      "He will be here for a long time." The Queen said.

      "I don't want him here." Kennedy said while wiping her tears.

      "Just give him another chance. Your father talked to him, he should have a  good sense now if he knows what's good for him."

      Kennedy laughed and looked at her mom's face with her red eyes.

      "There's that smile I have been looking for. Now go to bed, it's getting late." The Queen said giving Kennedy a hug.

      "Ok goodnight." Kennedy said as she was heading to her closet to put on her gown. The Queen left the room and saw Jack. But instead of saying anything she gave him the I know where you live and I will kill you if you hurt my daughter again look.

       Kennedy went to her bed and was startled by Jack. Jack paused and stared at her. He didn't think she would ever look cute. He thought maybe it was all that paint on her face, he liked her all natural.  The way she really was.

        "Um, what are you doing here!" Kennedy said nervously. Jack snapped back to reality.

        "I came to apologize." Jack said.

        "Well..."

        "Listen. This doesn't happen often so soak it in. I'm s-s-" Jack stuttered.

        "Excuse me? I didn't quite understand what you said." Kennedy said putting her hand up to her ear.

        Jack cleared his throat.

       "I'm sorry for being a jerk. There I said it. Happy now?"

       Kennedy laughed.

      "Ok, I will forgive you. But if you ever speak to me the way you did today, there will be consequences." Kennedy said boldly.

     "Maybe you will be an ok Queen." Jack smiled. 

      Then Kennedy blushed and the room started to get hot.

      "Why did it get so hot all of a sudden?" Jack said looking around the room.

      "Um, maybe it's the torches outside my window."

       Kennedy got up and ran to her window and quickly lit the torches on the outside and closed the window.

       "Ok then... I guess it's getting late so Goodnight!" Jack said heading to his room.

      "Wow that was close."Kennedy said as she fell on her bed.

      When Jack got to his room, he flew out the window to the garden (surprise) and sat down on a bench. Then he looked up at the moon that shined down on the garden and made the flowers glisten.

       "Wow....Kennedy looked kind of.... hot." Jack looked at his hand and a little flame came out.

      "I think she has powers like I do. She probably does. I think I am falling for her."   

      Jack sat down for a while and then flew back up to his room. Then fell asleep.
