Zak's POV
Okay. It's 1. I have to wait until 4 to go there.

I CAN'T DO IT I'M GONNA GO NOW!
As impatient as he was, Zak decided to go to the gardens to see if Darryl was there.
And, listening to what time they had planned earlier like so, he was not.
Zak waited at the gardens a bit more before he saw a white puppy run into the garden and up to him.
"RAT! HEYYY!" An out-of-breath Darryl said, running with a bag and the book from yesterday.
"Rat?" I said, smirking at him, while picking up the puppy.
"Her name is Lucy, but I call her Rat as a nickname.." Darryl said, turning a blushed red.
I giggled a bit, as Rocco did a play-pounce on Rat.
We started talking about the book be brought yesterday, and whatever nonsense we both liked, when we heard more commotion from the front of the castle.
I turned while sitting on Muffetté's statue and saw more guards, as well as the carriages with canons in them were going out of the castle. This was a bit alarming.
I looked over at bad, who paid no mind and continued to read aloud.
I decided to ask a question I meant to ask earlier.
"So.. Do you take any place in the kingdom?" I asked, looking away for a bit until he answered.
"Oh, uhm.. Yeah, I do.." He paused on the page he was on and put the marker on the top of the page.
"Can I ask what?" I kicked my feet a bit, turning my head to him.
"Well, y'see.. I-um, am.. A Knight!" He said, obviously lying.
"Cmon, there's no way, what are you really?" I said, tapping his shoe with my own. He turned a bit pink.
"Okay, okay, I'm not a Knight.. But, I'm something in the castle." He said smirking a bit. Making me guess, huh?
2 can play this game!

"Butler?"
"Nope."
"Maid?"
"What- No?"
"Cook?"
"Nope."
"Mailman?"
"Nope."
"Well you said you were something! Is it important?"
"I'd say so.."
"General?"
"Nooo.."
"Archer?"
"Not exactly.."
"I don't know-- PRINCE?!" I said, exaggerating my answer.
"Uh, yeah..."
"Wait what?" I immediately bobbed my head back up and stared at him.
He turned more pink and nodded.
"Cool! Me too!" I said, not thinking all that well in the moment. At least we had something else we could relate on.
"Wait. WAIT. YOU'RE PRINCE ZAKARY--?!" He said, turning more pink.
"You mean you didn't know? I didn't even know the red kingdom HAD a prince!"
"W-well, I thought maybe you were a look-a-like, but I wasn't sure.." He said, putting his face in his hands.
"Aww, you're so pink!" I teased. I got off the statue and knelt down to him. So adorable.
"ITSJUSTTHATITHOUGHTYOUWERECUTEORSOMETHINGANDIWASNTSUREIFITWASYOUIMSORRYYOURHIGHNESS--"
"Woah, calm down, its okay! You said you were a prince too, am I right?"
He brought his head back up and nodded.
"Y-yeah.. I am.."
"So.. Any 'Queen' yet?" I said out of curiosity.
"Ah, um, no.. I'm.. Not interested.." He looked down a bit.
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I-.. I'm Ga--"

"PRINCE ZAK! THE KING REQUESTS YOU IMMEDIATELY!"
I turned around and saw one of the guards calling for me at the front of the garden.
"Aw, but I'm doing something!" I said, pouting.
"I-its okay, we can meet tomorrow!"
I nodded, putting up 4 fingers, and he nodded.
But I wouldn't meet him in the garden tomorrow.
