"I've been looking for you since yesterday," Elle continued to scream at her daughter.
Fira replied to her mother, "I'm sorry but I wanted to talk to you about the dress."
"What about it is something wrong? It's a lovely dress," Elle said it shock.
"Nothing is wrong with it but I don't like the color and I wish we could edit the sleeves. The sleeves are really long and…" Fira said.
"Long sleeves? I told you that you had to wait till the whole design was done. The dress that you were wearing is the one we were editing, it is no where near done," Elle said.
Fira looked at her mother confused and said, "Oh so what does the dress look like?"
"It's like… hold on," Elle told her daughter. Elle went over to the desk and got out two pictures. She gave them to Fira. One was a dress long and red, with thin straps. The other was short and blue with short sleeves.
"Mother the dresses look nothing like this, not even the color is the same," Fira told her mother.
"I told them to make a editable draft then we would undo it and make a final one for your birthday," Elle said.
Fira sighed, "Mother why didn't you tell me this?"
"I was saving it as a surprise I wanted for you to be shocked at the final dress," Elle said.
"Well they are beautiful dresses, thank you. Well I got to go I will be back so you can finish the dresses there is something important I have to do." With that Fira ran outside. She had to find Tommy; she didn't want to have to marry Zax's brother Steve even though he was nice. She needed Tommy to give up his idea that a princess shouldn't marry a commoner. Finally after looking for thirty minutes she found Tommy, he was out in the rose garden. "Tommy!"
Tommy turned and saw Fira running towards him, "Hey I was just thinking about you."
All of a sudden Tommy turned bright red, "Oh really," Fira said.
"That's not what I meant to say I meant to say I was wondering where you were, cause usually your out here around this time," Tommy said.
"Ya, wait how did you know that," Fira asked.
Tommy looked over at her and said, "I'm usually looking out my window at the sunset and I see you down here, it really is beautiful."
"Yes it is," Fira said staring into the sunset. When the sunset was over Fira remembered Fikia and Alex. "Oh ya come with me."
"Where are we going?" Tommy said.
"Just come with me," Fira said as she grabbed his arm and took off running. When they got to the stable Fira said, "Do you want your own horse to ride or share Fireball?"
"Share Fireball I guess cause I don't know where we're going, " Tommy replied.
"Okay grab Fireball," Fira said as she grabbed the saddle. Then Tommy brought up Fireball and Fira latched the saddle on him. "Get on," Fira said.
"But what about you?" Tommy asked.
Fira sighed and said I have to close up the gate, I'll get on behind you."
"Okay," Tommy said as he climbed on Fireball and rode out the stable.
A few minutes later Fira came out of the gate closed it and ran toward Fireball. She jumped right on to his back and said, "Go towards the woods." Fireball took off and Fira wrapped her arms around Tommy so she wouldn't fly off. When Fira did this Tommy looked back and smiled. When they got to the edge of the woods Fira said, "Stop here."
Tommy slowed Fireball and they got off.
"Why we getting off here," Tommy asked. Fira smiled and grabbed Tommy and ran into the forest.
"Fikia where are you? Me and Tommy are here," Fira screamed.
"Are you trying to get us caught?" Fikia asked as she came out from behind a tree.
Fira smiled and said, "No, and where's your Romeo, Alex?"
"Alex? Who's Alex?" Tommy asked.
Fira looked at Tommy and goes, "Alex is the bread boy down in town and he Fikia's secret lover."
"He is not my lover he's just my friend," Fikia argued.
Tommy laughed and said, "Ya, he's her friend, her boyfriend." Right then there was a ruffle in the trees.
"Fikia are you there? Oh, Fikia why is your sister and uhh … he here?" Alex asked after he came from around the tree.
"Romeo's here," Fira whispered to Tommy. Fikia stepped on Fira's foot. "Ouch!" Fira screamed.
"Their going to come with us, if you don't mind," Fikia said.
Alex looked at Fira and then said to Fikia, "Are you sure they're not going to tell?"
"Do you think they would be out here if I thought they were," Fikia said.
"Okay let's go," Alex said.
Fira said, "About time, we'll be right back." Fira led Tommy Back to Fireball.
"May I ask what we are doing out here? Who exactly is Alex? Is Alex something I should know about? What are we going to do? Why did we have to sneak out here? And why haven't you answered my…"Tommy asked. Fira leaned up to Tommy and kissed him right on the lips.
"Finally you got quiet, and don't even start saying nothing about blah blah blah royalty blah blah not royalty. Okay I think I got part of your questions so, one you'll see, two the bread boy, three not that I know of, four you'll see, five because of my mother, six I just did and seven to get you to be quiet," Fira said running out of breath.
"I'm taking seven was the answer to why you kissed me," Tommy said as he climbed on to Fireball behind Fira and he held on to he waist.
Fira grabbed he hands and put them around her waist, "Hold on tight or you'll fall off." Fira whistled and fireball took off in to the forest jumping over branches and roots. Tommy grabbed on tighter to Fira waist and she just smiled. Soon they came out to a clear with a sparkling lake. "Come on," Fira said as she jumped off of Fireball. She ran to the edge of the lake and started taking off her dress.
"What the hell are you doing?" Tommy screamed.
Fira turned and pulled off the front of her dress revealing a surf suit, "Going swimming duh." Fira smiled and said, "I know what you were thinking."
"I just thought it was wrong for you to be pulling off your dress in the middle of the forest," Tommy said trying to cover up his thought that they were going to be skinny dipping.
Fira smiled, "Sure, so hurry up." Fira jumped into the water then Tommy came up to the edge.
can't swim, I don't have anything to wear," Tommy said.
Fira looked at him, "You have what your wearing don't you."
"Ya, but…oh well," Tommy said as he pulls off his shirt and shoes. Fira went under water and swam as far as she could before she ran out of air. She had to get away from Tommy before she did something she knew she should have. She wanted to be close to him but she knew he didn't cause he thought they could never be together. She just hoped he would change his mind in time.
