Everyone surrounded Amelia as she was lying on the floor unconsciously.

"Amelia? Amelia wake up!" Rogue said as he started to shake her softly.

Amelia's eyes started to open and Rogue let her go.

"Oh thank goodness." He mumbled.

Amelia sat up.

"That was the worst nightmare ever." Amelia said.

"Nightmare?" Sting questioned.

"Yeah... My dad called us to the throne room and told me I have to.marry some creepy prince from Pegasus kingdom." Amelia explained "And then..." Amelia started to say but then Rogue and Sting started to shake their heads warning her.

"You think I'm creepy?" Prince Hibiki said as he kneled down to her.

"Er..." Amelia said (Cue for anime swear drop)

"I'm hurt... Really..." Hibiki said.

Amelia sighed.

"The nightmare is true? Oh dear..." Amelia mumbled under her breath.

"Amelia. You must marry Prince Hibiki to join our two kingdoms.." Her father said.

"What about my cousin?" Amelia asked.

"Cana? She is too much of a handfull. No one can handle her." The king said.

Amelia stood up.

"Well I'm not getting married to a stranger!" Amelia exclaimed as she stormed off.

The king sighed.

"I apologize for my daughter. Rogue! Make sure she's ok! Sting! Make sure Cana is not drunk again." The king ordered.

"Yes your highness." They both said as they walked off.

"Since when is it part of our job to check on Cana?" Sting asked.

"When did this become our job?" Rogue asked.

"You're right..." Sting sighed. "Damn Weisslogia and Skiadrum! Its their fault for making us do this! I bet they're together right now, watching us!" Sting exclaimed.

In a cave somewhere...

"So Princess Amelia has to get married?" Weisslogia asked.

"These boys are going to get a lecture for blaming the job on us!" Skiadrum said annoyed with vain popping out of his head.

Back at the castle...

Amelia was in her room, packing her stuff when there was a knock at the door.

"Princess?" Rogue asked as he opened the door a little andpoked his head around.

Amelia turned around.

"Rogue? What are you doing here?" Amelia asked. "No, never mind, help me pack!" She said.

"I'm leaving until father calls off the engagement." Amelia said as she put some clothes in a bag.

"You can't do that." Rogue said as he walked to Amelia and stopped her from packing by grabbing her wrist.

"Let me go." She ordered as she turned to look at him, but then she saw it...

She saw pain in Rogues eyes.

"Rogue what's wrong?" she asked.

"Why would anything be wrong?" Rogue asked.

"You're eyes are full of pain. What's wrong?" Amelia asked.

"I'm fine." Rogue said.

"No you're not. What's wrong!?" Amelia asked impatiently.

"I said it's nothing!" Rogue snapped as he turned away.

"Damn it Rogue, what's wrong?!?!" Amelia asked shouting.

"I'm sick alright?!!" he snapped.

"Rogue?" Amelia asked.

"I'm sick of this! You're marrying to protect your country!" Rogue snapped.

"I have a sister and cousin Rogue!" Amelia shouted which shocked Rogue.

Rogue was used to seeing a calm and kind princess and now he's seeing a angry princess.

"My sister! Princess Racheal is a year younger than me! My cousin is the same age. Why do I have to be the one to get married when I have a sister and cousin?!" Amelia asked.

Rogue knew he was going to hate this but he had to say it.

"Stop being so selfish!" He shouted.

"Selfish?" Amelia asked. "I have dedicated my entire life to protect my kingdom, my people, everything! How am I being selfish!?" Amelia asked.

"Well if you think you're not being selfish by doing what's right for your people then tell your dad that instead of trying to run away!" Rogue shouted as he walked to the door.

"Rogue? Rogue Cheeney, don't you dare walk away from me!" Amelia shouted.

Rogue stopped and Amelia noticed his shoulders shaking.

"I need... I need to go..." He said as he walked out shutting the door.

His voice sounded like he was goinf to cry.

Amelia was too angry at the moment and threw a pillow at the door

"Argh!" She shouted as she paired down on her bed, curled up, put a pillow in between her legs and her chest and broke out in tears.

"Why? Why can't he see that I... That I love him..." She said in a whispered voice.

Meanwhile outside her door...

"Why? Why can't she see that I... That I love her?" Rogue asked himself in a whispered voice with tears falling down his face.

He walked down the hall with his face down.

Lucy walked past him and saw the tears fall down his face.

As Rogue walked off, Lucy stopped and watched him go.
"Did something happen between him and the princess?" Lucy thought.
