Dan and Keaka made it  to the Castle, climbing over the wall and sitting in the Willow tree which Shauna usually sat under. "What's your plan now?"
"Well, the royal guard are after me now, and they aren't going to look for me here. But, your friends with the Princess and you can try get me a forgiveness?" He pleaded with his usual devilish smile. "What did you steal? It has to be something important if there is a fucking manhunt after you."
"I stole some jewls, appearntly they are very vaulable and old. I thought I could sell it and escpe poverty, but I didn't realise how important it was."
"You twat."

"Do they think I'm an idiot?" Shauna whispered to themselves as they starred out of the window. She saw the two of them sitting in the tree, she had no idea what they were doing, but it was odd. Keaka and Dan sat there for a while, she couldn't take her eyes off of Keaka. They looked scared and excited at the same time, she couldn't figure out what was going on; so out of pure curiosity and the want to be with Keaka, Shauna made her way over to them.

Rushing through the castle, through the grounds and standing under the tree. Keaka looked down at them shilst Dan looked between the two of them. The two of them were gazing into each others eyes, Keaka's clouded chocolate eyes, and Shauna's gleeming coffee eyes. "Are you guys going to kiss or?" Dan said dragging out the last word. "A dress?" Shauna questioned, fully aware of the fact Keaka never liked dresses.
"Yeah, we are trying to hiud from guards men because Dan is a nob." Shauna turned to the smuggly smiling boy in the low-priced red peasent dress. He through the jewls over to Shauna, however due to  Shauna's poor catching skills, they fell to the floor. "I forgot you can't catch."
"It's not that I can't catch, I just don't like sports, plus I caught your heart." Shauna joked.
"Oh my." Keaka laughed unable to even argue.

Shauna was right, they had fallen for the Princess, they never meant too, but they couldn;t help it. And it wasn't because of her title, nor beauty, but her personailty. Keaka loved the sarcasm, the lack of common sense they both shared, the jokes and laughter. Keaka was always distracted by Shauna's laughter, it was sweet and honest. Both of them always jokenly flirted, but recently the jokes felt real, as if they were no longer jokes but reality. Or at least Keaka meant everything, every compliment, every flirtaous comment, every loving smile, it was all conrete, even if Keaka wasn't aware of it.

Shauna managed to focus again, turning to Dan. "Let me guess, you dragged Keaks into this, because you want Royal forgiveness?" Shauna asked becaoming serious. Dan nodded in response, hopefully. "Nah, I'll just blame Keaks for it all."
"Hey!" Keaka replied trying to stop their smile.
"Pfft- lets do it!" Dan said with a sense or thrill.

Dan jumped out of the tree stumbling to his feet, whilst Keaka climbed down it. "And you say I have no common sense." They said looking at Shauna as Dan got to his feet.
"I have common sense, I'm just reckless."

"What do you mean?" The Queen said enraged. She was followed by members of her noblemen, they rsuhed through the halls. "The guardsmen are rebelling, they went mad after The Brunsden Jewls where stolen." The eldest said walking to the Queen's right holding reports. "Why? They are meritless, worth as much as a loaf of bread."
"We don't know your highness, but they are all hunting down the child who stole them."
"And who is this child?"
"One of the kitchen staff, a boy named Dan, his surname is unregistered, must be in deep poverty or an orphan from birth."

They carried on dashing down the cold, stone foyers'. As they did Shauna, Keaka and Dan passed them, the youngest Nobleman who stood at the back grabbed on to Dan's arm. "Your highness, this is the kitchen boy." Dan feel back, catching his feet, Shauna and Keaka turned around seeing the event unfold. In sudden shock Keaka had grabbed on to Shauna's hand, in comfort Shauna squeezed their hand. "You, boy where are the Brunsden Jewls?" The elder nobleman asked interigating him.
"Anderson!" The Queen said, demarding him to release Dan and back off in one word. She approched Shauna who handed her the Jewls. "These are worthless, you might as well brought a loaf of bread." Dan stared at the Jewls in frustration. "So I've just been running from Royal Guards over a fucking loaf of bread?" To which the Queen replied with a single nod.

"Why are the guards after him then?" Keaka queried, still holding Shauna's hand.

"We, we don't know. They seem to be revoliting. They sent us a scroll stating that if we didn't, or them locate the Jewls in the next 24 hours they would attack." One of the noblemen said, she handed Shauna the scroll pointing at some of the words. Shauna looked up at the nobleman then turned to her mother. "Well let's go give it to them."
