"Mamus!" Naiyak ang batang Alesia dahil nasira ni Maximus ang ginawa niyang bracelet, ibibigay dapat iyon ni Alesia kay Orion pero hindi natuloy dahil nasira ni Maximus.
"I'm swowwy okey? I didn't mean iwt!" Maximus explained.
"I will give it to Pwince Oyon" iyak lang ng iyak ang batang Alesia.
"I wiwl help you fix iwt , I pwamis!" But then alesia run, ayaw niyang makita ang mukha ni Maximus dahil sinira nito ang bracelet niya.
Makalipas and ilang oras, binalikan ni Alesia ang bracelet niya, ngunit hindi niya makita ito.
" is dwis what you looking fowr?" Prince Orion is in front of her, at hawak ang bracelet niya.
"You fix it?! Thankyou Pwince Oyon!" Alesia smiled and hug Prince Orion and kissed him in cheeks.
"Welcome Princess!"
Magkahawak kamay sila at sinalubong si Maximus, pero iniringan lang ito ni Alesia dahil naalala niya ang ginawa niya sa bracelet nito.
"I hate you Mamus!"

"Alesia, mag prepare ka na, we are going to the Royal Night diba?" My mom carefully caressed my hair, I don't have the energy to go to that party, wala ang great love ko.
I will really make sure na siya ang magiging king ko! Pero kelangan niya mapili sa dadating na Regal Selection, haaays, hindi naman siya siguro sasali don dahil hindi niya naman ako gusto, but I will be the future ruler of this country, so I hope so.
"Mom, Prince Orion is not there, I don't have the energy to go to that party" mom laugh softly, she really has a gentle voice and gentle personality, I admired her for that.
"Listen baby, Prince Orion will go to that party, malalate lang siya, who told you na hindi siya pupunta?" Nagtatakang tanong sakin ni Mom, but, sabi sakin ni Maximus... napaisip ako at, how I hate Maximus!
"Really mom? Then I need to prepare myself, I need to be beautiful in front of him!" I quickly run into my closet para kunin yung costume ko which is, si little red riding hood.
The royal night happens every year, Family of Auschen ang gumawa nito and it became our own tradition every year and the theme for the royal night tonight is a costume party, so I'm ready to rock my costume.
"Your dad and I will wait in the living room, be careful"
"MOM! DON'T TELL DAD!" I remind my mom to never tell my dad about me having a crush, I'm only 13 years old, at sasabihin sakin ni dad na masyado pa kong bata para sa crush, kaya bawal sabihin, dalawang tao lang ang nakakaalam non, my mom and my most hated prince, Prince Maximus
"Yes baby, don't shout" she is a really calm woman, I want to be like my mom when I grow up.

Dahan dahan akong bumaba ng hagdan to feel my moment, makikita ko na si Prince Orion, excited na ko, magugustuhan niya kaya ang costume ko ngayon?
"Hey, little red!" someone at my back shouted, and I knew it was him, and his smirk is so annoying, kailan niya kaya ako titigilan.
"Hi, mister..." I am shocked, mag partner yung costume namin, siya yung wolf, that-not-so-beautiful-wolf! I don't want him to be my partner!
"You are a wolf?! No! You can't be, I only want Prince Orion to be my partner" unti unting nawala yung ngisi niya, well I don't want him to be my partner, that would be a disaster.
"Ow, so Prince Orion again? I heard that he has a chickenpox today so he can't go for todays party" what? No, I waited for him, I even wish na isasayaw niya ako until my feet hurts, my eyes watered, and I saw Maximus panic and became worried.
"I'm sorry, I-i will just call Prince Orion, stop crying please" he wipe my tears, and still in panic at ako naman ay umiiyak pa din "wait here okay? Just wait, please stop crying" Tumakbo si Maximus at lumabas saglit ng party, saan naman siya pupunta?
I just sat there and wait, and naiinip na ako, Pupunta nalang ako sa fountain at mag ka-cry, at iisipin ko nalang si Prince Orion, tapos magiging partner kami, and we will live happily ever after, I can't wait for that moment.
"Alesia" that voice! Mabagal kong inangat ang aking tingin, at nakita ko si Prince Orion! Naka wolf outfit siya, partner kami! My heart beats fast, and at that moment, nagkatitigan lang kami ni Prince Orion, his blue eyes, It's really beautiful and captivating, he was smiling in front of me, and I wiped my tears, and I smile lovingly in front of him.
"I thought hindi ka makakapunta? What happend?" He smile, how I love that smile, It's so beautiful.
"Well someone said that this beautiful woman is waiting for me" I giggled, I'm only 13 years old while Prince Orion is already 16, and he is very handsome with blue eyes, he is the same age as Maximus.
"You're a wolf, So you are my partner right?" He nodded, and I smiled, until my jaw hurts, but I don't care "Let's dance?" I feel happy, so happy that I want to cry, I feel butterflies in my tummy.
"Hmm!" I nodded and I let him hold my hands at hinila niya ko papunta sa gitna ng dancefloor, and the song! It's my favorite.
You know I want you
It's not a secret I try to hide
I know you want me
So don't keep saying our hands are tied
He slowly put my hand into his shoulder and he put his hand on my waist.
You claim it's not in the cards
Fate is pulling you miles away
And out of reach from me
But you're here in my heart
So who can stop me if I decide
That you're my destiny?
Please destiny, work with me, we can do this.
What if we rewrite the stars?
Say you were made to be mine
Nothing could keep us apart
You'd be the one I was meant to find
It's up to you, and it's up to me
No one can say what we get to be
So why don't we rewrite the stars?
Maybe the world could be ours
Tonight
Maybe the world could be ours, tonight
"So Miss Red, will you be my Princess for tonight?" I'm shock, syempre papayag ako, this is my long time dream, to be his princess and he will be my prince, I hug him, very tight! I love feeling this moment.
"Yes, I'll be your princess" he reached my face and slowly carresing it, I hold his hand, Aaminin ko na sakanya, I like him since we were a kid, lagi niya akong pinag tatanggol, I reach his face and-
Someone cough, napatingin tuloy ako, at nakita ko si Maximus, nakatingin sakin at hindi na wolf ang outfit niya, naka pirate outfit na siya, lumapit siya samin at hinila ako.
"Hey stop, I'm dancing with Prince Orion!" Pinipilit kong alisin yung kamay niya sa kamay ko, but he's too strong, I can't take it off "Maximus!"
"Stop shouting, You act like a commoner, be a princess, Alesia" he calmy but coldly say.
"Where's your wolf outfit?" Hindi na kase wolf yung outfit niya naka pirate outfit na siya.
"Well, I give it, it looks ugly" hmmp, he is surely ugly, but with Prince Orion, everything is beautiful.
"You too, you look ugly" what?! I am not! My mom and always telling me that I am too beautiful and cute, he is a liar!
—————
Where's Prince Orion? Ba't nawawala na siya? I really hate Maximus for ruining the moment! It's my time to shine! Pero sinira niya.
after saying that I am ugly, umalis na din siya, that brute!
Nakatingin lang ako sa baba at nakita ko ang paa mg wolf, si Prince Orion! But what's with the wolf mask? I can't see his beautiful face.
Inabot niya ang kamay ko and I gladly took it, syempre isasayaw ko ang love of my life ko, hinila niya ko sa gitna and the song starts.
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first, I loved you first
Beneath the sheets of paper lies my truth
I have to go, I have to go
Your hair was long when we first met
What's with this song? I don't know, but i feel different, I can't explain , maybe because I can't see his face.
Samson came to my bed
Told me that my hair was red
Told me I was beautiful, and came into my bed
Oh, I cut his hair myself one night
This is weird, I feel different.
A pair of dull scissors in the yellow light
And he told me that I'd done alright
And kissed me till the mornin' light, the mornin' light and he kissed me till the mornin' light
Should I confess? Definitely! I should confess!
Oh, we couldn't bring the columns down
Yeah, we couldn't destroy a single one
And history books forgot about us
And the Bible didn't mention us, not even once
"Prince Orion, I know i'm too young but, l-I like you since we were kids, y-you fix my bracelet right? And for the first time, m-my heart beats fast and Since then I lo-" he stop, he hug me very tight, and I feel his heart, It's also beating fast, does he like me too?
"I lov-" hindi ko na natapos ang sasabihin ko dahil nag madali siyang umalis.
You are my sweetest downfall
I loved you first
After matapos ng song at nung sayaw namin ni Prince Orion, I sat there in the corner and watch people enjoying their day, while me, I'm still confused, why he didn't let me finish?
Naglalakad lakad ako, at tumigil sa may fountain, hindi ko na nakita si Maximus pagkatapos niya kong sabihan ng ugly, that brute.
And then my face lit up, "Prince Orion!" He look at me and smile.
"Hi, baby princess, I'm sorry but it's time for me to go, may nangyari daw kay mom sa bahay, she is sick.
Nalungkot ako bigla, may sakit yung mom ni Orion, I feel bad for him "Ow, Okay, Please take care and tell your mom to be well, goodbye"
"Thank you" and he quickly walked and Left, now I'm alone, maybe it's time for me to go home too, I will tell my mom what happend today, she will be surely happy for me!
