The greenhouse seemed to be getting brighter than from the dim area you came from. The colors around you were bright, warm ones. There were yellow and orange flower bushes and trees with lemons growing from them.

You kept walking through the garden with the newfound physical strength to continue, but if you were honest with yourself, you were beginning to be tired mentally.

You were still lost, still confused, and everything was unfamiliar to you, even if everything seemed like a beautiful dream. You were frustrated inside because you still wanted answers on how you got to this fantasy and if there was any chance of you going back home.

Regardless of these inner feelings, the castle was where the answers were held, or at least you hoped so. So, you had to keep going, but your smile had begun to fade while you kept walking.

You stopped in your tracks when you saw someone on a ladder, picking lemons from a tree. He had this positive vibe to himself that you could immediately tell from him. His blonde hair, pastel pink dress shirt, his style seemed just as bright as him.

He cupped a lemon in his hand from its spot on a branch and he brought himself close to it to smell its sweet scent. He let go with a bright smile on his face and it honestly made you melt on the inside for some reason.

He was so soft.

He gently picks the lemon from the tree and drops it into a wicker basket beneath the ladder. When he gets down from the ladder he turns and meets your gazing eyes with his.

Immediately, he gives you a warm smile, "Princess!! You're here!"

He seemed to be so happy to see you as he came up to you and embraced you in a warm hug. You felt your cheeks heat up from his sudden gesture. As nice as the hug was, you weren't in the hugging mood and hugging strangers wasn't your thing, so you carefully pull him off of you.

"Woah, we barely know each other! I don't just hug people without an introduction at least." You tell him.

"But we hug all the time! You like my hugs..." He says with a frown which made you feel bad inside as you ruined his mood.

"I've never met you before...I'm sorry...it is nice to meet you though." You say trying to smile.

He makes a duck lips with his mouth, blowing a raspberry with a sigh then just giving you a smile again, "Well then, I'm Prince MJ! It's nice to meet you too!"

"So, it's lemon picking season?" You decide to ask him.

He laughs as if you said a joke but he shakes his head, "Noooo, I just like lemons! They smell really nice and their color is beautiful. People always say, when life gives you lemons, make lemonade, welllll I do just that! And it comes out pretty good! I make lemonade for the castle staff to refresh themselves and have a break, they work so hard everyday, as a prince, it's the least I can do." He tells you.
