Maxon's POV: I left extremely happy and I was about to go up to my room when I remember my promise to America. I began to walk up to the girls room. I was walking along the corridor when I realised, I don't know which one was her room. I took a random guess, I opened the door and saw something I never thought I'd see. Especially not on the night. I saw one of the contestants, Marlee, in the arms of one of the palace guards. I gasped, and they both turned around. Marlee's eyes filled with fear, she ran other. "Please, your majesty, please. Its not what it looks like!"

"I can't force you to love me." I said. "We'll discuss this in the morning." She Hugged me and Officer Woodwork tried to walk past. "This remains between us." I told him sternly. He nodded and walked of bristly. I suddenly remembered why I was here. "Marlee!" I said. She ran over, looking nervous.

"Y - yes."

"Could you please direct me to Lady America's room?"

"Oh - oh yes." She said "It two from the left." I left.

I walked into her room and she came over to me. "Took you long enough!" She said, smiling.

"So as my friend." I said "Who do you think would be a good match for me?"

"Maybe Marlee." She said. I smiled, considering telling her about what I just saw, but I didn't want to put her (or me) at risk.

America's POV: When I suggested Marlee he just smiled. I think he's kind of writing her off. "Don't discard Marlee! She's really a lot of fun, and you've got to admit she isn't half pretty! Plus everyone loves her!" I tried to make Marlee sound as good as possible. But all what I said was true, mind that. He took my hand and looked me in the eye.

"America, your the favourite. Everyone loves you!"

"Really!" I said. "I - I didn't know that." He smiled at me and pulled me into a hug. I really like him. As much as I hate to admit I feel as if I'm slowly falling for him,

Sorry, second short one in a row! Shoot me, I'll try get up to 800 + soon
