The Nine Lives of Darapple(Daring & Apple one shots)

First Date('s)

Apple's P.O.V.
I giggle as Daring flashes his charming smile and laughs.
"So dreamy..." I mumble.
"What was that Apple?" Daring asks me.
"Oh nothing. Just so happy we get to finally get to go on a date."

Darling's P.O.V.
"What was that my dear?" I mock my older brother Daring. "Why yes I love you." I make my voice go higher. "Oh I love you to Daring." I speak normally. "Well today that's going to end."
I'll hiding in the tree above Daring and Apple's picnic. They laugh, again. Why did I find myself into Apple? I don't know, but if I ever want her to notice me I have to do this. Without getting caught. That's the hardest part. My plan may be tricky but that will be the hardest.
"Oh Daring." Apple smiles at him.
"You know Apple..." I turn my attention away from Daring.
"What will ruin a princess day? How about some dirt?" I ask myself, even though I already know the answer. I stand back as I pull out the bag of dirt. Then I release two crows.
Apple screams from below. "Ahhhhh! I'm a mess!"
Daring is staring in shock.
"Did you plan for this to happen?! To prank me?!" Apple gets up and leaves. "Just before I was... oh never mind!" Apple storms off.
"How could this have happened? I've planned everything out so perfectly." Daring is sobbing now.
I quietly leave, without my brother noticing.

Apple's P.O.V.
Since the date was in my palaces garden, my castle wasn't far. I sobbed the way there. Now I'm enjoying a nice long hot bubble bath. Suddenly I hear a knock on the door. I jump out of my luxurious tub and grab my robe. I walk to the door and open it.
"Hello?" And there he is.
"Hi Apple. I just wanted to say I'm sorry." Daring starts.
"So you admit you did it?"
"No I didn't in fact I found a bag in the tree. Someone dumped the dirt on you."
"Who would have done that?"
Daring shrugs. "Can I come in?"
"Fine. Don't touch anything." I stare at Daring and forget to watch where I'm going. Suddenly I fall over and my housecoat goes flying. So I'm lying on the floor with my naked rear end up.
"Apple are you okay?" Daring turns around.
I quickly grab my housecoat and throw it on top of me like a blanket.
"Fine." I hope he didn't see anything. "We will continue this discussion when I'm fully dressed." I grab my dress and go back into the bathroom.

"So? Why are you here?" I ask Daring.
"I wanted to apologize and find a way to make it up to you. Apple I love you."
I look at his poor innocent face. "Fine. You get one more chance. Don't mess it up!"
"Thank you, Apple. I will change your mind about me. Count on it."

"Wow." I say as Daring helps me out of my carriage at the place he's taking me for our date.
"I wanted to take you to your favourite restaurant, tonight." Daring walks me to our table. Then he takes my coat from me.
"Thank you." I sit down across from Daring. "So..."
"Um... We're supposed to talk aren't we." Daring nervously says. "Well I'm really sorry about what happened yesterday."
I look into his eyes. "I know you are."
"What?"
"Someone who obviously knew what was going on between us was jealous. So they wanted us to break up. I'm not dumb."
"So why are we here?"
"Because I wanted another date with you. A real date." I leaned over and grabbed Darings hand. "I love you. And nothing changes that."

After dinner Daring took me to this romantic park for a late night stroll. We walked, hand in hand. When we came to the bridge we stopped. I shivered as the wind blew in.
"Are you cold? Here you can have my jacket." Daring offered.
"Thanks." I let him put it around me. "Daring."
"Yes Apple."
"Well I just wanted to tell you I believe in us. That's why I'm going to do this."
"What-"
He's cut off by my kiss. Daring puts his hand in my hair and I put mine around his shoulders. It seems like just seconds when we pull away, but it was really minutes.
"I love you Daring." I whisper.
"I love you to Apple. By the way you have a beautiful body." He chuckles.
I blush. "You saw."
He nods. "But you really are beautiful Apple."
"Is that why you love me?" I ask.
"Of coarse not. I like you for being you. Not just your looks, but for every quality you poses. I love you, Apple White."
He leans over and kisses me.
