I LOVE Reign right now! I LOVE Bash and Mary together and I can't wait for the next episode! But we all know history and knowing the writers, they are going to throw in a LOT of twist that will break Bash and Mary apart. I feel that Bash deserves a happy ending! So here we are…

This idea popped into my head a while back and I finally decided to write it.

What if Aylee didn't go to France with the other maids-in-waiting?

What if Lola wasn't the only one that was in love or engaged?

Iseabail is childhood friends of Mary; Queen of Scotland, Greer, Lola, and Kenna.

Iseabail is the only child of Viscount Marcas Gray and Viscountess/Lady Laren-one of the richest families in Scotland, owning MOST of the trees/lumber.

She has been betrothed to Sir Jonathon Rielly ever sense she was born; Marcas and Lord Robert Rielly are childhood friends who want to join their houses.

She can do archery and wield a sword as well as any man, but her preferred weapon are throwing daggers; carrying 3 at all times, all well hidden so that only those close to her knows where they are.

All of Mary's ladies have a role to play; Greer is the sweet/fashionable one, Kenna the flirt/bilingual, Lola the healer, and Iseabail the protective one- each will be needed to help Mary win Prince Francis's heart.

P.S. I am a VERY visual person so I chose an Iseabail, picture Saoirse Ronan. I think she's quite beautiful!

I Own NOTHING!

Iseabail POV

"The castle seems bigger." stated Kenna as we rode up in the carriage.

"I don't know if that's possible." stated Greer with a smile.

"Oh shut up." shot back Kenna.

"Ladies, behave!" said Lola as she looked out the window.

"I can't believe we're finally here." I said leaning over Lola to look out her window at the water.

"It's been so long sense we've seen her, do you think she' changed?" asked Greer.

"As you said it's been a long time." said Kenna.

"She's still Mary, she's still our friend." I said back as the carriage came to a stop.

"Here we go." said Greer as the door opened.

I was the last to get out, "There's Mary." I said looking to the left as a second carriage joined ours.

We all sort of waited till Mary was out of carriage and then all ran to her as one.

We curtsied to her but she drew us into her arms for hugs.

"We missed you!" said Lola.

"Oh Kenna, Greer, Lola, Iseabail! We're finally all together again!" said Mary, and then she turned and realized the whole French court was watching us.

We quickly moved away from Mary so that she could present herself.

"Oh Mary, your hair! Did the nuns teach you any thing?" asked Greer as she tried to fix Mary's hair.

"Greer, those can't all be close!" said Mary as the footman passed chest upon chest on the ground from our carriage.

"They're not, there's jewelry and silver too." said Greer. "Making up in volume what I lack in station, I suppose." She added.

"Here they came!" said Lola as the horns blew to let us know that royals had arrived.

"There he is, that's the king." said Lola.

"That's King Henry, but is that Catherine?" asked Mary as we watch the royals walk to their places.

"No, they're still waiting on her." I said.

"That's Diane de Poitiers, the King's mistress." said Kenna. "So the rumors are true."

"Unlike her, you lot will have no problems finding husbands here." said Lola as she linked arms with me.

"We'll certainly enjoy the hunt." said Kenna with a smirk. "What about you two, oh wait you're spoken for."

Both Lola and I both glared at her, "And happily thank you!" I said back.

"Colin said he'd wait for me." stated Lola.

"Till when, we might not set foot on Scottish soil again. Not if it all works out and Mary rains here." said Greer.

"Once she is married you can come home with me." I said pulling Lola closer. She gave me a smile and tightened her hold as well.

"What do you mean if?" asked Kenna.

"Make no mistake; we are here to get our young Queen in the game. Alliances can shift at any moment, before they do, Mary needs to win the Prince's heart." said Greer.

"Is that Francis? He's gorgeous!" said Kenna as a handsome man walked onto the red carpet.

"No that's not Francis, I know it isn't." said Mary.

"Then it must be Sebastian, the King's bastard." said Lola.

"Diane's son. They say the King favors him." said Kenna.

"Don't get any ideas Kenna!" I said with a smile.

Kenna just smirked at me.

Queen Catherine finally made her entrance, every one bowed in her wake.

Then a blonde man dressed all in black walked down the red carpet towards us.

"Francis." I heard Mary whisper.

We all curtsied as he bowed to Mary.

We watched as Mary and Francis interacted.

"She's smiling!" Lola whispered.

"Let's hope he does too." whispered Greer.

Prince Francis beckoned Mary down the red carpet, we followed right after.

…

"You are back at court at your own Queen's bidding. As noble ladies you must counsel her. Prepare her. Account for her." said a very scary looking woman.

Mary was sitting in a chair behind us as the four of us stood in front of her.

"Who here is fluent in Italian?" the woman asked.

"I guess I am." said Kenna.

"The pope's cousin is here, he has no teeth and speaks very quickly." said the woman.

We all burst out laughing.

After the woman left we just sat round catching up near the window.

"So Iseabail, are you still engaged to Jonathon?" asked Mary.

I smiled, "Yes, and he can't wait to marry me." I said.

"Why haven't you married yet?" asked Greer as she leaned more in to the pillows.

"Sense Mary's mother asked my father personally if I could come to France with Mary, he thought it best that we got Mary here married first,. Jonathon understands that." I said.

"So when Mary is married, you'll just leave?" asked Kenna.

"Not right after, but yes some time after the wedding I will go back to Scotland. I am my father's only heir, marrying Jonathon will join our lands and make our families twice as strong." I stated.

"Well I am just glad to have you here, I'm glad to have all of you here!" said Mary as she grabbed a hold of our hands.

"And we are glad to be here." said Kenna.

"Oh you just want to hunt for men!" said Greer.

"Is that a crime?" asked Kenna.

"I know, we have time before we have to get ready for the wedding, let's explore!" said Lola.

We all jumped up and headed for the door.

"You lot go, I'll catch up." said Mary.

I stopped in my tracks, "Mary." I but whispered.

"I'll stay inside the castle, Iseabail, go! Explore!" said Mary.

I sighed but followed after the girls.

…

After a time of exploring I got bored and looked out the window, only to see Mary outside.

"I'll stay inside she said." I thought as I ran down the stairs.

"Mary!" I yelled as I watched her throw some thing into the water.

Sterling, Mary's loving dog ran up to me. "What has your mistress been up to?" I asked the dog.

Sterling left me and ran back to Mary. "You promised you would stay inside!" I yelled as I neared her.

Mary jumped, "Iseabail! You scared me!" she said standing up.

I smiled, "Glad to see I can still do that."

Mary rolled her eyes at me, "You're the only one that can."

"Good!" I smiled.

Just then Sterling took off running.

"Sterling! Sterling, come back!" yelled Mary as she took off after him.

"Sterling!" I yelled as I too followed.

"Mary! Mary!" yelled a voice from behind us.

I turned around only to see the bastard son on a horse riding towards us.

"Mary, wait!" said Sebastian as jumped off his horse to stepped in front of us.

"Mary, young girls, royals should not go into the woods alone." said Sebastian.

"But I'm not alone." said Mary as she looked over at me.

Sebastian looked at me, or should I say he looked me up and down. I glared at him. "We could have caught Sterling if you hadn't stopped us." I said.

"The dog will come back; under no circumstance do you go into those woods. Do you hear me?" asked Sebastian.

"What's in those woods?" I asked.

Sebastian ignored me, "There is food and warmth at the castle, who wouldn't want to be there?" he asked.

I rolled my eyes, "He's right Mary, Sterling will come back, we have to get ready for the wedding." I said taking a hold of her hand.

Mary looked at me and then back at the woods. "Ok." She whispered.

"Your Grace." Sebastian bowed as we left him.

"What an ass." I whispered as Mary and I walked into the castle.

Mary gave me a look, "Did you see what he did? He looked me up and down." I stated.

Mary smiled, "You are a beautiful women, of course he noticed."

I rolled my eyes, "I only have eyes for one man, and he has my heart." I said as we climbed the stairs,

"I wish we were all as lucky as you." said Mary.

I linked arms with her, "Tell me what happened."

Mary sighed, "Later, we have a celebration to get ready for."

….

As we got ready Lola told us about Colin arriving.

"Lola, that's wonderful news!" I said hugging her.

"I just can't believe that he's here!" said Lola as she put blush on.

"What did the Queen say?" asked Greer as she did my eyes.

"Just that she wanted Colin to tell her about his families history, I think that's a good sign!" said Lola.

"I'm happy for you!" I said, but in truth I wished that Jonathon had thought of such a thing and was here by my side.

It was as if Greer had read my mind, "You will see Jonathon soon, we'll just take care of Mary's ever after and then you'll get yours."

I smiled at her, "You're right."

…..

The ceremony was beautiful and now it was time for the wedding feast.

"Isn't she lovely?" asked Mary as we watched the married couple dance.

"Yes!" said Greer.

Lola looked around the room, "Have you seen Colin?" she asked.

"No." I said I as I too looked around.

"Looking for some one?" asked a male voice from behind us.

I turned around and saw a smirking Sebastian.

I just glared at him, "Yes we are looking for some one, and he isn't you." I said.

I heard Lola gasp, "Iseabail."

I shrugged and then I spotted him, "There he is, Lola." I said.

Lola followed my line of sight, just in time to see Colin with Mary.

Sebastian too looked, "Who's that?" he asked.

"Colin." Lola whispered.

I took a hold of her hand, "She's the Queen, he's just paying his respects." I said.

Lola looked at the ground.

Mary noticed this and quickly came over.

"Lola, come dance with me!" said Mary as she took Lola out of my reach.

"Take off your shoes, all of you!" Mary added.

We all laughed and took off our shoes. Mary had Lola and Greer was with Kenna and I.

We laughed and danced to the music, just the five of us.

My cheeks hurt from smiling so much; more and more people joined us in our circle. Greer twirled me around and around, only stopping when feathers started to fall from the ceiling.

All of us gazed up in wonder.

I finally brought my head down and took in my friends having fun. Mary was looking over to the side, I noticed that she was gazing at Francis. I smiled, "This might work out after all." I thought.

I felt eyes on me, looking around I saw that Sebastian was staring at me. I nodded at him, when Greer grabbed my hand.

"Its time!" she whispered as that wedding couple walked passed us.

"Aren't you curious?" asked Kenna as she grabbed Mary's hand.

I grabbed Lola's hand and we followed after Mary and Kenna.

We into the back and look through the spotted wall. The new married couple were getting help to undress.

"Are they just going to stay in there with them?" asked Lola when she noticed the priest and the others around him.

"They have to make sure that the deed is done." said Kenna with a smile.

"We should go!" said Greer as the groom laid his bride upon the bed.

All of us quickly left the room, "Go! Quickly before any one sees us!" said Mary and we scattered.

I ran down the hallway that the girls and I had explored earlier. I only slowed down when I say other people around.

I stopped at an open window when I saw fireworks go off.

"Beautiful, aren't they?" said a voice from behind me.

I quickly turned around, "Will you please stop sneaking up on me!" I said as Sebastian came closer.

"But its fun!" he said back.

I rolled my eyes and looked back out the window.

"Where is every one?" Sebastian asked.

"Around." I shrugged.

"You don't like me." Sebastian stated.

"What gave you that idea?" I asked smirking.

"May I ask what I did to deserve such attitude?" Sebastian asked.

I turned to look at him, "I am not like other girls, my lord, I am happily engaged to a man that I love and I want only him. So your charm won't work on me." I said looking him in the eye.

Sebastian raised an eye brow, "My lord huh?" he asked.

"I thought it was respectable." I shrugged.

"Francis is the future king. not me, just Bash is fine." Sebastian stated leaning on the wall next to the window.

I smiled, "Iseabail."

Bash nodded, "So engaged? Man of your choice then?" he asked.

"It was decided the day I was born, I have known him all my life." I said back.

Bash nodded, "So you love him then?"

"I already told you that." I said rolling my eyes.

"Just checking." Bash said.

"I should get to the others." I said moving to leave the window.

"Good night, Iseabail." Bash called after me.

I turned around, "Good night….Bash." I said back.

So? What do you think? Is it worth continuing? Let me know and Review PLEASE!
