Chapter 1:
A/N. This is an AU OUAT fic inspired by the TV show, The Royals. Character personalities have been altered to fit persona's of characters in the TV show.
Mary Margaret walks down the hall of the palace in a white lace dress. On her left is her secretary Zelena, dressed in a black skirt suit and a while blouse, and on her right is her other secretary Albert, dressed in a black suit, white dress shirt, and black tie. There are palace guards following behind the group as they walk down the hall.
"You have a fitting for the garden party." Albert tells her while flipping through a book containing the Queen's schedule.
"Followed by the charity photoshoot." Zelena adds.
"Oh, and Sir Elton John would like to pop around and say hello." Albert says while closing the book.
"Pop around and say hello? Give someone a title and they treat the place like a Starbucks." Mary Margaret responds.
"Quite. The Queen is unfornately indisposed… now at half past twelve…" Albert starts about to open the book in his hands again.
"Okay, just give me the book, Albert." Mary Margaret tells him with an outstretched hand and takes the book from his hands. She flips through a few pages skimming the content on them.
"Are you ready, your majesty?" Zelena asks her.
"Of course, I'm ready. I'm the Queen of England, when am I not ready?" She responds as she shuts the book and hands it back to Albert.
She turns around as palace guards open the door. Before her, she sees a crowd of people waving the flag of the United Kingdom just beyond the steps of the palace. Albert puts out his arm and Mary Margaret places her hand on it. She allows him to lead her out of the places doors and down the steps. She smiles the whole way to the car that has just pulled up to the steps. She places sunglasses on her head before stepping into the car.

Graham chugs a pint at his favorite bar at university. He hears people cheering around him as they play darts and drink.
"Yeah, of course, get on with it. Really, what's the point?" He asks out loud to the crowd around him.
"It's a race, you idiot." He hears a girl shout from above in an American accent.
The crowd quiets instantly and all turn to look at the girl who shouted. The crowd is shocked that someone said something like that to him.
"I mean, it's a race, you idiot, your royal highness?" The girl clarifies her statement. She has long black hair with streaks of red in it and she is wearing black jeans and a red tank top.
"It's a race, true enough, but some things in life are meant to be savored. A cold drink." Graham states before finishing the rest of his pint. He then proceeds to throw a dart which lands in the bullseye of the dart board. "Dart with your mates." He continues as he walks towards a few other guys. The crowd around him cheers on. He throws another dart on the second dart board and hits the bullseye again. The crowd cheers.
"The woman in your bed." He ends while staring straight at the girl. He throws the dart and lands in the bullseye again on the third board without even looking at the board. The crowd cheers again.
He smiles and stares at her. She smiles back, shaking her head dumbfounded at what just happened. She cannot believe she just did that. It was so unlike her. A few moments later, Graham walks up to the balcony and extends his hand to the girl. She takes it and he leads her back to his room. They stop outside of his door and he begins to kiss her. He kisses her lips passionately before moving to her neck. He spins her around so her back is facing his chest and continues to kiss her neck.
"Damn the feels good." She breathes as he continues to kiss her neck. She turns around and places her hand on his neck. "Let me ask you something. Can we go somewhere without them?" She asks him gesturing to his security team.
"Sure. Where did you have in mind? Paris?" he asks her.
"I was thinking more like your bed." She responds.
"Oh, I like that even better." He tells her before leaning down to kiss her again.
She breaks the kiss. "But… umm… could we really go to Paris?" She asks him.
"Sure. My sister is there right now." He states before leaning back into to kiss her.
