The Dance
As I look around the outside, my brother helps me out of the carriage and walks me inside. Luckily, our mother and brother don't recognize us. I see Marko and Richard in the distance talking, which causes me to smile. Dipper walks off to meet Violet while I make my way to Marko and Richard. They smile and we greet each other. "I knew you would make it.." Richard says. "Well.. I do have to keep an eye out for my mother and Damien.. I would be done for sure if they find out..." Marko flashes a reassuring smile. "Don't worry.. We'll make sure they don't spot you." I sigh with relief and hug both of them. "Thank you so much.." Just as they were about to respond, I feel a hand on my shoulder. "Oh, brother. Good to see you here." My eyes widen a bit and turn around, revealing a smiling purple figure. I recognize him instantly, and curtsy as professionally as I could muster. "Your Highness.." He smiles and bows as well. "Lovely to meet you.. My brother's been telling me about you." I smile and glance at Richard, who nods and I look back at the man in front of me. He holds out his hand to me, and I look up at him, slightly confused. "Would you mind to join me in this dance..?" He asks me, smiling. My eyes widen a bit as I stare at him. Honestly, I was too shocked to say anything. He tilts his head slightly. I take a deep breath. "I.. Would love to.. Your Majesty..." I say as I hold his hand. He walks me to the center of the dance floor. "Please.. No need for formalities." The music starts as we both start dancing. I glance over to see Dipper dancing with Violet, then look back to the prince. I can feel my heart beating fast as we look into each other's eyes, not breaking eye contact. We stayed like that for the next few minutes and the song ends. I look over to my twin, who looks at me and smiles. The prince takes me outside, where we walk through the gardens talking. We sit on a bench near the rose maze and look into the moonlight. "It's.. An amazing view here..." I say, breaking the silence. "It is.. Isn't it..." He says, putting a rose behind my ear. I look up at him and smile. He smiles back and leans in to kiss me. Just before he does, I hear the bell ring and get up quickly. "I-I'm sorry, but I must leave..." I say before running. "But wait..!" He yells after me. Dipper and I come home and get undressed just before our mother and brother got home.
