Davina smiles as she pats Dakota on the arm and his father shakes his hand. They were happy their son found happiness.

Davina: Well this calls for a celebration, we need to throw a party in honor of both of you.
Timothy: Of course, tonight will be about you both. We will have the finest food and we will even crack open a few bottles of wine from the cellar.
Natalie:  Dat sounds vonderful, however ve did just get in right Dakota?
Dakota: This is true....

Dakota smiles and looks at both his parents.

Dakota: I am glad to see you both, but my future wife is right....We did just get in. Perhaps we can continue this at lunch?

Davina: Of course we can....You two have your private time.
Timothy: Yes of course, and then lunch on me.

Davina and Timothy smile and say their goodbyes before walking out of the room. Dakota looks towards Natalie as he knew something was wrong.

Dakota: Ok, what's wrong Nat? I know that look. What's on your mind?

Natalie sighed, as she chewed upon her lower lip while slipping heavily into deep thought.  So much was running in her mind, that she was uncertain of how she was keeping herself sane right at this moment.  Idly, she finds herself rotating the ring he had given her. Silently she removes it and something stares at it, admiring its sheer beauty before looking up to meet his concern.

Natalie:  Vhy are ve doing really?  I mean ve are completely different people.  I mean for god sakes you come from royality.  I....

She began but found it heard to do so, as she took a moment to collect herself.

Natalie:  I am but a reject and alvays vill be.  I am outcast, vhere you are so much more.  But vhy are ve doing this?  Ve are complete opposites, and I tink your parents know dis.

Dakota stares at Natalie, a bit taken back. She wondered what had happened that changed he train of thought.

Dakota: But you aren't marrying my parents, you're marrying me. Nat I know we are opposites, I know not many expect us to last but we can if we try. Unless you don't think it's worth trying. So what I come from royalty, it doesn't make me who I am.

Natalie shakes her head as she reaches up still clutching the ring in her hand as she grasps hand fulls of hair.  With a sigh, she relaxes her hands back down and begins to pace a bit.

Natalie:  Dat is vhere you are vrong.  Did you know just tell me several days ago vhen ve fought after your victory dat dat is how you vere raised.  Dat is da person your parents have made you to be and now you tell me dat is not vhom you are?  You are a valking contradiction.  I love you...I vant to be vith you.  But I am  not being fair.  I am in no vay on par vith you or your family.  You like da finer tings in life and all the fame and lights.  I like it simple....I can see you are trying, and it means da vorld to me.  But I can’t cage that...Dat is not vhom I am. You mean too much to me to do dat.  You are vorth so much and more.

Dakota sighs as he was getting frustrated. He didn't know hat to do, he didn't know what to say really.

Dakota: Natalie I love you too, but how can you stand there and say I am a walking contradiction? My royalty background does not define me, that has nothing to do with anything. But if that's how you feel fine. But think about this Natalie. If this is what you want I can't stop you. I can't make you stay if this is where you don't feel you need to be. I love you and want you to be happy my darling. I want you to do what makes you happy. They say if you truly love someone let them go, if they come back it was meant to be. As much as I love you but if I have to let you fly free then so be it.

Natalie was attempting to be strong, and she was shocked he wasn’t putting up more of a fight to keep them together.  Maybe this was another sign. Nodding, she walks over and hands him back the ring and gives him a kiss on the cheek.  With a broken heart, she walks over to grab her duffle and back pack.  Glancing back as a single tear falls, she heads out leaving him behind....This was eating her up inside.  He was the first to make her feel something on the inside instead of being some hollow shell that tried to put up a front as not to worry those around her.  Swallowing hard, she shoulders her duffle and begins to head towards the elevator.  Natalie would turn the key into the guard below once she was out of the elevator, but right now her legs felt like lead weights.  She didn’t want to leave, but to be fair...Alexis was right this whole time.  Dakota and his entire family was completely out of her league, and she couldn’t bring herself to be that third wheel.  To be snickered at behind her back or made him to look any less of a man when he was remarkable beyond belief.  He was wind, and he had to be free to be the best that he could be.

Nodding to herself she stepped on to the elevator and watched as the gold trimmed doors slide closed.  The digital number at the top began to decline, as she let out another long sigh.  She felt like she was making a terrible mistake, but at the same time felt like she was doing the completely right thing.  She wanted to rush back up and say nevermind everything I just said, I am just scared at all of this happening so fast...But she doubted he would take her back.  She made her bed and now would lie in it.  The doors parted and she nodded a greeting to the guard and handed him the key as she stepped out.  He was stunned to say the least at her departure, and noted the way she looked.  Smiling softly, she headed out through the lobby catching sight of Sophia whom seemed a little too enthused with her departure.  Holding strong, Natalie steps out into the night feeling the warm air of the Vegas Strip and looks around for a vacant cab.

Glancing back, she notices Sophia standing at the door fingering her diamond necklace.  Seeing that alone stung like hell..The bitch could afford those things and she couldn’t.  Not that she wanted it, it is just...Even she was out of her league.  Shaking her head she turned her attention back to finding herself a cab to take her away from all this, when there was a tap on her shoulder.  Glancing back over her shoulder, Natalie sees that Sophia has come to gloat at her expense.

Natalie: Vhat do you vant Sophia?
Sophia:  Can’t a girl come and see you off?
Natalie:  Vhat have I done to you?
Sophia:  Nothing..I just don’t like you. Not only that but Dakota is far too good to be with a woman like you. Hell if you even are a woman.  I mean look at you.  You look like some bottom dweller feeding on scraps left behind by my  kitchen staff, and you dress like a retarded four year old that can’t stay between the lines.  Why not go back to whatever planet you came from and stop attempting to bag yourself a rich boy so you can same some pathetic family far...

Before she could even  finish, Natalie drops her bags fluidly and punches Sophia in the face.  Several guests leap out of the way as Natalie turns with seething hatred towards the woman whom was now bleeding from the nose and in tears.

Sophia:  You broke my nose....You broke..Oh my god, this dress is ruined!  I am going to  sue you for everything you are worth and then make your family pay what you can’t..

Natalie again slams her fist into the woman’s face causing her to fall back on her pretty little ass.  Kneeling beside her with one knee planted firmly between her breasts, she begins to punch Sophia repeatedly enjoying the sight of her blood.  Her screams of pain and helplessness do nothing to sooth her anger.  No one speaks ill of her family or threatens them like that.  No one..She goes to slam her fist which now has busted open from the sheer force of her punches only to have it caught as some nameless man pulls her off with the assistance from another guy.  Women rush over to help her as someone shouts to the bell hop to get security and call 911.  Natalie spat an insult in Sophia’s direction in a language no one knew, as they helped her up into a sitting position.

Sophia:  You are an animal....You should be put down.
Natalie:  Screw you you gold diggin vhore...You scrap by batting your filthy fake eye lashes opening someone likes the plastic that they see you sporting enough to cater to your ever vhim.  You are nothing and alvays vill be nothing.  And if I ever catch you talking about my family like dat again you bitch, I vill see to it you never speak again!
Sophia:  You heard that...You heard her  threaten me?!  I was only seeing her off and she attacked me...Police!  Someone call the Police!

It was at this time time we see an arm come around Natalie's waist and pull her away from the crowd. The person holds Natalie against them as we pan up to see it was Dakota. You could see hurt in his eyes as he holds on to Natalie, even if she was squirming. He tells security to grab Sophia and take her to the EMT which the casino had on call.

Dakota: Shut up Sophia, shut your damn mouth....I'm sure you started it you stupid broad. Go with security and the EMT, go NOW before I do something I'm gonna regret.

Sophia goes to scream but security hauls her off as she screams she was going to press charges. Natalie continues to squirm, but Dakota keeps a good hold on her.

Dakota: Baby stop...Relax....It isn't worth this.
Natalie:  No one speaks of my family like dat and gets avay vith it....

Natalie returns in a heated state, as she finally exhausts herself and relaxes.  Glaring in the direction in which Sophia had been dug to, she spits to the side  as those around them facebook, tweet, youtube, and whatever means to spread the word on what they had just seen.  With a heavy sigh she relaxes enough to get Dakota to let her go as she slowly turns to face him.
