Could it be?

~Allison~

I woke to a sleeping Sage. The first thing I did was look over to my clock. It wasn't working. Huh. I looked at the TV remote sitting on the bedside table so I picked it up to look on TV. It wasn't working either. The power probably went out. It was raining hard so that is a possibility.

I shifted my weight off of Sage because I was half laying on her, and the other half was on the bed. I didn't want to wake her since I had woken her up so early. I had a terrible nightmare where, I never met her. Well, I did, but she was in such a bad condition that she hadn't made it. Then I was forced into marrying prince Johnathan. (First and second chapter) I really don't like him. Then I was forced to have kids with him. I shuddered at the thought of that. 

When thunder struck Sage jumped and whimpered in her sleep. I jumped because the sudden movement had startled me. I moved over to her and started to stroke her hair,trying to wake her.   She softly whimpered and I couldn't take it any longer. I grabbed onto her shoulders and heaved her against myself. Sage started to stir. When she woke enough to see who she was hugging. She hugged me back.  When I pulled away I could feel her longing for my touch. 

"Aww are you scared of the thunder?" I teased showing her that it was ok not to be serious all the time. I feel that is important in a relationship so you know how to act with the person.

"N-no I just..... I had a nightmare. Yeah!"

"Are you sure you seem pretty shaken over this?"

"Y-yeah i-it was about......... A giant.......A giant. AHHHHH!!"

As soon as thunder hit she screamed and jumped into my arms.

"O-ok maybe I am afraid of t-thunder." She was shaking as I held her. 

"Its ok minou. We all have our fears." She was curled up in a fetal position as I held her in my arms. I whispered to her stroking her hair, twisting it in between my fingers. Every time thunder struck she would jump a little. Holding onto me tighter.  I lifted her up so she wasn't laying down anymore.

"How about we do something while the storm rolls over?"

She nodded quickly and jumped out of bed running to the closet. While I was busy laughing at how quick she was acting she had already picked out dresses for both of us. She chose a mint green dress and a lavender dress. Both casual but still  fancy. 

"Chose whichever you like, Just lets hurry with this." She was talking so fast I almost didn't understand her. Thankfully I did so she didn't have to wait on me. And her being more scared by the second. 

"I'll take the purple one then." She nodded quickly and shoved me and herself into the bathroom. I was still laughing at her. She turned glared at me then shoved me behind the changing curtain.

"Hey!"

"Don't laugh at me and get dressed quickly." 

I laughed once again then continued to get dressed. I looked behind the curtain to see Sage standing impatiently tapping her foot brushing her hair at the same time. I threw my nightgown at her hitting her in the back of the head. Then ducked back behind the curtain as I heard her angry footsteps coming closer. She suddenly ripped open the curtain seeing me huddled in the corner shaking from holding in my laughter.  

"Stop laughing and get ready." She pulled me off the ground and set me back down on the bench. She walked around so she was behind me and zipped my dress then she stood me up and fluffed out my dress layers. She handed me the brush.

"Brush your hair if you want. And zip my dress please?"

"Of course. Turn around." She spun around and I zipped her dress. As I continued to brush my hair she left again to find us shoes. It was miraculous that we both had the same size. After a while here she got her health back and wasn't so skinny you could see her bones. She filled out and now fit into my dresses. 

"HEELS OR FLATS?"She yelled from the other room.

"FLATS!"

A few seconds later she came back with a pair of tan flats and she dropped them in front of me. She really had a knack for getting clothes that worked well together. She already had parts of being a princess down! Now all she has to learn is the work which knowing her shouldn't be that hard.She herself had dark brown flats. 

As I finished my hair, I wrapped my arm under hers. Linking our arms together. Like how a groom would walk his bride down the isle. We walked out of my bedroom and had to figure out a plan for us to do. 

"I have something. I can set you up so that you can get lessons on how to be a princess!"

"W-why would I need those lessons? Aren't I already a pretty good one?" She asked teasingly.

"Why yes you are but you are going to need to learn how to work in the office not just the etiquette. Which you have already mastered." Which was true. Ever since she came to stay with us, she had picked up on what I did. She walked, stood, and sat, with perfect posture. She placed her hands behind her back on folded in her lap. And when needed she had the capability to talk sternly to people.   

I held her hand and walked into my mothers office.

"Hello mother. I was wondering if I could show Sage how we work here. How to do the work and such." She gave me a skeptical look and looked down at hour intertwined fingers even though we held them behind our backs. 

"Can I talk to you in the hallway for a second? Sorry Sage I will bring her back soon." She shot Sage a soft smile and motioned for me to go to the hall with her.  When she started to walk out to the hall I turned to Sage.

"I will be right back koneko." I gave her a soft peck on the cheek and turned to walk to the hall.
