Ooo la la

Well to continue... after the Prince left the princess she sadly realized that this was probably the last time she would see the prince. She realized that she had wasted her chance for a summer fling! All she got was time spent with a charming prince and nothing to show for it... Nothing except some apple sauce covered fireflies, a barbequed hamburger, scraped knees, and goose poop covered shoes!
She was flying out of St. Louis at 4:00 A.M. and decided to spend time with some friends. They went to Olive Garden and talked and giggled and gossiped. The princess told them all about the prince, but denied that she liked him. Her friends knowing her well did not believe her for a second. The princess thought about the prince the whole flight back to the land of the sun (Las Vegas)and decided that since she lived so far from the prince she would not think about him anymore. That was tough since he started texting her the minute she left and wouldn't stop! Okay, okay... So she liked it... a little.
Well time goes by and the princess adjusted back into her normal routine of teaching school, going to singles activities, and being one of the most popular princesses in all the land. The Nevada Princes all wanted to date her, but she was beginning to suspect that she had left her heart in Illinois.
The prince decided that he had had enough of just texting and calling the princess, he wanted to see her again. The perfect opportunity presented itself and the prince hopped a plane to spend the princess's birthday with her. Shortly before he arrived, the princess got nervous and decided she no longer wanted to even be friends with the prince. She would tell him after the weekend.
The princess took a personal day from work to spend more time with the prince... She was so nervous she had to drive around the airport twice because she missed the parking garage.
As the prince came toward her in the baggage claim area, the princess knew that she did want to be his "friend" still and that she would not break his heart this time. They grabbed his bag and proceeded to take a tour of all the wedding chapels on the strip... Just kidding, but they did walk around and talk.
Soon they headed to Alamo to hike and spend time with her family. After eating with the queen, king, and another princess, they went for a moonlight walk down a lonely road. That seemed to be a habit with these two, but this time there were no fireflies. The prince had a birthday surprise for the princess. They walked back to the car and he pulled out a book. It was called "A Fireflies First Flight", but the clever prince had rewritten the book "A Couples First Kiss". It was so sweet and clever that the princess's heart melted. After reading the book they shared a moonlight dance.
The next day the prince and princess took a drive to St. George to visit the sister of the prince. After a period of silence the prince stuttered, "What would you say if I said I think that I am falling in love with you?" The princess was so shocked all she could say (after a two minute pause) was "What if I said the same?" Awkward silence reigned until the prince broke it with unimportant chit chat. To be continued...
