It was the night before the wedding, Anna had lots of things to do. She was in an emotional roller coaster , She cried with her sister by her side, " Please Margaret please ,would you help organize the wedding plans."Margaret toned her sister down, " Anna you don't even have to ask ,I will go downstairs and organize everything will you just rest and relax their is nothing for you to worry about." Anna thanked her sister, " Oh thank you so much sissy , and I will take your advice and rest in the bed." Anna laid down on top of her comfortable pillow and closed her eyes ,glad that her sister was going to help. She began to dream and in her dream she saw Sly wearing a tuxedo looking so handsome. She also did not look that bad herself .She was wearing a beautiful golden gown matching it she was wearing some white gloves ,she saw Sly standing their next to a carriage which was pulled by two white stunning horse, she admired Sly and thought to herself he never looked more handsome than he was right now. He took her hand and said, " Your carriage awaits my lady." He took her in side the carriage, and she asked, " Where are you taking?" Sly answered, " Oh Anna my love the day has finally come I am going to take you to our wedding." Her dream was interrupted by a large knock on the window.
She got out her bed and opened her window and to her surprise Sly was standing there smiling at her and carrying a bouquet of flowers. She whispered, " Sly what are doing here?" Sly laughed and handed her the bouquet, " I came to give you these." He then jumped inside the room and Anna looked out the balcony and saw how high up her room was from the ground. She asked, " Did you climb up the wall?" Sly came closer to her, " It is not the first time Anna , remember the first time I saw you ." She giggled " Oh how I remember it so will. It was the night you stole my heart."
Anna said, " You still didn't answer my question what are you doing here? It is a tradition that the bride does not see the groom on the eve of their wedding night." Sly kissed her in her ear and whispered in her ear ," Well my darling Anna you know that you and I are popular at breaking traditions." Anna told him, " But I happen to like this tradition so please can you go." Sly joked around, " Ok but promise me one thing." Anna agreed, " Ok one thing. What is it?" Sly said, " Meet me after an hour in the garden. Then Anna heard a knock on the door and asked, " Who is it? Her mother answered, " Its me Anna your mother?" Anna got worried Sly was standing right next to her. She softly spoke so that her mother does not hear her, " You have to go now." Sly said, " Promise me then or I will not leave." At that point Anna had no other chose but to promise him she will meet him later than he left. Anna went to open the door to her mother. Her mother smiled and entered, " Anna what took you so long dear?" Anna lied, " Oh mother I was brushing my teeth before I go to bed."
She noticed her mother carrying a small crystal box and wandered what it was." What is this your carrying mother?"She asked. Her mother sat on her bed and said, " Come over here and I will show you." Anna did what she was told, she sat on the bed beside her mother. Her mother said, " In this box are some belongings I got from my mother before I got married." Anna got excited to find out what was in side. She opened the box and saw many of her mother's pearl and diamond and necklaces." Oh mother these are so unique and precious."Queen told Anna," Yes they are Anna and they are my wedding gifts to you my love." Anna was surprised and could believe it, " For me , oh no my mother I couldn't take them from you." Her mother said, " These have been passed on from my ancestors and I want you to have them." Anna began to cry she hugged her mother and thanked her for the gift and she promised her that she will treasure it.
Then she left.
Anna started at one of the necklace and felt they were so beautiful that she couldn't stop looking at it. " I am going to wear this on the day of my wedding." She told herself." Oh no!" She remembered right then that poor Sly was waiting for her in the garden , she placed the necklace in her jewelry box and then rushed to the garden to look for him.
In the garden with the help of king James,Sly organized some harp and villain players to entertain them for the evening. Tonight he was going to wine and dine Anna. He heard her footsteps coming , and she saw him well dressed standing in front of an intimate dinner table. Anna was stunned, " Oh Sly did you do all this for me." Sly said, " Well I have to confess that your father helped me a lot." Anna couldn't be happier than this moment she ran to him and placed her arms around him, " Sly did I ever tell you how much I love you?" Sly smiled, " Well I would love to hear those words coming out of you beautiful mouth again." She kissed and said, " I love Sly forever and ever and I cant wait till tomorrow when you will be mine." Sly kissed her forehead and said, " Me too Anna.It seems like I was waiting all my life to find you." After they had enjoyed a delicious dinner , Sly took her hand and asked, " My I have this dance my princess." Anna smiled, " You most definitely can my darling prince."
Not so far behind them were Margaret and Sam sitting on the bench ,enjoying a picnic basket that Sam had prepared. Sam kissed Margaret, " Alone at last." Margaret was satisfied that she convinced Anna to sleep early the night before her wedding day. Now she was having some alone time with Sam. " It was so sweet of you to get a picnic basket I wonder what is inside." It is a secret now close your eyes and guess." She did as she was told and Sam told her to open her mouth. Then she tasted some delicious strawberries, " Oh yummy , I want more." Sam said, " As you wish." Sam then looked behind them because he heard some music playing in the background and was shocked to see Anna and his brother dancing as the music was play." Oh no that cunningly sly brother of mine." Margaret opened her eyes to see what was going on."Oh my goodness, it's Anna and Sly. They shouldn't be seeing each other the night before their wedding." Sam laughed, " Oh that's my brother alright, he doesn't play by the book." Margaret went to their table and interrupted them, " Anna you sneaky girl I left you to sleeping in your room."
Sly began to say, " Don't blame your sister Margaret it was all my idea." Anna calmed her sister down, " You can pretend that you never saw me and you can go back to having a wonderful dinner with Sam." Sam came over, " Oh no I think each one of you should go back to your room right now. We have to wake up bright and early for a wedding." Margaret also agreed, "Come on Anna say goodnight the Sly because I am talking you back to your room. "
So Anna and Sly did as they were told and said their farewells while they were both being pushed by Sam and Margaret. Safely in her room Anna told Margaret all about how she ended up with Sly, Margaret had to admit it sounded so romantic. Anna told her sister, " Well I told you about my night ,tell me about yours and Sam." Margaret admitted to her sister that she had a great time with Sam and it was so romantic. " Oh Anna those brothers can certainly sweep a woman off her feet." Anna agreed with her sister. When she slept she dreamt about Sly and the wonderful wedding ceremony they were about to have." As for Margaret she looked out her window she saw Sam and Sly ridding off. Sam looked up and noticed Margaret then he blew her a kiss and she did the same.
