She refused to budge till Amaya accompanied herinto the store. Kumiko really wanted the long black leather coat. SinceAmaya didn't want to buy it, she...pouted, pleaded and refused to go withher till she got the coat. Amaya sighed and bought it, just so Kumikowould come with her.Later that night Kumiko couldn't resist putting her new ankle lengthcoat on again.

They were just about done eating when Princess Arabella innocently asked a very delicate question. "So David, where do you come from? We never get a chance to just sit and talk and I know that you are a new addition to the castle only being here a couple months. So where did you come from?"David stopped eating and looked over at the King for direction.
