Norman closed his Mother's book and sighed. "Mom seemed very nice." He smiled. "I just wish I got to-" Norman ran his fingers through his hair before his room door burst open. "NORMAN." Barbra screamed. "B-barbra? How are you here?!" Norman stood up and asked. "Oh, I have my ways. I asked around again, and snuck inside." Barbra grinned. "If someone found out you are here, they'd freak!" Norman shouted. "That's why they won't!" Barbra walked inside and hid under a table. "I still can't believe you didn't tell me you were secretly living in royalty." Barbra got out from under the table. "I would have, but they wouldn't let me send letters. You know the way Chief would sometimes make us burn stuff for no reason? Those are the letters from this kingdom. Our kingdom, or yours doesn't accept any of them so instead they burn it." Norman said. "What do you mean, yours?" Barbra asked. "Turns out my Mother and Father are from here." Norman scratched his head. Barbra processed it all. "I thought they  had taken you captive! But your actually from here?!" Barbra shouted. Norman nodded. "It's a long story..." Norman sighed. Barbra's belly groaned. "I can get you something to eat?" Norman asked. "No it's fine. I have my ways..." Barbra snuck out of his room and came back after five minutes with Chicken in her hands. "Where did you get that from?" Norman asked. "From the kitchen." Barbra shrugged. "What?! You went into the kitchen?!" Norman asked. "Yup," Barbra nodded like it was nothing. "B-but..." Norman started. "I was disguised." Barbra whispered. "Oh...as what?" Norman asked. "A knight. In armour!" Barbra grinned. "And it worked?" Norman asked incredulously. Barbra nodded. "Really...?" Norman asked.

"That means you can help me, I want to learn how to ride a horse. If you disguise as a knight in armour this would be perfect, I heard you can ride!" Norman exclaimed. "Yeah but I ain't great at teaching." Barbra said. "But it could work." Norman persisted. "Okay, for the time being." Barbra agreed.

Prince Ray who was at the outside of the room, leaned in on the door to overhear more of the conversation. "So that person is still here..." He whispered.

"Prince Ray?" Anna tapped on his shoulder. Prince Ray flinched and turned around. He had never reacted like that, towards anyone before. "Oh um...Anna. Hello." He waved. "I w-was ordered to give Prince Norman his new laundry so..." Anna held a basket.

He seemed very flustered...I wonder what he was doing and if he's okay.

They both looked at each other.

What is he/she staring at me for?
Do I have something on my face?

They both thought as they lifted up their hand to their faces.
"We both did it at the same time." They both said.
"Again." They said again. "And this time too." Ray whispered, but when he was the only one who said it, he decided to drop the jinxing.

"A-anyway, catch you later Anna." Ray decided, as he waved. And soon Prince Norman exit d his room to say hello to Anna. "W-what was going on?" He scratched his hair awkwardly. "It's Fine my Prince." She bowed and blushed. "Oh okay, I'll take these inside." Prince Norman took the laundry and shut the door, breathing a sigh of relief. "Are you ready Barbra?" He asked. "Ready as I'll ever be." She patted her silver brest plate and twisted her tight helmet. "Okay. Let's go, I think she's gone." Norman put his ears to the door, and then opened the door.

They crept out to the barn yard where Sunny grazed on grass. "Morning..." He stroked it's white long hair. It neighed in excitement, but then started walking backwards once Sunny noticed Barbra. "Don't worry, she's no stranger." Norman pointed. "Let's start already Nomeo." Barbra said.  "Go on, get on the horse." Barbra ushered him on.

"O-okay..." He tried his best to get on top of it, but it was a pretty THICK horse. And when I mean thick, I mean thick. The horse was that big that it could have been considered a girl. But it was a he, right?
