So here it is. The winner of the poll. This is just the prologue. The actual first chapter should be up sometime next week. Mary's gonna be born earlier in this. She'll be born in 1512 and Anne will be born in 1510 making her two years older than Princess Mary. Also I know that Mary was probably not living at Ludlow at six years old but oh well.

Disclaimer: I don't own the Tudors.

1518

Eight year old Anne Boleyn was sulking. Until recently the plan for her and her sister were that Mary was to go to France to serve the queen Claude, and Anne was to go to the archduchesses court until she was old enough to go to France. But then a position in the Princess Mary household had opened up for a young girl of a noble family and her father had jumped at it.

Having Anne placed in a royal household now would be more beneficial to the Marquess of Wiltshire and his family than with her placed in a foreign court. Anne hadn't been happy with the original plan as it would mean she would be alone with no one she knew, she was less than pleased with the new plan.

Elizabeth Boleyn watched her youngest daughter with a heavy heart. Her oldest, Mary was happy to be going to the exotic and elegant French court but Elizabeth was not happy. How could a mother be happy when her two daughters were being snatched from her? At least Anne, as a lady to Princess Mary would be closer and able to see them a few times a year. How soon would it be before her baby George was also sent away to start his future?

She knelt in front of her dark-haired daughter. She had certainly taken after her father. Anne was not as flirty or playful as Mary. Some would argue that she was also not as beautiful but Elizabeth could see that she would grow into a captivating young woman. But for now she was just a shadow of the woman she would become. "Anne you should be happy about this. It will mean a very high place for you in the future."

Anne regarded her mother silently. What was there to be happy about? "I don't want to go." she stated plainly. She didn't want to leave Hever and its oh so familiar scenery. She loved it here.

"Anne you will be around other girls your age. The Princess Mary herself is only two years younger than you. You will have many new duties but also many new friends and playmates." Elizabeth said knowing how much Anne wanted someone to play with her. "You must make me proud and serve the Princess well alright?" she continued smiling at her daughter even though her heart was breaking.

Anne thought this over silently. She loved her parents very much and did not want to disappoint them especially her mother. She finally nodded and Elizabeth pulled her in for a hug.

Ludlow Palace, a few weeks later.

Anne entered the palace nervously. The maid that was leading her to her room was silent and Anne wondered if something was wrong with her. They finally reached the room and as Anne stepped inside, the maid turned and left. Anne felt more alone now than ever. She went about settling herself and her stuff, casting occasional glances at the other bed.

She knew she was to share a room with another girl but she didn't know who or what she was like. A small blonde haired girl entered the room, surprising Anne. They looked about the same age. "Hello my name is Jane Seymour." the other girl said shyly not meeting Anne's eyes.

"I'm Anne Boleyn." Anne replied. They stood looking at each other silently for a few minutes until Jane smiled.

"You should meet Princess Mary. She's really nice and I'm sure she'll like you." Jane gushed enthusiastically. Anne nodded, returning the smile.

Jane led her through a complex maze of rooms and hallways until they finally got to the Princesses rooms. Jane knocked and upon entering both her and Anne curtsied as was expected. Mary looked them over, wondering who Jane had brought with her.

"This is Anne Boleyn your highness." Jane said gesturing to Anne. Mary studied her, remembering that the Lady Salisbury had said she would have a new attendant coming.

"Welcome Lady Anne." Mary said politely as she had been taught. Anne smiled at her thankfully. Maybe. Just maybe it wouldn't be as bad as she had thought.

Yes I am also having Anne/Jane friendship. This fics will have a lot of unexpected alliances. Well what'd you think? I hope you all liked it. Next chapter we will skip forward quite a few years to the year 1527 which means the Great Matter will be taking place and the beginning of a plan is forming in Mary's mind. R+R please. Thanks for reading.
