Nick and I spent the remaining time just talking about ourselves, and playing a game called checkers. I was actually pretty good.

Yes, I know you all are goin 'Your wings! YOUR WINGS! Won't they SHOW!?' back there. Give me time to explain. The dress actually had this thing on the back to hide them. See? No problem. Maybe except for a little bit of a tight squeeze (they take up some room).

So, that's all about me. Nick?

He was wearing, unsuprisingly, a black top, black pants, and formal black shoes. Which match my own dress, apparently. His hair wasn't tampered with, so he was lucky. His personal hairdresser people got a hold of me and completely did my hair. I only managed not to get any makeup on. Which was good.

I could hear the scuffling of the assistants down the stairs, getting ready for the Ball of Dreams. This would be the first time I danced, that's for sure.

Was I nervous?

Yes.

Was I happy?

Yes.

Was I scared shitless?

Hell yes.

The lights were on in the large ballet room, and people were pouring in. Max and Nick were the only two there for a while, until the first few made it in. The two were already dancing to the light tune given by the violen and chimes in the back. They swayed left to right in perfect unison, catching the attention of all the dancers that have already entered.

A smile played on Nick, and Max already wore one. Her hair was up into one of those royal buns, and Nick's was just normal. Nice and short, bangs hanging on his left eye. He could be the world heartthrob, if he was that famous. He was known moreover as the quiet prince. But Max knew better. He talks often, and loves to listen to other people's stories of themselves.

Max didn't feel like a sickly lowlife anymore. She felt normal, minus the fact that she caught the eye of the prince. She felt... good, for once. Finally, she knew what it was like to be able to interact with people. Finally, she knew what the real beauty of the kingdom was.

She caught a glimpse of an azure blue dress, that looked ineterestingly like the one the Godmother gave her.

Ella. Max thought instantly. She glanced at her, and Ella was looking at her, clear anger written all over her face. She looked like she was ready to kill, which very well could be what she's thinking.

The room was filled to the brim shortly after her appearance, and Max lost sight of her instantly. She returned her attention to the boy she was with, and ignored the confused look he gave her.

(Ella)

Urgh! This is SO frustrating! This dress is so much prettier than hers, yet she gets the prince. Ugh!

I stormed to where the food was kept, and grabbed an apple. I thought of what wouldh appen if Nick and I were together.

I'd get two kingdoms, more cash, and a cute guy. Plus, I'd get to rip that thing's heart to pieces.

And the only way to do it?

Easy.

I snuck out of there, and waited for my best person to come out of the carriage.

There he was. Tall, blind, and a great cook. He was excellenf for the job. And with his profession at explosives, it'll be a snap.

"Yes, m'lady?" He said politely, bowing slightly. I just nodded in acknowledgement.

"I need you to plan for a break in."

"For...?" He said, wanting more information.

"Just get ready." I snapped, walking back in and looking for a temporary partner. This ball was held only once every four years. Might as well make my first appearence worthwhile.

Please, read my profile (Bottom) for more information on what'll happen or something. I'm sorry I'm updating really slow, but it explains why.

Get ready, because something's going on in Ella's mind.
