We finally arrive back at the cottage, after a long bumpy ride on the wooden bunny. As soon as we jump off, the bunny throws itself onto the grass, panting violently. "Now we know how fast a bunny can hop in a pinch." Says Merlin as he looks at the exhausted bunny. "Thank you, for helping us Merlin." I say and look him in the eyes. "Pleasure, M'lady! But I also did it for us." Says Merlin and smiles. "By the way.." He says as he gets a concerned look on his face and pulls out the 'wanted' poster of me. "What is this?" He asks. I sigh, not completely knowing what to say. "Gosh, it sounds silly, but..It's my shoes." I decide to be honest with him. "They're magical." "I know, they're fabulous. But, why are they after you?" Asks Merlin, clearly not understanding what I'm trying to say. "No, my shoes, they're...They're actually MADE of magic." Merlin sent me a confused look, but Arthur yelled for me before he could say anything. "Rose Red! Are you a criminal?!" Arthur asks as he points to my 'wanted' poster from the avenue. "No, of course not." I say, hoping he'll believe me. "It's true, she hasn't done anything wrong!" Adds Snow to assure him. Arthur lets out a sigh of relief, "I knew a girl this pretty couldn't possibly be a criminal!" He says and lets the wind take my poster away. "Look, we should head out now. There could be more guards around at any minute." I say as I grab Snow's hand and start walking. "Don't worry about them, I've got these bad boys." Says Arthur as he bends down and starts flexing his muscles. "This is just gonna make it so much harder to find our dad." I say and look at Snow. We lock eyes. We've always done that, it's like we can read each other's mind when we look each other in the eyes. I can tell she's trying to assure me that we will find him somehow. We both do a quick, confident nod, and keep on walking. "I have an idea!" says Merlin out of nowhere. We all look back at him. He runs down to the big purple flower field, and he starts running around, making the purple blossoms fall all around us. The wooden bunny jumps around trying to catch them, while me and Snow stand at the top, enjoying the beautiful view. After a few minutes, he turns around, showing us what he was doing. "Ta-daa!" He proudly yells. "Oh, wow!" Me and Snow exclaim in unison. He had made a perfect copy of our 'wanted' poster of Papa in the flowers! He walks up the hill while humming and brushing off some blossoms. "What do ya think?" He asks us, nodding his head towards the flower field. "That is amazing!" I say, and he looks really proud. "It looks great! Just like the drawing!" Adds Snow, which just makes Merlin look even more happy. I let out a small giggle and bend down so I can look Merlin in the eyes. "Thank you." I tell him, and he smiles with his face full of the blossoms. I slowly move closer to him to blow the blossoms away. I blow, and all the blossoms fly away like purple confetti. I notice that he had pointed his lips. Did he try to kiss me? I feel myself blushing a bit, and try to get out of the awkward situation by saying something super smart like "You had a.. Thing on your, cheek." I smile awkwardly. I quickly get up. "Alright! Let's go!" I say as I smack my hands together and let out a mixture between an awkward sigh and a giggle. I grab Snow's hand, and we continue our walk home.

Me and Snow sit on the couch, just small-talking. We're waiting for Hans, he had promised to make donuts for us, and the other dwarfs had told me that he was a great cook. After a while, he comes out of the kitchen with a plate full of decorated donuts. "Oh Hans, you shouldn't have! They look amazing!" I exclaim, and Snow nods in agreement. "Something sweet, for some girls sweeter!" He says with a smile. I quickly grab a donut with red icing decorated with blueberries and blackberries. Snow grabs a donut with white icing and small tops of whipped cream on. I bite in. It tastes delicious, it reminds me of eating a fruit plate. The red icing tastes like strawberries and sugar, and the donut itself is perfectly balanced. Not too wet, not too dry. Just perfect. "Mmmm!" I exclaim. "This is spectacular!" I say as I take another bite. It feels like it tastes better everytime I take a bite. "Oh, it's nothing! Just let me know what you want, anytime! For the rest of your life." He mumbles the last part, but I'm way too focused on the donut to question it. Suddenly, Snow gets up. "Could you tell me where the bathroom is? I forgot where it is." She asks Hans. Hans points to the bathroom, and Snow walks in. "Do you like fondue?" Hans asks me, but as I was about to answer, Jack enters the room. "Behold! Carved by the finest jewelers out of all the jewelers I know! Which is a lot." He says, and opens a ring box. There is a ring with a huge, glowing diamond on it. "Wow! pretty!" I exclaim. "And it's yours, Miss Rose! Yours, in exchange for nothing! Make it a kiss." He says, though I couldn't hear the last part, which he said while coughing. "Really?" I say, with my mouth full of donut, which I quickly sink. "Are you sure? It looks expensive! I can't possibly accept it." I grab another donut, this time one with white icing and strawberry jam on top. "Come on, princess! I got it just for you! Please accept it." Jack looks kind of disappointed, and I start to feel bad. "Alright, I'll take it then." I say and giggle. Jack's face lights up, and he puts the ring on my finger. It's a bit big, but not big enough to fall off. "Thank you so much Jack! It's beautiful." I say, and give him a big hug. But our hug didn't last long before we got cut off by the sound of a speaker. "Testing, one two! Testing, one two! No, I'm pushing it, you dolt." Me, Hans and Jack all look around, confused. "Attention, hideous trolls! Wait, is it 'dwarfs' with an F, or 'dwarves' with a V? I wanna use whatever's more offensive." We look outside the window, and see the big guards from Golden Goose Avenue standing beside a guy with fancy clothes and long, blonde, slicked back hair, followed by an army of armored guards. "Oh, it's that loser, Prince Average!" Says Jack, sounding annoyed. "Heard that! It's 'Avv-vous-rarge'!" Says Prince Average with a dramatic voice. "Oh, please.." Says Hans and rolls his eyes. "Inside your amateurs attempt at a facade of a sham of a travesty of a veneer of a castle is a gorgeous wanted criminal!" I immediately know he's talking about me. "I hereby command, that all of you exit the premises and surrender post haste." I realize that he had captured Arthur and Merlin. They were tied with their arms on their back, sitting on their knees. "Fail to comply, and you'll never see these two again." He says while he's looking at Merlin and Arthur. "You have until three. One.. Two. I lied! Charge!" I immediately get filled with rage. Who does this guy think he is? I walk out of the door, biting my lower lip as the army of guards is running towards the cottage-castle. They all fall over, landing on top of each other. "Am I the person you want?" I ask, giving the Prince and the guards an angry look. "Yes, yes you are.." The prince says, holding his arms out as if he's trying to grab me. "Though I don't know if you're a person or a vision of beauty! Some kind of angelic, thing with wings. Angelic wing things?" He says while doing very weird hand gestures. "I will come with you." I decide to try and be brave. "But only after you release my friends!" I say. "Do it, do it!" The prince commands, and the guards start to remove Merlin and Arthur's ropes. Then they walk over to me. "Now, here's the good news. It's my birthday!" Says the prince. "And you are going to be the Belle of the Ball!" This dude was getting on my nerves. First he takes my friends and tie them up, and then he thinks he has the audacity to invite me to his birthday? I bite the inside of my cheek, trying to stop myself from cussing him out. 'He has an army of guards, you have to act nice.' I think to myself. "The invitation sounds great, really. But..." I get cut off in my attempt to turn him down nicely. "It wasn't an invitation, more of an order. Prepare the lady's carriage!" The prince yells. "She said she doesn't want to go, Average!" Says Merlin as he takes a few steps forward, clearly taunting the prince with his name. He's defending me. I try to stop myself from smiling out of nowhere. "Avv-vous-rarge!" The prince yells, clearly frustrated. "Don't troll me, Troll." He says with an ominous voice. I've had enough. "Ah, so rude!" I say as I start walking towards the prince. "I couldn't agree more, subjects these days. Now, shall we?" He says and tries grabbing my arm. Did he really think I'd go with him after all he had said and done? I rip my arm away from him and hit him in his face with my fist with all my strength.
