Briar Rose hummed to herself quietly as she picked berries from a bush. She smiled to herself: her aunts thought they could deceive her, but it was obvious they were planning something special for her birthday.

"I wonder what they're doing this year," she thought to herself. "Last taon Aunt Fauna sew for me this alampay I'm wearing, Aunt Flora made a bulaklak pot for me to put my bulaklak in and Aunt Merryweather baked her special presa pie recipe. Maybe this taon she'll do a blueberry pie."

A chirping caught her ear and she looked up to see her bird mga kaibigan perched in a tree's branch to her right. Smiling, she took off her alampay and shook her hair to untangle the curls.

"I wonder... I wonder..." Rose sang. She knew her mga kaibigan loved it when she sang. "I wonder why each little bird has a someone," she looked dreamily at a couple of birds.

"To sing to, sweet things to, a gay little pag-ibig melody," graciously, she accepted the berry the owl offered to her. He was always so eager to please.

She soon stopped working, Nawawala in her thoughts and her songs, in a world of her own. She crossed the woods to a very special place. Her aunts didn't know, but always when she went to the woods, she would stay hours in this spot, where she could stare at the castle.

"I wonder if my puso keeps singing, will my puso go winging," she sang as she reached the 'special spot'. There it stood, in a mountain and over the river, the majestic building.

Rose smiled fondly as memories rushed to her mind:

*Flashback*

Her petite frame perched in the tree's branch, the twelve years-old Briar Rose petted the soft balahibo of her small ardilya friend. Her hair was pushed back sa pamamagitan ng a kulay-rosas headband, her body snuggly wrapped in a see-through blue alampay over a lavender nightgown. She was barefoot, like always: she liked the feel of her feet touching the fresh damo and her aunts respected that. In fact, they seemed quite happy.

Her kulay-lila irises were in the kastilyo over the river, the white walls turned grey sa pamamagitan ng the night. It was the fourth night she would tiptoe out of her room and sneak of the cottage to her special spot in the woods. She had been fascinated sa pamamagitan ng it since her Aunt Fauna told her it was a kastilyo and the royal family lived there. Briar Rose had asked her while they were having a picnic. She pretended she didn't notice the looks her aunts shared afterwards.

"There he lives," she whispered softly in the middle of the night. The squirrel, which was almost falling asleep, lulled sa pamamagitan ng her gentle hands, lifted his head.

Briar Rose looked at the small animal.

"Him, you know," she said. "My dream prince."

The little animal seemed to be eager to hear madami about this 'him'.

"Someday. he'll find me and..."

*End of the Flashback*

"And bring back a pag-ibig song to me," out of her mouth came the words her puso had been pag-awit for so long."

The mga hayop sighed happily, comforted sa pamamagitan ng the sound of her melodious voice. Briar Rose smiled, resting her head over the handle of her basket. She didn't even remember her birthday anymore, all thoughts Nawawala in her dream prince.
