"Sammie! Hurry let's play outside!" 

"Wait for me Kylie! I wanna play too!" 

I ran as fast as my two little feet could carry me. Mommy said I could play with Kylie at the park as long as I we promised to be back before sunset.

Kylie's my next door neighbor and she's two years older than me. She's really pretty! She has the prettiest blue eyes. It always reminds me of the ocean when Mommy would take me every summer. She said that's where Daddy used to take her when they were still dating!

Hehe Mommy said "dating" is when prince charming makes the princess falls in love with him so that he can take her away to his castle where they live happily-ever after! 

I shared this to Kylie the other day and I made her promise to keep it a secret! 

Kylie's just like me! We love fairytales and we're both looking for our prince charming but sometimes I have my doubts especially when she gets this weird look that she gives me... hmmm... but maybe I'm just imagining it cause she really loves giving hugs and kisses! Mommy always says when someone loves to give hugs and kisses that just means they have lots of love to give!

When I caught up with Kylie I felt her hold my hand. I looked up to give her a curious look. 

" It's so you won't get lost." She said in response. Looking at our intertwined hands I could see how small my hands were in her big strong hands. Kylie said it's cause her daddy has big hands too so she got it from him.

I wonder if my daddy had big hands too. I wish I know what daddy was like. Mommy said he was...

"We're here!" Kylie said excitedly cutting off my wandering thoughts.

 Looking around I could see the countless kids running around and playing. I looked around the whole park until my eyes spotted the swings but I saw it was already full with lots of other kids waiting in line. 

"Don't be sad Sammie! Look over there! The sand box is completely deserted!"

"But I don't wanna play in the sand box... It's dirty and there might be worms there." 

"Aww, don't be like that Sammie. There's no worms in there! And it's perfectly clean! Besides if we play over there we'll get to build a sand castle and play pretend! That way we can play princess!" at the words of playing princess my whole mood brightened up. 

I loved playing princess! 

"Yay! Princess! Princess! Princess!!!" I shouted gleefully. 

Laughing at my silly antics, Kylie followed me towards the sand box but before we could get any further I stopped walking and spun around.

"But wait! Kylie! How are we gonna play princess when we don't have prince charmings yet?" I asked worriedly. 

And just like that Kylie gave me that look again. For some reason it made my heart skip a beat and made me blush. 

"Don't worry Angel, while we haven't met our princes yet I'll be your temporary prince charming." she said using that nickname she gave me when we first met. It made me blush even more, which in turn made her laugh at me again.

"Wahhh! Stop laughing at me!" I said covering my blushing face. Not knowing what to do I decided to run towards the sandbox and completely ignore her calling me.

Hmph! Kylie is such a bully! Does she always have to tease me? I mean it's not that fun making fun of me! Imagine seeing my cute adorable face turn into a frown! It's not suited for this cutiepie face! Stupid Kylie!
