Waking up to see an engagement ring on my finger lights me up. But the sucky thing is, is that the wedding is in two days! Two days of thinking of how to decorate everything!

I quickly get out of bed and do my morning things, then I rush to Regina. "Any ideas yet?" I ask her right away as I walk up from behind her as she talks to a guard. "Hmm?" She turns to face me. "Oh yes. You will be the one walking down the isle." Regina says to me with a twinkle in her eyes.

My face lights up. "And where is this going  to be?" I ask crossing my arms. "In the back with the apple trees." She says with a smile. I smile back then I remember something. I walk over to the display, and I take the rose out. I walk back over to Regina and I hand it to her. Her eyes light up.

She gently takes it, then smells it with a smile. "Thank you." Regina says looking deeply into my eyes. "I had to pick it before it went to trash." I say hugging her from the side. "It's wonderful." She says smelling it again. "I actually planted more roses, there starting to bloom now." Regina says facing me with a bright smile.

I didn't smile back, I stared at the ground. Regina noticed. "Hey, what's wrong?" Regina asks. "You've been so busy...now we are going I be really busy." I meet her gaze. "I feel like I've been alone forever." I know it sounded a bit dramatic, but I feel lonely with out her.

Regina hugs me, she squeezes me a little with my arms pinned to my chest. I just closed my eyes and enjoyed it. "I'm always hear for you no matter what, don't you worry." She kisses my head, and a huge blush takes over. "Now you go and do what you would like to do, I have some decorations to put up."

She says slowly letting go. I quickly hug her tightly as if it was the last time I was going to see her. She seemed shocked, but she quickly hugged me back. I wanted to kiss her...but work needs to be done more then loves needs to be flying around. She slowly walks off as we slowly let go of each other.

I sigh. There's going to be three days without her...it's like she's gone forever, even though she's only downstairs and outside. I walk to the cellars to see Amy. I walk up to the bars, and stare at her while she sits on the hay bed in the cell. "You liking your new home?" I ask grabbing onto the bars and fitting my face between them.

"How long an I going to be here for?" Amy asks while staring at her hands on her lap. "As long as I want you here for." I reply. "I remember..." she says, "I remember dancing with you to music...staying by your side when you were sad...we can do that again." She says making eye contact. I could see her eyes watering.

I laugh. "Tell that to the scars I still have to this day." I frown at her. "I'm allowed to keep you here for 14 years." I burst out, then I smile evilly. "I am allowed to do whatever." I push off of the bars and cross my arms. "Your going to be busy...you know how you always liked to decorate what ever you could when you had the time or money. Well, your day has come and it's for free. I need you to what Regina wants you to do for this wedding."

I announce to Amy. "Wedding!?" Amy says shocked then rushed up to the gate. "You are not going to marry that witch!" She says shaking the gate. "Witch!?" I gasp out wanting to rip her throat out, I sigh and roll my eyes. "Whatever." Then I hold my hand up to show her the ring. "Pretty isn't it? The wedding is in two days, and this place needs to be ready by the second morning." I play with my ring with my thumb a little.

"So, I think Regina needs you. Your going to work around here, one wrong move and I'll add another 14 years in this cell." I say harshly as I turn around to send a guard to lead Amy to Regina. I head outside in the back where Regina was. "Hey," I say as I slowly walked outside. "How's it going?" I finish as I watch James water the roses.

"Oh, Raven! What are you doing here?" Regina asks me while she finishes checking her apple trees. "Oh nothing, Amy is going to help you with some things." I say while I hug her from behind. "Good, I need the extra hand." Regina replies while turning around to face me. "Now I need you not eat the apples on the apple tree." She giggles.

"We need as many apples on the apple tree as possible." She says poking my nose playfully. I giggle. "Ok fine, anything else?" I ask twirl a strand of hair. "Not that I can think of, I have everything planned. But I need Amy to make a dress for you." She says while staring at my ring, then she smiles.

"I can't wait." Regina finally says excitedly. "Me too!" I say jumping up and down. "Oh perfect, Amy! I need you to measure Raven and make a dress!" Regina says while pushing me back inside. "Ok, ok." I say giggling. I and Amy walk up to the main living room with the sewing things. I stand on a stool and Amy starts to measure me.

"Is this who you really want to marry?" Amy asks me while measuring my left arm. "Another word about it, and it won't end pretty. But yes, Regina is the one I want to marry." I say annoyed. It got all silent, I didn't really like it. To me it seems that Amy thinks I made the wrong choice, but if she sees how much of a teddy bear Regina is, maybe she'll changer her mined.
