The Prince and the Princess (my very first short story)


The greatest stories are love stories. This is one of the best love stories anybody has heard for it’s about true love, heroes, foes, and sadly death.
            This story happened to be in the late 1400’s in Europe.  It’s about a princess and prince who were in love since they were little. Their names were Princess Valentine and Prince Laramie. Princess Valentine had a magical gift of health and could heal people with broken hearts.  Prince Laramie had a magical gift too; with his tears he could make people fall in love. The Princess and Prince never told anyone about their feelings for each other. Every time they saw each other they wanted so badly to tell each other about how they felt but they were afraid that the other one wouldn’t love them back. So for a long time they didn’t know about each other’s feelings. Then they finally find out about their love for one another.
            It all started on the very first day of summer. They hadn’t seen each other since last summer for they lived in different countries and only saw one another during this time of year. Princess Valentine lived in France with her parents: King Malory who was French and Queen Elizabeth who was British like Prince Laramie, whose mother was best friends with Princess Valentine’s mother and this was the only time they can visit one another. Well when Prince Laramie came to France he always brings his best friend Clark with him. There was something very evil about Clark but no one knows this….yet. Clark was also in love with the princess for she was very beautiful with her long brown hair and big blue eyes she got from her mother, and very soft and lovely skin, she was also skinny but not too skinny- just the right size for a very beautiful girl. She never had to wear make-up because there was no reason to, and, well, she hated the stuff too! Princess Valentine’s best friend was named Vega. Vega was jealous of Valentine’s beauty and life. Vega was very bitter, unlike Valentine’s kindness for everyone. Vega wanted Prince Laramie to love her. So you can see there was something going to happen with in these days. Laramie and Valentine spent most of the day together, wanting to tell one another of their feelings like always. Clark was in his room, planning to do something. Vega too was planning something.
            Laramie and Valentine usually walk around, sometimes Laramie would stop and cry with his tears someone around them would fall in love with one that loves them. These affects aren’t forever they only last for a little while but after it stops the person has a choice that he or she could stay in love with them or stop at that very moment. Valentine also helped people by saying French words “Soyez heureux” which means “be happy” then their broken heart is healed and they are healthy. When they see each other do these deeds they fall more in love with each other.
            When they got back to the castle they found out that Queen Elizabeth and Gypsy (Laramie’s mother) were throwing a Ball.
                                    “We are having a ball for the first day of summer.” They were very excited about it. The girls didn’t know what to wear to the ball but Laramie and Clark did.
            It came time for the ball, Valentine was wearing a light green silk dress with yellow roses and dark green leaves sewed on the dress. Vega was wearing a pretty white one nothing very special about it. It was just pretty. When Valentine saw Laramie- with his black hair and brown eyes he was very handsome. Her heart skipped a beat then she choked out, “Hello, you look very nice.”
Then he replied, “Same to you.” They dance with each other for a while, and then Prince Laramie declared, “You are a wonderful dancer.”
Princess Valentine confessed, “You too.” Later Princess Valentine was dancing with Clark.
Clark asked, “What are you doing tomorrow? Because, I thought we could go horseback riding and have a picnic.” She thought about it for a while and finally answered, “Yes”
Prince Laramie was dancing with Vega. Vega flirted, “What are you doing tomorrow?” Now it’s time to know this is one part of their plans. “Because I thought we could go swimming in the lake.
He replied saying, “Yes.” They dance with a few other people and then the ball was over. There was more to Clark’s plans.
            The next day Princess Valentine and Clark went horseback riding and had a picnic and here’s how it went.
            Clark made sure they would ride on the same horse. No one knows how he went about this but he did. They had good food on the picnic. Clark said, “You are very beautiful.”
Prince Laramie and Vega went swimming at the local lake, because it was a prefect day there was a lot of people there. She was mad because she wanted to be alone with him. They went swimming for a while then she told him. “You are very handsome.” She tried kissing him but he turned away for he did not love her. She got even madder, so they went home.
Back to Princess Valentine and Clark, they were still having a wonderful time. When they were done they got back on the horse and went back to the castle when they got off the horse, Clark grabbed her hands. When this happened Prince Laramie was watching and he thought that Princess Valentine loved Clark because the way they were looking at each other.
            The next day Valentine and Laramie got together and talk about the day before. Laramie told her about what happened and Vega trying to kiss him. Valentine got mad. Then she told him about how much fun she had and what a good time too. She left out the part about Clark holding her hands; she didn’t want to get him mad. But, he got mad because she left it out. So he blurted out, “What about the part when you guys were holding hands and looking at each other romantically, don’t say you didn’t because I saw you too. Do you love him?”
She replied, “No, he grabbed my hands before I could stop him! Why should you care anyways it’s not like you love me?”
He replied, “I have to go I’m late for buying you a birthday present.”
            The next day was Princess Valentine’s birthday; she was turning 17 years old. She is now a year younger then Laramie and Clark, but a year older than Vega who’s birthday is in winter. Today Valentine was going to wear the most beautiful dress she owned a purple and blue dress with butterflies on it. There was going to be a ball that night but before that there was a dinner for family and friends at that dinner she got her presents. From her parents a locket with two purple petals in it. From Queen Gypsy she got purple earrings. From Laramie a ring one of most beautiful rings in the world. What she got from Clark was a big shock.
Clark asked, “Will you marry me?”
She replied, “No, I can’t I don’t love you.” But this was even a bigger shock; her dad told them,
            “Valentine, you wouldn’t be able to marry him even if you loved him because you have an arranged marriage to the prince of Spain.”
            “What we didn’t tell you?” 
            “No you didn’t tell!” Valentine thought the ring Clark was going to give her was ugly. That night at the ball Vega finally gave her present, it was another ring it was okay, but Laramie’s was the best. At the ball Valentine only danced with Laramie. Even when someone asked her she said no. She wasn’t in the mood to dance with anyone else but Laramie.
            The next few weeks the Prince of Spain Hidalgo came and Valentine and him were getting to know one another and planning the wedding. The wedding is set for August 1st. But, now July 18th King Malory got really sick and two days later, he died. Clark has gone crazy with jealousy. On July 30th he planned to kill Hidalgo, when he did he framed no other then his best friend Laramie. Then Clark pretended to find his dead body and pieces of Laramie clothing next to his body, this was a part of his plan and that is to get rid of anyone who stands in the way of him marring Valentine. When Valentine heard about Hidalgo’s murder and how it is suppose to be Laramie who did it she didn’t believe them. She spent the whole day looking for the truth and at eight o’clock at night she realized that the clothing in the room was Laramie but he threw it out in June. Then she realized another he was with her all day and they talk all night so it could have been him, and there is only one person it could be, because Vega went to England, and the only person left is Clark who is totally in love with her. So she went to the guards and said “They have to let Laramie go because it wasn’t him it was Clark!”  One of the guards said,
            “Princess Valentine if this is true we better hurry and get the prince out or he is going to hate us!” The other one said.
            “I’ll go and get more guards and we’ll get Clark!”
            The next day was August 1st the day of the wedding none of the guest knew about his death but Queen Elizabeth told them that they’re allowed to stay. At that moment in Valentine‘s room with Laramie, Laramie has a surprise for her, going ask her to marry him. But, her heart was broken and she was really sad. Laramie said,
“Princess Valentine I love and loved you ever since we were little. Will you marry me?” and Valentine said,
            “I’ve been waiting for you to say that for a long time.” Then her heart was healed because of the word love. They got married that day and as a wedding present they got two dogs, as they kissed for the first time as King and Queen, the dogs did too with their noses rubbing together. THEY LIVED HAPPILY EVERAFTER.
