*Kat’s POV*
“But I don’t want to be a princess! I want to be a warrior!” I complained to Niall who was insisting that I had to be the princess.
“You’re the girl so you have to be the princess! Girls aren’t allowed to be warriors!” He countered.
“Not true! Mulan was a warrior!”
“And Mulan broke the rules! You can’t break the rules because you’re not Mulan!”
“Who says?”
“I do! Now you have to be the princess!”
“NO! I don’t want to be the princess and I’m not going to play with you until you let me be a warrior!”
“Fine! I didn’t want to play with you anyway!” he said as we stormed off to our respective houses.
“Mommy I am never going to play with Niall again he won’t let me be a warrior! He says I’m only allowed to be a princess because I’m a girl!” I whined to my mother as I stomped up the stairs to my bedroom. She followed me in and sat down on my bed.
“Why don’t you want to be a princess?” my mom asked me.
“Because they don’t do anything! They just sit there and wait to be rescued! I want to have fun too! I want to be like Mulan!”
“So you want to be a warrior and Niall wants you to be a princess?”
“Yes.”
“Then why can’t you be both?”
“Mom! Princesses can’t be warriors! Everyone knows that!”
“Well who says?”
“I don’t know!”
“Exactly! If you want to be a warrior and Niall wants you to be a princess you can just be both! Then you’re both happy! Now why don’t you go apologize to Niall and see if he’s willing to play with you again.”
“Fine.” I groaned as I rolled out of bed and walked next door to see if Niall would let me be a warrior if I was also a princess. He agreed and we played until our parents called us for dinner. It’s funny how when we were little I dreaded the thought of being Niall’s princess and now I loved it.
I was still wrapped up in Niall’s arms my head resting on his chest as I recalled our childhood memory. I smiled to myself and Niall must have felt it because he asked me what I was thinking about.
“I was just remembering when we were little and you told me I had to be a princess”
“Ha ha! You were so mad at me for not letting you be a warrior!”
“I was! I was ready to end our friendship over it too had my mom not interfered!”
“Little did you know I only wanted you to be the princess so I could treat you like royalty!”
“Let’s not get all deep here we were five I highly doubt you put that much thought into it!”
“Maybe not but I still thought you deserved the best!”
“Yeah ok!” I laughed “what time is it?” I asked changing the subject.
“About noon.”
“We should probably get up.”
“Nope” he said wrapping his arms around me tighter “this moment is too perfect I’m not letting you ruin it by getting up.”
“Ni we have to get up eventually.”
