No One's POV

"Promise you'll be back for Christmas and Our birthday and you'll call everyday," Dexter whispered hugging his sister.

"Ok, I won't call everyday but maybe just once in a while," Darling said letting him squeeze the life out of her. "Also I kinda need to breath Dex." He let her go and she jumped onto the moving carriage. "Bye! I'll call you when I get there," She shouted back at her brother, mother and father waving.

Darling opened the door to the carriage and quickly sat down in the seat. "Miss what address shall I drop you off at in Wonderland." The drive asked opening the curtain that separates her and him.
"The normal place please," Darling said pulling her hair up into a ponytail.

"Do they know your coming Ms?"

"No, but I'm planning on surprising them and then heading over to the apartment," she explained.
"Of course I shall leave you to do whatever then we'll be there within the next two-three hours,"he said quietly shutting the curtain.

Darling pulled out her phone and texted one of her old friends and sister-in-law, Rosebella Charming.

"Hey, what ya doing?" Darling texted.

A few minutes later she got a text back.

"Nothing much just sitting at the palace waiting for Daring to get out of the meeting with your parents. And you know throwing up all of my lunch and breakfast. How about you?" Rosebella texted back.

"Just sitting in the carriage on my way to Wonderland that's all," she explained looking out the window . "And speaking of throwing up. Have you told him yet?" Darling asked.

You see Rosebella found out she was pregnant just a few days ago and she was planning on telling Daring right before Darling left but she had been stuck in their house all morning, sick.

"No I haven't but I'm planning on telling when we get home," Rosebella explained. "Oh wait he's coming out now I should go plus you should probably get back to working on your paper for your last year of collage. Bye!" After that the line went dead and Darling put her phone away and laid down to take a quick nap.

Three Hours Later

"Ms.Charming were almost there time to awake," a voice said interrupting Darlings peaceful slumber. She slowly opened her eyes and saw the moonlight shining through her window.

"Thank you I'll only be a few minutes, hopefully." She explained sitting up and rubbing her eyes.
"Alright, well I'll still be here when your ready to go," the driver said stepping out of the door and holding out a hand for her to take.

"Ok," Darling said taking his hand and hopping out of the carriage to face the big castle in front of her.

She slowly walked up to the large gate and typed in the code. It swung open and she made her way to the door.Once she reached the door she started to get nervous and her hands started shaking.

Come on Darling just knock on the door. Just knock on the door. She slowly held her hand up and created a fist to try and knock. But before she knew what she was doing she'd grabbed the handle of the door knocker (actual name) and had started moving it up. "No," she said dropping it as it made a large clang against the door frame.

A few seconds later the door came swinging open and out stepped her old friend 'Lizzie Hearts.' "Darling! What are you doing here!?" The young princess shouted when she saw who was standing at the door.

"Hi Lizzie! How are you doing," Darling asked as Lizzie let her step inside out of the autumn cold. "Sorry I'm here unannounced I decide to stop by on my way to my new apartment," Darling explained as they hugged.

"Wait! New Apartment! Your Moving To Wonderland!" Lizzie shouted.
"Shh, he'll hear you. I don't want 'you know who' to know I'm here yet. Plus your parents need sleep Liz."

"Oh yeah I'm sorry. But why don't you want Chase to know your here yet," Lizzie questioned pulling Darling to the bench next to the door.
"Well, um...we kinda got into a fight a few weeks ago about college and how we never see one another. He hung up on me and hasn't talked to me since then," Darling explained taking off her coat and setting it on the ground next to her.

"Wait, your telling me he hung up on you? That's not his story, he says you hung up on him after you guys fought two weeks ago?"

"No that's not how it went," Darling said. "Well, thats how he made it sound. But boy does he miss you," She said.

"Why would you say that?" Lizzie quickly looked around the room and turned back to Darling. "He talks about you nonstop and he went to the jeweler a few hours after he told me what had happened and bought a blue and red little something for someone."

They sat there in silence for a few seconds then Darling heard a door close and someone walk toward them. "Lizzie!? Are you in here," A voice questioned. Lizzie looked questionably toward Darling. 

"Hide," she whispered as Darling stood and ran to the coat closet, shutting the door behind her.

"Hey there you are," the voice said again. 

"Hi Chase, how are you?" Lizzie asked her brother.

 "I'm good but why is there a carriage outside." he questioned.

"Oh...I think mom and dad have visitors upstairs and they're here for a little while," Lizzie lied. 

"Are you sure about that? I was just with mom and dad and they said that they weren't expecting anyone over this week," Chase explained picking up Darling's coat off the ground. "And who's is this?"

"That's mine, I had to get a new one because my old one ripped," Lizzie lied again. 

"Well, why didn't you hang it in the closet and not just throw it on the floor," Chase said making his way toward the closet where Darling was hiding. 

"No!" Lizzie shouted running toward him and blocking his way to the door.

"Lizzie! Come on I'm not going to fight with you, I'll just let you take care of it alright," Chase said dropping the coat and walking away from the closet. "But, if someone such as Darling stops by please tell me. I still need to apologies for what I said over the phone and I need to give her the present I got for her."

"Well, why don't you just call her and tell her your sorry," Lizzie said hoping her brother would go along with her plan to reveal Darling's hiding place.

"Maybe your right, but we've both said things we regret and I really don't think she wants to talk to me," Chase said sadly sitting on the bench. "Oh come on! Your both stupid. Just call her Chase! She's freaking out about that argument too now please just call her and make up," Lizzie begged as he pulled out his phone and dialed Darling's phone number.

"Are you sure she wants to talk to me!? And how did you even get a hold of her," Chase asked.

"Just call her and you'll find out."

"Ok whatever you say," Chase said pressing the call button and holding the phone to his ear.
