  "writing": "[center][u][b]The Mudsdale[/b][/u][/center]\n\nThe sun shines over the mansion as the lands are peaceful… Or it was until a very irate Max yells out: \"Charlie! Hurry up with our breakfast!\" As it turns out, Albert and his sons are waiting impatiently for their breakfast to be served to them. Eventually, Charlie makes his way to the dining room with a tray full of food and a teapot as he said: \"Don't shout. I'm coming.\" As he sets the tray on the table, Alex said: \"About time you showed up. I was starting to believe that you were trying to starve us the whole time. And having me wait for some food is putting me in a rather bad mood.\" Charlie then places the food next to Alex and Max as he said: \"I'm sorry.\" He then places the basket full of bread on the table as Max then said: \"Yeah. Well, I'm hungry. And when I'm hungry, I lose some energy. And when I lose some energy, I get tired. And I need to keep my energy up.\" \"It looks like you been awfully tired a lot.\" This causes Max to stare at Alex and said: \"Huh?! And what's that supposed to mean?!\" And Alex simply replied: \"Oh, nothing. Maybe you should stop eating sweets or you'll get fat pretty quickly.\" This causes Max to get off of his seat, look at his brother with anger and said: \"You take that back, Alex!\" \"Or what?\" Alex said as he got up from his seat and stared at his brother. Realizing that it could get serious, Charlie said: \"You know, if you don't eat. Your food would get cold.\" But this simply got a response of both brothers by saying: \"Stay out of this!\"\n\n\"That's enough, you two!\" Albert said as he slams his fist on the table, causing the two brothers to look scared as they look at his father. Albert then said: \"You two boys have the table manners of barbarians. Now go sit back down and eat your food like a proper gentleman.\" This causes the two brothers to immediately sit back on their seats and said: \"Yes sir.\" They then proceed to eat their breakfast as Charlie places a couple of bowls, full of hot milk, near Jen and Ruby. Albert sees the two brothers eating as he then said: \"There. That's much better.\" Charlie then proceeds to stand up and said: \"If you guys don't mind. I would like to get going now.\" But as he takes a couple of steps towards the kitchen, Albert said: \"Hold it, Charlie.\" Curious, Charlie turns and looks at his father and said: \"Is there something else, father?\" And Albert simply replied: \"Yes. I wanted to know what you are exactly planning to do.\" Charlie then said: \"Oh. Well, you see. After I go and make myself some breakfast, I would go into town and restock our food supply from the market.\" But then, Albert said: \"That won't be happening. It seems that you have already forgotten about our earlier discussion and the promise that you have made last night.\"\n\nThis shocks Charlie as Alex then said: \"Charlie would probably forget his own name if he gets the chance.\" And Max then said: \"Come on, don't you remember? You said that you would go out and find the maid that works in the princess's room and then you bring her over for supper.\" Upon hearing that, Charlie remembers the moment where he ran into the Gardevoir from the flower festival. And while Charlie believes that she lies about being a maid, he was confused as to why the others believed it. But even if it's true or not, it doesn't change the fact that he didn't even ask her for her name. So he said: \"W-Well… I-I remember… But… I can't…\" \"What did you say?!\" Albert said as he is getting angry. Feeling the tension, Charlie tries to speak, but Albert cuts him off by saying: \"Listen to me, boy. You will not get a single speck of crumb off the dirty streets until you go and find that maid. And if you don't want to starve on the streets, I suggest that you go quickly.\" But then Charlie tries to defend himself by saying: \"But… I don't even know her name…\" But Albert just said: \"You heard me. Not one crumb!\"\n\n\nIn the town of Espérer, the villagers are going on with their usual lives. And among the villagers going on with their usual lives, Charlie is walking down the pathway as he clenches his stomach from not getting his breakfast. But while that's terrible for Charlie, it's also quite troubling for him since he has to go and find the lying Gardevoir again. Oh… What a tight pickle I'm in. Ever since I ran right into that Gardevoir, there has been nothing but trouble. But as he recalls the events from yesterday, he does feel a little bit guilty. Then again… What if she really is a maid from the castle… She could be telling me the truth and I wouldn't give her the time of day. Just as he is thinking about the situation that he is in, he hears his stomach growls loudly as it catches the attention of nearby villagers, putting Charlie in the center of attention. Feeling embarrassed, he starts laughing nervously as he walks backwards before quickly hides in one of the alleyways. Once he sees that the villagers stop looking at him, he proceeds to go and sit on the stairway, before saying: \"Oh… I'm so hungry, I could faint. I'll never be able to find that girl and I won't be able to eat again.\"\n\nAs he is feeling depressed, he heard a familiar bark nearby. When he looks at the source of the bark, he finds Zeus in the alleyway with him as Zeus is holding on to a basket with his mouth. Charlie then proceeds to grab the basket from Zeus's mouth and said: \"Zeus. What do you got in the basket, boy?\" Upon opening the basket, he discovers that there are four loaves of bread in the basket. It looks like Zeus manages to grab some bread from the kitchen and brought them to him. And although his father said that he cannot eat anything until he finds the maid, he knows that he'll more likely to faint if he doesn't eat anything soon. So he grabs one of the loaves of bread from the basket and said: \"Thanks, Zeus. Let's have a picnic together before we go and find the Gardevoir.\" Zeus lets out an excited bark as Charlie places the basket on the ground. The two then begin to eat their bread together.\n\n\nOnce they have their bread and gather their strength back, they proceed to begin their search. They start searching through the town's park as they look around. While they see a lot of noblemen and noblewomen in the park, they haven't spotted the Gardevoir that they're looking for. Just as they were about to give it up, Charlie notices a lady wearing similar clothing as the Gardevoir, as well as having green hair. This causes Charlie to say: \"Oh. There's the Gardevoir.\" Confident that she is the Gardevoir, Charlie runs up to her and places his hand on her shoulder and said: \"Hey, miss. I was hoping that-\" But just before he could finish, she turns around and quickly reveals to Charlie that she is not only the girl that she didn't met before but also, she's a human and not a Gardevoir. He quickly `lifts his hand as the disgruntled woman turns around and said: \"What's the big idea!? Don't go and grab on to some random lady and expect them to listen to you! You've got to learn some manners if you want to talk to a lady!\" Charlie then quickly bows his head and said: \"I'm truly sorry, miss. I didn't mean to cause you any trouble.\" The disgruntled woman then looks at him with confusion, before dismissing him as she walks away. Charlie then lifts his head and looks at Zeus with an embarrassed look on his face as he said: \"Heh heh… I must have found the wrong woman…\"\n\nThey then continue their search as they find a statue of a well known general, riding on a Rapidash. Realizing an idea, the two proceed to get on the statue as they'll examine their surrounds and see if they can find the Gardevoir. However, for as much as they look from higher ground, they both could not find the Gardevoir that they are looking for. Realizing that they're not accomplishing anything, they got off of the statue and go look in a different location. In the market area, the two searches through the crowd. But then the crowd started to crowd upon the two. This causes the two to get split up, with Zeus getting left behind while Charlie gets pushed forward as he tries to reach for Zeus from the sea of unexpecting crowd. After managing to get away from the crowd at the marketplace, the two meet up as they continue their search for the Gardevoir.\n\nUnfortunately, even with the two searching through the whole town, they couldn't find the Gardevoir that they're looking for. Feeling defeated, both Charlie and Zeus sits near a shaded tree. Charlie then said: \"Oh… What are we going to do… We search the town from top to bottom and still we couldn't find her. If I don't hurry and find her before supper…  Then I'll never be able to return home again… And I'll probably starve in the streets...\" Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly has a realization as he said: \"Unless…\" Just as Zeus looks at Charlie with confusion, they both soon look at the once place that they haven't searched yet. And that is the castle that houses the princess. This causes Charlie to stand up and said: \"Maybe… The Gardevoir was telling the truth when she said that she's the maid that works in the princess's room…\" And if that's the case… Then I'll have to go and apologize to her as well as make it up to her…\n\n\nMeanwhile, back at the house. Albert, Alex and Max are busy setting up a table for when Charlie brings back the maid. Just as they lay out the sheet on the table, Max said: \"Father. I know that we're doing all of this work for the maid, but do you really believe that Charlie would bring back the maid?\" Albert then said: \"Of course, if he ever plans on eating here again. And should he not return here with the maid, then I'll go and deal with him.\" But then Max said: \"Well can he at least set the table up for us, before going off and finding that maid?\" And Alex then said: \"Yeah. Why should we do all of the heavy liftings, while Charlie goes off and have fun.\" But Albert simply said: \"That's enough, you two. The only reason why we're going through all of this, is that we can ask that maid topics over what type of boys does the princess likes, remember?\" And the two brothers sigh as he said: \"We remember…\"\n\nBack over at the castle. Charlie made it close to the castle walls when he was stopped by the castle's guards from the top of the walls. After Charlie explains the situation that he's in as well as give the guards the info about the maid Gardevoir that he's looking for, one of the guards proceeds to go to the side of the tower while the other guard stands guard as he stares at Charlie. After a while, one of the guards proceeds to walk up to Charlie, as Charlie asked: \"Did you find her, sir?\" But the guard simply replied: \"I'm sorry. But we don't have anybody that matches your description. But basically, only Madam Nicole the Gothitelle is allowed to decide which maid gets to clean the princess's room.\" Feeling depressed from hearing the guard's news, Charlie said: \"I see… Sorry to have wasted your time.\" Charlie then bows his head as both Charlie and Zeus leaves the castle walls, while the guard goes back inside.\n\n\nAs they walk back home, Charlie said: \"I should've known that Gardevoir wasn't the maid that works at the princess's room. She's nothing more than a deceitful liar.\" It's one thing to be friendly with everybody, it's another thing to deal with someone who lies to him and tries to take advantage of him. He wasn't sure what was the Gardevoir's plan is by lying to him, but he knows that he won't be seeing her again. But in an effort to make Charlie happy, Zeus jumps onto Charlie's back and starts rubbing the side of his neck. This causes Charlie to stop and laugh as he said: \"H-Hey... Cut it out, Zeus.\" After Zeus got off of Charlie's shoulders, Charlie turns around said: \"Where you excited when we got close to the castle that has the princess?\" And after Zeus lets out an excited bark, Charlie then said: \"Yeah… Me too...:\" He then proceeds to stand up and fantasize about the princess as he then said: \"Think about it, Zeus… With the princess's beautiful skin, her graceful appearance, her kind voice and her wonderful sense of smile. If I can give my life to protect her, I will do it in a heartbeat.\" Charlie starts to get embarrassed as he said: \"Man… I don't know what came over me. But I need to stay calm.\" Charlie then tries to stay calm. Unfortunately, Charlie starts to get flustered again as he starts imagining about the princess again. Charlie then tries to control himself by slapping his cheeks and said: \"What is wrong with me. Why do I keep having these fantasies.\" Just as Charlie tries to get himself under control, he hears a woman laughing at him. Not sure where it's coming from, Charlie proceeds to look around his surroundings, only to see some leaves falling from the trees. \n\nUpon looking upon where the leaves have fallen, he couldn't believe his eyes. But as fate and luck would have it, Charlie has managed to find the Gardevoir who lied about being a maid. And said Gardevoir is currently lying on her side on the branch while holding onto a leaf in her mouth as Charlie said: \"What the? What are you doing up there?\" And the Gardevoir simply replied: \"Well, to tell you the truth. I came over here to get some peace and quiet. But then you showed up and pretty much made me an audience of your one-man comedy act.\" As the Gardevoir proceeds to sit up and jump off of the tree branch, Charlie said: \"Well if you have any manners, you would have let me know right away, instead of spying on people.\" After the Gardevoir lands on the ground, she said: \"Before you go on about your dream princess or starting your lesson on manners, didn't you say that you were looking for me?\" While technically, he is looking for her, she is known to lie to him on multiple occasions. So he said: \"No, you're mistaken. I never said such a thing.\" And the Gardevoir simply asked: \"Oh? Then what were you doing at the castle?\" This doesn't help Charlie's situation at all as he mumbles: \"O-Oh… Y-You see… I… I went to the castle, because…\" As he remains silent, the Gardevoir walked closer to him and said: \"Come on. You can tell me, you came to the castle to see me.\" This flusters Charlie as he quickly said: \"No, that's not true! I mean… Yes, I did went to the castle… But it wasn't to see you. It's something… Important…\" Charlie then remains silent as the Gardevoir stares at him.\n\nIn the town. Cinder is getting her art supplies ready for her lessons with the kids near the forest. And although she was supposed to be watching over Charlie, the kids did ask her to teach them on painting and she couldn't say no. As she finishes up with her art supplies, she heard a voice saying: \"Where are you taking me, miss. Let me go.\" She immediately recognizes the voice belonging to Charlie as she looks at her side and saw a Gardevoir pulling Charlie down the pathway as she said: \"Just hang tight. I'm taking you over to the statue of honesty.\" \"The statue of honesty?\" Charlie said as Cinder gets up and follows the two. At the fountain, the Gardevoir dragged Charlie to the fountain as she then said: \"Here we are, the statue of honesty.\" Charlie then looks at the statue and sees an older gentleman with a book and torch and riding on a Virizion. The Gardevoir then said: \"Legends has it that for those that stand in front of the statue, the truth shall always come out.\" As Charlie asks: \"Okay… But why did you bring me here?\" The Gardevoir then turns around and said: \"You said you went to the castle, but you claim that you didn't came to see me. I find that very hard to believe. Now it's time for you to tell me the truth.\" \n\n\nBut Charlie dismisses her words by saying: \"Pardon me for saying this. But how can I tell you the truth when you keep lying to me. You even lied to me about being a maid that works in the princess's room.\" But the Gardevoir said: \"What are you talking about? It is true.\" And Charlie then said: \"If that's the case, then you wouldn't mind telling me your name then.\" \"You want to know my name?\" Gardevoir asked as Charlie's patient is wearing thin. But if the Gardevoir does admit that she was lying to him and was just messing with him for fun, then maybe he would forgive her… And the Gardevoir simply responded with: \"Very well. My name is Nicole.\" At that point, he has had enough with her as Charlie said: \"You're not being funny. You are clearly no maid. The guard at the castle has told me that no one has even heard of you. And while the one that decides who gets to clean the princess's room is called Nicole, she is a Gothitelle, not a Gardevoir like you.\" As the Gardevoir looks confused as she looks at herself, Charlie simply turns around and said: \"So goodbye.\" And he proceeds to walk away angrily as Zeus looks worried as he follows Charlie. And while that's going on, Gardevoir quickly said: \"No, please wait-\" But she just sees Charlie walking away as she felt defeated. Nearby, Cinder watches the whole event unfold as she said: \"I wouldn't have imagined that it would be so hard for these two to get along.\n\nAt the bridge, Charlie is returning home with the news about the lies the Gardevoir has made as well as the guard's info about the maid. But as he is about to cross the bridge, he felt a tug on his leg. When he looks behind him, he saw that Zeus is pulling on his pants while giving off a whining voice. Concern, Charlie said: \"What's wrong, boy? Are you worried about that Gardevoir?\" After Zeus let Charlie go and continues with his whining voice, Charlie said: \"Look, Zeus… You shouldn't believe what she said. I mean… At first, I thought that she was a rather nice girl and that we could be great friends… But how can I be friends with a liar.\" He then proceeds to turn back around and walk back home as he said: \"Now I need to go and let my father know…\" He then immediately stopped as he said: \"Oh no… My father…\" [i]I forgot that my father believes that the Gardevoir is the maid… If I tell him that she's not, he won't believe me… Or better yet, I'll get punished regardless if I told him the truth or not… I was still upset over that Gardevoir lying to me that I completely forgot about my father's request...[/i] Charlie then turns around again and said: \"If we can hurry, we can find that Gardevoir and hopefully explain our situation to her. Come on.\" As Zeus let out a confident bark as he gets excited, the two proceed to run back to town. Nearby, Cinder heard his conversation with Zeus as she said: \"Oh, what am I going to do? I wish I could go and help him, but I'm so busy and I'm late as it is.\"\n\n\nBoth Charlie and Zeus rushes over to the Virizion fountain, where they last saw Gardevoir, in a hope that she would still be around. But unfortunately for them, she is nowhere to be found. This worries the two as they resume their search through the town. But for as much as they search through the town, they could not find a single trace of that Gardevoir. After scouring through the town, both Charlie and Zeus ends up in a nearby Mudsdale farm as Zeus helps Charlie by pumping the water while Charlie cleans his face. Once that's done, he proceeds to sit by the wall on the house as a sign of defeat. While he sits there, Cinder walks on the grass way, near the fence, when she spots Charlie as he said: \"What am I going to do… We search practically everywhere and we couldn't find her… I feel like I ruined my chances with her… I don't know what to do at this point…\" As Charlie glomps his head down, Cinder realizes that he truly needs help as she looks around. She then gets an idea as she spots a female Mudsdale in the field as she lets out her magic wand and said: \"Poor Charlie. He feels like he lost his chance when she lies to him. But I'll give him hope by using a look-alike that would soon fool his father.\" And with a flick of her wrist, a spell is cast as dust particles fly in the air and landed on the female Mudsdale, causing it to transform into a female Gardevoir. This causes said Mudsdale to look confused, while the other Mudsdale runs off in a panic.\n\nCharlie hears the sound of neighing Mudsdales nearby as he looks at the source of the sounds. Upon doing that, he sees the Gardevoir looking confused. But upon closer inspection, he saw that it's the same Gardevoir from the fountain. This causes Charlie to get up and said: \"Oh! There she is!\" But then he saw a farmer running up to the Gardevoir with a pitchfork as Charlie realized that he needs to save her. But what he doesn't know is that the Gardevoir he saw is actually the female Mudsdale. The farmer goes up to the Gardevoir and said: \"Hey! What are you doing in the fields, lady?\" The confused Gardevoir looks at the farmer and said: \"What are you talking about? Isn't this my home?\" She then let out a neighing noise as she shakes her head, which confuses the farmer. But then, Charlie managed to get on the fence and hugs the Gardevoir and said: \"Sorry about that, mister. She has a bit of a memory loss. I've been looking all over for her since she last slipped by. I do hope that you can forgive her.\" As the confused Gardevoir said: \"Huh? What are you-\" Charlie said: \"Come on, you. Let's get you back to the doctor.\" Charlie then proceeds to drag her over the fence and down the pathway as the farmer looks confused. Nearby, Cinder said: \"There we go. She does look like her.\" But then she remembers something as she said: \"Oh dear. I almost forgot. It's almost time for the children's painting lesson.\" Cinder then proceeds to head off to go teach.\n\nBack at the town, Charlie is dragging the really confused Gardevoir through the streets as he said: \"Okay, miss. For as much as I don't trust you with your lies, I do need your help.\" And the confused Gardevori asks: \"Huh? What are you talking about?\" And Charlie replied: \"I don't know what you did, but you managed to convince my father that you're a maid that works in the princess's room. So all you need to do is to tell them exactly what my father and brothers want to hear, especially with the princess stuff. Got it?\" And the confused Gardeevoir simply said: \"Something they want to hear? Okay… I guess…\" But suddenly, the confused Gardevoir trips and falls on the ground, which causes Charlie to stop and look behind him. As he sees the confused Gardevoir on the ground, he said: \"What is it, now?\" And the confused Gardevoir replied: \"I'm sorry. But I'm not used to walking on two feet before…\" This confuses and annoys Charlie as he said: \"Huh? You have got to be joking. Now come on, we got to hurry home before it's too late.\" Charlie then lifts the confused Gardevoir back on her feet, before proceeding to drag the confused Gardevoir. And the confused Gardevoir felt embarrassed as she lets out an another neighing noise, which confuses and annoys Charlie even more.\n\n\nAfter much trouble, both Charlie and the confused Gardevoir finally made it back home, where they are greeted by Albert, Alex and Max. Albert then said: \"Ah… you have arrived, madam. I am honoured that you have arrived at our noble home.\" Charlie then looks over as the confused Gardevoir is panting like a horse, with really confuses him as Albert then said: \"So-\" And the confused Gardevoir quickly said: \"Oh. Whatever you say.\" Realizing that it could go wrong, Charlie quickly stepped in and said: \"Hey… Is there anything that I can do for you.\" And Alex said: \"No way. We did everything ourselves, while you were out there, fooling around with the people. In a way, you practically owe us for this.\" And Max then said: \"Yeah. And don't expect us to do your work again. Now hurry up and finishes prepping dinner for us and set the table for us.\" As Charlie sighs as he will have to deal with more work after dealing with a serious situation, Albert step to his side and said: \"Now then if you can please follow us, we would like to begin our supper.\" This catches the confused Gardevoir's attention as she said: \"Oh, um, sure.\" She then follows Albert and his sons inside as Albert then said: \"I figure that it would be more lovely if we can dine in the garden.\" As they enter the house, Charlie whispers to the confused Gardevoir: \"Just do what they say.\"\n\nAt the garden, after Charlie fills Albert in on the info that he wants to know as the family, excluding Charlie, sits at the table. As helps pour a cup of tea for the confused Gardevoir, Albert said: \"So tell me. Is it true that your name is Nicole?\" \"It is?\" The confused Gardevoir said, but after looking at Charlie, she then said: \"Oh. It is.\" Albert then said: \"Ah, that's good, them. I also heard that you were assigned to take care of the princess's room and how the princess tells you of her stories with her best friend. Is that also true?\" After quickly glancing over at Charlie, the confused Gardevoir then said: \"Why yes. I even heard tales of how they love to horse around for three years.\" \"Horse around? Really?\" Alex said as he starts to blush as well as Max as he said: \"You don't mean…\" As Charlie sighs as he brings the tea over to the two, the confused Gardevoir then said: \"W-Well… It just that... Um… Meih… The two love their Rapidashes…\" While this confuses the brothers, Albert starts to laugh as he said: \"Oh, I get it. It's a clever joke about the princess being equestrian. You are quite hilarious, miss.\" He then whispers to his sons: \"Quickly note that down.\" Alex then whispers to Max: \"You hear that, write it down quick.\" And Max grabs the book and a feather pen and whispered back: \"Right.\" As Max writes that down, Charlie sighs in relief. Though this catches Alex's attention as he said: \"Hey. Don't just stand there, hurry up with the dinner.\" And Max also said: \"Yeah. All of that work had made us very hungry.\" Charlie quickly replied: \"R-Right. Of course.\"\n\n\nIn the kitchen, Charlie is preparing the stew in the pot for his family and the confused Gardevoir. Although Charlie wishes that he could stay out a little while longer, just to make sure that the confused Gardevoir doesn't make them angry, he also knows that he'll have to serve them dinner at some point. As he continues to cook the stew, he notices that Zeus is looking concern and is about to run out, but Charlie quickly said: \"Hold on, Zeus. I know that you want to go out there and help her, but you could make my family mad and chase you out of the house. We'll just have to wait and hope that she doesn't make them angry…\" As Zeus lays down on the ground while giving off a whining sound, Charlie returns to the pot as he prays that things are going well for the confused Gardevoir. Meanwhile, in the park. The children are practicing their painting with Cinder doing some simple pose for them. And although their art is not that good, she knows that their hearts are in it and she is willing to help them out. But then, she has a realization as she said: \"Oh dear. I forgot to tell him that the spell runs out in an hour.\" As she tries to get up, one of the students said: \"Hey. Don't move.\" This causes Cinder to get back to her original position. [i]I do hope that things are going well for Charlie…[/i]\n\nBack in the garden, the family have been chatting and getting the information from the very confused Gardevoir as she starts to get very nervous from the questions.  Max then said: \"So tell me. I know that there is a lot of guys that try to win the princess's heart. But is there a type that she prefers?\" And the very nervous Gardevoir said: \"U-Um… The type she prefers… U-Um… B-Broum…\" As the two brothers look confused, Albert said: \"Ah. So she has a thing for a gentleman with brown hair. She sure has excellent taste. Wouldn't you agree, my sons?\" This signals Max to write that detail down as Alex then said: \"By the way. Does she have any pets? Maybe a Persian, or a Liepard?\" And the very nervous Gardevoir said: \"Oh. Um… Um… M-Mi-Miyeah.\" This causes the two brothers to smile at the very nervous Gardevoir and said: \"Y-Yeah… We also have a Mightyena as a pet…\" As Alex nervously laughs and Max writes it down, the very nervous Gardevoir said: \"Y-Yeah… She does?\" And Max then asks: \"Does she have a dish that she loves to eat? Maybe a lovely steak, or a good stew?\" And the very nervous Gardevior said: \"A… I… Ai ai aiya aiya ayia!\" And Max then said: \"I see… So the princess's favourite dish is the aiya…\" But as he writes that down, Max gets stumped as he whispers to Alex: \"Um… What is an aiya, Alex?\" And Alex whispers back: \"I don't know… Maybe it's a Pokemon dish that we haven't tried?\" And Max whispered back: \"I guess…\"  At this point, the very nervous Gardevoir is at her breaking point as she gets up from the table and makes a bunch of neighing noises, which alerts his family as Albert said: \"U-Um, miss Nicole. Is there something wrong?\" But at that point, the very nervous Gardevoir proceeds to trout away from the group as she rushes into the kitchen while the family looks at her with concern on their faces. \n\nIn the kitchen, while Charlie is busy taking care of the dining room, the very panicked Gardevoir rushes in and search around for a way out. She spots the window and tries to exit through it, but Cinder's spell has run out and the very panicked Gardevoir transformed back to a Mudsdale. When the family enters the kitchen to check up on what's wrong with the Gardevoir, they discovered a Mudsdale in the kitchen, causing the family to let out a scream and causing the Mudsdale to let out a neighing noise. While Charlie heard the scream, the family dived under the table as the Mudsdale makes a ruckus in the kitchen. \"Father! How did that Mudsdale get into our kitchen?!\" Alex said in a panic, while Max panicky said: \"Can you do something, father?!\" And Albert said: \"I don't know, I'm too confused to even think\" \"Pardon me for asking this, but what are you all doing under the table?\" Charlie asks as he enters the kitchen to try and find the source when he saw them under the table. But when the Mudsdale gets close to Charlie, he notices the Mudsdale and said: \"W-Wha…\" He then lets out a scream, which scares the Mudsdale as Charlie quickly hides under the same table as his family, while the Mudsdale continues to run a rampaged on the kitchen. The rampage is causing the plates and dishes to fall from the counter as well as the pot full of stew to fall from the fire stove. As they see the carnage, Charlie said: \"Oh no. The kitchen is becoming a mess…\" \"Charlie! Do something!\" Max said in a panic and Charlie said: \"But what can I do about?\" At that point, Albert notices a carrot and a pole on the ground from the destruction of the kitchen as Albert gets an idea and said: \"Oh, you'll find out soon.\"\n\n\nOnce Albert sees the Mudsdale stopping in its tracks, Albert proceeds to grab the pole and carrot and tie it on the pole. He then waves the carrot on the pole as he said: \"Here, Mudsdale. I got something for you.\" As the Mudsdale turns around and sees the carrot, Charlie got out from under the table just to see what's going on. But at that point, Albert grabs Charlie and shove the pole down Charlie's pants as Albert said: \"Good, the carrot has caught the attention. We'll leave the rest up to you.\" As Albert quickly ducks back under the table, Charlie was confused as he said: \"Huh? What do you-\" And when the Mudsdale spots Charlie with the pole behind him, Charlie starts to panic as he flees the kitchen and out of the house while the Mudsdale proceeds to chase after him. After a few minutes later, the family got out from under the table and look outside from the kitchen, before sighing with relief. Max then said: \"What happened to Nicole, father?\"  And Albert said: \"I don't know… But I did notice that she was acting weird when we were having that discussion. But for now, you two should go and study the notes we have from the maid, understand?\" And both brothers said: \"Yes father.\"\n\nBack at town, with the sun setting. Maria is walking down the street as she reflects on the events that happened yesterday as well as earlier. She can't help but feel sad when the boy hates her for playing around with him. [i]I don't know if I'll ever see him again… But if I do, I wish I could apologize to him…[/i]  \"Quick! Get out of the way!\" Said a yelling voice. She immediately recognizes the voice belonging to the boy as she turns around and saw the boy running down the street. Although she saw a  pole with a carrot tied to it behind the boy being odd, she nonetheless proceeds to run alongside the boy just to see what his situation is. Once she catches up to him, he notices Maria and said: \"Huh!? Why are you here!? And why did you run off from my parents!?\" This confuses Maria as she said: \"What are you talking about!?\" And the boy then said: \"Nevermind, just look behind you!\" And as Maria looks behind her, she immediately recognized what he's talking about as she sees a rampaging Mudsdale right behind him. Knowing the situation, she stops running alongside him as she stands there and waits until the Mudsdale gets close as she jumps on the Mudsdale. While she struggles to get a good grip on the Mudsdale, the boy stopped and turned around as he said: \"Hold on! Let me help you!\" But Maria said: \"Don't worry about me! Just keep running!\" And while it looks like he wants to help her, he nodded as he turns back around and continues to run. Maria, on the other hand, continues to struggle as she tries to get on the Mudsdale's back. But with a good shift on her waist, she manages to get on the Mudsdale's back and proceeded to pull on the back of the hair to make the Mudsdale stop on its tracks.\n\n\nThe boy turns around and sees the Mudsdale stopped in its tracks and Maria getting off of the Mudsdale. He was amazed over Maria helping someone like him and can't help but walk up to her and said: \"Are… Are you okay? Are you hurt?\" And Maria said: \"Don't worry about me. I'm-\" But before she can finish, the boy proceeds to hug Maria and said: \"I'm… I'm glad that nothing bad has happened to you.\" This causes her heart to skip a beat as she blushes and hugs the boy back. Nearby, Cinder watches the events unfold as she said: \"Oh dear, it looks like I was late to help him. But at least the two of them have finally patched things up.\" As the two continued to hug each other, the boy got back to his senses as he breaks the hug as Maria notices this. The boy then said: \"Sorry about that… I… I didn't know what came over me… I didn't mean to say those things...\" Maria then smiles as she said: \"Haven't you notice where we are?\" The boy looks confused as he looks around until they notice the statue where Maria first took him. It was in fact, a Virizion statue. And although the boy claims he didn't mean to say those words, Maria knows that what he said came from his heart and is the truth. This causes the boy to say: \"Oh. It's the statue that you told me about.\" And this convinces Maria as she said: \"I would like to offer you my apology…\" \n\nAs the boy looks at him with confusion, Maria said: \"I… I was only trying to have a little fun with you. But I have no right to lie to you like that… And you were right. I'm not a maid that lives in the castle or works in the princess's room. And my name is not Nicole… So in order to make it up to you, let me tell you my real name…\" Although the citizens know of her as Princess Maria, only a few know of her true name. This causes her to blush as she knew that she's doing the right thing as she then said: \"My true name is Maria Flower.\" This causes the boy to blush as he said: \"Maria Flowers… That's a beautiful name…\" The boy starts to smile as he said: \"You know… Your name is quite similar to Princess Maria.\" He then gets serious as he said: \"I hope that this isn't a lie. Because if this is a lie, then consider this our last moment together.\" Maria starts to blush as she said: \"I can assure you, that is my name.\" Then the boy crosses his arms and said: \"Right… Well, I'm not so certain. So to avoid any confusion with the princess, I'll shall call you Maria the Liar.\" While this shocks Maria, the boy proceeds to walk as he said: \"Now if you excuse me, I must get back home, Maria the Liar.\" As she sees the boy walks away from her as she worries that she did something wrong, the boy stops as he said: \"Oh, I almost forgot.\" The boy then turns around and said: \"My name is Charlie Lestorm. And I can assure you, that is no lie.\" \n\nThis causes Maria to smile as she finally learns his name as Charlie said: \"I'll see you around, Maria the Liar.\" As Charlie walks back home, Maria said: \"So that boy is called Charlie. That's a cute name. Though… I do have to wonder… Why does he have that pole and carrot on his back.\" Charlie then turns around and waves at Maria as he said: \"Goodbye!\" While Maria waves back at Charlie, having formed a newfound friendship between the two. Nearby, Cinder watches the two say their goodbyes as she knew that it was her time to leave as well. [i]It's good that these two have managed to become friends. And someday, Charlie will know that her new friend is the princess of the castle. But in the meantime, I hope that Charlie continues to dream of a wonderful dream.[/i]",

Hurry up with our breakfast!&quot; As it turns out, Albert and his sons are waiting impatiently for their breakfast to be served to them. Eventually, Charlie makes his way to the dining room with a tray full of food and a teapot as he said: &quot;Don&#039;t shout. I&#039;m coming.&quot; As he sets the tray on the table, Alex said: &quot;About time you showed up. I was starting to believe that you were trying to starve us the whole time. And having me wait for some food is putting me in a rather bad mood.&quot; Charlie then places the food next to Alex and Max as he said: &quot;I&#039;m sorry.&quot; He then places the basket full of bread on the table as Max then said: &quot;Yeah. Well, I&#039;m hungry. And when I&#039;m hungry, I lose some energy. And when I lose some energy, I get tired. And I need to keep my energy up.&quot; &quot;It looks like you been awfully tired a lot.&quot; This causes Max to stare at Alex and said: &quot;Huh?! And what&#039;s that supposed to mean?!&quot; And Alex simply replied: &quot;Oh, nothing. Maybe you should stop eating sweets or you&#039;ll get fat pretty quickly.&quot; This causes Max to get off of his seat, look at his brother with anger and said: &quot;You take that back, Alex!&quot; &quot;Or what?&quot; Alex said as he got up from his seat and stared at his brother. Realizing that it could get serious, Charlie said: &quot;You know, if you don&#039;t eat. Your food would get cold.&quot; But this simply got a response of both brothers by saying: &quot;Stay out of this!&quot;<br /><br />&quot;That&#039;s enough, you two!&quot; Albert said as he slams his fist on the table, causing the two brothers to look scared as they look at his father. Albert then said: &quot;You two boys have the table manners of barbarians. Now go sit back down and eat your food like a proper gentleman.&quot; This causes the two brothers to immediately sit back on their seats and said: &quot;Yes sir.&quot; They then proceed to eat their breakfast as Charlie places a couple of bowls, full of hot milk, near Jen and Ruby. Albert sees the two brothers eating as he then said: &quot;There. That&#039;s much better.&quot; Charlie then proceeds to stand up and said: &quot;If you guys don&#039;t mind. I would like to get going now.&quot; But as he takes a couple of steps towards the kitchen, Albert said: &quot;Hold it, Charlie.&quot; Curious, Charlie turns and looks at his father and said: &quot;Is there something else, father?&quot; And Albert simply replied: &quot;Yes. I wanted to know what you are exactly planning to do.&quot; Charlie then said: &quot;Oh. Well, you see. After I go and make myself some breakfast, I would go into town and restock our food supply from the market.&quot; But then, Albert said: &quot;That won&#039;t be happening. It seems that you have already forgotten about our earlier discussion and the promise that you have made last night.&quot;<br /><br />This shocks Charlie as Alex then said: &quot;Charlie would probably forget his own name if he gets the chance.&quot; And Max then said: &quot;Come on, don&#039;t you remember? You said that you would go out and find the maid that works in the princess&#039;s room and then you bring her over for supper.&quot; Upon hearing that, Charlie remembers the moment where he ran into the Gardevoir from the flower festival. And while Charlie believes that she lies about being a maid, he was confused as to why the others believed it. But even if it&#039;s true or not, it doesn&#039;t change the fact that he didn&#039;t even ask her for her name. So he said: &quot;W-Well&hellip; I-I remember&hellip; But&hellip; I can&#039;t&hellip;&quot; &quot;What did you say?!&quot; Albert said as he is getting angry. Feeling the tension, Charlie tries to speak, but Albert cuts him off by saying: &quot;Listen to me, boy. You will not get a single speck of crumb off the dirty streets until you go and find that maid. And if you don&#039;t want to starve on the streets, I suggest that you go quickly.&quot; But then Charlie tries to defend himself by saying: &quot;But&hellip; I don&#039;t even know her name&hellip;&quot; But Albert just said: &quot;You heard me. Not one crumb!&quot;<br /><br /><br />In the town of Esp&eacute;rer, the villagers are going on with their usual lives. And among the villagers going on with their usual lives, Charlie is walking down the pathway as he clenches his stomach from not getting his breakfast. But while that&#039;s terrible for Charlie, it&#039;s also quite troubling for him since he has to go and find the lying Gardevoir again. Oh&hellip; What a tight pickle I&#039;m in. Ever since I ran right into that Gardevoir, there has been nothing but trouble. But as he recalls the events from yesterday, he does feel a little bit guilty. Then again&hellip; What if she really is a maid from the castle&hellip; She could be telling me the truth and I wouldn&#039;t give her the time of day. Just as he is thinking about the situation that he is in, he hears his stomach growls loudly as it catches the attention of nearby villagers, putting Charlie in the center of attention. Feeling embarrassed, he starts laughing nervously as he walks backwards before quickly hides in one of the alleyways. Once he sees that the villagers stop looking at him, he proceeds to go and sit on the stairway, before saying: &quot;Oh&hellip; I&#039;m so hungry, I could faint. I&#039;ll never be able to find that girl and I won&#039;t be able to eat again.&quot;<br /><br />As he is feeling depressed, he heard a familiar bark nearby. When he looks at the source of the bark, he finds Zeus in the alleyway with him as Zeus is holding on to a basket with his mouth. Charlie then proceeds to grab the basket from Zeus&#039;s mouth and said: &quot;Zeus. What do you got in the basket, boy?&quot; Upon opening the basket, he discovers that there are four loaves of bread in the basket. It looks like Zeus manages to grab some bread from the kitchen and brought them to him. And although his father said that he cannot eat anything until he finds the maid, he knows that he&#039;ll more likely to faint if he doesn&#039;t eat anything soon. So he grabs one of the loaves of bread from the basket and said: &quot;Thanks, Zeus. Let&#039;s have a picnic together before we go and find the Gardevoir.&quot; Zeus lets out an excited bark as Charlie places the basket on the ground. The two then begin to eat their bread together.<br /><br /><br />Once they have their bread and gather their strength back, they proceed to begin their search. They start searching through the town&#039;s park as they look around. While they see a lot of noblemen and noblewomen in the park, they haven&#039;t spotted the Gardevoir that they&#039;re looking for. Just as they were about to give it up, Charlie notices a lady wearing similar clothing as the Gardevoir, as well as having green hair. This causes Charlie to say: &quot;Oh. There&#039;s the Gardevoir.&quot; Confident that she is the Gardevoir, Charlie runs up to her and places his hand on her shoulder and said: &quot;Hey, miss. I was hoping that-&quot; But just before he could finish, she turns around and quickly reveals to Charlie that she is not only the girl that she didn&#039;t met before but also, she&#039;s a human and not a Gardevoir. He quickly `lifts his hand as the disgruntled woman turns around and said: &quot;What&#039;s the big idea!? Don&#039;t go and grab on to some random lady and expect them to listen to you! You&#039;ve got to learn some manners if you want to talk to a lady!&quot; Charlie then quickly bows his head and said: &quot;I&#039;m truly sorry, miss. I didn&#039;t mean to cause you any trouble.&quot; The disgruntled woman then looks at him with confusion, before dismissing him as she walks away. Charlie then lifts his head and looks at Zeus with an embarrassed look on his face as he said: &quot;Heh heh&hellip; I must have found the wrong woman&hellip;&quot;<br /><br />They then continue their search as they find a statue of a well known general, riding on a Rapidash. Realizing an idea, the two proceed to get on the statue as they&#039;ll examine their surrounds and see if they can find the Gardevoir. However, for as much as they look from higher ground, they both could not find the Gardevoir that they are looking for. Realizing that they&#039;re not accomplishing anything, they got off of the statue and go look in a different location. In the market area, the two searches through the crowd. But then the crowd started to crowd upon the two. This causes the two to get split up, with Zeus getting left behind while Charlie gets pushed forward as he tries to reach for Zeus from the sea of unexpecting crowd. After managing to get away from the crowd at the marketplace, the two meet up as they continue their search for the Gardevoir.<br /><br />Unfortunately, even with the two searching through the whole town, they couldn&#039;t find the Gardevoir that they&#039;re looking for. Feeling defeated, both Charlie and Zeus sits near a shaded tree. Charlie then said: &quot;Oh&hellip; What are we going to do&hellip; We search the town from top to bottom and still we couldn&#039;t find her. If I don&#039;t hurry and find her before supper&hellip;&nbsp;&nbsp;Then I&#039;ll never be able to return home again&hellip; And I&#039;ll probably starve in the streets...&quot; Just as he was feeling depressed, he suddenly has a realization as he said: &quot;Unless&hellip;&quot; Just as Zeus looks at Charlie with confusion, they both soon look at the once place that they haven&#039;t searched yet. And that is the castle that houses the princess. This causes Charlie to stand up and said: &quot;Maybe&hellip; The Gardevoir was telling the truth when she said that she&#039;s the maid that works in the princess&#039;s room&hellip;&quot; And if that&#039;s the case&hellip; Then I&#039;ll have to go and apologize to her as well as make it up to her&hellip;<br /><br /><br />Meanwhile, back at the house. Albert, Alex and Max are busy setting up a table for when Charlie brings back the maid. Just as they lay out the sheet on the table, Max said: &quot;Father. I know that we&#039;re doing all of this work for the maid, but do you really believe that Charlie would bring back the maid?&quot; Albert then said: &quot;Of course, if he ever plans on eating here again. And should he not return here with the maid, then I&#039;ll go and deal with him.&quot; But then Max said: &quot;Well can he at least set the table up for us, before going off and finding that maid?&quot; And Alex then said: &quot;Yeah. Why should we do all of the heavy liftings, while Charlie goes off and have fun.&quot; But Albert simply said: &quot;That&#039;s enough, you two. The only reason why we&#039;re going through all of this, is that we can ask that maid topics over what type of boys does the princess likes, remember?&quot; And the two brothers sigh as he said: &quot;We remember&hellip;&quot;<br /><br />Back over at the castle. Charlie made it close to the castle walls when he was stopped by the castle&#039;s guards from the top of the walls. After Charlie explains the situation that he&#039;s in as well as give the guards the info about the maid Gardevoir that he&#039;s looking for, one of the guards proceeds to go to the side of the tower while the other guard stands guard as he stares at Charlie. After a while, one of the guards proceeds to walk up to Charlie, as Charlie asked: &quot;Did you find her, sir?&quot; But the guard simply replied: &quot;I&#039;m sorry. But we don&#039;t have anybody that matches your description. But basically, only Madam Nicole the Gothitelle is allowed to decide which maid gets to clean the princess&#039;s room.&quot; Feeling depressed from hearing the guard&#039;s news, Charlie said: &quot;I see&hellip; Sorry to have wasted your time.&quot; Charlie then bows his head as both Charlie and Zeus leaves the castle walls, while the guard goes back inside.<br /><br /><br />As they walk back home, Charlie said: &quot;I should&#039;ve known that Gardevoir wasn&#039;t the maid that works at the princess&#039;s room. She&#039;s nothing more than a deceitful liar.&quot; It&#039;s one thing to be friendly with everybody, it&#039;s another thing to deal with someone who lies to him and tries to take advantage of him. He wasn&#039;t sure what was the Gardevoir&#039;s plan is by lying to him, but he knows that he won&#039;t be seeing her again. But in an effort to make Charlie happy, Zeus jumps onto Charlie&#039;s back and starts rubbing the side of his neck. This causes Charlie to stop and laugh as he said: &quot;H-Hey... Cut it out, Zeus.&quot; After Zeus got off of Charlie&#039;s shoulders, Charlie turns around said: &quot;Where you excited when we got close to the castle that has the princess?&quot; And after Zeus lets out an excited bark, Charlie then said: &quot;Yeah&hellip; Me too...:&quot; He then proceeds to stand up and fantasize about the princess as he then said: &quot;Think about it, Zeus&hellip; With the princess&#039;s beautiful skin, her graceful appearance, her kind voice and her wonderful sense of smile. If I can give my life to protect her, I will do it in a heartbeat.&quot; Charlie starts to get embarrassed as he said: &quot;Man&hellip; I don&#039;t know what came over me. But I need to stay calm.&quot; Charlie then tries to stay calm. Unfortunately, Charlie starts to get flustered again as he starts imagining about the princess again. Charlie then tries to control himself by slapping his cheeks and said: &quot;What is wrong with me. Why do I keep having these fantasies.&quot; Just as Charlie tries to get himself under control, he hears a woman laughing at him. Not sure where it&#039;s coming from, Charlie proceeds to look around his surroundings, only to see some leaves falling from the trees. <br /><br />Upon looking upon where the leaves have fallen, he couldn&#039;t believe his eyes. But as fate and luck would have it, Charlie has managed to find the Gardevoir who lied about being a maid. And said Gardevoir is currently lying on her side on the branch while holding onto a leaf in her mouth as Charlie said: &quot;What the? What are you doing up there?&quot; And the Gardevoir simply replied: &quot;Well, to tell you the truth. I came over here to get some peace and quiet. But then you showed up and pretty much made me an audience of your one-man comedy act.&quot; As the Gardevoir proceeds to sit up and jump off of the tree branch, Charlie said: &quot;Well if you have any manners, you would have let me know right away, instead of spying on people.&quot; After the Gardevoir lands on the ground, she said: &quot;Before you go on about your dream princess or starting your lesson on manners, didn&#039;t you say that you were looking for me?&quot; While technically, he is looking for her, she is known to lie to him on multiple occasions. So he said: &quot;No, you&#039;re mistaken. I never said such a thing.&quot; And the Gardevoir simply asked: &quot;Oh? Then what were you doing at the castle?&quot; This doesn&#039;t help Charlie&#039;s situation at all as he mumbles: &quot;O-Oh&hellip; Y-You see&hellip; I&hellip; I went to the castle, because&hellip;&quot; As he remains silent, the Gardevoir walked closer to him and said: &quot;Come on. You can tell me, you came to the castle to see me.&quot; This flusters Charlie as he quickly said: &quot;No, that&#039;s not true! I mean&hellip; Yes, I did went to the castle&hellip; But it wasn&#039;t to see you. It&#039;s something&hellip; Important&hellip;&quot; Charlie then remains silent as the Gardevoir stares at him.<br /><br />In the town. Cinder is getting her art supplies ready for her lessons with the kids near the forest. And although she was supposed to be watching over Charlie, the kids did ask her to teach them on painting and she couldn&#039;t say no. As she finishes up with her art supplies, she heard a voice saying: &quot;Where are you taking me, miss. Let me go.&quot; She immediately recognizes the voice belonging to Charlie as she looks at her side and saw a Gardevoir pulling Charlie down the pathway as she said: &quot;Just hang tight. I&#039;m taking you over to the statue of honesty.&quot; &quot;The statue of honesty?&quot; Charlie said as Cinder gets up and follows the two. At the fountain, the Gardevoir dragged Charlie to the fountain as she then said: &quot;Here we are, the statue of honesty.&quot; Charlie then looks at the statue and sees an older gentleman with a book and torch and riding on a Virizion. The Gardevoir then said: &quot;Legends has it that for those that stand in front of the statue, the truth shall always come out.&quot; As Charlie asks: &quot;Okay&hellip; But why did you bring me here?&quot; The Gardevoir then turns around and said: &quot;You said you went to the castle, but you claim that you didn&#039;t came to see me. I find that very hard to believe. Now it&#039;s time for you to tell me the truth.&quot; <br /><br /><br />But Charlie dismisses her words by saying: &quot;Pardon me for saying this. But how can I tell you the truth when you keep lying to me. You even lied to me about being a maid that works in the princess&#039;s room.&quot; But the Gardevoir said: &quot;What are you talking about? It is true.&quot; And Charlie then said: &quot;If that&#039;s the case, then you wouldn&#039;t mind telling me your name then.&quot; &quot;You want to know my name?&quot; Gardevoir asked as Charlie&#039;s patient is wearing thin. But if the Gardevoir does admit that she was lying to him and was just messing with him for fun, then maybe he would forgive her&hellip; And the Gardevoir simply responded with: &quot;Very well. My name is Nicole.&quot; At that point, he has had enough with her as Charlie said: &quot;You&#039;re not being funny. You are clearly no maid. The guard at the castle has told me that no one has even heard of you. And while the one that decides who gets to clean the princess&#039;s room is called Nicole, she is a Gothitelle, not a Gardevoir like you.&quot; As the Gardevoir looks confused as she looks at herself, Charlie simply turns around and said: &quot;So goodbye.&quot; And he proceeds to walk away angrily as Zeus looks worried as he follows Charlie. And while that&#039;s going on, Gardevoir quickly said: &quot;No, please wait-&quot; But she just sees Charlie walking away as she felt defeated. Nearby, Cinder watches the whole event unfold as she said: &quot;I wouldn&#039;t have imagined that it would be so hard for these two to get along.<br /><br />At the bridge, Charlie is returning home with the news about the lies the Gardevoir has made as well as the guard&#039;s info about the maid. But as he is about to cross the bridge, he felt a tug on his leg. When he looks behind him, he saw that Zeus is pulling on his pants while giving off a whining voice. Concern, Charlie said: &quot;What&#039;s wrong, boy? Are you worried about that Gardevoir?&quot; After Zeus let Charlie go and continues with his whining voice, Charlie said: &quot;Look, Zeus&hellip; You shouldn&#039;t believe what she said. I mean&hellip; At first, I thought that she was a rather nice girl and that we could be great friends&hellip; But how can I be friends with a liar.&quot; He then proceeds to turn back around and walk back home as he said: &quot;Now I need to go and let my father know&hellip;&quot; He then immediately stopped as he said: &quot;Oh no&hellip; My father&hellip;&quot; <em>I forgot that my father believes that the Gardevoir is the maid&hellip; If I tell him that she&#039;s not, he won&#039;t believe me&hellip; Or better yet, I&#039;ll get punished regardless if I told him the truth or not&hellip; I was still upset over that Gardevoir lying to me that I completely forgot about my father&#039;s request...</em> Charlie then turns around again and said: &quot;If we can hurry, we can find that Gardevoir and hopefully explain our situation to her. Come on.&quot; As Zeus let out a confident bark as he gets excited, the two proceed to run back to town. Nearby, Cinder heard his conversation with Zeus as she said: &quot;Oh, what am I going to do? I wish I could go and help him, but I&#039;m so busy and I&#039;m late as it is.&quot;<br /><br /><br />Both Charlie and Zeus rushes over to the Virizion fountain, where they last saw Gardevoir, in a hope that she would still be around. But unfortunately for them, she is nowhere to be found. This worries the two as they resume their search through the town. But for as much as they search through the town, they could not find a single trace of that Gardevoir. After scouring through the town, both Charlie and Zeus ends up in a nearby Mudsdale farm as Zeus helps Charlie by pumping the water while Charlie cleans his face. Once that&#039;s done, he proceeds to sit by the wall on the house as a sign of defeat. While he sits there, Cinder walks on the grass way, near the fence, when she spots Charlie as he said: &quot;What am I going to do&hellip; We search practically everywhere and we couldn&#039;t find her&hellip; I feel like I ruined my chances with her&hellip; I don&#039;t know what to do at this point&hellip;&quot; As Charlie glomps his head down, Cinder realizes that he truly needs help as she looks around. She then gets an idea as she spots a female Mudsdale in the field as she lets out her magic wand and said: &quot;Poor Charlie. He feels like he lost his chance when she lies to him. But I&#039;ll give him hope by using a look-alike that would soon fool his father.&quot; And with a flick of her wrist, a spell is cast as dust particles fly in the air and landed on the female Mudsdale, causing it to transform into a female Gardevoir. This causes said Mudsdale to look confused, while the other Mudsdale runs off in a panic.<br /><br />Charlie hears the sound of neighing Mudsdales nearby as he looks at the source of the sounds. Upon doing that, he sees the Gardevoir looking confused. But upon closer inspection, he saw that it&#039;s the same Gardevoir from the fountain. This causes Charlie to get up and said: &quot;Oh! There she is!&quot; But then he saw a farmer running up to the Gardevoir with a pitchfork as Charlie realized that he needs to save her. But what he doesn&#039;t know is that the Gardevoir he saw is actually the female Mudsdale. The farmer goes up to the Gardevoir and said: &quot;Hey! What are you doing in the fields, lady?&quot; The confused Gardevoir looks at the farmer and said: &quot;What are you talking about? Isn&#039;t this my home?&quot; She then let out a neighing noise as she shakes her head, which confuses the farmer. But then, Charlie managed to get on the fence and hugs the Gardevoir and said: &quot;Sorry about that, mister. She has a bit of a memory loss. I&#039;ve been looking all over for her since she last slipped by. I do hope that you can forgive her.&quot; As the confused Gardevoir said: &quot;Huh? What are you-&quot; Charlie said: &quot;Come on, you. Let&#039;s get you back to the doctor.&quot; Charlie then proceeds to drag her over the fence and down the pathway as the farmer looks confused. Nearby, Cinder said: &quot;There we go. She does look like her.&quot; But then she remembers something as she said: &quot;Oh dear. I almost forgot. It&#039;s almost time for the children&#039;s painting lesson.&quot; Cinder then proceeds to head off to go teach.<br /><br />Back at the town, Charlie is dragging the really confused Gardevoir through the streets as he said: &quot;Okay, miss. For as much as I don&#039;t trust you with your lies, I do need your help.&quot; And the confused Gardevori asks: &quot;Huh? What are you talking about?&quot; And Charlie replied: &quot;I don&#039;t know what you did, but you managed to convince my father that you&#039;re a maid that works in the princess&#039;s room. So all you need to do is to tell them exactly what my father and brothers want to hear, especially with the princess stuff. Got it?&quot; And the confused Gardeevoir simply said: &quot;Something they want to hear? Okay&hellip; I guess&hellip;&quot; But suddenly, the confused Gardevoir trips and falls on the ground, which causes Charlie to stop and look behind him. As he sees the confused Gardevoir on the ground, he said: &quot;What is it, now?&quot; And the confused Gardevoir replied: &quot;I&#039;m sorry. But I&#039;m not used to walking on two feet before&hellip;&quot; This confuses and annoys Charlie as he said: &quot;Huh? You have got to be joking. Now come on, we got to hurry home before it&#039;s too late.&quot; Charlie then lifts the confused Gardevoir back on her feet, before proceeding to drag the confused Gardevoir. And the confused Gardevoir felt embarrassed as she lets out an another neighing noise, which confuses and annoys Charlie even more.<br /><br /><br />After much trouble, both Charlie and the confused Gardevoir finally made it back home, where they are greeted by Albert, Alex and Max. Albert then said: &quot;Ah&hellip; you have arrived, madam. I am honoured that you have arrived at our noble home.&quot; Charlie then looks over as the confused Gardevoir is panting like a horse, with really confuses him as Albert then said: &quot;So-&quot; And the confused Gardevoir quickly said: &quot;Oh. Whatever you say.&quot; Realizing that it could go wrong, Charlie quickly stepped in and said: &quot;Hey&hellip; Is there anything that I can do for you.&quot; And Alex said: &quot;No way. We did everything ourselves, while you were out there, fooling around with the people. In a way, you practically owe us for this.&quot; And Max then said: &quot;Yeah. And don&#039;t expect us to do your work again. Now hurry up and finishes prepping dinner for us and set the table for us.&quot; As Charlie sighs as he will have to deal with more work after dealing with a serious situation, Albert step to his side and said: &quot;Now then if you can please follow us, we would like to begin our supper.&quot; This catches the confused Gardevoir&#039;s attention as she said: &quot;Oh, um, sure.&quot; She then follows Albert and his sons inside as Albert then said: &quot;I figure that it would be more lovely if we can dine in the garden.&quot; As they enter the house, Charlie whispers to the confused Gardevoir: &quot;Just do what they say.&quot;<br /><br />At the garden, after Charlie fills Albert in on the info that he wants to know as the family, excluding Charlie, sits at the table. As helps pour a cup of tea for the confused Gardevoir, Albert said: &quot;So tell me. Is it true that your name is Nicole?&quot; &quot;It is?&quot; The confused Gardevoir said, but after looking at Charlie, she then said: &quot;Oh. It is.&quot; Albert then said: &quot;Ah, that&#039;s good, them. I also heard that you were assigned to take care of the princess&#039;s room and how the princess tells you of her stories with her best friend. Is that also true?&quot; After quickly glancing over at Charlie, the confused Gardevoir then said: &quot;Why yes. I even heard tales of how they love to horse around for three years.&quot; &quot;Horse around? Really?&quot; Alex said as he starts to blush as well as Max as he said: &quot;You don&#039;t mean&hellip;&quot; As Charlie sighs as he brings the tea over to the two, the confused Gardevoir then said: &quot;W-Well&hellip; It just that... Um&hellip; Meih&hellip; The two love their Rapidashes&hellip;&quot; While this confuses the brothers, Albert starts to laugh as he said: &quot;Oh, I get it. It&#039;s a clever joke about the princess being equestrian. You are quite hilarious, miss.&quot; He then whispers to his sons: &quot;Quickly note that down.&quot; Alex then whispers to Max: &quot;You hear that, write it down quick.&quot; And Max grabs the book and a feather pen and whispered back: &quot;Right.&quot; As Max writes that down, Charlie sighs in relief. Though this catches Alex&#039;s attention as he said: &quot;Hey. Don&#039;t just stand there, hurry up with the dinner.&quot; And Max also said: &quot;Yeah. All of that work had made us very hungry.&quot; Charlie quickly replied: &quot;R-Right. Of course.&quot;<br /><br /><br />In the kitchen, Charlie is preparing the stew in the pot for his family and the confused Gardevoir. Although Charlie wishes that he could stay out a little while longer, just to make sure that the confused Gardevoir doesn&#039;t make them angry, he also knows that he&#039;ll have to serve them dinner at some point. As he continues to cook the stew, he notices that Zeus is looking concern and is about to run out, but Charlie quickly said: &quot;Hold on, Zeus. I know that you want to go out there and help her, but you could make my family mad and chase you out of the house. We&#039;ll just have to wait and hope that she doesn&#039;t make them angry&hellip;&quot; As Zeus lays down on the ground while giving off a whining sound, Charlie returns to the pot as he prays that things are going well for the confused Gardevoir. Meanwhile, in the park. The children are practicing their painting with Cinder doing some simple pose for them. And although their art is not that good, she knows that their hearts are in it and she is willing to help them out. But then, she has a realization as she said: &quot;Oh dear. I forgot to tell him that the spell runs out in an hour.&quot; As she tries to get up, one of the students said: &quot;Hey. Don&#039;t move.&quot; This causes Cinder to get back to her original position. <em>I do hope that things are going well for Charlie&hellip;</em><br /><br />Back in the garden, the family have been chatting and getting the information from the very confused Gardevoir as she starts to get very nervous from the questions.&nbsp;&nbsp;Max then said: &quot;So tell me. I know that there is a lot of guys that try to win the princess&#039;s heart. But is there a type that she prefers?&quot; And the very nervous Gardevoir said: &quot;U-Um&hellip; The type she prefers&hellip; U-Um&hellip; B-Broum&hellip;&quot; As the two brothers look confused, Albert said: &quot;Ah. So she has a thing for a gentleman with brown hair. She sure has excellent taste. Wouldn&#039;t you agree, my sons?&quot; This signals Max to write that detail down as Alex then said: &quot;By the way. Does she have any pets? Maybe a Persian, or a Liepard?&quot; And the very nervous Gardevoir said: &quot;Oh. Um&hellip; Um&hellip; M-Mi-Miyeah.&quot; This causes the two brothers to smile at the very nervous Gardevoir and said: &quot;Y-Yeah&hellip; We also have a Mightyena as a pet&hellip;&quot; As Alex nervously laughs and Max writes it down, the very nervous Gardevoir said: &quot;Y-Yeah&hellip; She does?&quot; And Max then asks: &quot;Does she have a dish that she loves to eat? Maybe a lovely steak, or a good stew?&quot; And the very nervous Gardevior said: &quot;A&hellip; I&hellip; Ai ai aiya aiya ayia!&quot; And Max then said: &quot;I see&hellip; So the princess&#039;s favourite dish is the aiya&hellip;&quot; But as he writes that down, Max gets stumped as he whispers to Alex: &quot;Um&hellip; What is an aiya, Alex?&quot; And Alex whispers back: &quot;I don&#039;t know&hellip; Maybe it&#039;s a Pokemon dish that we haven&#039;t tried?&quot; And Max whispered back: &quot;I guess&hellip;&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;At this point, the very nervous Gardevoir is at her breaking point as she gets up from the table and makes a bunch of neighing noises, which alerts his family as Albert said: &quot;U-Um, miss Nicole. Is there something wrong?&quot; But at that point, the very nervous Gardevoir proceeds to trout away from the group as she rushes into the kitchen while the family looks at her with concern on their faces. <br /><br />In the kitchen, while Charlie is busy taking care of the dining room, the very panicked Gardevoir rushes in and search around for a way out. She spots the window and tries to exit through it, but Cinder&#039;s spell has run out and the very panicked Gardevoir transformed back to a Mudsdale. When the family enters the kitchen to check up on what&#039;s wrong with the Gardevoir, they discovered a Mudsdale in the kitchen, causing the family to let out a scream and causing the Mudsdale to let out a neighing noise. While Charlie heard the scream, the family dived under the table as the Mudsdale makes a ruckus in the kitchen. &quot;Father! How did that Mudsdale get into our kitchen?!&quot; Alex said in a panic, while Max panicky said: &quot;Can you do something, father?!&quot; And Albert said: &quot;I don&#039;t know, I&#039;m too confused to even think&quot; &quot;Pardon me for asking this, but what are you all doing under the table?&quot; Charlie asks as he enters the kitchen to try and find the source when he saw them under the table. But when the Mudsdale gets close to Charlie, he notices the Mudsdale and said: &quot;W-Wha&hellip;&quot; He then lets out a scream, which scares the Mudsdale as Charlie quickly hides under the same table as his family, while the Mudsdale continues to run a rampaged on the kitchen. The rampage is causing the plates and dishes to fall from the counter as well as the pot full of stew to fall from the fire stove. As they see the carnage, Charlie said: &quot;Oh no. The kitchen is becoming a mess&hellip;&quot; &quot;Charlie! Do something!&quot; Max said in a panic and Charlie said: &quot;But what can I do about?&quot; At that point, Albert notices a carrot and a pole on the ground from the destruction of the kitchen as Albert gets an idea and said: &quot;Oh, you&#039;ll find out soon.&quot;<br /><br /><br />Once Albert sees the Mudsdale stopping in its tracks, Albert proceeds to grab the pole and carrot and tie it on the pole. He then waves the carrot on the pole as he said: &quot;Here, Mudsdale. I got something for you.&quot; As the Mudsdale turns around and sees the carrot, Charlie got out from under the table just to see what&#039;s going on. But at that point, Albert grabs Charlie and shove the pole down Charlie&#039;s pants as Albert said: &quot;Good, the carrot has caught the attention. We&#039;ll leave the rest up to you.&quot; As Albert quickly ducks back under the table, Charlie was confused as he said: &quot;Huh? What do you-&quot; And when the Mudsdale spots Charlie with the pole behind him, Charlie starts to panic as he flees the kitchen and out of the house while the Mudsdale proceeds to chase after him. After a few minutes later, the family got out from under the table and look outside from the kitchen, before sighing with relief. Max then said: &quot;What happened to Nicole, father?&quot;&nbsp;&nbsp;And Albert said: &quot;I don&#039;t know&hellip; But I did notice that she was acting weird when we were having that discussion. But for now, you two should go and study the notes we have from the maid, understand?&quot; And both brothers said: &quot;Yes father.&quot;<br /><br />Back at town, with the sun setting. Maria is walking down the street as she reflects on the events that happened yesterday as well as earlier. She can&#039;t help but feel sad when the boy hates her for playing around with him. <em>I don&#039;t know if I&#039;ll ever see him again&hellip; But if I do, I wish I could apologize to him&hellip;</em>&nbsp;&nbsp;&quot;Quick! Get out of the way!&quot; Said a yelling voice. She immediately recognizes the voice belonging to the boy as she turns around and saw the boy running down the street. Although she saw a&nbsp;&nbsp;pole with a carrot tied to it behind the boy being odd, she nonetheless proceeds to run alongside the boy just to see what his situation is. Once she catches up to him, he notices Maria and said: &quot;Huh!? Why are you here!? And why did you run off from my parents!?&quot; This confuses Maria as she said: &quot;What are you talking about!?&quot; And the boy then said: &quot;Nevermind, just look behind you!&quot; And as Maria looks behind her, she immediately recognized what he&#039;s talking about as she sees a rampaging Mudsdale right behind him. Knowing the situation, she stops running alongside him as she stands there and waits until the Mudsdale gets close as she jumps on the Mudsdale. While she struggles to get a good grip on the Mudsdale, the boy stopped and turned around as he said: &quot;Hold on! Let me help you!&quot; But Maria said: &quot;Don&#039;t worry about me! Just keep running!&quot; And while it looks like he wants to help her, he nodded as he turns back around and continues to run. Maria, on the other hand, continues to struggle as she tries to get on the Mudsdale&#039;s back. But with a good shift on her waist, she manages to get on the Mudsdale&#039;s back and proceeded to pull on the back of the hair to make the Mudsdale stop on its tracks.<br /><br /><br />The boy turns around and sees the Mudsdale stopped in its tracks and Maria getting off of the Mudsdale. He was amazed over Maria helping someone like him and can&#039;t help but walk up to her and said: &quot;Are&hellip; Are you okay? Are you hurt?&quot; And Maria said: &quot;Don&#039;t worry about me. I&#039;m-&quot; But before she can finish, the boy proceeds to hug Maria and said: &quot;I&#039;m&hellip; I&#039;m glad that nothing bad has happened to you.&quot; This causes her heart to skip a beat as she blushes and hugs the boy back. Nearby, Cinder watches the events unfold as she said: &quot;Oh dear, it looks like I was late to help him. But at least the two of them have finally patched things up.&quot; As the two continued to hug each other, the boy got back to his senses as he breaks the hug as Maria notices this. The boy then said: &quot;Sorry about that&hellip; I&hellip; I didn&#039;t know what came over me&hellip; I didn&#039;t mean to say those things...&quot; Maria then smiles as she said: &quot;Haven&#039;t you notice where we are?&quot; The boy looks confused as he looks around until they notice the statue where Maria first took him. It was in fact, a Virizion statue. And although the boy claims he didn&#039;t mean to say those words, Maria knows that what he said came from his heart and is the truth. This causes the boy to say: &quot;Oh. It&#039;s the statue that you told me about.&quot; And this convinces Maria as she said: &quot;I would like to offer you my apology&hellip;&quot; <br /><br />As the boy looks at him with confusion, Maria said: &quot;I&hellip; I was only trying to have a little fun with you. But I have no right to lie to you like that&hellip; And you were right. I&#039;m not a maid that lives in the castle or works in the princess&#039;s room. And my name is not Nicole&hellip; So in order to make it up to you, let me tell you my real name&hellip;&quot; Although the citizens know of her as Princess Maria, only a few know of her true name. This causes her to blush as she knew that she&#039;s doing the right thing as she then said: &quot;My true name is Maria Flower.&quot; This causes the boy to blush as he said: &quot;Maria Flowers&hellip; That&#039;s a beautiful name&hellip;&quot; The boy starts to smile as he said: &quot;You know&hellip; Your name is quite similar to Princess Maria.&quot; He then gets serious as he said: &quot;I hope that this isn&#039;t a lie. Because if this is a lie, then consider this our last moment together.&quot; Maria starts to blush as she said: &quot;I can assure you, that is my name.&quot; Then the boy crosses his arms and said: &quot;Right&hellip; Well, I&#039;m not so certain. So to avoid any confusion with the princess, I&#039;ll shall call you Maria the Liar.&quot; While this shocks Maria, the boy proceeds to walk as he said: &quot;Now if you excuse me, I must get back home, Maria the Liar.&quot; As she sees the boy walks away from her as she worries that she did something wrong, the boy stops as he said: &quot;Oh, I almost forgot.&quot; The boy then turns around and said: &quot;My name is Charlie Lestorm. And I can assure you, that is no lie.&quot; <br /><br />This causes Maria to smile as she finally learns his name as Charlie said: &quot;I&#039;ll see you around, Maria the Liar.&quot; As Charlie walks back home, Maria said: &quot;So that boy is called Charlie. That&#039;s a cute name. Though&hellip; I do have to wonder&hellip; Why does he have that pole and carrot on his back.&quot; Charlie then turns around and waves at Maria as he said: &quot;Goodbye!&quot; While Maria waves back at Charlie, having formed a newfound friendship between the two. Nearby, Cinder watches the two say their goodbyes as she knew that it was her time to leave as well. <em>It&#039;s good that these two have managed to become friends. And someday, Charlie will know that her new friend is the princess of the castle. But in the meantime, I hope that Charlie continues to dream of a wonderful dream.</em></span>",
