"Um..."
Charlotte looked around quickly, trying to find her prince. How could she really lose him?! What if she never finds him again??
"Prince?"
Charlotte called out hesitantly, and then louder.
"Prince? Pink Prince?"
She quickened her pace, trying to avoid the librarians, because, well... Shouting was usually frowned upon in libraries.

He heard a voice calling out, saying...something. But he had to be mishearing; why would someone be saying 'Prince' over and over? Still, he leaned around a shelf to look, and there she was. He breathed a sigh of relief (although what had he been worried about? It's not like even a first year could get dangerously lost in just the library). Gumball made his way around the shelf and held out the book to her with a smile.

Completely at a loss and twiddling her thumbs, Charlotte looked around, getting more and more anxious with each passing hour! Well... minute. Her Pink Prince was nowhere to be found!
I... I think I lost him!
Charlotte sniffled, wiping her eyes. No! She wasn't crying! Not because she just lost someone she had just met... She turned around, seeing if he was around the next bookcase or whatever. Seeing him right behind her was surprising to say the least. Seeing him with the book and a smile on his face was like the last straw.
And just like that, the young Hufflepuff fainted.

Gumball jumped in surprise as the first year keeled over. Had he scared her, by coming up behind her without saying anything?
"Are you alright?" He knelt next to her, at a loss for what to do.
And he still didn't know her name.

The unicorns were so cute! Prancing around with little pink bunnies hopping alongside them. They jumped over rainbows and ate little unicorn gumdrops that were covered with sparkles and glitter. The stars in the sky glowed all the colors of the rainbow, but everything else was pink. Multiple shades of pink; dark pink, hot pink, light pink, rose, magenta, and mauve...
With a start, Charlotte came back to reality, staring up at that light pink she had seen when she was... well... passed out.
"Y-Yes...?"

"Oh, thank goodness." He sighed with relief. "What happened?" It wasn't as though she'd tripped on anything. It looked to him as though she'd just crumpled to the ground for no reason at all.

The young girl took a deep breath. She wasn't going to tell him what had caused her to faint.
"I was uhm... It was... I..."
Charlotte flushed the bright pink she had thought of before, shaking her head before turning to smile up at him.
"It was nothing."
She pointed to the book, beginning to regain her composure... Or what was left of it.
"So, may I have that?"

"Oh!" He'd forgotten he was holding it. He held the old textbook out to her again. "Of course you can." He still wondered what she'd fainted for, but he didn't want to upset her by asking. Her blush already showed she was embarrassed about it.

Charlotte nodded, hesitantly taking the old schoolbook.
"Are you sure it's okay if I take this?"
She flipped through the textbook, catching glimpses of doodles in pink ink, feeling her heart swell. Going through this textbook was going to be fun. Remembering that she was in the company of her Pink Prince, she closed the book, tucking it under her arm.
"So... What's your name? I-If you don't mind me asking, of course!"
For the entire time she had known him [maybe an hour], she had never gotten the young man's name. Not that she wouldn't mind to continue calling him her "Prince," but he might and maybe he really likes his name and wishes for people to use it a lot!

"I brought it here for you. Of course it's alright." He watched her flip through the book, and jumped when he saw the pen doodles. He'd totally forgotten about the idle drawings he'd done in that class. He had a sudden flash of worry and hoped that a...certain classmate of his had not written anything vulgar inside.
"Oh! We still haven't been introduced! My deepest apologies." How could they get this far in the conversation without exchanging names? "My name is Gumball. And yours?"

Gumball! What a wonderful name! It just conjured up images of pink and wonderful...ness! Charlotte let out a happy sigh before realizing that her Prince was probably waiting for her reply.
"Name, Charlotte. Is my... "
Charlotte slapped a hand over her mouth, what if he thought she was lame? Not being able to talk! That wasn't good! Taking a moment to reorganize her thoughts, she slowly lowered her hand from her mouth.
"My name is Charlotte."
She bowed her head slightly, smiling. Maybe he hadn't noticed her blunder! It wasn't likely, but still!

"Charlotte?" He didn't comment on her mistake. After all, for all he knew she'd hit her head when she fell. That brought up a whole new worry.
"Are you feeling alright? You fainted, so maybe you should head to the hospital wing..." He put his hand to her forehead, checking for a temperature.

And suddenly, the world was rainbows, lollipops, and sunshine. Charlotte's ears glowed a brilliant red, rivaling her hair in sheer brightness. Here was her Prince! He was worried about her! Maybe he cared for her!
We can get married and we'll have unicorns and we can have cheese and chocolate and sweets every single day and we'll live happily ever after!
"I-I'm fine..."
Charlotte mumbled. But wait! Maybe if she fainted again, he'd have to carry her to the nurses office! That was clear across the school! It would be like a fairytale! Her Prince carrying her bridal style for the entire school to see!

She didn't seem to be attending, and she was turning a strange color. Gumball frowned, concerned.
"Maybe you should head to the hospital wing," he suggested, withdrawing his hand. Remembering that she was a first year, he added, "I'll help you find it."

"R-Really?"
She certainly didn't need to go to the nurse, but would it really hurt to have her Pink Prince walk her all the way there? Definitely not. With replenished confidence, she took hold of Gumball's arm. This was okay, wasn't it? Of course it was. He was just showing her the way to the nurses office and she was doing her job of not getting lost along the way! It made definite sense. How had she not that of this before?
"Thank you so much, Gumball!"
