This chapter was delayed, but I'm getting back in the hang of things. I've been working on getting a lot of another fanfic squared away so I can publish the majority of it at a regular pace. If you're reading this, I love you. Three chapters or less until the end of this story!

Everyone crowded around me after my uneventful landing.

I quickly jumped up and continued after my brother, pushing people out of my way.

After what seemed like ages of running, I finally caught up to my brother, and snagged my cloak from him. He gave me a dirty look and ran off with his minions in tow. I however, ran back to the hotel to get dressed.

After entering my room, I got cleaned up and put my cloak on. I gazed at myself in the mirror, making different faces, trying to see which one might appeal to Winnie. None of them looked like they would.

Abandoning my futile attempt at making faces, I went over to my bed and looked at the old book. I grinned. I was going to dance with someone I genuinely liked and cared about. I felt my heart skip a beat.

Now all I had to do was wait until it was time for my birthday dance. It'd be set up soon, someone would come get me so they could 'get the party started.'

Oh boy.
