"Oh no." She leaned forwards to her ear and whispered "No matter what, i love you" Her voice was shakey. she leaned away and walked beside Dawn with her head down and her hands clasped infront of her body, still holding a rag.

"I love you to," she said and stayed in pace with her. When they reached the thrown room her parents were already waiting. "We're disappointed in you Dawn," her father says. "Father listen I can explain," Dawn began to say but stopped seeing the king's hand go up. There is silence for a while before her mother says, "How long were you going to wait until you told us?" Confused Dawn looks at Cherry then back. Her mother walks over and hugs Cherry, "We thought our daughter would never find true love! But look here you are and you're so cute!"

"Oh! Ya. Thanks. I mean we thought- nevermind." She hugged her back. "It's a pleasure to be friends, let alone be her partener. How did you find out is my question."

The queen smiles, "Oh we have our ways." "And there is no need to worry about breaking that old law," chimes in the king, "I myself used to be a butler for the queen when she was young. We fell in love years later and now we are here." A smile is on Dawn's face, "So your ok with us being together?" Both the king and queen nod in approval, "We just wanted you guys to not worry so much anymore."

Cherry was now excited rather than scared. What would her parents think though? She was practically betrothed already. But she was in love with someone else. Someone who would love her for her. someone she could rely on. Someone who could rely on her.

She reached for Dawns hand and grabbe it. "Thank you." She said to Dawns parents with a bow.

She felt Cherry's hand hold hers and watch as her parents bow back at her. "No thank you," says the queen, "thanks to you we now know that our daughter will live happily with someone and not with some other prince." Dawn nods again at her parents and look at Cherry with a smile.

Cherry smiled back and turned around. She gently pulled dawn with her to Dawns room and gave her a quick kiss and whispered close to her ear "I love you" before letting go to go back to her job.

"Love you more," she says with a smile. She then watched her leave and went over to take care of Rogue. The falcon seemed glad to have something to eat and to have attention. He hopped onto her shoulder once he had eaten some and rubbed his head against her cheek. Dawn chuckled some and began to pet him.

Cherry was finished her shift soon after and went to take care of Centello. The trusty mare stood proudly but very dirty. Dried sweat cloaked her coat. "Goodness Centello" Cherry said, and stepped back. She brushed her fast and efficiantly so shine her coat once more before her next shift began. She went to change the sheets as she always did this time of day, starting with the king and queens room, as to not get distracted by Dawn. If she was still in there.

Once done taking care of Rogue and letting him out to fly, which she did on certain days, she sat down at her desk. She pulled out a sketch book and a pencil and began on a drawing. She couldn't help but think about Cherry and began to draw a picture of her on Centello. She started with the base lines and carefully began to sketch around them so they looked better.
