"The White Knight? Amy, is there something you want to tell me?"

With a groan, Amy slowly opened her eyes to see her sister looming over her bed, something clutched tightly in her hand. Horror flooded her system when she realized what Emma was holding.

"Hey, that's mine! Give it back!" she cried, reaching out her arm and making a desperate grab for the cell phone. However, her sister easily dodged her swipe and continued to read through Amy's texts.

"My princess? I'll see you in dreamland?! It's rude to keep your date waiting?!?! Amy, who is this 'Zen' and what is going on between you two?!" she exclaimed.

"U-Uh, Zen is...Jumin's middle name! Yeah! He uses it as an alias." Amy quickly lied.

Emma's eyes narrowed suspiciously. "Why would he need to use an alias?"

"So people don't know he secretly has a corny romantic side because it'll ruin his reputation?"

"Nice try, Amy. Now I want the truth."

Amethyst sighed in surrender. "Alright, but you aren't to breathe a word of this to dad. Zen is...an accomplice of Jumin's that I met last night."

"An accomplice of Jumin's? Amy, that's wonderful! What business does he run?!"

"He isn't a business owner....he's an actor."

"What?"

The two sisters grew silent as Emma drank in the news.

"Well, you two aren't together. I mean, you're not, right?"

"No, we're not together. He's just a flirt, that's all." Amy stated, and for some reason her heart wrenched painfully when she said it.

"Okay, that's good. As long as you two are just friends, we've got nothing to worry about-"

A loud chime from Amy's phone cut her sister off. Glancing from Emerald to her phone, Amethyst lunged forward and made a wild swipe for the cellphone, but her sister sprinted to the other side of the room before opening the text.

❤️The White Knight❤️: Hey princess, I get out of jousting practice early today. Would you do me the honor of accompanying me to lunch later?

Distracted by the text, Emma didn't hear her sister creeping up behind her. In the blink of an eye, Amy snatched away the cellphone and hastily read the message. A small smile graced her lips as a feeling of warmth filled her chest.

Amy: I would love too. Where do you want to go? I'll meet you there.

❤️The White Knight❤️: Hmm....There's a new cafe called Ulga's that just opened up in town. The food is supposed to be really good. I'll meet you there around eleven thirty, okay?

Amy: Okay. Sounds good.

❤️The White Knight❤️: See you later, my princess.

Amy's heart fluttered, a small smile creeping onto her lips. However, the moment was quickly ruined by Emma as she peered over her sister's shoulder.

"You can't go." she stated flatly.

Amy frowned at her. "Excuse me? Why not?"

"Because Dad will flip, Amy! He's already upset with you for fighting with Jumin! If he finds out you went to lunch with some random actor, he'll completely lose it!"

"Then I won't tell him Zen's an actor. I'll just say he's an associate of Jumin's."

"Yeah, and when he finds out you lied to him, he'll be even angrier."
