeting today." Mitsuhide said, looking at Zen.
"Okay, Lets me walk Shirayuki back to her room and I will be there." He said, walking up the staircase holding my hand. We walked down the hallway and finally come cross my bedroom.
"I will come back after the meeting is over." He said, give me a kiss on the lips before walked back down the hallway. I walked in my room and sit down on the couch. I pull out a book and starting to read it while I wait for Zen to returned.
