Aurora leaned forward slightly and took the french toast off the fork. She chewed it slowly; savoring the flavors. She closed her eyes and sat back slightly, a smile on her lips. "And you are quite the cook." She complimented, opening her eyes slowly to look at him. She brought the coffee to her lips and took a sip. "Where are we going for the dress?" She asked softly. "We still don't have to get it if you'd rather we did something else."

"Ah yes.....you want to go shopping? Well finish breakfast, I have a few treats waiting for you....." Mark said, giving Aurora a kiss on the forehead and going to the bathroom to dress himself. You hear two cars outside, the two stop, and then one leaves.....leaving a car behind....

Aurora watched him go to the bathroom, put her cup of coffee to the side, then quickly finished the breakfast. She savored each bite. Once she was done, she set the plate on a table next to the bed, then swung her legs out from the bed. She closed her eyes, a small smile on her lips. She grabbed her bag, put it on the bed and quickly got dressed. As she took a few steps, her hands shot to her hips and she leaned over in pain. "Ow..." She muttered to herself. She knew she'd be walking funny for a couple of minutes; hopefully it would wear off once she got around Mark. She went back to her bag, grabbed her toothbrush and leaned against the wall so she could do her toiletries .

Mark got out of the bathroom, and went to the walk in cupboard to get dressed in his usual suit and tie set.
"Your treat just came, Aurora. It is waiting outside, I will be waiting there....." Mark said as he got out of the bedroom and went downstairs. He opened the front door and left the immense house.

Aurora went into the bathroom and quickly brushed her teeth and everything else. She leaned over the sink and looked at herself. She blushed slightly at the marks on her neck; there would be no way to hide them. Sighing to herself, she left the bathroom; keeping her toothbrush in there. She still walked awkwardly, then slowly made her way outside. she shut the door behind her and looked over to Mark. "That's a nice car." She called out as she forced herself to walk as normally as possible. She leaned up and pecked Mark's cheek, then looked at the car; her hand skimming the new, sparkling sports car.

"This....is your car. Today's gift. Question number 4. We are going to drive through Vienna, and shop. Im sure you like shopping, don't you...? And anyway, this is your car, you drive it." Mark joyfully said, his cyan eyes looking at her excited.
*He gave her the keys to the car, and he whispered to her..*
"We can change the car color...I just loved silver....."

Aurora smiled and took the keys. She walked to the driver's side, unlocked the car and slid in. "Silver works perfectly fine for me." She smirked. "Just tell me where to go." She excitedly told him. "And you'll have to help me with speed limits and everything." She added on quickly; her eyes looking about the drive very excitedly.

"You will do just fine....the driving stuff is very similar to the USA. You go out the gate, turn right, and go straight ahead for about 20 minutes. Once there we should have reached the city, well look for a parking spot and go visiting...." Mark said with a smile, riding shotgun.

Aurora looked at him seriously when he got into the passenger seat, "And who said you could ride shot-gun?" She teased, then laughed. She quickly started the car; listening to the gentle purr of the engine. She shifted into 'drive' in a fluid motion, then took off down the drive.
As he directed and guessed, they arrived in the city a little over 20 minutes later. She found a parking spot, parked and slowly got out. She waited for him to get out, then looked around. "Lead the way, my prince." She winked, then hit the automatic lock on her key.

"It would be an honor, my princess..." Mark offered his arm to her and led her through the busy streets of the posh Vienna.
"What would you prefer we go shop, Aurora..? We could start out at the jewellery store, or maybe something simpler, the perfume shop? Or perhaps.....you would prefer to visit some museum?" Mark asked her, walking down the street, looking around at the different store names.

Aurora looked around, gazing in through the windows. "Well... We can first go to the museum, then go shopping for the dress that way we know what kind of necklace to buy to go with it." She suggested as she wrapped her arm around his; then grabbed his hand. She laced their fingers and laid her head on his shoulder as they walked.

"I know better then a museum.....the Palace of Sissy. A damn beautiful palace let me add. Right around the corner we should reach it..." He gently added pressure in his hand grip, and he led her to the Palace, entering the pretty garden. Mark paid the tickets, and they began their tour, begining with the living quaters.
"Now this...must be a hell of a place with all the servant's, with all this red carpet and golden furniture, and only candle light when the day was dark. Must be quite....fantastic...." He spoke with his accent again, feeling comfortable.

Aurora's eyes took in the beautiful settings as they walked. "Have I ever told you how much I love your accent?" She asked softly, her voice reflecting how she felt by the palace; mesmerized. She slowly, briefly, looked at him, then back around the living quarters. Her thumb lightly rubbed the back of his hand as they continued on.

"Ahh....the dining room. Did you know they replaced the candles every time on the candles on the chandelier, but the candles only lasted for about 45 minutes. And the meal would end if all the candles had burned. On top of that, if the king had finished before, everyone had to stop eating. So, poor sissy who ate very slowly, often ate at her friends house." He explained Aurora, his Cyan eyes watching her beautiful face.

Aurora, still in awe, examined the fine work on the tables, chairs and woodwork. "Wow..." She muttered, a small smile on her lips; her dark green eyes wide. she lightly swung their arms between them, her thumb still rubbing the top of his hand.

"Oh....this....is the living room...." Mark stated, as he pointed at the large sofa's and the walls covered in paintings from the family and hunts. "Imagine living in those times as a noble, it must have been quite fun.....or being friends of the royal family, so you could simply come here and not have to worry with the much more grandiose affairs..." He said, looking at the furniture. "I wonder thought if those are even comfortable..." He giggled.

Aurora lightly, playfully pushed Mark at his last statement, "Nothing in this entire world, past, present or future, could be more comfortable than being in your arms... they do look comfy, though." She smiled and looked at him. After a few moments, she finally smiled once more and uttered a, "Thank you." To him. He probably had no idea what she was thanking him for, but she knew... and she had to say it. Smiling to herself, she turned her attention back to the rooms.

"If my arms are comfortable, yours are heaven on earth...Aurora..." Mark whispered in her ear. He hears her thank him, he simply replies "Well you are welcome."
Mark showed her the entier Palace, from a experienced point of view. He had the private -the- tour with a historian. He could tell more then what the phones said or what was written on the small notes. After a few hours they both left. Now was the shopping time.
"So, my princess, what do you wish to shop first...?"

Aurora walked ahead of him slightly and spun in a small circle; like a ballerina. Her hand never released his and she spun into his arms. "We can get the dress... so we know how to match it up with the necklace, right?" She inquired as she looked up at him from his arms.

Mark laughed happily. "Ah yes, let us find a dress then....Oh! I know just the place! About 15 blocks from here is a boutique that sells these beautifull dresses. Let's go." He joyfully said, as bright, generous smile grew.
He led Aurora to the shop. There were two dresses on show. One around 1500$ and the other 3200$.
"Here we are, they sell some of the best dress here. Lead on, my beauty." Mark stated as he opened the door of the boutique.
