Sly knew how to sweep Anna off her feet , he had a plan . The last time they fought he got for her a puppy and that melted her heart and she kissed that day. This time he was holding a cute ,white rabbit and this rabbit is going to make Anna melt his arms and all the anger and pain they have been going through will be forgotten at last. " This time no one can stand in the way of his happiness with Anna." So he went off to the castle carrying the bunny rabbit in one hand and said, " Please little rabbit do your magic on Anna I am counting on you."
In the castle Anna was getting ready before Author came over. She had to admit she was beginning to like him, but it was not the great love she has for Sly. Anna was so confused she thought she knew Sly so well but his attitude towards Margaret had her puzzled ," Why didn't he trust her ? Why was he saying these horrible things about her?' There was a knock on the door she went to open it and it was Margaret. Anna hugged her, " Margaret I am so glad you are here , I was just thinking about you."
Margaret came in and said, " I have been so worried about you Anna ,I don't mean to intrude but I kind of peeked through my window and saw how you ignored Sly yesterday .Are you two ok? I hope it is nothing serious. " Anna didn't want her to come in between her problems with Sly so she said, " Oh it's nothing to worry about Margaret it is just Sly and I are seeing things differently these days ."She paused and thought about confronting Margaret with the truth and asked, " Margaret may I ask a question and you promise me you will tell me the truth." Margaret was surprised at Anna being so straightforward and nodded," Sure Anna what is going on?" Anna asked her without hesitation, " Is there something going on with you and Sly but he would tell me what it is?" Margaret sneakily tried to hide her smile and lied through her teeth, "Oh Anna I am so embarrassed to tell you this, but I think you deserve to know the truth, Sly confessed something to me."Anna seemed confused, " What was it ?"She asked. Margaret lied to Anna, " He confided in me that he loved you but was attracted to me and that made him confused about his feelings towards you."
Anna was startled by Margaret's confession , " Why would he say anything to me?" Margaret argued, " Anna he is a man ,maybe we wanted to keep the fields open to court both of us, but I told him I promise you I told him I would not do anything to hurt you." Margaret began to sob continuously, Anna came over and comforted her, " Why didn't you tell me about any of this sooner?", She dried her tears and said, " He also said if I told you , he would deny it and make me look like a lier." Anna was appalled by Margaret's confession. Anna hugged her and tried to ease her suffering, " Don't worry Margaret I will see that he is punished for his actions." Margaret got frightened, " Please don't tell him that I told you." Anna replied, " Don't worry I will, I am just going to break it off with him forever." A knock on the door interrupted them, it was Mona, she said , " Princess Anna , I am sorry to disturb you but Sly is here to see you." Anna told Margaret , " Stay here, I will be back ."
She went to comfort Sly, she was so angry at him he was outside waiting for her holding a white rabbit in his hand and said " Surprise my love I got this rabbit and guess what I stopped myself from hunting him." Sly was trying to make Anna smile ,but the truth was she seemed angrier than ever." What is wrong Anna, you don't seem like yourself?" Anna raised her voice and said, " Why did you come hear Sly, did you come here to apologize to Margaret?" Sly got confused, " Why would I apologize to Margaret ? I came to see you and surprise you with this white rabbit." He held the rabbit closer to her. Anna said, " Well I am not in the mood . I am actually busy today, so if you don't mind please leave." Sly noticed that she was dressed to go out. He heard some horse strolling behind him and turned around and saw two white horses and Author was riding on one of them , not only that he was carrying a large and fancy bouquet of flowers that seemed expensive. Author jumped off his horse and gave the flowers to Anna and asked her, " Oh princess Anna, would you do me the honor of riding on this horse alone beside mine?" Anna looked at Sly angrily then paid her attention to the Author and replied to his question. " I would be my honor Prince Author to accompany you." Both Author and Anna rode off on the horses and left Sly standing there holding the rabbit, he yelled to Anna, " Anna wait let us talk about what just happened. Please!" It was too late both Author and Anna were long gone.
"Oh poor Sly did the princess leave you for someone else?" Margaret, who appeared from nowhere, sarcastically told Sly. He looked at her angrily and said," You must have told Anna some lie about me to make her feel this way, but it is not over Margaret. I am going to show Anna proof that you are not what you seem to be." He took off. Sly thought to himself he had to find some proof that Margaret isn't who she claims to be or he will blow his chances with Anna forever.
Anna and Author were riding horses together in the middle of the forest and then Author got the idea of having a horse race together. Anna had so much fun and Author being such a gentleman let her win the race . The horses stopped to drink next to the lake after all the riding they got thirsty and Author and Anna hopped off their horses and sat next to each other next to a tree. Author sighed, " Oh Anna this is the good life away from the duties and obligations towards the castle." Anna smiled and said, " That is exactly how I feel sometimes , to go far away from the castle where no-one can find you." Author asked Anna, " Have you ever ran away Anna? " Anna laughed, " Yes I have , I escaped from my castle for a few weeks before someone who is a friend of father's found me and took me back to the castle." Author was surprised, " My you're a fearless woman." Anna remembered then how she was afraid when those robbers came and almost attacked her, "Actually Author I was afraid at times." Author listened to Anna's voice it was full of sadness, " You seem sad Anna , does it have to do with the man I saw you with. Would you like to talk about him?" Anna smiled and stood up." No actually I would like to forget about him. Instead let us do something adventurous." Author asked her, " What do you have in mind?"
Anna looked at a tree branch and remembered something. She remembered the time when he made for her an arrow out of a stick and then he taught her how to aim in the middle of a tree. So she got two sticks and gave one to Author, " What are we going to do with this ?" She replied, " You wait and see ." She drew a circle in the middle of a tree branch and threw the arrow through the middle , Author clapped for her and cheered, " Bravo ! It seems that you are good at this." She nodded, " Now your turn to give it a try." They kept on taking turns and having fun and then they also picked up some apples from the trees for snacks and they laid down on the ground forgetting about their troubles and worries and having fun.
