Apologies for my absence, here's a little update for those of you still following. And thanks to all my new followers - it still blows my mind that after 6 years, people are still reading these oneshots. Hope you enjoy.

Prompt: Friday Nights

Rose groaned and flung herself onto the couch, feeling more bored than she ever thought could be possible.

This is all my fault, she thought to herself in annoyance. It was Friday night and she had run out of things to do. She had never thought that as the Queen's personal Guardian here at the Royal Court, she would be bored for even a moment.

But boy, had she been wrong.

She had been in meetings all afternoon with Lissa and now that evening time had fallen, Lissa was relaxing with Christian. Rose on the other hand, was all alone.

"Stupid, stupid, stupid," she murmured to herself, taking it out in a nearby cushion.

You need to get out," she had said to Dimitri one day after work, a couple of weeks earlier. "Make some friends; it'd be good for you to get out and socialise."

And now here she was on a Friday night all alone, because the stupid ass had taken her advice.
