"Courtney there 당신 are. Now young lady 당신 have some explaining to do."HER FATEHR SAID AS cOURTNEY LAID BACK IN HER 침대 LAZILY.Her shoudler length brown hair hanging 의해 the edge of the bed.

"Why did 당신 injure prince ali, he was such a fine young man, rich, educated, and handsome i should say.."her father said.

"Yes and he was also sexist and a pig when he decided to feel up on my backside and said i'd be his servant woman. That creep deserved that."Courtney said getting off her 침대 and walking over to her balcony.

"Courtney, 당신 are my only daughter, 당신 must lead over land, but 당신 also need a man to take care of ..."He is interrupted 의해 Courtney who snapps at her father. "Who said I needed a man! I don't! I am a natural born leader! I CAN HANDLE RULING OVER OUR KINGDOM WITHOUT ANY MAN'S HELP! THEY'D JUST GET IN THE WAY!" Courtney said raising her voice then turning her back on her father. Her father sighed and spoke, "Courtney you're a princess, you've had the luxury everyone wants. 당신 have riches and servants, without that, forgive me dear, but, 당신 surely cna't sruvive without that."Her father said.

Courtney didn't face her fahter but spoke sternly. "You're wrong, 당신 may believe that I can't do anything on my own,but I know I can, I could get offthis ilsand and live on my own instead of being trapped in here." She walks over the the edge of her balcony and just stands there staring at the view. Her fahter gives up and walks away.

When he is out of sight. Courtney thinks to herself. 'who does he think he is telling me I can't handle being 의해 myself. He's my father and he donesn't believe me...'Courtney then hatches an idea. "Well if he won't believe me, I'll just prove it." Courtney said. She ran over to her walk in closet taht was almost twice the size of her room.

She grabbed a gray hoodie she saved when she got it from a store in the city. She took off her tiara but kept her gem choker. She wore a pair of green capris she acquired also from the market. sHE PUT ON SOME SANDALS with straps and left her room through a secret passage way she discovered a long time ago. She exits through and it leads her to an alley. She walks out of the alley and walks into the 거리 sof her city. She sightsees and hides here choker gem, because of how noticeable it is. She comes across a flea market. She then stops 의해 a spot in thte market that sold jewelry.

With Duncan, he looked around in the flea market. He knew that this was a gold mind to steal. Everyone was crowded so no one saw their money taken. Duncan walks over to an alley to count his loot. While does he hears a high pitches shirek.

"Hey watch it buddy!"The voice said. Man that was a high pitch! Duncan looked over to see a man doubling over in pain and a girl in a gray hoddie, green capris and sandals standing over him. "Touch me again perv and you'll be sorry." She said in a high pitch threatning tone. 'wow taht's just how she talks'. He was about to go back to counting until he got a good look at her face. Then he couldn't look away. The girl had huge onyx eyes taht a hazy shadow, Smooth looking tan skin, pouty red lips, a little brown hair sticking out in front of her face, a body with a nice top, thin waist, and gorgeous huge hips, all the way down to her perfect legs. 'DAMN, THAT GIRL IS HOT'

He doesn't make a 옮기기 but just stares at her. Courtney, meanwhile is walking across stores and takes an 사과, 애플 from a 카트 for her. She forgets to pay since when she paid, she had guards around her who paid for her. The man at the 카트 growled as he saw Courtney leave with his apple. "HEY TOOTS! 당신 GONNA PAY FOR THAT!"He yells going afer her. Courtntey turns around and looks puzzled.

"Oh right, uh sorry sir, I don't have any money."COurtney said calmly. The man glared at her as she tried to walk away. He grabs her wrist tightly. "THIEF! WELL LETS SEE HOW THE POLICE FEELS ABOUT THIS!"He said dragging her bakc to his cart.

As Courtnry struggles to break free of his grasp, she hears a voice.

"HOLD ON MAN HOLD ON!" it said. It was a guy. She opened her eyes to see a guy in front of her captor. He had a green mohawk and an ear piercing, a unibrow with an eyebrow ring. He also had 물오리, 청록 blue eyes, beautiful 물오리, 청록 blue eyes. Sunkissed skin, an adorable smile. A fit chest with lean muscles rippling from his tight shirt. 'Wow never seen a guy guy like him before' she said in wonder and admiration to herself.

"Sorry dude, this is my cousin....Nikki, we just came here on vacation and she's a little slow if 당신 know what I mean."He said with a smirk and wink. Courtney's smile disappeared under a scowl. 'how dare that jerk say I'm dumb! I'm about the smartest woman around! And he doesn't look like no honorary scholar!hmph!' she thought to herself.

As she was thinking to herself, Duncan explained everything and gave the guy some money, wait where did he get that? she forgot about it as the guy let og of her. Then her 'rescuer' took her over to an alley. She willingly went without thinking. When they got to the alley Courtney snapped out of her trance and blew up. "Who do 당신 think 당신 are jerk!"Courtney screamed. He jumped at her reaction but scowled at her ungratefulness. "I think I'm the guy who saved 당신 from jail!"He said yelling back looking her dead in hte eye. 'how can she be ungreateful? I stuck my neck out for her. she's hot but she's got a hot temper too.' he thought.

"You called me slow!All have 당신 know I have above a 4.0 gpa,and can speak 10 different lanuguages and also happen to be gifted in 음악 and dance, as well as martial arts."She said with her nose in hte air.

'Wow this chick's gotta big head, and a pole up her butt'.He thought. "Well excuse me babe, but i was just trying to help.."he said but is interrupted. "Well who said I needed it?"She snapped at him with a glare.

"Well judging how 당신 were being dragged 의해 king kong over there, I'd say 당신 looked like 당신 needed help."dUNCAN SAID WITH A CHUCKLE. Courtney was about to counter argue until he pulled out the 사과, 애플 she took. He held it to her face and she went silent.

"What's this?"She asked unsure of his motives stepping back. "Wow, that's a 4.0 gpa talking?"he said sarcastically. She growled. "Look 당신 look hungry, so here."He said throwing her the apple. sHE LOOKED AT IT THEN AT THE MAN WHO GAVE IT TO HER.

"uh, thank you"she said quietly eating the 사과, 애플 sitting on the ground. DUncan joined her and watched her eat.

"Is there anything else?"she asked while eating. "Uh yeah, I''m waiting for my 'thank you' for keeping 당신 behind bars." He said

She sighed."OKay okay, thanks, I really do appreciate this." She said looking him in the eyes. No one knows who started but soon they were both smiling at each other.

'A hot chick who cna kick butt, has a sharp mouth, and can actually look me in the eye. She's not just any chick.'he thought. 'a hot guy that's actually charming, smart, and kinda funny. Wow, he's really...different.' she thought.

The alley was narrow so the edges wer close, dUNCAN AND cOURTNEY were leaning against separate walls. They sarted to lean over, both having a gleam in their eye, her eyesflutter shut and he slowly closes his,he graps her hand and she entwines her fingers in his hand. Her other arm wraps around his neck while his otehr arm is wrapped around her waist. tHEIR LIPS ARE SO CLOSE ALMOST TOUCHING, THEN "THERE THEY ARE!" A Voice says interrupting them. five police men attack the two. and hold them.

"So 당신 think 당신 can steal from us 거리 rat!"said the gurad holding Duncan. "And look here a 거리 mouse!" said the man holding cOURTNEY AND THROWS HER TO THE GROUND. "HOW DARE YOU! RELEASE HIM NOW!" SHE COMMANDED. Standing tall against the men. Duncan admired her bravery but hates her stubborness.

"Look at the little mouse, she's ordering us around as if she were the princess herself!"The gurad behind her says and they all laugh. Courtney remomves her 후드 to reveal her choker,[she's still wearing the hoodie, just put the 후드 down]
"LET HIM GO! 의해 ORDER OF THE PRINCESS" SHE COMMANDS. The men are in shock and they bow to her. They frocefully pull Duncan down to bow to her. Duncan's eyes are in shcok as he bows, 'the prncess' he whispers.

"WHta re 당신 doing outside of the palace and with this 거리 rat?"A guard asks. "That is none of your concern. Let him go! NOw!"she commands."I wish i could your highness but all criminal matters are up to the advisor, 당신 must talk it with him."he said. "belive me I will, 당신 will do nothing to him until i speak to my father!"she commands wlakking past him. SHe kneels down in front of dUNCAN. She raises his head to look at her and cups his cheek. "Don't worry this will all be over soon."she said softly and kissed him on the mouth quickly. ANd wlaked away excprted 의해 three guards.

'I just saved a princess..a princess, oh.. a princess'he thought.
